Chapter 172: The History of Magic
"Chester, morning!"
"Early... Kaichi..."
Jia Yi glanced at Chester's face, "Why are you so weak? ”
"What's going on, look at it. Chester opened his mouth and asked Ka to look, "There are more blisters in my mouth." And what's the use of going to the history of magic. It's been so long since I've been at the academy, either going to the botanical garden to weed, or moving bricks from the clock tower, and now I have to learn the history of magic, I feel like I'm wasting my time, and I still need the 'penance' of clear water and bread, and now my mouth is full of blisters. You see, how can this be good. ”
"You'd better complain less, complaining won't solve any problem anyway. And in fact, it doesn't hurt to understand the history of magic, in fact, if you have an idea of the entire history of magic, the understanding of spells will actually be easier. ”
"If only I had the mentality of yours, I could see everything. I studied the history of magic in the morning, and I had to move bricks in the afternoon, and last time you said that the final plan was not decided, has it been decided now? The clock tower is more than half built, and if you want to revise it now, it should be too late, right?"
Jia Yi said: "Although it has not been officially announced, it is actually about the same, like you said, now that more than half of the clock tower has been built, it is no longer realistic to want to transform it into a mage tower, unless it is demolished and rebuilt." So the Mage Tower will definitely not be built. However, it is said that in order to compromise, they decided to build an elemental pool inside the clock tower, which would not only supply the clock tower, but also transfer the excess energy to the laboratories that needed it. ”
As they spoke, they arrived at the classroom, and before the teacher arrived, they each found a place to sit down, took out a pen and paper, and began to wait for the teacher to come in. Kaichi is still interested in the history of magic, as he is not very familiar with the history of magic, and he has not found a book dedicated to the history of the wizarding world.
There are not even many history books that can be found in this world, and there is no such thing as a "general history of the continent" or "history of empires". Much of history is mixed with legends, myths, and magicians, making it impossible to fully believe them. Now that the college has opened this course, it will probably be a major.
Jia Yi is very curious about how the history of this world is recorded, digging graves, or there are official histories to study or inferred through the poetry and documents left over from ancient times, or even directly told by the old immortals who survived in ancient times.
As soon as Jia sat down, he saw a middle-aged man come in, he had two mustaches, and then bent and curled to the sides, curly, his hair was very neat and tidy, and he looked meticulous, but he looked more like a noble scholar than a mage.
If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't wearing a suit, Jia Yi would almost think that this was also a traveler, and the image was exactly the same as the image of a 19th-century Western scholar that Jia Yi had seen in his previous life, except for the clothes.
Mages are supposed to be magical, and rich, and most of them appear to be relatively clean but not neat. Some of the older mages have beards and hair growing together. However, most mages cut it off so as not to fall into the cauldron during the experiment. There are few people who are so delicate as the other party, and their beards are combed.
Mr. Lu Xun originally came back from studying abroad instead of having a mustache, but a beard with both sides upturned like this, but then it was too troublesome to take care of it every day, and it was not easy to buy glue for taking care of the beard in China, and some people attacked that the upturned beard style was Japanese. Although Lu Xun wrote an article to refute that this beard style existed a long time ago, "The statues of believers in the Buddhist statues of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty that we see now are also more upturned if they have beards, and if they know the portraits of the Yuan and Ming Dynasty, the beard is largely affected by the attraction of the center of the earth and dragged down." But later, Mr. Lu Xun was troublesome, so he lost his beard, "Those who are troublesome must be cut in the market."
"Let's start learning about the history of magic today. The teacher's words on the stage brought Jiayi's thoughts back, but fortunately, the teacher had not yet entered the topic and was still gossiping.
"Does anyone know why we want to study the history of magic? It seems that the history of magic has nothing to do with magic, and no one has ever learned a single spell from the history of magic. Is the history of magic necessary for mages?"
"You've said that, it should be necessary. Chester whispered to the side, but it was so quiet that no one else heard it except for Kaichi, who was sitting next to him.
The teacher on the podium didn't seem to expect a reply from the students below, and said to himself: "I must tell you now that the study of the history of magic is very necessary, and only by understanding the development of magic can you better grasp the laws of magic, learn magic better, and avoid you from making mistakes that previous mages have made."
"I'm Spence, your teacher of the history of magic. Can any of you tell me what is the most far-reaching thing in the history of magic at the moment?"
As soon as he spoke, a few students below began to jump, but Spence on the stage didn't give them a chance, and gave his own answer: "That's right, it's the battle of the nature of light." Whether light is a wave or a particle has not yet been determined. ”
Jiayi's surprised eyes were about to fall out, and no one answered, why are you good, ask yourself. Also, Kaichi was surprised that there was a wave-particle dispute now. On the other side of the earth, the nature of light is only a high school course, but it has undoubtedly involved the nature of the world, so it is a relatively high-end course in the magic world, and Kaichi rarely comes into contact with it, but he didn't expect that the battle of light particles has begun here.
Spence continued: "Our history of magic is, in fact, the history of mankind, and with the development of humans, or more precisely humanoids, magic has always been in it. ”
However, Spence's history is not exactly history, and there are many myths and legends, but this is a world mixed with myths, and many myths are actually facts.
It is said that about 100,000 years ago, the universe was in a devastation, the human race struggled to survive, the land was rampant with wild beasts, as well as mountains and rivers, floods and droughts, and human beings, including all humanoids, were ragged, swaying forward, struggling to survive. Then there were innate gods who came to preach, and the human race began to develop. And 15,000 years ago, the war of the gods caused the river to burst its banks, and the sea water poured in, causing a great flood for a long time, because human beings or all living beings developed from the river, which led to a change in the thinking of the human race, no longer relying on the gods, but there are also some human beings, who feel that human beings cannot ensure their safety, can only pray for the protection of the gods, and religion has also begun to originate.
After that, it was the era of religious prosperity, the human race began to rise, about 200 years later, there were human beings began to become gods, 8000 years ago, human beings entered the heyday of the era, with the largest population, and outstanding intelligence, occupied most of the land, but also gave birth to the most gods. However, the rest of the races have not been left behind, and they have also waited for great development, and the gods have already been born, and although the population is not large, the individual ability is the strongest. Therefore, although the human race is the most powerful and has the most gods, it no longer dares to oppress the foreign race too much, for fear of causing a round of war.
Moreover, although there are many gods promoted from among the races, they are weaker than the primitive innate gods, and there was once a god of war who hated the goddess of the earth, and was slapped under the earth by the goddess of the earth, and hid for more than a hundred years without daring to come out. This is not only fear, but also shame, because Mother Earth Goddess was the first to enter the world to preach, and can be called the mother of civilization.
At that time, the gods still had a heart of shame, not only the gods of other races, but even the human gods had been estranged from the god of war for a long time, and they knew that the mother earth god did not take the god of war to heart, so they slowly accepted him.
And this is almost the most peaceful time for all the races on the road.
