"Magic? Now?" Redel couldn't help but pause. He was naturally very interested in such magical and powerful magic.
During this period of time, Lin En would occasionally stuff a lot of new knowledge into his brain, which seemed to be physics, chemistry, and mathematics... It was said that these were the basic courses that must be learned to become a wizard.
When he has free time, Redel will take a quick look at it a few times. This knowledge is very addictive, from the movement of objects to the formation of everything. Perhaps this is the world in the eyes of a wizard, everything runs according to certain laws, and magic is the reproduction of these objective laws.
"But didn't you say before that my magic talent is very limited?" Redel asked in confusion. "Isn't it too late to learn magic now?"
"I have a way to make you a spellcaster in a short period of time. Of course, this is an experiment and I can't guarantee the success rate!" Lin En said bluntly.
"Come on!" Redel took a deep breath and prepared himself to face everything. Then he felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if someone was stirring it with a pickaxe.
Although Redel is just an ordinary person who cannot use magic, his willpower is much stronger than that of an ordinary person after being tempered in the 'dream world'. The discomfort caused by having his mental defenses forcibly broken through is particularly obvious.
Even though Redel himself has a certain talent for magic, it is not an easy task to enable him to gain the ability to cast spells in a short period of time.
The most critical factor is where the magic power comes from. Even a wizard apprentice can't cast a few first-ring magics, not to mention that even the apprentice is not Redel.
Lin En chose a shortcut. He had recorded the magic he mastered into the magic field, forming a large number of spell slots.
In this way, Redel can unleash magic through a deep mental connection with the intelligent brain.
This was Lin En's attempt to explore the secrets of divine arts! When the mental frequency had been cracked by 50%, Redel suddenly felt as if his brain had exploded, and his consciousness entered an extremely mysterious realm, with countless gray runes floating in a void of space.
These runes look very complicated, and are composed of lines that cannot be described in words...
As Redel was amazed, the two runes at the bottom suddenly lit up. At the same time, corresponding information appeared in his mind, and Lin En's voice also sounded synchronously.
"This is a magic of [Lightning Attraction] and [Lightning Strike]!"
"First-ring magic?" Redel was a little surprised. Just now, Lin En said that the bishop was a second-ring clergyman. These two first-ring magics alone might not be enough to defeat him, right? Lin En said with a smile. "The strength of magic can sometimes not be simply determined by the number of rings. Some specific spells can often achieve good results with the help of the power of nature."
"For example, now!" As soon as Lin En finished speaking, a loud thunder sounded in the sky.
"Remember the physics knowledge I transmitted to you? About the formation of lightning strikes?" Lin En said with a smile.
The reason why thunder can travel across thousands of meters in the sky and hit the ground is that the electrons gather in the clouds, causing the electric potential to increase, forming an electric potential difference with the ground. When the potential difference reaches a certain level, it will ionize the molecules between the clouds and the ground, forming positive and negative charges, which attract each other and form a falling lightning strike.
However, air is not a good conductor, so most lightning is interrupted in the air and cannot reach the ground.
After Lin En's explanation, Redel quickly tried it. The effect of the first-level magic on the electric field was very weak, but it was enough. After all, lightning always falls along the path that is most easily ionized! The next moment, under Redel's guidance, a violent thunder exploded in everyone's ears. It was the explosion caused by lightning breaking through the air! But lightning came faster than sound!
A white beam of light instantly broke through the clouds and fell straight down from the sky!
However, Redel's first spell was slightly off target and did not hit anyone. The falling lightning struck the ground and blasted a large hole in the solid masonry.
Everyone present stopped what they were doing, apparently stunned by the sudden flash of thunder.
"Divine punishment, this is divine punishment!" the bishop shouted loudly, and the priests beside him were also excited, thinking that it must be their devout prayers, or the blasphemous actions of these miners, that aroused the wrath of the true God and brought down the thunder from the sky.
Compared to the jubilant bishops and priests, Ham and others turned pale and looked terrified. Some even threw the manuscripts in their hands to the ground and knelt down to pray for the goddess' forgiveness.
"Great Moon Goddess, please put down your anger and punish the blasphemer in front of you!" The bishop was extremely excited. He opened his arms and looked up to the sky, shouting loudly.
"Then go see your goddess!" Redel roared, raised his finger and pointed at the bishop, launching the [Thunder Spell].
In an instant, an extremely bright light fell again. It was the great power of nature!
The bishop, who was spreading his arms, looking up at the sky and praying for the arrival of God, also saw the dazzling light. The high-voltage lightning of tens of millions volts went straight through the [Holy Light Barrier] that made them helpless, and the powerful electric current instantly penetrated the bishop's whole body.
Everything happened too fast. At the moment of death, excitement and joy still remained on the bishop's face!
Seeing the lightning falling from the sky and turning the bishop into a charred corpse, this scene that seemed like a punishment from God dumbfounded the priests who were praying devoutly. Could it be that the great Lord of the Stars and the Goddess of the Moon had completely given up on them?
The faith of several priests showed signs of collapse, but Redel had no intention of showing mercy. He immediately ordered Ham and others, who had just woken up from a dream, to kill the remaining priests with crossbows.
He used the lightning-inducing technique twice in succession. Although the magic power consumed was directly drawn from the magic field, the consumption of mental power also caused Redel's brain to feel a little painful.
The miners on the field looked at Redel with astonishment, excitement and shock.
A thought even popped up in Ham's mind: Could it be that Redel was the messenger of God? Otherwise, how could he summon lightning from the sky?
