Fangzheng had long thought of contacting the Nation of Magi.
This was because the situation in the main world was different from other worlds.
According to the situation in many web novels, when the protagonist obtained something from another world, he would hide it for the rest of his life, or he would simply do it himself and gradually reveal those things in this world. There were many concerns, such as the fear that it would be abused and become a threat, or that he would lose his trump card, or that others would find out and treat him as an anomaly.
But the mages in the main world did not have so many concerns.
The reason was simple. They were used to it.
In the main world, many high-level mages would travel to other planes when they had nothing to do. They would use magic to travel to the Astral Plane, and then travel from the Astral Plane to other planes. From time to time, they would bring back some civilization creations or knowledge from other planes to share.
However, most of the time, the characteristics of other planes were too unique, and the things they brought back had no reference value for the mages in the main world. But some were very useful. For example, the anti-gravity array used by mages to build magic warships was brought back by a mage from another world hundreds of years ago, and after modification, it was used in the main world's civilization.
That was why Fangzheng deliberately brought these things back from other worlds and gave them to the White Tower.
This was because Fangzheng did not need to worry about the problems that the protagonists in other web novels had to worry about.
Was he afraid that the spread of technology would cause the civilization of the main world to become more violent and dangerous?
Hehe, the legendary mages in the main world could destroy a country with a flip of their hand, and there was no radiation pollution. They were much more powerful than nuclear bombs, and he was still worried about this? After all, nuclear bombs were nested in silos and could not move. As a mage, who knew where he could go with a teleportation spell?
Worried that he would be exposed and treated as an anomaly?
Unfortunately, the main world's transmigration was not the privilege of the protagonist. Most mages, especially high-level mages and legendary mages, liked to travel around the Astral Plane when they had nothing to do, searching for the source of knowledge or the truth of the universe. Even if the mages in the White Tower discovered Fangzheng's "transmigration" ability, they would at most say a few words of surprise and then go on with their lives.
What's more, there were so many races in the main world and in the other planes. Angels, demons, elves, dwarves, frost giants, which one of them was not an anomaly?
Mind Flayers also ate human brains. Try taking a bite?
You don't even dare to eat brains, and you still have the nerve to worry about being seen as an alien?
Of course, there was another reason why Fangzheng did this. The Origin World was currently in the early stages of the Magical Industrial Revolution. He didn't mind letting the mages understand more knowledge from other worlds to speed up the advancement of their civilization.
Although magic and technology had their own emphasis, the development of civilization itself was a process of trial and error. Even if they were different, at least the development goals were similar. For example, the Origin World wouldn't be so stupid as to create the engine of the technological world. Magic was much easier to use than electricity. But even so, the mechanical designs and manufacturing products could still give the mages some inspiration, allowing them to come up with more ideas.
Just like in Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon", Verne could only think of using a super-large cannon to launch a person loaded in a shell to the moon. In the eyes of future generations, this was obviously a bit ridiculous, but the reason Verne was able to write all this was because humans first realised that they lived on a round planet, and the moon was the closest planet to them....
In the Middle Ages, although there were cannons, who would have thought of using cannons to shoot the moon? Because they didn't have the knowledge to do so!
As for whether this knowledge was applicable, Fangzheng wasn't worried.
Although he often complained that this was unscientific and that was unscientific, he was just complaining. It wasn't that materialism didn't mean that they didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but that they understood the world objectively. To put it simply, the more you knew, the easier it was to understand and understand the world objectively.
For example, the resurrection of the dead. In the Middle Ages, people would definitely associate it with all kinds of feudal superstitions, but if modern people saw it, the first thing they would think of would be the T-virus. Of course, the T-virus itself was just nonsense, but at least modern people would first think that it was some kind of virus or biological effect, instead of immediately thinking that it was the resurrection of the dead or the possession of the dead.
Why? Because there was no evidence to prove it.
On Earth, we haven't actually seen ghosts with our own eyes, captured, observed, dissected and understood ghosts. That's why we thought ghosts didn't exist. Because there was no evidence to prove their existence except for some urban legends that were hearsay, so they didn't exist. This was a very simple logic.
It was the same for Gods and Devils.
Maybe one day, according to our scientific development, we would be able to observe creatures from other dimensions. Maybe we would be able to discover the "souls" that really lived in other dimensions. At that time, we could just change the textbooks. Materialism wasn't a religious belief. Those who didn't repent would be fanatical crusaders, not qualified materialists.
On the other hand, it was normal for the Devil and the Undead to exist in the Origin World. Why? Because we could see the Devil and the Undead with our own eyes, capture them, dissect them, analyze them, recognize them, and even fight with them. Therefore, their existence was very normal and reasonable.
This was very scientific and very materialistic.
