I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 62 Divinity (2)

"Damn you wizards, you're all the same, so despicable and treacherous." The voice of Methuselah, the god of tides and sea monsters, grew even more sinister from the depths of the sky.

Obviously, it's not a pleasant feeling to have your thoughts guessed.

"This is the power of knowledge, Mr. God." Harlin smiled slightly, placed his right hand on his left shoulder, and leaned forward.

"Without knowledge, I would not know the use of this trident, nor would I be able to reach this deal with you. Just as some antique dealers in the mortal world can always find treasures in what others see as junk, while to those without discernment, junk will always remain junk. Therefore, knowledge is wealth."

Mathers remained silent. "I don't want to argue with you wizards about this. What do you want from me?"

"It's not about what I can gain, but what you can give me," Harlin said. "Divinity, divine fire, divine office, divinity, and divine power represent the five fundamental sources of divine power. Divinity is the cornerstone of your existence, and I don't think you would split it. Divinity is useless to us; without the power of the other four gods, having a divine office is meaningless. Moreover, divine office is also of great significance to you, so the reward you can give us is divine fire, divinity, and divine power."

"The divine fire cannot be given to you," Mathers refused.

"Without faith, even if we give you divine fire, it will be of no use."

"Then let's go with divinity," Harlin said, seemingly having anticipated this.

"Very well, a wisp of divinity," said Mathers.

"One strand is not enough, I need five strands of divinity," Harlin said.

"What a ridiculous demand! And you really dare to ask for so much of my divinity? Aren't you afraid of being assimilated by me, wizard?" Mathers said meaningfully.

Divinity is the quality of a god, and the divinity of each god is unique.

Mortals can absorb divinity to acquire divine qualities and even fundamentally elevate their essence. However, this is also dangerous, because divinity contains the personality and beliefs of the gods, and fallen gods can usurp the throne through the divinity absorbed by mortals.

The more divinity of the same god one absorbs, the greater the probability of being usurped.

"Why not? This trident, which has been worshipped by the Siren Clan for a long time, contains a power of faith that you can convert into divine power with divine fire. It would be more than worth it, because you and it are both ocean-based deities. Although I am not a god, my understanding of deities is not low, and the conversion rate of divine objects related to the same pantheon or divine office is not low," Harlin said.

"..." Mathers remained silent for a long time. The reason why wizards knew so much about gods was because it was all based on a painful history.

"Three strands of divinity, that's my bottom line," Mathers said. "Accumulating divinity isn't easy for me either. Since being sealed away, it takes me a very long time to accumulate even a single strand of divinity."

"Four strands, if you want to continue our cooperation in the future," Harlin said.

"Damn it, I really lost a lot of money on this deal!" Mathers said in a fit of rage.

The statue's eyes glowed blue, projecting a deep blue light into the room. The next moment, four points of blue-gold light flew out from the blue projection, growing closer and closer until they became real.

Gradually, it eventually transformed into four wisps of blue-gold clouds that floated in the room.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Messers." Harlin handed over the trident, then released it, and the trident floated in the air.

The surrounding air was filled with azure projections, and the azure light grew stronger and stronger. But as the color became more intense, the surrounding light also became deeper and deeper. Lynn looked at the window, and the blue projections reflected on the window kept stretching, making him feel as if he had fallen into the deep sea.

The trident gradually faded into the void right before Lynn and the others' eyes, captured by some kind of force.

Outside, ships sailing on the sea were moving slower and slower, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.

The ghost captain in the captain's cabin sensed something was wrong and quickly came out of the cabin onto the deck.

After what happened last time, no wizard apprentice dared to stay on the deck at night anymore, and the empty deck and bow were only occupied by the ghostly captain.

Standing on the deck, the ghost captain looked around. Suddenly, his body froze, and a look of astonished fear appeared on his face.

He was the ship's old captain and had sailed this route many times. Because of the ship's special status, he had almost never encountered any trouble, but he never expected that such a thing would happen on this voyage.

The surrounding sea was bright, while in the pitch-black night, the distant deep sea was a deep abyss, with dark waves rolling endlessly.

But beneath the surface of the sea surrounding the ship, a vast expanse of bright blue light shone.

The surrounding waves gradually subsided, and the light from the deep sea beneath the ship lingered for a long time before gradually fading away.

The Ghost Captain regained control of his body. As the captain of the ghost ship sailing the seas, he was forever imprisoned on the ship by a special spell cast by a wizard.

Although some freedom was lost, greater security was gained.

But in that instant, the ghost captain felt as if he had lost control of his entire body.

It seemed to be watched by the king of the deep sea.

But what terrified it wasn't the feeling of being watched, but what lay beneath the boat.

Standing at the bow, it could see clearly that the bright blue light below the ship was not an environment—but a blue eye.

A creature whose eyes alone were larger than many islands appeared at the bottom of the ship in that instant.

Harlin put Anglie into his spatial ring. Then he took out four purple crystals and put the four wisps of gas floating in the air into the purple crystals respectively.

After being incorporated into the gas, the purple crystal gradually turned into pure gold.

"This is your reward." Harlin handed one of the pure gold transparent crystals to Lynn.

Although Lynn did not know the specific function of divinity, which was perhaps too far removed from his understanding of its preciousness, it did not prevent him from recognizing its value.

"After all, it was through your statue that we were able to communicate with Mathers," Harlin said.

"This is definitely a very precious material for you, and even for most wizards it is very rare, so you'd better keep the fact that you possess a wisp of divinity a secret, or you'll definitely be in a lot of trouble," Harlin said.

"Understood." Lynn placed the crystal, which contained divinity, into his spatial ring.

"The lab is cleaned up well. Come to my lab at this time tomorrow as well," Harlin said casually.

Lynn left the wizard Harlin's room and returned to his own room.

Suppressing his curiosity, Lynn first entered the alchemy laboratory before taking out the divine crystal from his spatial ring.

As the crystal containing divine power was taken out, the two iron earthworms that had been lying quietly in the corner of the alchemy laboratory suddenly became excited. They wriggled over like two licking dogs, their longing emotions flowing continuously from their bracelets to Lynn.

"Master, what is this?" Lauren asked in surprise. Looking at the divine crystal in his master's hand, Lauren felt his body trembling uncontrollably, and an extremely strong desire was impacting his will.
