Chapter 461: The Conspiracy of the Gods
On the continent of Faerun, due to the popularity of faith, almost all users of divine arts (including priests, paladins, druids, and rangers) are serving a god. It is precisely because of this that few people know the existence of the power of the roots. After all, it's easier for the gods to receive their gifts, and they don't have to spend so much effort on research.
But Henry had read an old book and learned that in antiquity, when the gods were beginning to spread their teachings, there was a small group of people who did not believe in a particular god, but wholeheartedly believed in something called a "sacred root." These guys, like normal priests, have access to true magic and supernatural undead abilities.
In his view, the so-called "divine roots" are the fundamental forces that exist in the universe, including good and evil, order and chaos, and of course, neutrality. As long as someone can sense one of them and stand firm in their position, they can be rewarded with these powers, and this is where the godless priest comes from.
However, due to the extremely high requirements of this kind of priest for personal qualities, with the advent of the age of the gods, they were gradually eliminated and forgotten, so that many people now think that in order to obtain the power to perform divine magic, it is necessary to serve a certain god devoutly. It can be said that this notion has even affected the druids, and the pure and primitive sects are dying out, replaced by new druidic sects that believe in the gods of nature.
Henry felt that if he hadn't appeared out of thin air, I was afraid that the original druids in this world would have perished. This may be what the gods want, completely monopolizing all beliefs in the main plane, leaving all mortals without a choice. This is evident from the establishment of the Wall of the Unbelievers.
Back in the time of Mirko, the god of death. They are plotting to use all kinds of means to force mortals to find an object of faith. Otherwise, they will be nailed to the top and suffer for thousands of years. Then the loss of consciousness slowly dissipates. It has to be said that this outright intimidation is quite useful, and many shallow believers and false believers were born after this. There is no way, if you don't believe in God, you will be taken to paste the wall, so many people have to find a random god general to deal with first.
But there are no absolutes, in addition to the above methods, there is another way to obtain divine magic, and that is to steal. That's right, the profession is blasphemy. With a brilliant mind and excellent perception. Not only can they steal the priest's divine magic, but they can also steal spells, and the most powerful of them all, the Blasphemous Priests, can even steal spell-like abilities.
Of course, since it is stealing, you must be prepared to be caught. Blasphemy priests are notorious, whether they are gods of the good or evil camps, or professionals such as mages, warlocks, druids, and rangers, who will immediately draw their weapons and attack when they find them.
No one likes to have a thief around them, especially if that thief has been stealing his own spells, and in this regard, whether it is a celestial creature of good order. It's all the same with the chaotic evil abyss demons. Think about it, you're in the heat of battle and you're about to unleash a protective spell. But I suddenly found out that this spell was stolen, and in this case, I'm afraid that no matter who else it is, I can't help but want to kill.
The group sat down on the ground and rested for a while, then they got up and searched the city founded by the undead to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net, and if there were any loot. Henry took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quietly opened the system to check the harvest.

No change in spell slots
There is no change in the magic bit
Juggernaut Special Skill Qi Slash Quantity: 4
————————————————————
From entering the sewers until now, he has gained a total of more than 1.2 million experience points, of which 500,000 are allocated to the Juggernaut profession, and the rest is divided equally between mages and druids. Since the two main classes have entered the accumulation, they have not obtained new spell slots, but the improvement of the Juggernaut class has once again given them a chance to use the Qi Lifting Slash.
Just as Henry was contemplating whether to try out this particular technique, Ammon in the distance held up a pair of gloves and a piece of leather armor stained with rotten flesh and shouted, "Look! I found two magic items! ”
As a thief, she has an unusually sharp instinct for treasures, and can always find those valuable things before anyone else.
"Oh, damn it, you can pick up something so disgusting." Sheena pinched her nose and complained.
Ammon deliberately shook the meat scraps on his leather armor, smiled playfully and said, "Hey! Don't say that, it's a piece of magic leather armor that we certainly won't wear, but we can sell it to others. ”
Uncle Kaidon took one look at it and asked half-jokingly, "Aren't you also a mage, why don't you clean it up with a "magic trick"?" I don't think anyone would buy it in the way it is now. ”
"I'm sorry, but my spellcasting kit, like Yao En, was inexplicably lost during the teleportation process." As he spoke, Aimeng glared hatefully at the dwarf who was rummaging through the ground for valuable items. You know, she hasn't learned how to cast spells yet, so once she runs out of spell materials, she can't cast any more magic.
"Well, it's all my fault. But I've been punished now, and I don't see that I can't cast spells now, so I can only make a cameo appearance as this damn crossbowman. As he spoke, Yao En raised his head and showed a sad face. As an illusionist and thief, he immediately becomes vulnerable once he loses his ability to cast spells, so he doesn't look very good in these battles.
Henry pinched his nose and performed a magic trick, cleaned up the minced flesh and dirt, and then identified them one by one. The glove is the agility glove, which can instantly increase the wearer's agility attribute to eighteen, which is the limit of human beings. As for leather armor, it's a rather disgusting piece of armor.

