A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Stricter families, especially those where martial arts are passed down from generation to generation, will start practicing martial arts at the age of twelve or thirteen, while more relaxed families will choose to start practicing martial arts at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Of course, there are also children who start practicing at a younger age, but injuries are inevitable when practicing martial arts, and it is not necessarily a good thing if the children are too young and their muscles and bones have not yet fully developed.

Dierko's age has also reached that point. In fact, Mr. Visajic has already started to arrange this matter and is looking for a suitable coach.

But the problem of the potion was not yet solved.

Children from poor families may not understand this, but children from rich families all know the importance of potions.

In a sense, the performance of the potion largely determines how far you can go.

With good potions, you can recover from injuries faster, reduce pain, and enhance your physical fitness... Your training efficiency will be much higher than that of your companions who use ordinary potions.

Not to mention those poor guys who don’t even have magic potions.

The coaching aspect was easy to deal with, but when it came to potions, Dierke couldn't ask his uncle for help.

All my uncle can provide is ordinary magic potions, common stuff.

Of course, there's nothing to complain about; it's already a generous offer. Even a common ointment is worth a fortune. Using it casually could easily cost over a dozen florins a month.

Master Vishatych himself also used common products when he was practicing martial arts.

But people are always greedy, at least Dill is not so willing.

During this period, whenever Dierke had the chance, he would go to the magic market in the city (so called because magicians often visited there) to look for the right potion for himself.

Unfortunately, Dierke doesn't have much money.

Just because his uncle is rich doesn't mean he is rich.

And those magicians, including the genuine ones and the scammers, are all greedy for money.

If you want to get those rare and precious potion formulas from them, it is impossible without paying a high price.

Unless you can offer something that the magician is interested in in exchange.

Dierke had already found his ideal target, but unfortunately the other party offered a very high price - one that he definitely couldn't afford.

But this book... Dierke inexplicably felt that perhaps this book could be exchanged for that precious formula.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else and quickly ran out with the book.

This book is not very thick. A skilled copyist should be able to copy it within ten hours.

Outside the window, night has fallen.

Thomas lay in a dirt hole, set up a telescope, and looked at the distant buildings from a distance.

This approach...seems a bit like voyeurism.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, it was not appropriate for Thomas to go into someone else's house and observe closely.

According to the Blasphemous Knight himself, seven or eight o'clock is usually the time for his sacrifice.

It's almost time now.

Thomas had already delivered the Nameless Book to the other party during the day, so there was no doubt that the Blasphemous Knight would try to perform the sacrifice according to the records of the Nameless Book tonight.

Sure enough, through the telescope, you can see the couple coming outside the house and lighting a fire.

This was a necessary preparation for the burnt offering.

Next, the formal ceremony began... All the rituals were carried out according to the records in the Nameless Book. Or rather, the one Thomas had just compiled in the past two days.

It should be a meat tribute...but it is unclear what kind of meat it was.

After all, it was night, and even with a telescope, the field of vision would be affected to a certain extent.

The couple, especially the Blasphemous Knight, had already begun to pray and kowtow to the sacred emblem of the hammer and sickle.

Sometimes I feel like this kind of scene... is like some kind of farce. Thomas sighed, then looked inward, focusing his attention on the damaged godhead.

Sure enough, a ball of divine power was being sucked out from the fire that was distorted into the shape of a sickle and hammer.

Specifically, countless particles are being sucked out of the fire and condensed into a ball of divine power.

Although Thomas had long believed that his extra divine power income was related to the Blasphemous Knight, it was only at this moment that it became completely clear.

Is this fire really used to allow the Mu Hu monks to possess unlimited magic?

I'm afraid this is not the case, but that Monk Mu Hu only developed it for this purpose.

Countless thoughts flashed through Thomas' mind.

Now, he was so far away from the sacrifice site that even with a large telescope, it was difficult to see it.

This was a safe distance that Thomas was absolutely certain of.

The damaged divine power can only absorb divine power within its immediate range, and the effect will be significantly reduced if the distance is slightly greater.

That's why he could only absorb divine power when he was inside a church, or at least next to one.

Clearly, there was now some connection between the fire and the sickle-hammer pattern. Or rather, it seemed as if a space-time portal had opened, connecting the two.

But this shouldn't be a one-way channel.

Fire was a gift from Ahura Mazda to Mithra, and it is hard to imagine that Mithra would need a "one-way channel".

In other words, after fully understanding the origin of the fire, Thomas felt that this gift should be something that would help Mithra. And it should be something that would help Mithra when he first came into this world.

If there had been no help, Ahura Mazda would not have given fire to Mithra.

And after Mithra established his foothold in this world, this thing was of no use to him.

Otherwise, Mithra would not have left it to the Mughals, and the sacred fire was eventually extinguished by the Stellar-Crane Cult.

Now, with the help of fire, the damaged godhead can absorb the power of the sacrifice.

