Dark city

From top bottom

The class was housed in a large classroom with a capacity of three hundred, and in the center of the classroom was a high platform with a dozen large and comfortable seats, in stark contrast to the crowded seats on either side. As Richard walked into the classroom, he was led directly to the central platform. In an instant, hundreds of eyes fell on him, making little Richard feel uncomfortable. The students seated in the classroom ranged from children of seven or eight years old to old magicians in their eighties. This is a semi-public teaching, and any mage who has served Deep Blue for a year can come to the lecture. The central platform is a specially reserved area for Su Hailun's personal disciples. So when Richard sat down, he immediately became the focus of the audience. The eyes of longing, jealousy, and hatred filled their eyes.

In addition to Richard, there is a teenager and a young girl sitting in the central area. They were two or three years older than Richard, but they were already sixth- and fifth-level magicians, respectively. Su Helen accepted a total of twelve students, Richard was the thirteenth, and there were three others who were still studying in Deep Blue. The rest have already begun to travel to continents and even to different planes, and the best ones have begun to dominate the planes.

No sooner had Richard sat down than the main entrance to the classroom was pushed open and a stocky, balding magician entered. Popovich, a sixteenth-level great magician, his mana is not outstanding in the dark blue, and he can only barely be classified as a strong man on the entire continent. However, Popovich is not known for his magical ranks, but for his theoretical achievements in the world system.

Popovich was not good-looking, and even his big nose and round chin looked a little funny, but the classroom was full of people who were interested in going further in the wizarding world, and the opportunity to sit in the dark blue and listen to the lecture was not easy to come by, so the classroom was immediately quiet, waiting for the master to speak.

"The world of magic lies in reality. When you observe the world, what you see and hear is not the real thing, but the image of the world that is projected in your consciousness through your perception! This process is inevitable, and it may seem unimportant, but it is precisely because of this process that there is an indispensable gap between the world we perceive and the real world. So how do you reduce the error? It can only depend on your way of thinking! It can even be said that the way a magician thinks determines what kind of world he sees. "

After a pause, waiting for the bewildered or thoughtful apprentices and magicians to jot down what they had heard, Popovich continued, "In the coming time, I will not be able to teach you the mighty level 8 magic, let alone the 9th level magic, because I won't either!"

There was silence in the classroom, and there was no laugh Popovich had expected. Faced with this group of students with a good learning attitude, serious expressions and full of respect for the teacher, he could only touch his bald head helplessly and muttered: "A bunch of boring guys." Well, let's get straight to the point. I will teach you how to think, not to underestimate it, in fact, it is the cornerstone of everything that determines what you can ultimately achieve in the world of magic. The right way of thinking can bring what you see closer to the reality of the world, so that you can make the right decisions when it comes to important choices, and not make decisions that you will regret for the rest of your life like a fly without a head. The so-called important choices include both magic experiments and magic choices during combat. ”

"To sum up my system in one word, it's top-down. Remember that you have to know the world before you can know yourself. If, as one of the guys in this tower of magic claims, everything starts with self, you can only see a small part of the surroundings. This determines that you have a limited lifetime of achievement. How can a house finch be compared to an eagle?! So don't be like that guy, that way of thinking, it's just a steppe gopher! ”

After ten minutes of vicious lashing out at 'someone in this magic tower,' Popovich began his formal teaching.

"Primordial power is the foundation of everything. Our world is built on the primordial force, and gradually expands as the primordial force expands. The primordial power is so great that we haven't been able to harness it so far. We can think of the primordial force as a point of origin on which our world, and indeed the infinite number of worlds that may exist, hangs on it. ”

"Rules form the framework of our world, and countless planes are the flesh and blood of the world. Rules are higher than planes and are based on planes. Each plane is the embodiment of one or more rules. The more rules a plane can carry, the larger it will be, and the higher the plane will be in the world. And the perfect plane with plural rules, such as the plane where the Norland continent is located under our feet, is such a high-level plane, which we also call the main plane. ”

