Chapter 395

"Because...because..." Jaina pondered for a while, and finally came to the answer, "because if there were many mages who could do this, there wouldn't be so many like Prince Garin who felt that mages were all the same. Weak people exist."

Jaina's words made Ye Ting laugh. This little girl is really holding a grudge. Prince Jialin's demeaning words of Ye Ting angered her, but she still remembers this now - of course, you can also see Ji Ji from this side. Anna's love and respect for Ye Ting.

Regarding Jaina's previous question, Ye Ting did not give a direct question, but threw another question.

"Jaina, do you know what magic is?"

"What... is magic?" Jaina looked at her teacher blankly.

"I don't ask you to give any formal answer," Ye Ting looked at her seriously, "You just need to talk about your first impression of magic."

"Understood," Jaina nodded earnestly, and then fell into thinking, it seemed that even this strong girl wanted to give Ye Ting an answer that would satisfy him.

After a moment, Jaina said, "Magic is the manipulation of arcane energy, Aunt Gina told me that the world we live in is full of this kind of energy, and magic is the way to manipulate arcane energy, am I right, teacher? "

After speaking, she looked at Ye Ting expectantly, waiting for his evaluation.

"You're right, it's not right," Ye Ting said, looking at the girl's slightly disappointed eyes, he explained, "The so-called manipulation of arcane energy is just the appearance of magic, the so-called magic has never been so simple. s things."

"So, what exactly is magic?" Jaina looked at Ye Ting with curiosity and devotion to the truth.

Ye Ting raised his head, looked at the sky outside the window, and said with a long sigh of relief: "For this question, different mages will have different ideas, and my answer is that magic is a miracle, and mortals use their own thinking to pry the rules. , the technology to transform the world, and the so-called arcane energy is just one of the means."

"Is arcane magic just one of the means?" Jaina frowned. This answer was very different from what she knew about magic. According to Gina's words and other information about Dalaran, all mages respected arcane energy and put the Arcane and magic are the same.

Only the people in front of me don't seem to pay that much attention to arcane magic.

Seeing the girl's doubts, Ye Ting continued: "Actually, the most rooted energy in this world is not only arcane. Generally speaking, there are actually six powers and four basic elements that make up this universe. And two opposing special forces."

For a girl like Jaina who came from a noble family and only knew a little about magic, Ye Ting's cosmology confused her, not to mention her, even Dalaran's top notch knowledge. It is impossible for the archmage to fully know.

However, Ye Ting has always believed that the teaching of magic should be taught at the most basic level, because it is related to the establishment of a mage's understanding of the whole world.

It is because of his experience in the Sea of ​​Chaos and his understanding of various worlds that he did not limit himself to the magic theory of the Harry Potter world when he first learned magic, so that he can continue to improve in his subsequent studies. .

Now, he is taking advantage of the fact that Jaina's worldview has not yet been established, teaching her some theories that will be regarded as fallacies and heresies by most mages in this world.

"The three most fundamental pairs of power in this world, each of which is opposed to each other: the first pair is the Holy Light and the Shadow, the former is the power used by priests, and the latter is mastered by many believers who believe in evil gods; the second pair is It is life and death. The Loa warriors I defeated in the war against the trolls have the power of life. The power of nature also belongs to this, and the spokesmen of the power of death are those legendary undead and ghosts. "

Speaking of this, he clearly saw the little girl fighting a cold war.

"The last pair of powers are the arcane and fel energy that we are familiar with. Arcane energy represents order and is most easily controlled by precise and focused thinking, while fel energy represents chaos, and its biggest spokesperson is the devil."

"The four elements are fire, wind, earth, and water, and they are also the foundation of the material world, but in fact, there is also this fifth force, which is also called the fifth element in alchemy - that It is the soul, and the power of the soul is in the soul, and the opposite of it is withering."

This complex cosmology is undoubtedly a huge shock to Jaina, who has just started learning magic, but she is also worthy of being a gifted and high-IQ child. Seeing how she listens carefully, whether she understands it or not, at least Remember this knowledge.

Ye Ting glanced at the girl with satisfaction, and suddenly asked, "You know, why does the mage choose arcane magic as his energy for casting spells?"

"Because... Arcane represents order?" Little Lolita replied tentatively after thinking about it: "Because order best fits our thinking?"

"It seems that you are quite spiritual." Ye Ting stroked the girl's smooth hair and praised.

"Hey, no." The girl who was praised smiled embarrassedly.

