Old Man Luo snorted the pipe in his mouth and said: "And the people of later generations also named that element - magic element! The power brought by these elements can make the ancestors make fire, control water, call the wind, rain down, freeze ice, etc., etc., the ancestors who have obtained these powers have the power to fight against those new genetic mutations for the first time, so far, the living space of human beings has been expanded, so that more than 1000 years later, we have the vast land we have today." The heroes who wield elemental power and fight against genetically mutated new species have been named a single class - mages!"

After being stunned for two seconds, seeing that Old Man Luo did not continue, Luo Miao raised his hand and asked, "Grandpa, so what are those new species with genetic mutations?"

Old Man Luo said unhurriedly: "Desolate Demon, this is the unified name of those new species with genetic mutations, and its meaning is to describe them as like demon beasts in the Desolate Ancients. ”

"Are these demons powerful?"

"It's very strong, so strong that we are now facing the threat of desolate demons everywhere in our world, and this situation can only be contained with the presence of mages. ”

"Are there a lot of demons?"

"Many, as many as 10,000 meters in the sky, in the boundless ocean, on the vast land, and even in the cities where humans live there are hidden desolate demons. ”

"Then according to what you said grandpa, why haven't I seen the desolate demon?"

Old Man Luo knocked a pipe on Luo Miao's head, "Do you really want to see them? You think it's all stories? If you really meet a desolate demon, even the weakest one can tear you to pieces." ”

Old Man Luo's knock was very heavy, and it hurt so much that Luo Miao was baring his teeth, and he said a little depressedly: "That's how I asked, grandpa." ”

Old Man Luo snorted lightly: "Do you think I'm telling a story? There are a lot of desolate demons hidden in this forest where we live, if I hadn't been scared away by your grandfather and me, I wouldn't be surprised that you met ten times or eight times in one day." ”

Hearing Old Man Luo say this, Luo Miao's eyes immediately flashed with bright brilliance: "Oh, could it be that grandpa, you are a mage?"

"Hmph, of course, your grandfather was a big man when I was out and about. ”

"Then why do you still live here, and if according to the book, you shouldn't be enjoying a high-end life now?"

"I'm in seclusion, enjoy the purity, do you understand?!" Facing Luo Miao's skeptical eyes, Old Man Luo raised his voice, and the pipe in his hand hit Luo Miao's head once.

Luo Miao rubbed the top of his head that was a little painful and walked away, since the class was over, there was no reason for him to be knocked by his grandfather's pipe here, so he slipped aside and picked up a book on the bookshelf and read it alone.

It's something he really likes to do, absorbing all kinds of knowledge, which makes him feel a different kind of fascination, and he likes the feeling of being filled with knowledge.

It's also thanks to him that he can read it, and if it is placed in modern times, it is estimated that few young people can patiently read these boring books for a long time.

But in the past few months, he has been able to read a small part of the book!

Luo Miao's liking for reading also makes Old Man Luo particularly satisfied, after all, any old man likes studious children.

Old Man Luo was sitting on a recliner, and he was smoking a pipe when he suddenly remembered something, and he asked Luo Miao, who was reading a book next to him, "Grandson, why didn't you ask Grandpa about the mage just now?"

That's right, this is where Old Man Luo feels strange, it stands to reason that young people should yearn for this kind of heroic deeds, and they are eager to become heroes, because he was like this when he was young.

"Huh?" Luo Miao raised his head when he heard this, he scratched his scalp and said, "I thought that grandpa would tell me, didn't you always say 'I will tell you when the time comes'?"

“...... Ahem, I don't mean that sometimes that way. Old Man Luo coughed twice and said.

"Oh, then grandpa, tell me. Luo Miao straightened up and looked like she was listening.

"Mage, their existence gives us the power to fight against the desolate demons, and they are indispensable to us human beings. In today's society, almost all of them are developing in the direction of magic, when in 2197 AD, after the ancestors passed the most difficult period of reclamation, the civilization around magic began to develop rapidly, and the most typical of them is the reform of teaching! The ancestors preserved the knowledge left in the disaster as the basis, around the construction of new magic courses, the world also towered one after another magic schools. After that period, magic began to develop among the people, and due to the spread of magical knowledge, more and more mages appeared among the ancestors, and now magic has achieved full popularity. A large part of the reason why we humans have a living zone is because of the increased popularity of magic to regain these vast lands. So now, mages have become the most desirable profession in people's hearts, they are powerful, they are heroes among ordinary people, and they are the most indispensable barrier in the crowd!" Old Man Luo said slowly.

