Chapter 644: "Demigod in the Drinking Hall"
The azure Aegean Sea divides Greece.
To the west of the Aegean Sea is Greece proper, and the regions on the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea are part of Panhellenia, bordering Persia further east.
Miletus, known as the holy city of magic and philosophy, was in this city-state where Thales opened the door to magic and philosophy.
Here, the earliest school of philosophy and magic, the School of Miletus, was born, and it is also the world's first magical organization.
There is only one gladiatorial arena in Miletus, and it is not even as large as the sports field.
The tallest building in Miletus is the Legendary Magic Tower.
The largest and grandest building in Miletus is the famous Great Library.
The forest grows in the center of Miletus, and the white rock buildings throughout the forest form the Great Library.
Different from ordinary libraries, the city-state's large library has a famous 'drinking hall'.
Everyone can bring books to the parlor and drink a variety of drinks.
Unlike the rest of the library, which is quiet and quiet, the drinking room is always noisy.
The rest of the library is a place where readers communicate with authors.
The drinking hall is the place where all ideas collide.
A drink, stirring the fire of thinking, colliding with another cup of light, will surely raise a flame.
The Greco-Persian War and the advent of the incarnation of the god of medicine lasted for half a year, and the heat finally subsided.
A month ago, Wright, the new manager of the Drinking Hall, appeared, and no one knows how this unknown wandering mage got this position.
However, everyone was very happy with the middle-aged magician in his thirties.
Instead of changing the rules of the parlor, he encouraged the self-deprecating magicians and philosophers to talk about it, and made it more varied and more flavorful.
At this moment, Wright is wearing a black mage long-distance run, wearing a gold mage badge on his left chest.
He has erect black hair, dark eyes, and not as fair skin as the Greeks, but with some oriental charm.
He was holding a cup of tea, as if warming his hands, smiling at the corners of his mouth, listening to a large discussion.
In his dark pupils, a group of "drinking hall demigods" with teeth and claws were reflected.
Most of the people in the drinking hall are gathered in the middle, the people in the outer circle stand with drinks in hand, and the people in the inner circle sit on the sofa and talk loudly.
A few others walked in with great interest after seeing it outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows.
The famous "Demigod Meeting" began again.
"If you solve Persia, you must solve Egypt!"
"Yes, regarding the death of the plague, the Temple of Medicine clearly pointed out that it did not originate in Greece at the earliest, although it did not say it directly, but mentioned a few words about the dark wizards of Egypt! It is clear that the temple side does not want to tear itself apart from Egypt, but we cannot sit idly by. ”
"I think a war should be waged against Egypt to make them understand that although they are strong, they are already old men in their twilight!"
"I support the fight against Egypt, but I am against a full-scale war, which is not good for Greece. Unless...... Su Ye is the leader. ”
"Don't mention Su Ye, I'll be angry when I mention it! Those nobles did everything to fight Su Ye, causing Su Ye to be disheartened, disappear for some reason, and it was impossible to lead the troops. ”
"I've heard that Euclid spied on the power of fate through magic and geometry in order to save the Greeks. However, a certain 'good' temple did not allow Euclid to use this power to save people, and killed Euclid . Su Ye was disheartened, so he left. ”
"I've heard that things are more important to Euclid than we could have imagined."
"Anyway, no matter what, don't think about letting Su Ye lead the troops. This Greece is not worth half a drop of sweat from Su Ye! ”
"I don't think war matters, culture is more important. We want to resist Egyptian culture, and to resist Egyptian culture, we must start by resisting witchcraft. We need to do everything we can to sever the relationship between magic and witchcraft so that the Egyptians don't always think of themselves as the ancestors of magic! ”
"Yes, you must resist the Egyptian wizards!"
"Agreed! We magicians are the orthodoxy of this world, and wizards are just superficial users of primordial power, which is fundamentally different from magic. ”
"Yes, I have long seen that the Egyptian wizards are not pleasing to the eye, and they have obviously lost their desire to make progress and have begun to degenerate, but when they see us magicians, they look arrogant, as if we have received a great favor from them."
"Without the great philosophical father of magic, Thales, wizards would have fallen long ago, magic is helping wizards to continue their lives, and magic is the elder of witchcraft!"
"Not bad!"
"Wizards and witchcraft are nothing remarkable."
There was a lot of talk and disdain for Egyptian witchcraft and wizards.
Some of the magicians frowned and said nothing.
Wright shook his head slightly, placing the white porcelain carved teacup on the bar.
"Wright, you don't seem to agree with our point of view?"
A middle-aged golden-haired golden mage looked at Wright with a smile.
