Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the magicians were immersed in and remembering the glory of the past, Douglas's voice became more solemn: "The glorious victory made the ancient legendary magicians more persistently pursue power, and conquered the abyss, hell, and various alien spaces.  Until the Cult of Truth grew stronger, the three major magic empires were destroyed in just a few hundred years, and the glory of the past turned into the bitterness, confusion and despair of today."

    The glory of the past suddenly shattered, and the cruel reality returned coldly. Magicians from different organizations such as Owen and Erica felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads. Although they were mentally prepared, they still felt frustrated, sighing, and dejected.  Emotions, guessing that Douglas and Arnold and other archmages have the same intention, using the glorious past and the tragic reality as a contrast to arouse every magician's hope for unity, strength, and the future.

    "But, the church is really too powerful, and angels really came!"

    "The cycle for magicians to become stronger has not been lengthened, it just seems too long compared to clergy"

    "Is alliance really useful? The bigger the target, the easier it is to be targeted and eliminated! It might be safer to hide in separate places!"

    "Only by ensuring survival first can we find ways to cooperate with extraordinary creatures, study them, and break through the limits of magic development"

    Various ideas are coming one after another, brewing in the hearts of the seemingly silent mages. Even the leaders of major organizations such as Nelson and Prisil sitting on the stage have similar emotions.

    Although they are working hard to develop their own organizations, seek opportunities for survival, and carry out preliminary cooperation for a better future, whoever says that they are confident in this, and whoever says that there is no panic and fear in their hearts, is definitely lying.  of!

    The reason why they can move forward with relative enthusiasm and confidence.  That's because apart from that, there is no second way. When there is no choice, people will always be much more determined.

    Of course, take refuge in the church.  Becoming a night watchman is also a way out, but for the leaders of these organizations, they are really unwilling to give up themselves before the dust of the Western War settles and become a dog of the church. Maybe Alto can really persist  Where to live?  And Joalto also fell.  Most of the legendary lords died, and whether or not they surrender seems to be of little value.

    Arnold had the same idea as them and nodded with satisfaction at Douglas's speech, while Fernando muttered to himself, was he just talking nonsense like this?

    Douglas lowered his right hand and used gestures to strengthen his tone: "Dear gentlemen and ladies. It's time to be quiet. Don't be fooled by power. It's time to calm down and think about some issues." - In Ancient Magic  In the empire, there is only the "gender" of magician, and there is no custom of honorable lady, so when giving speeches, the order of sir and lady is always used.

    Forehead?  What questions are you thinking about?

    The magicians, including Kangers and other powerful men, were stunned for a moment.  Thinking about union?  He is so radical!  But what does this have to do with being confused by power?  Is it to emphasize unity over strength?  What a joke, everyone here unites, even one "Heart of Time" can't kill him!

    Just as they were doubting, Douglas's voice suddenly became louder and resounded throughout the hall:

    ¡°We need to find out:¡±

    "What is the essence of magic?"

    "Why do living things have spiritual powers?"

    "What is the nature of mental power?"

    "In what form does it exist?"

    ah?

    Even Fernando looked at Douglas with his mouth half open. What¡¯s the problem?

    Regarding the nature of magic, ancient magicians have always thought about it, so Kangges and other powerful people were not too surprised.  Isn¡¯t spiritual power innate?  Isn¡¯t it true that everyone has it, and there are only differences in strength and weakness?  Isn¡¯t it a unique manifestation of the soul?  What are these latter questions?

    When they heard it for the first time, they just thought it was ridiculous. If a mid-level or low-level mage asked this question, they would definitely interrupt the other party rudely.  But now the speaker is a great mage, a great mage who knows how to "stop time". When the legendary masters cannot hide, this is the most powerful power!

    So they listened patiently and gradually discovered to their surprise that they had no way to answer these questions!  Moreover, after thinking about it carefully, I found that these issues seem to really need to be studied!

    Erica and other mid-level and high-level magicians below looked at each other funnyly. If they could think through these essential issues, they would have become legendary magicians long ago. Do they still need to be reminded by Mr. Douglas?

    But the series of questions also shocked them slightly. They subconsciously straightened their backs and looked at Douglas intently, listening to his speech. After all, he was a great mage, perhaps in Antiphore.It doesn't matter, but there are powerful people who can be ranked among the top.

    Fernando frowned slightly, thinking about the answers to these questions, but found that he had no clue. Then, he found that Douglas exuded an unspeakable aura and was no longer as gentle and approachable as usual or when he was focused on the problem.  The spirit is in a trance, more majestic, more solemn and solemn!

    Douglas¡¯s voice became louder and louder, and he continued his speech with great momentum:

    "Are earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements? If so, in what form and with what rules do they constitute this wonderful world? If not, what are they? What magic elements should there be?"

