A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Other gods certainly don't use such inefficient and clumsy methods. Therefore, as a "god", I can't compare with them at all.

If people knew the truth, they would probably laugh their heads off.

But no matter what, he now barely meets the standards of a "god".

Instead of being just a paper tiger with empty status as before.

Chapter 213 Magic Node 1

Asia Minor, the headquarters of the Sword of Stars and Moon.

Ferdinand came in from outside, wearing a simple linen robe.

Up ahead, his young followers were already waiting there.

The distance between the bathing, incense, and changing area and the magic node was several dozen meters. So after cleaning the body every day, it took a while to enter the magic node.

This amount of time was just enough for Ferdinand to meet his entourage.

Magic nodes and divine revelations are different.

The Divine Revelation Technique is a spell. Once it is cast, the effect is constant. Even if it is cast a hundred times, the effect will remain the same.

The magic energy in the magic nodes is becoming increasingly thinner.

The magic power accumulated by nature for thousands and tens of thousands of years can be used up in just a few days if it is not restrained.

Unfortunately for Ferdinand, the magic power in the magic node was already quite thin.

This also required him to spend many days to be promoted to Protector of the Country.

Although he was focused, he still continued to learn about what was happening in the outside world through his followers during this period.

"Sir!" The attendant saw Ferdinand and sensed the change in his aura. "Did you succeed?"

"Not yet." Ferdinand smiled. "Right now, by common standards, I'm only halfway to becoming a protector of the nation. It might take another ten days or so."

His body has established a connection with the magic network... He continuously receives magic power from the magic network and transforms himself.

But being a half-step protector of the country was different from being a protector of the country. His connection to the magic network was still too fragile.

Although he was able to guide the power of the magic network to transform himself, it did not touch the root and could not strengthen his extraordinary abilities.

"Has there been any news from outside during this period of time? Are the Knights of Rhodes Island still there?" He just asked this question casually, but in fact, he did not think that the Knights of Rhodes Island would be finished so soon.

Even the Wolf God couldn't kill the entire Knights of Rhodes Island in one go.

After all, the Wolf God's spirit is very fragile. If the battle is prolonged or intensified, it will fall into an irrational frenzy. It will not distinguish between friend and foe, let alone execute any battle plan.

Unless you are stubborn and fight to the death, the Wolf God's lethality is actually not as strong as his deterrent power.

Otherwise...the Star-Moon Sword probably wouldn't be what it is now.

Apart from anything else, the holy land has been recovered with certainty.

No other help is needed, the Wolf God alone is enough!

"That... sir, Lord Wolf God... has failed."

"What? Failed? Lost your mind and are trapped?" Ferdinand asked.

As long as one loses rationality, he will become a wild beast and will be easily led into a trap - this is in line with Ferdinand's prediction.

"Well, sir," the young attendant stammered. "I'm afraid the Wolf God has been martyred in battle."

"What?" Ferdinand's surprise was no fake. "What happened?"

"Lord Wolf and his entourage arrived in Rhodes Island. Led by our spies, Lord Wolf entered the city alone. And then... he was killed in the city. It is said that Grand Master Thomas of the Knights personally beheaded him and hung it outside the city gate for public display."

"What exactly happened?"

"I don't know. The Knights immediately mobilized in full force, searching the entire island. As outsiders, the other distinguished priests and emissaries were all... arrested by the Knights. Only the spy survived... and it was he who brought back this news!"

"Impossible!" Ferdinand said flatly.

He knew very well that the Knights relied only on the "Flag of Infinite Spellcasting", which meant that they had infinite magic.

It's called "infinite," but it's not really infinite. There's definitely a limit to the number of spells you can cast each day. It's just that the magical item can automatically restore itself without any cost.

What the Wolf God fears least is magic!

"What's going on now?" After a few seconds, Ferdinand calmed down.

"It's been a commotion here," the attendant said. "After the news of the Wolf God's death, I saw that many of the great elders were in a state of panic... Also, there are rumors that the news has spread throughout the Mediterranean. It's relatively quiet in the Western Mediterranean, with little awareness of the situation. But in the Holy Land, Christians are said to be in high spirits, celebrating with three days of mass. Furthermore, there's news that Rome has decided to appoint Thomas as the new cardinal, as a reward for his merits!"

"Impossible... Impossible..." Ferdinand hesitated. "How could he do that? How could he kill that..."

I wanted to say the word "monster", but in the end I didn't say it.

After all, this is the headquarters of the Star-Moon Sword.

"How interesting...I'm afraid Rome doesn't have nothing either!" He murmured after a long time.

"Anything else?"

"Others... on the sect side, several great elders are said to be heading out to contact the Seljuk Sultan and the King of Kings, hoping to end the war as quickly as possible..."

