The idiot young master of the Luo Lin family ran away with a erudite teacher, which has almost become the most famous joke in the imperial capital in recent days.
A lot of boring people are talking about this matter with gloating minds. Who is Earl Raymond of the Rowling family, who is so famous now? Seeing such a big man being unlucky fits the dark psychology of some boring people.
Besides, Earl Raymond also made a mistake. His offer of a huge reward at the beginning, to find someone to make his child speak, has become a new thing, a small news. And because of that incident, the idiot young master of the Luo Lin family became famous all at once! It has become the focus of people's willingness to talk about it.
What's more, in the imperial capital in the past two years, when many families gave birth, they would habitually say: "Oh, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as they are healthy... don't be like the unlucky Luo Lin's family. A little idiot was born."
On this day, Master Du Wei welcomed his father again. Du Wei disliked the person who came with the Earl this time. Because this person was wearing a gray robe, a gray pointed hat, he also had skinny fingers, and cloudy eyes.
This guy exudes an uncomfortable smell of decay and staleness all over his body. What's more, Du Wei sneezed fiercely due to the strong aura on his body.
"Master Clark, this is my son." The Earl, the vice president of the Imperial High Command, the second person in the Imperial Army, spoke very politely to the guy next to him: "Please see if he is on the path of sacred magic, Is there even a little bit of future?"
It seems that the Earl is helpless. This time, the person he invited to teach his son is the famous Master Clark in the imperial capital.
If "magician" can be regarded as a profession, then this profession is undoubtedly one of the most respected professions. Although, in this so-called "respect", there is more of a trace of fear.
In any place, magicians are a symbol of noble status. They can sit on an equal footing with any noble and receive the best treatment. A powerful magician can be as useful in battle as a small army! And all magicians are the targets of any country's leaders! Not only because magicians have superhuman abilities, but also because these people will not pose a threat to the leader's power!
Most of the energy of a magician's life will be spent in researching magic or meditating to accumulate magic power. Almost all magicians have no desires for the worldly people, they are not greedy for money... because a qualified alchemist can use magic to turn stubborn stones into gems or gold! In their eyes, precious gems are just some magical auxiliary props.
Magicians, on the other hand, have no desire for power, and their lives are all about pursuing the mysteries of magic as their greatest goal, and they do not take worldly desire for power seriously. This is even more pleasing to those in power!
It can be said that in the entire Roland world, magicians are the most noble profession. They are recruited by all powerful figures and can enjoy the best treatment!
But... the earl doesn't want his son to become a magician! Even if there is any other choice!
Because almost all magicians are feared... monsters! They are unreasonable, withdrawn and weird by nature, and they don't like to deal with people. They like to close themselves and indulge in magic research. No noble girl would like to fall in love with a monster who hides in the laboratory all day long. No nobleman's banquet would invite a cold magician to spoil the atmosphere. No emperor would grant titles to magicians or let magicians serve as important ministers of the empire!
And Du Wei, after all, is his own son! He is the heir of the Luo Lin family! He needs to fall in love in the future, needs to get married and have children, needs to continue the family, and needs to participate in various social occasions in the aristocratic circle...
But, who called his son an "idiot" who failed in martial arts and literature? It seems that if he wants to achieve a little achievement, the magician is his last choice!
If the history of the great Luo Lin family can produce a superb magician... Although it is a bit nondescript, it can be considered passable!
With hopeful eyes, the earl watched Master Clark lead his son into a small closed room that had been prepared.
"Okay, kid." After entering the room, Master Clark immediately took out a small bottle, poured a little golden powder on his fingertips, quickly drew a big circle in the room, and then turned around Looking at Du Wei, "I've cast a silence spell. Now, no one outside can hear our conversation here."
Then, the magician with a cold face walked up to Du Wei, looked at the little guy in front of him: "Now, tell me, kid, what is magic in your heart?"
What is magic
This question made Du Wei hesitate for a while. In terms of his true inner thoughts, he is quite interested in the "magic" of this world. After all, he also knows many magnificent legends about magic. But what exactly is magic... In Du Wei's impression, when so-called magicians use magic, they usually sing something like "God of Wind, please obey my call..." and so on.
