Ta Valon listened to Xuan Weizi's long talk and asked with some curiosity: "Dr. Olanso, does your psion have a specific name?"
"What specific name?" Xuan Weizi didn't understand.
Tarvalon smiled and explained: "No spellcaster system is an isolated development path. The druids of the Emerald Circle are very different from Gudruids. And among the druids, there are also 'Storm Users'.
', 'Shapechanger' and other variant branches, like me now, are 'Holy Priests', because my spells are closely related to Oak Sanctuary, and I master skills and spells that ordinary druids do not have."
Theus also nodded: "Our mages not only include specialized mages from the eight major sects, but also advanced variants after in-depth research on individual types of spells. Like the 'Magic Bullet Shooter' created by the Missile Queen, there are also the mysterious
'Alien scholars' and 'iridescent scholars'. Even battle mages and arcane knights are considered to be specific mutant spellcasters."
Xuan Weizi finally understood. Spell casters in this world seem to like to classify them in various ways, and the more detailed the classifications, the better. Obviously there are a lot of similarities between advanced variants, but they still have to emphasize their differences, which is very particular.
"major".
Although there are many categories in Taoist practice, there are also many inheritances of Taoist practices in China since ancient times. Their founders also explained the mysteries of the Tao from different angles and directions, but the final result is towards mutual integration.
Just like the most well-known alchemy and talismans in Taoist practice, in fact, the connotations of both are quite complex. If you really want to break it down, you can break down dozens or hundreds of inheritances. But later, alchemy and talismans were integrated with each other.
, not only the cooperation in application, but also the mutual penetration of internal principles.
Forcibly distinguishing the so-called "doors" by using this school's alchemy practice and that one's painted talismans is just a political method used by ancient emperors to conveniently control the sects, and has nothing to do with the subtleties of Taoism. It is even easy for beginners to fall into this narrow-mindedness
The "sectarian view" can be said to be more disaster than blessing.
Xuan Weizi had already explained clearly the reason why Alchemy was called the "Tao", but in the end, they still asked about "professionals", making him sigh that it is not easy to spread the Tao.
"Although we have many exchanges in skills and magic, these people cannot be Taoist friends after all." Xuan Weizi sighed in his heart. He had seen many people like this in his previous life who made friends for stronger power and more exquisite skills.
"We don't have a specific name, we are just psychics." Xuan Weizi answered the two people's questions.
Theus shook his head and said seriously: "Doctor, this is not possible. If you want to teach others the skills of psychic powers in the future, others will not come if you don't have a famous name."
Xuan Weizi smiled and said: "You mean to let me open an academy and recruit apprentices?"
Ta Valon also said: "With your knowledge and insights, Doctor Olanso, you can definitely do this. Moreover, the Magic Academy itself is a place to expand power and concentrate wealth. Since the bloodline of warlocks among humans is almost completely cut off, the ability of spellcasters
It is difficult to inherit, and a closer relationship of interest can be formed between mentors and apprentices. Take a look at the Eye of Mystery and the Tower of Pentagram. These mage organizations were originally magic academies, but now they are huge forces with minions and eyes all over the place. They are no longer very
Bound by the Empire."
Such explicit words made Titus a little embarrassed. However, he was determined to hug Xuan Weizi's "thigh" tightly, so he encouraged him from the side: "Doctor, I think you are not against it.
Teach others skills, but you can't always be a good person! These days, knowledge is money, knowledge is power, and knowledge is power! Let more people learn psychic powers. The more followers you have, the greater the benefits you will get.
Ah! There is no reason for good people to suffer, right?"
Xuan Weizi glanced at the two of them. He taught Taoism to everyone. His original intention was to summarize the phenomena from them, discover the rules, and then improve his own specific practice. As for establishing a sect, Xuan Weizi knew how troublesome it was.
Establishing a sect, whether on earth or in another world, no matter how noble and beautiful the reason is, essentially requires dealing with people from different backgrounds, seeking benefits to maintain the organization's survival, and improving the distribution of benefits within the organization.
We also need to find a path for organizational development and continuation.
None of these items can be accomplished by Xuan Weizi alone. He will not be flattered by the two people in front of him. He really thinks that he has the ability to establish a sect and recruit many disciples. In his previous life,
The lessons are still fresh in my mind.
