After Alice gave a frantic explanation, Lind realized what he might have just experienced.
A true god!
God of Magic, Weaver of the Magic Web!
Tiolanthes the Omnikey
He is the master of the magic net, the embodiment of magic, and the key to all knowledge and mysteries!
The source of all magic spells exists!
Linde was utterly bewildered. What had he done to deserve being targeted by a god?
Linde suddenly felt that the ruins beneath his feet had become extremely hot to the touch.
Could there be some enormous secret hidden in these ruins beneath my feet...?
At this moment, the girl beside him continued speaking:
"That's the god of magic! You actually listened to His divine decree. With the magic net above, if the people at the academy find out, they'll go crazy."
Linde could hear the fervent tone in the girl's voice beside him; he knew all too well how powerful the gods of this world were on this continent.
After all, in this world, gods are not just for show. He had seen the Church of Light in the Earl's territory before, and the heretical cult was a "life-or-death friendship".
Although he received a divine oracle, theoretically he should be very happy.
But here's the key point!
He did not hear the contents of the divine oracle!
I don't know why, but I just didn't hear the last sentence clearly.
The preceding sentence states: "[All the power of magic converges here, and all things are deconstructed here.]"
It doesn't sound like a divine oracle at all.
Everything seemed like an absurd joke.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Linde realized that the preceding sentence also provided a lot of information.
First, all magical power converges here, which can be interpreted as: this is a node of the magic network, where all magical power can be said to converge.
The following sentence either refers to the function of the ruins here, or that there are other secrets here, and the ruins were built for that purpose.
Lind told Alice what he was thinking, but Alice wasn't surprised as he had expected. Instead, she said:
"The contents of the oracle are known only to the oracle himself; the true words of the gods are beyond the comprehension of mortals."
“Just like the divine message you just mentioned, I couldn’t hear a word of it. In fact, it seemed to me that your mouth was muffled, or that you might not have spoken at all.”
"What!?"
These words truly astonished Lind.
I underestimated this world. I thought it was just a medieval world with a little magic, but...
Perhaps sensing what Lind was thinking, Alice comforted him:
"Oracles are more like a blessing. Those who receive oracles have more or less extraordinary abilities. They are all revered by the world as oracles and are legendary figures."
"It has been a hundred years since the last oracle appeared."
Listening to Alice's words, Lind fell into deep thought. Seeing Lind deep in thought, Alice stood up and said:
"Linde, stop thinking about things that aren't there. Just get some rest tonight. Astaire will protect you."
Astaire, standing beside him, nodded and said:
"Sir, as soon as you were in trouble, I immediately gathered the troops and carried you out of the valley. We are now back at our previous camp. Please rest well today."
Linde felt relieved and lay down.
Seeing this, the two left the tent without disturbing Linde's rest.
After Linde and the other two walked away, he sat up straight in bed.
He had just learned from Alice that oracles had appeared many times in the world, and every one of those who received an oracle was a legend among legends, with many being household names.
If he doesn't conceal himself when he returns to his territory, it will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
If he had already established himself here, he wouldn't be afraid of these things; on the contrary, his identity as an oracle would bring him many advantages.
But now... Linde looked at himself lying on the bed. He didn't even have a decent castle. He was empty-handed and penniless.
The soldiers who came out this time are all loyal men, so it should be easy to keep the news out of us now. I'll have Astaire do the blocking tomorrow.
As Lin De was pondering this, he suddenly remembered that the divine oracle... he wondered which was stronger, this system or the divine oracle.
Linde summoned the system in his mind, thinking that the system was still the same as before, but unexpectedly, something was wrong this time.
As soon as Linde brought up the system page, he saw that the system had generated a brand new frame, which recorded a series of historical records about previous encounters.
Unknown source detected...
Quarantine begins...
Quarantine complete.
In the process of organizing the fragments...
...Integration complete
Obtain a special... aura
Linde closed the history, and then an additional window popped up.
The text above reads:
Special Halo: Deconstructing the Halo
Effect:
Once the halo is activated, it can deconstruct all inorganic matter within its range.
Range: 5m.
"Special halo? Deconstruction? And it's only five meters?"
Linde was initially filled with doubt, then overjoyed.
They've actually gained a new halo!
Although we don't yet know exactly what it's for.
Judging from the whole process, it seems that Linde's system is more powerful, extracting the entire oracle of the God of Magic's blessing and turning it into a new halo. This is probably why Linde couldn't hear the last part of the oracle.
Perhaps this way, we won't have to wait for the random aura every year anymore, and we might be able to get it from the gods much faster.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin De gave a wry smile. He was really audacious. He had only been here for a little over a year, and he had already set his sights on the gods.
But since nothing happened to me after doing such a "blasphemous act," it must mean that it's okay?
"Once I've established myself, I'll try my luck in the Church of Light. If I succeed, that would be amazing."
Thinking of this, Lin De couldn't help but laugh out loud.
As I was laughing, I suddenly remembered something.
I seem to have forgotten someone who's still hiding in my shadow... Oh no, the cat.
Linde quickly activated his senses and looked at his own shadow.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
The original catgirl disappeared, replaced by a dying kitten.
Moreover, the situation looked very bad; it felt like he could die at any moment.
"Holy crap, could it be because of the oracle that she became like this...?"
Linde looked left and right, trying to reach his hand into his shadow, but all he got in response was the cold ground.
"How can I help her when she's hiding in the shadows like this..."
Linde tried to retract his own activating aura to see if he could help her recover, after all, my shadow is also me.
As the halo shrank, the familiar feeling of fullness returned to Lind's body.
The kitten in the shadows, which had been on the verge of death, visibly relaxed, as if it were bathing in a hot spring, and its condition quickly improved.
"Looks like it works! This activation aura is really effective!"
After a while, the kitten's condition stabilized, and its body gradually began to change towards that of a catgirl.
Seeing that she had recovered, Linde once again spread his aura.
Linde can't do anything about her now. Since sleeping in the shadows doesn't bother him, Linde is too lazy to bother with her. Let her sleep as long as she can.
Now, Lind wants to see what effect this new halo will have.
