Chapter 988: Heavenly White Pagoda Visiting Group (Part I)
Contacting the Wizard Country was something Fang Zheng had thought about a long time ago.
Because the situation in the Overworld is different from other worlds.
According to the situation in many online articles, the protagonist generally gets something from another world, and he can't wait to hide it for the rest of his life without being known, or simply do it himself and gradually show those things in this world. There are many concerns, such as the fear of being misused and threatening, or the fear of losing one's trump card, or being found to be seen as an outlier by others.
But mages in the Overworld don't have so many concerns.
The reason is simple, they are used to it.
In the Overworld, many high-level mages will travel to the plane with nothing to do, they use magic to travel to the astral plane, and then travel from the astral plane to various planes, and from time to time they will bring back some civilization creations or knowledge belonging to other planes to share.
It's just that many times, the characteristics of other planes are too unique, and the things they bring back have no reference value for mages in the Overworld. However, some of them are also useful, such as the anti-gravity circle used by mages to build magic warships, which was brought back from other worlds by a mage hundreds of years ago and improved for use in the Overworld civilizations.
That's why Fang Zheng deliberately brought these things back from other worlds and gave them to the White Tower.
It's really because the protagonists in other online articles need to worry about the problems, and Founder doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Fear that the proliferation of technology will cause civilization in the Overworld to become more violent and dangerous?
Hehe, the legendary mage of the main world can destroy a country with a flip of his hand, and it is not contaminated with radiation, and I don't know how high it is higher than a nuclear bomb, and I am still worried about this? It's good that the nuclear bomb won't move its nest in the silos, and you can be a mage who knows where it will run when the teleportation technique is turned on.
Worried about being seen as an outlier?
However, it's a pity that the world crossing of the main world is not the privilege of the protagonist, and the great mages——— especially the high-level mages, and the legendary mages like to run around through the full plane of the astral plane, looking for the source of knowledge or the truth of the universe, even if the mages of the White Tower discovered Fangzheng's "crossing" ability, at most they would be amazed a few words, and then what should they do.
What's more, there are so many races in the main world, and there are also so many races in the outer plane, what angels, devils, mind-snatchers, elves, dwarves, frost giants, which ones are not aliens?
The Mind Flayer still eats people's brains, can you try it in one bite?
You don't even dare to eat your brain, and you're embarrassed to worry that you'll be seen as an outlier?
Of course, there is another main reason why Fang Zheng did this, that is, the current Overworld is already in the early stage of the Magical Industrial Revolution, and he doesn't mind letting these mages learn more about other worlds and accelerate their own civilization level.
Although magic and technology have different emphases, the development of civilization itself is a process of trial and error, and even if it is different, the goals of development are almost the same, as far as power is concerned, of course, the main world will not be stupid enough to engage in the engine of the technology world, magic energy is much simpler and easier to use than electricity. But even so, those mechanical designs and fabrication products can give these mages some inspiration and generate more ideas.
Just like Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon", Verne at that time could only think of using a super large-caliber cannon to launch a person in a cannonball onto the moon. This may seem ridiculous to later generations, but Verne was able to write this on the basis that humans first recognized that they lived on a circular planet and that the moon was the closest planet to them.........
In the Middle Ages, although there were cannons, who would have thought of hitting the moon with cannons? Because they don't have this knowledge base!
As for whether this knowledge is applicable, Founder is not worried.
Although he often complains that this is unscientific and that it is not scientific, but that is just a complaint, materialism is not not a belief in cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, but an objective understanding of the world. To put it simply, the more you know, the easier it is to understand and understand the world objectively.
For example, the resurrection of the dead, in the Middle Ages, it would definitely be associated with various feudal superstitions, but if modern people see it, their first thought will definitely be the T virus, of course, the T virus itself is just nonsense, but at least modern people will first think that this is some kind of virus or biological effect, rather than immediately thinking that it is the resurrection of the dead or possession of the dead.
Why? Because there is no evidence of this.
On Earth, we don't really see ghosts, capture ghosts, observe ghosts, dissect ghosts, and understand ghosts, so it's considered non-existent. Because you don't have any evidence to prove that they exist, except for some hearsay urban weirdos, so they don't exist, and that's quite simple.
The same is true of the gods and the devil.
Maybe one day, according to the development of our science, we can observe creatures in other dimensions, and maybe we can discover the "souls" that really live in other dimensions, and then we can change the textbook to that point. Materialism is not religious, and holding on to a little unrepentance is a fanatical crusader, not a qualified materialist.
And conversely, it is normal to have demons and undead in the main world, why? Because we can see the devil and the undead with our own eyes, and we can catch them, and even dissect them, analyze them, recognize them, and even fight them, then their existence is normal and reasonable.
It's scientific and materialistic.