Xuan Weizi does have the desire to spread Taoism and teach the Dharma, but it does not necessarily have to be realized by directly establishing a magic academy. Moreover, what he wants to teach is the Taoism, not simply psychic powers.
Transmission and teaching are similar but have differences. Especially in different cultures and worldviews, the differences will be more obvious. Taoist teaching is to teach people to become adults, while teaching is to teach people to become talents.
There is no doubt that the mages and arcane arts in this world are the most prominent systems for teaching people to become talented. However, the talent itself only allows people to acquire skills, but it does not teach people how to be adults and how to get along with the world. Therefore, even though the mages in this world are powerful
, but they still do everything they can to seize everything. They are always in an inexplicable uneasiness and need to build an "absolutely safe" world with the mage as the center.
Xuan Weizi suddenly understood, isn't this the most typical "delusion"? The essence of possessing external objects is not to possess the thing itself, but to be driven by the desire to possess, to make everything in the world conform to the original intention, and to regard reality as one's own delusion
Heart.
But then I thought about it, why am I not such a person? In my previous life, I insisted on everything going as I wanted, and believed that this was "directly directed at my true heart," but I didn't know that my true heart had already fallen into delusion.
"No wonder they said I was deeply possessed by the devil. Is that what they meant?" Xuan Weizi suddenly muttered to himself.
"Doctor, what are you talking about?" Theus didn't understand.
Xuan Weizi suddenly thought of the horizon, and quickly pulled his thoughts back and said: "There is no need to worry about the Magic Academy. The current situation in Chaidui Town cannot support a group of spellcasters who focus on practicing psychic powers. It is green."
The Ring can take advantage of this moment to make full use of it."
Ta Valon said: "Don't worry, the Holy Oak lives here, and there will be no problems in harvesting food from now on. I will also teach the 'plant growth' to the indigenous tribes who come to settle here, so that they will have no worries."
"Food alone is not enough, we also need to let them learn more ways to make a living." Xuan Weizi said.
Tarvalon replied: "Doctor Oranso, the natives are not really as stupid and ignorant as the empire claims. They can also make the things they need for normal daily life. Even ordinary people in the empire may not really be able to make them."
They are much better than the natives of the New World."
"That's true." Xuan Weizi nodded, "However, the colonial development of the Imperial Legion mainly relies on the power of mages. If the indigenous people want to establish themselves here for a long time, they also need to develop and improve their spells. Druid spells alone can increase food production.
Guaranteed income is not enough.”
A proud smile flashed across Ta Valon's face, but he didn't say anything clearly. He just nodded: "We understand this. I wonder what the doctor thinks?"
Xuan Weizi touched his chin and asked: "I saw that the mage's phantom horse carriage is good. The mage's phantom horse is a magical object. I'm wondering if I can create a similar spirit horse through spirit spells as a vehicle or mount.
.Not only can it walk like flying on difficult terrain, but it can even be improved to walking on water and flying in the air. After all, the transportation of people and materials still relies on vehicles. It is impossible for everyone to rely on the 'Teleportation Array' to travel, right? That is a ninth-level
With spells, you can’t carry too much extra weight.”
Theus said reflexively: "If you need it, doctor, you can buy it from our Pentagram Tower! The Phantom Colt carriage is not very expensive. The carriage can also be customized, providing fine gold splints, communication crystals,
Various equipment such as warm beds, and even pleasure tools. If you purchase ten vehicles at one time, you will immediately enjoy a 50% discount, why don’t you hurry up and buy them?”
"To be honest, are these advertisements part of your Pentagram Tower graduation exam?" Xuan Weizi said in a dumbfounded voice.
"Don't ask, I feel ashamed too..." Theus said, holding his head.
…
When Master Nelum walked out of the Master's mansion, with a relaxed look on his face, he came to Xuan Weizi and others, and said to Ta Valon: "After discussion, our Pentagram Tower allowed the Emerald Ring to be placed in the Golden Crown Wood.
Missionary work within the Dominion.”
This actually met Tar Valon's vision. He did not show any joy and asked: "You mages never give in without reason. Tell me, what are your requirements?"