It could even be said that the mages of the Origin World were the most "materialistic" group of people. Perhaps they were even more "materialistic" than the educated modern people on Earth. After all, many people on Earth couldn't understand and accept things that were beyond their scope of common sense. However, for mages, they had seen all kinds of strange things. No matter how rare they were, they could understand and accept their existence.
This was also one of the reasons why Fangzheng was so relieved to send these things to the White Tower.
As for the second reason … .it was very simple. He wanted to improve the level of civilization in the Origin World as soon as possible.
Although the message of the Goddess of Order that Fangzheng found on the satellite was vague, one condition was very clear. That was, the civilization of the Origin World must first be able to break through the atmosphere and conduct interstellar travel. Only then would they be qualified to receive the message of the Goddess of Order.
And this could only mean one thing – the dangers beyond the stars were far greater than here. Being able to conduct interstellar travel was the most basic requirement.
If the level of civilization in the Origin World wasn't improved as soon as possible, was Fangzheng going to be the savior alone?
Knowledge could be used to supplement the lack of basic knowledge, but industrialization was still the most important. That was why Fangzheng found all kinds of power systems and machinery from his own free world and gave them to the White Tower, including an F22 and a Typhoon fighter, as well as high-precision lathes and various processing instruments.
Of course, Fangzheng didn't care at all about what the "owners" of these things thought. If they were annoyed, he would just send them home for the New Year. His slime was still waiting for the opportunity to show off his skills.
Since Hollywood liked to save the world so much, Fangzheng had plenty of opportunities for them.
After all, the so-called "world" in Hollywood had nothing to do with Fangzheng's country.
The White Tower, who had received the benefits, of course, quickly responded. Soon, a team was quickly organized, then they boarded the magic warship and sailed in the direction of the Golden Bay.
Sitting on the sofa, Mary looked at the people around her. They all felt a little awkward.
As Douglas said, the White Tower was quite "concerned" about Fangzheng. This could be seen from the composition of the team they sent. Representatives from the eight major schools of evocation, prophecy, conjuring, enchantment, illusion, necromancy, defense, and transmutation were gathered here.
They were all people that Mary was familiar with.
Sitting on the sofa on the other side was a girl with blonde curly hair dressed like a noble lady. She was the representative of the illusion school, Emma Delian. In the White Tower, the illusion school had always been quite outstanding for its exaggerated and unique beauty. The Delian in front of her was as eye-catching as a peacock with its tail open ….
But narcissism was also a characteristic of illusion mages. Otherwise, why would they learn illusion?
In fact, Emma was indeed a noble lady. This was not common in the White Tower because although magic was indeed magical, it was also very boring.
It was actually the same as the scientists on Earth. Everyone thought they were very cool when they invented and created things, but when they saw how many experiments and records they had to complete in the laboratory and on the computer every day, they were as tired as a dead dog. Of course, some geniuses would definitely enjoy it, but for most people, studying number theory and conjectures for a year would probably be so boring that they would want to jump off a building.
Most of the mages in the White Tower came from ordinary families. They were eager to change their fate and future by learning magic, so even if the study of magic was very boring, they could still grit their teeth and endure it.
For the children of nobles with superior family conditions, learning magic was not as attractive as they thought. But there were exceptions.
Either someone was really interested in magic and liked it very much, or they were very talented. They could learn something that others might not be able to master even after several years, but they could easily learn it in a week.
No setbacks, no failures, smooth sailing from beginning to end. Most people did not even dare to think about this kind of thing, but some people were geniuses. What could you do?
And Emma Delian was such a genius.
She first came into contact with magic when she saw an illusion released by an illusionist at a family ball …. Most illusionists' daily work was basically to add color to the aristocratic gatherings, or to add special effects to the performances.
To put it bluntly, many illusionists were actually no different from special effects artists.
Attracted by the colorful and beautiful illusions created by the illusionists, Emma entered the White Tower and joined the school of illusion to start learning.
At that time, many people thought that this noble lady would not be able to endure any hardship, and would not even be able to endure the life of an apprentice. But the reality surprised them – this genius girl almost smoothly rose all the way to the level of a fifth-circle mage, and was currently advancing to the sixth circle.
If she could really master the sixth circle spells, she could be regarded as the backbone of the White Tower.
But even now, many apprentices who entered the White Tower at the same time as her were still lingering in the ranks of the first, second, and third circle mages ….
From a certain point of view, this was indeed infuriating.
But while Mary was carefully looking at her, Miss Delian put down the teacup in her hand and looked at the people around her with a smile.
"Everyone, it's very boring to sit here like this. Why don't we talk?"
"What do you want to talk about?"
Hearing Delian's words, Mary frowned and asked. Delian, on the other hand, smiled faintly and looked at everyone thoughtfully.
"Well …. We all know very well why we were sent here, so let's not hide it. Why don't you all tell us what you think about Mr. Fangzheng?"
