Chapter 740: Developing a New Divine Technique
As a mage, how do you develop a new magic?
The maid sat behind the table and thought about it seriously, if she was a priest, then it was also her job to develop divine arts, and now many general divine techniques were not developed by the gods themselves, but by the priests themselves.
When the clergy create a divine art, they will present it to the god they believe in, and this divine magic will generally become the exclusive divine art of that deity, but some will become the capital that the god uses to trade, and then become a general divine art.
The maid herself is a mage, and she is not a believer in anyone, she has not studied divine power and divinity, so how can she develop a new divine art that is also suitable for the 'commercial' priesthood?
This magic is to deal with the troubles that will arise later, so it must have to do with 'storage' or 'transportation', and the structure and principle must not be too cumbersome, otherwise Latinea's brain will not be able to understand it.
She couldn't use the mind of designing spells to create this new magic, because the principles of magic were diametrically opposed to spells.
Divine art depends on the gift of the gods, and the clergy are able to develop new ones because they understand them well enough, just as only powerful mages can create new spells, and only powerful clergy closer to the 'god's side' can develop new ones.
The root of divine magic is that the priest obtains a part of the power of the gods through long prayers or deep beliefs, and all divine arts come from the gods, and the number of domains that the gods have determines how many types of divine arts their priests can choose.
But it is not only the believers of the gods who can obtain the power of divine magic, such as 'druids', they believe in nature, and the power they have is given by nature, and the power they possess is also collectively referred to as 'divine magic'.
And if they believe in the Holy Light, or the God of Light or Justice, then their clergy also have a power called 'Holy Light', which is a special power from the source of order that does not overlap with divine magic.
The Light represents goodness and order, and is capable of destroying all evil and chaos, but Latinia is the goddess of wealth and does not have this power.
A large pile of white paper was spread out on the table in front of the maid, but she had no clue.
The structure of magic is completely different from that of magic, and the principle is even more diametrically opposite, and as a mage, even if she wants to develop a new magic technique, she has no clue.
"What about storage or transportation...... the maid pouted, for some reason, there was a wave churning in her heart, urging her, constantly pushing her mind in the direction of 'online shopping'.
As a woman, after trying online shopping, it is impossible to refuse this kind of thing, although if she really wants to do it, she still needs to improve the online shopping platform, and there is no need to worry about where the platform is built.
Of course, the behavior related to business should be related to the Wealth Church, maybe she can try to design an online shopping platform now, try to go online.
She needs to determine a direction, is it going to be 'stored' or 'transported' directly?
If you choose to 'store', you won't be able to use Latinia's kingdom, and the merchant won't be able to fully trust the goddess of wealth.
The priest of the Church of Fortune needs to open a temporary storage space for the merchants to store their goods, but this temporary space obviously cannot be too large......
If she was able to develop this magic technique, it would mean that the merchants would be able to travel lightly, and if they encountered monsters or bandits on the road, they would be able to choose to fight or flee on their own, and they would also be able to climb certain 'shortcuts', which did not seem to be a good thing.
There are not many traitors among the merchants, but they are by no means few, and they are able to take risks for the sake of profit.
If they can get past the pass, then they will definitely not choose to pass the pass, which is not a good choice given the reputation of the merchant as a whole.
Unless other territories learn from their Principality of Sorrowful Winds, they need to pass through the pass to be able to sell goods in their territory, but other territories don't have the mobility and efficiency they have, so she can't develop this kind of magic.
Now there is only one option left - 'transport', or rather, the delivery of goods through faith networks!
However, there is also a very serious problem, if you need to use the faith network to transmit things, you need to consume a lot of divine power, and the power of faith that the merchants give back cannot fill these gaps, and the income cannot keep up with the expenditure, and everyone knows how to choose.
However, this is only for the gods to carry out this series of rough operations through crude divine power, and if you use divine magic, you may be able to reduce the cost of divine power.
But if she wanted to do so, the maid would need to mark every church of fortune on the continent before she could teleport accurately.
After deciding on the idea, the maid began to write on the draft calculations.
"First of all, this magic requires the use of a 'map' provided by the faith network to identify the waypoint. ”
The maid does not intend to do it overnight, because she is not a priest in nature, she is a mage, and designing this magic requires the thinking of a mage and a huge amount of calculation, but the final result needs to be constantly streamlined, otherwise Latinia will not understand it at all, and naturally she will not be able to 'develop' this magic art.
Divine power is a kind of power that can distort reality, but it seems that it also needs to pay attention to the 'law of conservation of mass and energy', but this power is very powerful, and it belongs to a different branch from magic, and it can barely be regarded as a superior power of magic.
Mages use their wits to manipulate magic and are able to wield reality-altering powers, while the gods are even more brutal and can do all this for themselves 'think'.
They don't even need to learn spells, because they can do it with their own divine powers, and even more powerful.
Divine magic is the power given to mortals, but that first requires the gods themselves to be able to understand how the magic is stimulated, and what the results are after activation.
You don't need to think about the process, you just need to know the 'cause' and 'effect' to be able to change the reality - this is the 'magic technique'!
"Secondly, the clergy can directly cross this part of the request to the gods and mobilize the power of the faith network!"
Only in this way can it be called 'divine magic', and if it is just asking the gods to intervene, then what is the difference between it and [miracle magic].
Send a request to the 'server', the server itself handles it, marks the selected location, and then it's time to move on to the next step.
The maid cleared her mind, and the next step was to do it in one go.
"Thirdly, divine magic can 'teleport' things, which is the most fundamental point!"
"Fourth, before teleporting, the Church of Fortune in the teleportation place will send a message to the Church of Fortune in the receiving place, and the merchants on both sides need to pray at the same time to make up for the consumption incurred during the teleportation. ”
"Fifth, the preparation steps must not be missing, but the teleportation time only needs to be a moment, otherwise it will be difficult to control. ”
Finally, when the teleportation is complete, the merchant needs to perform a ten-minute prayer to the goddess of wealth in addition to the fee. ”
The maid doesn't know how much divine power is required to teleport, but if it is just 'teleporting' instead of passing the goods through the kingdom of God, the amount of divine power required should be much reduced.
In particular, if this behavior meets the criteria of 'business conduct', not only will it consume less divine power, but it will even be able to provide Latinia with enough faith power.
"Okay, that's all for the outline, next, you need to do the math......"
The maid stretched, then picked up the pen again and wrote at the desk.
