Throne of Magical Arcana

When the magicians were immersed in and reminiscing about the glory of the past, Douglas' voice became more solemn: "The glorious victory made the ancient legendary magicians more persistent in their pursuit of power. Until the Sect of Truth grew stronger, the three major magic empires were destroyed in just a few hundred years, and the glory of the past has become the bitterness, bewilderment and despair of today."

The glory of the past was suddenly shattered, and the cruel reality returned coldly. Magicians from different organizations such as Owen and Erica seemed to be poured cold water on their heads. Although they were mentally prepared, they still felt depressed, sighed, and sad. Emotions, guessing that Douglas and Arnold and other great mages have the same intentions, using the glorious past and tragic reality as a contrast to arouse every magician's hope for unity, strength, and future.

"However, the church is really too powerful, and there are really angels descending!"

"The cycle for the magicians to become stronger has not been lengthened, but it seems too long compared to the clergy..."

"Is the alliance really useful? The target is big, but it is easy to be targeted and wiped out! It may be safer to disperse and hide!"

"Only by ensuring survival first, can we find a way to cooperate with extraordinary creatures, study them, and break through the limit of magic development..."

All kinds of thoughts came pouring in, brewing in the minds of the seemingly silent mages. Even the leaders of major organizations such as Nelson and Prisher sitting on the stage had similar emotions.

Although they are working hard to develop their own organizations, seek opportunities for survival, and carry out preliminary cooperation for a bright future, whoever says that they are confident in this, and whoever says that there is no panic in their hearts, is absolutely lying of!

The reason why they are able to move forward with relative enthusiasm and confidence is because there is no other way. When there is no choice, people will always be more determined.

Of course, turning to the church and becoming a night watchman is also a way out, but for the leaders of these organizations, they are really unwilling to give up on themselves before the dust of the western war settles and become a dog of the church. Maybe Al Can Tuo really hold on? And if Aalto also fell, and most of the legendary masters died, it seemed that it would not be of much value whether he surrendered or not.

Arnold had the same thoughts as them, and nodded in satisfaction with Douglas's speech, while Fernando muttered to himself, just to talk nonsense?

Douglas lowered his right hand and used gestures to strengthen his tone: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, it's time to be quiet, don't be confused by power, it's time to calm down and think about some issues." ——In Ancient Magic In the empire, there is only the "gender" of magician, and there is no custom of venerable and lady, so when giving speeches, the order of Mr. and Mrs. is always.

Forehead? What are you thinking about?

The magicians, including Congers and other powerhouses, were stunned for a moment, thinking about the issue of union? He is so aggressive! But what does this have to do with being confused by power? Is it emphasizing unity over strength? What a joke, everyone here is united, not enough for a "Heart of Time" to slash!

Just as they were wondering, Douglas' voice suddenly became louder and resounded throughout the hall:

"We need to figure out:"

"What is the essence of magic?"

"Why do creatures have spiritual power?"

"What is the essence of spiritual power?"

"What form does it exist in?"

ah?

Even Fernando looked at Douglas with his mouth half open. What's the problem?

Regarding the nature of magic, ancient magicians have always thought about it, so Congers and other powerhouses were not too surprised, but isn't spiritual power innate? Doesn't everyone have it, only the difference between strength and weakness? Isn't it a unique expression of the soul? What are these latter questions?

When they heard it for the first time, they only thought it was ridiculous. If a middle-level and low-level mage asked this question, they would definitely interrupt each other roughly, but now the speaker is an archmage, an archmage who knows how to stop time. This is the most powerful force when you can't hide it!

So they listened patiently, and gradually realized to their astonishment that they couldn't answer these questions! Moreover, after careful consideration, it seems that these problems really need to be studied!

The middle and high-level magicians such as Erica below looked at each other amusedly. If they could think about these essential problems, they would have already become legendary magicians. Do you still need Mr. Douglas to remind?

But this series of questions also shocked them a little. They subconsciously straightened their backs, looked at Douglas intently, and listened to his speech. But it is a powerful person who can be ranked in the top few.

Fernando frowned slightly, thinking about the answers to these questions, but found that he was at a loss. Then, he found that Douglas exuded an unspeakable aura, and he was no longer as gentle and amiable as usual or when he was obsessed and focused on the problem. In a trance, more majestic, more solemn!

Douglas's voice became louder and louder, and he continued his speech majesticly:

"Are earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements? If so, in what form and by what rules do they form this wonderful world? If not, what are they? What magical elements should there be?"

