Chapter 68: The Energy Factor and the Tree of Civilization (Part II)
"Space technology is the basic means by which wizards like us explore the entire forest of civilization. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The woman continued: "And the so-called civilized forest is a huge collection of spaces composed of one civilization tree after another. The tree of civilization is composed of countless worlds of the same civilization, and each world is a leaf on the tree, from bottom to top, arranged according to the level of civilization development. ”
"But not every civilization has the ability to develop into a civilization tree, and the vast majority of civilizations in the space that has been explored now are in a state of scattered leaves, and a single world is a civilization. ”
"And our wizard civilization is the existence of the tree of civilization that has successfully developed among many civilizations, and it belongs to the category of good strength. Our current world is nothing more than a third-level civilization in the Wizarding Tree. Ranked in the lower middle level on the Wizard's Tree. However, despite this, the first dean of our Bones Town, the fourth-level wizard Ralph, once served as an honorary member of the House of Representatives of the Wizarding Alliance. ”
"In addition, I would like to remind you that the basic laws of different civilizations are very likely to be different. When you explore space in the future, if you discover new worlds, don't act rashly...... Uh, what are you talking about with your apprentices, you're still far from space exploration. ”
Vane, Taylor, and Frank were still huddled in a corner, taking notes carefully. It's not that they want to shrink here, it's that there are so many people that they can barely get a place here.
Vane also recently learned that there are tens of thousands of wizard apprentices in this barren bone town!!
Like them, there are as many as 800 people who have just been recruited this year.
And Vane understood why the town was empty. Because everyone is either huddled here to listen to lectures, or do experiments in the major dark towers, or go out to do tasks together, few people wander around the town.
Moreover, this black tower can be said to have brought space technology to the limit, even if it seems to be a simple and low black tower, in fact, there is something else inside.
The circular classroom, where Vane is now, can accommodate hundreds of people. From the outside, it looks like a small black stone tower.
The town of barren bones is said to be a small town, but the wizards do not live in the town, but in the wizard towers on the edge of the town, the dark towers rise in the sky, in this black and white world, like a god to give people a sense of pressure.
Most of the people living in the town are slaves and monsters. Slaves were paid tribute by the major principalities attached to the town, including soldiers captured in war, some notorious criminals, but more often mainland slaves who were bought and sold at will by human traffickers.
As for the monsters, there are many different types, in addition to the half-snake people that Vane saw when he first entered the academy that day, there are many strange-shaped non-human creatures. As for the origin of these creatures, some say they came from another world, while others say that they are the product of human experiments by wizards.
These slaves and monsters inhabit the Black Town, numbering in the thousands, and provide services to the wizards in the surrounding towers.
"The power of the law is the most unfathomable. The source of our wizards' power comes from the origin law of this world, and if we come to a world of alien laws, then we are almost no different from mortals. The middle-aged woman on the stage continued: "But there are exceptions to everything, if the strength can reach the realm of a high-level wizard, then you can condense your own laws and achieve a world. At that time, even if you are out of the world of wizarding laws, you will be able to travel around. We call these apostles the void. ”
Apostle of the Void.
Many apprentices in the audience held their notebooks one by one, concentrating and fascinated.
Vane was in the crowd and suddenly remembered that when he first met Yolanda, he said that he was an apostle of the void, could he be telling the truth?
The middle-aged woman glanced at the many apprentices in the audience, shook her head, and said, "Don't think about it, our continent has not produced a single Void Apostle since records began. How difficult is the path of a wizard, and the slightest mistake will fall short. ”
At this time, one of the apprentices raised his hand and asked, "My lord, what should be the path of the wizard's advancement?"
"What we call practice is meditation. The so-called meditation is actually the continuous absorption of various free energy factors into the body, and the body as a container to store the original power. The middle-aged woman quickly waved her arm, and a jumping flame appeared in her hand: "And the origin power in the body can mobilize the free energy factor of the entire world at the moment of casting the spell, forming a destructive and terrifying witchcraft." ”
"As for the specific cultivation method, your guru should have already planned it for you, and you can ask him if you have any questions. The middle-aged woman didn't seem to want to linger on this topic for long, and soon started another topic.
......
In the dead of night, there was silence in the entire Black Tower of Sixty-Seven.
"Mentor?" Vane lay in his room, a wry smile on his face.
It's been half a month since he came to the town, but Vane hasn't even seen the face of the legendary Jared mentor, and every time everyone asks about Thomson, the old butler just smiles kindly and says, The master is conducting a key experiment, and he can't be separated for the time being, so everyone needs to be patient and wait.
Wei En simply took advantage of this half a month to completely adapt to the atmosphere of this college.
At the same time, he also learned that in addition to the five people in this class, there were sixteen other old apprentices who lived in this black tower like him, but most of those old apprentices maintained an attitude of rejection towards the newcomers like Venn and were unwilling to communicate more with his side.
The five newcomers in Vane's group also split into two small groups. One is a small group of three wandering wizards born from Vane, Frank, and Taylor, and the other is a small group of apprentices born from two other families.
"Knowledge is power. I didn't expect it to be fulfilled in this world. Vane picked up a book and flipped open the cover.
Although in the previous world, some people shouted that knowledge is power, but in the interstellar era, Vane believed more that capital is power, and knowledge is just a tool for capital to extract surplus value.
But here, knowledge can be truly transformed into power, and supernatural power!
"If we can analyze the essence of these energy factors, we may be able to peek into the secrets of the origin of this world. Vane casually flipped through the book in his hand.
The book is called "The Autobiography of Ralph Benjamin", and it is a personal biography of the first director of Bones Town. This book is one of the few books in the entire college that is free and open to the public.
The thick black book chronicles the legendary life of this fourth-level wizard, including what he saw and heard during his early adventures. It contains a large number of customs and customs from all over the mainland, as well as various gossip secrets.
The only pity is that this autobiography came to an abrupt end after Ralph broke through the world barrier and entered the higher-level wizarding world.
"In this world, only freedom and truth will live forever. The title page of the autobiographical book was engraved with such a line of words, which made Vane's mouth curl up.
The first dean is very compatible with his own character.
Vane was about to continue looking when a soft knock came from outside the door.