"Wow~! Luo Miao said in amazement.

"So?" Old Man Luo looked at him with a slightly expectant gaze.

"So I'm just amazed. ”

Old Man Luo choked and was stunned for two seconds before continuing to ask, "Grandson, hearing what Grandpa said, don't you have the slightest urge to yearn for the mage?"

Luo Miao tilted her head and thought for a while, and said honestly: "There is a little, but I am not very interested, besides, grandpa, you also know my situation, maybe because of the amnesia situation, I have lost the idea of yearning for a mage since I was a child." When I heard what you just said to me, my first reaction was that the mage seemed to be very dangerous, not only to protect people, but also to fight the dangerous demons, and maybe because of the disasters brought by the demons, I felt that this was so dangerous and so hard. So I think I'm doing well now, and there's no need to bother. ”

Old Man Luo was silent for a long time, and asked seriously, "Grandson, what you said are your own thoughts?"

"That's right. Remembering what I had seen in those books before, and comparing your words, I found that the mage seems to be like this, isn't that right?" Luo Miao finally asked with some confusion.

Old Man Luo: "......"

No, why is this kid so different from me back then? Although he seems to be right...... However, this is not in line with the age of young people's enthusiasm and impulsiveness, could it be that his three views have been shaped so realistically by those books?

After being silent for a long time, Old Man Luo looked at Luo Miao with a very deep gaze: "Grandson, your words are right, they are very realistic, but your idea is unrealistic to me." ”

"What...... What do you mean?" Luo Miao asked confusedly.

Old Man Luo looked at him deeply a few times, and said in a somewhat long tone: "In a few days...... You'll find out. ”

Although he didn't understand the meaning of what Old Man Luo said, Luo Miao suddenly had a feeling that his hairs stood up, and what Old Man Luo said made him feel bad for a while.

As a result, this feeling was long forgotten when he woke up the next day......

......

"Click!"

The long black hair was cut off by Qi Gen, Luo Miao was sitting outside the wooden house receiving a haircut from Old Man Luo, at this time he swept the hair that fell to the ground with the residual light of his eyes, Luo Miao sighed silently in his heart.

Don't ask me how this feeling comes from, you always feel a little unaccustomed when something in your body suddenly disappears, so that's why some people have longer and longer nails.

Old Man Luo skillfully cut Luo Miao's hair shorter and shorter, and said: "I wanted to cut off your hair a long time ago, why does a boy keep his hair so long......? Oh no, grandson, you are indeed very good-looking, and it always gave me the illusion before. ”

Luo Miao was depressed: "Grandpa, I've wanted to ask since a long time ago, do I really look like a girl?"

"It's quite similar, and it's long hair, I guess it's my reaction when others see you. Old Man Luo replied honestly.

Old Man Luo's answer made Luo Miao even more depressed.

"Alright. ”

Looking at Luo Miao, whose hair had been cut into a refreshing hairstyle, Old Man Luo nodded with satisfaction: Now it doesn't look so much like a girl.

Luo Miao, who was suddenly unaccustomed to the sudden loss of her long hair, felt a little unaccustomed at first, because the back of her neck always felt a little cool, but after getting used to it for a while, this feeling quickly disappeared.

......

After dinner, Luo Miao sat on the bench and listened to Old Man Luo give him a lesson.

Old Man Luo slowly shook the rocking chair and said unhurriedly: "I told you about the history of magic and its origin before. Today, I will tell you about another indispensable thing in our human race - technology. ”

"Technology, what is that?" Luo Miao acted as a good student, and should have asked the question.

It was rare for Old Man Luo Luo not to interrupt him with his pipe this time, and he continued: "Science and technology, separately, is science and technology, science solves theoretical problems, and technology solves practical problems. But you don't understand it if you talk too much about it, you can simply understand that technology is production and invention. ”
