Chapter 989: Visiting Group of the White Tower of Heaven (Part 1)
Fangzheng had long thought about contacting the Kingdom of Sorcerers.
Because the situation in the main world is different from other worlds.
According to the situation in many online articles, the protagonist usually gets things from another world, and he can't wait to hide them for a lifetime so that no one will know about them, or he can do it himself to gradually reveal those things in this world. There are many concerns, such as fear of being abused and threatened, or fear of losing your trump card, or being found by others as a different kind of person.
But mages in the main world don't have so many worries.
The reason is simple, they are used to it.
In the main world, many high-level mages will take a plane trip when they have nothing to do. They use magic to go to the astral world, and then travel from the astral world to various planes. From time to time, they will bring back some belonging to other planes. share the civilizational creations or knowledge of the surface.
It's just that in many cases, the characteristics of other planes are too unique, and the things brought back have no reference value for the mages of the main world. But some are also very useful, such as the anti-gravity circle used by mages to create magic warships, which was brought back by a mage from other worlds hundreds of years ago and improved for the civilization of the main world.
That's why Fang Zheng deliberately brought these things back from other worlds and gave them to the White Tower.
It's really because Fangzheng doesn't need to worry about the issues that the protagonists in other web articles need to worry about.
Afraid that the spread of technology will cause the civilization of the main world to become more violent and dangerous?
Hehe, the legendary mages of the main world can destroy a country with a flip of their hands, without radiation pollution, which is much higher than nuclear bombs, why are you worried about this? Anyway, the nuclear bomb nested in the silo will not move away, you, a mage, who knows where you will go if you use the teleportation spell casually.
Worried about things being exposed and being treated as heterogeneous?
However, it is a pity that world travel in the main world is not the protagonist's privilege. Most mages—especially high-ranking mages, legendary mages like to wander through the astral planes to find the source of knowledge or the truth of the universe. , even if the mage of the White Tower discovers Fangzheng's "traveling" ability, he will at most marvel a few words, and then do what he should do.
What's more, there are so many races in the main world, and there are so many races in the outer plane. Angels, devils, mind flayers, elves, dwarves, frost giants, which one is not a different kind?
Mind flayers also eat human brains, why don't you take a bite?
You don't even dare to eat your brains, so you have the nerve to worry about being regarded as a different kind?
Of course, there is another main reason for Fangzheng to do this, that is, the current main world is already in the early stage of the magic industrial revolution, and he doesn't mind letting these mages learn more about knowledge from other worlds to speed up their own civilization level.
Although magic and technology have different emphases, the development of civilization itself is a process of trial and error, and even if they are different, the goals of development are the same anyway. Taking motivation as an example, the main world will certainly not be stupid enough to do it again. The engine of the technological world, magic energy is much simpler and easier to use than electricity. But even so, those mechanical design and manufacturing products can also give these mages some inspiration and let them generate more ideas.
Just like Jules Verne once wrote "From the Earth to the Moon", Verne at that time could only think of using a super large-caliber cannon to launch the man in the shell to the moon. In the eyes of later generations, this is obviously a bit ridiculous, but the basis for Verne to write these is that human beings first realized that they live on a round planet, and the moon is another one closest to them. planet...
In the Middle Ages, although there were cannons, who would have thought of using cannons to hit the moon? Because they don't have this knowledge base!
As for whether this knowledge is applicable, Fang Zheng is not worried.
Although he often complains that this is unscientific and that is unscientific, but that is just complaining. Materialism is not at all not believing in ghosts and ghosts, but an objective understanding of the world. Simply put, the more you know, the easier it is to understand and understand the world objectively.
For example, the resurrection of the dead would definitely be associated with various feudal superstitions in the Middle Ages. However, if modern people saw it, the first thought would definitely be the T virus. Of course, the T virus itself is just nonsense, but at least the modern People will first think that this is some kind of virus or biological effect, instead of immediately thinking that it is the resurrection of the dead or the possession of the dead.
Why? Because there is no evidence for this.
On Earth, we don't really see ghosts, capture ghosts, observe ghosts, dissect ghosts, understand ghosts, so it is considered non-existent. Because you have no evidence of their existence other than a few hearsay urban ghost stories, so they don't exist, which is a very simple reason.
The same goes for gods and devils.
Perhaps one day, according to the development of our science, we can observe creatures in other dimensions, and perhaps discover the "souls" that really live in other dimensions, and then just change the textbook. Materialism is not a religious belief. If you hold a little bit of unrepentance, you are a fanatical crusader, not a qualified materialist.
On the other hand, it is normal to have devils and undead in the main world, why? Because we can see devils and undead with our own eyes, catch them, even dissect them, analyze them, know them, and even fight them, so their existence is normal and reasonable.
This is very scientific and materialistic.
