"This is a world that is good at using the power of the mind."
"A long time ago, wizards discovered it. Then they explored, opened up, and developed... just like wizards did in other worlds. But gradually, things changed."
"The rules of the ebb and flow of magic in this world are always changing. Many spells fail at every turn. The indigenous mages that the wizards spend a lot of effort training often defect after growing up...even many fruits grown by nature are harmless to the indigenous people.
, but it is extremely poisonous to wizards.”
"We all know that the mind is a very secret existence."
"A world that specializes in the power of the mind is more resistant to external changes than other worlds... Well, in the words of wizard investigators, this world is too selfish and prevents people from living in this world just for the sake of their own existence.
of people seeking a better future.”
The husband slowly told Zheng Qing the history of this world and the origin of these "aquariums". The young public-funded student always felt a little awkward listening to it.
Using his simple understanding, this is probably the history of the struggle between the colonies and the colonists - oppression and resistance, appeasement and crusade - the colonists believe that they have brought civilization, while the colonies believe that they need independence more.
From an objective standpoint, it is difficult to judge which side's statement is more reasonable.
But from the perspective of wizards, it is obvious that wizards represent the development direction of advanced productive forces and are the general trend. Just like all the stories between colonies and colonists in history, the original backward civilization was crushed by the advanced foreign civilization.
The fragmented and developed 'new world' is bathed in the glory of magic and glowing with vitality.
"Of course, these vitality are just appearances." The gentleman nodded, confirming the boy's doubts:
"Just like the three worlds we experienced before... On the surface, this world is full of vitality. But this vitality is based on countless bones and innocent souls. If the 'resistance' under the bones and innocent souls is not completely eliminated,
When this vitality grows, the wizarding world will suffer a backlash."
The gentleman's words were full of wit.
Every word is worthy of Zheng Qing's careful consideration, breaking it into pieces and slowly savoring it.
"...These brains are the 'resistance' beneath the bones and wronged souls. They are the fire left by this world for itself. They are the desperate struggle of Gaia and the final determination of the resisters."
"They gathered the remaining power of this world, deprived the strong of their freedom, sent them into the formation, extracted the deepest power of their spirits and hearts, and created this barrier called 'thought'."
"Those 'strong ones' could have had a better future...food, fine clothes, power, money, strength, etc. But they were constrained by this world."
"This kind of resistance is to sell the freedom of some people to ensure that the seeds can survive under the barrier. If you are not willing to stand and die, you can only live."
"Should we help them?" the boy couldn't help but ask - he meant those who were restrained. Looking at the brains floating in the 'aquarium', Zheng Qing felt heartbroken.
"Of course, this is the purpose of our coming here." The gentleman said, took a step forward, raised his hand, and waved. A gray wave of air suddenly appeared, rolling forward, flooding everything and all the glass.
Jars, turbid liquids, naked brains, and criss-crossing tubes all turned into powder in front of this gray air wave.
Just like the moon-gazing tide overflowing onto the beach, sweeping away all the dirt.
The whole world is purified.
Zheng Qing was speechless and speechless.
This is not what he imagined as salvation.
"The poison of the soul is more difficult to eradicate than other forces." The gentleman clapped his hands as if slapping the non-existent dust: "Sending them to reincarnation is more thorough and cleaner than any rescue... In most worlds, hunting groups
We can handle it very cleanly with the great wizards. But in a world like this that has 'resistance seeds' and the power of resistance is deeply hidden, higher-level wizards are needed to take action."
"Only higher-level wizards can fundamentally destroy the soil on which resistance relies for survival."
"Do you think what we are doing is evil?"
The husband asked a question, and without waiting for Zheng Qing's answer, he asked and answered again: "Of course we are evil. For this world, we are the most evil existence. And they are a symbol of justice and courage. But are we really evil?
?We have brought civilization, freedom and prosperity to this world."
"Justice and courage are important, but all justice has a price, and all courage has to pay a price. Irresponsible courage is reckless and will bring destruction; justice without a stand is stupidity and ignorance.
The evil son."
"Now, after reading these two cases, tell me, what did you learn?"
"What do you extract from these two cases in common?"
Zheng Qing glanced at his husband blankly, then looked down at the small notebook in his hand - it was filled with what his husband had said before, as well as his own insights and stories of today's experience.
Only there is nothing in common.
One is a magician from the old world, praying to the great wizard for strength; the other is a seed of resistance in the new world, turned into ashes under the mighty power.
What do these two things have in common? They are completely unrelated!
Zheng Qing twisted the slender quill pen in his hand and stared at the emerald green feathers spinning around on his fingertips, like a small windmill. His mind was in chaos, and he tried to extract a little oil from the water.
"Look through the phenomena and see the essence of two things." The teacher reminded.
Essence? What essence?
Zheng Qing's mind was spinning crazily - the essence is that Senior Sister Kolma smashed the hope of a magician without caring, even if the magician was a villain; the essence is that Mr. destroyed the hope of a world without caring, even though the magician was a villain.
That world has been twisted to the point of ugliness.
Don't care?
Zheng Qing vaguely had a clue.
"Sages are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs?" He tried to use the words of the ancients to answer the teacher.
"It's off." The gentleman denied with a straight face: "But the direction is right... think about our starting point."
Point of departure?
Colma-senpai's starting point is to be responsible for the history of the magicians; sir's starting point is to save this twisted world and be responsible for this world.
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." The boy licked his dry lips and said an answer that he did not believe.
"Not quite." The teacher shook his head: "Start from yourself and recall what I said before class."
What did your husband say before class?
‘…People from Alpha often say that Jiuyou is a group of nerds. You have both bookishness and dullness. But this is not what I hope for you. Your structure should be bigger.’
‘...Quality is better than literature, which leads to wildness; literature is better than quality, which is history; literature is better than quality, and then you are a gentleman.’
'...Starting today, I will take you around and look around, so that you can re-understand the world and re-examine your own nature. Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise... The content of the first lesson is born
How to be a human being (benevolence).'
Zheng Qing flipped through his notebook and extracted key words from these words.
Finally, he circled two words.
——Gentleman.
——What is benevolence?
Zheng Qing's eyes suddenly brightened.
"The benevolent do not worry." The young wizard replied softly.
A satisfied smile finally appeared on the gentleman's face.