"At this point, you will understand that the rules and the plane are completely one. If you want to be strong, you have to follow the rules, not the other way around. If you break the rules, you will inevitably be punished, don't think that you can ignore the rules when you are strong. Unless you feel that you can stand against the entire plane, it is possible to change or even break the basic rules. And under the basic rules, there are also derivative sub-rules, which are the objects of your s*x! Attention, lust! The word f*********n means that you have no possible ideals in your life. Miracles will always exist, but don't expect them to happen to you! By now you should understand the importance of understanding the world, the strong will use and even challenge the derivative rules, and only a fool will fight the idea of the basic rules. ”

"The rules determine the basic characteristics and power systems of the planes, and it is possible for you to cross the planes to conquer at some unlikely date in the future. At that time, analysing the derivative rules and power systems of the plane was your highest priority. Only after this step will you be able to adjust your battle patterns and reallocate resources in order to make the most of the dimensional environment, rather than being limited by it. And in this process, there is one of the most important things, you know what it is? "

Popovich frothed at the mouth and soon became dry. After pouring a whole jar of magically pure water into his stomach, he roared viciously, "Dragon of Eternity and Time! "

The Dragons of Eternity and Time are almost supreme in the Norland continent, above many gods. Its power is incredible, requires no faith, and is unfathomable. The Dragon of Eternity and Time has its own temple, the Temple of the Eternal Dragon. The Temple of the Eternal Dragon is almost the most important location on the continent, as it is only here that one can communicate with the Dragon of Eternity and Time. The location and number of the Eternal Dragon Hall are fixed and cannot be changed, nor are they affected by changes in time and space.

Before the oldest records of racial civilizations, the Temple of the Eternal Dragon existed on the continent. The magical civilization of the Norland continent, regardless of race and location, is deeply influenced by the Eternal Dragon Temple. It is precisely because of its guidance that humanity has developed from a race that is too weak to survive on its fertility to a magical civilization that is not inferior to elves and dragon-blooded gnomes, and has built three empires with great power and vast territory. The other races are also deeply influenced by the Eternal Dragon Palace, and all the capitals of the six empires of the various races on the surface of the continent are all based on the ruins of the Eternal Dragon Temple that have been discovered.

"This old dragon is almost a rule-breaking being, and it has taken its own paw prints on countless planes! When you enter a new plane, the ultimate goal is to find the traces it has left in that world. It doesn't matter if it's a she-dragon, an egg, or whatever. Even if it's just a pile of dragon dung, as long as you find it, it can make you immediately understand the rules of the plane, so that you can become a real powerhouse in the plane! Compared to this old dragon, those so-called gods are just parasites on the rules. Those who control fewer rules are weak gods, and those who have more rules are powerful gods. You see, the world is so simple! "

"Top-down, top-down!" Popovich's face flushed with excitement, and the chaotic element of magic made people worry if he would die from the explosion of magic in the next moment. But his voice was getting higher and higher-pitched: "Origin, world, rules, plane, power, and then the individual, it's that simple!" When you learn the right way to think, you will find yourself standing on the horns of the dragon of eternity and time, looking down on countless planes! Those so-called Juggernauts and Paladins, the so-called legends, are nothing more than motes in the world system. Except, of course, the great Hon. Helen Sue, who is the boss and is a special !!"

Eventually, Popovich waved his short, thick fat hand and, with the rhythm and determination of beating a war drum, he uttered word for word: "Thinking is everything!"

Every word was like a hammer, striking Richard's consciousness, making him dizzy. This is not Popovich's deafening discourse, but he used a technique similar to mental shock, using the power of a sixteenth-level great magician to brutally suppress the consciousness of the students in order to strengthen the effect of teaching. By the time most of the classroom had recovered from the vertigo, the magic bell began to ring, and today's class was over.

"That's all for today, let's curse that guy in this magic tower together! It's time to get out of class! " Popovich picked up the thick magic book and directly used an eighth-level magic fixed-point teleportation technique to leave, fully demonstrating the great power of the sixteenth-level mage.

After returning to his quarters, Richard could not calm down for a long time, and he frantically read all the books assigned by Popovich, and it was almost dawn when he finished reading. Popovich opened a door for him to show him a corner of the world's secrets. It was the same feeling he had when he first opened the sacred scriptures in the attic of his home.
