Chapter 1269: Do your best (first update)

On the way to the apprentice's residence and training ground, mystics kept stopping to pay tribute to the emperor.

Those young mystics who participated in the meeting at Watum Temple completed their mission and returned to Kama Taj, telling their companions everything they saw and heard. For the mystics, although there had long been rumors that the Supreme Mage would split the title and hand over the position of Lord of Kama Taj to the Emperor, they did not realize that this moment had come until now.

The massacre that occurred at the Watum Temple deeply shocked all magic schools on earth, including Kama Taj. Even the trading market and the Spellcaster Alliance in the interdimensional space also received this horrific news. Everyone realizes that the future world will not be as tolerant as under the current Supreme Mage. In the eyes of some spellcasters, the emperor is leaving a series of bloody footprints in this world, and the new Lord of Kama Taj will use his blood to and the corpse to forge his irresistible new order. Some spellcasters even believed that the emperor's butcher knife would come to them sooner or later. For this reason, they were prepared to fall out with Kama Taj.

Someone connected the future Lord of Karma Taj with the ruler of Latvinia through those knights and what they saw and heard at the Vatum Conference. However, due to the protection measures taken by the Supreme Mage on the emperor's true name, those magics The school could no longer delve deeper into its secrets. However, this news has revealed a lot of information, which not only means that Latvinia has the secret support of Karma Taj, but also means that Karma Taj will break the code of seclusion and actively interfere in secular society. Although it is unclear why the Supreme Mage who was previously in power sent his disciples to open up a mortal kingdom, some people believe that this means that Karma Taj intends to change his attitude and actively interfere in the secular world, and manage all spellcasting through control of the entire earth. Otherwise, the Watum massacre was nothing more than an action used to state one’s attitude.

But these things have nothing to do with mere apprentices. There is no social media in the magical world, and no one will tell the apprentices any real situation about the outside world. Before they are allowed to leave the headquarters, the only task of the apprentices is to study and train, and to exercise their mental and physical abilities in this place far away from the world. This snow-covered mountain range allows humans to appreciate the magnificence of nature and their own insignificance. The pure and flawless sky can almost see the outer space. Whenever the mountains swallow up the sun, the bright Milky Way can traverse the night sky above. That kind of beautiful scenery is almost the deepest memory in the heart of the emperor when he was young. It is also a magnificent scene that cleanses the inner impetuousness and uneasiness of all apprentices from the outside world.

"Some time ago, the Ursa Minor was unusually bright, with many volcanoes erupting and frequent earthquakes. This is something I have never heard of." Sherlock Holmes pointed to the Milky Way in the sky, with paper, pencils, and a brass astrological disk beside him. , astrophysics books, tarot cards and optical astronomical telescopes, "Perhaps this matter is related to the collective departure of the senior deacons of Kama Taj not long ago and the prisoners in the dungeon. Are you willing to provide any clues?"

"I thought you couldn't remember information you don't need." The emperor waved his hand back, indicating that Hammurabi and Amon did not need to follow. The emperor pulled up a chair and sat next to Sherlock Holmes, placing a small toolbox next to the astronomical telescope. "There is a connection, but you don't need to know."

"reason?"

"Because you are too smart." There are not too many mystics in the observatory. After all, astrology is a very complicated course, and many apprentices arrange it between other courses. In addition, the course progress of all apprentices is different and the temperature has dropped sharply recently. Except for those who specialize in astrology and celestial magic, there will basically not be many apprentices staying in this almost freezing place for a long time.

"Compared to Stephen Strange, your logical reasoning ability, abstract conception ability, imagination and curiosity need to be limited. You must know where to use your talents, otherwise sooner or later you will end up with something that cannot be used. The details of common sense explanation drive myself crazy. The outer dimension is not a rational place. I think Mordo told you that the magic we use is just to use the energy of the outer dimension in a way that humans can understand, and then achieve the purpose of manipulating reality. ."

"You cannot limit human curiosity," said Sherlock Holmes. "You will next tell me about the prisoners because you want to divert my curiosity without giving a reason why outer dimensions cannot be explored. "

"I will satisfy your curiosity, because the two are the same thing." The emperor skillfully opened the tool box, picked up the brushes, gears, grease and other tools inside, and placed them neatly aside, " They are being judged because they have wrongly used extradimensional energy and caused harm by creating cultists and cult groups, manufacturing addictive drugs, conducting illegal human experiments, and dangerous summoning of spirits, etc. Using magic to plunder property, confuse mortals, and enjoy wealth and lust may be the lightest of all crimes. You can compare the crimes I mentioned with the legal sentencing in the secular world."

"I understand, a legal system that conforms to social ethics."

"You can say that a generally good society will not teach ordinary people how to make RDX and methamphetamine, because curiosity is likely to cause some trouble when exposed to this knowledge. For extradimensional, this is a The result is certain, regardless of subjective will or not." The emperor motioned Sherlock Holmes to step back, "This astronomical telescope has not been repaired for more than a hundred years, so I dare say that all the stars you see are wrong."

"Why?"

"Because of this." The emperor reached out and unscrewed the eyepiece, and forcefully unscrewed the eyepiece mouthpiece. As he moved, the long pale pink coelenterate-like creature was pulled out forcibly. Sherlock Holmes was horrified to find that the flesh had several deformed human eyes of different sizes and several thin, without The mouth of his throat, which was full of tiny teeth, was filled with a complete human eyeball where the magnifying glass was. He even fell off the chair in fear.

"When you observe the starry sky, all the information you get is filtered by it. Only one star in the Ursa Minor has changed in brightness, not three." The emperor's flesh and blood twisted crazily like an earthworm, those Small screams kept coming from the deformed mouth. "In fact, the information you get is based on the information cocoon prepared by others for you, but you still don't know it and are confident that you are not wrong. Do you still have this confidence now?"

"A very good educational tool." Sherlock Holmes raised his hand, "Get rid of this thing quickly."

"No, this is yours. Otherwise, why do you think I would bring the tool box here?" The emperor shrugged and threw the mucus-covered coelenterate next to him. "There are instructions in the tool box. Remember to repair it before tomorrow evening. Finished, you are not the only one here who needs to use the astronomical telescope. By the way, is Stephen Strange still in the apprentice dormitory? "

As the Emperor said to Mordo, although he regards Sherlock Holmes and Stephen Strange as tools, it does not mean that he does not care whether the tools are useful. The former's talent is much higher than that of the latter, but his shortcomings are equally obvious, that is, his curiosity and inspiration are too high, and his persistence in exploring some unreasonable details will pull him into the abyss of madness.

Compared to Sherlock Holmes, who is still full of confidence, Stephen Strange is much more honest - because he tried to read the magic book that the mystic apprentice could not get into, Mordo monitored and censored him very strictly, and the emperor He even found that the pain caused by whipping was no less than that of his still disabled hands - he could no longer wear the hanging ring until he proved that he was not tainted by knowledge. This was for Stephen Strange, who wanted to cure himself. Said to be the most severe punishment.