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Wright, the golden mage, who was leaning against the crimson bar.
"Hamoro, it seems that you are worried about not being able to get the status of the manager of the drinking hall, so why don't you just take on a magical challenge with Wright?"
Harmonro shrugged with a smile and said, "I'm not that bored yet, I just want to hear what Wright thinks." I like the changes he makes to the parlor, but I hate his pretending to be mysterious, as the master of the parlor, he should talk big, he should talk nonsense, he should mingle with us, and even more like a 'demigod in the parlor' than we are. Why, Wright, don't you dare to express your opinion? ”
Wright smiled slightly, put his right arm on the bar, leaned back, and looked at everyone: "I don't disagree with your views, I think that the world has countless angles, and everyone has their own opinions, and they all deserve respect." However, I have a familiar feeling as I listen to your conversation this time. It's like...... Just like the nobles are talking about commoners and slaves, thinking that the nobles have better bloodlines, so they should kill all the commoners and slaves, so that this world only retains pure noble blood. ”
"Wright, you've said that."
Almost half of the magicians in the parlor sank.
In particular, several Sanctuary magicians who criticized Egypt and wizards.
Hamonro laughed and said, "Okay, since you say your opinion, then my goal has been achieved, then, tell me why you think we look like a group of nobles." ”
On the surface, he didn't give up, but he was helping Wright out of the siege.
"The nobles believe that whoever has a strong bloodline is better, and that the poor should be eliminated; Wizards believe that whoever masters the elemental power first is better, and that the magician who mastered the elemental power after should be eliminated; And those of you here think that whoever is more powerful is better, then it is necessary to eradicate backward witchcraft, and there is no difference in essence. Isn't it? Wright asked.
The parlor was quiet.
Some are even more angry, others are lost in thought.
"I'm a little confused, your words sound very reasonable, but what we said, is it wrong?" Hamunro asked, thinking.
"No one is wrong, it's just that different people are using different things as standards to measure. The aristocracy is measured by blood, the wizards are measured by time, and you are measured by strength and region, so why don't we use a more neutral and unbiased standard to measure our relationship with wizards and even Egypt? ”
"I don't think we're wrong, if we can't distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong, if we can't judge that the wizard is wrong, we magicians will be judged to be the wrong party, and we magicians will be suppressed and ridiculed." A magician said.
Wright said: "So I said, you are simply like the nobles are the same molded ceramics. I would like to ask you a question in particular, did you become a magician in order to learn and master magic, or did you become a magician in order to rebel against a wizard? ”
Everyone was lost in thought.
"Even if we're here to become legendary magicians, it's okay to suppress Egyptian wizards." A young magician stubbornly authentic.
Wrett nodded and said, "Maybe for you, hating Egyptian wizards in your heart will not affect you, but I have found in reality that my hatred of Egyptian wizards will affect my progress, I will give a simple example." ”
"We all know that in the basic magic array, there is a series of arrays called the 'Old Witch Array', and these formations were created entirely by Egyptian wizards. Back then, I hated Egyptian wizards so much that I got bored with the old witch formations and couldn't learn them. After a long time, I realized that my mastery of the magic array was extremely slow, and it dawned on me, and I hurriedly went back to study the old witch array in depth, only to realize that I had missed a lot. ”
"In addition, part of the elemental theory system belongs to the wizard theory, I didn't look at it carefully at all, because I thought that wizards were so backward that they were not worth watching, but after I was promoted to the gold rank, I saw the old elemental theory by chance, and some doubts suddenly became clear. I would like to ask you, have you ever had the experience of something that you were against or didn't care about, but ended up helping you? ”
Many magicians nodded helplessly.
There are also some magicians who suddenly come to their senses, and some even show remorse.
The faces of those Sacred Realm Masters all softened.
Wright looked at Hamonro and said, "Why do you hate wizards?" ”
"Because they are very arrogant, and always feel that we magicians owe them, and consider themselves the ancestors of magicians." Hamonro asked.
"Okay, then, are all wizards like that?"
"Only partially."
"Well, let's say a quarter of wizards think so. That's okay, right? ”
Many magicians nodded instinctively.
"The wizards of Egypt have been passed down over the years, and the total number should be more than 100,000, so we will calculate it according to 100,000, that is, we have identified the idea of 25,000 wizards without conclusive evidence. But in reality, we don't have access to so many wizards at all, so, Hamonro, how dare you be sure of so many people? Wright asked.
Hamoro was stunned for a moment, blushed, coughed lightly, and said, "I've seen several wizards look down on us magicians. ”
