Chapter 1226: A Mage Who Belongs to Humanity
Surrounded by greenery and surrounded by elements, the Magic Tower stands quietly in the middle of the city!
If the Tree of Life is the root of the Forest Elves, then the Magic Tower is the root of the civilization created by the Forest Elves.
Its importance and special status have made the tower not only a landmark of the city, but also a sacred place in the hearts and minds of the forest elves.
Magic, which emerged from here, also created a magical civilization from here!
Although, in the beginning, not a single tower was erected here. It was just an ordinary and special house in which the first mages studied the mysteries of magic. In the time that followed, the magic of the elves was born from here, and they entered the forest elves. In the days that followed, as the knowledge of magic continued to be created and the number of mages increased, the elves continued to increase and widen the size of an ordinary house. Since then, the Magic Tower of Magic has been formed!
At that time, the forest elves were not able to predict the distant future, and they did not know that the simple act of construction at that time had created the most sacred academy and site for the forest elves.
To this day, magic has long been ingrained in the forest elves, not only as a special knowledge and culture, but also as a symbol of strength.
No elf dares to forget the apocalyptic cataclysm that took place a thousand years ago. The great flood that swept the world destroyed most of humanity and everything, and the elves survived by the power of magic. Since then, magic has become a unique symbol of the supreme power to protect the homeland. The elves, who value magic more than anything else, have seen a rapid rise in civilization in just a thousand years because of the power of magic.
Whether it is civilization, architecture, clothing, food, etc., because of the emergence of magic, it has entered into diversification. These have changed the living habits of the forest elves thousands of years ago, and these are the results of successive derivatives of magic.
Today, a special graduation ceremony was held inside the Magic Tower.
Humans, a race that has been discovered by the forest elves and are officially trading with humans, using human hands to obtain a steady stream of magical resources for the elves. For various reasons, the elves opened up and spread magic to humans. Now, in the place where magic was first born, eight human mages dressed in elegant, elaborate and beautiful mage robes depicting elves are standing quietly in the center of the auditorium. Enjoy the blessed eyes from the tutors and students.
At that time, eight carefully selected mage apprentices from millions of human populations had studied hard for more than ten years. Their accomplishments were recognized by the elven mentors who taught them, and they were officially declared to have completed their studies and could become true mages to travel the world. Rather than staying in the tower like an apprentice.
After more than ten years of studying and living in the magic tower in the country of elves, these eight human mages have already become accustomed to the lifestyle and habits of the forest elves. On their bodies, the traces of human beings have become very faint, whether it is behavior, or daily etiquette, or even living habits and ways of thinking, etc., they have become infinitely close to forest elves. On the body, there are heavy shadows and traces that belong to the forest elves, which are the influences and changes brought about by their study and life in the past ten years.
They speak the language of the forest elves, write the elven script, wear the elven costumes, eat the elven food, and learn the elven etiquette...... Except for their human appearance, they are almost forest elves. Because, it is difficult to distinguish what is different between them and elves in terms of language and living habits. After more than ten years of teaching and training, the elves are not only deliberate, but also necessary, and they have passed on magic to humans, which is not a completely selfless act.
The eight human mages standing in front of him, the elves were the things they had planned before they went to the human world. In the past ten years, they have successfully taught eight excellent human mages, and they have also succeeded in getting the results they want. Now, when these eight human mages dressed in elven costumes and speaking elven language stand in front of them and receive their blessings. In the hearts of every elven mage, a special emotion that is indescribable and inexplicable emerges.
In the beginning, the elves taught humans with ulterior motives; The elveing of the eight human apprentices was also their intention. However, more than ten years of uninterrupted getting along and teaching. Every elven mage has watched these eight human apprentices come into contact with magic bit by bit under their teaching, learn magic, and grow into an excellent stage today. Every elven mage felt a surge of pride in their hearts, and they were pleased to see the current growth of the eight human disciples.
In their hearts, at the same time, different emotions arose for these eight human disciples!
Looking at the human disciples who stood straight and maintained strict etiquette at all times, I felt the powerful magic power in their bodies, and looked at their eyes full of wisdom and elegant temperament. In the heart of every elven mage, at this moment, there is no calculation, no ulterior motives, and some are just pride, gratification and reluctance to teach the disciples with their own hands.
“…… Over the past decade or so, the eight of you have used your wisdom to achieve results that are recognized by us. In the realm of magic, you have each achieved something that we are proud of. Although the realm of magic is as profound as the sea, I hope that the eight of you will continue to learn in the field of magic in the future. Continue to explore the mysteries of magic and dig into it to the extreme......"
“…… In the name of the Elven Mage Council, we hereby formally confer on the eight of you the title of 'Mage'. Now, bow to the Teacher who taught you! ”
Eight human mages standing in the center of the auditorium, with serious and sincere expressions, with the noble etiquette of the elves, saluted the teacher who taught them magic and the knowledge of their race. Then, the eight elven mages walked out one after another and left their seats, each of them followed by a mage apprentice, each holding a box in his hand. When the eight elven mages stood in front of their respective human students, they looked at their apprentices with a smile and a satisfied look.
Then, from the box held by the mage apprentice who followed them, they took out a delicate and ornate medallion-like thing and wore it on the left chest of their apprentice.
"This is your closing gift, and the Elven Mage Council's recognition of your achievements and honor!" That's what every elven mage says to his students.
And the eight human mages looked at the thing on their chests and felt the strong magical aura coming from there. They understand that this is not only a symbol of honor and elven recognition, but also a powerful magical object. And at this moment, being recognized by the Elven Mage Council, and being recognized by the Council as their mage, they knew that they had bid farewell to the title of apprentice and achieved the same status in magic as the elven mages!
Although, they still need to keep learning and studying magic.
However, when they are learning magic, and their creators are acknowledged by their current achievements. The heart of every human mage is full of pride and honor, but also accompanied by sadness and reluctance. Because according to the regulations, they will leave the realm of elves and return to the human world after bidding farewell to their apprentices and completing their magical studies.
This is really an unbearable fact for them, who have long been accustomed to everything in the Elven Country!
