A colorful holiday has passed, and I return to school and return to my old life. Ivan wanted to collect some dried leaves and straw for experiments on papermaking, but unfortunately there was no lime here, and it is unknown whether it was not found or not. The idea of experimentation could only be postponed slightly. Let's look for relevant information first.

Opening the borrowed "History of the Development of the Afterglow Kingdom", Ivan quietly reads it, and understanding history is an important way to understand the world.

The Kingdom of Afterglow was originally a mage gathering area in the Lands of Chaos. There are dozens of families, large and small, as well as a large number of scattered magicians. It is jointly ruled by several major magic families, and the entire power is also one of the giants in the Land of Chaos.

In the year 2598 of the old calendar, which was the year set by the original magician, Peter Paladin led a group of people to flee to the Chaos Lands and lay down a territory in the Forbidden Demon Zone of the Chaos Lands. The Forbidden Demon Zone is the largest Forbidden Demon Stone Mining Area in the entire continent. The Forbidden Demon Stone can naturally interfere with the operation of magic power, and is the nemesis of magicians.

However, only a large number of forbidden magic stones can be effective, and small ones can only be effective if they are touched. Originally, the forbidden area was the territory of a group of orcs, and the orcs only relied on the strength of their bodies to face the magicians and were always passively beaten. However, the natural forbidden area has become a paradise for them.

Peter Paladin led the warriors to gnaw down the orc tribe, and then grew to establish the Dawn Kingdom. Later, the Kingdom of Dawn was supported by the Cult of Light to wage a holy war and sweep through the Chaos Lands. And the Magi Force is no exception.

In the year 2968 of the old calendar, that is, in the year 302 of the Dawning calendar, the Dawning Kingdom launched a full-scale war against the forces of magicians, and the war was once stalemate for decades.

The battle against the magician, known as the Battle of Miracles, begins. The mage's invincible magic tower defense suddenly failed, the most powerful Black family was defeated in a battle, and the second-ranked upper echelons of the Eza Scar family were killed in battle, and the rest fled nowhere. The Aurora army began to exterminate the expelling mages on a large scale. A large number of small and medium-sized families have completely disappeared, and scattered magicians have fled.

The remaining major families led more than 20 small and medium-sized families to surrender to the Dawning Kingdom and fought for the Dawning Kingdom, and later after the establishment of the Holy Empire, in order to appease the magician group, they canonized the Afterglow Kingdom, with the Wright family as the royal family.

This is really a valuable history book, but Ivan always felt that something was missing, and some key things were vaguely brushed aside. For example, how did the magicians defeat in the first place, magicians have always been a high-power group, and the magicians' lair has countless magic arrays, how could they be defeated once? There must be some secret in this.

There is also the fact that the Ergas family has been able to successfully escape, as the strongest Blake family, why did it disappear directly, the magician has always been known for its strange and changeable methods, and it is impossible to have no backhand.

After the establishment of the Holy Empire, it once vigorously suppressed magicians. Former magicians are recorded to be cruel and bizarre, and to have conducted all kinds of inhumane magical experiments, and the common people under their rule are like livestock. After the suppression, the magic of this land has been somewhat sluggish, the number of mages has been greatly reduced, and there have been no more powerful mages.

This situation did not improve until the Holy Empire canonized the Four Kingdoms and the Afterglow Kingdom was established. More than twenty old magician families have developed and restored the original eleventh magician group. Later, the Holy Empire went to war with the Locke Empire, and the lack of magical power led to the defeat of the Holy Empire. It was only after the failed Holy Empire re-emphasized the power of magic, and mages gradually rose.

In the past, magicians were all family or master-apprentice inheritances, but the new magic system has changed to the form of an academy. The kingdom funded the establishment of a magic academy, with members of the royal family serving as the headmaster, recruiting outstanding magicians as teachers to collect and compile magical cultivation content.

Finally, there is the recruitment of cadets, the children of the nobility can enter for free in the early days, the children of the rich can study as long as they have a talent for magic and pay the tuition, and the ordinary people can sign a contract and serve in the army after graduation. Once the deed is signed, it can be supported by the state.

After the establishment of the Kingdom of Afterglow, there were some developments and events from time to time. After that, Ivan didn't pay any more attention, just looked at it casually, and went back to sleep.

However, one day of holiday, the students did not seem to have retracted their thoughts, and they were all talking about how they spent their Sundays. It took the teacher to correct the discipline several times before it improved.

Monday night is Teacher Lucia's tutoring time, and hopefully in a few days, it won't be a matter of concern.

"Good evening, Teacher Lucia, I miss you for a few days. ”

"Rhetoric, less useless words, more understanding of life, you will not be so ignorant. ”

"Didn't I go out yesterday to experience life? I went to the bookstore and borrowed a history book to read. Ivan knew that she was no longer angry when he saw that Lucia was no longer angry.

"You still read history, it can't be some heroic legend!" Lucia didn't believe that a child would have the patience to read history.

