Chapter 142 Questions and Answers

Ladi asked: "So, how do you decide to deal with me now?"

Paul touched his chin and looked at the female consultant, "Dispose? Why use such a cold word?"

The female consultant smiled bitterly: "Tie up and burn witches, isn't that what the church always advocates?"

Paul stood up all of a sudden, "You saved the lives of a large group of us. I am not an ungrateful person. I will never burn you to death."

Ladi's heart was slightly relieved, and she was glad that she made the right choice.

"Thank you, Earl Graman."

"This is what I should do. Do you remember our conversation under the moon when you first came to Lake Town? What did I say at that time - an animal, as long as it looks like a donkey, walks like a donkey, and sounds like a donkey, then it is a donkey - ah, sorry, I was just making an analogy at the time."

He suddenly thought that the beautiful woman sitting in front of him was a witch, and it seemed inappropriate to use a donkey as a metaphor.

"Puff!" The female consultant laughed out loud, "This analogy is really refreshing."

Paul and Austin looked at each other, and the distance between them and the female consultant seemed to disappear.

"In short, I hope we live in an enlightened era. We will keep your identity confidential for the time being, and hope that you can continue to live and work here as a consultant to the Administrative Council as before."

"Aren't you afraid of the consequences you may have if the church finds out?"

"According to my investigation, there is no explicit law that stipulates that witches must be handed over to the church or burned to death after being discovered. The previous cases almost all relied on the "consciousness" of the people and those in power, although this "consciousness" was caused by their own ignorance and the church's deception and coercion."

Paul remembered that when he first made the musket, Dean Leonard and Father Anderson came to investigate his suspicion of witchcraft. At that time, he was frightened by the Inquisition they mentioned.

Lady was surprised. Count Graman's tone contained a hint of disdain for the church.

Paul continued, "However, in view of what happened this time, I must have a comprehensive understanding of the mysterious group of wizards or mages. I hope you can answer some of my questions truthfully."

"Of course, Lord Graman, I will tell you everything I know, but I don't want to reveal the information of other mages."

"I won't let you betray your companions, so I'll start asking."

Paul gave her a reassuring look and then asked questions.

"Most people call you wizards, but you said that you prefer to call yourself a mage. The pronunciations of the two are very similar. What's the difference?"

"There is no difference. These two names refer to the same type of people. It's just that the church likes to use the word "wizard" when demonizing us. Over time, this word has a derogatory meaning. When it spread widely among the people, it inevitably affected us. After all, most mages come from the people, so we prefer to call ourselves "mages" to cut off the evil and corrupt image in the hearts of the public."

"How did you get or pass on these strange abilities, uh... that is, [magic]?"

"After a person becomes a real mage, , he is qualified to accept apprentices. If he has this intention, he will look for qualified children among the people and teach them the knowledge of magic. People who have just come into contact with magic can only be called apprentices. Only when his ability is recognized by the mentor can he be qualified to be called a wizard. "

"How did you become a wizard?"

"I met my mentor when I was 6 years old. She taught me the knowledge of the arcane. Sorry, this is all I can say about my mentor."

"Okay, then when you are looking for apprentices, will they or their parents mind your identity? After all, the image of wizards among the people..."

"In view of the poor image of wizards in folk legends, we will first have a long conversation with the target. We need to get in touch with each other and get to know each other. We will reveal our identities when the time is right. If the other party is interested, we will accept him as an apprentice. Some wizards will spend their entire lives looking for successors. But there are also a few evil wizards who use dishonorable means to coerce and seduce others to become apprentices. There are also ordinary people who take the initiative to find, contact and learn magic for some special purposes. "

"Special purpose?"

"Wealth, power, hatred, etc."

"What kind of magic do you have?"

"There are spells for direct attacks, such as the "fireball" that people think wizards can use, and spells that confuse people's minds, which can make people hallucinate or subconsciously obey the wizard's orders, but the conditions for casting such spells are extremely harsh. There are also spells that can Spells that can enhance human capabilities, such as the wizard in this incident, who made himself extremely powerful and invulnerable to swords and guns. "

"Enhance human capabilities? Infinite power?"

Austin on the side suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Can you make drugs with magical effects?"

Lady nodded and confirmed: "Some wizards who are also proficient in alchemy can make potions. How strong the effect can be depends on the level of the wizard."

Paul and Austin said that the wizard who blocked the road this time said that Garden was his subordinate. In this way, the matter was clear. The mysterious drugs taken by the pirates were provided by this wizard. The rapid rise of the Garden Pirates was inseparable from the support of this wizard.

"How strong can you be? How many ordinary people can a magician deal with?"

There is no mistake in the article. Check it out in the 6-9 book forum!

"My lord, this cannot be explained in detail. Magic is not only used for fighting. Many mages can even be said to have no fighting power. If you are talking about the kind of mages who specialize in fighting, a novice mage who has just debuted, if he does not know some targeted magic or does not master magic well, may also be killed by an ordinary person. However, as the spellcasting level improves and combat experience increases, he can gradually fight one against many. However, knights who have been trained since childhood and experienced veterans can also easily deal with a large number of ordinary people. In the final analysis, except for being able to cast mysterious magic, we are no different from ordinary people."

"The guy we met doesn't seem to think so, and his words are full of superiority."

Ladi was silent for a while, and said: "There are indeed some mages who think they are superior to ordinary people. But my lord, there are such people in every group. Excuse me, don't almost all nobles think that their blood is more noble than that of ordinary people?"

"Hmm!" Austin cleared his throat and reminded her that this sentence was too much.

Paul was not angry, but said embarrassedly: "Well... not all nobles think so. What level is this guy we met among the magicians who specialize in combat?"

Ladi frowned slightly and said: "Very strong, he should be the mage with the strongest close combat ability among the mages I know. However, if I hadn't been inconvenient these days... I wouldn't be so embarrassed!"

Paul didn't hear her words clearly, "Huh? What's inconvenient?"

The female consultant blushed slightly, "Nothing, sir, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Ah, there is nothing for now, I'll think of it later."

Paul came to her and said with a smile: "Miss Ladi, it seems that you have to have another identity-my mysticism consultant, I wonder what you think?"

Ladi looked up and stared into his eyes, as if exploring his heart.

After a long time, the female consultant responded softly: "I am very happy, my lord."
