Connor's gaze slowly fell on Coco's body, and after looking up and down, he put down the book in his hand, smiled and nodded, and said, "It's nice to meet you, Miss Coco." Seeing that you rely on Garcia so much, I know that my students must have done a good job in the past three years. ”

Connor slowly got up, and his slightly slender figure immediately overwhelmed Arrow and Coco from their height.

However, this figure did not last long, as if a good friend had come from afar, so he wanted to be entertained, pushed the books on the ground a little, and then piled some thick books together to form two seats, patted it, and said with a smile: "Come, sit." Garcia, it's really a shame that you've been able to know my schedule for three years, and you've been able to find it here. ”

Arrow grinned and said, "After all, I've been in Lao Tengshu for five years. But your habits haven't changed since then, so I'm able to find them. ”

It's been a long time since I've seen him, and Iero is excited to talk to his teacher about the guild he has held in the past three years. For Coco next to him, this is simply an expression like seeing a new continent!

After all, the president of his own family, who has always behaved very smart and self-controlled, would now talk so much about such a thin looking older man?

When talking about Coco herself, Connor's eyes fell on her. The little girl was suddenly stared at by his eyes, and the slightly melancholy aura naturally made Coco's face red, and she couldn't help but lower her head, not daring to look at it again.

After picking out some important things that would not involve too dangerous things, Arrow also began to turn around and ask about the news that had happened in Lao Tengshu in the past three years, and he was also concerned about how his teacher was doing during this time.

Connor smiled, saying something inconsequential. After this greeting was over, Connor finally nodded lightly and said, "So, you're here to participate in the Guild Championship Battle this time?" You kid, why did you come to me instead of training right now? I don't know how to fight or do magic, so I can't teach you anything. ”

Arrow covered his mouth, grinned, and said, "Teacher Connor, look at what you said, can't I come to see you if there's nothing I can do?" I arrived yesterday, and I will come to see you today immediately after registering, which is enough to see your status in my heart! ”

Connor had a smile on his face, but he also shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "You kid, you're still so eloquent. Alas, at first I was worried that after this year, you wouldn't get used to it...... But for now, you should be able to take care of yourself. ”

The expression on Arrow's face froze for a moment.

He didn't tell his teacher about the thousand gold coins, but now that he heard Connor take the initiative to mention the events at the end of the year, the cheerful aura he still had with him couldn't help but subside.

"Huh? Garcia, what's wrong with you? ”

Connor said as he took the glasses off the bridge of his nose slightly, wiped them, and wiped them.

Arrow thought for a moment, and then he suddenly asked, "Teacher, in fact, I really have a question I want to ask the teacher this time." Do you think it's possible that we, ordinary people, can live happier lives without relying on the magic of magicians? ”

Hearing this question, Mr. Connor, who had always kept smiling, gradually froze his smile.

After the smile faded, the older man's eyes showed deep concern and concern, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Love...... Eero Garcia, why did you come up with this? ”

Arrow shook his head, looking very resolute: "Teacher, you have always said that I can ask you any questions directly. So now, can you tell me your answer without listening to my reasoning, relying solely on your judgment? ”

Looking at his student, Connor's face looked a little hesitant. After pondering for a long time, the teacher got up, took down a copy of "Basic Applications of Modern Magic" from the bookshelf on the side, opened it, and said slowly while reading—

"Magic, or rather...... The magic element is a substance that is ubiquitous in nature. Although we humans can't see or touch it, since the existence of this world, the magic element has become a part of this world, guiding the development and growth of our human race. ”

"We humans also belong to a kind of nature, so sometimes very accidentally, a certain magical element will be very partial to a certain human being, and there will be a certain resonance with this human being. This allows these humans to perceive these elemental spirits in a unique way. Subsequently, through a long period of exploration, we humans gradually understood how to use these magical elements, and how to make these elemental spirits change into the way they want to be according to their own minds. This is also called magic. ”

Turning the page, Connor looked at the paintings drawn by the ancients in the books, and said slowly—

"Mastering magic is a big step forward in our human productivity."

"Once upon a time...... It may be that in the past even more years than the first year of the era, we humans still had to rely on hoes to plow the land. There may even be a time when we humans can only dig a hole in the soil with stones and scatter the seeds. ”

"But with magic, we humans don't have to work so hard. The mages will plough the land, rain will fall, and provide plenty of sunshine. ”

"These humans, favored by the elemental spirits, can also block rivers, encourage plants to grow, and light up the night. Even in the face of war, they can be turned into the most terrible weapons. ”

"It's because of magic that our lives are so good."

"It is precisely because of the existence of those magic and magicians that the world can continue to thrive and reach a living environment that may have been unimaginable to humans more than a thousand years ago."

"Our cities can be built by magic, and the utensils we use every day, the clothes we wear, the food we eat, and even the means of transportation are all mixed with all kinds of magic."

"And the powerful magical ability can even be said to have reached a point that we ordinary people can't even imagine in eternity - time and space."

"The most powerful magicians are rumored to be able to control time and travel freely into the past or the future. And a magician who has mastered space can create a town out of thin air that can provide a hundred lives on a grain of soybean. ”

"So...... Garcia. ”

With that, Connor slowly closed the book in his hand, and handed it to Arrow, and said in a slightly reassuring tone—

"Actually, it's not that magicians can't do without us ordinary people. In fact, on the contrary, we ordinary people cannot do without magicians. Whoever has the power to create something better will have more to say. Didn't I teach you that? ”

Arrow took the book and looked at the beautiful cover on it, with its large gold characters and flowing text lace embroidered with dark lines, all highlighting the powerful role of magic in this world.

But...... Holding the book, Arrow thought for a moment before speaking again-

"Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are part of every aspect of our daily lives."

"Magic can weave incomparably tough, not afraid of fire, not dirty, yet incredibly light silk threads that can weave the most powerful magical garments. However, these clothes were only available to the wealthiest people. We ordinary people may not be able to buy enough magic thread to sew a sleeve with the money we make in our lifetime. ”

"In some places, the abundance of food can be said to depend entirely on magicians. Without these magicians, the people there would have to starve and live miserable lives. But even so, people still stay in that place and refuse to leave, and refuse to go to a place where the soil is more fertile. Simply because the magic can provide a more secure abode. ”

"Where to stay...... yes, a building made of magic. There are quite a few such houses in our college. But in other words, this kind of house is still unaffordable for ordinary people, and it is impossible to live in it. ”

"I also know that some wind mages can fly in mid-air with unique magic spells, and maybe even make magic items that can fly in mid-air. But it's also expensive. ”

Arrow put down the book in his hand, raised his head, looked at the teacher in front of him with a slightly confused expression, and said: "In this way, the so-called food, clothing, shelter, and transportation can only be satisfied by magic, and the top 20% of the entire society will always be satisfied...... Even only ten percent, or even less. For ordinary people, it doesn't make a difference in itself whether or not there are these magicians, does it? ”

Connor didn't show any annoyance in the face of the question from the student who had graduated for a long time, he just nodded lightly and said with a smile: "If you just look at the appearance, it is true." But Garcia, it is because of magic that we humans are able to stand out from this nature and create our own civilization. It is because of magic that we are able to defeat those terrible monsters and allow us to recover from our injuries as soon as possible. It's like this member of yours, Miss Coco, the Necromancer. When you formed the guild, I believe this young lady must have contributed a lot of strength, right? ”