    "What is the nature of the soul?"

    "Are soul and consciousness different? If different, in what form does consciousness exist?"

    ¡°Do we need ¡®tools¡¯ to illustrate and help model magic?¡±

    "Does God exist? If so, what is His nature and form of existence? What is the form of existence of the ancestor of vampires, Aitna, and why can she not die?"

    "Why do we have the sun and the silver moon in this world? Why do they rise and set every day? What force keeps them running this way? If we ask more about the seemingly normal things in the material world, we will find out why.  We still don¡¯t understand the truth, but are these principles, laws and knowledge related to magic, can they be combined with magic, and can they help us explore the nature of the magical world?¡±

    As he asked questions one by one, whether it was a strong person on the stage or a magician in the audience.  Their expressions gradually changed, from being disdainful to being amused, to being focused on thinking, to being unable to conceal their astonishment, excitement, and excitement. Especially the last question about the sun and the silver moon rising in the east and setting in the west, struck them like a bolt of lightning.  It made them tremble all over and have an indescribable feeling.

    Yes, why is this happening?

    Why haven¡¯t I thought about these issues before?

    What secrets do these seemingly unquestionable phenomena contain?

    Fernando clenched his fists, his bright red pupils full of excitement, and he looked at Douglas's back.  For the first time, I felt that this guy was indeed taller!

    In fact, similar questions have flashed across every magician's research, but they who are accustomed to these phenomena have never regarded them as things that need attention, and have never "asked" so deeply. At this time, they listened.  Douglas's inspiring speech made them all feel as if the fog in front of their eyes was pierced by the sun. It turns out that our research on magic and this world is still so superficial!  There are so many ¡°whys¡± left unresolved!

    They only felt that their eyes suddenly became brighter.  It seems that a new door has opened, and a new realm of magic is vaguely revealed. This makes more and more people tremble and show contemplative expressions. Even Owen, who was previously full of resentment towards Douglas, feels that Douglas is no longer hateful.  , I feel that "why" is full of ultimate charm!

    Question after question came to his mind, what is lightning?  Why can't metal block but wood can?  Why are humans divided into genders?  Why can't people just float in the air?  But standing firmly on the earth?

    Erica covered her mouth with her hands, deeply believing that Mr. Douglas had surpassed Mr. Fernando and became her number one hero!  It turns out that magic research outside of combat can be so attractive and shocking!

    "What is up, what is down, what is high in the sky, what is the earth" Fernando muttered to himself, suddenly feeling that things and commonplace phenomena that he thought he had studied or understood thoroughly before became full of doubts.

    Douglas put his right hand on his forehead and bowed slightly: "As long as we can study these problems clearly, I believe that the development of magic will become very fast. The mysteries we understand will definitely act on us in turn and enhance us. Perhaps, our development will not be faster than  Church is slow!¡±

    After he retreated, the hall remained extremely quiet.  A full minute passed before extremely warm applause suddenly broke out, an applause that had never appeared before when leaders of major organizations gave speeches!

    Douglas could clearly see that the expressions of the magicians below were excited and excited, even slightly crazy, which diluted the despair and depression that could be felt everywhere before. In this regard, he sighed secretly. This was also his first time in public.  , systematically and completely explain your own views, and raise questions that you have thought about for a long time. When you were in Antiphore, even your own teachers and classmates were not willing to listen to yourself attentively about this aspect, let alone other people.  .

    The effect seems to be pretty good Douglas is also a mortal, and there is a hint of joy in his heart.

    Owen, Erica and other magicians have opened up about the darkness around them.The feeling of fading away. Before, they were desperate and depressed because they believed that magic had reached its extreme. In the end, it was still not as good as divine magic or the church, so they could not see hope or light. But now, Mr. Douglas¡¯s  The question opens up a vast and boundless world. The development of magic has just begun and is far from reaching its limit!  The future is not hopeless!

    The speeches of Arnold and others pinned their hopes on external forces such as Silver Moon, Blood Tribe, and Dragon, which can be regarded as boosting morale, but how can a future within one's own control be more inspiring?

    But, can these questions really be studied?

    After being excited, worries and doubts began to well up in the magician's heart, which could be seen from his expression. Douglas was not surprised by this. He had never thought that he could unite everyone with his speech alone. That was a dream!

    The meeting ended in such an atmosphere. The eyes of the great mages such as Amaunata, Kangas, Nelson, and Priscilla looked at Douglas with subtle changes.

    Douglas stood up with a smile and said to Arnold first: "Mr. President, I want to participate in the mission of assassinating Alfonso. After that, I hope to stay in Allinge for a while."
