Chapter 137 The Other Side of Prosperity Breeds in the Background
The last sentence of the old earth relaxed the tense nerves of President Casillas and the other three, and Xiu Yin also felt the pressure disappear in an instant, and the chest that seemed to be squeezed by a thousand pounds of boulders before could finally breathe comfortably.
"Hey, President, you've scared the little guy!" said another old man who looked a little kind, "Hey, little one, don't worry, just to see if you were disguised by a wizard who took someone's body!"
"Wizard?" Xiu Yin knew the word, but the term wizard must have been called to people with spiritual power in the era before the Soul Crystal Theory appeared.
Seeing that Xiu Yin had doubts in his heart, President Casillas might as well talk about it for him, but before that, Casillas still had to make an introduction.
"Your name is Xiuin, lad!" Casillas had heard Jessica call him.
"Huin Neumann. Xiu Yin replied.
"I am Casillas, the president of the Mage's Guild. "Casillas' identity is already known.
"Fury, the storm of the Mage's Tower. An old man with the thinnest face introduced himself.
"Stop the water, stop the water of the Mage Tower. "Almost like Storm, this old man has the least gray hair.
"Terracotta, the terracotta of the Mage's Tower. It turns out that the old man who is called "old soil" is called red soil, and he is also the one who visited Xiu Yin as soon as he came up.
After introducing each other, there was less tension at the beginning, and Xiu Yin was able to relax a little at this time, at least the matter of having two souls in his body was safely avoided.
The three old men were devoted to studying their own magic, and over the decades, they had forgotten their names, so they used their magical attributes to name themselves.
The three are also elders of the Mage's Guild and have a highly respected status.
"However, it is not a wizard's method, but I am very curious how the little one can have two souls in his body. Casillas led Xiuin to sit down in the room, and the three elders returned to their seats.
"I don't know this very well, but shouldn't wizards be what the last era said about mages?" Xiu Yin deliberately avoided the topic, so he shifted the topic to the wizard's statement.
Casillas seems to have a good first impression and affection for Xiuin, and is the opposite of his impatient temperament in the past, but he is willing to sit down and slowly explain to Xiuin what a "wizard" is.
"Wizards are indeed the precursors of the early mages who were active in the last human civilization, and the spells they used were also called witchcraft. ”
"However, with the passage of time, today, under the influence of Marfa's soul crystal theory, the original wizard has been established, plus a complete mage system, a hundred and ten years ago belonged to the glorious era of mages, but, at that time, as the 'wizard' of the previous era, it represented another identity......"
"Another identity?" When Xiu Yin heard this, he felt that there was a term about "wizard", which was not so simple.
Casillas also continued impatiently, "Yes, where prosperity is undermined, there will inevitably be a negative black side, wizards, it is the dark side that has arisen in the heyday of the mage era......"
"In the era when mages were active, people were proud to be a mage, and the teenagers were also proud of their ability to skillfully control their mental power, and in various forces and countries on the mainland, the status of mages became very transcendent, in short, it was an era of mages......
Casillas spoke, his eyes full of yearning and melancholy recollections, the end of a glorious era that he could still catch up with in his childhood, but decades passed, and the glory had clearly dimmed by this time.
"At that time, people's pursuit and yearning for magic were more persistent than those of today, so there were many disagreements on the road of studying various magic......
"Divergence?" Xiu Yin had a bad premonition when he heard this, perhaps the glorious era of the mage also had some connection with this "disagreement".
"Magic is wonderful, it has undoubtedly changed people's lives and even the way of warfare between city-states, and those who study the magic arcane have begun to study in different directions, plus some ancient secret techniques unearthed in some ruins, which have been discovered one after another, and here the differences are getting more and more intensified. ”
"Among them, the 'witchcraft' of the last era has been mentioned and even studied more deeply, some witchcraft is beneficial to people, such as some witch doctors who can treat wounds, but more of them are extremely cruel and corrosive methods for people......"
Mutter......
Xiu Yin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he could probably guess what kind of existence the "wizard" in this era was.
"The use of underhanded 'sorcery', such as manipulating corpses, such as using curses that can produce plagues, such as using evil spells to forcibly take the bodies of others......"
After Casillas finished speaking, he looked at Xiu Yin's body a few more times, "Wizarding is a taboo in this era, and witchcraft is an evil that is not tolerated in this era. ”
Xiu Yin nodded, he already knew that if he was confirmed to be using evil secret techniques to occupy other people's bodies, he would become the public enemy of the entire continent.
But having said so much about the wizard, what is the purpose of calling himself here? Xiuin looked at Casillas, waiting for him to say what his purpose was.
"Hey, hey, hey, the wizard has said so much, of course, so that the little guy can know what he should do, after all, when a person's power is stronger, he should fulfill more obligations. ”
Xiu Yin knew that things would not be so simple, and besides, the point should be later.
Casillas was a little surprised in his heart, and the little ghost in front of him had not been flustered, although sometimes his expression showed some surprise, but Casillas could see that the red-haired young man in front of him had not wavered.
Strong willpower and spiritual unity are also qualities that will be possessed in order to become a strong mage.
Casillas and the other three elders glanced at each other, and when all three elders nodded slightly in agreement, Casillas took a soft breath.
"Boy, Shuin Neumann, although your strength is still very weak now, the rules have been set since the establishment of the Mage Tower, and those who walk out of the Gate of Fate or the Gate of the Future will be qualified to become the new president of the Mage Guild!"
