524. Bad news?
The apprentice who was unruly before suddenly became respectful and humble, and the impact of this change on the other mages was even stronger than the tea juggling before, because they didn't see Bai Yi use his means or forcibly show his strength to suppress this apprentice, but just let him look at the tea in the cup, and he instantly changed into a person? When was it so easy to change one's mind?
The mages looked down at the teacup in their hands, but found nothing unusual, so they focused on the apprentice to know what he had seen.
"I saw the world!" The apprentice said with some excitement, and then in an impassioned tone, he told everyone about his previous experience, in the first few minutes, he felt as if he was incarnate as a god, looking down on the world from a high vantage point, starting from the garden at his feet, gradually pulling up, gradually enveloping the entire empire, and even the entire plane, until he broke out of the plane and saw the whole world composed of large and small planes.
If it is simply depicted in the way of the earth, it is a series of expanding long-range shots from the earth to the solar system, the Milky Way and even the universe, so as to show the insignificance of human beings and the grandeur of the universe.
"I feel the grandeur of the world and my own insignificance, please allow me to apologize for my previous arrogance." The apprentice bowed to Bai Yi again, and then obediently returned to his seat, no longer talking, but silently closing his eyes, quietly reminiscing about the previous visual impact.
"Illusion?" The apprentice's teacher, the respected Master Anaire, asked in a low voice.
"It's just a little trick." Bai Yi admitted very calmly.
Illusion has been invented in the ancient Rosser era, and there has been a certain accumulation, but compared with later generations, it is still much rougher, and the means of application are relatively simple, the key is that there are still some mages because of the ginger of thought, the concept of old and other reasons, sneering at illusion, thinking that this is a side-by-side way, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, such a view occupies the mainstream in the academic circle.
Such an unconventional trick should not have entered such a high-level and high-end seminar, so when everyone heard that Bai Yi had performed an illusion on an apprentice in public, it was inevitable that some people would whisper.
As a result, Master Anel overrode the public opinion and helped Bai Yi to justify: "There is no right or wrong in strength and skill itself, the key is the way to use it, His Highness used illusion to teach me a lesson for my stubborn disciple in a very subtle way, and the effect is far better than the reprimand of words." β
"Moreover, I don't see any after-effects of illusion in this child, his mind and spirit are quite stable." Master Anel continued.
The illusions of this era are not very clever, and many times they have to rely on mental shocks and other methods to interfere with the other party's thinking to barely work, and the sequelae and flaws are quite obvious, not as subtle as the illusions developed by the tricksters later, and the means of use are not so flexible.
Like the illusion that Bai Yi just cast, it is actually the latest illusion jointly developed with Nightmare and Businessman after the trickster pseudo-descended, which he named Real Dream, this illusion completely gave up mental interference and other means, but with the nightmare trick and the businessman's perception in psychology, he tried his best to create the most real sensory experience, which can be regarded as a new development direction of illusion.
It's just that the original intention of the development of this illusion is to let the students of the business school better sell their own goods, such as the practice works purchased from a few silver coins from the craftsman college, and then find a big boss and show him a piece of himself wearing this kind of training armor or holding a training weapon after sweeping away thousands of troops, so that the fat sheep willingly took out dozens of gold coins to buy this kind of thing equivalent to scrap.
This kind of trick that is basically equivalent to fraud is very common in business schools, because there are painters who like to take advantage of loopholes and play side balls as consultants, and various laws and regulations can't control them, so students in other colleges are often shy in their pockets, and even families have to rack their brains for high tuition fees.
Or to get back to the point, after using the latest sharp illusion to settle the apprentice, there were no more discordant notes in the room, and the mages were even more convinced of Bai Yi's methods, and the atmosphere he wanted to create was realized.
What followed was a relatively boring and boring academic discussion session, but because it was the first time everyone gathered today, Bai Yi didn't think about solving any substantive problems, but simply threw out the topics he wanted - one was about time; One is about the Ascension Circle, and then it just adds some guidance casually for the mages to discuss on their own, which is a bit of an academic discussion in college.
