"Dear scholars, I'm Rorschach L. Harloys, a newcomer to this place. Since I've received an invitation, I'd like to say a few words to everyone today. Yep, of course it's more than a few words. I'm just being humble here, so don't take it seriously just because you're older than me. I really do have some important discoveries …"
The red lecture hall was already filled to the brim. Three hundred seats were considered the smallest of the smaller halls in this conference. It was also suitable for low-level newcomers like Rorschach to apply.
However, the fact that it was filled to the brim wasn't because of Rorschach's reputation. Instead, it was because there were simply too many people here. There were too many people who had nothing better to do, so they came directly after seeing that someone was giving a free lecture.
That's right, it was free. Applying for a lecture hall and the opportunity to give a lecture would require a considerable amount of money. However, it was also possible to charge an entrance fee, and it was usually quite expensive.
Only mages and acolytes would come to listen to professional lectures by mages. And these two types of people usually didn't lack money … Why would they become mages if they didn't have money? Just turn left from the warrior's guild next door, and their muscles were naturally harmless.
For someone like Rorschach, who was giving a free lecture, this meant that they would definitely lose money, but it was even more of a loss of face.
"Knowledge is priceless, and a mage's knowledge is a tangible power. The process of exploring magical knowledge itself requires a large amount of investment. Selling your knowledge cheaply will not only hurt your personal dignity, but also the entire mage community's honor."
When Rorschach told the staff of the lecture hall this, he was lectured by an old man. However, in the end, he didn't reject Rorschach's application.
After all, even the veterans understood how hard it was for a newcomer. It was already difficult enough to come up with something new that could be used on stage. If he charged a fee, the number of people coming would definitely decrease greatly, and perhaps the lecture wouldn't have any effect at all.
The old mage tried to persuade Rorschach, but he still hoped that Rorschach would charge two copper coins as an entrance fee. That would be equivalent to a cheap lunch. No mage would care about this, but it would show the wealth of knowledge.
"No thanks, it's too troublesome. I still have to bring a bunch of copper coins home … Hey, old man, why are you leaving?"
From a certain standpoint, Rorschach's natural talent ability, honesty, was really the best weapon for "breaking off a friendship".
Rorschach shrugged. He didn't mind at all. Perhaps it was because he had inexplicably offended and angered too many people the first time they met, so he didn't lack one more person. to him.
And what he intended to do next would offend even more people.
"… Since you're here, please listen to me. In my opinion, Life and Death are one and the same. The Death Factor and Life Cells are actually two sides of the same coin …"
"… Take a look, my apprentice Morton is a clear piece of evidence. He used to be a pure living human, but now he's a plant-like creature. His plant cells have perfectly replaced his animal cells …
.. the point., I....... a.......... and. the the lowest level '''s to the undead '.......... to the, to. To..... to. is. the.
......................... . Just because one is born in a mother's womb and the other is born in a factory, it's completely different? "
Typically, newcomers' speech centers were free of charge. That was to say, the speaker had to spend money to attract attention. It didn't matter how many people came.
For high-level spellcasters, knowledge was priceless, and time was the currency necessary to obtain knowledge. Time and money couldn't be compared at all.
A newcomer's speech center was basically like a stage in a teahouse. The person on stage was giving his or her best performance, while the audience below was just listening to a few sentences in the background. They closed their eyes and took a nap to rest their minds.
In fact, the audience who had been waiting below were just here to watch the show and to support the younger generation.
After all, more than ninety percent of newcomers risked their lives to achieve their so-called new successes. They were probably just the edges and corners left behind by their seniors. Their horizons and power level limited their horizons.
If they wanted to learn something and understand the new frontiers of learning, they wouldn't look for newcomers.
Mages' time was precious. They would listen for about two minutes before moving on to the next speech center.
The result was that for most of the newcomers' venues, even if they could gather more than half of them at the beginning, there would only be a small half left after five minutes. Moreover, there were people coming in and out continuously, just like the city gate of a teahouse.
However, Rorschach was a little special. He had some fame before, and he had attracted the attention of many Great Mages in the Mage Duel. A few Great Mages who were attending the venue today walked over.
And the important thing was that the audience itself was attracting attention …
"Great Mage XX is here? He values the content here very much? "
"Great Mage BB's research topic is similar to mine. I'll go and take a look at the speech he's going to see."
"Great Mage XXX is an authority. He's the first to go to the speech center. How can I miss it?"
This kind of mentality was probably like a hungry diner looking for a restaurant on the street. He would always subconsciously look for a restaurant with customers. And for a restaurant, the first customer who would bring the first customer was very important.
"Because there are so many people, it's probably very delicious. At least it's edible."
This kind of thinking was not wrong. At least the speech of Rorschach, a pure newcomer, could fill the entire venue. Most of it was thanks to this kind of mentality.
And if the venue was full, and there were even people standing to listen, sometimes the audience would be too embarrassed to leave. At least they would listen seriously for two minutes before making up their minds to leave.
Then … the scene exploded!
"What did he say? Does he know how many magic principles and basic principles he violated? "
"Life and death can be exchanged? Why didn't he summon himself with undead magic? According to this, are his parents dead? "
"This is blasphemy! This is blasphemy against nature! "
"He's actually a nature mage?! What kind of joke is this? Even the believers of an evil god aren't so exaggerated. "
Mages were rational creatures. If Rorschach's words were foolproof, his theory was thorough, and his logic was complete, the audience would at least listen to him.
However, the youth on the stage kept saying "I think" and "It's obvious", which were full of subjective nonsense. Not only did he not give the report persuasive evidence, but he also disdained to debate.
"Believe it or not, I've already given you the results. If you want to prove that I'm wrong, then show me the evidence!"
The moment he said this, it was very … aggressive.
Yet, this "aggressive" had a few valid proofs in his hands. The audience who questioned him had no idea where to find the evidence to defeat this aggressive.
Immediately, some mages were so angry that they couldn't take it anymore. They went up on stage to check the so-called "zombie dog," "built-in second wooden heart," and "half-plant, half-animal human," and found out that they were all true.
The scene instantly became chaotic. People kept asking to speak and refute Rorschach.
However, Rorschach's face was full of disdain.
"Show me the evidence."
"What's the point of only giving the results? The process? The logical proof process? "
In a way, the young newcomer had perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be an extreme aggressive. Many great mages were so angry that they expressed their opinions in public. They would go back and use the results of their research to prove that he was just quibbling.
It was foreseeable that in the academic journal that would be published tomorrow, Rorschach's unorthodox ideas would be attacked by various experts.
However, not many people noticed that behind the podium, Isabella was giggling and supervising a few clerks who were frantically recording the great mages' speeches.
