Chapter 256: A Study of Ancient Wizards' Behavior Patterns
For a long time, our ancestors maintained an extremely strange mode of survival.
They are accustomed to the law of the jungle and regard it as the law of the world, they tend to kill people and seize treasures, directly take the fruits of others rather than communicate, they worship power as the truth, the strong take all, and the weak die.
It was strange that the sorcerers had broken through the boundaries of humanity and morality, and in those chaotic times, killing and being killed were the eternal main tone, and people gnawed at each other, crawling on the earth like savage beasts.
That is the [old era] that many young people yearn for now, and everything that has happened on the continent of SmΓ₯land.
Almost all of today's legendary heroic stories happened there, and it is a pity that most people only care about the strong, those well-known successful people, and few people care about the people behind those stories.

The wizards are fighting, struggling, and crazy, everyone is trying their best to hide themselves, everyone is doing everything possible to compete for all the resources necessary for survival, and the only fate of a weak man meeting a strong man is to be killed, take away all the gains, and even the soul is taken away and become an experiment.
It is a human tragedy that can only happen in a certain era, and what I want to do is to expose and analyze it.
Today, the behavior of most ancient wizards can be called barbaric, but it can be understood if you think about it from another perspective, after all, people do everything in order to survive.
There is no doubt that we are living in the best of times, when all races are roughly united, when the people live in stability, and where all people can dance in shackles under the shroud of the law, but what will it be like to push forward hundreds or thousands of years? Now, looking back, let us go to the point when the Holy See was at its most powerful, and in that darkest period, the Holy See never failed, they only flourished and declined, and only by learning to understand the enemy can we understand ourselves.
So, let's first analyze how they declined.
In countless modern works, it is almost a magical theme, there are wizard warriors, and there will be the Holy See as villains, not only because the ready-made template is right in front of you, no need to use it in vain, but also because of the long-term indoctrination of ideas, the Holy See is bad, we have been engraved in our minds from elementary school to adulthood, and the protagonists in those books can always defeat the Holy See, but unfortunately, in reality, they are very powerful, and now they have the momentum to get up.
The Holy See of Light was born out of the yearning of intelligent beings for light, degenerated by desire and greed, and it became like this only because it was too centralized, and there was no external pressure, which led to more and more moths, and this is the reason for the decline, standing still is equal to regression, but to this day, Smolan is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and it is getting up, unstoppable.
These madmen have always been unwilling to believe that life belongs to them, preferring to entrust everything to the ethereal gods, they firmly believe that power is given by God, and that the sorcerer has received the gift of God but does not admit that it is a gift, it is a blasphemy, and is determined to kill all the casters who refuse to recite the gods, which may have been the earliest attempt to cover up the truth, to cover up the truth that God does not exist.
We don't believe in God, but we can cast spells, so our existence is the greatest irony of the Holy See of Light.
So they call us demons, demons who steal divine power.
After that, after the lie was told for a long time, they themselves believed it, and the wizard and the Holy See naturally opposed each other, and the Holy See pressed and beat the wizard, and there were many factors in this, and the casters who believed in God and those who did not believe in God started a protracted war, and as far as we know, the predecessors lost.
Of course, in a sense, they are the ones who have pushed us forward, and we should say thank you again, if it weren't for them, we would still be in all kinds of chaos because of the contradictions between the races, and change needs a driving force, and this is one of the driving forces.
It is this absurd lie that the gods have invented a kingdom in heaven where all the good things in the world exist, and that if you are a good person, you can go there after death.
But this kind of brainwashing, which is almost mental castration, does do a lot of things that we can't do.
For example, they used the concept of God to create one "sinless city" after another.
But for us, no matter how good it looks like at first glance, it's a human purgatory full of dangers.
For example, there is a very famous thing: an organization called the Night Watch. It is under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy See, and the mission of this organization has been since the day it was founded, and their mission is only one ββββ to find and kill all wizards they can find, and to kill everyone who seems to be close to wizards.
Under such high pressure, the whole society is mired in a strange stagnant, progress is suppressed, and all those who know magic and are not under the jurisdiction of the Holy See system must face the challenge of the limit.
The priest smelled the smell of the experiments and would die, and if he accidentally left traces of magic, he would die, and basically, if anything related to magic was discovered, the unlucky guy would probably be dead.
Regardless of morality, just looking at the position, this phenomenon is completely deformed and unreasonable, but this is what happened, at that time there was no so-called human rights, except for the nobility and the royal family.
So, a rough model of behavior pattern is established:
It is impossible for a wizard to know if another wizard is a threat to him.
It is impossible for a wizard to know if another wizard will determine that he is a threat.
It is impossible for a wizard to know whether his actions will attract the attention of the Holy See and cause ruin.
The above three conditions are based on the premise that they have not been exposed, exposed, the strength will naturally appear, and the judgment between the wizard and the wizard will be high, and after the exposure, most of them will die, but if they are not exposed, it will be difficult to communicate, at this time, the law of the jungle has defeated human nature.
In the dark and lonely forest, every wizard is a lurker, try their best to hide their lurkers, they must carefully hide in the bushes, what they have to do is to pay attention to all the circumstances around them, every anomaly may directly lead to death, remove the grass, eliminate hidden dangers, any mistake, will make him doomed, a seemingly inconspicuous potion bottle, a piece of clothing that was not destroyed when he left, a hair left behind when leaving the crowd, and even an undisturbed smell, will end his lifeγ
This is, belonging to the ancient wizards, the laws of the Dark Forest.
