Inside the wizard tower, a large number of wizard students were gathered in a lobby on the second floor. Everyone was talking about something. In the back seats, there were many apprentices who had graduated from the wizard tower and were now official wizards who were either internal staff members or mentors' assistants.
Edward stood on the stage and gave a speech. Although he was young, he had already completed all the teaching courses in the wizard tower. He had also graduated from the wizard tower and become an official wizard. Just a few days ago, he had successfully advanced to become a level-2 wizard.
Even so, he didn't have the right to stand in the position of a mentor. This time, his right to stand on the stage was granted by the acting tower master, Pol Kelermo, because he had made some groundbreaking discoveries and developments, which were very likely to confirm a new path for wizards.
"Today, I stand here and want to talk to you about the idea that will become a new branch of wizards in the future – Dream Witchcraft. Most of what I have said so far comes from the teachings of the great sage Anthony, the founder of the wizard tower and the origin of witchcraft and wizards.
"In the notes given to me by Anthony, the origin of Dream Witchcraft can be traced back to the divine spells and projection abilities of the gods, which are related to the secrets of the laws of nature. Mind interference with reality is related to the mystery of the origin of mind power, just like the Philosopher's Stone.
"Ever since the war between the orcs and the humans ended, I'm sure many wizards have come into contact with priests and Holy Knights. Their Divine Incantations have become more complicated and varied. They can summon creatures from the Divine Realm, Heavenly Projection, True Words, and even summon powerful saints and Holy Disciples to possess them. A series of witchcraft beyond our knowledge and imagination."
"Priests who are originally weak and lacking in skills can suddenly explode with terrifying combat power. Those existences that should only be considered as illusory spells can actually interfere with real matter. Illusory projections can actually cause damage to our bodies and kill us."
"Their divine spells are getting stronger and stronger, and they are even no weaker than the Blood Witchcraft that we have mastered. I originally thought that after the war between the humans and the orcs, the Church of Light, which had lost its artifact and its Holy Maiden, would decline. However, we are still at a disadvantage in our battle. If it weren't for the major internal conflicts and the heavy losses we suffered in the previous battle with the orcs, I'm afraid they would have further suppressed us."
Edward stood on the stage, spread out his hands, and used the name of the great sage Anthony to explain the reality and possibility of Dream Witchcraft. This immediately resonated with a large number of wizards. The originally listless crowd immediately looked at him with curiosity and interest. Many people in the audience whispered to each other, seemingly very interested in what Edward was talking about.
Edward was just a brat. Although he had some fame among the students, in the eyes of most of the official Magi, he was just a young disciple of Frank. He was just a young man with some talent. Most of the people who came to attend this class were just curious about the so-called new spell, and they wanted to give Frank some face. However, letting such a young man teach on stage still caused some criticism among the teachers.
Edward also bore a lot of pressure. Although his mentor, Frank Kelermo, had given a high degree of affirmation and praise for his new research, Edward was not completely sure whether it could be recognized by the outside world. At this moment, when he saw that everyone was quiet and interested in what he had said, he immediately calmed down and went into the main topic.
"Dream Witchcraft is a series of witchcraft that includes a series of magic such as illusion, curse witchcraft, and the use of mind force field witchcraft. It is a major witchcraft research direction besides Blood Witchcraft.
"Using mind power to build a spiritual world, construct dreams, and interfere with reality witchcraft with mind power. This is a witchcraft system with no limits. The only thing that limits us is our imagination.
"We can directly project the scene of our dreams, pulling everyone into our own dreamland illusion, forming an illusion domain that can have a large area of destruction. We can also project the monsters, powerhouses, and illusory existences of our own imagination into the material world. We can also form strange and unpredictable curses to curse and kill our enemies on the spiritual level. As long as your spiritual power is strong enough, the range of your interference with reality and the projection will be closer to reality."
I believe that in addition to this, there are more abilities that belong to dream witchcraft that have not yet been developed. This is not something that I can do alone. It requires the continuous research and exploration of countless wizards, just like Blood Witchcraft. "
Everything that Edward said immediately caused a strong sensation in the audience. Everyone seemed to see the great future of dream witchcraft from Edward's explanation. It was very likely that it would become an important category of wizards besides Blood Witchcraft. If it was successful, wizards would open up another path besides Blood Witchcraft, and that would be dream witchcraft!
Many people in the audience were reading the booklets that were distributed when they entered the arena, which recorded the characteristics and applications of dream witchcraft that Edward had sorted out. The notes on dream witchcraft that Lu Zhiyu had given Edward didn't go too deep, just some basic principles, applications, and prospects. Edward had used his own talent, as well as his contact with priests and observations, to gradually perfect the important parts of dream witchcraft.