And these two novel topics are undoubtedly full of temptations for mages, both in the unpredictable and irresistible time; It was still a large-scale dimensional passage circle that had never been seen before, which made the mages have a strong curiosity, even if Bai didn't speak much, just concentrated on playing with Xiao Miya, and the mages who were ignited with enthusiasm would discuss and study on their own.
However, this kind of complex topic is obviously not something that can be discussed in a few words, and when it was time for dinner, Bai Yi interrupted the discussion, and hoped that everyone would go home and study for a while, and then get together to discuss after some preliminary results.
According to Bai Yi's preliminary estimate, there are obviously more people who choose time topics than those who choose the Ascension Circle, which is more interesting, obviously the research on time is more esoteric and obscure, and the Ascension Circle is better to produce results, but as a result, this group of guys actually chose a more difficult direction?
"Okay, we have to work hard ourselves, in order to get home as soon as possible." Bai Yi patted Miya on the head and signaled that it was time for her to go.
But Miya shook her head, shook off his hand, and said in that pleading tone, "Uh... Mr. Hope, I want to go see Lulu... May I? β
"Well..."Bai Yi also felt a little embarrassed for a while, although the future Lulu is similar to them in terms of identity, but now she is a small village girl, it is really a little difficult to do, not that Bai also has too much class consciousness, but this era and this society have such a clear distinction between superior and inferior because of its limitations.
At that time, Mia may still take Lulu as a sister, but does Lulu dare to be this sister?
"Don't worry, Lulu isn't that kind of person." Miya hurriedly grabbed Bai Yi's arm and continued to plead.
This little guy probably wants to take the opportunity to escape academic research, right? A thought suddenly surged into Bai Yi's heart, and when he was about to say something, a personal guard attendant suddenly ran in front of him, handed over an envelope, and said sharply: "Your Highness, there is an urgent telegram at the border!" β
"What?!" Bai Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly took the envelope, but when he was about to open it, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Wait a minute, why don't you give it to Your Majesty?" β
Tsk, this faint gentleman, because the painters have arrived, so they will leave these things to me? What about the courage and courage that led the raid on Canninus before? Is it all gone?
"Uh... Your Majesty already knows about it, and he asked me to pass it on..."The guard replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please make a decision before going to him for discussion." As soon as the guard said, he turned his head and slipped away, as if he was afraid that Bai Yi would suddenly go crazy and burn himself.
Bai Yi reluctantly turned on the emergency call, and after checking it, he couldn't help frowning, and said to Miya in a low voice: "There are several border towns that have been attacked by demons..."
"Thatβ" Miya suddenly showed a worried expression.
Bai Yi nodded helplessly, and said heavily: "The town we stayed in before has also been attacked, and the specific casualty statistics have not yet come out, and the border garrison has begun to organize forces to search and rescue and clear the enemy." β
Miya suddenly seemed to have lost her soul, and sat down on the ground, Bai Yi hurriedly grabbed her arm, forcibly pulled her to stand up, and continued: "Calm down, there is a high probability that she will not have an accident, there is still a place for her in the back of history, such an event of a demon attacking a border town often happens in history, she can survive it, and this time should be no exception." β
"But... Didn't you say that our intervention has the potential to have an impact on history? Will that beβ" Little Miya asked as she stood stubbornly and cried.
Tut... That's why I'm against you running to contact her! And why didn't you think of my warning when you were mixed up before? Bai Yi slandered in his heart, but looking at the little guy in front of him, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his little nose was twitching, just like a pitiful look like crying to you if you teach me, and the words he was thinking about were difficult to say.
"Anyway, let's calm down." Bai Yi said, casting a calming spell to forcibly control Miya's emotions, and continued: "On the bright side, there is a good chance that she will still stay in the mountain city now, because her parents have been dealing with the reception of the wounded, which is quite a time-consuming job, often a month or two to wait for the wounded to be stable, we have only been separated for two weeks, and they should not have time to return." β
