The abrupt question from Cruise François made Curt stunned for a moment, and the smile that had been easy froze on his face.

Do you believe in myths----This is a wonderful question, and Curt does not even know what Dean François intended to bring it up at this time. If these "myths" are the things that are now propagated in religious canons, then Curt can tell him the answer in no uncertain terms.

Indeed, records that are now circulating all over the world, describing the so-called "Age of Myths" thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, can be called myths. However, if we look at the authenticity of these materials, there are so many things that are almost impossible to verify because of their age.

Finding truth in these ethereal things is almost impossible to find a special stone in the sea. Although many scholars devoted themselves to the study of these materials, most of them did not return in vain.

But one thing is certain, for both religious and sorcerers, what is associated with the Age of Mythology is an extremely valuable treasure. Many people have found knowledge of the past from ancient ruins, and many of them have become practical technologies.

It has been speculated that in an era when only "myth" remained, there was once a highly developed civilization on this planet, and the study of the use of magic had even surpassed that of modern times. However, at a certain point in time, a catastrophe occurred that affected the entire ecosystem.

They believe that this is the result of the ancient magicians' excessive pursuit of powerful magical powers, and that the natural disasters they caused may have caused upheavals in the environment on the planet. This catastrophe is so horrific that it has almost destroyed the civilization on the planet. And there was a dark age that lasted for nearly a thousand years. As a result, civilization was destroyed and the transmission of knowledge was cut off. People are displaced, and in the end, all that remains is a myth of a few words.

The vast majority of these sorcerers were old scholars who indulged in ancient texts, and many of them were like the Ultramarines who tried to restore their past power. They are always proclaiming the good old days. I don't want to see any changes, and even hope that I can go back to the past one day.

"How can there be something in this world that is more and more powerful the longer it is? The so-called glorious 'age of myths' is just a far-fetched attachment of some people to the past. ”

Curt didn't reply, but Lizzie, who was sitting next to her, spoke: "But I would like to ask, can you tell us why we are asking this? I think Dean François must not believe in such a thing as the so-called 'wisdom of the ancients', after all, as far as I know, you have always adhered to the course of action of universal education and research, and are happy to use new technologies." ”

Although it is said that those who forget the past have no conscience, those who want to go back to the past definitely have no brains -- it is definitely not an era worth going back to. At least that's what Lizzie thought. Some people who want to glorify the past and want to restore the system of the past are definitely not a good thing.

It may have been possible that a highly developed civilization existed long ago, but since it was destroyed, it must have come into contact with some kind of territory that should not be treaded. And they even incurred a ruined end because of their actions, which doesn't seem to be good enough to be deliberately restored.

Cruise François, a representative of the reformists, was not a proponent of the study of the old era, although he attached great importance to the study of relics of the past. Rather, on the contrary, he has been asking for universal sorcery education, and has invested in making some of the techniques as practical as possible.

Thanks to the efforts of Dean François, the Institut Catrice has gained considerable international prestige. The achievements of the mages in the academy in recent years have been almost entirely based on the accumulation of new disciplines. And not the heritage of any old pedant who excavated the monuments.

Perhaps because Lizzie's attitude was too unkind, François on the other side of the screen suddenly laughed: "Indeed, as you say, Miss Leonster, the great product is definitely not a tower built on sand. Because some blows will completely collapse. If there really was a sufficiently glorious civilization in the past, then it would never have been left with clay tablets and sculptures buried in the ruins. ”

As Dean François put it, the ruins of those "mythical times" that have been found to this day. The level of their construction is indeed astonishing, but the quality is still far inferior to that of the classical era. Even the ancient texts that have been found are mostly records of religious texts or fragments of spells, often on metal plates or sculptures, and lack of records of institutions and societies. More scarce information about civilian life.

What kind of era was it? No one knows, let alone say it's a good era. Those who ask this question can often only see some afterimages from the past through the speculation of the researchers. However, even the person who presented this information may not have believed it.

The only thing that is certain is that the spell power of that era was stronger than it is now...... And more centralized. Only a very small number of "chosen ones" can exercise spells, and these people often also serve as priests, acting as a bridge between their own race and powerful beings.

Some people think that the soul of every living creature in the world all comes from the same root, and the stronger the soul, the stronger the power of the creature. Powerful enough to be a "natural disaster" that mere action can become a disaster, and ants and mayflies that are too weak to be detected are not only different in size, but also fatally different in the substance that exists as a "soul" on the inside of the body.

The size of the soul determines the differences between species, and individual differences between species are naturally affected by it and affect their talents. Some people survive as magicians precisely because they have different talents - in other words, they are inherently noble.

To this day, there are still some old-fashioned sorcerers who adhere to this philosophy, and even though the spread of education has created many sorcerers from the common class, they still do not recognize this fact. Descent ...... Or that the Chosen One has dictated their view of things.

"If the world is a car, it is undoubtedly always moving forward. Beautifully injecting a spell of magic into the circle in mid-air, Dean François looked in a certain direction and said, "Although there may be small things that make it stagnate, it is still progress on the whole." ”

When he said "some little things", his expression suddenly became a little strange, as if he thought of something troublesome. Soon, he put down what he was holding and walked over to the plane projected by Aurodin, as if he was about to announce something important.

"Wizards are researchers, so they're open to new things, and they're willing to contribute to the progress of the world—at least that's what I thought before. His expression was a little solemn, and the huge Rubik's Cubes behind him obviously occupied most of his energy.

Aurrodin may not have understood the existence of "magic", but its projection is a true reflection of the situation where Dean François was. The azure magic hovered around the mage like a surging atmosphere, driving a giant Rubik's cube like a star chart.

The projection may have shown only a small part of the Rubik's cube weaved by Dean François, but this alone shows that this mage known as the "Wind of the Twelve" is extremely powerful. The pitch-black cocoon seen in the depths of the central square was large enough, but François's spell was really supporting all the "wind" beings in the air, allowing them to circulate according to their own wishes.

The air flickered with a large amount of dim light that seemed to be substantial, and they swirled in mid-air from time to time, leaving behind them a series of ambiguous and wonderful lines. It was a high concentration of magic that would suffocate ordinary people as long as they stayed for a second, but Cruise François controlled them as freely as he wished, just a few casual gestures, allowing the magic to draw a complex trajectory.

A drop of sweat ran across François's cheek, but he didn't care about the incredible mana exertion, but he took a breath and continued: "Yes, I thought so before I met Sain Democra...... The dead are a thing of the past, and even if anyone tried to find something of value from their graves, they would not wake up the zombies that had slumbered in the old era. ”

The dead are dead, and future generations may be able to find some of the remains of the past from the ruins, but at most they will be stuffed into a museum. And some of the relics of the old times may touch people's nerves and inject some new vitality into them.

But in any case, these things belong to an era that has passed, and they are the beings that have been run over by the wheel of change. When people have gathered up what they can leave as memorials, they should be buried again instead of holding the remains on their heads.

Apparently, Sain Demokra not only picked up the corpses from the grave, but also wanted to use magic to drive them to fight for him. The remnants of the old days became the power of the sorcerer, allowing him to sow the seeds of chaos and unrest in the land.

"Those who want to find something from the wreckage of the old times are not naïve dreamers, but researchers who have gone to great lengths to restore a true history. François said flatly, but with a hint of inconspicuous resentment in his words, "On the contrary, some obstacle that tries to stumble over the car's way forward with the help of thorns from the past will only be crushed by its wheels." ”

Whether his power comes from the ancient mysteries of the mythical age or the modern spells he has repurposed, Cruise François has the confidence to overcome him. (To be continued......)