"First, the ruins of the ancient giants will be developed by our Pentagram Tower, and the Emerald Ring cannot stop it," Master Nelem said.
This time it was Xuan Weizi's turn to speak: "I won't stop it, but maybe we can jointly develop and share the development results with each other, so that we can cooperate better."
Master Nelum asked: "Has Dr. Olenso visited the ruins already?"
"I've been in there before, but I don't know much about it." Xuan Weizi said, "But I'm also very interested in the magic of ancient giants. I heard that the Tower of Pentagram has collected skills related to giant magic. Can you give me a reference?
"
"At the appropriate time, yes." Master Nelem did not fully agree and continued: "Secondly, in addition to the communication crystal tower, our Pentagram Tower will set up a combat academy in Pile Town and station a team of secret knights.
.”
Xuan Weizi and Ta Valon looked at each other, and then said: "Yes, but I'm afraid you have to bear the cost and building materials yourself."
"No problem!" Master Nelum smiled easily: "Of course, locals are also welcome to join this combat academy. Our secret knights will train them, whether they join the Pentagram Tower in the future or go out to do some work.
Adventurers only need cheap tuition."
Xuan Weizi said: "Then I will add one more request. If possible, can more colonists be allowed to come here to cultivate land?"
Master Nelum had no objection to this, but was a little surprised: "Yes, but I'm afraid we won't be able to find many colonists in a short time."
Tar Valon sneered and said: "Your Excellency Master Nelem, Fire Dance City is an important town in the slave trade. I don't believe you haven't participated in it!"
Master Nelem is a little ashamed. You must know that although Huowu City is a prosperous town, many people have to sell themselves into slaves due to the pressure of life. However, the slave industry in Huowu City is relatively "standardized", starting from the poorest.
, coolies with nothing, landless farmers who know some crafts, unemployed craftsmen, and even citizens who cannot repay their loans, these slaves are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Master Nelum's life maid is from these standardized slaves
Bought from the market and "specially ordered".
He could only say: "There are slaves, but the slave industry is mainly managed by people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. I can't just ask them to send them over, unless you are willing to pay..."
Xuanweizi waved to Master Nelum, and the two walked away alone, saying, "I wonder if Master Nelum came to work in Chaidui Town for the official duties of the Pentagram Tower, or for his own future development?"
"This... of course is official business." Master Nelum didn't quite understand the other party's intentions, although he also had selfish motives now.
"I have a way to make a fortune. I wonder if Master Nelum is interested?" Xuan Weizi said.
The mage, regardless of his strength, always loves money. He asked with bright eyes: "What is the way to get rich?"
"A road leading to the Dark Territory." Xuan Weizi said. In fact, he understood this when he refined Ma'ang into a tool. Ma'ang came to the surface and opened a winding road that led directly to the depths of the earth.
The dark place of the place.
Master Nelum took a breath. The underground world has always been recognized as a place full of dangers and opportunities. Since minerals are often buried deep underground, and most of the surface mineral deposits are strictly controlled, who can control the path to the underworld?
The path is equivalent to mastering an endless way to make money.
"Why did you tell me this?" Master Nelum couldn't believe that someone would tell outsiders about this opportunity to make a fortune without any reason? Even the church's magicians would not have such kind intentions, would they?
"Don't worry, I also want to make money from it, but I have always believed that cooperation will benefit both parties." Xuan Weizi said this, but what he wanted in his heart was to use this to win over Master Nelum.
Because if Master Nelum can gain huge benefits from the Underdark Realm, he is not willing to have part of it divided by the Tower of Pentagram, so if he grasps this matter well, he can use Master Nelum for himself.
.
For people who are greedy for life, afraid of death, and extravagant and lustful, you can control them by following their temperament.
Even a ninth-level mage like Nelem will become blind once he is obsessed with profit.
"Then...what do you need, Doctor Olenso?" Master Nelum still retained a trace of reason.
"This is the first step of friendship. Your Excellency Master Nelum can regard this as an investment." Xuan Weizi said: "And I don't know what is under this passage now. But now there is a nest under my control.
The snow goblins are exploring. When the time is almost up, I will inform you of the situation and you can go and have a look later."
