Chapter 011: A Brief History of Magic (Part II)

On the eve of the Allied War of Aggression against China, with the support of huge military spending, several of Cemeni's holy magicians developed the elemental extraction technology, that is, the artificial creation of magic crystals (the substance formed by a single element is difficult to exist stably, and there are some special minerals that can replace the body's "holy spring" secretions to accommodate a single element). Thanks to this technology, Cemeni pioneered the development of thermal weapons - magic guns and magic cannons.

The lethality of the thermal weapons was terrifying, and thousands of people in the Western Coalition Military Region still won a great victory in the face of dozens of times the strength of the Dakang Empire.

However, although the Dakang Empire was defeated, its long civilization, vast territory, and rich people still made the Western powers feel that they had encountered a real opponent, otherwise there was no need to join forces to clean up this behemoth.

Edward Soros has always been in awe and grateful for the Great Kang Empire because of his epiphany in the Great Kang Empire. Under his influence, the Western coalition led by Chemeni did not wipe out the Dakang Empire, but only cut off a Fuzhou as a long-term lease for various countries, so that there was a window of trade and exchange between the civilizations of the West and the East.

"The yellow people of the East have stood at the top of the pyramid for too long, and they have never bothered to look down at how many people are struggling to climb, which is why they are punished today. But as soon as they wake up, they will not be subordinated to any race. This is the quote from a letter from Edward Soros.

After the signing of the peace treaty between the East and the West, Edward immediately authorized and helped the Dakang Empire to open a magic school, so that it could share the fruits of magical civilization, which could be regarded as a gratitude.

Twenty years later, the Holy Wizard Buz Bunker used the supreme forbidden spell of [Dividing the Territory] to form an abyss around a circular surface in the middle of the Great Kang Empire, causing an earthquake that killed millions of people in vain and displaced tens of millions. Edward was furious at this, scolded Buz Bunker and the forces behind him, and urged the magic guilds of various countries to make a magical covenant, one of which was that once magic skills were forbidden, they should not be used under any circumstances (even if they fought with enemies, and if they did not use it, they would not be able to save their lives), otherwise they would be ruthlessly strangled by the World Magic Federation.

The earthquake in the Great Kang Empire was the work of Buz Bunker, known only to some of the powerful and high-ranking magicians in the West, and the secular people thought it was a natural disaster. But there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed, and how many Chinese brave men will embark on the road of revenge at that time? As for why Buz Bunker did such an extreme thing, it was actually driven by the interests of the magic industry behind it.

In the years following the advent of elemental extraction technology, Edward Soros summed up the experience of his predecessors and his years of painstaking research to create the study of elemental harmony. With this set of theoretical foundations, the magic industry was born in the Saron Federation. All kinds of machines began to replace human labor, and the performance of a sword made in an hour could rival or even surpass that of a sword that took days to forge. In addition to weapons, people can also use machines to produce a variety of household utensils, medicines, etc. They even invented vehicles that used elements such as fire, thunder, light, and wind as power.

The efficient and stable productivity brought by the magic industry gradually freed people's hands and rapidly improved their strength and living standards, and the Salonian Federation took the core and opportunity to develop the magic industry, surpassing Chimani to become the world's first power. The magical civilization ushered in the peak era, and Edward Soros also gained untold wealth and extremely high status, becoming the uncrowned emperor of the West and even the entire human society.

Not counting the period of obscure and ignorant origins, the history of magic from Paucilli to Edward Soros is only two or three hundred years. The Chinese people "have not changed the true road for a thousand years, and the emperor has dismounted to change my family", completely unaware of the earth-shaking changes that have taken place outside. As a result, the Oriental Treasure Hall of the former king was blasted open to the rotten and heavy door.

This vast history of magic was compiled into a textbook for the elementary magic school, and it was to be taught in three years. Shangguan Naiya could hear Yu Jin tell strange stories of Western magic in class every day, and she must be willing to listen to them, but she was afraid of asking questions, because every time she asked questions, it was very difficult.

For example, the "Formula for Mutual Birth and Restraint of Elements" in the prologue is a very basic but very important knowledge point, which talks about the mechanism of the cycle of birth and death of the five elements and five fortunes, but does not explain what life means and what gram means. Yu Jin didn't explain Sheng Heke to the students, and it is estimated that even if he said it, he would not be able to understand it at their current age. Yu Jin said that learning is like this, the prophet knows it, and slowly knows the reason for it. But there is a requirement, that is, you must memorize the "Formula" well in your chest and imprint it in your heart. As a result, there were two questions that Shangguan Naiya couldn't answer, and he couldn't tell what element was what element, what element was what element.

