"However, there will always be people who are addicted to the powerful power of magic and cannot extricate themselves, and eventually they do not hesitate to make a deal with the devil. This behavior will soon become a contract with the devil with their own soul and become a certain demon. Agent on the mainland. In order to maintain the power he gained, this agent had to look for sacrifices everywhere in accordance with the provisions of the contract. Most of the sacrifices of the devil were related to the soul, so this agent slowly fell And become a powerful black magician."

"It is this desire for power that has allowed black magicians to appear for many years. The magicians of this faction have tried various ways to solve them. They even trained a kind of magic warrior as a The magician killer comes to assassinate the fallen magician! Since magicians can fall, how can the assassin as the magician killer never have problems?"

Victor sighed and said, "For some unknown reason, an instructor in charge of training assassins suddenly rebelled with several assassins. Of course, this is just the beginning of a disaster. In the next ten years, , This group of assassins killed more than 500 senior magicians, which changed the balance of power across the continent."

"Several empires that were originally balanced in strength have been assassinated by their magicians, leading to changes in their strengths. The empire with the least loss of magicians has become the most powerful country, so people no longer have any ambitions. Restrained, the war broke out."

"It was a tragedy, a tragedy in human history. This war has been going on for a hundred years. I don’t know how many civilians have lost their homes, loved ones, and even their lives. This is a huge price. In the back, there are just a few careerists who get so little psychological satisfaction while looking at their own country map. In fact, they will never go to the extra places, and their children and grandchildren will never go. "

"The source of this catastrophe was caused by the magician's pursuit of power regardless of the consequences. People of insight began to think, should humans learn magic, must they embark on this road of no return? Was it also out of this consideration that the gods only imparted magic to the elves? Perhaps human greed made the gods helpless?"

"When mankind was at its weakest, the Undead Army appeared. Mankind finally tasted the consequences of cannibalism. The empire that first provoked the war was the first to be submerged by the Undead Army. The elite of the Kingdom of Dianis The King’s Guard did not know how many troops were defeated and how many civilians were slaughtered in the Hundred Years of Catastrophe. They received retribution and were overwhelmed by skeleton warriors hundreds of times more than theirs."

"The appearance of the archmage Meren marks a turning point. Not only is the history of mankind continued, but also the problem that has plagued magicians for many years has been solved. Into the civilians! Magic can not only slaughter, it can also improve our lives, magic is everywhere, it will make our lives better! Under the guidance of the archmage Melen, a large number of civilians appeared on the mainland Magicians, they learn magic not to pursue power, but to think about how to make magic more useful for us humans."

"Some people created huge stone golems, and they played their part in the construction of Fernando City. Others created ships that can sail in the sea without manpower. This allowed the rapid development of ocean trade. Seawind City was in 200 years. It used to be just a small fishing village, but now it pays 10 million taxes to the empire in one year!"

"Some people have gathered a large number of magicians' power and used the magic circle to create a fortress that can float in the air. However, given that the fortress is too expensive to maintain flight, it usually falls on the ground. Its location It is a secret, no more than 10 people in the entire empire know."

"In short, the period when Fernando I was in power was a golden age in human history. In the military, mankind has won successively and obtained a huge living space; in diplomacy, humans, dwarves, and elves have concluded an unbreakable alliance and become In terms of magic, it solved the problem of the magician’s blind pursuit of power. It can be said that the archmage Meren created this golden age."

"However, after all, gaining power over others is the desire of everyone, because the nature of human nature is selfish. Therefore, the genre advocated by the archmage Melen and the previous genre of pursuit of power coexisted. Slowly there was a dispute."

"In order to encourage more people to learn magic, Archmage Melen meticulously designed a set of test rules. His original intention was to encourage everyone to work hard. Unexpectedly, after so many years of execution, it has become a restriction magic. Disadvantages of the growth of the teacher. For hundreds of years, the golden age of the year and the present are completely different periods, but the promotion of the magician is still in accordance with the standard 200 years ago, can there be no problems?"

Hearing Victor talked about the key part, Ryan couldn't help but ask: "Are the current promotion criteria different from before?"

A wry smile appeared on Victor's face. He said, "It's no different."

"No difference?" Ryan repeated Victor's words, puzzled.

Victor explained: "The promotion criteria 200 years ago are still being implemented. But over the years, the overall strength of human magic has been different. I checked the records of the Magic Guild, the year Fernando City was built. , The imperial capital magic guild promoted a total of 379 people through high-level magicians, and now there are less than 300 high-level magicians. Can this be compared with before?"

"This..." Ryan was speechless, and he and Falasi looked at each other, feeling very surprised.

Victor added: "In a catastrophe that year, the promotion of the magician grew in endless battles. If you don't work hard to improve your strength, you may not survive the next battle. What about now? Do magicians really put their minds on studying magic? The subsidy for magicians was set at that time to help civilian magicians buy materials for studying magic. For the magic circle sculpture I am good at, I make a fireball every day Shushu scrolls, the Mithril powder consumed in that month cost at least more than 20,000 gold coins. Without this subsidy, I would have been bankrupt. I can't hang all kinds of magic scrolls on the street and sell them, right?"

When Victor's words were heard, the corners of everyone's lips couldn't help but smile, and a scene of a magician wearing a tattered magic robe screaming in the crowded street came to mind.

Victor shook his head and said with a sigh: "In the past 200 years, the promotion standard has not changed, but the big allowance has been raised. Now an ordinary magician, as long as he has been promoted to a junior magician, each A month is 100 gold coins, which is equivalent to the living expenses of 50 civilians outside the Imperial Capital City for one month. As long as you don’t spend squanderingly, you can live easily in the Imperial Capital. Where is there any enterprising spirit?"
