At this point, Vittorio's face showed a look of reminiscence. He had very limited knowledge of this very long period of history. He only knew that a protracted war was fought on this continent in order to gain more faith.

In the end, there was no doubt that the Holy See achieved the final victory and ended the previous chaotic scene of numerous countries. It integrated eleven kingdoms and dozens of grand duchies together to establish a huge empire.

"So those evil gods are the powerful wizards who failed in the fight for faith?" Lin En guessed.

He finally understood why the Holy See repeatedly suppressed and purged wizards.

First of all, every powerful wizard is a potential threat and a contender for faith.

Secondly, if powerful strength can be obtained through another means other than faith, the influence of the Holy See will inevitably be greatly weakened.

As for those who possess good talents, they can be incorporated into the theological system through baptism of faith and serve as bishops or cardinals.

“You can say that, but based on my understanding, there are also many evil gods that are some kind of existence from outside this continent.” Vittorio’s expression became a little solemn, and he quickly continued to explain.

In short, psychic magic is a shortcut to gaining power, but it is also honey wrapped in poison. It will make people immersed in the rapid increase of power. Even this kind of belief method is not without flaws.

Those evil gods attempt to use the connection of faith and harvest the souls of devout believers to increase their own power, and will inevitably be affected in the process.

Its horror lies in the fact that it will subtly influence the object of belief, after all, believers believe in the gods in their own minds.

So far, Vittorio has not heard of any method that can completely eradicate this soul pollution.

Personality modification? Lin En couldn't help but shudder.

In other words, the price of rapidly increasing strength is losing yourself?

The end of the evil wizard Merck is the best demonstration. As his power gradually increases, his image becomes closer to the elemental spirits, and his temperament also changes greatly.

"Even the one honored by the Holy See..." Lin En wanted to say [Ella], but when he remembered that Vittorio had stopped Cosimo from saying the other person's full name, he quickly changed his words. "Is that person no exception?"

"Perhaps." Vittorio shook his head. "She has gone deeper into this path than anyone else. Hundreds of years have passed since she won the War of Faith. No one knows what state she is in now. The only thing we can imagine is that her power must have grown to an extremely terrifying level."

Harof on the side gave a positive answer. "I think even that person couldn't completely solve this problem, otherwise the wizard land would have been wiped out long ago."

Because of this, the Magic Council has strict requirements on the study of psionic magic, and this restriction reached its peak after the tragedy caused by the psionic school.

It turns out that wizards who are unable to advance due to their talent are capable of anything.

"What about the [Source of Magic Power]? I heard that the wizards of Greenriel use this potion to break their own limits and improve their mental strength. The materials used to make it contain something called spiritual essence. Is the promotion also achieved through the fusion of souls?" Lin En couldn't help but ask.

"No, ectoplasm is not completely equivalent to the soul. It is only a remnant of psychic energy and magic power. It is relatively safe, but it cannot be taken continuously. It needs to be taken with corresponding magic potions to effectively utilize its power." Harof explained.

Then Harof asked vaguely about the latest situation of the [Society of Mysticism]. The pressure from the Holy See was too heavy, and the Wizarding Land alone was not enough to compete with it.

Lin En was naturally aware of Harof's little thoughts, but he did not make any guarantees. He just evaded the question by saying that the legendary wizards of the [Society of Secret Magic] were basically focused on studying magic, rarely interfered in the affairs of the outside world, and might not even be on this continent. However, he might be able to contact some colleagues who were willing to resist the Vatican.

…

The next day, in order to clear away the haze brought about by the evil god incident, an extremely grand celebration ceremony was held in the city of Greenriel.

Raphael and his team, who captured the messenger of doom, Cosimo, and successfully delayed August, undoubtedly became heroes who saved the city of Greenriel. Almost everyone in the team received a Morning Star Medal.

Lin En, the greatest contributor, was nominated for the Silver Moon Medal.

This shows that it is not easy to get the highest honor award in the wizarding land. Lin En estimated that unless he kills Ogest by himself, it would be almost impossible...

Fortunately, Lin En did not care much about these honors. What made him most happy was that the parliament approved his application and was willing to give him a new [Corona Medal].

After all, he activated the protective spell stored in the medal - [Vittorio's Barrier] in order to save the Wizard City. It would be unreasonable if he didn't reimburse him.

Considering the strange situation in the Sea of ​​Misty Sea, Lynn did not stay in Greenriel City for long. On the morning of the fourth day, he submitted his resignation to the parliament and prepared to return to Yieta.

In the evening, the airship hovered over the city square.

"Mr. Lin, are you ready to leave now? I haven't been able to ask you many questions about calculus and curve equations." Tik said with regret.

These days, he has become obsessed with the study of calculus, which is simply the only way to reveal the microscopic field. Tik even feels that many spell models can be reconstructed using the knowledge of calculus to enhance their power and reduce certain casting requirements.

It was a pity that the master Leibniz who was guiding them seemed to be very busy. He occasionally appeared in the [Ocean of Mathematical Olympiads] and just threw them a new Olympiad book and asked them to figure it out slowly...

Tik didn't dare to say much, let alone ask more questions, because the knowledge, formulas and theories contained in each Olympiad book were extremely profound. He couldn't imagine how much effort had been spent on summarizing them. He could only feel ashamed that their learning progress was too slow, and he didn't know when they would be able to truly participate in the research on establishing the calculus system.

Lynn became their savior, the only person in Greenrill who could understand these calculus books and give them some answers.

According to the other party, Mathematical Olympiad is a required subject for all members of the [Mystical Society]. He was also fortunate enough to have studied with Master Leibniz for a period of time, so he knew a little bit of related knowledge.

But after asking several times, Tik found that Lin En was too humble. It was not just that he knew a little bit, there was absolutely nothing he didn't understand.

If it weren't for the fact that an aerospace airship could only accommodate a limited number of passengers, Tik would have wanted to follow the other party to the Yieta Harbor.