It can even be said that the mages of the main world are the most "materialistic" group of people, perhaps more "materialistic" than the educated modern people on the earth, after all, many people on the earth once they see something beyond the scope of their common sense The first reaction is that they can't understand and accept it, but for the mage, they have seen all kinds of strange things, even if they are rare and rare, they can understand and accept its existence.
This is also one of the reasons why Founder will be very relieved to send these things to the White Tower.
As for the second reason......... Quite simply, he wants to raise the level of civilization in the Overworld as soon as possible.
Although the message of the Goddess of Order that was being found above the moon before is vague, there is one condition that is obvious——— that is civilization of the main world must first have the civilization level to break through the atmosphere and carry out interstellar travel, in order to be eligible for the message of the Goddess of Order.
And this can only show one thing——— the danger beyond the stars is far above this, and being able to carry out interstellar travel is the minimum necessary condition.
If we don't raise the level of civilization in the main world as soon as possible, will it be impossible to let Fang Zheng be the savior alone?
Knowledge can be used to supplement the lack of foundation, but industrialization is still the most important, so Founder turned over all kinds of power systems and machinery from his free world, and gave them to Baita, and even included an F22 and Typhoon fighter planes, as well as high-precision lathes and various processing instruments.
Of course, what will the "owner" of these items think, Fang Zheng doesn't care at all, and sends them home directly for the New Year, and his own amoeba is still waiting for the opportunity to show his skills.
Hollywood loves to save the world so much, and Founder also has a chance for them.
Anyway, Hollywood's so-called "world" and the country of the square have nothing to do with it.
Of course, the White Tower, who had received the benefits, also responded quickly, and soon, a team was quickly organized, and then took the magic guide warship and sailed in the direction of Golden Bay.
Sitting on the couch, Mary looked at the people around her, feeling a little embarrassed by each other.
As Douglas said, the White Tower is quite "caring" about Founder, as can be seen from the composition of the team they sent. Representatives from the eight factions of Plastic, Prophecy, Spells, Enchantment, Illusion, Necromancy, Defense, and Change are gathered here.
Moreover, they are all people that Mary is familiar with.
Sitting on the sofa on the other side, dressed like a noble lady, the girl with curly blond hair is the representative of the illusion department, Emma. Delian, in the White Tower, the illusion department has always been quite outstanding with its exaggerated and unique beauty, and the Delian in front of him feels as eye-catching as a peacock with the screen open.........
But narcissism is also a characteristic of illusion mages, otherwise, why would they learn illusion?
In fact, Emma is indeed an eldest lady, which is actually rare in the White Tower, because although magic is indeed magical, it is also very boring.
This is actually the same as those scientists on the earth, everyone feels very handsome when they look at their inventions, but just look at how many experiments and records they have to complete every day in the laboratory and on the computer, and they are as tired as dead dogs. Of course, some top students must enjoy it, but for most people, if they study number theory and conjectures for a year, they may be bored and want to jump off the building.
Most of the mages in the White Tower have very ordinary family conditions, and they are eager to change their fate and way out by learning magic, so even if the study of magic is very boring, they can grit their teeth and endure it.
For the children of the nobility who came from well-off families, learning magic was not as attractive as they might think, but there were exceptions.
Either someone is really interested and likes this very much, or he is so gifted that he can learn something that others may not be able to grasp in a few years.
No setbacks, no failures, smooth sailing and happy from beginning to end, this kind of thing most people can't think of, but some people are geniuses, what can you do?
And Emma. Delian is such a genius.
She first came into contact with magic when she saw an illusion cast by an illusionist at a family dance......... Most illusionists spend their days brightly on aristocratic gatherings or special effects to performances.
To put it bluntly, many illusionists are actually no different from special effects artists.
Intrigued by the colorful and beautiful illusions created by the illusionist, Emma began to enter the White Tower and join the illusion faction to begin her studies.
At that time, many people thought that this eldest lady might not be able to endure any hardships, and she would not even be able to survive the life of an apprentice. As a result——— reality surprised them this genius girl had risen directly to the level of the Fifth Ring Mage almost smoothly, and was currently marching towards the Sixth Ring.
If she can really master the Six Rings spell, then she can be regarded as the backbone of the White Tower.
However, even now, many of the mage apprentices who entered the White Tower at the same time as her are still hovering in the ranks of the low-level mages in the first, second, and third rings.........
In a way, this is really infuriating.
However, when Mary looked at her carefully, she saw that this Miss Delian put down the teacup in her hand and looked at everyone around with a smile.
"Guys, it's boring to sit like this, why don't we talk?"
"What do you want to talk about?"
Hearing Derian's words, Mary frowned and asked. Delian, on the other hand, smiled slightly, looking at everyone thoughtfully.
"Well......... We all know very well why we were sent out, so let's not hide it, why don't you all talk about Mr. Zheng's thoughts? ”
