Yes, there were many scholars who had mastered extraordinary powers. At that time, the Valleglia steel chain in the scholar's necklace lived up to its name!
Well, the Valleglia steel chain was custom-made in Valleglia. There were fifty pieces, which added up to one kilogram. It was the remuneration for a scholar to serve the Wizard Council for thirty years.
The quantity was limited, so after the scholar died, his chain would be reclaimed by the City of Knowledge.
In the past two thousand years, nearly a thousand scholars had worn the Valleglia steel chain. Excluding those people after the Blood Dragon Dance, ninety-five percent of the scholars were true magicians. Among them, there were even more than a hundred grand magicians.
The notes on the bookshelf were left behind by the grand magicians.
There was not much research on the specific fire witchcraft. It was mainly an elaboration of the essence of magic. They had long known the relationship between dragons and magic tides.
In one of the notes, Danny saw the word "real world" for the first time.
A history professor named "Fire Demon" Hades had a similar experience as "Long Legs" Lomas. He had traveled to almost every corner of the world.
"Fire Demon Hades" was the bandit title he got when he fought with witches in Asia.
Uh, when a witch was about to sacrifice a little slave girl to a shadow demon, Dr. Hades used "fire control" witchcraft to make the flames of the firewood avoid the child. Instead, the flames rolled back and burned the witch to death.
When he walked out of the flames with the little girl in his arms, the surrounding barbarians kneeled on the ground and shouted "Fire Demon". Since then, the name "Fire Demon" Hades spread like wildfire.
Obviously, Dr. Hades was also very proud of this. He had made a name for himself in Asia and even recorded all of his experiences in his notebook for future generations to worship.
Well, I digressed.
Although Dr. Hades was famous for his fire magic and was often proud of it, he himself had doubts about whether or not the civilization of mankind needed magic because he had seen too many tragedies caused by extraordinary powers.
Valleglia used magic to enslave the world and destroyed countless countries and races. Every year, Asha imported many slaves, and most of them were used by evil sorcerers as sacrifices to demons. After the sorcerers used magic, they would leave behind long-lasting energy radiation, causing terrible damage to ordinary people like a curse …
Dr. Hades lived in Valleglia during the Free Fortress period. Naturally, he did not know about the changes in the Land of Long Summer in the future. However, he had been to the Lorne River, the middle reaches of the Lorne River after the war between the Valleglia and the Loynars. It was also the part of the river that was now known as the Sorrowful Territory.
The Heart Broken Hill was shrouded in grey fog all year round, and there were many stone people infected with the Grey Scale Disease living there.
Hades believed that the Grayscale Disease originated from the magic radiation near the Sorrowful Lair.
Because Valleglia was the most powerful country in the world at that time, although Dr. Hades had seen the side effects of the abuse of magic, he couldn't deny the advanced magic civilization.
He simply put forward a concept: if there were no illusory magic and "moody" gods, what kind of world could human beings create with their own wisdom?
The concept of the "real world" was derived from this.
After skimming through Hades' magic notes, Danny found that after Valleglia was destroyed by the Great Cataclysm, the "real world" began to be mentioned and looked forward to by more and more scholars.
"Valleglia had reached the peak of the magic civilization, and its destruction represented the failure of the magic civilization. Perhaps under the real world, human beings will have a better future. "
This was the conclusion of the secret meeting of the doctors in the City of Knowledge two hundred and fifty years ago, after the "cruel" Meg rode Bellerion and burned down the Starry Church (located in the old town, the main church of the Church of the Seven Gods at that time).
Of course, from some of the notes, Danny saw more of the scholars' jealousy of the talents of the Valleglia people, and they were unwilling to accept that they could not learn the high-level secret arts of Valleglia.
To put it simply, about 5% of the scholars were purely thinking about the future development of Westeros, and more people were despairing of supernatural powers after their fruitless cultivation.
In short, the scholars, who were very active, began a century-long plan to "restore the original appearance of the world."
Well, the "Megalosaurus Extinction Plan" was only one part of it. They wanted to create a world without magic and gods.
The extinction of the Megalosaurus started the end of the magic era for human beings, but it did not have any effect on the gods (it did, but Danny and the previous scholars did not know about it). Magic was gone, but the gods and priests still existed.
The last magic note belonged to a doctor named Kandy from one hundred and twenty years ago. Before he died, he wrote excitedly, "The magic in my body is fading. Hahaha, our generation has finally achieved an unprecedented feat and stopped the magic tide completely! I hope that the future generations will continue to work hard and completely end the era of the gods. "
"Well, the scholars of the City of Knowledge are really daring. The Megalosaurus is just an appetizer. Even the gods are their targets?!"
Danny was very curious about how the City of Knowledge intended to deal with the gods, so she prepared to look for books related to the "real world." But at this moment, a "kacha kacha" sound suddenly came from above.
— Someone was opening the door!
The next moment, she extinguished the flame floating in front of her eyebrows. Her body passed through several bookshelves like a ghost and hid in the innermost corner, hiding her body well.
"Creak, creak …" The person did not carry an oil lamp. After closing the thick iron door, he walked softly on the wooden ladder. In the quiet environment, Danny also heard the subtle sound of fingers rubbing the wall. The guy was like her before, looking for the torch on the wall.
"Creak …" Sparks of light flashed, and Danny heard that the other party was scraping the flint.
But after more than a dozen times, the torch was not ignited.
"What's going on?"
