Theodore was not angry at Zarathus's mockery and said calmly: "His Excellency Zarathus, you are a great philosopher and a great philosopher. As long as you take back your blasphemous remarks, the temple will no longer pursue your past."

Chen Luo stood aside and watched. A priest died in the Temple of Fire and seriously injured three people. Therefore, his strength was greatly damaged. He could not be held accountable. It seems that even the Temple was very afraid of Zarathus.

Think about it, a philosopher who is at the peak of the great magician and has a huge influence on the mainland, even if the temple can destroy his **, it cannot destroy his thoughts.

"Dream." Zarathus's stubble face showed a sarcastic smile and said, "Even if I am dead, I am nailed into the coffin, I will shout in a decayed voice, "The gods are dead"!"

Theodore said with some regret: "Then please go back to the temple with me. If you want to resist, please don't be here."

"Why resist?"

Out of Chen Luo's expectations, Zarathus looked at Theodore, suddenly clasped his fists, then raised it flat, and said: "The new era has arrived. A new era will surely bring about a new change. I will witness the changes of the times with my own eyes in your temple..."

The magician needs to communicate magic elements through gestures, and his hands are tied, and there is no difference between a great magician and an ordinary person.

Two clergymen ran out from behind Theodore, quickly tied Zaratus' hands up, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Zarathus was injured, he was still a powerful wizard. No one didn't know about his strength against four priests.

Although Zarathus was captured, he left with his head held high and his chest held high. Theodore looked at Chen Luo and asked, "His Excellency Blair, do I look really stupid in the eyes of your scholars?"

Chen Luo said: "You will know if you try to advance to the Holy Magician."

"There are risks in advancing to the Holy Magician." Theodore said honestly: "Most magicians will die during the promotion process. This is why the Holy Magicians on the mainland are so rare."

He looked at the direction where Zaratus left and said, "Even if he doesn't die, he will fall into madness like Lord Zaratus."

"Crazy?" Chen Luo shook his head and said, "I think he is more sober than anyone else."

Theodore didn't say anything else, and finally glanced at Chen Luo and said, "Goodbye, Your Excellency Sage."

The Zarathus incident was just a small episode for Chen Luo.

Theodore said that it is risky to advance to the Holy Magician, and the Great Magician is very likely to die in that process. The Great Magician may be worried about this and has not been to the temple.

There should be many great wizards who have the same ideas as her.

After Zaratus failed to advance to the Holy Magister, his temperament changed drastically. Chen Luo felt that he must have discovered something, but unfortunately Theodore came too quickly. He should have asked him a few more questions just now...

In the capital, where Chen Luo appears, it always attracts a lot of attention. This is why Isabella likes to pull Alice to go shopping instead of him.

This is the headquarters of the Galaxy School, a place where scholars gather. Chen Luo stayed here for a short time, and many scholars have gathered around him.

"Is that the philosopher Zarathus?"

"He was taken away by the temple people!"

"He has blasphemed the gods, how could the temple let him go..."

"But we are scholars. Is it a sin for scholars to express their own opinions..."

...

Dozens of scholars were talking about the direction Theodore and others left.

After leaving the School of Truth, Will joined the Galaxy School. He originally settled in Gaya, and later followed Chen Luo to Luolan to assist him in handling the daily affairs of the school.

Will's master is only a great magician, but he has a high prestige in the academic world. He stood behind Chen Luo and asked, "Is that Mr. Zaratus just now?"

Chen Luo nodded and said, "Yes."

"He was also taken away by the temple." Will's face showed curiosity, "People say he was crazy, I don't think he was..."

Seeing that Chen Luo did not speak, he continued: "Scholars have been studying magic and witchcraft recently. Should they stop them?"

On the Continent of Divine Greed, scholars prohibit the study of witchcraft.

But since Chen Luo began to overturn old ideas and introduce new theories, scholars' attitude towards science has changed.

They did not dare to doubt what had been passed down for thousands of years before, and they would only go deeper and deeper along the wrong route.

It's different now. The two stones landed on Gaya have greatly hurt the scholars' self-esteem.

The sages said that heavy stones fell to the ground first than light ones. They believed it, and then made mistakes for thousands of years. This is not an attitude towards science. Only verified truths are the truth. They will no longer easily believe in any old or new theories.

Once the shackles of thinking are unblocked, they will no longer be bound.

They studied celestial bodies, bacteria, and magic and witchcraft. Then many scholars discovered that witchcraft and magic are not much different except for one that requires spells and gestures and the other that does not.

They all use their mental power to communicate with certain elements in the void, and even their forms are similar. Why is one called magic and the other called witchcraft?

Magic is taught to magicians by the magic gods, and witchcraft is given to wizards by the Dark Goddess. The Dark Goddess is obviously better for her believers. Wizards do not need gestures or spells at all, and they do not even need rabbits. Only when magicians release magic, there are so many restrictions, which also leads to their disadvantages when they encounter wizards.

Chen Luo shook his head and said to Will University Student: "The development of academics requires free soil. Without free land, there is no beautiful flowers."

"The sage is right." Will Master nodded and said, "It seems that it's time to catch a few monsters and study them..."

For scholars, as long as the seeds of curiosity in their hearts begin to sprout, it will no longer be able to curb them, either Chen Luo or the temple can.

The liberation of thought has made more and more scholars dare to challenge tradition and authority. There are always some who are not afraid of the temple. Although scholars also believe in the magic gods, they believe in the truth that has been verified by themselves.

If they were asked to choose one of the two, they would choose the latter without hesitation.

The Zaratus was in the temple, but his thoughts had long spread to all parts of the mainland.

"The gods are dead" is not the only claim he made.

He believed that all magicians were imprisoned by the gods, otherwise, magicians should be like wizards and monsters, without spells and gestures, and freely release magic.

Not only that, he also believed that there was no barrier between the great magician and the holy magician. When the mental power reached a certain limit, all the great magicians could be promoted to the holy magician. What kind of gifts of the gods was just a lie of the temple.

Zarathus is a thinker, and not everyone can understand his thoughts.

Most people think he is crazy and scoff at his thoughts, but his ideas still plant the seeds of doubt in the hearts of a small number of people.

These seeds are buried deep in their hearts. Just waiting for a spring rain to break out of the ground, take root and sprout. A small seed may also grow into a towering tree...