But the next moment, she suddenly avoided Ye Ting's palm and said dissatisfiedly, "Bad teacher, they said not to touch people's heads!"

Ye Ting smiled, didn't take it seriously, and continued his teaching.

"Maybe the holy light can heal wounds and resist damage, but the light will only make people more devout and fanatic; perhaps the power of shadow is destructive, but

It will only make people more evil and depraved; the power of life makes people yearn for life and nature, and the power of death makes people fall into hatred and nothingness; although the chaotic fel is powerful, it is highly addictive and depends on drawing other The life force of living things - only arcane energy can restore calmness and concentration, and only its users can keep their hearts. "

"I see," Jaina said thoughtfully. "So, in order to keep the mind unaffected, did you choose arcane spells?"

Chapter 0517 A genius female mage developed from scratch

Regarding the girl's conclusion, Ye Ting did not express his opinion, but suddenly asked another question.

"Then, Jaina, why did you become a mage?"

This question made the girl feel strange, because she had already mentioned this topic and gave the answer just now.

However, since it was the teacher's question, the girl honestly repeated the answer.

"To dominate your own life."

"Dominate your own life? Is it so simple?" Ye Ting waved his hand and frowned, "Thinking about it, my apprentice shouldn't have only such a simple ambition, you should have more lofty ideals to be worthy of becoming a student. my student."

"Greater ideals?"

"Yes, only loftier ideals can drive us to progress, right?" Ye Ting said.

"So what kind of ideal is enough? To become a Mage as powerful as you?" Jaina thought for a while and asked tentatively.

"Power? For us, power is just a tool. If we live for the pure pursuit of power, we might as well die." Ye Ting shook his head, disapprovingly.

"All people seek power only to satisfy the deeper desires in their hearts. Warriors seek power in order to make achievements on the battlefield in order to achieve nihilistic glory and power; those trolls seek power to satisfy their bloodthirsty. The customs and fanatical beliefs; the wizards pursue wisdom, of course, in a certain sense, this is also a power, they delve into the truth of the world, seek to control the world, or to detach themselves. How about you? You want Gain power to do what?"

"So... to be a great being like those gods or dragons, is it a lofty ideal?" Jaina thought of some of the beings Ye Ting had mentioned before, and asked boldly.

"Loa God? Giant dragon?" Her words were exchanged for Ye Ting's dumb laugh: "Those poor bastards just have powerful powers, the former are just stronger beasts in essence, while the latter have power and strength. Wisdom still maintains primitive society and living habits, what do you want to be? I don’t think you want to.”

The implication is that he doesn't even care about God Loa and the dragon.

Jaina stopped talking.

She finally understood that her teacher's mind and power were far beyond her level, and beyond that of most mages in Dalaran.

The huge gap between world view and vision determines the distance between him and them.

Seeing Jaina react like this, Ye Ting sighed and suddenly laughed.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, you asked such a question before you fully understood the profession of mage, so, do you know the difference between mage and other spellcasters, and other powerful beings? "

Without waiting for Jaina to answer, he continued talking to himself.

"There are not only mages in the world who can use extraordinary powers, but mages have their own greatness. When it comes to spellcasters, those priests, alien shamans, those warlocks among orcs can use different spells, just Even loa and dragons can use extraordinary powers, but mages are different from them all.

Priests use the power of the light, but they need to ask the light for power first; shamans can use the power of the elements, but they also need to ask the spirit of the elements for power; sorcerers can control fel power, but also destroy it because of it Full of sex; as for the loa and dragons and other creatures born with extraordinary powers, they are nothing more than superficial manipulation of power by instinct...other than that they can do nothing.

Only we mages are the true masters and researchers of power, we control power rather than being controlled by power, we study truths and take them further... Earlier I mentioned so many different powers in cosmology, I don't want to tell you that only the arcane is suitable for us, but I want to tell you that as long as possible, any power is within the control of the mage. The key is whether you can control it. Don't be limited by the arcane. For a wizard, everything is permissible. "

Ye Ting's words made Jaina feel suddenly enlightened, she understood the meaning of a mage, and also made her future path relatively clear.

"I understand." Jaina looked at the young teacher excitedly and announced loudly, "Then, my goal is to make the world change according to my thoughts!"

"Yes, such an ideal is much more meaningful." Ye Ting nodded with satisfaction, "You are a very assertive girl with a firm heart. I know you have such qualities, so I hope this ideal can be realized. Let you persevere in the face of difficulties in the future, the path of the mage is not so simple."
