This is just too strange.
It’s like a primary school student who has just learned addition and subtraction being called to participate in a high school math competition, utterly absurd.
"But, why is it you guys... we are the ones dealing with such a serious matter?" Gauss was still a bit puzzled.
Involving gods is no trivial matter.
He didn’t believe that with the mysterious backgrounds of the three, they couldn’t reach out to a higher-level professional.
If a master tier professional or even more powerful beings were to handle it, wouldn’t it be more sure-fire?
"It has to be us." Nancy shook her head, she understood Gauss’s thinking well.
But...
"Sometimes it’s not the most powerful people who are the best choice, especially when nothing has begun to brew yet."
"Stronger power only makes one more conspicuous, and in the eyes of those skilled in prophecy and perception, it would be like throwing a huge stone into a calm lake, with ripples spreading instantly far and wide."
"At that time, not only will purification not be completed, but it might also draw the attention of an evil god, having the opposite effect."
"Moreover, don’t underestimate us, the three of us each have our own skills, and we are already the most suitable executors for this purification after meticulous selection."
After hearing the explanation, Gauss understood.
As for why the dwarf Sorin selected and invited him to join the team, it was probably his mysterious intuition at play, having sensed in advance that his strength was extraordinary? Helping with the task.
He exchanged glances with Aaliyah and Serdur, then nodded.
"Then let’s continue."
"Great! I knew I didn’t misjudge you." Sorin grinned, and after being honest, he seemed to lighten up quite a bit.
After resting and packing up the substantial loot from the ground, the group continued deeper into the passage.
"Gauss, you don’t need to worry too much, divine power is indeed strong, but it’s not that simple for them to intervene in the primary material world, especially for evil gods like Radug, where rules bind them."
"They can only rely more on spreading doctrine, tempting others into corruption, and granting power to followers to exert influence, but they are also limited in themselves. As for avatars, our little movements here absolutely cannot summon them." The usually silent Elton seemed to sense a bit of Gauss’s hesitation, and comforted him.
Sorin also nodded vigorously.
"That’s right, if gods could descend easily, this world would have been in chaos long ago."
"For this kind of node, many actually exist in the world, with many of them possibly never being activated."
As they delved deeper into the passage, the surroundings turned dark again.
Why does his Light Spell seem much brighter than mine?
While walking, Nancy also compared the Light Spell cast by Gauss with her own, filled with confusion.
Not to mention this is just a common trick that many apprentices can use simply and effortlessly, and after reaching a certain level of proficiency, there’s essentially no gap in the following stages.
Even if there is a gap, shouldn’t it be that as a Level 5 Mage, her usage should have better effects?
Really strange... but she didn’t rashly ask at that moment.
After all, she and Gauss were only temporarily teamed up, not long-term fixed partners. Asking about the mastery of magic carelessly might not matter at the apprentice level, where it’s just a few tricks back and forth, but in professional tiers, this is a taboo that needs attention.
Skills determine the strength of a professional.
If those with ill intentions learn all the skills and abilities currently possessed, they could set traps specifically, greatly increasing the risk.
"Tap tap tap," the quiet footsteps echoed in the passage.
After being attacked by a magical construct
Gauss thought there would be further obstacles on the way.
The other teammates thought so too, everyone was very alert, ready for attacks from all directions.
But unexpectedly, they reached the end safely and sound.
Gauss raised his glowing Wind Chaser, sweeping the light over the rock wall at the end.
On the rock wall, there was a huge, intricately engraved outline of a circular arch. The surface was covered with a thick, slowly wriggling dark red fungus, as if it were alive.