It can even be said that the mages in the main world are the most "materialistic" group of people, perhaps even more "materialistic" than the educated modern people on earth. After all, once many people on earth see something beyond their common sense, they will first The reaction is that they can't understand and accept it. However, for mages, they have seen all kinds of weird things, even if they are rare, they can understand and accept their existence.
This is also one of the reasons why Fangzheng will send these things to the White Tower with confidence.
As for the second reason...it's very simple, he wants to improve the civilization level of the main world as soon as possible.
Although the message from the goddess of order that was discovered above the satellite was vague, there is one condition that is obvious—that is, the civilization of the main world must first have the level of civilization that can break through the atmosphere and conduct interstellar travel. Eligible to receive a message from the Goddess of Order.
And this can only show one thing—the dangers outside the starry sky are far beyond this, and being able to travel between stars is the minimum necessary condition.
If the civilization level of the main world is not raised as soon as possible, is it impossible for Fang Zheng to be the savior alone?
Knowledge can be used to supplement the lack of foundation, but industrialization is still the most important thing, so Fangzheng dug up various power systems and machinery from his own free world, and gave them to the White Tower, even including an F22 and Typhoon fighters, as well as high-precision lathes and various processing instruments.
Of course, Fangzheng didn't care at all what the "owners" of these items would think. If he got in a hurry, he would send them home for the New Year. His amoeba was still waiting for the opportunity to show its talents.
Hollywood likes to save the world so much, Fangzheng also has plenty of opportunities for them.
Anyway, the so-called "world" in Hollywood has nothing to do with Founder's country.
The White Tower, which had benefited, of course responded quickly, and soon, a team was quickly organized, and then took the magic warship and sailed towards the Golden Bay.
Sitting on the sofa, Mary looked at the people around her, feeling somewhat awkward with each other.
Facts have proved that, as Douglas said, the White Tower is quite "concerned" about Fang Zheng, as can be seen from the composition of the team they sent. Representatives from the eight major factions of Evocation, Prophecy, Conjuration, Enchantment, Illusion, Necromancy, Defense, and Transformation gathered here.
Moreover, they were all people familiar to Mary.
Sitting on the sofa on the other side, dressed like a noble lady, the girl with blond curly hair is Emma Delian, the representative of the illusion department. In the White Tower, the illusion department has always been exaggerated and unique. Quite outstanding, and Delian in front of people feels as eye-catching as a peacock with its tail open...
But narcissism is also a characteristic of illusion masters, otherwise, why would they learn illusion?
In fact, Emma is indeed a young lady, which is actually rare in the White Tower, because although magic is indeed amazing, it is also very boring.
This is actually the same as those scientists on the earth. Everyone feels very handsome watching them invent and create, but just look at how many experiments and records they have to complete in the laboratory and on the computer every day. It’s another story to say that they are as tired as dead dogs. . Of course, some academic masters definitely enjoy it, but for most people, if they study number theory and conjectures for a year, it may be boring and they may want to jump off a building.
Most of the mages in the White Tower have very average family conditions. They are all eager to change their fate and future by learning magic, so even if learning magic is very boring, they can grit their teeth and endure it.
For those noble heirs with superior family conditions, learning magic is not as attractive as imagined, but there are exceptions.
Either someone is really interested in it and likes it very much, or he is so talented that he can learn something that others may not be able to master after a few years.
No setbacks, no failures, smooth sailing and joy from beginning to end, this kind of thing most people dare not even think about, but some people are geniuses, what can you do?
And Emma Delian is such a genius.
She first came into contact with magic when she saw the illusion released by the illusionist at the family's ball... Most of the illusionists' daily work is basically to add luster to the gathering of the nobles, or to add special effects to the performance.
To put it bluntly, many illusionists are no different from special effects artists.
Attracted by the colorful and beautiful illusions created by illusionists, Emma also began to enter the White Tower and joined the illusion school to start learning.
At that time, many people thought that this eldest lady might not be able to endure much hardship, and she would not even be able to survive her apprenticeship. In the end, the reality surprised them—this talented girl has almost been promoted to the level of a five-ring mage, and is currently marching towards the sixth ring.
If she can really master the six-ring spell, then she can be regarded as the backbone of the White Tower.
However, even now, many mage apprentices who entered the White Tower at the same time as her are still lingering in the ranks of low-level mages in the first, second, and third rings...
From a certain point of view, this is indeed annoying enough.
However, when Mary looked at her carefully, she saw that Miss Delian put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at the people around her with a smile.
"Everyone, it's boring to sit like this, why don't we talk?"
"What do you want to talk about?"
Hearing what Delian said, Mary frowned and asked. And Delian smiled slightly, looking at everyone thoughtfully.
"Well... We all know why we were sent out, so don't hide it, why don't you all tell me what Mr. Fang Zheng thinks?"
