"In the field of magic, there is no distinction between gods and mortals, only the amount of knowledge and the level of achievement......"

That night, the mages who were notified were surprised to find that they had actually appeared in the same dream, sitting in a large and bright circular staircase hall, able to communicate freely and maintain self-awareness.

This took a lot of effort on his part, and he needed to link together jellyfish of different sizes floating in rivers and oceans, suspended in the air, and piece together a complete group dream to achieve his goal.

The mages of Sidon City did not have much rejection of the god of magic in the mouths of Ivan and Damien, but were more curious, because after some communication during the day, the mages were surprised to find that in the past few days, they had basically seen the strange creature with a human upper body and a cloud vortex on the lower body in their dreams.

This is no simple coincidence or accident!

As for the few remaining doubts, they disappeared without a trace after Talos appeared and presented his views and opinions from a divine point of view.

"What you see in your dreams at this time is only a will that I have descended from the main material plane, and my true body is still in the Divine Kingdom Secret Hall of the Outer Plane. ”

"What is the main matter plane?"

Some mages questioned that they only knew the physical plane and the spirit realm, both of which were in different dimensions of the same space.

Talos stretched out his hand, and the dream evolved according to his wishes, and the vast sea of stars emerged, intuitively presented to the mage.

"The main material plane is the center of the entire universe, also known as the supreme plane, all planes revolve around the main material plane, if you are lucky enough, professionals from other planes can enter the main material plane to get more development opportunities......"

Next, the God of Magic introduced the three class systems of the main material plane caster, bloodline, and cleric, and the fifth-order system corresponds to the 25-level mage class level in the Thumb Realm.

Before the curse event, mages above level 20 were already rare and extremely rare, after the curse event, as far as they knew, the highest professional level was the chief mage of Pisa City, Scott, a level 18 archmage, and in the main material plane, an organization called the Nine Rings Council actually had nearly 50 legendary mages, all of whom were above level 20!

"Are they all your followers?" another mage asked.

"No, they're just a group of researchers with great curiosity and exploration about magic and the universe, and they can only be considered my followers at best. Talos shook his head in denial, "As I said, there are no gods in the magical realm, although the nature of my life determines my identity as a god. ”

"If I had to define myself, I could be a forerunner of magic, a great mentor, a beacon that guides the path of all the plane mage communities in the universe. In a way, I am no different from you, we are the same group, but I stand taller than you and see farther than you. ”

The mages were in awe, they hated a god who dominated the faith, but they would never reject a great forerunner who imparted magical knowledge and guided the path of magic to the mage community.

Seeing the look in the eyes of the mages, Talos knew that he had made the right move.

Mages naturally reject gods, just like him, a Naga who grew up in a magic family, even though he has become a bloodline knight, he still doesn't have much affection for gods, and he has no intention of believing.

In order to continue to live, in order to achieve his goal, Talos had to change his strategy, change his identity as "Creator Divine Envoy" and "God of Judgment", and instead appear as a great mentor who is more likely to gain the favor of mages, gain the respect and worship of the mage community, and then influence the common people.

This method, though slow and with a small number of faiths gained, is better than nothing, and is the best thing Talos can think of at the moment.

The conversation soon turned to the curse that the mages were most concerned about, and for a moment Talos felt very ashamed in the face of a pair of hopeful eyes, because he was not a god for his deception, he did not have the ability to lift the curse, and he was even more afraid of attracting the attention of the witch.

But in the next second, reason persuaded Shame, he would give guidance to the mages as he just said, he would gain the respect of the mages and the faith of the common people, and the Thumb Realm would gain spell development and survival opportunities, this was a fair trade hidden in the shadows, and no one was sorry for anyone.

Moreover, believing and following are two different things, and there is no shame in following the god of magic, who is after all the embodiment of magic, the master of knowledge, and the researcher and interpreter of the mysteries of the world.

Reason prevailed, and Talos continued according to the script: "Unfortunately, I can't help you lift the curse, first, as a god, I must follow the covenant of the gods and cannot directly interfere with the material plane, and second, what is in front of you is only a will, which does not have much power after descending through countless times and spaces. ”

Before the mages were disappointed or even despaired, Talos said, "But I can teach you magic, and I don't think the gods will accuse me of that." ”

Talos's own magical knowledge is insignificant compared to that of legendary mages, but as a Chosen One who has experienced two plane descents, he has made all preparations before descending his consciousness to the Thumb Realm, placing a large number of books and materials on bloodline development, martial arts training, meditation, and magical knowledge in the Magic Web Ring, Space Ring, and Table World.

