Chapter 153: What Is Excellence?

"Great mage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info", Mage Potter looked at Al with emotion, "I didn't expect you to have such ambitions." ”

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Al kept his mouth shut as he sorted out the books, "Isn't it normal for a mage to want to be great?"

Master Potter laughed as he asked Al, "What is excellent, what is great, and what do you think is the standard?"

He patted the book in his hand and said to Al, "Do you think a mage who can write a book and write a magic book can be called great?"

Al hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid not, in such a large library, there are not many magic books, but they are definitely not rare, and all mages who can write books can be called great, right?"

"yes, so they can only be called excellent at best. The old mage led Al a few steps to a bookshelf, pulled out a thick book from it, handed it to Al, and motioned for him to open it.

Al took the book, and the title of the book was "The Beauty of Nature: The Wonderful Uses of the Circle Pattern". He opened the title page and was surprised to find a name: Sheldon Nicholas. He glanced at the old mage in shock, and Master Potter motioned for him to continue flipping through.

The carefully processed paper was tough and easy to turn over, and the book was filled with diagrams, data, magic models, and large paragraphs of discourse, some of which Al could read, and some of which he could read, and some of which he had no idea what was written.

But despite the fact that there is a lot of content that is difficult to understand, Al can still see how much effort and sweat the author put into writing the book through the beautiful handwriting and rigorous and precise patterns.

"When Sheldon was writing this book, he often asked me a lot of questions. To be honest, some of the questions he asked were something I hadn't thought about, and naturally I couldn't help him, so he wrote while researching, and he wrote it on and off for six years before he finally finished it. ”

"Little El, do you think Sheldon is a good mage?", Mage Potter asked.

"Of course, he's the best mage I've ever met, and of course, he's a little worse than you. Al slickly complimented.

Master Potter laughed even louder, and the laughter spread far and wide, even Sheldon, who was arranging the utensils in the distance, heard it, and thought to himself, "El doesn't know what he said, but he can make the teacher so happy." ”

"You little slippery head, should you say that you are worthy of being born in the aristocracy? Mage Potter pointed at Al angrily and amusedly, shook his head and said, "But you are wrong, just like a seasoned politician, it is inevitable that there will be times when he misses." Since Sheldon finished writing this book, he has surpassed me, including the Sheldon circle he created, which is a masterpiece that can be passed down in the history of magic, his name will be mentioned repeatedly, and my name will probably not be remembered in a hundred years. ”

"When I realized it, Sheldon was just twenty-six years old, and I was almost sixty years old, and it took him just twenty years to surpass most of my life. He is like the rising sun, which will still fly higher and higher, and continue to emit light, while I am like the moon that is obscured, only getting dimmer and fainter, and finally gradually disappearing, and the gap between us will continue to widen, and there is no possibility of narrowing. The old mage, who was constantly tidying up, was a little tired, beckoned Al to sit down, and said with a little sadness.

Al looked at his wrinkled face, and didn't know how to comfort the old man who was like a candle about to be extinguished, time kept slipping away from him, but he couldn't do anything about it, and he couldn't do anything about it, and he couldn't have made a shocking study in a short period of time, and the candle light flickered on and off for a while, and then it would disappear completely, like thousands and hundreds of the same candles, without any difference.

"At least you are Master Sheldon's teacher, and he was educated by you. In the end, Al can only pick such good words.

"yes. The old mage struggled to turn through the heavy magic book and pointed the last page to Al: "I dedicate this book to my beloved teacher, Master Tran Potter, without whom I would not be where I am today."

In an instant, emotion and warmth swept through El's body, he really didn't expect such a cold person as Sheldon to write such words, he looked at the old mage in surprise, the old mage smiled like a child showing off, his face revealed satisfaction and pride.

He stroked the magic book and asked coldly, "Since Sheldon is an excellent mage, then little El, which mage do you think is better Sheldon or Medea?"

"Huh?", this question really caught Al off guard, how can he answer this? Al hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Mage Sheldon is better, isn't it? In terms of magic knowledge, he surpasses Teacher Medea too much, to be honest, Teacher Medea is a bit ...... Ahem. After all, he was his teacher, and Al couldn't be too mean.

"But Medea alone can unleash magic like the Fury of Thunder and the Tsunami, and Sheldon will never be able to do such a feat. ", retorted the old mage.

"Just unleashing a difficult spell is not a criterion. Al objected, "Those mages who have invented magic one by one and made outstanding contributions to the study of the elements are not necessarily all powerful. ”

"Yes, you think so, but the world doesn't think so, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, strength, or mastery of strong force can be called excellent or great, this can't be said to be wrong, after all, in this generation, in this kingdom, only with power can you control yourself, in order to protect others, without power is like duckweed, often can't help yourself, even you can't be responsible, how can you shoulder a heavier responsibility?"

"Just like everyone's choice when electing the president of the Mage Association, after President Levi was captured by the Holy Sect, everyone chose Medea as the president, even if she was still a little girl who didn't know anything about the world at the time, Sheldon was very unconvinced by this, he always thought that I should be in charge of the Mage Association, otherwise the association would not have fallen to the point it is today. ”

But what he didn't know was that I had written Medea's name when I voted. ”

"You also chose Medea, and why?", Al asked subconsciously.

"Because she's a genius, she's a true once-in-a-century magical genius, Medea Merlin. ”
