Vol 9 Chapter 18: Speech
As the magicians immersed in and remembered the glory of the past, Douglas' voice became more solemn: "The glorious victory made the ancient legendary magician more persistently pursue the power, to the abyss, to hell, to various alien space conquests, Until the growth of the theology of truth, the three great magic empires were destroyed in just a few hundred years, and the glory of the past became the bitterness, bewilderment, and despair of today. "
The glory of the past is suddenly broken, and the cruel reality is returning coldly. The magicians of different organizations, such as Irving and Erica, are poured into a puddle of cold water. Although they are psychologically prepared, they still experience frustration, sighing, grief Emotions, guessing that Douglas and Arnold and other masters have the same intentions, using the glorious past and the tragic reality as a contrast to evoke every magician's hope for union, power, and future.
"But the church is so powerful, and angels really come!"
"The period for the magicians to become stronger has not been extended, it just seems too long and too long compared to the clergy ..."
"Is the union really useful? The goal is big, but it is easy to be targeted and annihilated! It may be safer to disperse and hide!"
"Only by guaranteeing survival, can we find a way to cooperate with extraordinary creatures, study them, and push the limits of magic development ..."
Various thoughts flowed in, brewing in the hearts of seemingly silent mages, even the leaders of major organizations such as Nelson and Priestel 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 have confidence in this and who say that they have no panic or fear in their hearts is definitely deceiving. of!
They are able to move forward with relative enthusiasm and confidence. That's because other than that, there is no second way. Without choice, people will always be much firmer.
Of course, trust in the church. Becoming a night watchman is also a way out, but for the leaders of these organizations, they are really not willing to give up themselves before the dust of the Western War is settled and become a dog in the church. Maybe Aalto can really insist Live? And Joao Alto fell. Most of the legendary lords died, and it seems that their own surrender or surrender is not of much value.
Arnold nodded in satisfaction with Douglas' speech, and Fernando murmured secretly. He just talked nonsense in order to say these empty words?
Douglas pressed down with his right hand and strengthened his tone with gestures: "Dear gentlemen and ladies. It's time to calm down, don't be fooled by strength, it's time to calm down and think about some problems." —— In ancient magic Empire, there is only the "gender" of the magician, and there is no custom of the lady, so the speech is always the order of the lady.
amount? What's the question?
The magicians, including the strong ones like Congus, stunned. Thinking about joint issues? He's really aggressive! But what does this have to do with being deceived by power? Does it emphasize unity over power? What a joke, everyone here is united, not enough to kill with a "heart of time"!
In their doubts, Douglas's voice suddenly became louder, ringing throughout the hall:
"We need to figure out:"
"What is the nature of magic?"
"Why do creatures have mental power?"
"What is the essence of mental power?"
"In what form does it exist?"
what?
Even Fernando looked at Douglas half-opened, what was the problem?
Regarding the nature of magic, ancient magicians have always thought about it, so strong men such as Kangus are not too surprised, but. Isn't mental power born? Isn't it for everyone, only the difference between strength and weakness? Isn't it a unique manifestation of the soul? What are these latter problems?
For the first time, they only felt ridiculous. If they asked such a low- and middle-ranking mage, they would surely interrupt each other rudely. But now he is talking about a master, a master who knows "time stops", and this is the most powerful force when the legendary lords can't hide it!
So they listened patiently and gradually realized that they couldn't answer these questions! Moreover, after careful consideration, I found that these problems really seem to be necessary for research!
The middle and high-level magicians such as Erica below look at each other with amusement. If these essential issues can be considered, they and others have already become legendary magicians. Do you need Mr. Douglas to remind you?
But this series of problems also shocked them slightly, straightened their subconsciously, looked at Douglas intently, and listened to his lecture. After all, he was a master mage, maybe it was nothing in Antivre, but the scene But it is a powerful figure that can be ranked in the first few.
Fernando frowned slightly, thinking about the answers to these questions, but found himself clueless, and then he found that Douglas exudes an indescribable demeanor, no longer as amiable or obsessed with focusing on problems The spirit is emaciated, more majestic, more solemn and solemn!
Douglas's voice became louder and louder, and he continued his speech imposingly:
"Is earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements? If so, in what form and law do they form this wonderful world? If not, what are they? What should be magic elements?"