"What is the nature of the soul?"

"Are souls and consciousness different? If not, in what form does consciousness exist?"

"Do we need 'tools' to illustrate and help model magic?"

"Does God exist? If so, what is His essence and form of existence? What is the form of existence of the ancestor of the vampire, Etna, and why can he not die?"

"Why does this world have the sun and the silver moon, why do they rise and set every day, and what force keeps them running like this? If we ask more questions about the seemingly normal things in the material world, we will find that We still don't understand the truth, whether these principles, laws and knowledge are related to magic, can they be combined with magic, and can they help us explore the essence of the magical world?"

As he asked questions one by one, whether it was the strong man on the stage or the magician off the stage, their expressions gradually changed, from disdainful and funny to concentrating on thinking, and then to expressions of bewilderment, excitement and excitement. Especially the question about the rising of the sun and the setting of the silver moon at the end, it was like a bolt of lightning struck them, making them tremble all over, with an indescribable feeling.

Yeah, why is that so?

Why hadn't I thought about these questions before?

What secrets are hidden in these phenomena that seem to be the laws and nature of the world that do not need to be questioned?

Fernando clenched his fists tightly, his bright red pupils were full of excitement, he looked at Douglas's back, and felt for the first time that this guy was really taller!

Similar questions have actually flashed across every magician's research, but they, who are used to these phenomena, never regard them as things that need to be paid attention to, and have never "asked" so deeply. Listen now Douglas's deafening speech, they all have the feeling that the fog in front of them is pierced by the sunlight. It turns out that our research on magic and this world is still so superficial! There are still so many "whys" left unanswered!

They only felt that a new door was opened, and a new field of magic was vaguely presented. This made more and more people tremble and show contemplative expressions, even Owen, who was full of resentment towards Douglas before. I also feel that the other party is no longer hideous, and I feel that "why" is full of extreme charm!

One question after another emerged in his mind, what is lightning? Why can't metal block but wood can? Why do humans have gender distinctions? Why can't people just float in mid-air, but stand firmly on the ground?

Erica covered her mouth with her hands, deeply thinking that Mr. Douglas surpassed Mr. Fernando and became the number one hero in her mind! It turns out that magic research outside of combat can also be so attractive and shocking!

"What is up, what is down, what is high altitude, what is the earth..." Fernando muttered to himself, suddenly feeling that the things that he thought he had studied or understood thoroughly before and the phenomena that were commonplace became full of doubts.

Douglas put his right hand on his forehead and bowed slightly: "As long as we can study these issues clearly, I believe that the development of magic will become rapid, and our penetrating mysteries will definitely act on us and strengthen us. Perhaps, our development will not be faster than Church slow!"

After he retreated, the hall was still extremely quiet. After a full minute passed, there was a sudden burst of extremely warm applause, which had never appeared before the leaders of the major organizations gave their speeches!

Douglas could clearly see that the expressions of the magicians below were excited and excited, even a little crazy, diluting the despair and depression that could be felt everywhere before. Regarding this, he secretly sighed. , Systematically and perfectly expounding one's point of view, and asking questions that have been pondered for a long time. When I was in Antifleur, even my teachers and classmates were unwilling to listen to myself talking about this content, let alone other people. up.

The effect seems to be not bad...Douglas is also a mortal, and a hint of joy quietly appeared in his heart.

Magicians such as Owen and Erica felt that the darkness around them was beginning to fade. They were desperate and depressed before because they thought that magic had developed to the extreme, but the result was still not comparable to divine magic or the church, so they could not see hope , can't see the light, and now, Mr. Douglas's question has opened up a vast and boundless world, and the development of magic has just started, and it is far from reaching its limit! The future is not hopeless!

The speeches of Arnold and others pinned their hopes on external forces such as the silver moon, the blood clan, and the giant dragon, which can be regarded as boosting morale, but how can the future be more inspiring in their own grasp?

However, can these problems really be studied?

After the excitement, worries and doubts began to flood the magician's heart, which could be seen from his expression. Douglas was not surprised by this. He never thought that a speech alone could unite everyone. It was a dream!

The meeting ended in such an atmosphere. Archmages such as Amana Tower, Congers, Nelson, and Priscilla all had subtle changes in the way they looked at Douglas.

Douglas stood up with a smile, and first said to Arnold: "Mr. President, I want to participate in the mission of assassinating Alfonso. After that, I hope to stay in Allinge for a while."
