Chapter Three Three Four: The Learned Man
Zaratul is a learned man. His erudition is not only reflected in his magical attainments, but also in his profound understanding of natural sciences. Because of this, he has been designated the title of "Erudition" by the academic community. He has no doubt
is talented,
But his body limited his mobility. With only two magic patterns, he had to rely on his own outstanding students to conduct most profound magic experiments. Because of this, he founded the [Natural History Society], which is well-known in the academic world.
school.
Zaratul is very strict in the selection of students. The total amount of magic power the body can carry is one aspect, but what he values more is the students' sensitivity in thinking, their curiosity about all things, and their enthusiasm for new things.
Acceptance. He does not think ignorance is a very shameful thing. People will always be ignorant.
Sometimes, Zaratul obviously didn't know anything about anything, but he was not depressed about it. Instead, he looked at everything in front of him with a sense of longing. He hoped that his students could explore the ultimate end of the world with him.
Mysteries, the limits of humanity and magic, and all the rest of the unknown in the world.
His appearance was a shock to the entire Yaris, and to all aspects of society. All of his students were excellent, and his influence on people was shown in the streets and alleys. Even the recent new magic communication device is a member of Zaratul
Invented by students.
Sheldon was an excellent student of Zaratul. When interviewing him, the learned man asked him: What is the most correct adventure you have taken in your life? Sheldon replied
: His most correct adventure was to carve one of his magic patterns on a chestnut tree branch. Zaratul continued to ask with interest: Why? You
What was the result of the experiment? Sheldon's performance was beyond his expectation: He put his hand deep into his chest pocket and took out a clean wand. He sent a trace of magic from his fingertips,
Injected into the wand in his hand, the wand immediately emits a hazy golden light. This kind of magic pattern is the same as the reaction engraved on the human body!
Sheldon was accepted as a student by Zaratul and further conducted more in-depth research on his childhood "adventure". Their final research result was that anyone with powerful magic can grant objective individual magic, even magic patterns.
——Sheldon’s research team discovered that by fine-tuning the manipulation of magic
In this way, the magic power in his body can be retained in other animals and plants. Sheldon did not put his other three magic lines into it, but he was able to carve some "temporary" magic lines on other objects.
Calling it a magic pattern is actually not accurate. It should be said that it is a delayed triggering spell.
They first used stones as test carriers, followed by plants, and later experimental animals. As for human experiments, because most people are engraved with magic patterns, everyone's magic power has its own innate characteristics.
If magic of different phases is allowed to enter a person's body, rejection will obviously occur. Team
The following assumptions were made: If a temporary magic pattern is to be engraved on a person's body, either the person being imprinted cannot accept any magic power, or the engraved magic power should be non-attribute magic power. Non-attribute magic power is not so easy to extract.
Yes, it is said that the method of using non-attributed magic is only taught within the Merlin Cult.
Zaratul's extremely distinctive personal temperament has long given rise to the spirit of inquiry among his students, each of whom has his own learning style. But at this point, Sheldon has encountered a bottleneck. He hopes to be able to accept the use of non-attribute magic power.
Knowledge, so that he can continue his academic research. And this erudite old man is protective of his shortcomings and has a strong desire to control in disguise.
During a dispute, Sheldon decided to leave Zaratul's school and join the Merlin Cult. The reason he prevented Sheldon from entering the Merlin Cult was that he believed that the content studied by the Merlin Cult had no factual basis and would not be feasible with current technology.
The level is completely unable to touch the origin of human beings and glimpse into
Exploring the traces of Didamo, the God of Creation. Even if he learns how to use non-attributed magic, his future research direction will be changed by the Merlin Cult. The more critical point is that Zaratul does not want Sheldon to be involved in the Merlin Cult.
And lose their name and cover up their true nature.
Although the power of the World Tree is unparalleled, Zaratul also conducted careful research on it secretly, and came to an astonishing conclusion: the power controlled by Lux is time, and the connotation of time is not only the past, present and future
; The existence of time is multi-dimensional. Assuming that "this now" is a time and space, then "another now" is another time and space. For the sealing of the name
The seal is very likely to erase or transfer the mark of the name in this time and space - that is to say, his personality, memory or human nature will also be affected by the power of the World Tree! He knows very well that human beings
There is a limit to the power that can be achieved. Directly touching the power of the World Tree is tantamount to touching the power of God. The idea of reaching the sky in one step is very stupid and dangerous...
Moreover, Zaratul did not know the true purpose of founding the Merlin Sect... The origin of this sect is unknown, and the number of people is extremely small, but it can still survive during the existence of Yaris. This is
This is a very ridiculous thing! From a selfish point of view, Zaratul always does not want his students to go elsewhere and become their subordinates... He has never heard that after entering the Merlin Cult,
There is also a precedent for withdrawing.
All in all, Zaratul is opposed to Sheldon's departure. But he has never restricted the personal freedom of anyone in his school. The human heart cannot be restrained, so what restrains a person's heart?
The body has no meaning anymore.
Sheldon left after leaving the last letter. Zaratul did not open it when he saw the letter. There was no resentment in his heart, only sadness. A day later, he walked out of this sadness and opened it.
I opened this letter. The content of the letter is probably as follows: Mr. Zaratul is the most profound teacher he has ever encountered in his life. This time he went to Merlin to teach against his wishes, and he sincerely apologizes for this.
.At the end of the letter, he saw a line of handwriting written forcefully in black ink: I will be back.
Seven years passed. Zaratul suffered a serious illness in the fourth year. He was already in his seventies and his health was not particularly good, so he stopped accepting disciples and only gave some basic lectures in the academy.
Activities. In the remaining time, he not only had to do research on new subjects - he didn't have that much energy, so he had to leave it to the students - but he also had to write books and rehabilitate.
Fortunately, in the past few years, Zaratul's body was still strong. From time to time, he would think of Sheldon and turn over the damp paper again. The ink on the rough paper had blurred several times. In recent years,
There were quite a few major events that happened, especially the conflict between the Merlin Cult and the Brotherhood, which made him worry about Sheldon's safety.
Seven years after Sheldon left, Zaratul received the news that he had left the Merlin Cult for the first time, and tried every means to find out where he lived, and personally sent him a letter. It took a long time for the other party to write a reply to him,
But this shows that the other party is still alive and has not... and has not forgotten himself. This is a good thing! He has not gone back immediately, which shows that there is something unspeakable and Zaratul himself will not put pressure on him.
Recently, Zaratul received another letter, which was the second letter sent to him by Sheldon about half a year ago. The letter said that he would secretly visit him recently about a child. This is
It was the first time that one of his students came to him to talk about children...
He obviously no longer accepts apprentices... However, Sheldon's request to him is not just to accept apprentices, but to raise them. But reading between the lines, this request has a sense of tragedy: He
