Chapter Ninety-Six: Magic and Technology

The Pope looked at Auston fixedly, and then sighed for a long time: "The general is righteous, the Edra family, no, it should be said that Hanina is really fortunate to have a general like you in such a situation." ”

Auston nodded, knowing that the Pope did not approve of Hanina's approach, but he did not want to delve into these issues, in fact, even he himself was now beginning to wonder if Gray the Great had been too cruel to Nalal in the first place.

His heart is changing little by little, but he hasn't noticed it yet.

Auston didn't want to dwell on this matter, since the Pope didn't mention it, he was happy to change the topic, otherwise with the difference in status between the two, although this matter was Hanina's private matter, he didn't want to be too tough.

"I have been thinking about this whole thing in series, I don't know how many times I have thought about it repeatedly, before we set out on the expedition, Speaker Monka suddenly lost contact, it must be the ghost of the old horseman of Nolz in the back, I don't know how many people in the alliance have fallen to the elves, but this must be a conspiracy against our Hanina!"

Auston didn't mention Iru, but spoke first about the council.

When it comes to the elves, the Pope is silent, the ancient elves have a long history, and they have a more behind than Clandis, the elves have always given people a mysterious and peaceful feeling, they rarely interfere in other civilizations, not to mention politics or war, and even basic diplomacy is rare.

Most of the elven travelers who occasionally appear in people's field of vision are like lone rangers, and although they are polite to others, they unabashedly exude an aura that no one can enter.

This practice is called aristocratic temperament, but it is actually a kind of packaged arrogance.

In the long history of the universe, every time the elves appeared in the center of people's field of vision, it was when a major event occurred, and the last time this happened, the Pope's father had not yet been born.

"Nolz is just one of the elders in the Council of Elders of the Elder Elves, and it was promoted to serve as an important position in the alliance this time, but compared to those old-fashioned elves, he is better at this kind of thing, he does represent the elves in the alliance, but if his actions are the embodiment of the will of the entire ancient elves...... General, I think this idea of yours is a bit too arbitrary. The Pope said slowly.

Auston thought about it, and it seemed to be the truth.

Nolz's status among the elves is not low, in the Ruidun Galaxy, the status of the Council of Elders of the Ancient Elven Clan is nominally only below the elven god, but in fact, whether the so-called elven god really exists, or is it just a spiritual support, I am afraid only the elven clan itself can say clearly.

After all, no one has ever really seen this so-called deity.

The Council of Elders is the de facto ruling organization of the Raidon Galaxy, and Norz is only one of them, and it is not too early to conclude whether his actions represent the entire elven race or just his personal ambitions.

It seems that it is too early to brand the entire elven race as an enemy.

But Auston naturally can't just let down his vigilance against the elves, even if these tricks against Hanina and Vina are just Nolz alone, even if this old bastard has turned to ashes, who can guarantee that he will not have a remnant?

Auston then asked, "Then with the mutated body of Nolz and the assassin's magical attack beyond common sense, can Your Majesty solve a problem or two for me?" ”

This question was also a question that had been held in Auston's mind for a long time, and Knowles almost killed himself with one blow with that mutated giant claw, although he was not in a good state at the time, and no one would have thought of such a strange attack, but after all, it was melee combat! An old magician has actually hit himself head-on!

And the assassin who could transform his entire body into flowing flames, and regular attacks didn't have any effect on him at all, which he couldn't understand.

The Pope thought for a moment and shook his head, "I've never heard of this situation, in fact, whether it's elemental magic, space magic, including the holy power we use, it can be collectively called occultism, the essence of occultism is to strengthen one's own spiritual power and understanding of the origin of power, and use it through magic, in fact, it is the same as the scientific and technological power that the general is familiar with." ”

It was the first time for Auston to hear a systematic explanation of the knowledge system about magic, especially from the mouth of a powerful pope, Hanina, as an excellent technological civilization, had very little understanding of magic, and their achievements in science and technology were enough to give them a place in the vast universe, so they directly ignored the magic Hanina.

And Auston is slightly different, he has always maintained an attitude of awe towards magic, this awe is mostly from Lockel, thanks to the alliance between Hanina and Clandis, the two countries often visit each other, and there will often be various forms of cooperation, of course, there are many times of coordinated operations, Auston and Lockry, the two people who are now important in the two empires, have known each other for a long time, at that time Auston was just an ordinary squad leader, and Lockriel was just a young magician.

Auston, a pure Hanina, was not interested in magic at all, and like many of his colleagues, he preferred to trust his guns and machinery to magic, but Locelite opened the door to a new world.

After witnessing the magic of magic many times, especially many things that could not be done with the technology in his cognition, in the hands of Lockrael, he was able to use holy power and magic at his fingertips, so he changed his previous stereotype, and even tested his talent in private, but the result was really no ......

"Take the scientific and technological power that the general is familiar with, for example." The Pope pointed to the particle pistol that Auston pinned to his waist, "To make such a weapon, you must first master the relevant technology, solve the mechanics, energy, etc., if you want to master the use well, you also need corresponding training." ”

Alston nodded, although the Pope's statement was very general and not professional enough, but there was no problem overall.

"It's the same with magic, first of all, you have to understand the corresponding power system, which is just like your early exploration experiment, and then to control this power, you need a strong and condensed mental power, which is like your tempering of the body, but the magician exercises not muscles but spirit, and finally to actually use it, you need a medium like magic spells, that is, the gun itself, I explain it like this, I don't know if the general can understand?"

The Pope smiled, but his expression was a little embarrassed, compared to the fact that he himself realized that the analogy was a bit far-fetched.

Auston nodded solemnly, this explanation had already dissected the nature of magic to himself.

"If you say, then so-called magic, like our guns, is through the use of external forces or energy, and its essence is the same. But if so, wouldn't that assassin's magic be... Isn't that contrary to this theory? ”

Auston frowned, if magical magic is just another way to form weapons and shields with the power of all things, maybe magic can indeed strengthen itself in some way, just like the advanced medicine and medical means that they Hanina has, but all of this should be within a reasonable limit......

Unless......

Auston looked up suddenly, and suddenly he thought of something terrible!

"Looks like the general has something in mind." The Pope smiled.

Auston had nothing else in mind, a false evolutionary path that would push countless civilizations to extinction, genetic modification! The extreme attempt to modify oneself by controlling genes!

I don't know how many civilizations have been fanatically blocking everything on this road, but in the end they have become a speck of dust in the long river of history, they may be dissatisfied with some defects of their own race, or they may yearn for greater physical power, but for whatever reason, the final result of these civilizations is the same, which is to perish.

Interestingly, the path is usually very fast and fruitful at first, like a sea of beautiful flowers growing on the edge of a cliff, the more you go inside, the more gorgeous the scenery becomes, making people think that this is a shortcut to heaven, don't you know that those flowers are just a trap to lure you into the cliff.
