Chapter 495: The Olive Branch of the Highland Mage 4

"Kid." The Highland Mage put down the teacup and rested his elbows on his crossed knees, palms up. Arch could barely make out the shadow of the ancient ritual, and though he couldn't make out the meaning, he suspected he had guessed the meaning of comfort and mercy correctly.

He imagined that in ancient times, the priest used such gestures and eyes to pity the unresolved family members, he belonged to the gods, and no longer belonged to you. It's a pity that he was born in the age of reason, knowing that those who are lost don't belong to God either, they just stop the body running, the breath stops, the circulation stops, and the cells stop replicating. They just stopped, and the living can only continue to run.

He couldn't listen to what the Highland Mage said next.

"Ancestral mages are all telepathic, and telepathy is also an essential characteristic of those who can become gods. I don't know if Gen-la Du Zhengyi will be able to become a god, but the only known way to practice is for Gen-la Mindfulness to connect spirits through meditation. Master Du Zhengyi, unfortunately, may have preliminary telepathic ability, but he is still not a true mind mage, and he cannot transcend ** to reach the other side through collective practice. In addition to this, even if you don't take this into account, it takes a long time to practice. While there are occasional people who reach detachment at a young age, many more practice until they are very old before attaining perfection. I've heard that Venerable Du is very sick, and his natural time should not be enough to practice. ”

"Hmm." Roach lowered his head to look at his hand, and after a while remembered that no one in the room continued to speak, he smiled and looked up again, "It's okay, I probably thought of it too." ”

The Highland Mage looked at him calmly, he could feel the calm spiritual fire of the Highland Mage, and he thought that they might be walking on the road to the other side, and they could put an end to most of these sorrows in the world. The Highland Mages are not indifferent to the affairs of the world, they solve what they can, stop what they can, and help what they can help. Judging by the reputation of the Highland mages that Roach had heard before, they never spared help, but they also never grieved about what they could not do.

So what the Highland Mage said next was logical, and Roach thought of it too.

The Highland Mage continued, "Loneliness is unbearable for the sensitive and thoughtful part of humanity. For mind mages, especially high-level telepaths, it is very dangerous to walk alone. The universe of the mind is an afternoon garden and an endless hell for you. In the blink of an eye, you may become so trapped in the spiritual world that you will never find your way out, or even recognize yourself. ”

Roach thought of a terrifying moment when he thought he was a monster of the Alien Zerg.

"Child, you don't belong to the world." The Hash Master said earnestly, "Don't rush to contradict me, kid, what I'm saying is that you're dangerous. I can see that you have wisdom and no lack of reason, and you should be able to understand the benefits of joining the Highland Mage. In a shared connection of consciousness, a mentor can channel your spirit and help you secure your own integrity. ”

Roach opened his mouth, speechless for a moment. He could feel the kindness of the highland mage, but he was like a cat who was used to being kicked by outsiders, and the kindness of others always made him a little at a loss.

He thanked vaguely, hesitated again before saying, "I have an anchor point. But I wasn't doing very well, and they said I should anchor myself with something that won't change. In other words, I shouldn't use people as anchors. ”

"Ahh The Highland Mage sighed lightly, "That's not your fault, it's human instinct to choose people as anchors. In the world of the Ancestral Mage, people in the same family will establish a stable spiritual world. This spiritual world itself can be seen as an anchor point, where the elders soothe the younger children through spiritual bonds, calm the anger of the teenagers, and the adults work together to heal each other's wounds. Although we didn't have the opportunity to see that world in person, most of us thought it was a calm society where people were more introverted but emotionally deep. ”

"Doesn't that look like yours?" Roach couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." "The first Highland Mage, one of the three Ancestors you are talking about, summed up previous experiences and believed that this shared and interconnected spiritual world was the key to the ascension of most of them. So he simulated this form and taught the senior mages who were willing to take refuge to connect with each other and practice together in a similar form. This approach has really broadened my horizons, stabilized our spirits, and allowed many of us to successfully reach the other side. If you really don't want to practice, we can stop talking about it for the time being, and just compare it to the world you are familiar with. Most of the current Lowland mages are telepathic from one generation to the next. In order to maintain the mental stability of the newborn mind mage, it is often the grandparents in the family who also have a superficial spiritual connection with the child. Let's assume that you haven't had such an experience. ”

Rocky nodded, "I didn't." ”

"Then when you are crumbling in the spiritual world, you choose the most trusted person around you, that is instinct, you just need to follow instinct, at that moment the reason that people think is not reliable." The Highland Mage said, "We would like to ask you definitively one last time, are you officially giving up the opportunity to join the Highland Mage?" ”

"Yes." Rocky said without hesitation.

If the Highland mages were still disappointed, they didn't show it. "Then we will continue to provide your education, just as we agreed with Gen Pei Shu earlier."

"Isn't that a little too embarrassing?" Roach said.

The Highland Mage replied blandly, "It's our duty to minimize the harm you do to the mage community. ”

Roach took two awkward breaths, his mouth aching.

He grabbed another thought, "Since the Ancestor Mage was originally mentally healthy in the form of a family, then when there were only three Ancestors in the end, was it them?" he couldn't help but want to say that they were all mentally unhealthy.

"Their world is shattered, and of course they endure great psychological trauma. However, they are the most determined of the tribe, so they recreated the mages to continue their race. ”

Roach didn't know what to say about them, since they had all created new people, why didn't they create them to be better at procreation? For example, one litter a year, one litter or something.

He retracted his thoughts and touched the baby book in his arms, "The words of the Ancestor Mage, those magical words, have they been circulated among the Highland Mages?" ”

"The Ancestral Mage never officially handed down the written word, and the Highland Mage is not as greedy for the amount of magic as the Lowland Mage."

"Ah, that's not what I meant." Roach took the baby book a little deeper, "I'm not helping Joan Lin find out. ”

"We've finished talking about what we need to talk about today, and when you're feeling better, we recommend that you continue with the meditation session."
