Chapter 731 Secrets
When he entered the Dragon Ball world for the second time, Duran made a wish to convert his energy at will, turning his energy into chakra, chakra into magic power, and magic power into spiritual power, without restraint. Therefore, he had no trouble using embodied magic and easily created the magic wand in his brain.
A super powerful wand that combines the three elements of magic, time and object, "I named it the 'Elder Wand', a new wand that surpasses all wands, a wand that can use real magic." Duran did not demonstrate but instead used the Elder Wand. Put it on the table: "This wand does not have any magic blessing. Any scientist who has mastered the microscopic world can make it. This is the power of science. Although the current technology cannot create such a wand, the development of science and technology will succeed sooner or later, and you Magicians still use methods from thousands of years ago, and I am afraid they will still be surpassed by technology. "
"..." Without answering her own question, Laura Stewart frowned: "Maybe you are right, but don't you think the technology you mentioned is different from the technology in this world?" Laura looked at it. Holding the wand on the table: "Guest from another world, your wand and "Super Power GO" are far beyond the technological level of the earth, and your understanding of magic is not bad. I am very curious about the world you are from. Is it more about technology or magic?"
Dulan glanced at Laura. This girl was really discerning and wise. If she was not a preacher, but a king, maybe Dulan would be willing to help her and let her build a small or medium-sized city. kingdom. It's a pity that she is a preacher and is destined to only focus on faith and not care about the living standards of believers.
"The different world you understand is not a real different world, it is just a different space in the same universe." Duran said: "And I do not come from a fixed world. I am a time and space traveler. I have experienced many different worlds. There are worlds, both scientific and magical.”
Du Lan finally admitted his origin, and Laura was no longer surprised, but full of curiosity. Their magicians can glean bits and pieces of other worlds from the magic books of other worlds, but there has never been any record of magicians going to other worlds in person. "Is there any difference between another world and this one?"
"It's no different. Human beings fight each other, technology and technology, magic and magic, technology and magic, or use other energy means. It's basically the same as this world." Duran said: "Are you curious?"
"Yes." Laura did not deny it at all: "But what I am curious about is the place where magic originated, the mystery of the origin of magic."
It is estimated that the emergence of magic is a coincidence. I happened to discover that placing objects in this way can activate the power of the stars. I happened to discover magic. Then after countless years of attempts, similar to Shen Nong's attempt to taste a hundred herbs, with the efforts of different races in different spaces, magic was developed. to where it is now. And all humans do is pick up people's wisdom.
Of course, it is also possible that some races in other worlds communicate with the world, understand the laws of nature, and develop magic. Then they are the gods of magic.
"Oh? You seem to have a different view on what you often say, 'Magic is for the untalented to catch up with the talented.'" Duran did not expect that Laura would want to explore the origin of magic.
"Mr. Duran, you must have a deep misunderstanding of our magician religion. Although we magicians did have deep conflicts with religion in the Middle Ages, do you think those ignorant people can defeat us magicians?" In fact, it was only from the Middle Ages that our magic world began to develop vigorously, because it was not only magicians who were sent to the cross, but also talented people who were born with super powers.”
Dulan frowned. Although he had been in this world for decades, he had been learning the magic of other worlds and training Touma, so he didn't know much about the secrets of the magic world.
People who are born with super powers should be called "rough stones", that is, unpolished gems, and there are only a few dozen in the world. The more than one million students with superpowers in Academy City are all inspired by technological means. They are artificial superpowers and are talents given by nature.
In the Middle Ages, there was no science, and there were no students with artificial superpowers. Only those with natural superpowers were burned.
How the magic world controls religion is a secret that can only be passed down orally from generation to generation by religious leaders and will not be recorded in any history. Laura Stewart didn't mind telling Duran everything today.
It turns out that in the Middle Ages, magicians were much easier to deal with than people with superpowers. Magicians also needed to use external objects to manipulate magic circles. Ordinary people could use their brains to trick magicians. However, superpowers, especially some unreasonable superpowers, can release terrifying power without any help. Even if they are tied up, they cannot withstand the power of superpowers.
So ordinary people began to seek the help of magicians, allowing magicians to deal with those born with superpowers. Gradually, the magician got very close to religion, but the super power of the original stone put the magician to shame. In order to pursue the power of a superpower, the distressed magician began to yearn for the specious myths or legends promoted by religion. It seems that if they can master the power of myths and legends, they can surpass superpowers.
From then on, magicians have a tradition that if they want to become stronger, they must have faith. What they believe in is not God in the first place, but they plant the idea in their brains that "faith can make them surpass talented people". They are for the sake of faith. Faith is not about giving faith, but about recycling faith. Gradually, faith became the origin of magic, and it became the belief that only those with "super talent" can use magic.
But no one actually knows the true origin, because magic existed long before there was religion or faith in ancient times, and even before humans appeared.
But because modern magicians all agree with the magic traditions that originated in the Middle Ages, and the ancient religious groups have been almost eroded by magicians, in modern society, magicians are almost inseparable from Christianity. Although there are some different magician sects, they are generally attached to the three major religions.
This secret is really speechless. It turns out that this is why the magic world controls religion. But it seems that magicians and scientists are really similar. When they are helpless, they will pin their hopes on religion to seek development directions.
Although the magicians finally turned the tables, because of a lot of magic research, they gained more and more knowledge from the other world, and the magicians found that the gods of religion were not high above and untouchable, so the original religion declined.
"Different paths lead to the same destination. That's what I mean by different paths lead to the same destination." Duran said with a smile, "Both magicians and scientists started out by aiming for God, but you magicians were a thousand years ahead of scientists. As expected, humans are creatures that will never stop, and will not stop just because they meet a strong person. No, on the contrary, the strong are the driving force for human progress." Of course, he didn't say that war is also the driving force for human progress. The battle between magicians and superpowers continues to this day.
At first, the magicians were born with superpowers, which made them feel inferior. They even had a longing for the incomprehensible existence of "raw stones" and parasitic religions in the hope of finding the power to defeat "raw stones".
Now magicians have made great progress for a thousand years and have surpassed "raw stones".
In modern society, with the great development of science, it is the turn of superpowers to develop. "Raw stones" are difficult to produce, and their scarcity is no match for magicians, so superpowers began to cultivate artificial superpowers, trying to compete with the magic world again.