Then, there are things like flying sand and rocks, crying ghosts and gods howling.
Looking at the child in front of him without speaking, it seems that this question is too profound for this young child. Clark smiled, and then said in a deep and slow voice: "Magic is the almighty gods bestowed upon mankind to unravel the mysteries of divine revelation! It is the way for mankind to pursue the ultimate power in this world! It is to understand oneself, understand the world, and solve Open the source of the greatest gift that the gods bestow on mankind!"
Clark wearing a gray robe had a sacred voice in his voice. It's a pity that these remarks did not catch Du Wei's attention. Because these seemingly lofty words sounded a bit pretentious to Du Wei.
The young Du Wei didn't show anything on his face, and the child's silence made the proud magician mistake it for fear of himself. He was satisfied with the reaction of the earl's heir. Afterwards, the magician took out a fist-sized crystal ball from the wide gray robe.
"Spiritual power is one of the criteria to measure whether a person has magical talent... Although it is not the only criterion, it is the most important link. Now, let me test your magical talent..."
Du Wei finally spoke, and he raised the question in his heart: "Spiritual power? Magic power? But, don't only magicians have magic power?"
Clarke's eyes widened: "Who told you this outrageous statement? Hell, is there anyone in Earl Rollin's mansion who doesn't even have this kind of common sense?"
The magician was irritated by this common-sense mistake: "Spiritual power is what ordinary people say. For magicians, spiritual power is magic power! Magicians can use the method of meditation to continuously grow and increase their spiritual power. , and then use the spiritual power beyond ordinary people to sense the world, sense the mysteries of nature, and sense the various forces in this natural world. Only people with strong spiritual power can do this! Continuously increasing the accumulated spiritual power can It makes the magician more clearly sense the various magical elements in the world... and the so-called magic is to use some tricks to let the magician rely on his own spiritual power to command, or borrow a little power from the natural world for the magician to use—this is magic. .”
Du Wei sighed: "I understand... Spiritual power is magic power. The so-called magic power is actually a kind of lever. Magicians use this lever to borrow the power of nature."
There was a trace of surprise in Clark's cloudy eyes: "It's unbelievable, oh, a child over five years old... Oh, you are very smart, but why do people call you an idiot?"
Regarding this question, Du Wei did not speak, but just looked at the magician silently. The proud magician Clark would not waste time on such a small issue. He was just a little surprised and ignored it.
"This world, this natural world contains too many magical elements. Every point and every drop of them is a source of power. Rain, thunder and lightning, blizzards and strong winds, even the replacement of the sun, moon and stars, the blooming and withering of flowers and plants... All of these are the source of power in nature. And an excellent magician can fully sense all kinds of subtle and clear changes in the world. The "leverage" you just mentioned is a very interesting metaphor. Simple In other words, the stronger the lever you have, the more powerful the natural force you can mobilize. If the lever is too weak, the natural force you can mobilize is very limited.”
Du Wei sighed: "So that's the case. I thought the magician's power comes from his own "magic power"."
Clark frowned again: "I have to wonder, who on earth said such ignorant words to you? What I just said is common sense that even the lowest magic apprentice knows! "Power comes from your own magic power" ?My God... I have to correct you, you firmly remember: the power of human beings is limited, even the strongest people are limited! Magicians can do things that ordinary people cannot, such as strong A magician can level a hill with his hand, or summon a storm... But that is definitely not the magician's own power. It is through magic, with the help of the natural power in the world! And this world is created for us by God , Therefore, fundamentally speaking, when magicians use magic, they use the power of gods! Remember, human beings are created by gods, and human beings can never have the power of gods! That is a taboo! The power of magicians From nature, from the gods who created this "nature"!"
He lowered his voice, frowned and said, "I'm very surprised, how could the Luo Lin family have a child like you who is so wrong about common sense. If you still say that the power similar to a magician comes from when you grow up If you are like this... I can't guarantee that you will not be burned to death on the stake in front of the temple! Because your words are fundamentally doubting the gods!"
Du Wei closed his mouth, his eyes returned to being numb, and then lowered his small head, hiding his expression properly.
