Boring history lessons. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The class was taught by an old man, and the things he talked about were more old than himself, and Rhodes had always dozed off, but what he had learned today was quite simple and easy to understand, and the boy who had just been hit by his father on his head was not sleepy, so he listened with his chin on his back.

"The Age of Magic is calculated in a natural phenomenon called the 'Magic Tide' in this world, and it has long been discovered that the concentration of magic in the heavens and the earth fluctuates over time, and the power of magic and the difficulty of training mages also change...... A thousand years ago, the legendary mage Finn Daber came up with the theory of 'Magic Tides'. He believes that the concentration of magic power is like a tidal wave, rising and falling in a cycle of reincarnation close to once every two hundred years, and each time it reaches its peak, it will slowly decrease, and when it reaches the bottom, it will recur and start to rise again. ”

Isn't that just reading from a book...... Rhodes frowned, looked down at the portrait of the legendary mage Finn in the book, and began to try to add two mustaches to his lips.

"The difference between the low and high points of mana concentration is huge, on short-lived lows...... Even the best mages can't cast high-level magic...... But this situation will not last long, and after ten or twenty years of mana resurgence, the mana concentration will return to a high level. It's not low now, and any child pulled out on the street can sense magic and even carry out magic mobilization operations through training with the assistance of catalysts. None of the students here are magically isolated, right...... There was a boy in the last session, that is, no matter what catalyst he relied on, he couldn't sense the magical physique of the existence of a little magic power, but everyone has their own ability, and most people can't become mages anyway, so it doesn't matter. He is smart enough to work as an administrator in the Royal Library, and he mixes well, and his salary is not lower than mine. ”

The students let out a slight laugh, and it is well known that the old guy who teaches history will talk about how he was when he was young or how other people's families were doing, and once the class is turned into a tea party, he will never be able to return to the textbook in five or six minutes.

......

Finally bringing the topic back from the teacher's salary, personal development and even future money, he finally continued the course: "Well, it is estimated that there will be several mages in your generation, and a magic trough has just passed, unless someone lives to be more than two hundred years old, most of the students here will not see the next magic trough in their lives." In a few years, powerful mages will basically be able to use high-level magic, high-level magic...... That's enough to destroy buildings and towns—and of course I won't, so I won't mislead people. Over the next few decades, the level of mana will continue to slowly increase, reaching a peak and then beginning to decline until the beginning of the next era of magic. Today's content is very simple, there is not much to memorize, just understand it. ”

Rhodes had already added a beard and glasses to the legendary mage Finn, and his mood improved slightly, but the slow pace of the class made him impatient, so he simply turned the page backwards and read for himself.

Every time the mana concentration drops to its lowest point and begins to rise, it is the first year of the Age of Magic. The Midland Empire rose at the beginning of the Sixth Age of Magic, and the first year of the First Age of Magic was the point of the rally in the level of mana twenty years after Finn proposed the theory, and it has been about a thousand years since then...... The history of magic is very long, and there are very few written records. It has only been 3,000 years since humans invented writing, and the time to master magic is even shorter.

The Age of Magic is an important concept of time for mages, and that's easy to understand. It stands to reason that it should not mean much to people in other fields. But this is not the case, although the magic era is not a common way of dating on the mainland, but every time the era changes and a new round of magic tide surges, it will give birth to many powerful spellcasters and energy lives at the same time, and a large number of strange lives and characters will emerge, and this will further cause violent changes in the internal and external forces of various countries, and then lead to a major reshuffle of the entire continent and even the world pattern.

As for whether it is a coincidence or related, there are many theories, and it is still impossible to unify the voice. As it happens, this time the beginning of the Age of Magic coincided with the year when the kingdom began to expand outward, so the Sixth Age of Magic, also known as the "Midland Age", became the official chronology of the new empire, and for Rhodes and most of the children here at this time, the number of years of the Sixth Age of Magic was also exactly their age.

On the other side of the Far Central Mountains, the Eriken Empire is legendary because it is the first human regime in history to experience two and is about to reach the third Magic Tide before it falls.

Roy was already familiar with the content of this lesson, and she sat upright in her seat, glanced at her brother who was lazily lying on the table not far away, and shook her head imperceptibly. Although she also joked about Rod's dream of slaying dragons, she understood her younger brother, her parents never asked her sister and brother to be excellent, but the pressure objectively existed, outsiders only knew that their father was strong and deeply favored by the emperor, but only those close to him would know that in fact, her mother was also a mage with unfathomable strength.

But the truth is far more than that, there are some secrets that even her brother does not know - in public, her father gave Emperor Kyle enough face like a loyal nobleman, but in private, the latter is more respectful to Duke Winway.

One summer night when he was ten years old, Roy was looking for his younger brother who refused to go to bed in the courtyard of his house, when he accidentally discovered that the emperor had come to the door in disguise at night.

At first, she felt a pang in her heart: Why did His Majesty sneak over at such a late hour, could it be that there was some secret of an invisible person, such as having an affair with his mother? Shocked, she quietly followed and found that the emperor did not sneak around, but went straight into the study, and the voice from the room was that of her father, who was supposed to be out of the house. Although her eavesdropping was immediately discovered and failed to touch the content of the secret meeting, the matter had been broken by her, and she couldn't kill her mouth - it was normal for the ruling class of the empire to have secret meetings at night, and the problem was that if the emperor had something to discuss with important ministers, he would always send someone to summon him directly, but when His Majesty saw his father, he came to find him in person!

The reason for this is unknown, and when she asks her mother, she only laughs and does not say anything. But what is certain is that his parents are definitely not just an ordinary duke and couple.

......

The girl who discovers this secret is under more pressure than her brother, but unlike her brother's dream of slaying dragons, she has more realistic but grander ideals. To realize this dream, it takes an extremely solid foundation and strong strength, and what she can do is to study carefully no matter what courses and skills she has, so that she has no shortcomings.
