The lesson of this day was magic, and the instructor of the class, Darko, was also familiar with Wendy, who had deliberately greeted him before. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wendy was still in the same spotless dress, floating to the podium at an unhurried pace, scanning the entire classroom.

Wendy's gaze swept over Darko's position, but he didn't stop, and Darko guessed that Wendy probably didn't recognize him, after all, there were more than a dozen people in the entire classroom wearing cloaks. Darko felt that he was quite low-key, not so that he would attract too much attention.

When the lesson began, Darko listened carefully to the boring theories, but his mind was thinking about the plan he had conceived.

The so-called knowledge that enlightens wisdom in a dialectical way is itself only a manifestation of different dimensions of thinking, and there is no right or wrong. As for magic, it is not only to explain the magic we use from different perspectives, but also to explore its nature, causes and laws, so that it can be used in a wider range.

"Contrary to what most people think, the discovery and exchange of magic was far older than the formation of a state, and it was only later that there was a period of 3,000 years of low due to the extinction of the demons. Magic, on the other hand, began to rise after the races other than the demons learned and mastered magic. Perhaps it is because of the innate superiority of the demons in magic that they disdain to delve into the problems of magic, and for them to cast spells is as natural as eating and sleeping. And we, the human race, naturally don't need to think about eating and sleeping.

"In the cycle of war and peace, people find that there may be common laws behind the politics, art, and economy of different regions, and the same is true of magic. But discovering a fact never makes sense to explain a fact. The earliest nature believed that water was the beginning of all things, that everything that was born from water returned to water, and that the earth floated on water. This doctrine attempts to reduce the world to a particular substance, and the world is an infinite cycle of that particular substance.

Since then, there have been people who have repeatedly suggested that the world is air, fire, and earth. But this explanation is quite superficial, using the phenomenal world to explain the essential world, so Isaac's school unified it, believing that the world is an abstract number, from the number to the form, from the form to the matter, and everything can be measured, which laid the foundation for the standardized and measurable quantification of modern arcane. Isaac believed that the world was constantly changing, in a unity of opposites. Beneath the chaotic façade of countless planes there is a rational order, a necessary rule, and an essential idea.

"When it comes to the uniqueness of the essence, then the problem arises. Since it is believed that there is only one essence of the world, it means that there is only one god in the world. If there are more than two gods, then it only means that there is a more perfect supreme god above them, and they have created it in imitation of this supreme god. But this raises a new question, so what are the gods that people believe in? In the discussion of the teachings of Miranda, the first true deity of the Ameitian plane, it is pointed out that he is the different aspects of the most perfect one, from the most imperfect one to the one who shares honor with God, all share the grace and reason of the most perfect one, and the world is still united in a common essence. The belief that there is a unified nature of the world has since been the consensus of scholars and mages throughout the ages, and what magicians need to do is to discover the abstract laws behind the phenomenal world, so as to glorify the gods and benefit people, which is the theoretical basis of the magic revolution triggered by the Great Leap Forward of magic three thousand years ago.

Although many magicians later changed from monotheists to naturalists to legalists, the understanding of the essential laws of existence in the world is still a common presupposition of all major sects. Magicians who don't believe in this presupposition, because they believe that the world is chaotic and have no unified laws, naturally have no motivation to study, and the genre they inhabit is gradually eliminated.

To briefly illustrate here, Kabbalah emphasizes the divine origin of man and sees a return to the origin as the goal of the movement of all things. And the core of Kabbalah's thought is embodied in the depiction of the law of derivation, his law of derivation symbolizes the relationship between all things in the universe, depicting the descent of the entire universe from spirit to matter, from infinite perfection to finite defects. This process of descent is the process of separation from God and the continuous depravity. In this process of degeneration, man begins to have reason, to become aware of himself, to distinguish between good and evil, and from the point of view of the descent, the derivative law is the tree of good and evil, the tree of knowledge. From the perspective of reverse retrospectiveness, the law of derivation embodies the process of self-redemption and return to the original.

Thus, the law of derivation contains the origin of all things, the most essential secrets of the world, and the meaning of all history, from which magic comes from. Medieval magic comprehends the law of derivation through the study of the demon language, so that one's spirit gradually approaches the origin, the closer to the origin, the more able to transform the energy of the outside world into its own magic, and the more skillfully use this magic to contact the outside world and produce the so-called magic.

However, Kabbalah discovered the magic circuit, turned the study of the law of derivation from the outside world to man himself, and discovered that man himself already contained some of the secrets of the law of derivation, thus realizing the third turn of magic. We can think of the magic circuit as a simulated nerve, with a vein similar to that of the law of derivation, through which the magician draws energy from the outside world and converts it into his own mana. Everyone's magic circuit is different. Different magic circuits cause different characteristics of individual magic power, and the talent for mastering magic is also different, and magic circuits are somewhat similar to bloodline inheritance, those big families are more familiar with the general context and magic characteristics of their own family's magic circuits, so they show proficiency in the use of magic power, so in the traditional concept, magicians are very particular about their origins. The veins of each person's magic circuit are part of the derivative law, Kabbalah believes that everyone's magic circuit is connected to the entire derivative law, and people are aware of their own magic circuit, and from there, they can connect the derivative law, so as to get closer to the origin and obtain more powerful magic.

