The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 311 Heroic Spirit
Richard looked at the dwarf statue in the hall. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be Bruno, the king of the dwarves mentioned by the high priest.

But Richard was a little curious as to why the high priest wanted to conceal the truth.

"Why do you want to hide the truth?"

The high priest turned slowly: “Because Bruno’s soul has not yet been completely corrupted.

In the final battle, the evil demon Bruno almost crossed the line and became a powerful being at the level of the Lord of the World.

If he were to become the master of the world, the entire race of the demon dwarves would be devoured by him and become part of the evil demon.

But at the last moment before he was about to be promoted, Bruno, the king of the dwarves, separated from Bruno the demon.

A broken soul was not enough to be promoted to the Lord of the World, so he failed.

We took this opportunity to banish it to the bottom of the mountains."

Richard nodded and then asked, "According to what you said, the evil demon you mentioned should have the ability to corrode the mind and deform the flesh and blood.

And the upper limit of this ability is very high. If the conditions are right, this ability can even create the master of the world.

And I noticed that you said exile, not kill, which means that the evil demon Bruno still exists.

Based on the mutants I saw on the road and the caves that spread deep into the mountains, you should have exiled Bruno into the interior of this mountain.

And most of them have lived well over the years, and can even turn your warriors into Aberrations.

To be honest, this situation is beyond my ability.

I can’t think of anything I can do for you.”

The high priest closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking:

“I saw in divination that the master will fight side by side with the demon dwarves and completely kill the evil demon Bruno at the bottom of the mountains.

The Master will purify the evil Bruno with fire."

Richard frowned slightly.

"With us? My Salamanders may be powerful, but the evil demon Bruno you mentioned has already stepped half a foot into the threshold of the Lord of the World.

Can we kill such a person?"

The high priest opened his eyes and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"I don't know either, but this is the result of the divination. I almost lost my life for this result.

Moreover, the evil demon Bruno is not as strong as you think, Master. In the past five thousand years, he has been killed by us several times.

But after each kill, he would be resurrected at the bottom of the mountains, over and over again until his soul completely collapsed.

But my people can no longer wait until that time."

Richard sighed. Divination is such a bastard. It only gives the results but not the process.

He turned the subject to himself.

"Let's change the subject. When are you going to lift my curse? Your straw man will be ineffective after today."

"If the Master wishes, we can do it now."

Richard was stunned: "The Mist Cage is not a small curse, don't you need to prepare any rituals?"

The high priest smiled confidently, pointed at the statue of the King of the Magic Dwarves in the hall, and said with a smile:
"The King of the Dwarves will drive out all evil."

Richard looked at the statue carefully, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity from it.

Richard exclaimed: "The power of faith! You can use the power of faith!"

The high priest nodded, then shook his head.

"It's not me who can do it, but Bruno, the king of the dwarves, who can do it."

After that, the high priest invited Richard to the center of the hall, where he had just knelt.

Richard looked at the statue of the King of the Dwarves in front of him, and his eyes involuntarily met the statue's eyes.

In an instant, Richard saw war, death, and one praying dwarf after another in those golden eyes.

The prayers of these dwarves are the source of the dwarf king's existence.

Suddenly, a majestic demon dwarf walked out of the statue.

He had a handsome face, a beard that reached down to his toes, and jet-black hair.

His muscles were strong and solid like rocks, as if they contained enough power to shake the world.

He held a long-handled war hammer in his hand, and bright red bloodstains could be seen on the hammer.

This image is exactly the same as the image of God.

There is no doubt that this dwarf is Bruno, the king of the magic dwarves.

Bruno looked at Richard with gentle eyes, but soon, a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

A voice sounded in Richard's ears.

"Wizard, you and I are the same. I cannot remove the curse for you. But I can give you the method to remove the curse."

After saying that, he took the war hammer and smashed it hard on Richard's head.

boom!
Richard, who didn't realize what was happening, suddenly took three steps back and staggered to the ground.

He covered his head, feeling dizzy and blood trickling from the corners of his eyes.

When the witch hunting team saw this scene, the chainsaw swords in their hands roared instantly.

They surrounded Richard and looked at the high priest warily.

The high priest frowned. Bruno, the king of the dwarves, was not irritable. On the contrary, he was very kind.

There was no reason for him to hurt Richard.

Not to mention that Richard is a wizard.

Although the magic dwarves have come to this world for thousands of years, respect for wizards is still engraved in their bones.

Soon, Richard stood up and wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes.

"Disperse, I'm fine." Richard took out a bottle of alchemical potion from his pocket and dropped two drops into his eyes to relieve eye damage.

When his eye injury healed a little, Richard lowered his head and returned to his previous state.

"Excuse me, High Priest. Bruenor is a good dwarf, but his methods are a bit rough."