Not only that, but there was also a small amount of Adonis' thoughts and research on necromancy, or rather, a part of necromancy was also incorporated into Edward's dream witchcraft system.
This was something that Lu Zhiyu had never thought of. Geniuses were called geniuses because they were beyond common sense and unimaginable. Edward was such a person, and so was his senior, Adonis.
A mentor sitting in the back of the audience suddenly stood up and said, "I would like to ask you something. As far as I know, it is difficult for wizards below level four to have the ability that you are talking about. Their mind power has not been activated, or they can form curse witchcraft to attack the mind consciousness of creatures and affect the physical level. However, to use a real projection to interfere with reality is simply a delusion."
The tutor criticized Edward loudly. "You're talking nonsense with something that's completely impossible to achieve, something that only exists in ideals. It's impossible to achieve!"
Another official wizard stood up and said, "It is not difficult for an ordinary official wizard to construct a perfect dream. However, a dream is like a sandcastle piled up with sand, which can be blown away by the wind. Every time you use dream witchcraft, you have to make a lot of preparation and condense a dream. In that case, the practicality of the dream will be greatly reduced."
Many people immediately found the loopholes in the dream witchcraft that Edward had mentioned. This was the wizard tower, not some remote corner of the countryside, where wisdom and knowledge gathered. Any careless witchcraft or ideas would immediately be exploited by others.
However, at this moment, Frank Kelermo, who was standing at the back, and Edward, who was on the podium, did not panic. Edward quietly waited for these people to finish expressing their opinions, then picked up a silver-white crystal that was only the size of a green bean.
"The key is here!"
Edward raised the crystal, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of wizards present. Many people did not recognize what it was, but several mentors immediately stood up and looked at Frank Kelermo.
"The Philosopher's Stone!"
"That's the Philosopher's Stone!"
Immediately, someone exclaimed, and the audience seemed to explode with excitement. Everyone had heard of this legendary stone. For the two wizards, it was like a holy stone that could turn stone into gold. It could transform the nature of mind power, which was the key to becoming a level four wizard. It was originally a forbidden spell of the wizard tower, but after Uruk, Wolfe, and Wendy returned to the orc kingdom and the Yala Continent of the elves, it was no longer exclusive to them.
However, for most wizards, it was a real magical item. Without it, no matter how strong a wild wizard was, it would be impossible to break through the huge threshold of level four. It also represented everyone's dream and hope.
"Is this the Philosopher's Stone?"
"Yes, although it is small and inconspicuous, the power fluctuations and the attraction to mind power are absolutely right."
"However, mind power has not reached the threshold of level four, so it can't transform the nature of mind power at all. For low-level wizards, it is useless. What is he trying to do by taking it out?"
When everyone present was confused by Edward's words, Edward continued, "Everything that everyone just said can be resolved with the item in my hands. That's right, the Philosopher's Stone. However, it is not the original Philosopher's Stone. Rather, it is a modified version."
"Just like Bloodline Witchcraft, which needs to be integrated with the casting organs and blood of a magical beast, Dream Witchcraft also has a threshold, which is the thing in my hand. I call it the Stone of Dream, and it is made from the Philosopher's Stone."
"The Philosopher's Stone has the ability to interfere with reality, which immediately reminded me of the use of dreams. I used my mind power to engrave my dream on it, and then transplanted it into my body. The power that the mind power could not interfere with reality will be projected by the Stone of Dream, and the dream that was originally like a sand castle will be fixed, becoming a mature and stable Dream Space."
As Edward spoke, he pointed between his eyebrows, where he had transplanted the Stone of Dream. It was also the place where the mind power was the fastest and closest to when it was emitted from the brain.
Immediately, a silver wolf was condensed by Edward's mind power as he closed his eyes. It was projected through the Dream Space and the Stone of Dream, appearing in the hall.
The silver wolf's fur was vivid and lifelike. It looked at everyone around it fiercely and let out a low growl. There was no falsehood at all. Even its shadow and fur swayed with the wind blowing in through the window.
"What?"
"Isn't this an illusion?"
"It's not a simple illusion. It really interferes with reality. The creature projected is really as he said."
"This is Dream Witchcraft?"
Many students of the wizard tower were shocked, while a large number of mentors and tower staff gathered around and carefully looked at the silver wolf. They watched as it fiercely overturned the table, ran around the lobby, and finally jumped towards Edward, who was at the top. However, it scattered into a silver light in mid-air and disappeared into the air, letting people know that this existence was not a living creature, but an illusory projection.
Edward opened his eyes, walked to the front of the stage, and bowed to everyone. "This is Dream Witchcraft!"
Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded continuously, echoing in the lobby. It could be seen that this was a real practical category of witchcraft that had been created, and the young man was the pioneer of this category, just like his teacher, Bockelermo, who had created Bloodline Witchcraft.