Speaking of which, students familiar with the history of medicine, history, and arcane science may find that the change in the direction of magic research is similar to the change in botany and zoology. Anatomy turned the study of zoology to the inside of the human body and established modern therapeutics, the discovery of the four single elements turned to modern arcane science to the microcosm, and long before the magic revolution, it began to turn to man himself, through the study of his own personality to understand metaphysical entities, and Dekang aimed to understand the world with the purpose of studying man himself. This historical similarity may also be part of the law of derivation. Whether it is a metaphysical entity or the law of magical research, it is actually the mystery of the law of derivation. It is only the closer one gets to the top of the law of derivation, the better one can understand the world.

"Traditional magicians learn inscriptions through their understanding of the demon language, and modern magicians explore the principles of the magic array through the study of magic circuits, and in the end they all end up in the same way. However, there are still some classical mages who are accustomed to using spells, and disdain to be in the company of loop mages. Some of the Circuit Magiers believe that the old antiques who eat dust and read ancient books in the library every day should be mummified by the necromancer. ”

……

Wendy uses clever wording to make the theory easy to understand and to take into account her identity as the Tempest Lady. Some of the statements that contradict the teachings of the Church of the Storm are mostly in concise language, but they allow students to understand the corresponding explanations.

However, Wendy's attentive narration still can't change the boring nature of the class itself, and the dull atmosphere runs through the whole lesson. The lesson begins in the ordinary, spends in the dull, and ends in the dull. Until the end of the class, all the students ran out of the classroom, after all, the class was too torturous. Darko was the only one still sitting in his seat, waiting for fewer and fewer people in the classroom, and when Wendy was about to leave the classroom, Darko greeted him.

"Nike Remmons, do you have any magical questions that I would like to answer?" Wendy asked as she saw Darko approaching and smiled at him.

"How can you recognize me?" Darko asked, even though he knew he couldn't hide it from Wendy. After all, Darko was not the only one wearing a cloak in the classroom, most of them were believers in the Dark Church, and there was nothing special about this cloak, Darko didn't believe that Wendy could identify him by his size.

"Intuition. Wendy put on a look of not telling you, and prevaricated with such an excuse.

"......" Darko was speechless, but he felt that it was better to put this matter aside for now, after all, the business was important, "I want to ask you a few questions." ”

"Please. Wendy was noncommittal.

"The Church of Stormwind should have studied the flow of the monsoon, right? I wonder if the monsoon at high altitudes flows between the San Diego School of Magic and the Burning Swamp, and if so, if it has anything to do with the season. Darko hurriedly asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time.

Wendy's eyebrows furrowed, and she replied with a smile, "It wasn't related to the course, I'm sorry, I don't know." ”

Darko immediately became anxious, "How could you not know?

"It's the Stormwind Church, not the Skua Guild. Wendy was still smiling, but her attitude spoke for itself.

"You!" Darko froze.

"Me?" Wendy gave a look on her face what can you do to me, and even raised her body slightly, making Darko go from looking up to looking up.

Dacko froze for a moment, then turned and walked away, ready to leave.

"The circulation wind that San Diego passed through was strong enough, but it was blowing in the direction of the northwest coast, and it was necessary to make a big circle at sea before returning to land, and it was possible to pass through burning swamps. However, if an object with no power of its own power floats with the wind, there are many factors involved, and it is not necessarily that the wind will definitely float wherever it goes. ”

Wendy's voice came from behind, causing Darko's footsteps to stop all of a sudden, and he hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Why?"

Wendy beckoned, and a stream of air swirled around her, rising and sometimes decreasing, with no regularity, but generally it was still circling around Wendy.

"The wind is the breath of the world, just like people, can you guarantee that every breath is of the same intensity?"

Darko shook his head, "Definitely not." ”

"So the wind in the plane is also irregular, and it is possible to be blown anywhere, at best, it is only a probability. ”

Darko looked down and thought for a while, then said to Wendy, "Thank you, I see." ”

Darko was about to leave, but was stopped by Wendy, "Have you asked a question, are you leaving?"

"Anything else?" Darko wondered, and Bright became wary.

"There are contacts and contacts, and I will ask you a question as well. Wendy didn't wait for Darko's answer before asking, "Would you like to visit the Temple of Prophecy in St. Pryface?" ”

"Temple of Prophecy?" Bright took over directly, "What are you going to do there, why should I go with you?"

Seeing Bright's changes, Wendy's eyes lit up, "Everyone has some needs that they can't do, and the best person to turn to is the gods." However, the gods are stingy, and divine grace is never cheap and cannot be overdrawn, except for the god of prophecy. ”

Bright asked rhetorically, "You are the Holy Maiden of the Storm Church, what do you need that you can't ask the Storm God for help?

Wendy smiled silently, but had already answered Bright.

"Why did you find me?" in fact, Bright was concerned only with this question.

"Because you have the same needs, and besides, you won't tell my secrets, because no one will believe them. ”

Wendy's smile was consistent, but it made Bright feel that everything was under her control, which made Bright very unhappy, so he said directly, "I won't go to the Temple of Prophecy, and I won't accompany you, you can find someone else." ”

Darko turned around and walked out of the classroom, but Wendy's voice was brought into his ears by a gust of wind, "It's a long time coming, why do you draw conclusions so early." ”