Bruno's blow gave Richard some new ideas on how to use the power of faith.

He also made Richard aware of the power of faith in him.

Although Richard never took the sect that Ulysses had created for him seriously, it is undeniable that as one of the gods of the gods civilization, the sect he founded is absolutely qualified.

Richard is equal in status to the King of the Dwarves.

A deity can remove a curse from a mortal, but a curse cannot be removed from a deity.

So Bruno chose to teach Richard how to use the power of faith.

The high priest bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Master. I think the curse has been lifted."

Richard shook his head: "No, but it was lifted immediately."

As he spoke, the high priest suddenly felt that Richard in front of him was extremely majestic, as if there was an invisible holy light emanating from him, which made people unable to help but kneel down at a glance.

Richard is using the power of his faith to remove the curse from himself.

After a few seconds, Richard returned to normal, with nearly half of his power of faith consumed, and the curse on him was also removed.

Moreover, he had acquired another skill without any teacher.

……

In the secret realm, Ulysses, who was leisurely basking in the sun in the holy city, suddenly stood up.

He looked at Richard's statue in disbelief, muttering to himself, "The gods are watching?! Has this kid reached that level?"

After saying that, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

In his field of vision, the power of faith wrapped around Richard's statue had now transformed into a pentagram mark.

Ulysses was very familiar with this thing; it was the holy emblem of the gods.

This shows that Richard already has a person.

However, as a veteran god, Ulysses quickly reacted to Richard's current condition.

He suddenly realized, "The status of a heroic spirit. I was shocked. I thought you had ascended to godhood without any guidance."

"What is a Heroic Spirit?"

Richard's voice suddenly rang in Ulises' ears, but Ulises did not panic.

In the church scriptures, he is Richard's subordinate god. The dialogue between the main god and the subordinate god is just an instinctive means of the gods.

"There are many kinds of divine personas, and each persona represents a level. The heroic spirit persona is the lowest level persona, and this persona often corresponds to mortals.

If you can become the Lord of the world, then your person will become a deity.

Of course, the opposite is also possible.

Did you encounter a creature with the power of faith this time? I didn't even notice that your power of faith is already enough to give birth to a personality."

"Well, I met a heroic spirit, and he taught me some applications of the power of faith."

"Don't use it carelessly. You need to learn how to apply the power of faith. I'll teach you when you come back. You don't have much power of faith, and it will be used up quickly if you use it carelessly."

"Yeah. I'll deal with my issues first."

……

Richard shifted his gaze from the statue back to his true self. After becoming a person with a personality, he learned to use the statue as his own eyes without any instruction.

He looked at the high priest: "High priest, you can gather your troops now."

The high priest bowed his head slightly and said, "Master, there is no need to worry. According to our observations over the years, the evil demon Bruno will be weakened in seven days.

After seven days, the Great Truth Wizard's seal will cut off the connection between the demon and the outside world. That will be the best time for us to kill the demon Bruno."

After hearing what the high priest said, Richard suddenly realized that he had overlooked a key point.

He pointed at the broken magic circle on the mural and asked uncertainly:

"You mean, that evil demon broke through the seal set by the Great Truth Wizard?"

The high priest did not deny it: "Indeed, according to our observation, this evil demon should have broken the seal of the Great Truth Wizard by a tiny gap.

His power seeped out from this gap, eroding Bruno."

Richard frowned, "But if the gap is not plugged, killing the evil demon Bruno is just a temporary solution. You should report this news to..."

Richard suddenly stopped talking halfway.

It seems that this group of magic dwarves has no place to report.

If it weren't for the college war this time, these magic dwarves would probably have to wait for many more years.

There are too many places in the mirror world that can be chosen as battlefields.

Moreover, a group of magic dwarves who do not even have the strength of the Lord of the World can hold off the evil demons for thousands of years and even kill them many times.

Even if I report it, I'm afraid no wizard will care.

"No, Master. Everything will change once the evil demon Bruno is slain once and for all," the high priest retorted.

"The reason why our tribe has been declining in numbers is because of this evil demon Bruno. In order to prevent this evil demon from escaping from the bottom of the mountains, we have to send a large number of warriors to the bottom of the mountains.

If we can kill him, we can save a lot of soldiers.

Then our population will go from negative growth to positive growth.”

"But what if there's a second Bruno?" Richard asked.

The high priest pointed to the statue of the King of the Dwarves behind him and said in a firm tone:
"The King of the Magic Dwarves will use his wisdom to see through all the Magic Dwarves, and any Magic Dwarves who are corrupted by evil will have nowhere to hide.

And our people will stay at the bottom of the mountains forever, until the evil demon is completely destroyed in the seal of the great wizard of truth!"
