"That's right. "But don't be surprised, I didn't use any magic on you, I didn't do anything special, it's just an old woman's guess that has lived for hundreds of years." When people live for a long time, there will always be some special feelings, and when you reach my age, you will understand. ”

"The experience of life...... Leo muttered subconsciously.

Of course, this movement could not hide from Casfeld's ears, and the old woman glanced at her with appreciation, and said, "This statement is very correct, and I like it very much. So then I will continue to ask you, what is the essence of man, or what is the essence of life, in your opinion?"

"It seems that it is really discussing life, is this another form of psychiatrist?" Leo was amused in his heart, but he did not dare to have any expression on his face, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Ma'am, I don't know how to answer this question, and you know that my life has just begun. ”

Kesfield let out a noncommittal "um" and said, "Then you listen to me and see if you think it makes sense." In my old fellow's opinion, since each of us is an independent individual, the most important thing is to ensure the existence and continuation of this independent individual, and then it is possible to do other things. This is true even for clergy of faith. ”

Hearing her say this, Leo couldn't help but think of the old priests Chris and John, and frowned: "Isn't that right, shouldn't the clergy regard the glory of God as the most important thing? ”

Kesfi didn't pay attention to Leo's questioning, and smiled mildly, "It's true in principle and appearance, but have you forgotten the rewards that the clergy may receive after death?"

Leo suddenly reacted and muttered, "What do you mean...... After giving his life for God, he became a heroic spirit in the divine plane?"

"Absolutely. I can assure you that if this clause were removed from the teachings of the gods, their number of followers would be greatly reduced. There will also be little left. Casfeld's voice was unwavering, as if to tell of a very ordinary thing: "Believers worship God, and God bestows believers with magic, faith, and hope, although this thing is cloaked in faith, but in reality, it is nothing more than a win-win exchange." ”

"Child, you have to know that human nature is selfish, it's not wrong, it's something we are born with. No one can deny it. ”

"What do you mean......" Leo, who just felt that he understood some of the other party's thoughts, suddenly became confused again,

Isn't Kesfield going to mentally adjust himself, but to do a human analysis?

Of course, the term selfishness may be a bit unpleasant, but I can also change it to another one, such as self-interest. At the same time, I don't mean to attack our nature, I just want to remind you. Giving and having, this is our life, and magic is the same. Kesfield patiently explained.

"Give and have......" Leo nodded silently, agreeing with the other party's statement.

But Kesfield is clearly not done yet. Because she sensed that Leo didn't really understand the meaning of the sentence, she threw up a question again: "You know, what is bothering me and I can't stay in the Sanctuary." But can't you really break through to the barrier of the legend?"

Hearing this, Leo's pupils shrank suddenly. If he has any lofty ideals now, then he has achieved the realm of legends. Definitely the most important one. And you don't have to care too much about the philosophy of life just now, but you can't help but care about things related to the Holy Realm and even the Legendary Realm!

Any information of this caliber is extremely valuable and cannot be bought with money. Because this is likely to involve the core rules of a mage, no one wants to expose them easily. What's more, even if it is written in a book, it is so profound that ordinary people can't understand it.

However, if a Sanctuary mage was willing to explain it in person, the situation would definitely be very different!

Leo was just about to answer that he didn't know the other party's obstacles, but suddenly connected with the previous series of conversations, and blurted out: "It's not going to be an exchange, right...... Is it a rule?"

"I can't talk about the rules, but it took me hundreds of years to understand it. Child, you are like me, you have a very good talent, you have a good rank at a young age, and it is natural to think that all this is deserved. Kesfield looked at Leo kindly, "Of course, this situation is only from me, and it may not apply to you, I just hope you can learn something from it." ”

............

An hour passed quickly, and Casfi didn't talk anything about magic with Leo, just chatting about what a mage should have in life.

However, when Leo left the captain's quarters, his heart was already filled with joy. The content of the conversation just now is too precious, far more valuable than any magical knowledge.

As Casfi said, Leo's promotion speed is far faster than others, and although he has encountered setbacks in his magical improvement, it is still smooth sailing compared to other students. This experience also made Leo overlook a very important thing, which was the perception of magic, life, and even his own life.

According to Casaphy's account, this kind of perception does not play an important role in the early stage, but once it enters the high-level, holy realm, and even legendary, its importance becomes more and more prominent.

At the same time as understanding oneself, it is possible to perceive the rules, which others cannot teach, and can only rely on oneself completely.

Even if a mage is very knowledgeable and can improve a lot of magic, it is likely that he will not be able to invent a single new group of magic in his lifetime. This is the perception, it also needs to be accumulated, but it is different from the accumulation of ordinary knowledge, it is more like the unity of heaven and man pursued by ancient people in the previous life.

Heaven here naturally refers not to the so-called gods, but to rules, and the specific manifestation of the unity of heaven and man is in the relationship between rules and man.

According to Leo's understanding, people and rules are not a relationship between subject and object, they should be in a relationship between part and whole, distortion and originality, or the beginning of learning and the highest state.

It's just that this question is too profound, and with Leo's current ability and insight, of course, he can't explore it deeply. But with this starting point, Leo suddenly felt that a new door had opened in front of him. If you enter it and keep discovering, maybe the legendary realm is really more than just a dream!

