A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

From this point of view, he really doesn't look like a real thief.

But he was not afraid, after all, this time he was a thief and had stolen goods, and the evidence was solid. He was always right no matter what he said!

"Interesting, boy, you still want to resist?" Mansreti laughed.

"So what if I resist?" Little Balbo sneered, crossed his swords, and attacked head-on.

With a wave of the water sword, a thick fog immediately rose up, spreading within a few steps around.

A normal person's vision was immediately affected, and only the blazing flames were visible.

He just didn't believe it. In the Knights Templar, everyone was a strong man like Joseph or Leonard!

Chapter 259 Wolf Head

On the other side, at the temporary headquarters.

Thomas met Radagast in the reception room, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Radagast was no longer the insignificant advisor he had been at the beginning. His ability to discern and predict the weather was invaluable to the Knights.

Not to mention, the fact that there hasn't been a single shipwreck in the past six months is the best evidence.

Now, no one in the Knights, regardless of high, middle, or low ranks, at least in public, mentioned the title "evil magician" anymore. Instead, when talking about Radagast, they all respectfully addressed him as "Master."

"Master!" Thomas stood up to welcome him, and Radagast naturally bowed and thanked him.

The two of them took their seats.

There was no one else in the reception room, and the door and walls were very thick, so there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.

There was a pocket on the coffee table in the room, but it was impossible to tell what was inside the pocket.

I just vaguely felt that the thing in this pocket might be unusual.

"Captain, why did you call me here this time?" Radagast felt the atmosphere.

"Master, I've always had a question for you," Thomas said. "Master Radagast, did you... choose me and the Knights because of some guidance?"

"what……"

"Master, this matter is very important. Please be frank. You and I have been together for such a long time, and I believe you already know what kind of person I am. To be honest, I am not good at guessing riddles!" Thomas said. "This question should be very important to you, especially."

"Yes," Radagast replied.

"A prophecy, or guidance from divination?"

"You can say that."

Thomas opened his pocket and took out the wolf god's head.

It had been nearly half a year, but the ferocious wolf head showed no trace of decay. Even its eyes were intact. It was just that the light of life had been lost in them.

Although the deep sword mark in the middle of the head was still there, it was covered by the hair and could not be seen without a close look.

"Master, is this what you are looking for?"

"This is..." Radagast widened his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"A god... an immortal body!" Thomas said. "Or rather, the Wolf God! You should have heard of him."

Radagast was in Smyrna when the Wolf God came, so he should have known about it, but he probably didn't see the Wolf God's head with his own eyes.

The head was once hung on the city wall for public display, but later it was found to be incorruptible and was collected by Thomas.

"Someone told me that it's very useful for magicians. Can you tell me what it's used for?"

"The divine body contains the essence of immortality. After removing impurities, it can be used to perform a special magical ritual!" Radagast blurted out. "It can extend life!"

He felt something was wrong when he said it, and looked at Thomas anxiously.

But Thomas obviously didn't care about this benefit.

This was normal. After all, he was only in his twenties, a complete young man. A young person wouldn't care about life expectancy. Only the elderly would care about this.

Thomas nodded.

No wonder! It is indeed very important to magicians!

No one would think that his life is too long.

This is especially true for magicians who need a lot of time to explore the mysteries of magic.

"Master, is this what your prophecy indicates?" Thomas asked.

"I think so." Radagast was delighted, stroking the immortal wolf's head.

It was obvious that Thomas's attitude meant that he wanted to give this thing to him.

Of course it’s not given away for free, it must be exchanged for something.

But, that's not important.

After all, even guessing can be guessed. Thomas wants his service.

Spending two or three years serving the Knights in exchange for decades of life is naturally a very profitable business.

"Master, can you tell me the specific content of the prophecy that guided you back then?" Thomas asked.

Radagast hesitated. "I'm sorry, Grand Master, but there are some things I can't say. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!"

“Oh, I see,” said Thomas.

I guess this is related to backlash.

Those who try to peek into fate will be retaliated by it. Thomas had experienced this firsthand when he was in Ross.

It took a lot of effort to get through it.

But Thomas was just forcing himself to take it, so it was naturally difficult. As for the magicians... there must be some easier way.

