Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Dream for More Than Years Reminisces the Past
Date: December 33, 18011 in the Magic Empire calendar.
No matter what the world is, in the face of the old year is about to pass and the new year is about to begin, it will use festivals to express something.
Even long-lived magicians feel the passage of time.
At this time of the year, the magic school also has a 9-day break from December 25th to 33rd, and Teacher Lilith is also a little relaxed, not even leaving them with a written copying homework, only an oral memorization homework.
This is really not difficult for the five people who can all "dream back to dreams", so a group of people meet until the last day of the holiday and go out for a stroll together.
"Look, look, Devil Rabbit Candy, delicious Devil Rabbit Candy!" The shouting on the street made Edison seem to have the illusion of using "dream recall" to return to the Spring Festival in his previous life.
"Hey, you're here, what are you doing, go and worship your ancestors! Let him bless us all to become official magicians as soon as possible!"
"Okay, okay, I'll worship, in fact, I've worshipped at home. Edison was speechless as the other four knocked him down in front of a huge sculpture.
It was a statue of "Nikola Tesla", the same as that offered in Edison's house: young, handsome, noble and gorgeous, perfectly fitting all the fantasies of male magicians.
But the difference is that the statue is still holding a book in its hand, which gives the whole sculpture a bookish atmosphere. This is also where Edison couldn't help but complain, "Nikola Tesla" is obviously a magician! And no one is dead! But all kinds of statues are erected in all corners of the continent.
What's even more outrageous is that there are statues holding swords to bless the return of warriors, holding coins to bless merchants to make money, and holding locks to bless the safety of their families...... There are a variety of statues of various images that cover almost all human industries.
Faced with such a strange situation, Edison just wanted to say: "Senior, you are enough, this sense of existence is brushed! God is also looking for a few angels to help, you are all covered, not tired!!"
Thinking about it like this, Edison still worshiped his ancestors who had a wide range of businesses. I hope you can become an official magician as soon as possible.
As soon as the worship was over, everyone followed the flow of people and walked back.
Along the way, there were also many children who were not a few years older than them who came to worship under the guidance of their parents, and they avoided the uniforms of their magic academy when they saw them from afar.
With the development of the mainland to the present, ordinary people also want to go to school and choose a career.
It's just that they learn different things from magicians, from the most popular warrior training, pharmacist training, alchemist courses, to ordinary learning to calculate accounts, learn to strike iron, and learn tailoring. It's just that most of them start special training at the age of 7 or 8, and the training time is only 5~7 years.
But the exception is those with magical qualifications, they are mysterious and noble, mavericks, and once every magic apprentice becomes a magician, he will default to the aristocratic law, which highlights the special nature of magicians.
But according to Edison's understanding, some of these perceptions are true, and some of them are due to ignorance and overkill.
Because of their intelligence far beyond ordinary people, they are often unable to communicate with their peers on an equal footing, and their overly unique behavior is easy to attract ostracism.
In fact, in the early days of the Magic Empire, most of the scattered commoner magicians had a bad childhood because their parents didn't know how to raise their children.
Those who have poor magical qualifications are okay, and poor magical qualifications make their appetites naturally big, which just nourishes their bodies, and they are often the child kings of children.
And those children with ordinary magical qualifications or above have absorbed a lot of nutrients because of the development of the brain domain, and the diet of ordinary families cannot keep up at all, and they have grown into a strange appearance of thin but big heads, and have been excluded and bullied.
After all, children solve problems with each other, not only by looking at their faces and figures, but also by more violence than intelligence.
......
Of course, all of this was many years ago, and almost no magician had a childhood like that now.
But this has also become one of the reasons why the magicians have formed together at the beginning of the establishment of the magic empire, and the magic family can grow rapidly, and it has also become the reason why the magicians are subconsciously hostile to the demon warriors.
And now, in the midst of constant overkill, the magician is the nobleman, and the notion that the nobleman is nobler than the commoner has become deeply rooted. Among them, the titles of nobles and commoners undoubtedly draw a deep chasm between magicians and ordinary people.
......
Along the way, everyone seemed a little dull because of the avoidance just now.
At this time, Paul spoke: "Actually, before I tested my magic qualifications, my biggest dream was to be a chef, and preferably a restaurant, so that I could eat enough every day, and no one would look down on me at that time, and I would say hello or something." ”
That's what Paul is good about, and he can be active and dull at any time.
"Look at your little bit of talent, I looked at my mother when I was a child, I stood on the stage, said a few words, and there was a group of people in the audience holding up cards, and a lot of gold coins were put into the account. This time it was Lisart who spoke.
"What's this, I will one day return to the Central Continent with the people of our family's lineage to regain the lost glory. "Well, there is no one else to say this except Inseyster.
It is said that their branch was originally a descendant of the Newton family, but by the time of Grandpa Inseyster's generation, it was too long to give birth to people who could learn magic, and they were finally driven to the Western Continent to spread out, so after that, each family member was born with a special potion to check for magical qualifications.
