191. The universe is so big
The days of study are always short and long, the former because once you are addicted to it, it is easy to ignore the rapid passage of time in the outside world, and the latter because no matter how hard you try, you will never really reach the end.
Perhaps infected by the tranquil atmosphere of Kama Taj, Sean lived the most ordinary life ever, with a regular daily routine, immersed in the vast texts of the library, learning about the origin and development of magic, the establishment and history of the Templar Mage, and occasionally following the teachings of the Ancient One, he would meditate on the ancient mage to sense the fluctuations of the soul and practice some simple spells.
Due to his reluctance to establish contact with the Trinity of Emperor Vishan, Sean wanted to control magic, which was countless times more difficult than ordinary mages, and after several failures, he began to choose the invisible door in his body, trying to draw energy from it to complete the first step of the mage.
Today's magic system has undergone tens of millions of years of development and evolution, from witchcraft, sacrifice, divination, etc. in ancient times, countless branches have merged into the so-called "occult", and finally by the previous supreme mage Agomodha, signed a contract with the magic god Weishan Emperor in the dimension to establish a complete system of the trinity and create three temples, so that the magic inheritance will be carried forward and not shattered by the impact of history.
Sean's fingers flipped through the pages, he was reading a copy of "A New Edition of the Universe", written by an astronomer who had stepped into Kama Taj, looking at the sea of stars from the perspective of a mage, and it also recorded various deeds of the Nine Kingdoms, such as the war between Asgard and the Frost Giants, the dark elves trying to use a terrible weapon to turn the Nine Realms into chaos and darkness, etc., all kinds of hidden insights opened his eyes.
Even with the support of the memories in his mind, Sean has never had such a clear understanding of the world as he does now, and the vast words in these ancient texts have outlined a vast and wonderful universe for him.
The legendary Nine Realms, led by Asgard, the king of the gods, Odin, has established his own powerful rule through countless battles, expelled the dark elves of Vanaheim, defeated the frost giants of Jotunheim, and long years ago, he and his eldest daughter Hela became famous in the Nine Realms, and the Valkyrie Legion was invincible, and glory and authority shrouded the nine kingdoms.
The Atrium World, also known as Midgard, is a place inhabited by humans, and in the ancient barbaric period, it was protected by Asgard and regarded as a backward and remote place by the people of the Nine Realms.
There is also Vat Alheim, which is the homeland of the dwarves, they are born with the ability to forge objects, all of them are extremely skilled craftsmen, and the god of thunder, Thor's Mjernir, is an outstanding work of the dwarven king.
The Heim Underworld, also known as "Hell", is a place where the whole world is shrouded in cold and cold mist, and only the dead can reach it. The rulers of Asgard regarded it as a place of exile for prisoners who had committed grave sins.
Muspelheim, the legendary land of fire, is a scorching land guarded by the flame giant Sutert.
Through continuous reading of books, Sean gradually understands this vast and infinite dark universe, just in this vast galaxy where the earth is located, there are many different civilizations and races, if you look at it, there are more wonderful and brilliant, waiting for him to discover and explore.
Gently closing the heavy ancient book, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "The universe is so big, I want to go and see it." ”
…………
On the top floor of the towering mage tower, the ancient one, dressed in a robe with wide sleeves, stood against the railing, looking out at the Kama Taj in the setting sun, and her eldest disciple Mordo stood aside, reporting on Sean's recent movements.
On the first day, he read The Key of Solomon, the Book of Sight, and the Supreme Codex...... Almost eleven books, as you said, his learning ability and talent are indeed outstanding, and it takes at least half a month for a normal mage to digest and absorb this knowledge, and he can easily integrate it, and amazingly, he only spends eight hours a day studying, and the rest is spent observing other mage training, or talking and chatting with those hermits. ”
Mordo's tone was full of inexplicable emotions, he had seen this kind of genius before, such as Casillas, who had extraordinary talents far beyond ordinary people, but it was often this kind of person who was most likely to lose his way and step into the abyss of the dark dimension.
Casillas was a wretched man with nothing to love and nothing to fall into, eager to seek answers from mysterious spells, and his own talent and pride and stubbornness led him to question the Supreme Mage, and he became a depraved fanatical believer by the power of the dark dimension.
"In less than three days, he has mastered the secret of the out-of-body soul, and even when he is asleep, he can still read deeply, which is almost breaking the record for the fastest Kama Taj, and there has never been a mage like him, who is not at all bound by inherent cognition, he easily accepts the truth of the world and the universe, and breaks through the shackles of idealism and materialism."
The more he spoke, Mordo couldn't help but be surprised, if it weren't for Sean's unfamiliarity with magic, he would have thought that the other party was a young mage who had been taught orthodoxy.
"As I said, Sean Sypers is very unusual." The Ancient One didn't seem surprised.
She rubbed the sandalwood folding fan in her hand, and the young man's body was shrouded in a mysterious fog that made it difficult for her to see through, even with the help of the eyes of Agamodha, she could not glimpse the slightest trace of the other party from the future images of time and space.
And Sean does have the natural conditions to become a mage, those lengthy spells, obscure and complex ancient texts, and thousands of cumbersome formations, any mage wants to be familiar with it, and it takes a long time to practice it flexibly, but he is different, strong learning and memory ability, so that he can easily understand, and digest and absorb it, like directly skipping the intermediate stage and reaching the last step of use.
"Let him learn, at least the thirst for knowledge, cannot be faked." The Supreme Mage said lightly.
"But......" Mordo hesitated, his swarthy face filled with determination, "wouldn't it be ...... if he, like Casillas, opened the Book of Cagliostro and learned the secrets of the dark dimension from it?"
"No, it won't." Ancient One interrupted the eldest disciple's inquiry, and her eyes looked at the library, "Sean is more proud and stubborn than Casillas, he is unwilling to bow to the Trinity of the Vishan Emperor, and chooses to control his own energy, how can he submit to Dormammu." ”
"That young man is the most arrogant guy I've ever seen, and even a god can't make him bow down on his knees."
Mordo's mouth was wide open, and he was speechless for a while.
