Chapter 39: Progress
(3)
Magic comes from the soul, and improving the power of magic is actually increasing the strength of the soul.
Leaving aside the influence of talent for the time being, the ways to increase the strength of the soul are ranked according to efficiency, in order: getting the gift of a high-ranking existence, fighting to the death, secreting adrenaline, magic application cultivation, and ups and downs of life.
The citizens of the Fantasy City of Peace and Security follow the path of "magic application cultivation", although they do not deliberately practice penance, but by applying spiritual magic to all aspects of life, they use far more magic every day than wizards in the outside world, and in disguise, they practice at a moderate intensity day after day, year after year.
The efficiency of medium-intensity cultivation is very low, but if the cultivation time is extended to two hundred years, the effect will still be obvious, to give a few examples of the first generation of citizens: as long as Xiya is not indoors, wherever she goes, flowers can grow, and even the desert can bloom; Ah Gluttony has created the exclusive spell of the Big Stomach King, and the ingredients will repair themselves and will never be finished; Ah Lazy's grocery store realizes full puppet operation, and she can sleep while doing business normally; Vuti has magical armor when she uses the babbling sword technique, which can knock through the dark wizard's evil spell; When Margaret was about to perform, there was a heavenly sound in the sky.
According to Lyle's standards, the first three generations of citizens have reached the realm of "doing as you please" in their daily lives...... Forget it as you like, even if he founded the martial arts festival a long time ago, there are few citizens who are interested in dry fighting, and almost all of them are war scum except for Futi.
As for those citizens below the age of great-grandchildren, in addition to the training time, they also have to actively go to the main school of the Magic Academy to receive courses and read the experience summary of their predecessors.
"Ahh Two hundred years of development have made the fantasy city as a dream, with spacious and diverse living spaces, many citizens do not leave once in ten years, and Nicol and Perenal are the most lovely, choosing a pleasant place to live outside for a few years every ten years.
Incidentally, this is also the reason why the existence of alchemy stones is known outside, and everyone originally thought that the immortality of the Lemay couple was caused by their son's magic.
"Pay attention to the wording, you're not much younger than us." Perenal shook the eye knife fiercely, and the next second he changed to a kind smile, looking for the 'maid team' in his son's mouth, and the 'daughters-in-law' in his eyes.
After his wife walked away, Nicol answered his son's question just now: "It's very chaotic outside during this time, I discussed it with your mother, and it's safer to come back early." ”
"Huh? Didn't you say that the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act had been enacted a few years ago? Lyle said in surprise.
Muggle persecution of wizards began throughout Europe in the early 15th century, and many wizards were imprisoned and sentenced to death for their witchcraft activities? There were also many Muggles who were burned as witches.
The situation was not resolved until the 17th century? Wizards and Muggle conflicts even led to wizards who were friendly with Muggles being suspected or even abandoned by their peers.
For this reason, the European wizarding organization issued the "International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Law", the policy is to "go underground and steal a living", in the form of "restricting the freedom of wizards"? Forcing the originally loner wizards to gather together to live? Forming larger, more manageable communities that don't need to rely on Muggle supplies.
From a personal point of view? Lyle hates this kind of cowardice policy, but he has gone to the Antarctic to build a city? I am no longer qualified to protest as a French wizard, and I can only objectively admit that this is a solution to the problem.
Nicol smiled bitterly: "A few years ago...... What do you think of the efficiency of the wizarding world? Is 'a few years' enough? ”
"Who knows, I only lived in a small wizarding street for 11 years, and then moved to the village of Shyares, and I didn't have any contact with the administrative system of European wizards." By the way, the administrative efficiency of the Fantasy City is so high that it flies, and sometimes as soon as a proposal is made, Dalia will rush out to start construction with Margaret in one hand and Lyle in the other.
Nicol also has no intention of talking about policy issues? He asked, "By the way, are you still accepting students now?" ”
“…… Do you mean branch campuses? "I have two campuses at the Academy of Magic? The main school is in the fantasy city? Campus in the ruins of the village of Chiarez? It can be regarded as allowing the birthplace where the resources have been exhausted to continue to shine.
"I also know you're not going to let the uncensored crowd flood into the City of Fantasy out of compassion." Nicol smiled helplessly? In the past two hundred years, my son has rejected countless applications from wizards to join, including children, "It's just that this year I met a lot of families who couldn't find a partner to hold together, and I thought that at least let them have a place to live." ”
"If it's not based on the premise of 'entering the City of Fantasy'? Just for refuge, I don't mind letting them live in the branch for three or four years, because the branch is big enough anyway. "It's so big that it doesn't make sense, the branch is a teaching area used by foreign wizards to learn spiritualistic magic, and the peak number of students is not more than 10.
"In another three or four years, the chaos outside will almost have died down, right?" Nicol hesitated.
Lyle waved his hand: "Whatever, this is Antarctica anyway, compared to those mundane things...... Dad, do you need me to give you a routine introduction to the changes in the city? Alyssa designed an interesting area~"

The will of the earth does not allow the existence of the Fantasy City, but it will not 'attack the Fantasy City' and the 'Attack the citizens of the Fantasy City outside', as long as Lyle cannot be eliminated, these small actions are meaningless.
Lyle doesn't mind hunting enemies one by one to reduce the risk of overturning, but without accurate location information, he can't just wander out and seek the Will of Earth Enforcer when he has nothing to do.
As a result, every thirty years or so, Lyle fights with the resurrected Earth Will Enforcers (except the Grim Reaper) on the edge of Antarctica.
After the third fierce battle, the news spread among the merfolk living in the nearby seas, and after several turnarounds, it reached the ears of Peluchar, and the citizens learned what Lyle was doing secretly, and his personal prestige had surpassed the height of Selzeveld.
- And then, the seventh decisive battle of the early 17th century.
"We've all dealt with each other so many times, how about talking together before the war, it just so happens that the city has recently developed a new cuisine, which is delicious~" Lyle took out several tables from his pocket and placed them on the snow-covered shore.
The three phantom dragons led by "............" did not respond, obviously not expecting this development.
"What~ I'm worried about six consecutive wins, I need to do things in food? Or do you have the illusion that you had an incurable wound on me thirty-two years ago? Lyle shrugged.
"Humph!" Provoked by the words, the three phantom dragons turned into human forms and sat down at the table.
Minor characters such as the Rain Girl, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Headless Horseman followed behind, each finding a place to sit down.
“…… What do you want? The serious middle-aged man who had transformed into a water phantom dragon asked.
"I don't want to do anything, although you act according to the will of that cautious earth, don't be narrow-minded." Lyle shook his fingers, and all kinds of dishes fell on the table, "Life and death after a full meal and drink~ Isn't it very emotional?" ”
"Yes, I don't hate you as a person." The fierce-faced Earth Phantom Dragon took over, "But I'm still going to kill you, don't think I'm still the same as last time." ”
Contrary to the wizarding world, where the average strength has been declining, the executors of the will of the earth have been strengthening.
"You don't get tired of saying the same thing every time." Lyle picked up a colorful cocktail and ignored the imminent threat of death, "Anyway, Selzeweed's alcohol is amazingly bad, can you drink, do you need me to prepare juice for you?" ”
"I want wine."
"Wine."
"Wine is fine."
In every sense, the Wind Phantom Dragon is a special existence.
