When the magicians were immersed in and reminiscing about the glory of the past, Douglas' voice became more solemn: "The glorious victory made the ancient legendary magicians more persistent in their pursuit of power. Until the Sect of Truth grew stronger, the three major magic empires were destroyed in just a few hundred years, and the glory of the past has become the bitterness, bewilderment and despair of today."
The glory of the past was suddenly shattered, and the cruel reality returned coldly. Magicians from different organizations such as Owen and Erica seemed to be poured cold water on their heads. Although they were mentally prepared, they still felt depressed, sighed, and sad. Emotions, guessing that Douglas and Arnold and other great mages have the same intentions, using the glorious past and tragic reality as a contrast to arouse every magician's hope for unity, strength, and future.
"However, the church is really too powerful, and there are really angels descending!"
"The cycle for magicians to become stronger has not been lengthened, but it seems too long compared to priests..."
"Is the alliance really useful? The target is big, but it is easy to be targeted and wiped out! It may be safer to disperse and hide!"
"Only by ensuring survival first, can we find a way to cooperate with extraordinary creatures, study them, and break through the limit of magic development..."
All kinds of thoughts came pouring in, brewing in the minds of the seemingly silent mages. Even the leaders of major organizations such as Nelson and Prisher sitting on the stage had similar emotions.
Although they are working hard to develop their own organizations, seek opportunities for survival, and carry out preliminary cooperation for a bright future, whoever says that they are confident in this, and whoever says that there is no panic in their hearts, is absolutely lying of!
The reason why they can move forward with relative enthusiasm and confidence is because there is no other way. When there is no choice, people will always be more determined.
Of course, take refuge in the church. Becoming a night watchman is also a way out. But for the leaders of these organizations, they are really unwilling to give up themselves before the dust of the western war settles and become a dog of the church. Maybe Alto can really hold on? And if Aalto also fell, and most of the legendary masters died, it seemed that it would not be of much value whether he surrendered or not.
Arnold shared their thoughts and nodded in satisfaction with Douglas' speech. Fernando muttered to himself, just to talk nonsense
Douglas lowered his right hand and used gestures to strengthen his tone: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, it's time to be quiet. Don't be fooled by power, it's time to calm down and think about some issues." ——In Ancient Magic Empire , there is only the "gender" of the magician, and there is no custom of the venerable lady, so when speaking. It has always been the order of Mr. Ms.
Forehead? What are you thinking about
The magicians, including Congers and other powerhouses, were stunned for a moment, thinking about the issue of union? He is so aggressive! But what does this have to do with being confused by power? Is it emphasizing unity over strength? What a joke, everyone here is united, not enough for a "Heart of Time" to slash!
Just as they were wondering, Douglas' voice suddenly became louder. Resounded throughout the hall: "We need to figure out:"
"What is the essence of magic?"
"Why do creatures have spiritual power?"
"What is the essence of spiritual power?"
"What form does it exist in?"
ah
Even Fernando looked at Douglas with his mouth half open. What's the problem
Regarding the nature of magic, ancient magicians have always thought about it, so Congers and other powerhouses were not too surprised, but isn't spiritual power innate? Doesn't everyone have it, only the difference between strength and weakness? Isn't it a unique expression of the soul? What are these latter questions
When they heard it for the first time, they only thought it was ridiculous. If a middle-level and low-level mage asked this question, they would definitely interrupt each other roughly, but now the speaker is an archmage, an archmage who knows how to stop time. This is the most powerful force when you can't hide it!
So they listened patiently, and gradually realized to their astonishment that they couldn't answer these questions! Moreover, after careful consideration, it seems that these problems really need to be studied!
The middle and high-level magicians such as Erica below looked at each other amusedly. If they could think about these essential problems, they would have already become legendary magicians. Do you still need Mr. Douglas to remind
But this series of questions also shocked them a little. They subconsciously straightened their backs, looked at Douglas intently, and listened to his speech. But it is a powerful person who can be ranked in the top few.
Fernando frowned slightly, thinking about the answers to these questions, but found that he was at a loss. Then, he found that Douglas exuded an unspeakable aura, and he was no longer as gentle and amiable as usual or when he was obsessed and focused on the problem. In a trance, more majestic, more solemn!
Douglas’s voice became louder and he continued his speech majesticly: “Are earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements? If so, in what form and by what law do they form this wonderful world? If not, then are they the basic elements? What? What magical elements should there be?"