With such hope, Leo returned to the cabin.

I don't know if it's because of yesterday's battle, or because I'm used to it, but in short, the seasickness symptoms of Sanders and Seaberton have been greatly alleviated.

Seeing Leo return, Sanders hurriedly asked, "What is Ms. Cassfee looking for you?"

"We didn't do anything, we just talked for a while. Leo replied with a smile.

"After a while?" said Seaberton, skeptical, "was it really just a little talking? Ms. Kesfield really didn't teach you any great magic techniques?"

Leo shook his head and said, "Not really." ”

"And what did you all talk about?" asked Sanders curiously.

Listen to him ask, and there is no need to hide the content of the chat just now. So Leo didn't mean to hide it, so he retold it to the two of them as it was.

Sanders listened patiently, shook his head, and said, "What, that's all you guys talk about?

Seaberton on the side touched his chin and affirmed Sanders's opinion: "It's really boring, I thought there would be a powerful magic skill, a Sanctuary mage actually asked someone to talk about this, she is really boring." ”

Seeing that the two of them reacted in this way, Leo could only shrug his shoulders. It seems that they can't understand the importance of these things for the time being, and they just don't know how Lea will react if they listen to it.

............

The long voyage passed day by day. For others, this can be very boring and very difficult. But for Leo. Not really.

Ever since he had spoken to Ms. Casfi that day, Leo had entered a state of realization. And according to Sanders, Leo was in a state of confusion all day long, chattering. So much so that the little fat man began to wonder if he was cursed by someone.

Leo responded with a smile only. Only he knows what he has gained through these realizations.

It is a kind of improvement in vision, an improvement in the heart, although it will not directly affect the strength, but Leo fully believes that at least in the latest stage of the way forward, he has broken all the obstacles, just waiting to soar into the sky!

On the fifteenth day of the voyage, the Beauty arrived at the island of Masoolan, where the Blackwater Consortium is located.

Since it had been too long since he had seen land, Kesfi allowed the entire group to land on the island controlled by the Blackwater Goblins for a short rest.

In one day, Leo visited the island, known as the "Gold Coin of the Star, Moon and Sea", and also saw the famous "Iron Vault".

It was a huge fortress made entirely of metal, filled with dense defensive magic arrays and powerful magic weapons.

According to Silimane, the amount of wealth in the "Iron Vault" is enough to buy a large empire, and its defensive strength can easily cope with the attacks of ten legendary powerhouses!

After a day's rest, the resupplied Beauty set sail again.

Over the next half month, they passed through several islands, pirate-infested seas, and storms, and finally arrived at their destination, the island of Milan.

The silence was suddenly relieved, and everyone became excited, eager to go to Lordaeron.

The marina on the island of Milan is small, with only a dozen ships mooring, and by the time the Beauty arrived, there were already seven large ships here, which looked like competitors from other countries.

Unlike ordinary docks, on the docks of Milan Island, there were not a single ordinary worker, only a few humanoid magic puppets.

As soon as Kesfi was the first to step down from the Beauty, a magical golem greeted him and said in a strange metallic voice, "Welcome, Lady Kesfi of the Culents, please follow me with your companions." ”

Sensing Leo's doubts, Silriman touched Whitebeard and introduced: "Don't underestimate these magic puppets, they are all controlled by Lordaeron's alchemy soul, not only have powerful combat power, but also have various functions, not to mention Ms. Kesfee, even if you stand in front of it, it can instantly call your name." ”

"It's really the magic capital, it's amazing!" exclaimed not Leo, but Sanders.

Silriman smiled: "This is where to go, first control your emotions, and when you arrive in Lordaeron, it will be too late to be surprised." ”

The island is not large, but in the center, there are some unique buildings and a towering magic tower. On the island, Leo didn't find any defenses, which surprised him.

However, Leo quickly reacted that Lordaeron is the core of magic in this world, and almost most legendary mages can be related to Lordaeron, even the craziest person will not choose to fight here.

Of course, Lordaeron does not cover everything in magic, for example, the magical inheritance of the dark elves has nothing to do with Lordaeron, and in other places in the main material plane, there are also many magic systems that are outside of Lordaeron's system.

A few minutes later, under the leadership of the magic golem, fifty people from the Calente Empire made their way to the magic tower located in the center of the island of Milan.

As soon as he entered a large room, Leo immediately felt a sound of detection coming from him.

Worried about the students' overreaction, Casfeld said to the crowd, "Don't be afraid, this is a test of your identity, and it will not affect you in any way. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the magic golem spoke, "Ms. Casfi, the inspection is complete, and your participants have agreed to the request, and now you can start sending them in batches." ”

"Okay. Kesfi nodded, and then said to the leaders of each academy: "According to the order that was divided before, it will be carried out by the academy, and the Crimson Academy is the first. ”

The leader of the Crimson Academy had long known what to do, and without saying a word, he led the students into a metal cabin in the center of the room.

The next moment, the door of the metal cabin suddenly disappeared, and below it, another of the same metal cabin slowly rose.

"It's ...... What's going on?" Leo couldn't figure out what was going on.

However, Silliman did not mean to explain, but directly beckoned the four students and Rubersky into the metal warehouse, and apparently they were in second place. (To be continued.) )
