The dark wizard Rasputin walked to the altar and continued to introduce, "I have investigated many ancient legends about gods, according to ancient documents, I finally found the whereabouts of the legendary seven gods of chaos, Ogdru Jahad. They have been sealed in the dark space of different dimensions. Now, I have obtained the coordinates of the space. As long as I call them out, I can use the power of the gods to purify this world and create a better future. For this goal, I am willing to dedicate everything to my god. Not only me but also the other dark wizards with me have voluntarily sacrificed and buried their bones here, using a secret method to retain their power, becoming a sacrifice to summon the gods."

Listening to Rasputin's words, Ivan rolled his eyes.

'Voluntarily sacrificing their lives as sacrifices? What a load of nonsense. Do you think I'm that gullible? Judging from the wounds of the corpses buried under the altar, they were attacked and killed from behind. Judging from the posture of those corpses, they were killed by extremely cruel means. Ivan guessed that summoning the Seven Gods of Chaos would require using resentment.'

Ivan had always heard that Hitler had a group of dark wizards working for him. Because Ivan was very curious about such unscientific things as magic, he had always wanted to meet these dark wizards, but unfortunately could never meet them. He wondered where they had gone. He finally found out today that they all died here, and most of them were killed by Rasputin.

Ivan glanced at Rasputin, secretly on guard.

'This old guy is not to be underestimated. You have to be a little careful but don't accidentally get caught in his schemes. These dead dark wizards are unfortunate. Even in death, they find no peace, and their corpses are used. Is there anything more tragic than this?'

Ivan understood the working principle of the machine. There were dense lines at the bottom and a strange magic circle under the altar. The function of the magic circle should be to gather the magic power and resentment in those corpses, and then pass them through those corpses, the lines, into the machine, and then out of the machine to convert it into space energy, opening the different space where the Chaos Seven Gods were located.

Now Ivan had thoroughly understood the working principles of those machines. If he wanted to make them run, he only needed to adjust them a little. It was a straightforward task for him and would take less than half an hour, but Ivan did not want to make it easy for this dark wizard. Before that, he needed to gain some advantages for himself.

"Dr. Ivan, join this great plan, and let us bathe in the glory of God together."

Looking at the black wizard who was chattering and becoming more and more fanatical, Ivan pouted to himself, 'Bathed in divine light? Who are you kidding? If the monster is summoned, the first thing I'm afraid of is being devoured.'

Ivan deliberately showed an embarrassed look. "Cough, cough. That... Wizard Rasputin, I am a scientist and an atheist, so in my opinion, those gods are just higher-level life forms. So I'm sorry..."

Rasputin was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Ivan was not one of his fellow wizards, so he couldn't fool him with his previous words. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. "Sorry Dr. Ivan, I got a bit carried away."

"No problem. I am also curious about magic. If I'm not mistaken, this machine is an energy conversion device, which transforms so-called magic energy into another kind of energy. I want to make the machine work and to do that, I need to understand the nature of magic. Can Rasputin teach me about magic?"

Rasputin was a bit embarrassed. After some thought, he said, "It's simple to talk about some basic magic knowledge, and I'm even willing to teach you if you want to learn magic. But learning magic isn't a quick process, and given the international situation in Germany right now, we urgently need a strong force to turn the tide. Time might be running out."

Ivan said goodbye, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't take long, you just need to briefly give me some history of magic, let me have a general understanding of how it works, and then demonstrate magic, it is best to give me some books on magic, and when I understand the nature of magic energy, I can adjust the machine according to the situation."

Rasputin was relieved. It didn't take long. He was afraid that Ivan would say that he would have to wait until he learned magic before he could adjust the machine, which would have to wait until the year-end. "It doesn't matter, but you can read magic books. Will you understand? You must know that magic has been passed down since ancient times, and it is not so easy to read when it involves ancient texts."

"Don't worry, there is no problem. Not only am I proficient in various languages, but I have also specialized in ancient documents. If I want, I am a competent archaeologist. You only need to send books about magic to my room, whether it's about the use of magic or the changing history of magic, the more the better."

Rashputin thought for a moment, "If that's the case, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, you can just go to my magic book to read, it's in the cave behind the base. I've been here for the past few years, so let me directly send over the magic books I have collected over the years, and I often study them when I am bored in the daytime."

A look of admiration flashed in Ivan's eyes, "Sorcerer Rashputin is worthy of being the chief magician of the head of state, your fame is not for nothing, you still do not forget to study magic in such a difficult environment, Admiration."

