Big Capitalist
Chapter 183 What is Divine Power?
"You're in my body, it won't have any effect on me, right?" Merlin remained alert, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Selene frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, thinking to herself, do you think I want to stay in your body? She cleared her throat and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, my presence in your body will not have any effect on you. On the contrary, the divine power brought by the godhead will nourish your body and soul, which will be of great benefit to you."
Merlin's tension eased a little after hearing this, but he still didn't completely let down his guard. "Then could you please stop prying into my thoughts?"
Selene readily agreed and nodded, as if to show her sincerity. Then she became very serious again, her eyes fixed on Merlin's face. "But I must tell you that what happened between us must never be known to others. I am very vulnerable now. If others knew that an ant like you actually possessed godhood, what awaits you would be..."
As she spoke, Selene made a gesture of wiping her neck, with a sneer on her face.
Although Selene made vicious moves, she was in the form of a little loli and had no deterrent effect at all. Instead, she was a little funny.
Merlin was naturally aware of the stakes involved, and his heart tightened. He knew that if the news leaked, he would be in irreversible danger.
At the same time, he felt a little regretful. If he could use Selene's identity, it would be great. With her influence in the elves, she could definitely get the entire elves to work for him. With the support of the elves, he could also stop eating beef on a small scale.
"You inherit my moon magic, and your status in the elves is similar to that of a priest. It is not impossible for you to borrow the power of the elves." Selene's voice was filled with pride, as if she was proud of her identity.
After hearing this, Merlin pointed at her angrily and said, "Didn't I tell you not to pry into my mind?"
Selene stuck out her tongue, lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out without a care in the world, and replied lazily, "I'll definitely do it next time."
Merlin thought to himself that this elven god would not be so honest.
"How much faith power do I have now? What kind of deal can I make with you?"
Selene waved her pink little hands, seeming to be a little disdainful. "Merlin, I have drained all the power of faith from you. I helped you recover, awakened the Eye of the God of War, and traded the Moon God Art. You don't have any extra power of faith left. If you want to trade with me, then collect the faith as soon as possible."
Merlin felt dissatisfied, and felt that the Moon Goddess had cheated him. Next time he wanted her to materialize the value of her power of faith, he would do so before trading with her. This would prevent her from exploiting him at will.
Finally, Merlin asked a question he had always wanted to know: "What is divine power, and what is the fundamental difference between it and magic power?"
When the Moon Goddess heard this question, she smiled meaningfully and replied, "Divine power is the rule of this world. The biggest difference between divine power and magic power is that divine power can do everything!"
The Arcane Academy, a palace of magic academia that has always stood at the top of the Azer continent, has recently been mired in heavy gloom, and the situation has become extremely pessimistic.
Ever since the invasion of the evil cultists that occurred in the Monster Mountain Range that night, it had somehow spread as quickly as a plague, with no possibility of concealment.
The exposure of the incident in which Mr. Harold and the Student Union of the Arcane Academy specifically rescued aristocratic students was like a thunderclap, causing a storm in all walks of life.
For a time, the teaching group of the Arcane Academy was questioned by people from all walks of life. The six generations of empires that controlled endless power and strength also united to put pressure on the Arcane Academy.
It is true that in the rules known to everyone, the nobles, no matter where they are, enjoy privileges that ordinary people cannot even hope to obtain. In their eyes, the lives of ordinary people are worthless, so how can they be compared with the lives of the nobles? However, who dares to openly speak of such a blatant class difference?
Especially those in power, they know very well that for the stability of the empire, the civilians, who seem like ants, actually contain tremendous power that is terrifying.
The Arcane Academy has trained many powerful civilian magicians over the years. These magicians of ordinary origin have each established their own connections and power in the vast world of the Azer continent.
Although they are not noble, their influence should not be underestimated. They don't know where they got the news of this incident, but this group of magicians used their own energy to put pressure on the Arcane Academy, just to seek justice for those ordinary civilian students.
The nobles of the six empires were equally unwilling to be outdone. On the surface, they scolded and taught their children who were admitted to the school, pretending to be selfless and strictly forbidding them to have any preferential treatment. In fact, they secretly relied on their own intricate relationships and deep connections to constantly exert pressure on the Arcane Academy.
As nobles, their inherent sense of superiority meant that they would never allow their status to be challenged in the slightest. If they were treated the same as the commoners, it would undoubtedly be a great insult to their authority.
The Arcane Academy was like a rat in a bellows, being bullied from both ends. On the one hand, the pressure from the outside was like a mountain pressing down on the academy, making it hard for it to breathe; on the other hand, the pressure lurking in the dark was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, eerie and terrifying.
The Arcane Academy needed to maintain its reputation and preserve its authoritative status as the best magic academy in the Azer Continent, but the shocking financial deficit forced them to bow to the nobles. After all, the "education funds" generously sponsored by the nobles were still the key to keeping the academy running.
There is a clear rule in the Aize Continent that demigods are not allowed to participate in worldly affairs. Therefore, this heavy pressure, like a mountain, was all placed on Vice Principal Jenny and the teachers of the academy.
Most of the teachers at the Arcane Academy have strong backing. They are well aware of the difficulty and complexity of this matter. No matter how it is handled, it will offend a huge force.
Therefore, no teacher was willing to take over this hot mess. As for Vice Principal Jenny, there were always bigwigs from all sides who could restrain her in various ways, making it difficult for her to move forward and exert her power.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the towering Mage Tower of the Arcane Academy was heavy and oppressive. Vice Principal Jenny and Yuna sat opposite each other, and in front of them was a contract document that was so heavy that it seemed to carry a heavy burden.