But the result was cruel, and none of the more than ten siblings in his father's generation had any magic qualifications or higher.
It wasn't until Insest Newton was born that he took a turn for the better, so at a young age, Insest was a bit old, as he was almost the son of a traditional magical aristocracy who had been instilled with the glory of his family.
Edison was a little speechless when he heard this, and thought, "I don't know how he became a close friend with Paul." ”
"I ...... I actually like being a flower arranger, but it's beautiful!" a soft voice came from behind Edison, startling him.
Edison complained frantically in his heart: Aren't you really called "Kuroko-chan"? But probably, only you can understand this "stalk" in this world. I don't know what happened to the other world, and how did my parents do there after I died?......
Edison's "Dream Reversal Technique" since he got it a few years ago is a good way for others to consolidate their memories, but for him who has memories of his past life and now has the talent of remembering them, it is simply a miracle skill.
Edison now remembers even the content of his previous life at a glance, and using this characteristic, combined with his super high soul mystery, he smoothly constructed a model of the earth in his previous life in the spiritual space, although it is still only a prototype.
But this model can not only be used to deduce and simulate the power of magic, but can even be regarded as the field seed of Edison's advanced legend in the future, which is not a big gain!
It's a pity that I thought there was a lot of useful knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, but because the world is different from the microscopic, and I haven't read those advanced mathematics books well, it seems a little stretched.
As he walked like this, Edison suddenly noticed that everyone's eyes were on him. "Is there anything on my face?" asked Edison, somewhat curiously.
"No, but everyone talked about their imagination when they were young, but you didn't say it. Insey replied.
"I'm going to travel around the world!" said Edison without thinking.
Lisart: "Cut." ”
Insest: "Hey!"
Paul: "It's not interesting. ”
Simily: "I think it's actually pretty good" (the voice is so low that I can't even hear Edison's hearing)
In short, in the midst of a boo, Edison and his party of five still had a good tour of this small city that is not famous in the entire Western Continent, the New Year's weather here, and the laughter here......
When night falls, fireworks bloom in the sky with a faint scent...... Everyone also ended this short party with great joy. (Common sense: The fireworks here are not ordinary products, but special fireworks made by magicians, and the smell emitted by the materials used after burning has a calming effect on insects.) )
It is estimated that no one would have imagined at this time that a few years later, this small city would be famous and famous for thousands of years because of the birth of several teenagers and girls here.
......
After eating, some exercise, Edison had no interest in night travel, so he could only give himself a "dream return technique" before going to bed, and it has been some years since he got this level 0 play, and until now, Edison subconsciously put this magic before going to bed every night to fall asleep.
In a trance, the topic of dreams during the day came to my mind again.
With a hint of curiosity, Edison rummaged through his memories and his original dreams in his dreams.
When I was a child, I was guided by adults to say that I wanted to be a scientist?...... No, that's big talk.
Is it a wish to repay the kindness of his parents for raising him?...... No, it's a responsibility.
Are you in college wondering if you want to find a good job after graduation?...... It's not, it's life.
No...... No...... No, Edison felt that the current state was very strange, obviously it was just a momentary curiosity to find the answer, but now, it has become a very important answer.
"If you don't untie it now, you'll regret it!" said Edison's voice in the dark.
Until Edison was in a dream, he recalled a memory that he was most unwilling to recall:
It was when he was in high school, when an adolescent boy met his menopausal parents, and there was a huge disagreement and conflict.
He felt like a fish in a fish tank, with muddy water and a narrow range of motion, and like the helpless cat in the "kick cat effect", that kind of life almost suffocated him, and he wanted to end his life for a while.
At that time, the only thing that allowed him to relax was to watch the protagonist in the novel unfold a bizarre adventure in a strange and bizarre place.
Then he could find a moment of peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Edison instantly understood: it turned out to be ...... This is my original dream! I am not willing to accept the size of the fish tank, nor can I bear the pool of stagnant water that will not be changed, and I am in a cage, but I want to experience the immensity and breadth of the sea, the height and vastness of the sky, cut off the invisible shackles, let go of my suppressed soul, and have a piece of my own world.
That's why he likes otaku culture, likes novels, and quickly adapts to this other world. "Live a wonderful, free life. This became his original dream,
"But if you want to live a wonderful and free life, you must also have enough ability to support yourself!" It was when Edison suddenly woke up to this, and the magic of heaven and earth swarmed towards Edison......
In his sleep, Edison, who had been deliberately wandering in the magic apprenticeship for many years, was promoted at this moment. It was midnight on the first day of the new year, and Edison became an official first-class mage.
To outsiders, the most incredible thing is that he actually made the cut naturally (explained in more detail below).
......
"The first magic is actually a miracle caused by people's strong desire for dreams!" is an excerpt from the foreword to The Origin of Magic, written by Nikola Tesla.
(PS: It's coming to 2016 soon, although it's not the Spring Festival, but I'm still here in advance to send my blessings!I hope you don't forget your original dream, or can find your own original dream, don't forget your original intention, no regrets! )
