Chapter 6 - Junior High School Magic Textbook
The history of elves and humans falling in love and killing each other is not long, and in the Ming Dynasty, there are still only a few alien races outside of humans, elves, orcs, and dwarves...... The reason for the emergence of these legendary races is both unexpected and reasonable - they are all natives of the colonies that have been conquered by humans.
Dozens of centuries ago, humanity expanded beyond the Earth, and after a long and arduous exploration of the universe, they finally found twenty-seven habitable planets outside the solar system. However, the good natural conditions of these planets have made them the same as the earth to give birth to life, and these lives are extremely similar to human beings, and even gave birth to their own advanced civilizations.
There is no reason to speak between the aggressor and the invaded, and war may not be a means of solving the problem, but it can win an opportunity for negotiation.
In this part of the history, the history adopts the Spring and Autumn penmanship, and does not give a detailed account of the brutality of the war, but provides a brief number of casualties on each side.
Behind these staggering casualty figures, the war gradually turned into a war of attrition, and in the end, humanity's huge population base and ability to assimilate to other races led to their victory.
……
Zhu Biao closed the guide of the paper, a little embarrassed, and a little dazed that he couldn't find a reason.
No matter what others say, he always thinks that he is human, even if his current body has a trace of elven blood, but his soul is still a pure human soul. Therefore, he felt that he could not objectively look at the history of wars between humans and aliens.
Of course, the aggressor is not the righteous party, but as a descendant of the aggressor, enjoying the resources that his ancestors exchanged for their bloody lives, what qualifications does he have to make a god-like guidance? At the moment of life and death, human beings are not demons, and they will not abandon their own planets one after another to invade other people's planets.
He deliberately did not touch too much history after traveling, especially not to know what happened to the earth, which he could never return to, he preferred to think that it still existed in some corner of the universe, beautiful and fragile, silent but serene.
…………
……
Zhu Biao didn't indulge in gray love for too long, he was just a high school student, and it was not suitable to think too deeply about the problem, so he cheered up after a while.
He sent the stack of books back to the service desk, and borrowed a few more papers related to the elves, as for why he chose the papers, this is the experience summed up in the comprehensive volume of the book when he was reading: someone has picked out all the key points, supplemented them with analysis and understanding, and attached a bibliography, even if it seems obscure to read, it is better than groping around on his own.
Of course, these essays are not all advanced works, and some of them may be written by witty authors, so the focus of the choice is both surprising and hilarious.
For example, there is a paper entitled "A Brief Discussion on the Origin of Elves", which sounds normal, right? The content is imaginative. The article begins with a question: What does it mean that there are elves in the legend of mankind very early? Zhu Specimen thought that he would argue that "elves have been to the earth a long time ago and have contact with humans", but the author changed his style and replied: It shows that elves were born from the imagination of human beings, and they are the product of the combination of human brainwaves and ubiquitous cosmic energy, and they are the purest energy life forms!
What the heck!?
Zhu Biao hurriedly flipped through the author's name, remembering that his name was Liu Qingtian, and he could skip this paper directly when he met him in the future.
In addition, there is a paper detailing the magical talents of elves, which are different from the positioning of elves in human stories, they are not all archers and light and agile assassins, but each of them has extremely high magical talents, and the hybrid descendants of humans and elves may also inherit this talent, making it easier to become powerful magicians than ordinary humans.
Wait, what about magic and magicians? Zhu Biao felt that he had wasted a year and three months of dormancy, and he had never heard these things on the radio!
…… Or did he hear it but he thought it was a story?
He hurried to look for magic-related books again, and this time he quickly found them, because the classification of magic books was very clear: it was in the middle of the science department, physics and chemistry.
Zhu Biao looked left and right suspiciously, he couldn't understand this classification, and there were a lot of people reading books here, although everyone was in the dark, it could still be seen from their height and demeanor that they were very young, at most about the same age as him, and the child lying on the table was still doing his homework!
He sneakily floated behind the child, took advantage of his schoolbag to get stationery, and quickly glanced at the books on the table.
This is...... Textbook!?
"Junior High School Textbook Magic Volume 1", what a familiar title, what a friendly layout, and the physics textbook before his time travel is absolutely the same root.
The child took out a pen from his schoolbag and took out a book with the cover reading: "Complete Strategy for Middle School Students: Complete Strategy for Junior High School Magic".
Zhu Biao: "......"
Well, he thinks he probably understands that magic should be classified as a branch of science in Daming, and it seems that it is still a basic discipline similar to chemistry, physics, biology, etc., which can be learned by everyone, and the threshold for entry is extremely low, but not everyone can learn and learn well, and it is as difficult to become a magician as it is to become a physicist.
Zhu Biao left the diligent middle school student and followed the other short black figures with the flow, and sure enough, he quickly found the bookshelf of the elementary school magic textbook. By the way, it's amazing to look at the top of someone else's head instead of being looked at by someone else!
Turning the first page and reading the introduction, Zhu Biao became more calm.
Similar to what he had guessed, the introduction emphasizes that magic is a theoretical subject, and that the purpose of learning is to understand that seventy-five percent of humans are not gifted with magic and cannot actually use it in their lifetime. In the remaining twenty-five percent, some of them are gifted but lack the wisdom to learn magic; Others are intellectual, but not gifted enough to support him in the study of the intricacies of higher magic. Talents with equal talent and wisdom are rare, and besides, what is wrong with having that kind of ability?
It seems that although human beings learn magic, they don't pay attention to it, Zhu Biao thought, this kind of learning is more like "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent", after all, only unknown things are mysterious and terrifying, if everyone understands the principle of magic, then the alien race that is good at magic is no longer terrifying.
Thinking of the words that Bai Chang left when he left, Zhu Biao suddenly became a little curious, did he really have a talent for magic? What is "his heart"?
He flipped through a few pages, jumping through the table of contents and large theoretical knowledge, and soon found his first simple magic instruction.
This primary magic to identify whether human beings have magical talents, the first magic in the lives of all magicians of the Ming Dynasty without exception, of course, it can only be-
"Fireball".
