Chapter 2943 Legendary Title
"Legendary?"
Zheng Qing seemed to have heard this word for the first time.
"This is a concept belonging to high-level wizards: a wizard is passed down by word of mouth because of his amazing magical experience. This is our most simple understanding of legend."
Mr. explained the deep meaning of this word to Zheng Qing very patiently, just like a professor in the classroom: "- Just as condensed faith can ignite the divine fire and lift a low-level wizard into a higher-level realm, the ancient high-level wizards discovered in their exploration that with the spread of legendary names, their connection with the long river of fate will become clearer. We know that the connection between a wizard and the world can be roughly divided into three parts-his material existence, his cognition of truth, and his connection with fate-among them, the analysis of matter and consciousness runs through the entire history of magic exploration, and even low-level wizards can deeply understand the true meaning. Only the relationship between wizards and fate is very complicated, very, very complicated."
He used three "very"s in a row, and then paused, as if thinking about how to explain it in a popular way so that Zheng Qing can understand.
But this is very difficult.
"——In theory, 'matter' is the basis of wizards' existence; 'consciousness' is the concept of wizards' existence; and 'connection' is the sum of all the relationships between wizards and the world beyond the basic concepts."
After giving a lengthy and obscure definition, the gentleman changed the subject: "In a sense, you can equate the relationship between wizards and fate with 'cause and effect'. As the saying goes, 'all laws are generated or destroyed according to the law of cause and effect', even matter and consciousness cannot escape this rut.
And the essence of legend is to transcend fate.
Fate is like a big net, covering wizards from head to toe, binding us tightly In the river. If you want to transcend fate, you have to cut off this big net. Of course, in the legendary stage, only some limited connections can be cut off, allowing the wizard to escape from the surface of the long river of fate and stand on a small reef to look into the distance.
In short, the clearer the connection between the wizard and fate, the easier it is to see the mesh and joints of the big net and cut it off without hurting our connection with the truth - this is very important, because when you cut off the connection with fate, you are also cutting off your connection with the world, and the latter is the basis for your cognition of this world... Do you understand? "
Zheng Qing blinked.
Nodded hesitantly and slowly.
I vaguely understood, but I dare not say I fully understood. He felt as if he had taken a very substantial high-level magic philosophy class, the kind that required a lot of notes.
The gentleman laughed and said, "--It doesn't matter. In fact, these principles are very simple. You will understand them more or less if you take Taiyi out for a walk in the future."
"Does the legendary degree refer to the degree of spread of legendary reputation?" Zheng Qing did not forget where this conversation started, and tried to keep up with the gentleman's rhythm in his own way: "... It sounds a bit like reputation?"
"You can roughly understand it this way."
"What kind of things can be called 'legend'?"
"Many, the most classic ones, such as 'Dragon Slayer', which is a name that many wizards have; for example, 'The Pious' among the Ascetics 'Saints', etc., are titles whose personal virtues are widely recognized; titles such as 'Jizi' and 'Morning Star' are titles passed down from generation to generation; there are titles known for their territories, such as 'Guardian of the Silver Moon', 'Mother of Emerald', 'Lord of the Misty Waves', etc.; there are titles known for their clans, such as 'Mother of Spiders', 'Prince Dracula', 'Lord of Talbot', etc.; there are also legendary titles obtained for deeds or styles of doing things, such as 'Magneto', 'Mad Titan', 'Doctor Strange', 'Wonderful Witch', 'Strange Flower', 'Blood Dao Man', etc. ... Any questions?" The gentleman noticed the young wizard's timidly raised arm.
"Well, are there any legends I know?" Zheng Qing grunted, pointing out the window with a small movement: "I mean, for example, those in our school or outside..."
"Not only legendary wizards have legendary status." The teacher first corrected a misunderstanding that the boy seemed to have fallen into, and gave an example: "Do you remember the four sea sirens under the command of the Sea King?"
"Mist, whirlpool, iceberg, sea god!" Zheng Qing answered without thinking - since the battle of the Black Prison, he has seriously studied these common sense.
"——The legendary degree of these sea monsters is not worse than that of many legendary wizards."
Mr. nodded slightly and added: "Many great wizards will publicize their names in advance and accumulate legendary degree, so that one day they can smoothly advance after seeing a glimpse of opportunity...'Dark Beast' Leviathan and 'Hundred-armed Giant' Kotos are such examples. In addition, if you participate in the official hunting competitions of 'Zeus Cup' or 'College Cup', you should notice that many hunters have a loud 'nickname', such as 'Flamingo' or something like that. These nicknames are not just to avoid curses."
Hearing this, Zheng Qing suddenly had an ominous sign in his heart, and he immediately forgot the question he was about to ask about the legendary titles of several senior professors in the school.
"What about bad titles?"
When asking, two words flashed through his mind, and he slightly emphasized his tone: "I mean, if the wizard himself doesn't like the title... will this title fall on him because many people spread it?"
"Legend is a third-party concept."
A faint smile appeared on the gentleman's face, and he obviously knew what the boy was concerned about: "It measures whether a wizard is 'legendary' enough, and does not consider the attributes of the legendary title... For example, there are many wizards who set foot in the stars. Legendary titles, such as Nikolas's 'Black Goat of the Forest that Breeds Thousands of Descendants', Naiko's 'Creeping Chaos', and Yug's 'The One Who Unifies All Things', many of their legendary stories and titles are not so Sounds good.”
Zheng Qing's face turned pale.
He made up his mind that after today, he must do something to prevent himself from continuing to be associated with those two words.
Licking his dry lips.
The young wizard brought his thoughts back to the starting point little by little, and remembered the question that confused him when he was first born: "——You just said that my legend level is higher than that of Senior Sister Kolma. What do you mean?"
"That's the literal meaning. Compared to Korma, for many students at First University, your legendary attributes are obviously higher... You know, people in the wizarding world don't care about the North District of Beta Town or the magicians. Far less than the number of people who care about what dress Su Shijun wears when going out today. "
Zheng Qing's hanging heart finally died.
