On this day, the residents of the City of Silver were surprised to find that the elemental words that had been floating in the sky for only two days suddenly disappeared. Instead, they were replaced by a very strong magic power.
What was this?
What was going on?
This was what many residents of the City of Silver were thinking.
Although the residents of the city were all sorcerers, not all of them had such a long lifespan. Most of the people who had seen the Arcane Sky Projection three times did not know what was going on.
Only a very small number of sorcerers who were powerful enough and had a long lifespan knew about the Arcane Sky Projection.
As soon as they noticed the abnormality of the magic power, they immediately noticed the change in the sky.
"It's actually an Arcane Sky Projection!?"
In a mage tower in the City of Silver, a middle-aged, short-haired sorcerer looked at the sky with a serious face. He was Russell, the holder of the Star and Moon Badge, one of the councilors of the Star and Moon Association of Arcana. He was one of the few sorcerers who had seen the Arcane Sky Projection, and one of the three supreme sorcerers in the City of Silver who were closest to Jean in terms of power.
He knew the significance of the Arcane Sky Projection. If there was no special situation, Jean would not use the Arcane Sky Projection to inform the whole city. The bet between Jean and Angus could be ignored. It was almost a black mark in Jean's history.
Could it be that something out of control had happened?
Russell frowned. Maybe he needed to meet with the other councilors.
At the same time, in the other two mage towers, the other two supreme sorcerers in the City of Silver were also looking at the sky, quietly waiting for Jean's figure to appear, waiting for the terrible news.
They were all very puzzled because under the Arcane Eye's surveillance, the flow of mana in Prandal was very stable. There were no large-scale Chaos creatures, nor were there any abnormal daemons. Everything seemed very peaceful. Nothing major had happened at all.
Why would Jean suddenly use the Arcane Sky Projection?
It couldn't be like last time, could it?
After a short wait, in the slowly spinning magic vortex, Jean's projection appeared. Behind him, arcane balls were spinning in strange patterns.
"Residents of the City of Silver, I am Jean Augustine Master of Stars and Moon. I think many of you have heard of my name, but not many of you have actually seen me. I am the founder of the Star and Moon Tower, the president of the Star and Moon Association of Arcana, and the master of the City of Silver."
As soon as Jean's figure appeared, the streets and alleys of the City of Silver were filled with exclamations.
"My God! It's Jean Master of Stars and Moon! The legendary human's hero! Our leader! "
"Although I see the statues and magic projections in the plaza every day, this is the first time I've seen the real Lord of Stars and Moons!"
"Do you see the arcana ball spinning behind him? It's said that its orbit contains the law of gravity that Jean mastered, but no one has been able to understand it until now! "
Praises for Jean could be heard everywhere on the streets. Every human mage looked forward to seeing Jean (and Angus). Their achievements, their strength, their status, their reputation, and so on were all so tempting, attracting them to work hard.
But at the same time, many people who saw Jean for the first time let out disappointed howls.
"That's a terrible image! He's the master of the City of Silver? I'd rather our leader be Augustine! At least he looks like a respectable elder! "
"My God, the man of my dreams looks like this?! My heart is going to break! " “
"His teeth don't seem to be clean? My God! That can't be a vegetable, right?! " “
Legends were legends, after all, and legends would beautify the hero's image. No legend would tell you that a certain hero might have once been a lowly thief, and no story would tell you that a certain hero had accidentally embarked on the path of saving the world, and even reneged on his debt. No one would tell you that a certain hero had been forced to embark on this path in the beginning, and no one would tell you that a certain hero had been forced by life to embark on this path …
In addition, people subconsciously added the charm of heroes. Those who had never seen Jean would naturally imagine a perfect hero in their minds.
Humans needed heroes, and heroes couldn't have flaws. So in stories, heroes were always accompanied by a white horse. They were handsome, confident, and rich, and also benevolent and generous …
After seeing the hero in reality, the huge contrast shattered the dreams of countless people, as if they had suffered a heavy blow.
Of course, Jean couldn't hear the voices of those people at the moment. He was sorting out his words to advertise for Tang En.
Using the Arcane Sky Projection to advertise for him was a great treatment.
"The reason why I'm opening the Arcane Sky Projection today is because I have something very important to inform everyone. Before I speak, I have to emphasize that this matter is very important. It may change the future of the City of Silver, and each of you is a participant in it."
