"The root of magic is knowledge. Talent is important, but learning is even more important. "Im happened to teach three students.

After verifying that after the verification that Kaichi's method could indeed obtain pure salt, Imu accepted Kaichi as a student. The method of making snow salt covered the tuition of Jiayi for 10 years, but in the future, Jiayi will need to be used as a magic assistant after entering the magic to offset the magic materials used in the process of learning magic.

Finally, in the late spring and early summer of the year he was 9 years old, he began to study magic in earnest.

Regarding the gunpowder that Jia Yi used that day, Yi asked casually, and Jia Yi said that his teacher taught him, and he didn't pay attention to it later, probably for him, the power of gunpowder is still a little smaller. At least the power of Jiayi's match is a little small.

In the days that followed, Mage Im focused on the continent and the origins of magic. Let them learn magic with a general tone.

It is said that the continent was originally a whole piece, and there were countless races living on it, and everyone coexisted peacefully and struggled to survive on the continent, but gradually, conflicts arose, and the gods of the acquired gods rose, fighting for faith and spreading glory. At that time, the church was backed by the gods, the ruler of the earth, and in time the ocean, and there were also gods believed in by the merfolk and the merfolk people.

About 8,000 years ago, the first mages began to appear, and at first they produced spells because of their thinking about the world, their exploration of nature, and their analysis of gods and divine arts. At that time, mages were still very weak, not only inferior to priests, but even knights, and most mages could only do some tricks.

About 5,000 years ago, the gods fought a war that ended in a final duel between Mars, the god of war, and Tonatiu, the god of the sun. In order to compete for the king of the gods, the god of war Mars and the sun god Tonatiu fought a decisive battle in the Heavenly Mountain in the center of the continent, and finally the god of war failed, but he was unwilling to fail and blew himself up, dividing the entire continent into four parts.

To the north is Beisenzhou, which is where Jiayi and they are, to the southeast Antarctica, known as the place where the sun rises, to the southwest is Leizhou, and to the southwest, the middle continent of the ocean, and that ordinary humans in Beisenzhou are rarely able to reach.

When Jia Yi heard this part of the Battle of the Gods, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, are you saying that the current continent was opened by the spontaneous explosion of the God of War?" What about the Sun God?"

This god of war is too reckless, it's even more ruthless than Gonggong, I don't know what it is to stay in the green mountains and not be afraid of no firewood.

"Who knows, maybe he's seriously injured. There is certainly no fall, after all, the priest's prayers are still answered. Im said.

"Ah, Sensei, are there really priests? I mean, are there priests who can use divine magic? and gods exist?" said Kaichi strangely. He always thought that priests were unskilled, just ordinary people. After all, he had also seen priests, there was a church of the goddess of harvest in the town, and no priest had ever shown divine skills, and even medical skills were not as good as medicine.

Im said, "That's because Beisen is the stronghold of mages, and there are very few priests who really possess divine magic. ”

"After the War of the Gods, the gods never appeared on the continent again, but only gave the believers divine magic. Then there was the slow rise of the mages, and the contradictions between them and the church became more and more serious. The mage believes that only when more humans have knowledge can there be more mage bases. And the church thinks that the more people know, the less reverence they have for the gods. And the mage's attempt to gain insight into the secrets of the gods is a blasphemy against the gods. ”

"The dispute between the mage and the church grew worse day by day, and then there was another great war. In the end, the church failed because the gods no longer appeared and the mage appeared to surpass the legendary sage, and had to retreat to East Antarctica, and the mage was unable to advance any further, so a pattern was formed in the North Forest Continent dominated by humans and mages, and the East Pole was dominated by the church. ”

"Teacher, why did the gods disappear?" asked Kaichi again.

"Nobody knows, or rather, maybe someone does, but it's definitely not me. Im replied.

"What about Leizhou and Oceanic Continent?"

"Leizhou is mainly the residence of some humanoid races, and Oceanic Continent is the territory of elves, Oceanic Continent is the most xenophobic, and there are few other races. ”

Imu continued: "Is there any more problem? ”

"One last question, teacher. I have also borrowed the general history of the Lord's Mansion on the mainland, and I have never said anything about the gods and the mages and the church, why. Finally, isn't Kitamori Continent known as a mage? I've never seen a second mage. ”

Imu smiled and said, "If you read the history of magic, there are these records, and ordinary books will not introduce knowledge about magic. Also, you're having two questions. ”

"Cyber Collar is relatively remote, and there is no magic material related to mages, and few mages come here. Moreover, there are few mainland mages, so it is normal that they have not encountered them. ”

Through Yimu's introduction, Jia Yi can be regarded as knowing the basic situation of this world, and he only knew the basic situation of the annex Baili before, even if it was Yao Lao's adventure, he was only active in the southeast part of the empire.

After introducing a brief history of magic, Imu began to teach them some common knowledge and basic theories of magic. At the same time, he also pulled Jiayi to do various experiments on charcoal.

For the snow salt making skills provided by Jiayi, Yimu values the role of charcoal the most. Charcoal has a strong adsorption effect, which can remove many fine impurities, and has a great role in the production of magic potions, which can greatly save the cost of potions and improve the quality of potions.

In the past, if you want to get a pure solution, you need to filter the impurities in the solution through long-term precipitation and magic array, and it is not clean.

Imu took Jia to repeatedly test the adsorption effect of charcoal and explore its principle. Then, start writing your essay.

Jia Yi originally thought that he was writing experimental notes, but after asking clearly, he asked strangely, "Teacher, why do you want to write a thesis?"

"Of course not, it was handed over to the school. Im replied.

Kaichi asked, "Is it a magician's school?"

"In the northwest of the Empire, the Bernarengen Elementary Mage Education Academy, the world's first magical academy. There was a hint of pride in Yimu's answer, "The mages of the empire and the countries bordering the west have basically studied at Bernard Academy, and in the future, if you study well, I will recommend you to study at the school." ”

"So, Teacher, since it's a Junior Mage Academy, there's also a Higher Academy?" asked Jia Yi.

"No, there is no such thing as a High School of Magic, or rather, no matter what the school is called, the depth of magic taught is the same. ”

"All schools are basically divided into apprenticeship classes and mage classes, after the apprentice becomes a full-fledged mage, he can enter the mage class to study, but if he does not become a mage within 6 years, he will be forced to drop out.

"If there are students in the mage class who can break through to become white-robed mages, they will officially graduate, and if they are still gray-robed mages within 6 years, they will also graduate. After becoming a white-robed mage, the subsequent studies and promotions are all on their own. ”

Jia nodded and said, "Oh, but if you study for 6 years, your level is still very average." ”

"If you haven't studied well in six years, or if you don't meet the school's admission requirements, you can go to audit at your own expense. ”

"Huh?" said Kaichi in surprise, "Is there any difference between an auditor and a student?"

"The teacher will not give the auditors extra guidance, and the auditors can only rent the school's laboratory to conduct magic experiments. But this is not the case with the students, they have teachers to tutor them, the price of renting the laboratory is very low, and there are teachers with the most experiments. It can be said that most of the money spent by audit students is subsidized to regular students. If you are not satisfied with your studies after 6 years, you can become an auditor. ”

"Oh, are there any admissions criteria for the Mage Academy?"

"Apprentices under the age of 14 or full-fledged teachers under the age of 20. Later, if you meet the standards, I will arrange for you to study at the academy. ”
