Greetings, Mister Principal: Border
Reiner can understand why Lord Hohenheim fell into madness.
As a person who is at the forefront of magic research, he should have a strong belief in magic and the truth. Mr. Hohenheim believes that everything he does can promote the progress of magic and bring better things to people. Life.
But the memory of the world in the box tells Mr. Hohenheim that humans in the past have already maximized the application of magic. His current research is just a drop in the ocean. At the same time, even such powerful humans can't It will enter destruction, and ultimately need to destroy its own planet to survive.
Mr. Hohenheim originally thought that the end of evolution was immortality, but the facts told him that the end of evolution was self-destruction.
Coupled with the shock of his daughter's death, Lord Hohenheim fell into madness. What he did at the last moment of maintaining his sanity was to hide the box and seal the memory.
If these things are made public, the development of magic will come to a standstill, and mages will doubt the meaning of their existence, and even lead to cognitive collapse.
This is a Pandora's box that has no substantial destructive power, but is enough to destroy the entire modern magic society.
But Reiner did not suffer from cognitive breakdown.
There were mixed feelings in his thoughts. On the one hand, the scene he just saw through the memory of the world deeply shocked Reiner. He once read a sentence that highly advanced technology is no different from magic. This sentence Vice versa, the society of the previous era was quite similar to the technological society that Reiner had been exposed to.
Whether it is the magical world or the technological world, if you master endless energy, you can create a brilliant civilization and expand your territory. However, at the same time, if mentally immature humans master abilities beyond their own level, it will also cause Self-destruction.
Perhaps before this era, this kind of thing has been repeated hundreds of times. It is even possible that such apocalyptic apocalypse has been passed down many times. When each era reaches its extreme, people think that they have transcended. He broke through the shackles of destruction and achieved higher achievements than the previous era, but he was still destroyed.
This is a dead end for survival. The more it develops, the easier it is to self-destruct. In the age of stones and branches, it would take a long period of war for humans to destroy themselves, but in the age of magic, it may only require an explosion.
This is the ruin of arrogance.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
In fact, when Reiner saw these scenes, he naturally felt a bit of arrogance in his heart. He had witnessed the civilizations of two worlds, and he thought he might be able to break the cycle of all this, but soon , Reiner calmed down.
He thought about some questions from the past and soon got the answers.
"Magic is a kind of high-purity energy. In the last era, people were able to make full use of magic and gained a brilliant civilization, but they were also destroyed because of it. The surviving people decided to seal this power, but They couldn't survive on this post-catastrophic land with nothing, so they devised a method that could use magic. This was the original magic!"
Ever since he first came into contact with magic, Reiner has always been confused. Why is it that magic can shape magic into various forms, but cannot directly use it? It must use this extremely inefficient method. You know, just rubbing it The magic power lost in a fireball is far greater than the magic power that actually causes the fireball to burn.
All magic, whether ancient magic or modern magic, essentially does not use magic power, but restricts it!
It is precisely for this reason that the failure of Dana's illumination spell will produce such powerful destructive power. Reiner only improved a few spell models and was able to cast a highly destructive spell like Queen Killer.
Because the various powers transformed by magic are actually powers weakened by the magic itself. The strongest spear is pure magic itself!
What Mr. Hohenheim sees in all this is despair, the despair that even if he has supreme power, he will still be destroyed, the despair that everything he does is just repeating the mistakes of his predecessors, so he fell into madness.
What Reiner saw was hope.
Countless inspirations intertwined in his mind. Reiner took a step forward, took a step closer to the box, and spoke.
"This shows that our current magic still has a lot of room for improvement. We have just taken a small step on the road to exploring this world!"
Hearing Reiner's words, Hohenheim raised his head slightly, with many complicated emotions mixed in his eyes. He looked at Reiner. For a moment, he felt that Reiner seemed to be arguing with someone who had persistently argued with him. Young people with magical qualities reunited.
"Your Excellency Hohenheim, what the mages have always been worried about is whether their exploration has reached an end and whether they have hit a wall. In the past, this wall was the four basic elements. The mages believed that the basic elements could no longer be divided. The world is built on these four basic elements."
Reiner said, his voice was low, as if he was telling a history.
"But the theory of basic elements was quickly broken. People discovered that there are even smaller particles under the basic elements. A series of discoveries continue to push the magicians forward. Up to now, we can analyze extremely tiny atomic nuclei. The situation inside."
All this he said was something that Hohenheim did not necessarily know. Reiner wanted to tell this former academic leader that in the past hundred years, mages have been making progress.
Humanity is always making progress.
"And now, we know that the application of magic is far more than that. Our exploration of the world has not reached the end, but has just begun. This is how lucky it is for mages to have no end."
Lord Hohenheim believes ~IndoMTL.com~ that the end of exploration is destruction, which is a kind of despair for mages, but Reiner believes that exploration that has not yet reached the end is the driving force for the progress of mages.
Although Reiner cannot explain where the feedback from the world comes from, and where the energy of magic comes from, he now knows that the development of magic has not reached the end, but has only just begun. Various past and present beliefs The impossible is eventually possible.
"What if we are on the path of destruction, what if it is difficult to escape the reincarnation of fate?"
Reiner said, his voice clearly audible as it echoed throughout the hall.
"Should we terminate our current exploration because of possible destruction?"
No one can answer.
