Chapter 1: The Historiography of Magic
The Norfang Continent, a world of magical civilizations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Nuofang, in the ancient gods, means the beginning of everything. The entire continent is divided into six subcontinents by a vast ocean. These six subcontinents are connected end to end in a circle that is almost circular. In the middle of the circle is an island hidden by a curtain of colorful lights, and it is said that the island is inhabited by creatures called demons, which are known as Demon Island.
Three of the six subcontinents are controlled by humans, while the other three are inaccessible places such as high mountains and forests, desert wastelands, and are said to be inhabited by dwarves, elves, and mysterious and powerful dragons.
The Karen Continent, the land where the moonlight of the ancient gods sprinkled it, is one of the three continents controlled by humans. It is also the only continent among the three continents that has reached the so-called great unification, which means that there is only one country on the entire continent, the Saint Fasel Empire. Our story begins at St. Fassen's Royal Academy of Magic, St. Forha's Academy.
Crimson Lunar Calendar 3021, St. Forha's College.
Professor Hasson was teaching a course on the history of magic, and dozens of students were sitting in the empty classroom.
The classroom was a bit old, with desks, chairs, and lecterns made of dark brown black ironwood, and the edges and corners were polished to a certain extent. The classroom is nearly ten meters high, except for the small square colored window at the top, there is only a row of windows at a distance of one and a half meters from the ground, and it is now afternoon, the whole classroom is very dim, only a corner against the window is illuminated by the sun.
Sitting in the corner was a silver-haired girl, dressed in a wide black mage robe, with very delicate facial features, a slightly pointed chin, and fair and clear skin, like warm white jade. The girl leaned slightly sideways, moved her fair calves, and forgot to glance at her. It turned out that there was a teenager sitting next to the girl, because it happened to be in the shadow behind the wall, and next to it was such a suffocating beautiful girl, so it was easy to be ignored. The boy's hair and eyes were black, which was a rarity in St. Fassen.
"Three thousand years ago, the Holy Clan and the Demon Clan went to war, and the entire war lasted for ten years, and the war spread to the entire continent, and the four major races participated in it. In this battle, humans and elves joined the camp of the Holy Clan, the Dragons supported the Demon Clan, and the usually low-key Dwarven Clan divided into two camps, creating a variety of powerful weapons and equipment for the Holy Clan and the Demon Clan. In the year 9744 of the Black Moon Calendar, the Terrans, Elves and Dragons withdrew from the war because they could not afford to fight. The Holy Clan and the Demon Clan fought a decisive battle in the Scarlet Moon Sea, and the Holy Emperor Lundo sealed the six demon emperors of the Demon Clan with the Holy Clan's forbidden art Holy Feather Heaven. Later, due to the exhaustion of holy power, he had to be trapped in the abyss of the scarlet moon with the Demon Emperor Purple Pupil at the cost of his own holy body void. After that, the two tribes fought without victory or defeat. Historians call this battle the Battle of the Black Moon, and the seventh day of the Black Moon every year is called Moonlight Day to commemorate the war. And after the end of the Black Moon Era, the mainland also entered the Crimson Moon Era. ā
Professor Hassen's voice was a little low, and even when he talked about the magnificent history of the Battle of the Black Moon, Professor Hassen's expression was still flat.
"Okay, that's pretty much it for today's lesson, if any of you have any questions, you can bring them up now, or you can write them down on paper and give them to me after class. Professor Hasson closed the heavy textbook on the history of magic and glanced up at the student below.
Most of the students below exhaled deeply, compared to other courses, the history of magic was indeed a bit boring. After a three-hour course in the afternoon, most of the students were already very tired and did not want to ask any more questions.
But at this time, Weifeng, who was lying on the table and was a little lazy, suddenly sat up. From the silver space bracelet on his wrist, he took out a black envelope, and inside was a question that had been prepared for a long time.
Elsa on the side glanced at Weifeng and said softly, "You come to Professor Hasson's History of Magic class on time every week, so that you don't know when you will have the opportunity to ask questions?"
Professor Hasson's History of Magic course was an elective course, and few students were willing to take the time to take such a boring and useless course. However, Elsa found that Weifeng seemed to be very interested in the course, and Professor Hasson would attend every class on time.
"yes, I just had a problem recently, and I've been waiting for a long time. Weifeng said as he took out a piece of paper from the envelope, checked it, and put it back in.
"I still don't understand, if you have a question, can't you just ask Teacher Hasson, although Teacher Hasson looks a little old-fashioned, but he won't refuse to answer the student's questions, right?" Elsa circled a strand of silver hair with her fingers, teasing with some boredom.
"Some questions take some time, and Professor Hassen usually asks people to ask questions when he is free. Wei Feng didn't elaborate, in fact, high-level magicians like Professor Hasen spend a lot of time every day focusing on improving their magical attainments, and time is a very precious thing for them.
Elsa's face showed a hint of exhaustion, and she no longer paid attention to the wind, the whole afternoon of magic history class was indeed a bit boring.
"Teacher Hasson, I have a question, about the Battle of the Black Moon, there is a legend that there are also betrayers who side with the demon clan among the human race, and according to legend, these betrayers are all black-haired and black-eyed, and they have left a bloodline. Professor Hasson, I would like to ask if this legend is true?"
Suddenly standing up and asking questions was a young man in a gray magic robe, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with flaxen-colored hair and slightly curly, a rather handsome face, deep blue eyes, and a hint of arrogance in his words.
For a while, the atmosphere in the classroom became a little solemn, and the students who were still whispering stopped talking, either looking at Professor Hassen on the podium, or looking at the wind in the corner.
Professor Hasson frowned slightly, and said in his deep voice, "After all, the Battle of the Black Moon was more than three thousand years ago, and we don't know much about the beginning and end of that war. As for who is good and who is evil, we have no right to speak. Therefore, even if someone supported the demon clan at that time, it was not a betrayal. Besides, it's just a legend, Asser. ā
"But Professor Hasen, after all, our human race still has a close relationship with the Holy Race......" Arthur wanted to argue something more, but Professor Hassen directly interrupted him.
"That's enough, Arthur!" Professor Hasson raised his voice, his words full of majesty, and the students were all silent, and there was no more sound in the empty classroom.
"That's all for today's class, you can visit my office after class, and you can hand over the prepared questions to him. Professor Hasson whispered, then turned and left the room, ignoring Arthur, whose face had become very ugly.
"Hmph, it's just a waste of the Pale Radiance Realm. Arthur snorted coldly, his voice was very small, but at this moment, it was very harsh, and the atmosphere in the classroom became more and more solemn.
"Mocking the weak is a sign of incompetence, Quotations from the Empress, Volume VII, Chapter 1. A cold voice came from the corner of the classroom.
"Elsa, don't go too far!" Asser looked viciously at the silver-haired girl in the corner like a hound with his tail trampled, as if a spark was about to burst into his eyes. Elsa, who was sitting in the corner, just loosened the hair wrapped around her fingers and gave her the same cold gaze.
The other students seemed to feel an inexplicable cold, and some of the girls even shook their bodies involuntarily. Finally, a girl with a slightly pale face left the classroom quickly, and the other students also got up, and after a while, only Weifeng, Elsa and Arthur were left in the classroom, which was originally empty.
"Alas......"
Weifeng sighed helplessly.