"What is the nature of the soul?"
"Is the soul and consciousness different? If they are different, in what form does consciousness exist?"
"Do we need 'tools' to elaborate and help build magic models?"
"God does not exist. If so, what is his nature and form of existence? What is the form of existence of Etna, the vampire ancestor, and why can it not die?"
"Why does this world have the sun and the silver moon, why do they rise and fall every day, what is the force that keeps them running? The physical world looks like normal things. If we ask more about why, we will find that We still don't understand the truth. Are these truths, laws, and knowledge related to magic, can they be combined with magic, and can they help us explore the nature of the magic world? "
As he asked questions one by one, whether it was the strong on the stage or the magician on the stage. The expressions have gradually changed, from disdainful to concentrated thinking, to expressions of difficulty, concealment, excitement, and excitement, especially the last question about the sun and silver moon rising and falling from the east, like a lightning strike. They shuddered and felt indescribable.
Yeah, why is this happening?
Why haven't I thought about these issues before?
What secrets do these seemingly world laws and essences need not to question?
Fernando clenched his fists, his red pupil was full of excitement, and he looked at Douglas's back. For the first time, this guy seems to be really tall!
Similar questions have actually flashed in every magician's research, but they are accustomed to these phenomena and never take them as things to pay attention to, and never "question" so deeply. Listen now Douglas' deafening speech, they all felt that the fog in front of them was pierced by sunlight. It turns out that our research on magic in this world is still so superficial! There are so many "why" not resolved!
They just felt suddenly bright. It seems that a new door has opened, and a new field of magic is looming. This makes more and more people tremble and show a thoughtful expression. Even Owen, who was full of resentment against Douglas, feels that his opponent is no longer abomination , Think "why" is full of extreme charm!
Questions came up in his mind, what was lightning? Why can't metal stop and wood can? Why do humans have sex? Why can't people float directly in the air. But standing firmly on the ground?
Erica covered her mouth with her hands, deeply thinking that Mr. Douglas surpassed Mr. Fernando and became the first hero in her mind! The magic research outside the battle can also be so attractive and shocking!
"What is up, what is down, what is high altitude, what is the earth ..." Fernando murmured to himself, feeling for a moment that he thought he had studied or understood thoroughly and the phenomenon of empty space became full of doubt again.
Douglas raised his right hand and bowed slightly: "As long as we can study these issues clearly, I believe that the development of magic will become fast. Our insightful mysteries will in turn affect us, strengthen us, and maybe our development will not be better than The church is slow! "
After he retreated, the hall was still very quiet. It took a full minute to pass, and then there was a sudden burst of applause. The applause that had not appeared before the leaders of major organizations!
Douglas could clearly see that the expressions of the magicians below were agitated and excited, and even slightly insane, diluting the despair and depression that had been felt everywhere, and he sighed secretly for this, which was also his first public appearance. Explain your point of view systematically and comprehensively, and ask questions that have been thinking for a long time. At Antifleur, even if it was your own teacher and classmates, you were not willing to listen to this content, let alone others. Already.
The effect seems to be good ... Douglas is also mortal, and there is a hint of joy in his heart.
Owen, Erica, and other magicians felt the darkness around them began to fade. They were desperate and depressed before because they thought that the magic had developed to the extreme, and as a result, it was not as good as theology, or as the church. So, you ca n’t see hope, you ca n’t see the light, but now, Mr. Douglas ’problem has opened up a vast and boundless world, and the development of magic has just begun, far from reaching its limit! The future is not hopeless!
The speeches of Arnold and others will hope to be based on the external forces such as Yinyue, Blood, and Dragon, which can also be regarded as encouraging morale. But how can they be more inspiring in their own grasp in the future?
But can these questions really be studied?
After the excitement, worries and suspicions began to pour into the mind of the magician, and he could see from the expression. Douglas was not surprised by this. He never thought that speaking alone would bring everyone together. That was dreaming!
The meeting ended in such an atmosphere. Archmages such as Amanatha, Congus, Nielsen, and Plyhill all looked at Douglas's eyes subtly.
Douglas stood up with a smile and said to Arnold: "Mr. Chairman, the mission of assassination of Alfonso, I want to participate, and then I hope to stay in Aringe for a while." (To be continued.
