Chapter 119: The Beginning of the Arcane Age
"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is!"
Cecilia gently walked to a statue carved with the white horse knights charging in groups, the knights' fighting spirit tearing through the magical canopy, and slashing down the floating city scene that symbolized the authority of the ancient magic empire, stroked the rough stone sculpture with her hand, and said lightly.
"The Old Magic Empire perished from arrogance, and the classical mages of the Magical Rebellion failed with arrogance. And we arcanists won't repeat this mistake!"
"Reverence for nature, respect for power, and recognition of reality are the basic standards of our arcanists, and arcane is not a monopoly power, but a power of sharing and sharing, we are not conservative, nor closed, we welcome all friendly friends to share the power of arcane with us, jointly dig into the secrets of arcane, and broaden the path of arcane......"
Arcane is indeed a very enlightened school of magic, and magicians in the classical era regarded their magical skills as a secret that even apprentices had to pass through many tests and costs to gain a little inheritance.
But this is not the case with arcane, all the theories of arcane, all the principles of spell casting, and even the most cutting-edge research theories, are generously made public, allowing all the arcanists to browse and read, and they are not afraid that this knowledge will be passed on and learned by the enemy.
In order to spread and communicate the arcane, the arcanists of the Seven Kingdoms of the Strait even invented something called a "journal" and published the secrets of the arcane in it.
And the leader of the Arcane Federation, His Excellency Hamilton, the father of the Arcane, is a world-famous educational maniac, and as his title "Father of the Arcane", he prefers to deal with young people, especially children who have not grown up.
He has always believed that people's minds and thoughts can be educated, and thoughts and beliefs can also be passed on from generation to generation through the transmission of ideas.
That's what he thought and did, and that's why, under the influence of his ideas, the Arcane Federation attached great importance to the education and upbringing of children.
And it is this open-minded attitude that attaches importance to education has made the development of arcane arts flourish, and young geniuses have emerged one after another, and in just a few thousand years, more than twenty great arcanists have been born. The most outstanding of them are no less than the arcane pioneers of Hamilton and Cecilia.
And the representatives of these rising stars are such as the "Arcane Crown" Lord Vinston and the "Chaos Apostle" Lord Crane.
Lord Vinston's origins are unknown, but he first appeared in the Forsaken Lands of the Dark Mountains, a chaotic and wicked land of sin and sin that has gathered many magicians and dark creatures who have failed after the Glorious Age.
Lord Vinston was lucky enough to enter a mage tower left over from the Old Magic Empire, and learned the classic spell system of the Old Magic Empire from the tower spirit of the Mage Tower.
In the process of traveling the continent, he came into contact with the emerging arcane system, and after in-depth research, he was immediately attracted by this new magic system, and it was out of control, directly setting off a landmark magic revolution.
Lord Vinston, the "Arcane Crown", was the first master of the arcane system, and it was he who laid the foundation of the modern arcane spellcasting system.
He combined the magic pattern spell of the Magic Empire and the arcane mapping meditation method, and pioneered the fusion of the meditation space and the bloodline magic pattern, creating a "magic ring" system that casts spells with spell slots.
Before the "Ring of Mana" system, mages had to first construct a spell structure in their spirits, then inject magic power, and finally guide and release it in various forms such as chanting, rituals, gestures, and items.
This method of casting spells is very free, the only problem is that each spell has to be improvized, temporarily chanted, and temporarily injected with magic, just like before each shot, the gun must be assembled, gunpowder made, and ammunition filled, the steps are complex and slow. Only after a lot of hard training can you master the super magic skills of casting spells quickly.
However, those super-magic skills can only be mastered by those mages who are called geniuses, and most mages still have to honestly hold and chant spells when casting spells, which results in, in most cases, ordinary mages are slaughtered by knights of the same level in actual combat.
The "Magic Ring" created by Vinston is a combination of the meditation space in the soul and the magic pattern circuit in the bloodline, which integrates the spell structure and magic power to build a spell bit system that solidifies spells.
From now on, the arcanists no longer need to chant spells to cast spells, and only need a single thought to activate the solidified spells in the "Ring of Mana" to achieve instantaneous spell effects. In actual combat, it leveled the advantage of knights to release spells through combat skills and fighting qi simultaneously, and was able to pass the number of spells that far exceeded the knight's bloodline through mages, as well as the advantage of flexible selection of spells, once again forming an advantage over knights and other combat positions.
Master Vinston's contribution to the theory of magic may not be as good as that of Lord Cecilia, but the improvement of the entire mage casting system is enough to make countless mages worship him and call him the "Arcane Crown".
Of course, Master Vinston is not most famous for his achievements in the arcane, but because he is merry by nature, loves pink spells, and has created many ridiculous spells such as Vinston's self-esteem shield, Vinston wishful stick, Vinston golden left hand, etc., and his writings are widely spread in the mage world, and even many noble knights have quietly collected them.
His reputation in this area is even greater than that of a ***** from the time of the Old Magic Empire, who was known for his immorality.
As for the shy young man who followed His Excellency Vinston, although his reputation on the mainland was not as great as that of the two His Excellency. But in fact, he is the person that the Glorious Church has hated the most and wants to get rid of in the past few decades.
"Chaos Apostle" Klein, born in the ancient kingdom of Xibai, but because of the lack of affinity for magic, he has not been able to complete the tempering of magic and has been in the stage of magic apprenticeship. Because of these experiences, Klein is more able to understand the pain of the ungifted, so he has been working on the popularization of arcane arts, looking for ways to allow ordinary people to cast spells.
Crane recreated some of the achievements of the Old Magic Empire and proposed the Fluctuating Shock Hypothesis of Mental Power. He is unparalleled in the research of magic arrays, and has created a large number of magic guides that can be used by ordinary people, greatly reducing the conditions for learning magic.
He restored many of the best achievements of the Magic Empire, such as soul transfer, flesh cloning technology, artificial gem technology, etc., laying a solid foundation and framework for the development of arcane arts.
However, his greatest achievement was the achievement of religious theory, which he wrote=, united the existing religions of the ancient gods under a single system, and led to the establishment of the "Pantheon", a religious mutual aid organization against the rule of the Glorious Church on the continent.