After Jean finished speaking, the bustling City of Silver suddenly fell silent. All the residents stared at Jean with their eyes wide open, waiting for him to continue announcing this important news.
Just as most people couldn't become heroes, if they couldn't change history, then they could only become participants and witnesses of history.
And now, they seemed to have the opportunity to witness history.
"In the past year, I haven't been in the Starmoon Tower most of the time. Instead, I've stayed in a remote town called Ellington. I don't think many people have heard of this name.
"When I passed by there a long time ago, it was just a dilapidated and backward small village. Even more than a year ago, it was still a small village with only a few thousand people living there.
"However, after just over a year of development, now, that small village of Ellington has developed into a city more prosperous than Nanilla, greater than Alinx, and more advanced than the City of Silver.
"I know many people don't believe me, and I know many people don't understand why I'm talking about this. Here, I can tell you a little bit about what I've seen and heard during the time I've lived in Ellington …"
In the short time that followed, Jean briefly introduced the changes in Ellington, as well as his experiences and thoughts in Ellington, especially the impact of Tang En's ideas and creativity on him.
In Ellington, other things might only surprise Jean, but Tang En's unique ideas shocked Jean the most.
He was very unique. Whether it was the way he conducted himself or the distinctive habits revealed in his words and actions, he was different from everyone else.
"… And now, because of what happened a few months ago, Tang En has now become the Regent of the Irus Empire, and he is slowly implementing the policies he implemented in Ellington throughout the Irus Empire.
"He uses his powerful strength and strong iron-fisted policies to implement his ideas. Most importantly, all of his ideas are for the sake of promoting the development of the entire society.
"Magic machines that are widely used as soon as they are introduced, magic furniture that is widely popular, and magic buses that have just been popularized not long ago have already penetrated into all aspects of society and changed the entire society. Even magic mobile phones that have just been introduced to the market are enough to completely change the entire society.
"Magic mobile phones are a very convenient magic tool that can allow two parties who are very far away to communicate. Perhaps some people will think otherwise and think that magic communication can also do the same, but I have to remind you that this kind of closed and backward thinking is extremely dangerous. As mages, we must put an end to this kind of thinking.
"We are sorcerers. We are the masters of magic power. We are the creators of miracles. Our thinking and creativity are our most powerful weapons!"
"These things that Tang En has created are enough to prove that his creativity has an unparalleled influence on the entire society. Prandal has ushered in the era of magic. For a long time to come, under his promotion, magic will become the driving force and cornerstone of the entire society.
"Then, in this era, as mages, what should we do?"
Jean raised a rhetorical question that was on the minds of many people.
Yes, if the power of magic was popularized and could be used by every ordinary person, then where would the no longer noble mages go?
For a long time, there was a saying in Prandal that there were only two professions in this world: mages and other professions.
Yes, the uniqueness of mages led to them having an extremely special and noble status. This noble status also led to a strong sense of honor for mages.
Jean knew very well that it was because of this sense of honor that mages might not be able to accept sharing their power and benefiting every ordinary person.
People would always want to enjoy great power alone. This was the selfish nature of human beings.
However, if this race wanted to go further, they had to abandon this nature and contribute their own strength to the progress of the collective.
After a moment of silence, Jean said, "Now, I can't give such an answer."
After a pause, Jean said again, "But now we have a way to explore this answer."
"Under the promotion of Tang En, the Irus Empire is carrying out a work of popularizing basic education. Schools have been set up in major cities to educate children and teenagers. Now these schools are enrolling students and will start school soon."
"Now, I have asked for 100 teachers from Tang En. Our City of Silver can send 100 mages to these schools to serve as teachers of magic classes and teach the mysteries of magic to those children."
"I think, in this process, we will slowly find our place in the future."
"I will use the Elemental Projection to announce the specific requirements in the sky later. Everyone can take a look at it carefully. There are only 100 places. Those who meet the requirements can come to the Starmoon Tower to sign up."
"Today, that's all I want to say."
After dispersing the Arcane Sky Projection, Jean turned to look at Oz. "Oz, you should also prepare. I have reserved a place for you."
"Me!?"
Oz turned pale with fright. "Teacher, are you kidding!?"
Jean kicked him to the ground, glared at him, and scolded, "Don't take it for granted! Soon you will know how precious this place is! "
