Chapter 21: The Arrogance and Cruelty of the Mages

Tuesday, May 9.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the morning that the inferior and the strangled had just arrived at Yongquan Island.

Unlike Sogo Island, which is right next to Happiness Island, Yongquan Island is basically the farthest empty island from Happiness Island. They had set off a day earlier than Russell, but they arrived at their destination half a day late.

Otherwise, they need to set off for Sun Island, then transfer to Tongshen Island, and then transfer to an empty boat flat built on land - or rather, built on a clean island.

Later, they took a boat from this isolated island to Yongquan Island.

β€”β€”β€”β€” the dragon "Hudson" of Yongquan Island, he specially purified an island for the residents of Yongquan Island, and made it a special port to Yongquan Island. The island was named "Izumi-ryu Island".

The small island itself is far from land and cannot be a bloody battlefield in a tug-of-war between the two sides, so it has not suffered too much from spells and technologies.

Of course, the main reason is...... The aborigines of this area were exterminated by the mages as early as the Sharia Wars.

And when Strangling tells the story to the inferior, the inferior also raises the question of the inferior style: "How do you know these secrets?" Is the news channel reliable?"

Strangulation impatiently gave a strangulation-style answer: "What's the matter with you?"

In fact, this is the knowledge that Strangulation gained after meeting other mages while traveling in the dream world.

When the mages opened the mage tower here, they felt that it was a good place to stay. So they took over the nameless island.

Although the Mage Tower can float in the air forever, it also requires energyβ€”β€”β€”β€” and until the Mage Tower became a "floating island" and received the Dragon's Heart as an energy source, its energy actually came from all the mages who lived on the Mage Tower.

Spells are a solitary force that can only be maintained and promoted by constantly entering the dream realm.

And if you don't enter the dream realm for a long time, the spell will start to escape. A mage who lives alone can maintain his strength for a longer period of time.

When many powerful mages with close spells gather together, the spells they hold will gradually escape into the surrounding space, and the surrounding space will gradually bend with it......

It's like when a coil is energized, a magnetic field is generated. But this magnetic force is not created in a vacuum.

Because the "spells" obtained by the mages are not actually stored in themselves, but are a kind of "permission" to retrieve resources from the sea of the group's subconscious. This permission allows them to draw power from their dreams...... And if the authority they hold is highly unified, then these forces crowded together will form a special space similar to a "funnel", and the power from the dream world will continue to seep into the present world.

In fact, even if a powerful mage is living alone, this situation will occur, but it is relatively mild.

Those mages who live alone, the ordinary people around them will find that some "supernatural" things will begin to appear around them.

This is the phenomenon caused by the enrichment of energy in this field, and its essence is the power of the "unified spiritual energy" of the deepest part of the dream world, the sea of the subconscious of the group that "fulfills the wishes of mankind". Some people's "wishes" are captured by this fugitive energy, unconsciously, one-sidedly realized. As a result, there are some "supernatural phenomena".

And the Mage Tower is a giant device that maximizes the use and transformation of the energy provided by this field. Through long-term cultivation, this field is gradually solidified and permanent. Eventually, it can fly straight out of thin air.

But the mage tower can fly, but the mages need to eatβ€”β€”β€”β€” they need a supply point to stop.

As an isolated island far from the mainland, it has a fairly dense vegetation and a complete ecological chain, and the warm ocean currents around it can also bring many marine fish. It is a good place to be a beacon, a sentry turret, to threaten the angels of the Church from the depths of the sea. So this mage army descended directly from here.

Because it was already at war, the mages didn't have time to investigate the entire island. After waiting for a few months, they realized that there were still some aborigines here who did not understand the language and were obviously backward in technology. In order to prevent these aborigines from being taught by the church, generals

The infantry of the Guild were stationed in the village, and the mages wiped them out as well.

That's why the island became a "nameless island". Because the people who knew its original name no longer exist.

As the battle intensified, the mage towers that had been placed overseas gradually began to retreat inland. So they abandoned the island they had occupied.

But this massacre is even just the beginning.

After the birth of the mechanical angels and the reversal of the offensive and defensive situation, the church quickly realized the shortcomings of the mages and began to attack their suppliesβ€”β€”β€” that is, the villages that existed near the mage towers.

As the mage's casualties began to expand, so did the power of the mage tower. The mages have mastered a technique that allows them to use some of their "brains" as fuel to expand the hole of that "funnel" and thus overdraft the operation of the mage tower.

Those civilians face only two futures.

Either they disobey the mages and are exterminated by the mages; Either obey the enslavement of the mages and be exterminated by the Church.

That is why, it is civilians who suffer the most casualties in Sharia wars. Because the church really can't penetrate the protection of the mage tower, and in the face of the angel legion, the mages will die as long as they leave the mage tower, so they can't take the initiative to attack.

The Church can only win by cutting off supplies...... So when the final war entered the final stage, it directly became where the mage tower fell, and the missiles also landed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ At that time, at least tens of thousands of indigenous people died on the island. It is also said that it is more than 100,000 people. The specific information is not reliable because the aborigines here have been exterminated......"

Stragulating frowned slightly, and whispered, "Their bodies are destroyed as garbage, and their brains become the reserve fuel for the mage tower. ”

Even a "noble mage" like him felt that the actions of these ancient mages were too cruel and crazy.

This incident also caused an uproar in the mage camp for a whileβ€”β€”β€”β€” but the high-ranking mages were unimpressed. Because as they go deeper and deeper into the dream realm, their personal abilities become more and more outrageously strong, and they no longer regard themselves as the same race as those "mortals".

It was still the heyday of mage civilization.

High mages can modify their wills and destroy their bodies at will; With preparation, bullets, cannonballs, and missiles can gracefully evade and resist, enter other people's dreams, and destroy their minds while they are asleep. Even the destruction of the physical body can allow the spirit to enter the dream realm and occupy an area to continue to survive. If you're lucky, you can take someone else's body and be reborn......

It is even possible to move in space, to go back in time, to bring back to life.

Correspondingly, there are the "psionic beings" who have a natural awakening rate of less than 1 in 100,000 and are extremely weak, as well as those who are extremely weak, monotonous, and have poor performance.

Since the First Mage War, Mages have considered themselves the kings of the world.

Their madness is not just because they are polluted by "shadows...... Rather, it is because they see themselves as a "nobler race" through and through, and see the removal of other races as an "ecological purification and cleansing".

"My teacher thinks...... One of the reasons for the defeat of the mages was because of their current of thought. ”

"From a macro perspective, the Church was able to win not because the mechanical angels were strong enough...... It's because the spirits and dragons finally stood with them.

"It's not so much that the dragon chose the church, but that ...... It was the arrogant mages who drove the dragon away.

"There is a sentence from the teacher that I remember very clearly

"β€”β€”β€”β€” at the height of the mage civilization, the mages believed that those who were high, powerful and wise, and huge as mountains, were monarchs,...... Maybe it's just a puppet that can be enslaved. ”
