Chapter 31: The Mage's Testimony (Part II)
Higg was about to leave Rainbow Island, and it took him two years to complete the first and second layers of magic that other magic apprentices had taken ten or even twenty years to complete, and even Daniel and Nicole had benefited a lot from Higg's experience, each of whom had learned thirty or forty second-level magic skills. But the two of them had been studying earlier than Higg for a while, and now they were being chased by a big fight, and they couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
Higg had to leave, and there was no news about the fact that he had entrusted Thea to help find Jenny, and whether McCann had returned to Tilis, and he had no news in the past two years. The comprehension of the origin of the four systems of magic is not overnight, it depends on chance, inspiration, talent, and luck, and it is impossible to understand it when you sit down and meditate, otherwise there will be more magic guides in the world.
"Although the four magic origins are not overnight, in the magical environment of Rainbow Island, after all, there are many more opportunities, and so many magic guides want you to stay. Are you really sure you want to go? Nicole said.
"Magic is not all I have, everyone has their own thing to do, everyone should take their own responsibilities and have their own goals to pursue, otherwise, even if you are invincible in the world, what can you do?" Higg said slowly
"My goal is to be stronger, stronger!" Daniel said.
"After you are strong, when you are about to die, you find that you are only obsessed with magic to make yourself strong all your life, blindly asking for the world, but without any responsibility, giving back to the world, your strength only satisfies your selfish vanity, and then you will find that the stronger you are, the weaker your heart will be." "Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. I'm not saying it's bad to be strong, but when you're strong enough to take on what you deserve, there's no need to go overboard. I feel like I can do my part now, even if I know I'm not strong enough, but at least I've tried. So I'm leaving! ”
"Goal pursuit, responsibility?" Daniel wondered, "Are you going to save the world?" ”
Higg laughed: "When your loved one is in danger, the person who loves you or the person you love needs help, you can reach out and help him, that's my responsibility." ”
"I've figured it out, thank you Higg!" "I don't think it's time for me to graduate early." ”
"What did you say, Nicole?" Daniel jumped, "You're graduating early?" But what responsibility do you have now? ”
"What's not to do?" Nicole ignored Daniel and asked, "Higg, if I graduate early, can I follow you?" ”
"But if you graduate early, you won't get a mage's certificate!" Daniel said.
Nicole said, "Daniel, we didn't know a lot of things before, it's not that we didn't work hard enough, but we were too small. We were able to make such rapid progress after Higg came because he stood tall and looked far, and we saw farther in the direction he pointed. Can the magician's certificate be used as food and money to spend? Or can you show your card in front of your opponent and scare them away? ”
"Nicole, have you really figured it out?" Higg asked Nicole.
"I've figured it out, Daniel, what about you?" Nicole asked rhetorically, "Will you stay at the academy or will you come with us?" ”
"You two are not kind!" Daniel said helplessly, "The three of us are a squad, and it would be unkind for you two to leave me alone!" So, in order not to make your morals worse, I also decided to graduate early. ”
"I don't need to say anything about graduating early, tell those old men to go out and travel, where can't I learn magic, where I can't practice?" Higg laughed.
"Is this okay?" Nicole asked, "What if those wizards don't agree?" ”
"Try it! You don't even need a magician's certificate, and you can manage so many things? Ha ha! Higgle said.
…………
Lumanda Cottage.
"What, you're leaving? I disagree! Lumanda, who was assured, jumped first.
"Boy Higg, why would you give up the study of magic?" Abbas asked.
Higg said: "I never said I was going to give up, I just hit a bottleneck, I feel that I can't solve it in the magic academy, I want to go outside, travel is also an important way to practice magic, isn't it?" ”
"But you have just dabbled in second-level magic, and being in the magic academy also helps you understand the origin of magic, why did you give up halfway?" Smith persuaded.
"Here are the best magic academies in Middle-earth, the best magic towers, and the best wizards, and I don't know where it could be more suitable for you." ”
"I admit that there is the best magic tower here, the most powerful magician, but I don't think this is the best magic academy, I have a better academy to study," Higg said. ”
"What do you say, there is anything better in Middle-earth than our academy on Rainbow Island? You say, I can't say I want you to look good! Lumanda said in an airy manner.
