Sin City
Chapter 18
The class was very quiet, there was no laughter that Vitch expected at all, facing a group of well-behaved students, and a serious expression as well as a considerable amount of respect for the teacher, Vitch could only reluctantly touch his own bald head and muttered, "A group of boring people. All right, let's get straight to the topic. I will teach you how to think, please do not be underestimated, actually it is the foundation of everything, which can determine to what extent you can achieve in the wizarding world. The right way of thinking can bring what you see closer to the reality of the world, so that you can make the right decisions when making important choices, and won't make decisions like a brainless fly that you'll regret for a lifetime. Those so-called important choices included magic experiments and magic choices in battle."
"If you want to sum up my system in one word, from the ground up, remember to know the world before you know yourself. If what you think is all coming from yourself, as someone in this magic tower thinks, then you can only see a small area around you, this determines that your lifetime achievements will be limited. How can a sparrow compare to an eagle?! So don't be like that guy, that way of thinking is just a prairie rat!"
After viciously insinuating "someone in this magic tower" for ten minutes, Vitch began official material.
"Primal power is the foundation of everything, our world is built on primal power, and gradually develops as primal power develops itself. The primal power is so vast that we still cannot harness it, we can regard the primal power as the point of origin, our world, and perhaps along with the countless worlds that exist, depends on this point."
"Rules form the skeleton of our world, and countless planes are the flesh and blood of the world. The rules are higher than planes, and they are based on planes. Each plane is a specific embodiment of one or more rules, the more rules that can be carried, the bigger and higher the aircraft in the world. And the perfect plane with the plural rules, like the plane on which the Norland continent we are flying, is a high-level plane, we also call it the main plane."
“Explain me until here, you will understand that the rules and the plane are one unit, if you want to be strong, then you must follow the rules, not vice versa. If you break the rules, you will definitely be punished and do not think to ignore the rules even though it is strong, unless you feel you can fight the entire plane, he said, new ones have the possibility to change or even break the ground rules. Under the basic rule, there is also a derived secondary rule, which is an object you can crave! Attention, desire! The meaning of the word dream is an ideal that you can not achieve in your lifetime, a miracle will always be there, but do not expect it can happen to you! Now that you have to understand how important it is to understand the world, the strong will utilize even challenging derivative rules, only a fool will play tricks on the basic rules."
"Rules determine the basic characteristics and power systems of the aircraft. In a future that might not happen, you might be able to cross planes to complete the conquest. At that time, analyzing the derivative rules and the aircraft power system was your top priority, only after completing this step, he said, you can adjust battle patterns and reallocate resources to maximize the use of the aircraft environment, rather than being limited by it. And in this process, there's one thing that matters most, do you know what it is? "
Vitch has explained a lot, and his mouth is also dry. After drinking a can of magic pure water into the stomach, he shouted loudly, "Dragon of Eternity and Time!"
The dragon of immortality and time almost had a very high position in the Norland continent, was ranked among the many gods, its strength was incredible, did not require trust, and was elusive. The dragon of immortality and time has its own temple, the eternal dragon palace. The Eternal Dragon Palace was the most important place on the continent, as it was only here a place to be able to communicate with the Eternal Dragon and Time. The location and number of the Eternal Dragon Palace was fixed, unchangeable, and unaffected by the changes of space and time. Before the records of the oldest racial civilization, the Eternal Dragon Palace already existed on the continent. The magic civilization in the Norland Continent, regardless of race or location, was heavily influenced by the Eternal Dragon Palace. Precisely because of his guidance, humans who were originally only weak beings, who survived by relying on reproducing ability, became able to develop a magic civilization that was not inferior to Elves and dragon-blooded dwarves, the, and built three powerful and vast empires. The other races were also greatly influenced by the Eternal Dragon Palace, the capitals of the six kingdoms of the various races on the surface of the continent were all built in the Eternal Dragon Palace that had been discovered.
"This old dragon as if was an existence unrelated to rules, it had left its own footprints on countless planes! When you enter a new plane, your main goal is to find the trail it left behind in the world. Whether it's a female dragon, an egg, or something else, even if it's just a pile of dragon dung, as long as you find it, you can immediately understand the rules of the plane, right away, and it will be a very powerful inter-aircraft creature! Compared to this old dragon, the so-called god was nothing more than a rule parasite, those who controlled a little rule were weak gods, he said, and for those who had more rules was a powerful god. Look, the world is so simple!"
“From bottom to top, it should still be from bottom to top!” Vitch's face reddened with excitement, his chaotic magic elements making people worry whether he would die from the magic explosion from within, but his voice became louder and louder, "Origin, the world, the rules, the rules, planes, powers, and then individuals, are just that simple! When you have mastered the right way of thinking, you will find that you yourself are already standing on the dragon's horn of eternity and time, looking down towards the countless planes from a high position! What we call giants and paladins, which we call legendary, such existences are nothing more than a grain of dust in the world system. Of course, the great Ailen was not included, he was the boss, and was a special existence!!!"
In the end, Vitch waved his short, fat hand, and said with a rhythm and determination of war, "How to think determines everything!"
Each word was like a hammer that struck Richard's consciousness violently, making him feel dizzy. This was not because of the deafening sound of Vitch, but Vitch uses a technique similar to mental shock to arrogantly suppress the consciousness of the disciples with the power of his sixteen level mage who aims to amplify the effects of teaching. When most of the people in the class had already started to recover from the dizziness, the magic bell rang, and today's class ended.
