Chapter 1075: The Rise of Academic Wizards
In contrast, most of the mortals who were highly agglomerated and cohesive to form a country were mostly solitary and maverick loners in the beginning.
And when the apprentices are apprenticing and being taught by the mentor, they mostly live in the tutor's home. The place where they are is not known to mortals, but is shrouded by them with enchantments. In turn, it blocks the misguided entry of mortals, and also blocks the conflict with mortals. Most of the wizards at that time kept a certain distance from mortals, did not participate in the lives of mortals, and did not hinder mortals. Although, among them, there is a secular regime, which uses interests and power to entrap a group of wizards to serve the government and the royal family. The wizards of that stage were called court wizards by other wizards who did not accept the envelopment of the secular regime.
Although the actions of the wizards eventually aroused the disgust and expulsion of the secular government, it did not have much impact on the wizards. They are loners themselves, and the expulsion of the secular government does not hinder them. They are still living their lives, and mortals can't easily find them, and even if they do, most of them can't do anything with them. When it comes to wizards, mortals have enough reverence, both before and now.
In such an environment, most of the wizards went to sea far away, and a few remained, but the vast majority of wizards chose to settle and live in the vast area between the Old World and the New World. Unlike that long history that has long been changed, the New World in the Age of Discovery was only North and South Central America, excluding the Caribbean and the many small islands scattered across the ocean, and Oceania was different. The Age of Discovery, which unfolded in the New World, did not fade with the passage of time and the growth of the population, but on the contrary, its influence remained extremely powerful and influential.
The rapid population growth of the countries of the old world only hastened the rapid maturation of the colonies. However, in the face of today's new world, which can be called an endless land, human beings are still unable to occupy all the land in a short period of time. So far, the distribution of human colonies has been only along the coast, along the estuaries and a little inland.
In the New World, there are many harmful monsters and even monsters everywhere. The difference is just that countries treat these monsters differently. For example, the kingdom of the Tang people habitually called these monsters entrenched in the new world demons and monsters. The names of these monsters are also varied and different in the countries of the European continent.
There are a lot of human beings, but compared to the various demons of varying strength and strength that live in the New World and are widely distributed, the population base of human beings is actually nothing. Compared to these murderous and bloodthirsty demons with special abilities, ordinary humans are too weak to face them. Basically, there is no threat to these demons. Although, with the advent of the Great Voyage, human nations have joined in to establish colonies in the endless borderlands. However, this does not mean that all human nations have joined the great colonization.
Only the great powers of the world, the countries with abundant coffers, or the countries with large populations are eligible to participate in colonization. Some small countries, if they have accumulated incredible wealth, can also participate in it. However, most of the small nations only sailed to and from the colonies established by various countries to do business. They were not qualified to build colonies and participate in colonial activities. They were also too lazy to build colonies, and were more interested in doing business, and the goods were poured between the two places.
As a result, human colonization has not progressed well in the face of the growing number of demons in the New World. The colonists and immigrants did not dare to go too far into the interior of the country. This is because the more inland you go, the more likely you are to encounter powerful demons, and the few inland areas along the coast and along the estuary are relatively less threatened. At the very least, whether it's gathering people, armies, or building colonial cities, facing the sea is more likely to receive more supplies and support.
Therefore, under the influence of this reality, the degree of development of the colonies of various countries is incomparable with the original history. Their colonies were built, matured quickly, and had a large population. The use of land was also extremely high, so the construction between colonies gradually became prosperous. Moreover, under the gradual elimination of the army and special people, the colonists slowly marched into the interior, but still did not dare to go too deep into the inland areas. Because, there are not only demons there, but also low-civilization savage tribes.
Under such a special environment and pattern, the upsurge of great voyages and colonizations has never ended. Similarly, islands and other places scattered in the midst of an endless ocean. Wizards have so many choices, whether it's the interior of the New World or the archipelago scattered across the ocean. It's all the land of choice for wizards, and it's all land without an owner. As for the various demons entrenched in the interior and archipelago, they are indeed a great threat to the weak apprentices. But to powerful wizards and groups, they are nothing.
Therefore, most wizards choose to settle down in this way.
In the middle of the Old World and the New World, most wizards do not have to be affected much in their lives, studies, and research. All the materials in the old world, the resources in the new world, can be obtained and enjoyed by them. Compared to this, no matter how rich the resources of the wizarding continent are, the attraction to most wizards is actually not very great. Moreover, the Wizard Continent is a primitive and wild land, there is nothing, and everything needs to be built bit by bit.
Let's ask, in the face of two choices, who would want to go to a primitive and wild continent to live and develop? Most people choose to stay in a place where they can enjoy all the things of the Old World and all the resources of the New World. Moreover, here, the secular regimes of the Old World did not have so much influence.
Wizards have too many ways to hide themselves and study and study with peace of mind. Later, with the passage of time, these reclusive wizards gradually strengthened their exchanges and communication, and continued to connect with each other. Eventually, they came together to establish academies dedicated to the training of future heirs.
Knowledge between each other, a certain amount of exchange and sharing, some research, etc., but also because of the increase in manpower, can gather the strength of many people, so as to properly solve all the problems encountered in the process of learning. Moreover, the wizards who have gathered together and established the academy will also increase their strength invisibly, and they will have a strong resistance to both individuals and groups. Compared to the stable and prosperous lifestyle, how can those wizards who are still painstakingly building colonies on the Wizard Continent be able to attract them?
Although, the wizards who went to the wizarding continent are doing their best to build their territory. But, at least for quite a long time, in the absence of external interference. They have a hard time attracting the attention and interest of a large number of individual and group wizards who are stuck between the Old World and the New World. And the wizards who built the academy also began the rise of academic wizards.
Unlike the wizarding academies that existed in the old world in the past.
The new academic wizard has made new creations and improvements to the rules and regulations of teaching and management. They focus on theoretical research, but they also value practice.
In addition, the dangerous environment of the New World is also beneficial for the growth of some apprentices. Whether it is inland or archipelago, with the re-establishment of a wizarding academy, their philosophy and way of life and learning are imitated by more and more wizards. Some wizards choose a place to build an academy, and there are also wizards who join one of them on the spot.