"Dr. Ivan has won the award, and your knowledge is admirable," Rasputin stretched out his hand and made a symbol out of thin air, and the symbol turned into a streamer and flew towards Ivan.

Ivan didn't have time to dodge until the rune was already attached to the back of his hand. Ivan looked at Rasputin with a vigilant look, and the red devil also quickly stepped forward a few steps, the cold light in his eyes loomed, and a pair of short knives appeared in his hands at some point.

Seeing the appearance of Ivan and the Red Devil, Rashput quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, the two of you, this is just a contractual magic authority. Those magic books have been cursed by me, and only those who have this rune can read them. If other people touch those magic books, not only will they not be able to see the text, but they will be cursed."

Ivan sensed it and found that although the symbol on the back of the hand had a strange fluctuation, it was harmless to the human body, and Ivan had a feeling that he could forcibly erase it with his powerful mental power, which was a sigh of relief.

The expression on Ivan's face changed from cloudy to sunny, and he said with a smile: "It turns out that it is, but I am over-hearted. Don't take offense to Wizard Rashputin."

"It's not surprising, it's also my negligence. Are you going to read the magic book now?"

"Of course, I have to get the machine up and running as soon as possible. The sooner the better."

Rasputin immediately asked his beautiful valet to walk behind the base of Ivan and Red Devil. Rasputin did not doubt that Ivan wanted to learn magic by stealth, but still, the learning of magic cannot be achieved overnight, and the magic library is all about basic magic knowledge, which is profound. The content is recorded in his magic notes, and the time is extremely tight, he does not think that Ivan can read many books in a short period, so Rasputin is not worried that Ivan can learn from great magic.

It's a pity that Rasputin miscalculated. For Ivan, what he needs is this inconspicuous basic knowledge, but Rasputin regards himself as a treasure. In terms of text, it is not worth mentioning. As long as he understands the profound meaning of magic, with his highly developed brain, there is no secret technique that could not be created.

As for the urgency of time, this is even less of a problem for Ivan. After the highly developed brain, Ivan can never forget that he is a scientist. Now Ivan's brain is faster than a computer, and he can remember everything at a glance.

Ivan's dark wizard beauty assistant and lover led him down to a cave. After walking a few dozen steps, he came to the so-called magic library. After a brief introduction, she left.

Looking at the densely packed books in the library, Ivan showed a smile on his face. He first asked Red Devil to guard outside to make sure no one came in. He stood still in the center, and his eyes suddenly became clearer and brighter, the whole person seemed to have a great change in temperament, like a god who is aloof, ruthless, and unwilling to look down on the world, the magic book on the shelf seems to be supported by an invisible force, flying in front of Ivan, automatically turning the page, only ten seconds before and after, one book is finished, and it flies back to its original position, then the second book, the third book...

It took four or five hours to finish reading the last book. Ivan's emotionless appearance began to return to normal, and his eyes regained a radiance.

Ivan sighed. In such a short period of four or five hours, Ivan has changed from a person who knows nothing about magic to a professor with profound knowledge of magic theory. If he is asked to teach magic, he will be dozens of times better than ordinary magic teachers.

"I have to say that the magic books collected by Rasputin are comprehensive enough. There are not only various magic spells and magic skills but also detailed magic history and various anecdotes, which makes Ivan think about magic. There are corpses buried under the altar, so I am afraid that a large part of these books are left by the dead dark wizards."

Through these books, Ivan has a thorough understanding of magic. How should I put it? In Ivan's opinion, magic energy is a panacea in some respects, and can be transformed into any form of energy, but only if It is necessary to understand the nature of the energy being transformed, such as flame, water flow, gust of wind, etc. To facilitate this transformation, various magic spells have been invented, such as the fierce fire spell, the ice spell, and the floating spell.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Magic can be transformed in many ways, used to attack, heal, assist, and do various things. It is too inclusive, and it is precisely because of this that it loses its characteristics, such as It is said that it is not powerful enough to fight, and it may be used to treat injuries, which may overdraw vitality and reduce life expectancy. In short, there will be defects in various aspects.

Now Ivan no longer feels mysterious about magic. In Ivan's view, magic is also a way of using energy, and even the way it works makes Ivan involuntarily think of the operation of integrated circuits. Ivan suddenly thought that someone said, however, the end of science is theology, so what is the so-called divine energy?
