Chapter 110: True Arrogance

Exposure is exposed, what is there to hide. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Claire thought in her heart.

In the monastic order, even an apprentice knows that the three sanctuaries are located on three large magical nodes. And the location of the three temples is not a secret, they are directly named after the place where they are located. It's like the New York Temple in New York and the Hong Kong Temple in Hong Kong.

The fact that the three temples draw energy from the magic nodes is also known to everyone. This is taken for granted, but what can be done if this is exposed?

"We're used to the magic node, but can the worldly people be taken for granted?" Olivan saw Clea's disapproving look and knew what she was thinking, "We're going to show it to the world, but are the people really ready to accept it?"

"Acceptance?" Claire was a little puzzled, "Among the people in the world, there are very few people who can sense magic and become mages, and more people have no feeling for it, let alone accept it." ”

"Hmph, why do they sense it?" Olivan smiled and shook his head, "What can people in the world sense? They can't sense anything, but wind, fire, electricity, and other more esoteric and powerful energies, such as nuclear energy, aren't they already at their disposal?"

"But it's not their own ability, they are able to use this energy because they use tools, tools that science has made. Claire retorted.

"So what? No matter what method they use, no matter what tools they use, these energies are already working for them. Olivan said.

"Are you worried...... Claire seemed to understand what Olivier meant, "will the world use science to interpret magic and harness it?

"Are magic and science really two parallel lines that cannot intersect? magic is truth, isn't science?" Olivan asked continuously, but then he himself replied, "No, magic and science are both truths, and he and truth are interconnected, and there is no distinction between high and low. ”

"When the secrets of the Magic Node are revealed, it won't be long before the world will be able to use their science to explain this new energy, and soon invent machines to collect and use it. ”

Claire thought about it for a moment, and she thought it seemed to make sense. Studying magic may not be much more difficult than nuclear power, but no one has noticed this power yet, and when the magic node is exposed, I believe that the world will soon find a way to use it, just like the magic machines in the comics.

But there's nothing wrong with that, isn't it good to let the world have one more source of energy? This can also make them develop faster, will the retreat be reluctant?

With this in mind, Claire said, "The magic node has enough energy to be used by the whole world. ”

The meaning is, the more energy, you don't have to pick so much.

"That's right, the power of the magic node is almost endless, and it doesn't seem wrong to let the whole world share its light and heat, but ......," said Olivan at this point, "how will the world share it? Is it a magic lamp and a magic car, or a magic gun and a mana atomic bomb?"

Claire, a manga fan, would smile when she heard the magic car, but when she heard the mana atomic bomb, the expression on her face immediately turned into horror.

It occurred to her that the mysterious and huge new energy source was controlled by some big warlord or evil government, and created a weapon that could destroy the world, which seems to be a common routine in comics. "Is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. "When magic can be used by science, the world will compete for this powerful new energy." ”

Claire "But the magic ......" She was about to say that the magic was sufficient, and there was no need to snatch it at all, but Olivan interrupted her.

Olivean: "There is a lot of magic, and there are magic nodes all over the world, but they are not very evenly distributed in different sizes, as is the case with the borders of the world. ”

Oliven pointed down with his hand and said, "For example, the country under our feet, he is lucky to have one of the three largest magic nodes on the earth, but the magic nodes of other countries are very small, and some countries don't even have them at all. ”

"This uneven distribution will soon lead to the snatching of the world, and those who do not want to have it, the small ones want the big ones, the big ones want the bigest, and the big ones think that everything belongs to him, and this will lead to war. ”

Claire didn't speak, even if she wasn't deeply involved in the world and was innocent, she knew a little bit of patience and ugliness. Are there still few wars in the world over energy? Why is there so much war in the Middle East, apart from its geographical location, because there is a lot of oil there?

And the value of the magic node will definitely be more valuable than those oil wells.

"Once a war has begun, it is difficult to stop, and in order to win the war, the world will do whatever it takes, and magic will be developed into a new type of cannibalistic weapon. The world that we have worked so hard to keep from being destroyed by otherworldly demons may also be ruined by their wars. ”

"So. Olivan concluded, "We can't put the magic node in front of the world when they're not ready. ”

Olivan's words refer to the mission of the Hermitage to defend against the invasion of demons in outer space. It is precisely the sense of mission brought by this noble mission that gives them the illusion of superiority, but they forget that they are not the only ones who save the world.

"I see, Master. Claire accepted Olivan's claim, but then she asked, "When will the mortals be ready?"

You just say that people are not ready, but how can you be considered prepared? You have to have a standard.

"When we approve it. Olivan said as a matter of course. In other words, when ordinary people are qualified to master magic power, it is up to our hermitage to decide.

"Master. After a long time, he said, "I want to go out and practice." ”

"What?" Olivan raised an eyebrow, thinking he had misheard.

This so-called going out to practice, that is, going to the worldly walk, is also the rule that the Supreme Master set when he founded the monastic order, and this is a compulsory course for apprentices who have not yet become a mage. There are also different interpretations of this rule within the monastics.

The proud part believes that by walking in the world, through the contact of mortals, one can more deeply realize the lowliness and ignorance of mortals, and can also better reflect their own nobility. Although their apprentices were beaten into pigs' heads when they returned.

And the more modest ones think that this is to not let themselves come from anywhere, so that they can stabilize their minds.

However, Claire is already an official mage, although she skipped this procedure for special reasons, and no one has said that she should make up for this lesson, what does she mean by making this request now?