But just asking is not enough. If you want to maintain your image as the "Nameless God", you must also give.

How can we give?

First of all, it can be confirmed that the damaged godhead is not under his control.

Countless experiments have told Thomas that although the damaged godhead is highly bound to himself, it is actually in another dimension. Thomas can neither touch it nor have any influence on it.

In reality, the damaged godhead was simply operating on its own. Whether it was gathering divine power or absorbing some external force to repair itself, it was all spontaneous and uncontrollable.

Thomas thought about it for a long time and finally decided to give it a try.

When the fire is burning with divine power, it obeys Thomas' will.

So Thomas moved the fire, turned it, and aimed it at the damaged godhead from another angle.

On the other side, the Blasphemous Knight couple were offering sacrifices, but suddenly, the emblem of the Nameless God they placed on top reacted.

A light appeared on the sickle and hammer.

Those were strands of golden light.

Chapter 207 The Nameless Book 5

Eva stared at the divine emblem in surprise.

Look at the flames gathering above.

It is some kind of mysterious and vast power, ancient lost knowledge, and even more eternal and majestic power, the root of all things in the world.

A roar echoed in her mind, a storm of knowledge assaulting the boundaries of her sanity. The thirst for truth seemed to grip her mind, the mortal soul yearning for a power from a higher power. She suddenly widened her eyes, staring at the oncoming...

A hand reached out, blocking her view.

The roar continued to echo in my consciousness, and the confused and out-of-control perception stirred my sanity, and gradually subsided as time passed.

It took a long time for Eva to recover.

"Don't look directly at God!" Boris' voice rang out.

This sentence is written in the "Nameless Book". I didn't know why at first, but now I understand.

With just one glance, she was almost taken away by the brilliance of the Nameless God. This was also the main reason why the Nameless God was accustomed to hiding his divinity.

His brilliance is not something that mortals can look directly at.

But no matter what, this situation shows that the nameless god is indeed paying attention to them.

The two people prayed more devoutly.

Thomas, looking through the telescope in the distance, had not expected the situation to be so simple.

He simply moved the fire to another angle in a quasi-meditative state, and the divine emblem in reality immediately responded.

A golden light burst out from above.

It can be seen through a telescope from a long distance.

As for why this effect occurs... Thomas can only think that it is due to the difference in "dimension".

The damaged godhead is located in a higher dimension, and any slight change in that dimension will have a huge impact on reality.

Just like a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest can cause a tornado in North America.

The success of this experiment gave Thomas a boost of confidence.

It really can, Fire is a "two-way" thing.

At least you can pretend.

As for actually bestowing something... well, the Blasphemy Knight doesn't need that for now.

Now Thomas only has two things to give to others.

The healing effect of divine power and the magical recovery effect of fire.

However, he didn't even have enough divine power for himself, so he had to save it for practicing magic. And the Blasphemous Knight was not a spellcaster.

In addition, Thomas himself didn't understand how to use the "infinite casting" effect of the fire.

I've heard from Gandalf and the high priest before that although the Holy Fire provides unlimited spellcasting, not just anyone can use it. There must be a "contract" procedure, but the fire does not require this.

But I don’t know how to make this “contract” work. I also don’t know how to say “no need”.

The "infinite casting" effect of the fire seed must be tested on another person.

Then Thomas tried a second round.

It can be confirmed that the effect of releasing the golden light just now has nothing to do with the location of the fire or its distance from the damaged divine nature.

But it is related to the act of "moving".

Every time the fire was moved slightly, after a very short delay, the divine emblem over there would release light.

Then after a short while, the light naturally faded away.

In other words, if Thomas wanted the divine emblem to continue to glow, he would have to circle the fire around the damaged divine nature.

The night is getting darker.

Over there, the couple had finished the sacrifice, cleaned up the scene, and returned to the house.

Thomas also retreated quietly.

It was already a bit late to return to Novgorod. After all, in order to facilitate the secret operation, Thomas was walking instead of riding a horse.

Moreover, the security alert levels in different cities are different.

In Kyiv, entering and exiting the city gates at night, especially going out, only requires a bribe of a few silver coins.

But the situation in Novgorod was different. Thomas had already learned that entering and leaving the city gates at night would be very complicated.

It's not just a matter of getting permission from a guard; there are a ton of checkpoints to clear. If you really want to bribe your way in, it's possible, but you'll have to pay a lot of money.

He made his way to the main road, hoping to find a place to stay for the night in the nearest village or town.

Although it was already very late, it would probably be at least midnight before we found a place to stay.

But having a half-night's rest is better than no half-night's rest...

But just as Thomas was thinking about this, he saw several carriages coming in the darkness.

Still traveling at night?!

This was a small caravan, and they rushed towards the gates of Novgorod without stopping. They were quite fast.

Thomas was slightly surprised, but he just watched the team pass by.