It was a strange male voice.
The whale oil on the cotton cloth at the top of the torch was burned up by me. Of course, it can't be ignited by you.
Danny complained in her heart.
Maybe he found that the torch was broken. The man continued to grope his way down, and not long after, he started scraping the flint again.
"Boom — Beep Beep Beep Beep!" This time, he only scraped twice, and the torch burned fiercely.
Under the light of the fire, Danny saw a terrifying face — Pate!
The person holding the torch and slowly walking down the wooden ladder was Pate!
The pale young man did not look scary, but the meaning of Pate's appearance in the library at this time was shocking.
"Faceless!"
Danny's expression was complicated. At this time, she was completely sure that the poor poor apprentice had ended his miserable life. His face was peeled off, his body was thrown into the Honey Wine River, his girlfriend was … his identity was replaced, miserable miserable miserable miserable miserable!
"No wonder this guy has an aura that makes people unwilling to get close to him." Danny watched 'Pate' find a glass oil lamp in the small cabinet under the wooden table. After lighting it, he extinguished the torch and began to walk through the bookshelves.
Finally, he came to the bookshelf labeled "Dragon". When he found the book "72 Techniques to Hatch a Dragon Egg" in the "Legendary Creature — Dragon — Dragon Egg" column, the originally expressionless' Pate 'was almost beaming with joy.
He did not read it carefully, only the preface. Then, he stuffed the book into his gray robe and flipped to the next book … Finally, in the "Dragon Riding" column, he found a few ancient scrolls of Valleglia's parchment and tied them to his calf. Then, he walked back to the round table.
Looking at his unsatisfied expression, it seemed that he wanted to empty the library?
Danny was annoyed. He even had a dragon and a god, why didn't he have a space ring!
She also wanted to empty the library!
Just when she could not hold back her envy and hatred and was about to run to the first floor to inform the gatekeeper that Pate was a thief, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
After 'Pate' put the torch back, closed the iron door and left, she also ran to the round table, squatted on the floor and lit the glass oil lamp with a warm wick. Then, she rummaged through the small cabinet beside her to find a quill and ink.
Then, in the bookshelf labeled "Dragon", she found a book called "Targaryen Dragon Hatching Chronicles".
"Hehehe, Pate, oh Pate, I'm afraid you're not satisfied with just stealing once, right?"
Danny smiled and leaned over the table, adding a paragraph on a blank page of the book.
After doing all this, she went back to the second floor and told the old knight that Pate was a Faceless One. Then, she went back to the library and continued to look for books related to the "True World".
As the distance between the main body and the "coordinates" Barristan was very close, the spiritual body lasted for a full five hours before Danny's wizard power was completely exhausted.
However, this period of time was enough for her to understand the progress of the City of Knowledge's "Artificial Age of Magic Plan". How should she put it …
She was very disappointed.
The scholars of the City of Knowledge were ruthless. When dealing with the simple-minded, simple-minded Targaryen royalty, their methods were astonishing. In the blink of an eye, the Megalosaurus had been reduced to ashes without leaving a trace. But when it came to the gods, they were completely resigned to fate and had no plans.
In other words, the scholars of the older generation were both knowledgeable and had real supernatural powers. Not to mention that they knew the truth of the world, at least they had a very deep understanding of their goals — magic and the gods.
It was because of their understanding of the Megalosaurus and the magic tide that they were able to let the world enter the Age of Magic.
But after entering the Age of Magic, the scholars of the older generation were all dead. The new scholars of the next generation did not know magic at all. The Megalosaurus were all dead, so the Age of Magic had entered the Age of Magic. They did not know much about mystical knowledge and even doubted the authenticity of magic.
If they did not even understand mystical knowledge, how could they formulate a plan to deal with the existences at the peak of supernatural powers — the gods?
The idea of the scholars of the City of Knowledge developing the "civilization of ordinary people" was good. Looking at this matter from a neutral point of view, Danny even had some admiration for the City of Knowledge.
Also, they were not as useless as she had thought before.
The City of Knowledge had indeed been established for thousands of years, but in those thousands of years, they had been learning from the advanced Valleglia and developing a magical civilization. It was only in the recent few hundred years that the scholars realized in despair that not everyone was qualified to develop a magical civilization. The requirements for supernatural powers were too high.
More importantly, after the Cataclysm, Valleglia had killed herself. It seemed that there was no way out for the magical civilization?
Therefore, the City of Knowledge began to change its development path and prepared to completely end the Age of Magic. They focused all their efforts on … Er, it was very awkward. Although the City of Knowledge had been clamoring to create a "real world without magic and gods," they did not have a clear idea of the development of the "real world."
In other words, they were wholeheartedly focused on destroying the "magic era," but they did not have any plans for the "technological civilization."
If there were no gods, no long night, and no deviant ghosts, Danny suspected that the City of Knowledge would continue to be lost for one or two thousand years. Then, they would experience a "renaissance" and officially propose the concept of "technology."
Just like the Western world on Earth.
Unfortunately, the faith of the Light King had begun to corrupt the Westeros. The long night was coming, and the deviant ghosts had already headed south to the Great Wall.
When the Night King descended, even the scholar himself would shout, "Seven Gods, please make sure it's real!"
When the Seven Gods could not respond, the scholars might even shout, "My Lord Lahlo," or "Danny, my King, long live the Seven Gods."
Sigh, the scholars of this world were both hateful and pitiful.
