Chapter 109: Are We Really That Extraordinary?
"It's been a long time since I've explained the need for this rule. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info other apprentices will only passively execute, and never ask why. Speaking of this, Oliven sighed, "Closed-minded, destined to not go far on the road of magic." ”
Then with a smile of relief, he said to Claire, "You are the only one who has such a strong curiosity, maybe that's why you are so good." ”
In the practice of magic, it will definitely not work if you die on the knowledge of books. Because, no matter how well you learn the knowledge in the book, you can't surpass the person who wrote the book, so a certain amount of curiosity is essential.
Only with curiosity will you have the motivation to explore and pursue the truth, and go further and further on the road of magic, which is also a very important part of the magical talent, after all, the teacher can teach you knowledge, but not curiosity into your head.
Of course, this is talking about a certain curiosity, and he has limits. Beyond this limit, it becomes an excess of curiosity, and the result of excess curiosity is ...... Countless mages and warlocks have used their lives and souls to explain to you what the fate is.
"Willing to listen to your teachings. Claire, who was complimented, said with a smile.
"About 500 years ago, the Supreme Venerable Master Gu Yi established the Monastery and established this rule. Olivan began to elaborate on the origin of this rule: "At that time, people in the secular world were still very ignorant, and even a mage who was not skilled in his art could make waves in the secular world, taking advantage of the ignorance of the laity, and he could get almost everything he wanted, worldly strength, money, and fulfillment. However, this is achieved on the basis of the destruction of the secular world. ”
"So," Olivan said with admiration on his face, "the Supreme Mage forbids the mage to communicate too deeply with the secular world, and it turns out that the Supreme Mage is wise, and the mundane has embarked on a path other than magic, and is developing well. ”
Whether the mage who came to the world used magic to rule in terror or selflessly dedicated himself to governing the country with benevolence, it would seriously restrict the development of human civilization.
Because for humans on Earth, magic is not something that everyone can learn, and only a very small number of people have this talent. However, human civilization and human development cannot be supported by this small group of people.
With the continuous development of natural science, they will eventually be pulled down from the altar and will change from being worshiped to being forgotten.
Will they be willing? Who can be willing? In order to prevent this from happening, they will brand all science as heresy, and they will use all means to suppress the human mind.
In short, they will be bloodier and more successful than the inquisitors of the Church, because they truly have supernatural powers.
"That's exactly what it looks like. Claire felt that Olivan had a point, and he could imagine how much of an impact a mage could have had in the secular world five centuries ago. Because, in addition to reading comics, she also reads a lot of novels.
"However, I feel that this rule is outdated now. Claire agrees with Olivan's statement, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own ideas.
When Claire first said this, she was still a little nervous, after all, she was questioning the rules set by the Supreme Mage, but she found that Olivian was not angry, but said to herself with an encouraging smile, "It's okay, tell me what you think." ”
So, Claire, who was encouraged, boldly said her thoughts: "Time has passed, as you just said, the people of the world have developed very well, they are not as ignorant as before, and the scientific power they have is not weaker than magic, and it is not only us who have mastered extraordinary power, but also those mutants, do we need to continue to hide it?"
Claire's meaning is very clear, that is, the current world is no longer the middle ages, being fooled by a god stick casually, you can sacrifice your life, people are now enlightened don't want it, now go out to a mage, maybe when you are a magician, or treat you as a mutant, it's good not to discriminate against you, you still want to call the wind and rain, and want them to bow to you, not to mention the door, there are no windows, we hide here and really don't have any meaning.
"I'm glad you found this. Oliven said happily, "We call the outside world the world, and the people outside the world the world, but are they really much worse than us? No, no. They're not much worse than us, and you can see that it's good. ”
"But...... Some of us are still too arrogant. Olivan said with some concern, "They still think that the world is foolish, and the truth is in their own hands. But magic is the truth, isn't science? Hmph, he is the same, but unfortunately they don't understand it. ”
"So, keep that rule for now. Claire said, "Just to avoid these arrogant fellows from going into trouble with the world?"
"What trouble can they look for?" said Olivan disdainfully, "the powerful part of those people is more willing to abide by this rule, because they think that the transcendent should have the reserve of the transcendent, and that contact with the laity is simply self-defeating, and those who are not strong enough ......"
"They don't have the ability to find trouble. Claire preemptively said.
"That's right. Olifan admitted, "If they go out, it is estimated that they are not even qualified to surprise the world, there are still a few organizations in the world that are more powerful, such as the S.H.I.E.L.D., although they have not been in contact with them, but they deal with extraordinary events, those mutants, they are still very set, if those guys run into trouble, it is estimated that they will be in prison." ”
"I'm more inclined to slice studies. Claire said, "It's a common thing in comics. ”
"......" Olivan was a little speechless at Clea's brain circuit.
"In that case, why do we still have to follow this rule?" asked Claire, puzzled, as if it didn't make sense anymore.
"The man of the world was too ignorant before, so we avoided him, and now they ......," said Oliven after a pause, as if preparing words, "They seem to have overcleverly clevered." ”
Now the two of them have come to the terrace of the temple, from which they can see the whole of New York, watching the pedestrians on the ground shuttle back and forth on the road, but none of them can see the temple hidden in another space, and there is really some feeling of looking down on all beings.
"Do you know why this temple is able to float in the air?" asked Olivan.
"Because the magic array inside the temple has always maintained the floating magic of the temple. Claire replied.
"What does the magic circle rely on?" Oliven continued.
"New York is one of the largest magic nodes on Earth, and the magic circle gets energy from it to keep it running. Claire replied and said, "I've known this for a long time, and if you want to test me, you'll have to change the difficult questions." ”
"Hmph. Oliven smiled and said, "Do you know, if the world knows about the existence of magic, these energies will also be exposed to them." ”
