If you were to use words to describe the expressions on the faces of the archmages at this moment, there would be no more appropriate word than "a bewildered look". Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and Jenn, with a somewhat mocking smile on his face, just stared at the archmages without saying a word, and it was not until a moment later that the archmages came to their senses, and then Archmage Nicholas asked.

"Excuse me......... What do you mean by that? Your Excellency? ”

But this time, instead of answering Archmage Nicholas' question right away, Jenn shrugged his shoulders and asked the others an unexpected question.

"What do you think of the current Wizard Empire, compared to the original group of mages?"

"This ......... Of course it can't be compared. ”

Hearing Jenn's question, the archmages present couldn't help but look a little ugly, because this question was simply a naked slap in the face for them. Although the current Demon Empire is still unique on the Klein Continent, it is only in terms of the current level of civilization, if it is placed in the creation period or the first war between heaven and earth, then it is no different from the five scum of war. It can be said that the Magic Empire is simply the best ironclad proof that one generation is not as good as the next.

Of course, the archmages knew this, so they desperately dug up the remnants of ancient magic, chasing down those lost tricks and spells. But this kind of thing can only be done but not said, and even if it is said, it can only be said that it is to restore the glory of the ancient archmages, and to say it bluntly like Jenn is almost a provocation.

"Huh."

In the face of Archmage Nicholas's answer, Jenn chuckled.

"To be honest, I really can't understand it......... Why are the current mages still not as good as before? ”

"Because our Demon Empire has suffered countless hardships, Lord Lord........."

Although he was very unhappy with Jenn's question, Nicholas patiently replied.

"I think you probably know about our history............... too"

"Of course I know about your history."

Jenn unceremoniously interrupted Archmage Nicholas.

"But to be honest, this doesn't seem to me to be a reason or an excuse, your ancestors got magic from the demons in exchange for themselves, but only magic. Circles, the transmission of mana, the production of magic items, didn't your ancestors come up with it themselves after that? Isn't it? If your ancestors received a full system of magical knowledge from the demons, then what do you have to hesitate about now? Wouldn't it be okay to learn directly from your ancestors and make a deal with the demons again? Why didn't you do that? Well? Isn't it because even the demons don't have the complete set of magical knowledge reserves that can master human beings? ”

"This ..............."

In the face of Jenn's inquiry, Nicholas looked ugly, but he couldn't say a word to refute it, because as Jenn said, if their ancestors were from the demons to get the whole system, then they naturally didn't have to go so far to restore it, but the problem was that these knowledge were all figured out by their ancestors themselves, not the products of the demons. And they don't want to trust those demons too much, and they won't hand over the lifeblood of the mage to these demons.

"So what?"

Originally, Chris had a bad sense of Jenn, but now listening to his mocking words, he was even more furious.

"What does this have to do with what we're doing now!?"

"Tut-tut."

Hearing Archmage Chris's roar, Jenn shook his head.

"Look, look at you, your ancestors were able to build a system of magical theories on their own without knowing anything. But what about you? What else can you do other than dig clods in the ruins all day? What have you done for the world? ”

As he spoke, Jenn spread his hands.

"You guys didn't do anything......... You have a better foundation and more knowledge than your ancestors, and the magic of this age has not diminished compared to before, but you are only indulging in the little leftovers left by your ancestors, don't you feel ashamed? But it seems that you are not ashamed, so ......... It obviously didn't work, so 'they' decided to use this method to sober you up. ”

"Them?"

Before he could be outraged by Jenn's dismissive words, the archmage immediately grabbed the heart of what Jenn had described.

"My lord, what do you mean by 'they'..............."

"Since you are mages, you must learn to think for yourself."

As he spoke, Jenn reached out and pointed to his head.

"Think about it, whoever can do this, then who does it."

Hearing Jenn's answer, the archmages turned pale one by one, they are not fools, let alone stupid, there are only a few existences that can reduce the magic power of this world at will, and they can be known by consulting ancient books......... The oldest existence.

"What do you mean ..............."

"In the beginning, they put their hopes on the gods, hoping that they would be able to lead the world better in their place. Unfortunately, they were disappointed by the stupid idiots, and the rebellion of your ancestors led them to see a new direction, so they began to pay attention to the existence of your ancestors, hoping to see the future from the confrontation between the gods and the mages. But unfortunately, the Nine Sages are a bunch of stupid pigs, and you are not very smart, they are busy expanding their power and collecting believers. And you are busy playing in the mud in the ruins, and you are indifferent to what the world is like. Thousands of years have passed, and the lives of people in this world have hardly changed since they were thousands of years ago......... To be honest, if it were my knowledge, then I would definitely think that these idiots should be genocided. But here..............."

At this, Jenn paused rarely.

"It can only be said that the obstacles above may be too great, some people are mules, leading and fighting backwards, dealing with these people, only to make them feel the difficulties, they will learn from the pain and begin to learn to reform and change."

As he spoke, Jenn looked at the archmages in front of him again.

"Now, I think you should understand why it's the way it is."

“…………………”

As Jenn's voice faded, there was a dead silence and silence all around. At this moment, the expressions on the faces of these archmages were also wonderful, they had thought about many reasons, but what they didn't expect was that it would be this reason? Just because of this?

Just because of that, to make them bear such a price?

But the reasons that people come up with are speechless, for the sake of the future of the entire continent......... In other words, what about the whole continent, why let them decide?

Nonsense, because this continent was created by others, and all living beings, including human beings, are -- people naturally have the power to live and kill this continent.

"In my opinion, the existing system of the Wizard Empire is flawed."

Although the faces of the archmages were very ugly, Jenn looked even more unceremonious.

"Look at you, look at your apprentices, those mage apprentices with extraordinary talents, what are they doing? Once they've been taken in by the mage, they first have to learn the basics -- well, that's okay, but then what? Then they began to learn ancient magical texts first, and then plunged into the prospectless work of digging up ancient texts. And the whole magic empire is like this, archaeology, excavation, and then recreating what has been excavated to ensure ......... But these things that you have now are like treasures, which are what your ancestors played with back then, aren't they? I don't know if your ancestors would crawl out of their graves and beat you to death when they knew what you were doing. ”

"No more nonsense!"

Archmage Chris was already grumpy, but when he heard Jenn say this, he naturally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up with a roar.

"If we have the ability, we will fight with real swords and guns, although our magic empire is unbearable, but we are not at will to be insulted by others!"

"I also agree, if you don't have to fight, no matter how much you say, it's useless. Sometimes, you won't know your stupidity and vulnerability without pain. ”

To the surprise of the archmages, in the face of Archmage Chris's provocation, Jenn actually nodded and agreed with his statement, which immediately surprised the archmages, but the next moment, Jenn changed his words.

"However, I do not want to start a full-scale war, in fact......... I'm here to propose a competition agreement to you. ”

"Competitive agreements?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. (To be continued.) )
