"Magic is an art … Just listen to what those little fellows say. It's a science, a knowledge, the crystallization of countless experiences and knowledge. It's definitely not some bullsh * t thing that can be solved with inspiration and a pat on the head."
He had a long beard and was short and stout. He would frequently glare at me and blow his beard. If it wasn't for the fact that the dwarves were basically a magical desert, archmage Hamm Quinn would definitely have been mistaken for a dwarf.
But actually, this ordinary-looking archmage was not only a former inner circle member of the Truth Symposium, he was also the most famous theoretical researcher and educator. His "compound mechanical thinking" spell was praised as the most effective Legend-ranked spell of the century.
"Young man, you're so stubborn. Just listen to my persuasion. Don't take it seriously. If you're reduced to the level of a mason, the Cloud Tower won't pay you a salary. "
The tall "human" next to the "dwarf mage" was wearing a suit, a pair of sunglasses, and a watch. However, a torrent of data flashed across the sunglasses, and various natural environment parameters and evaluation results appeared on the watch as well.
Travel mage Wen Ke was a famous adventurer and explorer in the multiverse. His true name was unknown, and his birthplace was unknown. Many people said that he didn't even belong to this universe. However, it was said that he had been obediently doing theoretical research in the Cloud Tower for several decades after losing a bet.
These two archmages were both Emblems of Truth. This title wasn't based on their power level. Rather, it was the highest-level title for mages. This meant that the person with this title surpassed all other existences in a certain field and was a unique expert.
This seemed like an ordinary title, but considering that "all other existences" included True Gods and Main Gods, this title was incredibly valuable. Even the Main Gods of the major Gods would treat them as equals.
Actually, although it wasn't explicitly stated, the standard for becoming an inner circle member of the Truth Symposium was this Emblems of Truth.
Typically, there would only be ten to twelve inner circle members. They were the highest authority in the Mage Country and could decide everything in the Mage Country. However, the retired former inner circle members were the foundation and accumulation of the Mage Country. Most of them were obsessed with their own experiments, so they ignored the Truth Symposium.
Even though the lowest requirement for a Truth Mage was to become a SemiGod archmage, and Roxia was only one step away from becoming a SemiGod archmage, he still needed several hundred years of accumulated knowledge and creative achievements before he could reach the Truth Mage rank. This was something that no hack would be able to achieve.
Without a doubt, Emordilorcan archmages were the highest-level combat strength in the entire Mage Country, or even the entire Aishi Plane. They were active strategic threats. When Rorschach sent a request for reinforcements to the Cloud Tower, he never expected that Emordilorcan archmages would come.
Roxia stood in front of the teleportation portal and looked at the two powerful existences who had just arrived. He didn't even know how they had arrived. Logically speaking, the current dimensional barrier shouldn't have been able to allow such monsters to sneak in.
"How did you get here? I was a planeswalker, the most professional planar traveler. If planar barriers and crystal walls could stop me, why would I be a planeswalker? As for him … a rotten rat always has a way of burrowing his way in. "
Wen Ke glanced at the old mage who was taking out his workbench and detector with a smile. Her words were full of disdain.
"Little brat, thinking is knowledge, and knowledge is self … Birdman, what did you call me? Do you want to have a fight first …? "
The two big shots started arguing at the portal. Rorschach hesitated for a moment before he decided to pretend that he didn't see anything.
Rorschach had heard of these two individuals before. One of them was originally a lich and a SemiGod who had transformed into a traditional mage. He specialized in the foundational theories of the world's structure. He was a complete native of Eich and an ancient stubborn mage. The other was a knowledgeable dimensional scholar who specialized in the creation of various dimensional magic and science.
One of them was a foundational mage, while the other was an inspiration mage. One was a local mage, while the other was an outsider mage. Although both of them were magical researchers, it was obvious that they were rivals in the same field. The two of them didn't have a good relationship.
They didn't fight on the spot because time was tight and the mission was important. It was also because both of them wanted to see who would be the first to produce decent results.
After a short conversation, Rorschach learned that the two of them were special cases that had been able to arrive. They also consumed so much energy that they didn't need to wait for a third person.
Planar mages were planar travelers to begin with. They had special constitutions that allowed them to ignore most planar barriers. Ansorenne's planar barrier had been lowered to such a level that he could already try using his own planar teleportation ability.
Archmage Hamm's situation was even more special. He had coded his own soul many years ago. Er, nobody knew how he did it, but he was indeed able to enter and exit all sorts of unusual situations like a string of information or an article. It was said that if he were to flame someone on the internet, even ten artificial intelligences wouldn't be a match for him.
But even so, the Cloud Tower still paid a huge price to allow these two big shots to enter. This price far exceeded the entire wealth of Vila Nova Dônia.
The two big shots didn't stay idle after arriving. They immediately started working.
A void screen kept appearing and disappearing in front of Wen Ke. While he was pointing and drawing, he was also analyzing and cleaning up the dimensional laws, including but not limited to elemental particles' characteristics and magical creatures' growth curves. Soon, a detailed dimensional travel guide would appear before the Truth Symposium.
Meanwhile, Old Hamm took out a large pile of experimental equipment and tables. His dozen or so clones all got busy, casting numerous Aishi spells. He also recorded the spell models' transformations and elemental development trends.
What spells could be used here and what results could be obtained were only the early stages of his experiments. The next step was to test out the dimensional laws and tendencies of this world. He wanted to see which types of mages would be favored by the world and the elements, and which types of mages would have the most potential for development. He also wanted to see which types of mages would have the highest combat strength.
Basic information, common knowledge, overall situation, and dimensional laws were all collected. The Truth Symposium needed the most detailed report.
Although the Mage Country had been collecting all the data beforehand, there were some things that only the Truth Symposium could do. Their arrival meant that the Truth Symposium was fully involved.
But if this was all, it wouldn't be enough for the two big shots to personally come here.
"We came here for this."
Wen Ke pointed above his head. Rorschach had a sudden realization, but then he felt that something was off.
"The Eye of Wisdom? Is he that important? I keep feeling that his' wisdom 'is completely different from us mages' wisdom, apart from the fact that he uses different words. "
Rorschach was rather confused. Although he felt that the Eye of Wisdom was both disgusting and annoying, was he so difficult to deal with that the Truth Symposium would take him seriously? It didn't seem like it.
Wen Ke chuckled. He rather admired this young man's explanation of wisdom.
"He's nothing. If seeing is wisdom, then what's the point of thinking and reasoning? We came here for that. "
This time, Rorschach clearly saw what they were referring to. It was the black mist that was spreading from the various churches' Holy Churches. That was a local specialty of the Holy Church, as well as …
"The data matches. I never expected that what we've been searching for all this time would be right in front of us. This is magic mist, and also this world's most primitive … inert Chaos."