"What is the nature of the soul?"
"Are souls and consciousness different? If not, in what form does consciousness exist?"
"Do we need 'tools' to illustrate and help model magic?"
"Does God exist? If so, what is His essence and form of existence? What is the form of existence of the ancestor of the vampire, Etna, and why can he not die?"
"Why does this world have the sun and the silver moon, why do they rise and set every day, and what force keeps them running like this? If we ask more questions about the seemingly normal things in the material world, we will find that We still don’t understand the truth, whether these principles, laws and knowledge are related to magic, can they be combined with magic, and can they help us explore the essence of the magic world?”
As he asked questions one by one, whether it was the strong man on the stage or the magician in the audience, his expressions gradually changed, from disdain for being funny to concentrating on thinking. Then it was difficult to hide the expressions of astonishment, excitement and excitement, especially the last question about the rising of the sun and the silver moon, it was like a bolt of lightning struck them. It made them tremble all over, with an indescribable feeling.
yes. Why is this so
Why hadn't I thought about these questions before
What secrets are hidden in these phenomena that seem to be the laws and nature of the world that do not need to be questioned
Fernando clenched his fists tightly, his bright red pupils were full of excitement, he looked at Douglas's back, and felt for the first time that this guy was really taller!
Similar questions have actually flashed across every magician's research, but they, who are used to these phenomena, never regard them as things that need to be paid attention to, and never "ask" in such a deep way. Listening to Douglas' deafening speech at this time, they all felt that the fog in front of them was pierced by the sunlight. It turned out that our research on magic and this world is still so superficial! There are still so many "whys" left unanswered!
They only felt that their eyes suddenly became clear, as if a new door had opened. The new field of magic is vaguely presented, which makes more and more people tremble and show contemplative expressions. Even Owen, who was full of resentment towards Douglas before, feels that the other party is no longer hideous, and feels that "why" is full of extremes Charm!
One question after another popped up in his mind. What is lightning? Why can't metal block but wood can? Why do humans have gender distinctions? Why can't people just float in mid-air, but stand firmly on the ground
Erica covered her mouth with her hands, deeply thinking that Mr. Douglas surpassed Mr. Fernando and became the number one hero in her mind! It turns out that magic research outside of combat can also be so attractive and shocking!
"What is up. What is down, what is the sky, what is the earth..." Fernando muttered to himself, feeling that the things that he thought he had studied or understood thoroughly before and the phenomena that were commonplace became full of doubts.
Douglas put his right hand on his forehead and bowed slightly: "As long as we can study these issues clearly, I believe that the development of magic will become rapid, and our penetrating mysteries will definitely act on us and strengthen us. Perhaps, our development will not be faster than Church slow!"
After he retreated, the hall was still extremely quiet. After a full minute passed, there was a sudden burst of extremely warm applause, which had never appeared before the leaders of the major organizations gave their speeches!
Douglas could clearly see that the expressions of the magicians below were excited and excited, even a little crazy, diluting the despair and depression that could be felt everywhere before. Regarding this, he secretly sighed. , Systematically and perfectly expounding one's point of view, and asking questions that have been pondered for a long time. When I was in Antifleur, even my teachers and classmates were unwilling to listen to myself talking about this content, let alone other people. up.
The effect seems to be not bad... Douglas is also a mortal, and a hint of joy quietly appeared in his heart.
Magicians such as Owen and Erica felt that the surrounding darkness was beginning to fade. They were desperate and depressed before because they thought that magic had developed to the extreme, but the result was still not comparable to divine magic or the church, so they could not see hope , can't see the light, and now, Mr. Douglas's question has opened up a vast and boundless world, and the development of magic has just started, and it is far from reaching its limit! The future is not hopeless!
The speeches of Arnold and others pinned their hopes on external forces such as the silver moon, the blood clan, and the giant dragon, which can be regarded as boosting morale, but how can the future be more inspiring in their own grasp
However, can these problems really be studied
After the excitement, worries and doubts began to flood the magician's heart, which could be seen from his expression. Douglas was not surprised by this. He never thought that a speech alone could unite everyone. It was a dream!
The meeting ended in such an atmosphere. Archmages such as Amana Tower, Congers, Nelson, and Priscilla all had subtle changes in the way they looked at Douglas.
Douglas stood up with a smile, and first said to Arnold: "Mr. President, I want to participate in the mission of assassinating Alfonso. After that, I hope to stay in Allinge for a while."
