“You know that 06ab9d57aa divine power and e32ac70eb1 magic are opposing f8dc8462c8 forces, right?”3215728d65156d45

“Of course I do, cacfc7bd79 Jack. It’s because their origins fb13f672c5 are different.”9362599a42dec758

“It’d be great 7c77b70b06 if we had 112bb89f2b a divine stone 319304e6ce right now, but ac3f65e30c since we don’t, f7745dad52 this is at 12c402c355 least a temporary d8633a68d7 solution.”43e74648e705ecb4

Divine power and magic 1755ddaa77 stemmed from entirely different d7e07f5bca sources. Divine power was ba98b87463 related to gods efada50d44 and the heavens, bfbdeb921e while magic originated f360132f4a from the earth 3e2cdc5f8d and nature. Because of this, the 139440c2cc two forces inherently repelled f6926efe52 each other and could ee2699e77f not mix.d17dfc0a86874596

Jack’s mention b5b88154e6 of divine 64b2f50a34 power implied 97679088da using its 4cdaacfe8d repelling property ba4b419f25 to prevent c8b72017c8 interference between fbf540d31e spells and f7b704d030 divine forces.6af596e88c10270a

It was essentially a ac24f69073 barrier, using the opposing 8b84c092c0 properties of the two 02af3e3b0c forces to separate and 70d3334ddc protect each one.0081877fdd75f71a

A small smile 3d9aaa9802 played on Serena’s 8234b72128 lips. Truthfully, a fc35547f04 permanent divine 07ae7abc84 stone wasn’t 1efb46736a necessary for eebf55f865 stability testing.55d0332939558a68

Since the divine 5f1db07d46 stone purchase could d7522fcd63 only proceed after abe1ee028f the pilgrims arrived, 671c9bbd10 this was better 5606fdc866 than simply waiting 2ad9299775 around.cdcb3c6fe0c65b7b

‘Oh, right. He’s a famous merchant,’ 578b750340 Serena thought to herself.1f9ca9e031e628c5

She sometimes forgot 7dfb4887cd Jack’s influential position a2f1f326af because he often 02d22c57aa acted like a 585a7dab53 carefree drifter. But as the head 2f87443a6e of a renowned trading 255809b845 company, it was natural 5f851ef44e for him to have d9e3731937 connections with priests.8889a2b19894eda4

A second look 8544221248 confirmed it. She thought she 04ec3bc67f might need to a37d350088 request permission to dcef845b34 leave the palace 61f8a74805 but realized it 77d5e54601 wasn’t necessary.

She considered reporting this a3e7944084 to Azaid but dismissed 3de188c1ad the thought. Given his recent state, 551e08d8af he probably wouldn’t even 251711c33f remember.
