"Compared to you, the proud ones who have actually passed the exam and entered the First University, my talent is not that outstanding. You have been helping me with my studies on talismans, so you should understand this... In fact, recently,
For more than a hundred years, the proportion of Gypsy witches in the ranks has been getting lower and lower."
"Three hundred years ago, we could send a delegation of hundreds of registered wizards to attend the collective meeting of the Wizards Alliance; a hundred years ago, it was difficult for us to send a delegation of even thirty people... Now, no one knows about witches
How long has it been since a representative of the group appeared in the Wizards Alliance?"
"As far back as I can remember, most of the gypsy witches in the tower have spellcasting skills below those of registered wizards. There are even many magicians. It's just because we have mastered some unique techniques in our long history that we are able to do what we do now.
They can barely pass on in such an environment... In addition, the ancestors reached an agreement with the Wizards Alliance a long time ago, so they can still stay in the tower and will not be sent to the north area of Beta Town."
"But eventually it got harder and harder."
Elena turned her back to Zheng Qing, looking at the sparkling Linzhong Lake in the distance, staring at the small white tower in the center of the lake, her voice became thinner and thinner under the breeze: "I wonder if you have any
I have been to the North District of Beta Town... Grandma said that if our witch coven continues like this, everyone will live in the North District of Beta Town within fifty years."
Zheng Qing took a deep breath and said nothing.
The North District of Beta Town is the slum area of Beta Town. It is also the largest concentration of magicians in the wizarding world. There are also many wizards whose spellcasting skills cannot meet the requirements of the alchemy factory, and they also live there quietly - because of the "Wizard Code"
Due to restrictions, these wizards with weak magical powers are prohibited from contacting Baiding's world at will, which also makes it difficult for them to improve their lives.
A few weeks ago, Fatty Xin did an exclusive interview with the North District of Beta Town, and he was depressed for more than half a month.
"...Ragged clothes, dirty faces, skinny children, and old people huddled in the corner gasping for breath." A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of the Gypsy Witch's mouth: "We often say that there is nothing that magic cannot do.
But in fact, poverty and wealth, talent and mediocrity, there are too many things in the world that even with magic, there is no way to eliminate them."
"The rich have a field of hope, while the poor have no place to stand... This is a problem of the system." Zheng Qing cleared his throat and responded in a low voice: "Human society is originally a selfish society, and we cannot expect everyone to be enlightened.
, giving to the world."
Perhaps I felt that the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was a bit heavy.
The Gypsy Witch was silent for a moment, and then she spoke and talked about what she was doing again: "... Regarding the decline of the witch group, some people speculate that we have excessively used divination, channeling and other magic, and have been rejected by the will of the world. Change
In other words, they were condemned by God. Of course, more people believe that the decline of the witch coven is only due to our increasingly closed inheritance environment compared to the outside world."
"So, this year we were sent here. Everyone is pinning their hopes on us."
"But even with three more months of preparatory courses, our study progress still cannot fully meet the requirements of the First University. If we follow this level, we will definitely not be able to pass the examination for registered wizards in four years."
"So I had to find other ways out."
As she spoke, the witch weighed the marble railing in her hand, held it flat in front of her, and said softly:
"When I was very young, with the help of my grandma, I channeled a mysterious being from another world. According to him, he was the moon god of a certain world, and his broken body was suppressed deep in the campus of First University.
."
"He promised that if I liberated His true body, he would grant me the glory of a saint. I estimate that it is approximately equivalent to the level of a senior registered wizard. For me, it is enough..."
"You agreed?" Zheng Qing finally couldn't help but interrupted the witch with a somewhat anxious tone: "Although I don't know much, Xiao Xiao once warned me repeatedly, 'Don't talk to people who can't see their brains.'
Don’t mention any contracts you made with them!”
"Do I look that stupid?" The witch glanced at him and finally showed a smile: "What Dr. Xiao Da said is absolutely correct. However, I have not reached any agreement with him."
As she spoke, she raised the pillar in her hand and murmured: "But that doesn't mean I can't do something."
Zheng Qing stared at the pillar blankly, thinking about the meaning behind the words of the witch, but quickly gave up. Magic represents infinite possibilities, and no one knows what methods the witch group that has been passed down for thousands of years will use to treat it.
A sealed god.
But he felt that Elena still had a very crucial question that she hadn't clarified: "So... why do you look so similar to Him?"
"This is a prerequisite for channeling." Elena patiently explained: "Character, appearance, bloodline, etc., if you want to communicate with a certain existence in the dark world, you must meet certain conditions.
The requirement for existence... In other words, just because we look similar, we can build a channel in the dark."
This statement is a bit mysterious, but Zheng Qing has also seen even stranger magic requirements, so it is not difficult to accept it. Maybe this is why the magic of Gypsy witches is difficult to promote on a large scale.
"Put it away first." Zheng Qing sighed, stared at the railing, and muttered: "Anyway, you are running around with this guy, what if it breaks and he really runs out...
…The school should have sunk it in the deepest part of the ocean.”
"You don't really think that the true body of the Moon God is sealed in this column!" Elena couldn't help laughing.
Zheng Qing touched his head and smiled awkwardly.
He did have this thought just now - and he was still thinking in his heart that the wizards were so unreliable that they casually placed such things that suppressed the gods in a rest room. If it was his arrangement,
It will definitely sink that terrace to the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.
"There is a big demon king sleeping in the Mariana Trench. If you think it through, the big demon king will be very grateful to you." The witch smiled and put away the railings, and explained at the same time: "This marble was once contaminated.
The blood of seventy-two elves, so the wizard used magic to carve the terrace and used magic circles to collect their spirits."
"I just want to try and see if I can borrow His blood to improve my psychic skills."
Zheng Qing showed a somewhat surprised expression and nodded repeatedly.
Although he felt that the witch's final explanation was a bit vague, it didn't matter. After all, he understood her more than anyone else.
This is a very good progress.