"That's useless," Ferdinand said. "Hympathy has already arisen, and mutual trust has vanished. Reaching an enforceable peace treaty won't be easy. And on this matter... the Order has done a terrible job."

The Wolf God's power was so terrifying, yet the cult deliberately downplayed his reputation. Or rather, people outside the cult underestimated the Wolf God's power.

In other words, for most people, this incident can be understood as "a man died in battle to protect his country."

Although the death of a soldier defending his country is a serious matter, it is not something that would make the ruler of a great country unhappy.

But... for the time being, he couldn't do anything.

In other words, nothing else is as important as him becoming the protector of the country!

"What do you think about this matter?" Since time was running out, Ferdinand could only ask this question.

"The elders said... this means Thomas might have another artifact!"

Thomas had already produced two artifacts—both the Bloody Cross Banner and the entire group of giant golems were qualified as "artifacts"—so if he had a third artifact...

Seems to make sense?

"The third artifact..."

"Another theory is that Rome may have sent a large number of experts! The Wolf God's actions were too arrogant, giving Thomas ample time to call for help," the attendant said. "After all, the Christian world cannot be underestimated!"

This is also possible.

In the past, the Wolf God dealt with the Zoroastrianism, which was only left with its last breath. Zoroastrianism and Christianity are two different things!

"I understand," Ferdinand said.

While they were talking, the deacons of the sect who were responsible for guiding the way had already arrived, and there was no more time to talk.

"Continue to inquire about the news." Ferdinand said.

"As you command, my lord!"

Ferdinand left his entourage and turned to follow the guides.

Becoming a protector of the country... this is the only thing he thinks about now.

Once you become a protector of the country... then things will be completely different.

He will become an invaluable figure to any party, and will no longer be reduced to a pawn, nor will he need to sell himself in exchange for an opportunity!

And his desire... will also become a reality!

Chapter 214 Magic Node 2

This magic node is a relatively special place.

It is an underground spring.

It is estimated that in the past this place must have been a small underground cave with a spring inside. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, and it did not dry up during the dry season. It became a place for shepherds and travelers to get water.

Hundreds and thousands of years have passed since it was discovered by humans, and no one has ever thought there was anything wrong.

After all, there are many such springs all over the world.

Although precious, it is not rare in the world.

But one day, for some unknown reason, someone had his eyes on this spring.

Maybe someone dug the spring downwards to increase the water output.

It is also possible that someone accidentally dropped valuables into the spring, forcing them to jump in and search for them.

In short, the old natural pattern was broken, resulting in the exposure of a node connecting the magic network and the material world.

Having been undisturbed for thousands and tens of thousands of years, this node area has accumulated a lot of powerful magic power.

With the guidance and help of everyone, Ferdinand went down into the spring.

A hose is connected to the top to ensure breathing, while your body is immersed in the deep spring water.

Just when he had stabilized at the right height, suddenly, there was a loud bang in his mind.

It felt like the crisp sound of a broken bone.

Then, his body made a series of sounds like popping beans, his muscles were compressing, and his bones were trembling.

It wasn't that he was attacked, but the power of the magic net finally broke through a peak and opened up a whole new world!

The barrier between his body and the magic net was finally broken, and magic power surged into his body with an unprecedented high intensity flow.

When humans are halfway to protecting the country, they will be blessed by the magic network.

But compared with Protecting the Country, it's like heaven and earth!

At this moment, his body had not yet fully adapted to the intensity of the magic power that suddenly surged into his body, causing his muscles to twitch uncontrollably, as if he were being electrocuted.

Ferdinand felt his body was out of control, but his heart was filled with joy.

Finally... finally...

He took the step he had always dreamed of!

For this, he sacrificed his family, his oath, his friends, his comrades, and his faith...

Everything was traded away in exchange for this opportunity to become a protector of the country!

Protector of the country, demigod on earth, one man against a thousand, legendary hero...

Countless glorious titles and laurels, all of which bring great power to oneself.

He felt something hot flowing out from the corner of his eyes, and then disappeared into the surrounding spring water.

The power of the magic net is no longer something invisible and intangible, but is deeply bound to him.

He immersed himself in this feeling, and slowly felt that the connection between himself and the magic network was gradually becoming complete.

The body that had begun to age was once again full of energy.

Gradually becoming more fulfilling.

He didn't know why, but he inexplicably thought of his adoptive parents.

According to the information he had previously learned, under the strong demands of the church, the entire family's titles were stripped and their territories were taken back. Family members either died in the Inquisition or lost everything and became penniless pariahs or even slaves.

The house where he grew up was said to have been burned down by the Inquisition!

He didn't see it all, but he believed it must have been very tragic.

As a former member of the Knights Templar, he knew very well what kind of people those inquisitors were.

But he doesn't regret his choice at all!

On the contrary, there is only joy in my heart.

Ferdinand held out his hand.

In his hand, a golden balance scale appeared.
