A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Chapter 210 Harvest

The fire at the Knights' headquarters burned all day.

There is no other way. The fire-fighting technology these days is not good. There are no faucets or fire extinguishers, so we can only rely on manpower to get water.

Even in the rain, putting out fires is difficult.

But fortunately, with the help of heavy rain, only the houses were burned and no one was injured.

The fire was put out when night fell.

The entire headquarters of the Knights Templar had been burned beyond recognition, with even the stones being cracked.

It doesn't take an experienced engineer to see that it has become a dangerous building.

Thomas estimated that he would have to rebuild the Knights' headquarters.

Fortunately, there was no other loss.

Of course, even if the headquarters burned down, as the Grand Commander and the actual ruler of Rhodes Island, he would not be left without a place to live.

Thomas chose to live at the Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce headquarters on the outskirts of the city.

The Rhodes Island Chamber of Commerce was banned by the Knights, and now it is an empty house, but the building itself is large enough and the quality inside is high enough.

It's just a good place to stay temporarily.

Thomas lay down on the bed that had been arranged for him in the bedroom, and only now had the leisure to stop and think about what had happened.

Field...?

Thomas closed his eyes and opened them again.

Feeling the power surging out of the body, a translucent halo is formed.

The Wolf God's domain is invisible to the naked eye and requires magical vision. Thomas's domain, on the other hand, is visible to the naked eye—although it's translucent and difficult to detect. But if you really focus and observe carefully, you can still see it.

Of course, if it is in a specific environment such as rain, fog, or water, it is difficult to distinguish even if you observe carefully.

The released domain can wash away external magic, not only increasing one's own magic resistance, but also destroying other people's spells, or at least greatly reducing the duration of magic.

This is probably why the Wolf God can easily defeat the Zoroastrians who possess fire.

Their magic is basically ineffective against the Wolf God, and even if it works, it can only last for a short time.

Opening the domain required consuming dozens of additional divine powers. In other words, this was the only way Thomas knew to open the domain.

Maintaining it also requires divine power. Thomas cannot estimate it accurately, but he estimates that it takes about ten minutes for a ball of divine power to last.

As for closing... as long as you don't provide divine power, it will disappear naturally.

For Thomas, he cannot turn it on and off at will, otherwise he will lose a lot.

The Wolf God's state is a complete waste.

Now looking back, compared with those myths and legends, I am afraid that this kind of domain ability is a standard feature of gods.

It is precisely because of this that the gods are not afraid of magic. No matter how many layers of the magic network you have touched, you are still nothing compared to the gods.

This is why, in legends, those who dared to challenge the gods were almost always warriors, not spellcasters. Battles between gods were often fought with swords and guns, and rarely with magic.

Because magic is actually useless.

In addition, when the field is opened, or when there is inexhaustible divine power in the body.

Exceeding the physical requirements of divine power will significantly enhance all aspects of the body in a short period of time. Strength, speed, agility, and other aspects will be improved across the board. It is comparable to being blessed with a large number of spells.

Of course, there is a price to pay, which is that one's own magic will also be destroyed by one's own domain.

And from Thomas's personal point of view, magic is more useful than domain.

It takes dozens of divine powers to open a domain, but even if you cast ten spells, it only consumes ten.

Of course, on the other hand, if your enemy is a god, then you have to go to the domain and don't rely on magic.

For more, you can only explore and research on your own.

The power of the domain is actually just a layer of window paper. You will understand it once you break it.

But if he didn't expose it, Thomas probably would never have thought that he could play like this until he died.

At least not at this stage.

After all, if Thomas had extra divine power, he would use it to upgrade his magic level and access a higher level of magic network.

Thomas closed his eyes and looked inward again.

The damaged divine nature was surrounded by dense divine power, so much that it was impossible to count it at once, and it could even trigger claustrophobia in humans!

Even with a rough estimate, it’s at least over ten thousand!

This is the reward for sacrificing a god - even if the one sacrificed is only a lowly quasi-god.

This is a really great gain.

Even if I lose a poisonous night pearl, it's worth it!

The poisonous night-shining pearl had been corroded by the wolf god's gastric juice and had become waste and was completely damaged.

But this deal is not a loss!

Thomas knew that as long as he wanted, he could immediately access the seventh layer of the magic network.

According to Thomas' original plan, it might take him five to ten years to accumulate enough divine power to contact the seventh layer of the magic network.

Of course, there was no rush. After all, the Knights' headquarters had burned down, and some of his belongings had also been destroyed in the flames, including the potions he had made.

That potion can increase the efficiency of meditation, so it cannot be wasted.

After a period of time and making new potions, consider contacting the seventh layer of the magic network.

the last one……

Thomas turned his attention to the damaged godhead.

There should have been only fire and sacrificial knives here.

But now, there is one more thing.

a mirror.

Yes, it was not until he noticed the mirror that Thomas figured out what he had felt was missing.

There is a mirror hanging on the wolf god's chest.