“I think today is enough to get here, let's curse someone in this magic tower together! Please disperse.” Vitch activated the thick magic and instantly left with the level eight magic teleportation technique, fully showing the great power of a level sixteen mage.
After returning to his residence, Richard could not calm down for a long time, he eagerly reread the lesson described by Vitch, and when he finished reading, the day was already about to dawn. Vitch opens the door for her, showing her a secret piece of the world, the same feeling she had when she first opened the scriptures in her attic.
Riley was tall and skinny, wearing magic glasses of fine gold wire, her body was neatly shampooed, and her wise and deep eyes seemed to be able to see everything in the world. When he stood on the podium, the classroom was as silent as ever, a level seventeen mage was not far from a level eighteen great mage, in between would never be able to rise to that rank, or go up in one night. Compared to a level sixteen mage, an additional level eight magic spell slot was enough to make the outcome of the battle between the two irreversible. The gap between a magician who had three level eight magic with one who had two level eight magic could be calculated by a ten year old, this still did not include the gap of level seven spells down, either, although the advantage of magic below level seven was not great, but after all, it was still an advantage.
So when Riley first reached level seventeen, her attitude became perfect in certain specific matters, and she no longer cared about the living conditions of the prairie mice, let alone the Kamchatka wild boar.
Riley always feels good when standing in the middle of the podium. At least at this moment, in this sealed space, she was the supreme existence that controlled everything, it would be even more perfect if not to think of a woman named Ailen.
Riley's voice was soft but not vague, sounding with the same volume in everyone's ears, "Everything has a foundation, just as the world was built in its origin, and planes and rules depend on each other. We, whether humans or other races, live in interdependence with each other. Even though we are weak, we never complain. There are no two identical souls in the world, nor are two identical people, so what is the meaning of our existence? That is to understand the world, gradually becoming stronger, gaining more resources, which means freedom. Our world is a world dominated by the strong, our laws are rules made by the strong, this has an immeasurable distance from the rules of the descent of the plane, the, but it can determine the fate of most of us. As a weakling, let alone breaking the rules of inheritance, breaking the law alone is enough to make us annihilated."
Most of the students attending the class nodded, and some of the old witches were more emotional. Compared to the situation where most of the students in the classroom yesterday were almost forcibly infused with spiritual power, today's lecture finally had some interactive reactions. Having received a good response, Riley smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Only a great magician or magician can sense the rules of descent, either, and it was impossible to understand the basic rules of the plane without reaching the legendary realm. Among us, how many people can reach the realm of magician masters? Even geniuses, how many would give up halfway? The structure of the world, the rules of the plane, I could have told you, but this means nothing to you. But in this magical world everything is possible, with the key having great power, and where does that power come from? It comes from an understanding of oneself and the utilization of the environment. Actually everyone is complicated, knowing yourself fully can probably be a lifelong task. Therefore, if you want to increase your strength, you have to slowly. From the ground up, it can only determine fate."
As Riley waved her hand, a magical image of the human body appeared in front, she pointed to various parts of the image and began to explain, "The power is not complicated, but it is also not as simple as a few spell slots. Although the three level eight magic slots were definitely stronger than the two, but other factors should not be ignored. In general, one's strength can be broken down into four parts: attributes, equipment, skills, and bloodlines. There is actually a fifth part, which is wisdom! This is the biggest difference between each individual, and is the part that only you can understand, I will not explain this one in detail here, so let's start with attributes, and let's talk about what spiritual power is..”.
Richard gained a lot of knowledge from this class, for the first time he learned that spiritual power comes from soul power, and magical power from the source of magic power. Those warriors usually relied on cultivating magical power, while the priests borrowed divine power. However, after each profession entered the legendary stage, they all began to use the power of rules, and the size of the rules that could be used determined the level of strength.
At the end of the class, Riley concluded, "Don't be greedy for unrealistic things, increase your strength gradually, this is what you need to do. We are not discussing anything else, that increased strength will also prolong the life span, so a long life span will also increase your chances of pursuing a stronger power. So first understand yourself clearly, understand the surrounding environment, allocate resources, and maximize your own personal strength. The further a strong person goes, the greater the meaning of each step. The gap between a level seventeen mage and a level sixteen mage was actually not as small as people thought."
Richard had just memorized two completely opposite ways of thinking, before he had time to think carefully, Master Phil proposed some new ways of thinking in the third day class, for example, the master draws a circle in the air then adds a line in the middle, so the left side is red and the right side is blue.
"The mysteries of the world are endless, can we know everything? That's a point of fundamental disagreement. Some people think it can, many witches fall into this category. While others think it's impossible, they tend to think that only gods can do this, usually devs or gods who fall into this category."
The lines of Master Phil are separated from the center of the circle, the left and right half. Of course, this does not mean which category people are more, the intent of this action is Phil will not make judgments about which method is more correct, he said, just an introduction to this from a neutral point of view.
After explaining the contradiction of whether the world can be divided indefinitely or not, Master Phil also stated more than a dozen other points of view. Just like Richard, most people did not understand him well, and their biggest doubt was what was the point of knowing these things? After all knowing this cannot increase magic power.
But no one would dare to say those doubts directly. Phil was a level eighteen mage master, and it did not seem to be much different from a level seventeen mage. Actually the difference between a magician magister and a level seventeen mage was only one level nine magic spell slot.
Just a level nine magic spell slot, that's all....
