Chapter 60

Almost immediately, as the apprentices of different identities were marked, the atmosphere in the entire apprentice camp immediately became tense. An invisible barrier is evident with the appearance of the gold, silver, blue and white four-color markers.

Obviously, the caster's family background, who has been exposed to the nobility of the mage since childhood, and the young apprentices who have received the education of the mage, are full of contempt and disdain in the face of those apprentices from warrior families, wealthy merchant families, and even mud farmer families who have never been exposed to extraordinary power in their lives.

In the same way, the apprentices from the warrior family, although they are not as proud as the apprentices of the mage family, but after all, they have been exposed to extraordinary power since childhood, on the one hand, they are full of desire and yearning for the power of the mage, and on the other hand, they are full of superiority to ordinary mortals who do not even have extraordinary power, they are the most sensitive group to rank and class, and they are also the group that most identifies with this system full of contempt chains and class differences.

As for the children of merchants, scholars, craftsmen, craftsmen, and farmers, they live in a world ruled by mages, and all they have heard and seen is the power of mages, the greatness of mages, and they are naturally full of yearning for the power of magic. But without systematic education, this yearning is only an instinctive yearning for power, a yearning for the high position of a mage, and an ignorant curiosity about mysterious powers. Their minds are the purest and purest, and they retreat and hide in fear when they encounter the contemptuous and hostile gazes of those apprentices who are from higher backgrounds than them.

Looking at the increasingly distinct camps, the mentor wrapped in dark red shadows nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is a bit of a look, magic is the power reserved for enlightened people." It is only when you realize the value of power, and the price it comes to attaining it, that you are truly qualified to use the power of magic. ”

"Remember, the Empire does not raise waste, and the glory of magic does not allow waste to be tarnished!"

"Only the best, the best, and the most in line with the spirit of the Empire are qualified to pass the trials and become true mages of the Empire. ”

"Out of your one hundred and thirty-five apprentices, there are only three apprentices at most who will have the opportunity to don the 'Blood Moon Robes' and become an official mage of the 'Crimson Moon' Mage Tower. ”

"Privately, you have plenty of time to get to know each other, understand each other, and prove who is most qualified to wear the 'Robe of the Blood Moon'. ”

"Now, I'm here to teach you what true magic is......

"Now, memorize every word I say, and for those fools who can't remember, I'm not interested in repeating it a second time - a fool with a bad memory obviously can't be a good mage. ”

"I'm not here to teach you how to wield a wand, how to mix potions, how to use gestures correctly to pronounce spells, or how to use fireballs to burn glass...... Naturally, there are other stupid, unsuccessful fellows to teach you. ”

"What I am about to teach you is the core of a magic, something that a mage should be engraved in the heart of his soul and never forgotten. ”

"What is magic?"

"Where does the magic come from?"

"What can magic do?"

"These three questions are the fundamental questions that a mage should always torture himself in his heart. ”

The voice of the mentor wrapped in a dark red shadow grew louder, and even the color of the dark red shadow that enveloped him became bright red.

"What is magic? Dominating the four elements, calling on the forces of nature, summoning otherworldly life, or is it confusing people's hearts, dominating the necromancy, changing the earth and sky at will? or erecting towers, building golems, summoning meteorites, dominating the stars and the power of the earth, or even lifting cities into the sky, alongside the stars?"

"No, these are not, none of this is the essence of magic, these are just manifestations of magical power. ”

"The power of magic comes from our hearts, from our thinking, from our souls, from our perceptions, from our interactions with the world. Magic is the miracle of our free consciousness interfering with the world, the crystallization of wisdom and knowledge!"

"The mages of the Elemental School believe that the world is made of elements. The four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind constitute the cornerstone of the world, and the colorful phenomena of the world, from the stars of the universe to the plants, trees, and insects, are only an insignificant state of the four elements in the endless movement and change of form and nature such as evolution, evolution, transformation, transformation, and fission......

"The mages of the astrological school believe that the essence of the world is the stars, and the triple starry sky of the real starry sky, the destiny starry sky, and the real starry sky is like an overlapping curtain, supporting the entire universe. The stars are the eyes of the firmament, the reality of the world, all phenomena in the universe are nothing but the aggregation and evolution of stars, and even the human body itself is formed by the aggregation of infinite star destiny points, each star destiny point is closely related to a star, and the infinite universe, from the largest to the smallest, from the extremely macrocosm to the extremely microcosm, is actually nothing more than the cycle of infinite stars, galaxies, and nebulae......"

"The mages of the school of spells believe that the essence of the world is runes and true names, that everything in the world has its own place and name, and that the universe has been governed by the most basic creation script since the beginning of creation, and that it has evolved and differentiated under the drive of the creation process, evolving and differentiating into infinite languages and scripts. There are 'names' in the world, and then there are infinite sub-categories and classified names because of 'names', just as there is the concept of 'horse' first, and then there are entities of 'white horse', 'black horse', 'war horse', 'heavenly horse', and 'pegasus'......"

"The mages of the séance school believe that the essence of the world is consciousness and soul, and that all things have spirits and all things have knowledge. Everything in the world, from the stars of the universe, to the mountains and rivers, from the human spirits, to the cattle, sheep and red deer, all have souls. All things in the world, and even all things in the universe, are part of some great and unspeakable root, and the spiritual son flowing from the root is reduced to become all things in the world, and all the phenomena in the universe are nothing but the perceptual experience of the spiritual personality rising and falling, and the spiritual child convection......"

......

"There are twelve schools of magic in the Empire, each of which has its own understanding of the world, magic, and self. These understandings are the philosophy of magic that permeates the foundation of every school of magic, the crystallization of the exploration and thinking of countless mages, and the consensus of magic, the world, and self-awareness in countless practices!"

"Although you, as an apprentice, are still far from touching the essence of magic, thinking about the nature of magic should now permeate your magical learning and penetrate into the core of your thinking. ”

"Twelve schools of magic, each party has a different understanding of the world, magic, and self, you have to choose carefully, only the school of magic that best chooses your own ideas, can you go further on the road of magic......"