It wasn't a glass mirror, but a more classical bronze mirror. Humans in Europe and Asia had mastered the technique of polishing metal mirrors since ancient times. Compared to Orientals, Europeans even preferred to polish mirrors with gold and silver.

But after being defeated in the end, there was no mirror on the Wolf God.

It's unclear where the mirror went, perhaps lost during the battle. But after everything was over, Thomas discovered that the mirror had actually been placed inside his broken godhead.

The fire, the sacrificial knife, and the bronze mirror stood side by side. It was obvious that they were the same type of things.

Thomas had a general understanding of how to use the sacrificial knife, and the same with fire.

But what is this bronze mirror used for?

I was busy with firefighting and other aftermath matters, and had no time to study this mirror.

Now I'm finally free.

Like the other two things, this one was beyond Thomas's control.

However, based on the experience he gained from messing with the fire, Thomas began to try to transfer a ball of divine power to the mirror.

As expected, divine power could come into contact with the mirror. As soon as a ball of divine power touched it, it instantly merged into the mirror. In an instant, the entire mirror went from illusory to solid.

Under the influence of divine power, the original mirror surface turned into emptiness.

It became like a black hole. Or, in other words, it seemed to become a door to a space-time passage.

Unfortunately, this space-time channel, like the damaged godhead, is located in a dimension that Thomas cannot reach. Even if it is opened, Thomas cannot travel through it.

This thing is out of control and cannot be summoned to a dimension that Thomas can access.

However, when Thomas focused his attention on it, he vaguely felt... there seemed to be a sound coming from this thing?

Thomas suddenly had an idea and transferred his spiritual field over.

When you are in this state of introspection, you are not actually using your own spiritual field.

Because the "seeing" in this state is not the vision of the naked eye, it can only be called a wonderful "perception".

But the spiritual field, as Thomas's extraordinary ability, exists stably. As long as he focuses his attention on it, it can exist stably.

The author says:

Author's words: I have to go out again tomorrow, so just in case, I will update one section in advance.

Thanks to fellow reader Ye Ye for the reward again.

Chapter 211 Harvest 2

His attention was focused on the mirror, on his ability to perceive the spiritual field.

Then he realized that the other side of the mirror led to an outdoor space.

The ground was covered in dirt, overgrown with weeds. An elderly man in ascetic attire was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed and praying to himself... or rather, to a certain point in time and space.

It seems like I sensed an altar somewhere?

And why does this prayer sound so familiar?

It took Thomas a few seconds to realize that he hadn't made up the prayer himself.

These prayers were written by Thomas based on the random stuff he saw on the Internet in his previous life, combined with some Catholic customs and norms. They are prayers and praises to the "chief of the three wise men from the East."

It is complete nonsense in itself, so it can be guaranteed that it is basically the only one of its kind in this era.

It was recorded in the "Third Volume of the Nameless Book", and then sent to Rome to be spread secretly.

It turns out that I really entered my own altar?

This ascetic monk must be praying to himself.

As for what to pray for...the spiritual field cannot transmit sound, but Thomas can read lips.

But even without lip reading, you can still make a pretty good guess.

This person should be an old ascetic monk who has probably used up all his magic.

Thomas's magic wasn't worth much, as his divine power could be automatically restored. Each time he cast a spell, he only consumed a ball of divine power.

There is also a spiritual field that can amplify the magic hundreds of times and release it to everyone.

But for ordinary people, the power accumulated through decades of meditation and hard work can often only be used once.

Once it is exhausted, you must start accumulating again if you want to cast the spell again.

Starting to accumulate again in the second round seems to have some advantages, such as being more clear about how to break through bottlenecks, how to improve efficiency, etc., but the disadvantages are greater than the advantages.

Because people age.

Once one ages, one's energy and physical fitness decline, and it is no longer possible to practice as arduously for days as in youth. Even if one is enthusiastic, the body cannot bear it.

Therefore, in most cases, once a spellcaster has exhausted his magic, he will probably never have the chance to regain his previous spellcasting ability through meditation and practice again in his lifetime.

But, if you want to say that a person is willing to accept this...how is that possible?

What spellcaster wouldn't want to restore their spellcasting ability? Wouldn't they want to be able to cast spells infinitely?

From this point of view, Zoroastrianism could easily dominate the world. No spellcaster could resist the temptation of the holy fire.

As Thomas was feeling emotional, he suddenly realized that this ascetic monk looked a little familiar.

After searching in my mind, I suddenly remembered, isn’t this the abbot of the monastery on the outskirts of Rome?

Thomas had once donated two hundred florins to him!

He still remembered that this dean, although already over seventy years old, had once been a high-level spellcaster capable of accessing the seventh layer of the magic web. Later, he was chosen by Thomas as the messenger to spread the "Third Volume of the Nameless Book."

Thomas's mind moved. He turned the fire, trying to project its power.

Although the fire and the mirror are side by side, there is no connection between them.
