After his father left, Allen returned to the desk, closed the calculus textbook, and pushed it aside.
Every student who is not doing his job is a master of superficial work. This sentence is just right to describe Allen.
In fact, Allen did not believe everything his father said.
Allen was not surprised that the Mage Tower accepted students from Cambridge University as magic apprentices.
In his memory, the magic system of this world is a great test of IQ. Magicians take it as their own duty to explore the truth of the world, and every time they design a magic spell, they need to perform a lot of mathematical operations.
In other words, in the field of magic, there is no way for a scumbag to get away.
As the best university in the country, the University of Cambridge is naturally home to top academics, so it is much easier for magicians to find qualified apprentices than elsewhere.
Of course, Allen didn't think that the magicians in the Mage Tower would pay a huge price to improve his poor magic talent.
With this little effort, they might as well find a student with better talent.
All of this was just a white lie from his father. In short, it was a tactful way to persuade him to focus more on his studies.
Studying is important, but at this moment, Allen has more important things to do.
He planned to try the first magic in this life with the help of the black crystal stone.
Allen does not have magic power in his body. Therefore, he cannot use the ready-made spells in magic books at all.
However, after possessing the black crystal, he may be able to directly manipulate the elements with mental power like the legendary magician.
"I don't know if my mental power is stronger than before after possessing the black crystal stone," Allen thought silently, "but after staying up all night, I don't feel tired at all. According to the book, this
It should be a sign that his mental strength is far superior to that of ordinary people."
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and decided to use his mental power to try a simple magic to send messages. As for the recipient of the message, he planned to set it to himself.
He didn't want to accidentally scare others.
Looking at the neatly arranged light elements and dark elements in his field of vision, he couldn't help but think of the nervous and expectant mood he felt when he first learned computer programming in his previous life.
The pocket watch in his pocket kept ticking, and as the sunlight outside the window gradually illuminated the spacious room, two minutes passed quickly.
In Allen's clear black and white vision, a line of clearly visible handwriting slowly emerged, with a pixel-like grainy texture, appearing in this strange environment.
"Hello, world." (hello world)
Looking at this line of inconspicuous handwriting, a smile of satisfaction appeared on Allen's face. Under the sunlight, his eyes were filled with excitement.
This is a time traveler's greetings to a new life.
From today on, he will assume the identity of "Alan York" and integrate into this new world.
…………
The northernmost place of Braden Kingdom, the Black Temple.
Although it is already late spring, the mountainous areas in the northern part of the kingdom are still shrouded in ice and snow.
The high priest Delphi stood alone in the temple, looking at a simple mirror and talking softly to himself.
"Great Father of Darkness, have you really abandoned us?"
"You are the order in the night and the master of the kingdom of the dead. No matter where your shadow falls, we are your most devout believers."
"It's just that, O Lord, the Supreme Lord, if you can hear our prayers, please use your unparalleled wisdom to point out the way forward for us."
"We have been lost in this world for too long..."
"..."
This mirror is called a "god-given thing". It is said that part of the consciousness of the God of Darkness is hidden in this mirror. A long time ago, the God of Darkness would convey his oracles to believers through this mirror.
them.
However, for decades, the high priest Delphi had sincerely prayed thousands of times in front of this mirror, but this ruthless mirror never gave him the slightest response.
Sometimes, he would even suspect that the God of Darkness that he and his companions worshiped had already abandoned them. Otherwise, why has the Church of Light grown stronger over the years, while their Dark Temple has become a street rat in the eyes of everyone?
Under the siege of the Church of Light, he fled all over the world.
Alas, I think back then, when the Temple of Darkness was at its most glorious, even the Church of Light had to avoid its edge, and the reputation of the God of Darkness spread throughout thousands of planes.
But what now? Almost all the Dark Temples around the world have been demolished by the madmen from the Church of Light. This temple in the far north of the Braden Kingdom is probably the only Dark Temple left in the world.
The god he believed in was also labeled as an "evil god".
As for the believers of the Dark Temple, they are living in exile all over the world, hiding their names, groveling, and living a shady life.
There are also those companions who were burned at the stake by the Church of Light. Whenever he thinks of them, Delphi can't help but get tears in her eyes.
Thinking of this, High Priest Delphi sighed deeply, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a bit, making him seem to have aged several years.
However, just as his eyes fell on the mirror again, something unexpected happened.
On this mirror that had been silent for a long time, a faint black smoke suddenly appeared, like ink stains, stretching and surging on the mirror surface, forming a short and clear line of writing.
Seeing this miraculous scene, Delphi couldn't believe his eyes. With his heart beating faster, he rubbed his eyes and finally confirmed that the scene in front of him was not an illusion.
"My lord...he...he has not abandoned us!"
Surprised, Delphi began to carefully identify the writing on the mirror.
However, his smile quickly froze on his face.
"Hello World."
"This...what does this oracle mean?"
Looking at the enigmatic "hello world" on the mirror, Delphi felt very confused.
In the records of the Dark Temple, the oracles are mysterious and ambiguous. If you want to understand the will of the gods, the interpretation of the priests is very crucial.
However, it was the first time for Delphi to see such a completely puzzling oracle as "Hello, world".
After thinking for a long time, a bold guess came to his mind.
"Could it be that...my lord...he came to this world?"
Apart from this, there is no other more reasonable explanation.
At this moment, he burst into tears of joy. The years of frustration and frustration seemed to be swept away.
In an ecstatic mood, the Delphi priest strode to the door of the temple, and with a trembling voice, ordered to the girl guarding the door:
"Call them all in! Tell them that the great dark god has descended on this world.
"Now, it's time to demand that the Church of Light repay its blood debt with blood!"
