Arcane Age

In addition to the most famous Lord of Change, the Royal Academy of Magic of France also has four legendary spellcasters, including Lannister Hugo and Tyrell, the dean of the School of Elements.

However, among the five papers from the French Royal Academy of Magic published in the first issue of Arcane this time, three are from magic masters who have not yet entered the legendary field.

Although there is still a long way to go before becoming a nine-ring legendary spellcaster in terms of personal professional level, their research on their respective fields is very in-depth, and their insights have been recognized by the Lord of Change and Xi Wei, and their papers have finally been published on The first issue of Arcana.

Lavoisier is one of them. He was an alchemist and a magician. The paper he published in Arcana is In-depth Analysis of Spellcasting Materials. It seems to be a very simple small topic, but in essence But it directly points to the deepest relationships and differences among matter, energy, and elements, which coincides with the theme of Xi Wei's opening message.

He classified and analyzed a total of 852 common spellcasting materials. This was a very complex and almost clueless task, but Lavoisier's paper was very creative.

He discovered, distinguished, and named more than thirty kinds of microscopic substances almost by himself, and conducted a preliminary exploration of elements, magic, and energy conversion in the process of casting spells. This paper was also the one Xi Wei admired the most.

As an eight-ring magic master and a great alchemist, Lavoisier naturally has his own independent mage tower at the French Royal Academy of Magic. The course he teaches is magic potion, which is very profitable but helps to increase his own strength. Not a big course.

Although a poor mage is not a good mage, and a powerful mage must be rich and powerful, Lavoisier's teaching method is very weird. He almost never talks about any principles, and only tells students to do whatever they want on a topic. , and rarely provide guidance and evaluation of students’ research results.

This clueless teaching method caused headaches for many students, so much so that Lavoisier's magic potions class was not so popular, and his laboratory assistants were almost the least among all magic masters.

However, all this changed a month ago. A group of new students came to the French Royal Academy of Magic, exchange students from the remote Violet Island on the Western Golden Sea.

According to the data, these students have received formal magic education for less than two years, and a few of them actually started learning magic at the beginning of this year with the help of a few popular magic books. Although they have all completed the transition from magic apprenticeship to formal magic The transformation of a magician, but still very immature.

For these exchange students who had just entered the first ring, the instructors of the French Royal Academy of Magic were not very interested in accepting them, so the assistant to the principal Benshamin finally stuffed eight of them into Master Lavoisier's magic potion laboratory.

Lavoisier readily accepted this group of exchange students, although he thought they would have little effect.

However, eight young and immature magicians from the Violet Academy soon changed Lavoisier's view. Although they embarked on the path of magic for such a short time, they obviously received a very rigorous and systematic basic education in magic and mathematics. Very solid, logical, and quick-thinking, and not restricted by various rules.

After starting the study of magic potions, they made progress almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just seven days, a second-level magician named Lista completed the preparation of a small vitality potion. , this is a tonic potion that many students have to spend a whole semester to learn, which can replenish a person's physical strength, magic power and mental power at the same time.

In fact, not only Master Lavoisier, but also several other instructors are very satisfied with this batch of Violet exchange students. Although they are limited by their magician level and are very ignorant, they are diligent and studious. With an open mind and strong hands-on ability, he is obviously different from the aristocratic students of the Royal Academy of Magic of France who rely on various enhanced spells, spell-casting skills, magical objects, and magic potions to be proud.

The assistant to the principal, Ben Shaming, naturally noticed this. Not one of the exchange students from Violet received negative comments from their instructors. Instead, there were several very outstanding outstanding students who even moved those high-level and even magic masters to accept them. Disciple’s thoughts!

And the vice-principal of Violet Academy, Yang, a black-haired Chinese who is less than twenty years old, has been traveling between the French Royal Academy of Magic and the Tower of Change during this period, and is very appreciated by His Excellency the Lord of Change.

This discovery gave Benshamin a new discovery in another direction about the young and handsome Master Xiwei. He was not only so powerful in personal magic research and spellcasting level, but also in educating and cultivating students. able.

If a magician just likes to research, is lonely and does not communicate with others, such a magician is not terrible. As long as he does not reach the legendary level at the top of the world, then he will not be able to make too many changes in the world.

However, a magician who can not only discover new areas of magic by himself, but also educate a large number of disciples, the future value of such a person is far beyond human imagination!

Ben Shaming even thought of His Excellency the Lord of Change. Although the Kingdom of France three hundred years ago could not be considered a magic desert, there were only a handful of magic masters in the entire kingdom.

His Excellency Victor Hugo, who was still the Master of Eight Ring Magic until now, received strong support from the late king and established the French Royal Academy of Magic in the royal capital. He eventually founded the School of Change and became the fifth legendary magician in mankind. Since then, Paali has become the second holy land for magicians in the entire Oriente continent after the Tower of Thousand Laws.

Now, in Xi Wei, Benshamin saw the shadow of Victor Hugo. The difference is that he is younger and the road is smoother!

Benshaming was glad that he got along well with Xi Wei last time and established a certain level of personal relationship, especially after he had just read the entire first issue of Arcana and was slowly shocked.

Since becoming the assistant to the principal, Benshamin's magic research has almost come to a standstill. However, at this moment, his heart aroused the long-lost excitement and inspiration. Magic will eventually evolve into arcana. What a bright future, now is the time. This is a critical moment for change. If you can seize this opportunity, even if your talent is not very good, you may be able to be promoted to a magic master, and you may even have a glimpse of the legendary realm in the future!