"Great!"

"Thank you, great mentor. ”

The mages' hearts finally fell, and although they couldn't solve the problem once and for all, they were just as happy to have the guidance of a god of magic.

The curse came too suddenly, and before they could react to what was happening, the cockroaches, rats, mosquitoes, cats, dogs, and wolves that had not been taken into their eyes before all became natural enemies.

Even more terrible than a curse is the human heart.

Many mages and people who could not accept the gap and reality lost their minds, and launched a riot against the threat of natural enemies from the outside world, storming the palace, and the emperor and empress lost their lives in that riot, and the entire capital was in a state of chaos for a long time.

But the emperor did something wrong, and the culprit was clearly a witch.

The first year after the curse was the worst year for the Empire, as people lost their supremacy, lost their weapons, and fled in a hurry under the pursuit of behemoths.

At that time, even a rainstorm could take thousands of lives, countless precious magical materials were lost during that time, and many word-of-mouth spells were directly cut off.

It can be said that the level of magic in the Thumb Nation has not only not developed compared to a hundred years ago, but has stagnated, and some cities have even regressed in a terrible situation.

As for the "covenant of the gods" and "inability to directly interfere with the material plane" in Talos's mouth just now, although they don't understand what the specific content is, they also have their own interpretations, which are probably similar to the previous mages who went to the wild to find magic materials and encountered the natural cycle of natural selection and survival of the fittest, so they would not intervene too much.

"From today onwards, you go to bed before nine o'clock every night, and I will impart magical knowledge in my dreams, limited by laws and conventions, and there are places where I can't explain too clearly-"

Talos is a foreshadowing for the next class, God knows that he only has a first-order level, and when converted into a Thumb Realm career system, he is a level 5 mage, and he can only read the magic beyond the first order at most.

The mages expressed their understanding, with their current situation, they could celebrate for a while when they found a magic book before the curse event, not to mention the magical knowledge from the gods, it was too late to be happy, how could they dislike it.

Now that Sidon City has been decided to be the first city to develop the Faith, Talos doesn't mind adding some city garrisons, such as resuming summoning spirits.

"My will first descended on the spirit realm—where the abundance of magical energy allows me to stay in this plane as long as possible—and I found the traces left by the previous mages who summoned the spirits, so I guess you should be good at summoning spells. ”

By the way, it is clear that this will is constantly weakened and cannot last forever, so that the future departure becomes reasonable.

"But—" Ivan was a little apprehensive at the same time, "since we became Thumb Villain, we don't have enough mental power to control spirit creatures, unless we reach class level 15. ”

In the entire city of Sidon, there is only one person who has reached the rank of 15, and that is Ivan.

"What if the spirits themselves are willing to cooperate?" Talos gestured to reveal butterflies that shimmered with black and purple magical aura, "They will be the new summons of the mages of Sidon City." ”

"Level 3 Spirit Body Dream Eater, I've seen it on the Spiritual Oracle Illustrated Guide. "A mage said.

Oh, Talos mentally responded, it turned out that the scientific name of the butterfly that served as a carrier of his consciousness was the Dream Eater.

The mages exchanged views, before the curse event, the Dream Eater Butterfly could only be regarded as the most ordinary spirit, which of the high-level mages and archmages summoned was not a powerful spirit above level 10, elemental elders, light spirits, and nightmares......

But for the thumb villains, the level 3 spirit body dream eater butterfly is very suitable.

First of all, their level is not high, which means that the spirit power that needs to be paid during the summoning process is not much, and the summoning cost is within the acceptable range, if it is really willing to take the initiative to cooperate as the god of magic said, mages with a career level of 10 or more can restart the spirit summoning, which is undoubtedly good news.

Secondly, the Dream Eater Butterfly is a flying unit, and the palm-sized Dream Eater Butterfly can carry several mages at a time, and it can also be more convenient to contact the outside world, you must know that the last time you contacted Pizza City was a year ago.

The current world is still too dangerous for the little thumb people after all.
