Chapter 15 A true gem

A true treasure is never easily revealed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The mage walked through the library area on the third and sixth floors of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, and couldn't help but think of this ancient elf proverb - when she first came to this huge library where the elven civilization of the First Age was preserved, she only wanted to find the right mid-level spell in the collection, and this paranoia almost made her miss out on the truly valuable knowledge.

Now it seems that the Elven Archmage gave her a month's free access to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge was not at all for her to come here to memorize mid-level spells - in the Mage Guild, there was clearly a better way to learn, and it was undoubtedly much more convenient to exchange points for spell books there than to search for them here.

But unfortunately, she noticed this a little late - until just now, when she was looking for the spell of atmospheric concussion, she stumbled across a codex left by an unknown mage - although the owner of the codex was only a mid-level mage, many of the insights and conjectures about the aether in it were very insightful, and people felt that after reading it, they felt bright. It's rare to see her from the era of great development and prosperity of spells in the game in her previous life.

After reading it, and praising the talent of the Codex's original owner, she remembered that although the spell system of the First Age was still in its infancy, it had two unparalleled advantages over the eras that followed. One is that the mages of this era are pure explorers, who dedicate their bodies and minds to the cause of exploring the ether without regrets; The second is that in the First Age, the primordial elves still stood on the earth, as the first beings born from the ether, their understanding of the ether is the most profound, and the early mages were all taught by them, and many of the mages' thoughts have a very deep connection with them.

All in all, the spells of the First Age may not be brilliant enough, but the continuous research and efforts of the earlier mages laid a deep theoretical foundation for the improvement and creation of the spell system in later generations. In terms of the exploration of the origin of the ether, there is a big gap between the second era when mages were oppressed and the third age when wars were raging. Perhaps only in the middle and late Fourth Age, when the mages have recuperated and ushered in a new round of great development and prosperity of spells, can they completely surpass their ancestors and move forward again on the road of exploring the ether.

Of course, the Age of Enlightenment is destined to come a long, long time later, and for now, the First Age mages are undoubtedly the most profound in their theoretical research on the origin of the ether. Even if there are occasional mages of the school who are obsessed with research and have risen to the fore in a certain field and achieved more achievements than their predecessors, on the whole, the intellectual legacy of the mages of the First Age is still coveted by all mages.

And the thirty-sixth layer of the ancient tree of knowledge in the Elven Forest is likely to be the last relatively complete place on the continent where the theoretical system and theoretical thinking of the mages of the First Age period are preserved, and this place is a treasure that can be encountered but not obtained by any mage, and its value is almost immeasurable. Even though Monia has a vision far beyond her time, she still craves the legacy of the First Age mages.

If she can have the opportunity to see the classics of the former sages, it will be an opportunity for her to transform.

Maybe you can't see it in a short time, but if you deeply analyze the views of her predecessors and understand their way of thinking, it will be of great help to her to be promoted to archmage and even legendary mage.

Everyone only sees the dazzling aura of a legend, but ignores the corpses that have fallen on the path of truth. The predecessors used their lives to verify conjectures and test spells, and their names were annihilated in the long river of time, and only the results they exchanged for time and even their lives were used and remembered by the mages.

On the badge of the Mughal school, the motto left behind is that the founder of the school, the Mughal who stopped at the high level because of his talent, believed in the supreme truth throughout his life - "The inheritance of knowledge is greater than the glory of the mage".

This inheritance is undoubtedly the best tribute to those martyrs.

Shaking his head and putting his heavy thoughts aside, the mage picked up a codex and opened it. After realizing the true meaning of the elven archmage, she gave up the original goal of remembering the middle-level spells, and followed the icons inside the ancient tree of knowledge to the top - the codex left by the best elven mages of the First Age was stored here, which was enough to make any mage crazy, and it was valuable knowledge enough to move the legend.

Although she didn't know why Moya trusted herself so much, she was in no mood to think about it now, and for her, it was the most important thing for her to squeeze out all her free time to watch the sparks of wisdom left by the sages here. Even if she spent an entire month in the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, it would be difficult for her to comprehend all that was here - not to mention comprehending half of it, it was already a remarkable thing to be able to comprehend half of it, this was the pinnacle of the First Age Theory's achievements, as long as she could comprehend the knowledge contained in it, the path of the Archmage would be paved in front of her.