Ghoul Skin:
A clever thief, Damien. A knife, always try to profit from the enemy's property, regardless of the situation. After fighting several ghouls and killing two of his companions, Damien decided to seek revenge later. He skinned one of the undead monsters and gave it to a halfling protector who was skilled in making zuò magic leather armor. When the armor is complete, it can defend against physical attacks and paralysis. Maybe not a great thing, but it's practical.
Equipment Capabilities:
Ghoul skins have extra resistance against death-type spells.

"Damn! This guy is such a pervert that he actually wears ghoul skin on his body. Ammon said with a look of disgust. She now regretted picking this thing out of the pile of corpses.
Without hesitation, Henry threw the leather armor directly into the dimensional bag, and then threw the agile glove to Uncle Cadon. "Yes, I think this thing will do you the most."
Kaidong caught the gloves and asked in surprise, "For me?" But I already have the Smash Gauntlet."
"Of course, this is a pair of agile gloves, which are most effective for old arms and legs like yours. As for those gloves, give them to Sally Love. Hyon replied in a half-joking tone.
There was probably no one in the team who was better suited to this outfit than this young inquisitor. After all, with the power of divinity, Ammon may have already surpassed the limits of mortals. Sheena can't wear any gloves and bracers as a Juggernaut, and Yao En must be quite agile as a dwarf, and only Kaidon, who is already aging, can exert the greatest effect.
After changing into agile gloves, Kaidong tried to swing his weapon a few times, and sure enough, he found that his movements were much more agile than before, like a young man in his early twenties. He smiled and muttered, "Magic is really a magical power, it can give an old man a new life. ”
"I'd better take it easy, it just strengthens the coordination of the body, and it doesn't really make the bones and muscles younger, and it's easy to hurt yourself if you move too much." Henry reminded him at the right time.
Kaidong nodded slightly. "Of course, I understand that. Even now it looks pretty good, at least these evil demons can have a good taste of the holy sword. ”
Seeing the uncle's hot and boiling appearance, Henry couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. It seems that he will always be a self-centered person, and qualities like justice, kindness, and sacrifice have nothing to do with him. Perhaps this is the after-effect of receiving a materialist education, especially when moral restraint is lost.
As his status grew higher and his power grew, Henry could clearly sense that he was getting bolder. In the past, I would never even dare to think about such a thing as killing gods, but now I not only dare to think about it, but I will do it immediately. As for the law and morality and the like, there is a fundamental attitude of indifference, what is it, can it be eaten?
It can be said that his mind is unable to withstand the rapid improvement of strength in a certain way, which leads to the emergence of the current situation. Normally, a strong professional has to go through countless years, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of years, and all kinds of experiences make their minds mature day by day, and they will not be shaken by a little thing.
But Henry is completely different, it only took him more than half a year to go from a dozen to a legend, although the two lives are almost forty years old, but they can't play the slightest role in the face of this huge power. Ambition and desire are infinitely magnified here, because there are so few forces that can be restrained.
"Perhaps, when the whole of Am's adventure is over, he should go back to see his children, and the family relationship should be able to alleviate this out-of-control state a little." Henry thought to himself. (To be continued......)
