Belkan and Cheese walked slowly towards the main road, talking at the same time.
"About six or seven years ago, Wanfa had not reached the scale it is today. Not long after the big library was completed, books were still being moved and collected. At that time, we actively solicited books from the outside world. Different from today's standards, the big library at that time
The library is open to all spellcasters, whether witch doctors or
Prescriptions are still whispers heard by drunks. As long as they are related to magic and knowledge, we will accept them. Those were a period of vitality. My classmates and I were still apprentices at that time and could only do some chores, but every day we
Life was full. Then came the dark years."
"Dark Years?" Cheese was curious about the gray robe mentioned by the other party, but he was not urgent because he didn't think Belkan had really seen his fellow sect members. At most, they were just other spellcasters wearing gray robes.
"Yes. I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, many demons and devil's books were mixed into the books we collected, as well as scrolls made of human skin, and prayers of evil gods. They triggered one after another.
During the chaos, the mages of the Mystery School suffered heavy losses during that period, and they have not been able to fully recover to this day.
The only apprentice of the designer of the Guardian Golem you just saw also died during those years. The invaders tore out his brain and burned his study, which directly led to the serious destruction of their lineage of knowledge.
Destroyed. It was not until the School of Life showed extraordinary resistance to those evil witchcraft that the dark years gradually dispersed."
In a few words, a terrifying time was presented in front of Cheese.
Any spell caster may not know the consequences of coming into contact with those forbidden knowledge, but he knows very well that if the evil god's classics are studied by mages, what they get will definitely not be real knowledge, but some kind of evil and dangerous knowledge.
gift.
Those evil gods are like poisonous insects hiding in the shadows. Once the venom they bring enters the human body, it cannot be easily removed.
"How long did that period last? Two years? Or three years?" As an expert in fighting evil gods, Cheese roughly estimated in his mind the time it would take to clean up the City of Ten Thousand Laws if it was infiltrated by a cult.
According to the usual thinking, mages with more independent thinking ability should be less susceptible to the temptation of forbidden knowledge than ordinary people. However, as a spell caster, Gray Robe also knows that that does not mean that mages will not be affected.

On the contrary, precisely because of his independent thinking habit, once a mage goes astray, the consequences will be far more serious than ordinary people. Therefore, even if Wanfa responds immediately, he believes that it will take several years to clean up the impact.
time.
"Three years? No, not that long. The dark years only lasted for six months. Although everyone hardly dared to sleep during those six months, we did survive. Six months later, all the books in question and
All the mages whose thoughts had been corrupted were dealt with, and there have been no similar problems since then. Thanks to that experience, we are now much stricter in the review and management of books."
Belkan shook his head and replied.
"Six months..." Cheese frowned slightly, but it was quickly concealed. Belkan mentioned that these might be just meaningless chats, and he might be introducing the history of the City of Ten Thousand Laws to Cheese.
An episode may contain exaggerated and untrue parts.
But with the mages' persistence in the accuracy of things, the other party should not lie about the time issue. In other words, the City of Ten Thousand Laws did solve the problem of evil gods in the city within six months, or at least made decisive progress.
Let most people think that the problem disappears after six months.
Is this a good thing? Gray Robe does not deny the professionalism of the spell casters here, but six months, is it really?
"Sorry, I'm a little off topic. You know, we don't like to talk about things during that period, so people here always keep silent about it. But I think it is this kind of suffering that makes this city united and united.
Tenacity. Various schools of thought put aside their prejudices in the face of difficulties and worked closely together to perform their respective duties. Without those years, we wouldn’t be what we are today. Oh, sorry, I’m starting again. What I actually want to tell you is, uh
, what’s coming from?”
"Grey robe. You said you have seen other mages wearing gray robes." Belkan had no ill intentions, and what he said did give people a subversive understanding of the city, so Cheese didn't mind him.
Off topic.
"Yes, Gray Robe, that was before the dark days. One of the people I worked with was a man who had just been promoted to a mage. He was a student of the same instructor as me, and we had a very good relationship. Once again
He told me while eating that a man in gray robe came to the library and he gave us a book.
Shortly after leaving, the mage responsible for the reception and preliminary examination showed an extremely excited mood, but he was quickly controlled. After investigation afterwards, no one had seen any mage in gray robe. The person who told me this story
I didn't see it with my own eyes, I just heard his nonsense while helping the poor guy."
"What happened to that person? It was the receptionist who claimed to have seen the gray robe." Cheese asked indifferently. He knew very well that no one of his classmates would deliberately do such a prank.
"I don't know about this. After all, I'm just hearing about it. Maybe he left, maybe he recovered. Such stories at that time were not a hundred but eighty. I remember it because he said that the man in gray robes mentioned by the receptionist
, the robe on his body is not really gray, but has many changing patterns, all the time
Keep moving. It sounds like the hallucination you would see after eating hallucinogenic mushrooms. Ah, I am not joking with your robe, I just happened to remember it and wanted to use it to find an opportunity to talk to you.
You see, you and Mrs. Wynette are very close, she is even willing to hold a meeting for you, so I want to make a friend with you."
Cheese smiled and didn't seem angry at the little story the other party told.
"Well, actually you don't have to spend so much trouble. I'm happy to make one more friend. Oh, by the way, it's also purely out of curiosity. After reading the book you just mentioned,
How will books that cause hallucinations be treated? Are they the same as those demonic books?"
"Of course not. In any case, books are precious resources. Besides, books with magic are as precious as books recording magic. In addition, we have not completely destroyed the devil's books. After all, devils still need to
Things to deal with, so just classify them
Strictly manage them. Unless they are extremely powerful demonic books or documents about evil gods, they will be handled confidentially. I heard that every such book requires the top leaders of the school to sit down alone to discuss its handling.
Method. The devil and the evil god are still different."
Belkan replied briskly.
"Yes, it is indeed different. Oh, the library is here, do you want to go in? Or will you go to the institute?"
"I will go back to the institute first. The acting director still has a lot to do. If you have the opportunity in the future, you are welcome to come to me. The institute I am in is the Muse Institute, which is a collection of many small institutes.
Hard to find.”