Shangguan Naiya had no choice but to ask Zhang Jiabao for advice after class, for fear that if he couldn't answer the third question, it would leave a very bad impression in Mr. Yu's heart. Don't look at Zhang Jiabao's hanging in class, he is playing iron jumping, and he is teasing others, his head is very useful, and he has been answered by Yu Jin's questions for five consecutive days. Yu Jin liked his cleverness and turned a blind eye to his small actions in class.

Zhang Jiabao's answer is very interesting: "You just remember this, for example, wood makes fire, fire gives birth to earth, and wood is the grandfather of earth, so Mu Ketu." ”

"Why is Grandpa going to Ke?" Shangguan Naiya was very strange.

"Just like me, I'm not afraid of my father, I'm afraid of my grandfather. He would do whatever I told my dad to do, but my grandpa wouldn't dare look at him if he didn't laugh. Zhang Jiabao's grandfather was an official in the court, and he only met once in his memory. The patriarch Zhang Chuanzheng was as angry as his grandson in front of him, and Zhang Jiabao was so scared that he cried all the time.

"That's easy to remember," Shangguan Naiya nodded thoughtfully, "In the future, Mr. will ask which element and which element, and I will think back that you are afraid of grandpa and not afraid of father." ”

"Bao, let's go, go down there and play. Chen Caican came over and called.

"Good. Zhang Jiabao took Shangguan Naiya's hand and ran downstairs.

The school's central playground is large, but it gets crowded when it comes to recess. A few open spaces are usually occupied by older students to play football. The only few pavilions and a few shades were also occupied by those big brothers and sisters, some were playing chess, and some were precocious and hid to kiss and touch. It is only when the entrance exams are approaching that the senior students will settle down, endure the laughter and noise outside the window, and study the top floor to prepare for the exam.

At this time, Qin Haoxuan had already led Jin Yufang to watch more than a dozen juniors play football in a corner. "Brother Xu Yi, come on!" Qin Haoxuan shouted in the middle of the field. A handsome young man with dark skin heard this and nodded to him.

"That's my buddy, who is often in the top three in sixth grade. Qin Haoxuan said to Jin Yufang with some pride.

"Can't we go up and kick too?" Zhang Jiabao said.

"Hey, Brother Xuan and I'm okay, Ah Bao, let's talk about it when you grow taller. Chen Caican sneered.

At this time, there was a lot of commotion in the field, the ball stopped kicking for the time being, and several big boys whistled. It turned out that Zhang Jiabao and their teacher Yu Jin passed by and walked to the library. Yu Jin is the most beautiful of the few female teachers in the school, and as long as she appears, she will attract the attention of these young nobles with a budding heart. Qin Haoxuan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled a few people to hide in the woods, so as not to be seen by Mr. Yu.

Yu Jin was not surprised by these noisy seniors, and a fire rose in his hand, making a gesture to throw it at them. Xu Yi coughed and beckoned the others to start playing.

"Hi, beautiful Miss Yu, what is it that has caused your chagrin?" said Eric, the tall superintendent, who greeted him out of nowhere, with a gentlemanly smile on his face.

"It's all right, Mr. Eric, I'm playing with these lovely kids. Yu Jin replied very politely and was about to leave.

Eric stepped forward, "Miss Yu, I heard that you are a very talented magician, I have some academic questions I would like to ask you, I wonder if you can go to the library with me to discuss together?"

Yu Jin frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Eric, you are too exalted to me, and now I have something to do, so it is better to change the day." ”

Eric, of course, wouldn't let her go. He only has the name of a superintendent here, and he doesn't have much real power, but the identity of a foreigner is enough for him to go sideways, and even the master of the school has to nod to him in private, and the teachers are even more complimented to him. But this young yellow-skinned woman was very unkind, and had been lukewarm to him, not far or near, so could he not see that he was interested in her?

The scene of Yu Jin being pulled by Erikra and not daring to be angry was seen by Zhang Jiabao, his eyes rolled and he ran to the field and pretended to be excited and shouted: "Brothers, take me to play!"

The senior students are fake to play football, and it is true to watch Eric flirt with his sister, but he didn't expect a short boy to break in. Zhang Jiabao innocently said "hey", "I'll kick first, who will pick it up?" and kicked the ball towards Eric.

"Smack!" the ball hit Eric in the side, turning what he was about to say into a scream. Eric touched his cheek in embarrassment and scolded fiercely, "Damn, who is it?"