"This teacher, you underestimate people, I watched it late yesterday, which caused me to be a little sleepy today, ah~" After speaking, Ivan yawned.

"Don't fool me, my grandfather was a history buff, and although I wasn't interested in history, I knew a lot. ”

"The History of the Development of the Afterglow Kingdom, the only interesting thing is the part of the war between the Dawning Kingdom and the magician, but unfortunately it is only a joke. Will the war that has lasted for decades be ended by the arrival of St. Peter? I don't think it's so mysterious. ”

"I've heard my grandfather mention something about this, saying what kind of forbidden magic weapon and the betrayal of a certain family, I don't know much about the specific situation, I have the opportunity to ask my grandfather. Lucia couldn't help but feel a little proud when she mentioned her grandfather.

"Oh, you have a learned grandfather, is he also a magician?"

"An erudite magician, I don't even know what other realm he doesn't know. Lucia said in admiration.

"So powerful, you have to see and see when you have the opportunity, I admire the erudite person the most. ”

It's a pleasure to talk to knowledgeable people, you can know a lot of things you don't know, and you can gain a lot of knowledge.

"If you have a chance, he is also from the academy, but he rarely sees him. ”

It's actually a person from the academy.,It's rare to see it.,It must be a high-level person! I didn't expect the beautiful female teacher to still have a background.。 I have to hold the teacher's thighs firmly, oh no, it's beautiful legs.

"Although I don't know much about what you said, but there is one thing Ivan you said wrong, the top powerhouses really have the ability to change the war. I don't know how powerful it was, but my grandfather lamented the power of St. Peter, saying that he was like an earthly god!"

"That's the best, there's no great future, and I don't want to learn any magic, so it's better to go back and do business with my father. ”

Hearing the news, Ivan was very excited, without the exclamation and worship of ordinary teenagers, and some just yearning. Lucia couldn't help but be amused by Ivan's big words and serious looks.

"Okay, the strong man in the future, you better come back to your senses and concentrate on tutoring. Becoming a real magician is your goal right now. ”

"How can you mortals know my ambition......s! Let go, it hurts!" Ivan, who had a stinky fart, was sanctioned by ear-pulling magic.

"Magical symbols and trajectories are actually words of magic. Because of its similar texture, it is called a magic pattern by magicians, and the academy is named after magic symbols and tracks for your convenience. To become a powerful magician, these things are the real foundation. Your progress is fast, I'll take you to learn a little more, and only when you have mastered these basic magic patterns can you officially cultivate. ”

Indeed, whether it is meditation, magic cultivation circuits, or magic, they are all composed of magic patterns, and magic patterns are the methods of controlling magic power.

Lucia took out a book with the words "Elementary Demon Pattern Encyclopedia" written on it. Ivan reached out to take it and take it, but the answer was empty.

Lucia said solemnly: "This is a real magic book, and it is actually a magic tool to say that it is a book. It's my personal stuff, I was a gift from my grandfather when I studied magic, and if you break it, you'll die. And don't talk about it!"

"Promise to be careful and never spread the word!"

Ivan took the magic book and felt that it was extraordinary, there was a clear flow of magic power, and his elemental sense was strengthened a lot. When I opened it, I only felt that there were inexplicable words shaking.

"The eyes see with the help of mental power. ”

Ivan concentrated his mind and tried to mobilize his mental power to see, and he felt that everything in front of him became clear, and at the front was a magic pattern, and then its function and some uses. Clear and detailed, for a moment Ivan was obsessed with it. I don't know how long it took, Ivan suddenly felt dizzy, and his hand involuntarily tapped his head.

"Close your eyes!"

Ivan quickly closed his eyes, and it took a long time to calm down before he came back to his senses, but he was a little tired.

"Your mental power has been overused, I didn't expect your spiritual power to be so huge. Normally, a student like you can't last five minutes, but I only lasted ten minutes, and you watched it for half an hour! ”

Lucia was surprised and a little excited. "It seems that the teacher has picked up a treasure, you have to study hard, it is not in vain that the teacher helps you so much, and you have to make a big contribution to my teaching performance evaluation. ”

"It turns out that there is also an evaluation of the teacher here, but I didn't expect it. Ivan rubbed his temples, still a little dizzy.

"Of course, otherwise what else would you use to evaluate the teacher's ability?"

"Anyway, aren't all scrolls used on the center of the eyebrows, and magic books are used to read?" asked Ivan, puzzled.

"How can the strength of the magic scroll be compared to the magic book! The imprint of the scroll is weak, and your mental power is also weak, you can't use it if you don't stick to the center of your eyebrows. And the imprint of the magic book is strong, and the students can barely use it. ”

"Does it make a difference?" Ivan didn't hear the difference, didn't they all use it?

"The difference is bigger, the eyes are the windows of the soul, and the spiritual power is more receptive with the help of the eyes, and the vision is clearer. And it is ugly and inconvenient to stick it on the forehead. ”

It's ugly, that's the point.
