The next day, the girl arrived as promised, and the magic class began.
"As you know, the so-called magic is produced by mystery. It is generally believed that there are two types of mystery, one is the reality of the world, and the other is born due to fantasy. But this This view is actually wrong, because the mystery born of fantasy is actually part of the reality of the world, and without permission from the reality of the world, nothing can be achieved by relying on fantasy alone.¡±
"So what is the mystery?" the girl asked her question.
"In layman's terms, mystery is the reality of a part of the world that we don't know. When the unknown becomes known, the mystery no longer exists. That's why magicians don't like to teach their secrets to others, or even let ordinary people know about them. They don¡¯t want to, that¡¯s why, the more people know about it, the weaker the magic becomes.¡±
"But doesn't the reality of the known world also give people strength?"
"In fact, it does bring power to mankind. The name of this power is science. There is a saying among magicians that all magic is actually using something that we can already do. A more complex and laborious method is required to complete it. After all, it is an unknown reality, which is still less cost-effective than the known reality."
"So why do people still use magic?"
"Take teleportation as an example. The time it takes to prepare a teleportation spell is enough for you to walk back and forth between your current location and the target location ten times. However, the advantage of magic is that - you can Prepare a teleportation ritual in advance and use it when you want to use it, but you can't save up the time and energy for ten round trips and then use it instantly at a certain moment, or at least not now."
"That means magic is more flexible?"
"At least that's the case for now. Please note that it can't be done now, because we don't know whether technology will be able to do the same thing one day in the future. Of course, personal preference is okay. After all, it is said that time and space can be distorted. Well."
"Then what is magic?"
"Magic can be said to be the top mystery, or it can be said to have no mystery at all. The key is that the source of magic's power is the root of the world, which is the reality of the world, whether it is known or unknown. Even if one day science can allow people to travel through Time and the power of time and space travel remain unchangeable; even if one day science can directly change the world and instantly change it into another possible world, or cross world lines, the power of parallel interference cannot change. At most, it can only be controlled by A driving method similar to magic is transformed into a driving method more similar to science, or in fact, compared to magic, magic is strictly closer to science."
"So that means it's possible for magicians to be born from scientists?"
"Unfortunately, this is impossible, because since science has made everything known, it means that even if one day science can do what magic can do, it does not mean that the person who does it will become a Magicians, because many people who want to do it can do it using the same method. The emergence of multiple magicians who master the same magic is actually the same as - none of them are magicians. The power of magic lies in Although it has not become weaker after being converted to known, it will lose the status of magic because it is no longer regarded as a top mystery. Or from another perspective, if science develops to its extreme, then human beings will It will be restored to a level comparable to the 'Age of the Gods', because at that time mystery existed as common sense rather than as mystery. There was magic everywhere, so there was no such thing as magic."
"oh."
"Speaking of magic, there are some interesting things."
"What?"
"Actually, not all people who use magic are magicians."
"What's the meaning?"
¡°For example, let¡¯s take a person named Xuanwu Gaoyue.¡±
"Who is this guy?"
"A magician who was 'sealed and designated' and then escaped."
"Seal designation??"
"The Magic Association uses the seals of certain magicians as reference models for future generations to practice. Those who are sealed will not be able to engage in any form of practice in the future."
"Thisis so unreasonable"
"This unreasonable rogue system is the so-called 'sealing designation', so this person escaped."
"Then what is his magic?"
¡°One language.¡±
¡°Unified language??¡±
"Legend"??, the oldest human beings used the same language. Human beings using the same language threatened the existence of God and tried to establish the existence of the Tower of Babel. God shattered the Tower of Babel, and then in order to prevent humans from threatening The existence of God has distorted human language and turned it into this. "
¡°Then this language doesn¡¯t sound anything special!¡±
"In the Age of Gods, mysterious phenomena were not mysterious, but were treated as common sense. In modern terms, it is the world of swords and magic! Mysterious phenomena that are impossible to occur in modern times are not difficult technologies in the Age of Gods. That is Why? Many magicians concluded that due to the conflict between the rotation of the earth and the position of the moon and the cycle of the planet at that time, the world was filled with aura. However, Godoword - Xuanwu Satsuki overturned this theory. He It proves that the Age of Gods was superior not only to the world, but also to the language itself. Legend has it that God confused language, so - what was the situation before that? Yes, humans use the same language to communicate. So everything is common 'Meaning explanation' becomes possible. If it really becomes possible, it is invisible language. It is not the language that people talk to, but the language that becomes the dialogue between people and the world and can determine meaning. Whether it is No one can resist what is said in this language, because denying it is tantamount to denying one's own existence in the world. This is the so-called "verbal absolute", and what he says will become true. Named godoword This guy is the most powerful hypnotist in the world."
