Chapter Twenty-Eight: The History of Magic
Another long conversation.
In front of Richard's desk, there was already a stack of yellow papiers, a bottle of dragon's blood ink, and a few quill pens. As he sat down at his desk and scribbled, Diana couldn't help but get up from her seat in curiosity and stoop forward to peek forward.
In the past two days of normal relationship, Heloise was inseparable from everyone due to her cold personality. It was as if nothing in this world was as important as the bladed spear she carved herself. As for Princess Audrey, she threw all her resentment into arguing with Richard, and she didn't stop for a moment. Compared with the two, it is her relationship with Richard that is the best.
"What are you writing about?"
Seeing the patterns and words stacked on the yellowed paper, Diana asked curiously.
She was very close to Richard at this time.
Close enough to reach the crimson wavy hair that fell from Xiu Bai's neck, touching Richard's sweaty forehead.
As soon as he heard her voice, Richard, who had just recovered from his contemplation, smelled a refreshing aroma.
Diana's intoxicating body fragrance kept running into his nostrils.
With the sound of the legs of his chair slicing the ground, Richard moved the chair under him and moved it backwards. His face was now crimson, and he didn't dare to look up shyly.
God, no girl has ever been so close to him, neither on earth nor in this world.
The upper limit of Richard's guts in this regard is to chat with the opposite sex of the right age and make some serious jokes. If he really wants to carry a gun into battle, he doesn't have any confidence.
"Hehe......"
Looking at his shyness, Diana smiled and shook her head.
Richard coughed twice to ease his embarrassment. Then he put down the quill pen in a serious way, turned the paper around, and spread it out in front of them.
"Come and see......"
When he spoke, his eyes didn't dare to stare at Diana, whose red hair was fluttering in front of him.
This man-like performance made Audrey on the side can't help but laugh, and her chest rises and falls for a while. Then, the princess sat down unceremoniously forward, poked her head out openly, and looked at the papyrus full of things. Just now, like Diana, she was tickled by Richard's head buried in the desk, and she wanted to see what he was writing. Although he hated Richard, deep down, Audrey was still curious about this guy. It's just that when she thinks about the current tense relationship between the two sides, she has no choice but to give up.
Hmph, don't think I'll give him a good face until he kneels down to apologize to me. Audrey thought silently.
Heloise, who was also attracted by Richard's words, did not have such complicated ideas. The reason she didn't spy on Richard just now was purely because she really didn't care. She felt that Richard would eventually give an explanation.
If that's the result, why bother with the process.
This cold beauty with a long braid has always had a simple way of thinking.
"Everyone, look this way, according to what you said before, I can sort out what happened here. Richard saw that the three of them were concentrating, pointing to the simple map drawn in front of him, "At least seven hundred years ago, that is, in the era of Her Royal Highness our princess, Roland magic was mainly based on various runes and spells. Listen to you, here are mainly Edo's Sheen runes, the Dogen runes from the dwarves, and the El array magic, as well as spell magic from all over the world......"
Halfway through his words, Princess Audrey couldn't help but snort coldly when she heard his yin and yang tone.
When he had finished this paragraph, Richard couldn't help but look at Heloise, who was already holding a quill in his right hand and began to point at the diagram.
"And by the time of Sister Heloise, about two or three hundred years ago, the inheritance system of magic had changed radically. ”
Richard's tone couldn't help but increase, "At this time, the people in charge of inheriting the power are no longer the priests, wizards, and clergy who also practice magic. The Magic Tower appeared, and it spread rapidly, and the mages who lived in it became new inheritors. ”
He paused.
"As far as I know, this pattern has remained until now, but the power of the major magic towers has expanded rapidly, reaching a level that can affect the politics of many countries. ”
"The current magic system has long been unrecognizable. ”
"Runes, magic arrays, and spells are no longer distinct. The result of their integration with each other is that you have me, I have you, and the old system can no longer distinguish between them. ”
"According to Sister Heloise, magic is now divided into elemental magic, alchemy magic, change magic, summoning magic, and mirror magic. ”
"The magic of these five factions seems to have been in this pattern until now. At least in the knightly novels I read, that's how they are introduced. It seems that there are many large magic towers, which are simply divided into five factions internally, and even with many new magics, they also have the Elemental School and the Mirror School. ”
After this gleeful introduction, Diana was full of surprise.
"And what do you mean by that?"
Pointing to the drawings on the table, the enthusiastic Diana asked Richard a question.
Richard still didn't dare to look at her.
He was afraid that he would do something out of his mind.
Pointing to the location on the map, he said to Diana and the others, "After listening to what you said just now, I suddenly had a surprising conjecture, that is, the old system is not disappearing, but gradually merging into the new system. ”
"According to Sister Heloise, the magic tower in El is mainly based on the magic of the School of Change. It just so happens that the original magic system here, that is, the El spell, and even many divine arts, are similar to the magic of this school. Much like this, there are several places like Edo and Solan. ”
This shows that the magic tower system has basically developed gradually. Wherever they go, they absorb the original magic there, and through continuous fusion and elimination, they bring forth the new. ”
"Magic is progressively more complex. I don't want those books to say that the past is stronger than the present. ”
When Audrey heard this, she said mockingly, "But what can you do if you understand this? You still can't prove that you're smart through them......
"If you don't know the history, you don't know the present, and it's even more difficult to control the future. Richard interrupted her, then shook his index finger at her, his face on his face, "Through this research, I have a bold idea. ”
Seeing that they were all concentrated, Richard asked with a smile, "Do you know what caused the rise of the magic tower and the rapid development of the magic system six or seven hundred years ago?"