After experiencing the path of her true name, Monia is not 100% sure of breaking through the archmage, but it can also be said that she is full of confidence, but the gap of legend runs through her, so she doesn't know what to do. It can be said that as long as she understands the knowledge and thinking contained in these codexes in front of her, she will have a clear understanding of the invisible boundary between the legend and the archmage, laying a solid foundation for her future breakthroughs.

Although it seems that it has only just broken through the middle level, it is a bit fantastical to go to see the brainchild of the First Age Archmages, but Monia's breadth of knowledge is unmatched in the world. Whether it is the era of spell explosion in the game in her previous life, or the opinions of legendary mages in the path of her true name, she has experienced them all, not to mention standing at the peak of the archmage in that completely realistic holographic game in her previous life, maybe the foundation is a little lacking, but the vision is real - you must know that even in the game, she can decipher the codex left by the ancient archmage.

So many mysterious encounters have created the sensational background of the little mage, and before he was promoted to the high rank, these backgrounds were just some invisible and intangible knowledge. But once Monia becomes a high-level mage, after a period of sedimentation and digestion, her strength is enough to crush the mages of the same realm, and even the archmage will be sideways.

In the final analysis, a mage is a profession that relies on knowledge, and the profound accumulation required for the learning and creation of powerful spells and incredible spell-casting skills is required, without a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge, even if the high-level mage condenses his own mental world and is lucky enough to become an archmage, his path on the ether will end here.

The mage is never a puppet of magic, a slave of violence, obsessed with the appearance of power, and will certainly not be able to reach the true peak.

Monia, who has seen in her previous life, naturally does not make such a mistake, she has always been on the right path, maybe she can't see the difference now, but the long time will speak for itself.

For Monia, time is not a problem, the bloodline of the primordial elves has an almost infinite lifespan, although the era of chaos is the most chaotic period in the continent of Aarons, but now, the curtain of the era has just opened, the feast of the gluttons has not yet revealed its hideousness, as far as an era is concerned, there is still a lot of time left for her.

The premise is to survive the catastrophe of the Elven Forest.

It is impossible for the elves to restore the kingdom without shock, not only the eastern kingdoms that believe in the old gods will intervene, but the major chambers of commerce involved in the elven trade will also take risks more or less because of their own interests, meddle in the political situation of various countries, and affect the final decision of the kingdom between the two god systems. It was foreseeable that the battle was destined to be extremely tragic, and a mid-level mage like her or other low-level professionals would not be able to affect the direction of the war at all.

However, in the history she knew, although the outcome of the Elven Restoration was unknown, judging from the important position of the Elves in the Aether camp in the game, it should have been a success if there were no accidents. It was with this established history as a reference that she finally made up her mind to leave the City of the Eagle in Lorentan and come to the Elven Forest......

Even if Monia has the foundation laid in the game in her previous life and has walked the path of the legendary mage's real name, the codex left by the archmage of the First Era is still a little difficult for her now, and she needs to devote herself to it in order to parse the information contained in the seemingly ordinary data little by little.

She didn't think much about the problem just now, her consciousness sank into the ocean of knowledge and the world of books little by little, and she completely forgot the passage of time. Equally unsleepable and uneaten was Esveta, a young mage who loved art and books, and was so immersed in her own world that she didn't even hear the last bell that marked the end of the opening of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.

The library area of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge is located in the belly of the ancient tree, and the light in the room does not come from the sun, but a luminous plant cultivated by the elves, under the cultivation of the elves' spells, this small potted plant can not only provide the mages with the soft light they need to read, but also keep the air fresh and smooth.

Thanks to this, when night fell, the two did not notice it at all.

The two of them, who couldn't even perceive the passage of time, naturally didn't know that not far from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, there was a slightly bloated figure with unhurried steps, but it was approaching here like a ghost in the mountains.

ps: The state is not very good, every day in front of the computer to enter information, but fortunately, to be able to zero distance contact with cultural relics, although it is ungraded.