In this way, along with a thousand copies of the first issue of Arcana and more simple manuscripts, they were spread throughout the Orient continent, from the distant seaside of Spanya in the west to the Northland Witch Council in Allendale in the winter solstice, and in the south to In Sicily, as far north as Copenhagen, a trend of the times began to surge, and the overwhelming trend swept across unstoppably. More and more magicians rushed to read this epoch-making magic journal, and focused on the concept of arcana Lively discussions and even arguments began.

Some people enthusiastically recognized the arcane arts and began to worship Xi Wei, believing that he would definitely change the status quo of magic and become an epoch-making great figure; some people were hesitant and studied every paper carefully, but adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards arcane concepts; He was sarcastic and regarded Xi Wei as an arrogant young man with his brain burned out...

However, there is a small group of magicians who have begun to face up to every specific theoretical perspective and research direction proposed by Xi Wei, and have begun to face up to the subtleties that they have overlooked in the process of learning and researching magic. The focus has been on the spell itself, but it has begun to focus on the deeper levels that are more related to the essence and laws...

Notre Dame de Paali, the most famous and magnificent cathedral in the Kingdom of France, is still in the secluded meditation room in the backyard. Bishop Ansis and Eulithia, the Lord of the Morning, are having an important conversation that determines the future. .

The Pope in the Holy City issued an order for the Holy Retreat, and withdrew a large number of the best and most elite priests and knights from the Kingdom of Etanli, the Rhine League, the Kingdom of Raisa and other places. They have already embarked on the journey to the Holy City and France. The path to the heavenly plane! Bishop Angsis said with a solemn face: Even in our French Diocese, there are a large number of priests who have chosen to follow the Pope's call, and among them there are many elites with whom we have long paid attention and even begun to develop contacts. Most of the potential strength has been lost.

Before the Lord of Glory truly left, Yulishia, the Lord of Dawn, could not openly carry out activities and promote the religious policies of the sect. Everything could only be done secretly underground. This obviously restricted the expansion of the organization's scale.

After five arrogances and lunatics appeared in Vatican's Holy See, we finally welcomed a sane master. Yurishia spoke highly of Pope Benton XVIII: Otherwise it would be dark. After its arrival, the Church of the Lord of Radiance will inevitably become the first weak giant among all mad dogs and enemies to bite but lose most of its abilities!

Every kingdom is happy to see the results. The property of the Church of the Lord of Glory has shrunk by more than half, and large areas of land have been given to the king and nobles at low prices. Even the right to collect tithes has been taken away. Bishop Angsis showed a cruel smile on his face: Stupid nobles, don't they know that for thousands of years, the Church of Glory has been on the front line guarding this crisis-ridden world, attacking all kinds of threats? This kind of evil and dark force has brought about continuous peace and prosperity in the world?

They were blinded by interests and could not see the crisis at all. Even if they learned from some channels that the night was coming, they still refused to let go because of greed. In this way, the first wave of forces in the darkness had been planning for a long time The most ferocious blow will fall on each kingdom! Yurishia said calmly.

But this has also brought us huge trouble. Our roots are almost entirely in the French Diocese. The king's attitude is very ambiguous. He is waiting for our response! Bishop Angsis frowned: He wants to recruit us , completely tying us to the chariot of the Kingdom of France.

His Majesty Auron is a fairly wise monarch. His personal strength has also entered the holy realm, and he controls the power and rights that belong to the pinnacle of mortals in this world. Yurishia sighed: But this means As he becomes a huge target, I can only see the raging dark tide in the near future, which contains endless terror and evil. This force tries to devour everything and turn the Orient continent into their hunting ground. , to satisfy their ultimate ambition of immortality! We must wait and see first, and cannot be tied to death on the French chariot, even if it looks so solid.

Lord of the Dawn, after the original contract ends, how many devout believers can you grant the power of light to, so that they can still protect our home and the world? Bishop Onsis looked directly at the Saint of Light in front of him, The future goddess of light.

I don't know... After a moment of silence, Yurishia shook her head in confusion: Apart from Ms. Silver Moon, the world of Orrente has never given birth to a true god, even me now, There is still a huge gap like a chasm between that level. I can only grant the power of light to a thousand priests who devoutly believe in me and call me, and most of them can only use three-ring magic at most. If I do this, I myself will not be able to If you continue to condense your real body and fail to achieve enough growth in a short period of time, there are only two consequences: either you will be drained of your meager divine power by the believers' magic, or you will abandon your faith because your prayers are not answered!

Until now, the Church of the Lord of the Morning, including Bishop Onsis, is still using the divine power of the Lord of Radiance. Once the original contract ends, the terrible winter will come.

What is even more worrying is that the priests of the former Lord of Glory have always enjoyed the almost endless divine power of the Lord of Glory. From luxury to frugality, they will inevitably resent the poor supply of divine power of the Lord of Dawn in the future because of the comparison. , this kind of resentment is simply poison to faith.

Then Lord of the Dawn, the gift of power is indeed too much of a burden and consumption for you, but if we want to fight against the darkness, we must master the light! Bishop Onsis sighed: Magicians do not have gods, but But they can master the elements, master magic, and have power that is almost as good as ours. Is it possible to change the source of power of the priests, learn divine skills through study, and complete the promotion of personal levels?

The key point is that priests and magicians are completely different. Priests' magic comes from the gifts of the gods they believe in and they can be directly mastered; while magicians rely on their own analysis and learning of magic.

Priests can master a new and powerful high-level magic in a second, but magicians may take months or even years. But on the contrary, if the gods withdrew their divine power, the combat effectiveness of the priests would be severely reduced.

Bishop Onsis's suggestion is equivalent to turning the training of priests into a mage, which will inevitably weaken the belief in the Lord of the Dawn. It can only be regarded as a no-brainer.