"It's sohorribleIsn't it easy to destroy the world"
"No, it's not that simple. He is just 'using' magic, rather than 'controlling' magic like a magician. And he is not the only one who 'uses' magic like this. The will of the earth, Gaia, and the will of mankind Alaya, and even the ultimateone on other planets - the only living beings - all 'use' magic in this way, and the types of magic they can use have more different effects. If someone uses magic to destroy As for the world, they are fully capable of using magic to offset this effect."
"What is the difference between 'using' magic and 'controlling' magic?"
"In fact, there is no difference in terms of results. The only difference is a door, a door leading to the source. It is very similar to the difference between magic and science. It is like crossing from 'unknown' to 'known'. In fact, If Xuanwu Satsuki didn't have any knowledge of the mysteries before acquiring the ability to 'magic', he wouldn't be just a magician."
¡°But aren¡¯t there only five magics at the moment??¡±
"Strictly speaking, it's not that there are only five 'magics', but that there are currently only five magics that possess or have possessed 'magicians'. In fact, assuming that we can project things without using magic, it will be a magic, even The name already exists, it¡¯s called Utopia Manifestation, and to put it another way, the existence of such things as Utopia Heroic Spirits and the existence of fantasy species are actually produced by a sufficient number of admiration, which is proof of the existence of the magic of Utopia Manifestation; The legendary creation weapons, although they have not actually created the world, not even part of the world, they all have some special abilities, and these abilities are undoubtedly magic; the legendary sword of King Arthur Sheath Avalon has the ability to protect even magic, which cannot be penetrated. The essence of this ability is undoubtedly magic. In fact, in the Age of Gods, magic is this kind of thing that travels everywhere, and the gods of the Age of Gods all use magic. Moreover, a considerable number of magicians in the Age of Gods were magic users. Although they were not magicians, if all the magic used by these people were included, there would be hundreds or thousands of magics, not to mention five. Maybe even tens of thousands.¡±
¡°Wait a minute!! Don¡¯t speak so fast, I can¡¯t keep up!!¡±
"Ah, sorry."
Then I said it again.
"What is a fantasy species?"
"Simply speaking, it is life that arises from the fantasy of people, or beings. Dragons, Pegasus, fairies, phoenixes, demons, angels, etc. are all typical fantasy species. The current popular theory believes that the strongest fantasy species They are dragons, but I don¡¯t think so. Of course, don¡¯t tell anyone. I personally think that the gods of the Age of Gods are also fantasy species. If you think about it this way, the strongest fantasy species should be gods.¡±
¡°Using one type of magic to create a user of another type of magic??¡±
"If magic is indeed the highest mystery and a power directly connected to the source, this should be possible. Moreover, maybe each of us is 'using' magic, and a considerable part of the magic has already been integrated into it. Technology, if you think about it this way, aren't we always 'using' magic?? If we put a palmIf the person who controls all modern technology is left at the end of the Age of Gods, there is no doubt that he is a magician. Then, the mystery of creating life is the same as creating life that uses magic. Only a being that creates magic that controls something beyond its own control is beyond its capabilities. "
"But the power"
¡°If the nuclear weapons of all major countries were added together, they would be enough to turn the earth into a lifeless place. It¡¯s just because this theory is known and there are many people who have mastered it, so we don¡¯t call it that. It¡¯s just called technology for the sake of magic.¡±
"Is magic the highest, or is it just ordinary?"
"If we just look at the power, whether it is magic, magic, or technology, if the world does not resist it, it can cause serious damage to the world. The difference is only in the nature."
"Then the world is not on the verge of destruction at any time?"
"This is also the ingenious thing about this world. Whether it is magic, magic or technology, it ultimately comes from the power of the source. In terms of nature, each of them is terrible, but when there are multiple ones that can be used like this When there are individuals with terrible power, they will be restrained by each other, making it difficult for anyone to do whatever they want with their own power, because the consequence of doing so is to be terminated by a possible individual with the same level of power."
"It's really profound"
"There are some things that I can't understand. No, it should be said that I can't understand most things. However, this world is beautiful, isn't it?"
