Chapter 395：

"Because...because..." Jaina thought for a while, and finally came up with the answer, "Because if there are many wizards that can do this, there won't be so many like Prince Garlin, who thinks that the wizards are all Weak people exist."

Jaina's words made Ye Ting laugh. This little girl really held a grudge. Prince Garlin's depreciation of Ye Ting personally angered her, but she still remembers this. Of course, it can also be seen from here. Anna's respect and love to Ye Ting.

Regarding Jaina's previous question, Ye Ting did not give a direct question, but raised 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 answers," Ye Ting looked at her seriously, "you only need to talk about your first impression of magic."

"Understood," Jaina nodded seriously, and then fell into thinking. It seems that this stronger girl wants to give Ye Ting an answer that satisfies him even so.

For 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 energy. Magic is the way to manipulate arcane energy. Am I right, teacher? "

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

"What you said is right, 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 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 sighed with relief: "For this question, different mages have different ideas, and my answer is that magic is a miracle. It is a mortal who uses his own thinking to manipulate the rules. , The technology to transform the world, and the so-called arcane energy is just one of the means."

"Is arcane just one of the methods?" Jaina frowned. This answer was very different from her understanding of magic. According to Gina's words and other information about Dalaran, all wizards respected arcane energy. Arcane and magic are equivalent.

Only the person in front of him didn't seem to attach much importance to arcane arts.

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

For Jaina, a girl who came from a noble family and only knew a little about magic, Ye Ting’s cosmology confuses her, so that she is the one who knows her well, even Dalaran is the best. It's impossible for the archmage to know completely.

However, Ye Ting always believed that the teaching of magic should be taught at the most basic level, because this is related to the establishment of a mage's knowledge of the entire world. If the foundation is not well laid, the future achievements of a talented mage will be limited.

It was because of his experience of 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 was starting to learn magic, so that he could continue to improve in his subsequent studies. .

Now, while Jaina's worldview was not established, he taught her some theories that would 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 opposes each other: the first pair is the light and the shadow. The former is the power used by the priests, and the latter is controlled by many believers who believe in evil gods; the second pair is the power used by priests. It is life and death. The Loa warriors that I defeated in the war against the trolls have mastered the power of life. The power of nature also belongs to this. The spokesperson of the power of death is the legendary undead and ghosts. "

Speaking of this, he obviously saw the little girl fight a cold war.

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

"The four major elements are fire, wind, earth, and water. They are also the basis of the material world, but in fact, there is still this fifth power. This power is also called the fifth element in alchemy-that It is the soul. The power of the soul exists in the living beings, and the opposite is withering."

This complicated cosmology is undoubtedly a huge impact for Jaina, who is just starting to learn magic, but she is also worthy of being a gifted child with high intelligence. Seeing that she listens carefully, regardless of whether she understands or not, at least Remember this knowledge.

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

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

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

"Eh heh, no." The praised girl smiled embarrassedly.

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

Ye Ting smiled, disregarding it, and continued his teaching.

"Maybe the holy light can heal wounds and resist damage, but the light will only make people more religious and fanatical; perhaps the power of shadows 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 evil energy of chaos is powerful, it is extremely addictive, and it relies on drawing the vitality of other creatures-only arcane energy can make people return to calmness, Focus, only its users can keep their heart."

"So that's it," Jaina said thoughtfully, "So, in order to keep her mind unaffected, did you choose Arcane?"

Item 0517

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

"So, Jaina, why do you want to be a mage?"

This question makes the girl feel strange, because she has already mentioned this topic and given the answer just now.

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

"To dominate my life."

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

"A more ambitious ideal?"

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

"So what kind of ideal is enough? To be 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, somewhat disapproving.

"All people pursue power only to satisfy the deeper desires in their hearts. Warriors pursue power to make contributions on the battlefield, in order to gain nih glory and power; those trolls pursue power to satisfy their bloodthirsty. The customs and fanatical beliefs; the mages pursue wisdom, of course, from a certain point of view, this is also a kind of power, they delve into the truth of the world, seek ways to control the world, or detach themselves. What about you? You want What do you do to gain power?"

"So...Is it a big enough ideal to be a great existence like those Loa gods or giant dragons?" Jaina thought of certain existences that Ye Ting had mentioned, and asked boldly.

"God Loa? Giant dragon?" Ye Ting's words were replaced by a dumb smile: "Those poor bugs are just empty of powerful power. The former are essentially just more powerful beasts, while the latter are possessing power and strength. After wisdom, you still maintain the original social and living habits. Do you want to be that kind of thing? I don't think you want to."

The implication was that he didn't even pay attention to God Loa and the dragon.

Jaina stopped talking.

She finally understood that the thought and power of her teacher far exceeded her level, as well as the level of most wizards in Dalaran.

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

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

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Before you fully understood the profession of the mage, it was like you asked this question. Then, do you know the difference between a mage and other spellcasters, and other powerful existences? "

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

"There are not only wizards in the world who can use extraordinary powers, but wizards have their own great places. Speaking of spellcasters, those priests, shamans of other races, and warlocks among the orcs can use different spells, just Even the **** Loa and the dragon can use extraordinary powers, but the mage is different from them.

Priest envoys have the power of the Holy Light, but they need to pray for power from the Holy Light first; shamans can use the power of the elements, but they also need to pray for power from the spirit of the elements; the warlocks can control the fel energy, but they are also destroyed by the fel energy Full of sex; as for the **** Loa, the dragon and other creatures who are born with extraordinary powers, they are just superficially using their instincts to manipulate power...other than that, they can't do anything.

Only our mages are the real controllers and researchers of power. We control power rather than being controlled by power. We study truth and take them further... I mentioned so many different powers in cosmology before. I don’t want to tell you that only arcane magic is suitable for us, but I want to tell you that as long as possible, any power is within the control of the wizard. The key is whether you can control it. Don’t be restricted by arcane magic. For the Master, everything is allowed. "

Ye Ting's words made Jaina feel suddenly enlightened, understood the meaning of the mage, and 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, this kind of ideal is more meaningful." Ye Ting nodded with satisfaction, "You are a very assertive girl with a strong enough heart. I know you have such characteristics, so I hope this ideal can Let you persevere in the face of difficulties in the future, the path of a mage is not that simple."