"I also dare to say that the Magic Academy Fortress on Rainbow Island is ranked second, and no one dares to say that they are first!" Abbas was also angry.
Several people glared at Higg with angry eyes, but Higg said unhurriedly: "The best magic academy lies in practical life, in the sweaty hard work, in the desperate struggle to turn the tide, in the action of helping the needy, in the city, in the mountain village, in the wilderness, on the battlefield, and on the vast and ignorant adventure road. ”
Several old men were dumbfounded, they had never heard this kind of statement, this kind of theory, but was there any place to refute it.
Higg continued: "The wizarding world was born with the chaos of the world, but the wise sages created the magical world from scratch but came from the real world, and the creation of such a magical world requires two necessary conditions, one is that the sages of the real world can summarize wisdom from people's production and creation, and the other is that people need to change the world. Am I right? ”
Looking at the old men who were still dumbfounded, Higg continued: "The wisdom of the sages comes from the creation of real production and life, and the magical world they created changes the world and changes people's production and life creation, so as to achieve the common progress of the two. That's my understanding, and I don't know if I'm right or not.
"You say your magic academy is the best? It's an island, it's just because of the concentration of the creative magic skills of the sages that it has the best magic tower, but I don't think it's the best magic academy, it's the best magic skills museum! Higg scoffed.
After a pause, he continued to sneer and said, "You claim to be the best magic teacher, locked up in your magic hut all day long, constantly doing magic experiments, working behind closed doors, trying to contribute to this best museum, so that you can make a name for yourself, right?" Hehe, have you ever thought about what kind of magic skills are needed in the outside world? Do you know how many skills in the Magic Tower should have been thrown into the artifact pile? Do the magical skills you've created detached from reality make sense in changing the world?
"Hehe, what is created for the sake of creation, compared to what is created for the sake of changing the world, who is superior and who is inferior, hahaha!" Higg licked his lips with a dry mouth.
The four old men sweated like rain, and the more they listened, the more frightened they became, they who once boasted of standing at the pinnacle of the wizarding world, could not refute it, and their previous complacent achievements, the magic hut that symbolized status and identity, were worthless and useless in the face of his theory.
Oh my God, what kind of demon is this? It subverted all the sense of accomplishment and cognition in my life, and made me an idiot myself.
And this demon turned out to be just an eighteen-year-old boy.
The psychology of each of the four old men sighed like this.
After a long time, no one spoke, and Higg couldn't help it, raised his voice, and said: "Actually, I'm here to say goodbye to you today, and then I want to use your portal when I leave, hehe, teleport me to the magic guild in the small city of Dilis." ”
Abbas spoke first: "Hig, we know we can't stop you, and we don't have the right to stop you. But I just want to ask you, do you still admit to being from the Academy? ”
"What do you mean by that? I don't understand! Higg asked with a strange expression.
Abbas pondered for a moment and said, "If the Academy of Magic needs your help one day, will you still help?" ”
"I didn't say I was leaving the Academy, I was just traveling out of the blue. Besides, the Magic Tower still has a stake in me. Higg smiled, "There is something going on in the academy, and of course I can't do it." But if you want to expel me, say it again. ”
Abbas breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! The academy won't expel you, you can come back whenever you want! ”
Kateri also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Higg, the academy should have issued you a mage certificate as well, but you won't care if you think about it. Your words today are a shame to us, and we believe that your future achievements will be impressive. ”
"Don't forget to pay me on time," Higg laughed, "I'm going to take two more people, two apprentices, Daniel and Nicole!" ”
…………
Higg's compound.
"Higg, I love you to death!" Daniel said happily, "You've got us a mage's certificate!" ”
"I'm afraid that others will say that I kidnapped students who didn't graduate!" Higg said with a smile, "Besides, without this certificate, I'm afraid you'll show Nicole every day!" ”
Nicole also asked happily, "Higg, what about your certificate, did they give it to you?" ”
"They didn't give it to me!" Higg said with a smile.
"You're not uncommon, hehe!"
"Butterfly Caiyun, why are you coming with us?" Higg turned to Butterfly Cloud and asked, "The outside world is dangerous, so you might as well go back to your elven garden." ”
"The master is not afraid of danger, and neither am I!"
