Chapter 423: Ten Questions for Arcane
Ayinro, the mage organization's Elemental Blade station, in a chamber deep in.
"Muse, you have embarked on the path of the Arcane. ”
"So, have you really thought about the word 'arcane', what its original meaning is, what it means at its root?"
After arguing with the muse like an old man next door, Douglas suddenly changed his mind and introduced the topic to this aspect.
"I'm sorry, Lord Douglas, I don't know. ”
Although the muse's heart knows everything, at this time, this is the most reasonable answer.
This is also a process that mages must go through in their growth, and at the lower level, mages mainly learn those spells that have become a system, in short, they only need to master the use of spells.
As for the root, principle, and essence of the spell, that is not what they need to understand at the lower level.
This is a practice chosen by the mage training system after many years of adjustment, based on the optimal efficiency and maximum use of resources.
After all, if a lot of resources were invested in the beginning, and low-level mages were to spend a lot of time learning things that could not quickly become their powers, but needed to be accumulated over a long period of time to be effective, once they died in the process, the loss would not be ordinary.
And the point is that the mage profession has the highest casualty rate when it is at their lower level.
Low-level spells?
You just need to use it.
As for knowing where it came from, what its essence and principles were, would it be of any help to me in killing the kobold in front of me?
The daily life faced by many low-level mages is usually to work hard or even stumble on their own spell path in the dark, and in this case, they can easily form the above thinking.
Of course, once a mage has the ability to grow, then the next step is to make up for it, and without understanding the nature of the world and without his own experimental results, it is basically impossible to go far on the path of mage.
It's just that, in many cases, once the thinking is formed, it is extremely difficult to change......
Arcanists, on the other hand, have similarities, but they also have differences.
"Hehehe. ”
With a hint of a smile, Douglas picked up the fine porcelain cup on the side and took a sip of Youwen's black tea in the cup before continuing.
"The term 'arcane' originally meant 'mystery or secrecy understood by a few'. ”
"The 'Arcanist' means 'a craftsman, a person who possesses mysteries or secrets that few people know'. ”
Speaking of this, Douglas's tone suddenly became a little heavier, and the expression on his face became solemn.
"And as an arcane artist, you must understand what the word 'arcane' means to us. ”
He stretched out his right index finger and made a slight turn, drawing a clear blue circle of light in the air.
The dazzling arcane aura escaped, enveloping Douglas's entire being.
As soon as the muse was in front of him, the old man with the temperament of the grandfather next door disappeared without a trace, and in his place was a great arcanist in a pale gray robe, with a straight waist and clasped hands, and a solemn look on his face.
Although the appearance has not changed, the temperament has been completely different.
Every gesture is majestic.
In the eyes, there seems to be infinite knowledge and wisdom.
"Gollum"
Subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and at this moment, the muse felt that Douglas in front of him was inexplicably overlapping with the figure of the first arcane emperor of the arcane empire in his memory.
"In this world, many mages have mastered what the world thinks is incomparably powerful by learning spells. ”
"But sadly, they are just a user of a spell, and they only know the effect of any spell they cast from their hands, not the principle of it. ”
"It can be said that this is a kind of imprisonment of the mind. ”
"Arcanists must recognize that the world is full of unknowns,"
"Even if we have great power, there are still countless unknowns in it. ”
"Don't be fooled or even blinded by the power in your hands, we need to calm down and think about the problem and explore the principles behind it. ”
"There are many seemingly ordinary things in the material world, if we ask more why, we will find that we still don't know the real principles of them, whether these truths, laws and knowledge are related to spells, whether they can be combined with spells, and whether they can help us explore the nature of the world?"
"What exactly is the nature of spells?"
"How does the spell model work, and how does it mobilize elemental energy to form spells?"
"Are the four elements of earth, wind, fire, and water the basic elements? If so, in what form and by what laws do they constitute this wonderful world? If not, what are they?"
"Why is there a difference between energy and matter, and what is the relationship between them?"
"What is the nature of the soul?"
"Are souls and consciousness different, and if so, in what form does consciousness exist?"
"Why do living beings have psychic powers?"
"What is the nature of spiritual power, and in what form does it exist?"
"Why do there are scorching suns and silver moons in this world, why do they rise and set every day, and what is the force that keeps them running this way?"
"Why are we able to stand on the ground, and what is it that makes creatures fall down when they jump instead of flying straight into the sky?"
“......”
"Everything is worth exploring in depth. ”
"And that's the mindset that every arcanist must establish!"
“......”
"Arcane, i.e. 'Truth'!"
"Question the everyday, know the world, and explore the truth!"
"Remember, the Arcanist is the explorer, the discoverer. ”
"At the lower level, even if you only stay at the level of the user due to the lack of ability, you must always remember that the Arcanist's pursuit is only the truth of the world, and he will definitely embark on the path of exploring the truth!"
Listening to Douglas's speech, although he knew these truths very well in his heart, the muse also had a feeling of being shocked.
And......
There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity......
"Yes, isn't this the first time the Arcane Revolution broke out, and the Arcane Ring was the centerpiece of the Arcane Manifesto, which was the centerpiece of the Arcane Manifesto of the Arcane Revolution's guiding principles?"
"Aren't those majestic questions that point directly to the origin and rules the famous [Ten Questions of Arcane]?"
Thoughts like these quickly flashed through the muse's mind, and then turned into a look of humility on his face,
"Lord Douglas, although it is very likely that I will not meet your requirements due to my lack of knowledge and knowledge of the arcane, I will do my best to learn and improve myself to truly become an arcanist. ”