There are naturally many taboos that cannot be violated.

"In that case, what price would you like to pay for it?" Thomas asked again.

"I am willing to serve the Order for a period of time," Radagast said after careful consideration. "Three years is a reasonable price."

Three years would allow the Knights' fleet to operate without being troubled by weather factors, which was also very valuable to the Knights.

"I understand. Master, I've heard that this immortal body seems to contain something called 'element'. I wonder if you can extract it?"

"Elements?" Radagast hesitated. "Grandmaster, do you... wish to embark on that path and advance further?"

“Who wouldn’t?” said Thomas.

"You are a Christian..."

"So what?" Thomas said bluntly.

Anyway, we had a secret conversation in the room, and Thomas won’t recognize us after we go out!

Thomas had no psychological burden about this. Or rather, he never considered himself a Christian from the beginning!

The reason why I mixed in with Christianity was simply because it had more benefits.

Of course, Christians were no different. Thomas remembered the history of his past life: even though kings and lords spoke of faith and piety every day, they always had a magnificent room in their castles reserved for magicians or alchemists!

All genuine Christians are like this, let alone Thomas, who is not a genuine Christian!

"As you wish," Radagast replied, bowing.

At some point, a hint of awe had crept into his voice.

Protecting the country itself is rare, but those who can find a way beyond protecting the country... that is truly rare.

In this world, we only hear that the gods are slowly decaying and falling, but we don't see any new gods rising.

This gave monotheistic religions such as Christianity and Crescent Moon Religion the opportunity to rise.

Doesn't this explain the problem?

"Another question, Master," Thomas asked. "How did you find that cave last time?"

"It's hard to describe, but now that I think about it, there must have been some force deliberately guiding me there."

"I see!" Thomas's expression was somewhat serious.

The author says:

Author's words: I'm going out tomorrow, so I'll update one section in advance.

Chapter 260 Little Balboa 1

Do you want to go see Thor again?

Thomas thought about it for a moment and decided to go.

Go deal with the Star-Moon Sword first, and then come back to see Thor again.

Anyway, Thor couldn't do anything in his current state. On the contrary, if he could gain knowledge, it would be a profit.

The road to becoming a god is really too difficult.

I started groping from the beginning, without any clues.

Don't miss any opportunity!

Thomas didn't know why he remembered the previous invitation.

Maybe by going there, I can get the knowledge I desperately need.

Of course, just thinking about it, his mind is very clear.

He hasn't even secured his position as the commander-in-chief yet, and there are still many hidden dangers to be resolved. How could he possibly leave his base and go somewhere else?

If it was a trap, Thomas had no confidence in dealing with the gods.

The previous battle with the Wolf God explained everything.

If Thomas hadn't made any specific preparations, if it was a sudden encounter in the wild, if the other party was prepared and he wasn't...

Thomas believed that he had a high probability of losing.

He can't even defeat the Wolf God, let alone others.

Fortunately, gods have a long lifespan, so it should be no problem to delay it for a few more decades.

We'll consider this matter when the time comes.

Radagast had left, and Thomas sat alone in his room, thinking.

After making up your mind, get up and leave.

As soon as I walked out of the meeting room, I glanced at the time and it was already half dark.

It's already dinner time.

Of course, Thomas didn't have to worry about eating now, but a sudden and intense sound coming from outside caught his attention.

That was the sound of people arguing.

But this is already the headquarters of the Knights. Who is so bold as to come here and start a quarrel?

Are there quarrels among our own people?

Thomas went out and saw that the people arguing were two servants.

In this era, class distinctions are clear. As long as a person is not deliberately disguising themselves, one can generally tell their status by just looking at their clothes.

The two people who were quarreling were two servants.

The reason they were making a fuss was that they wanted to come in but were stopped by the guards on duty.

The two guards were both very loyal to their duties. They did not answer or refute, but simply blocked the way with their weapons and did not allow the two to enter.

The two servants swore, cursed and threatened.

Although the other party had a bit of a dialect accent and was quite far away, Thomas had good hearing and recognized that they were speaking Italian!

"...Can your Knight Order afford it?"

"...Even if your Grand Master is a cardinal, you must know the consequences..."

This kind of tone is not something that ordinary people would say.
