On Dawn Island, Marianne asked in a low voice to the little dragonfly suspended in mid-air next to her.
At this time, for the sake of convenience, Garonn had reduced his body shape and transformed into the form of a harmless young dragon. After hearing the caster's question, he calmly replied: "Garonn Aurelion, the leader of the dragon clan.
An ordinary member.”
ordinary.
"Lord Garen is joking, if you are an ordinary real dragon."
"Then what kind of dragons can be called extraordinary and special? Maybe only those dragon gods."
Although Marian had never heard of Garen's name before, her performance of killing three legendary sea monsters in an instant and making all the spellcasters on the island confused was enough to know that this person
The true dragon from the alien world is unfathomable.
Next.
Marian took Garen on a tour around Dawn Island.
Garen saw that the island, which had just been devastated by legendary sea monsters and storms, began to rebuild at an extremely fast speed under the spells of spellcasters.
Strong winds rolled up pieces of tree debris, and flames melted earth, stone, and steel to form brand new houses.
Those cultivated fields that were destroyed by the storm were able to use the wind of revival. With just a gentle blow, the dead agricultural plants came back to life and were full of vitality.
Noticed Garen's gaze.
Marianne smiled softly and said: "We Alpha people provide ourselves with food, shelter, etc. by controlling magic. Thanks to the power of magic, even in a remote place like Dawn Island, the lives of the residents are very prosperous."
The young dragon flapped its short wings and hovered in mid-air.
Garen turned to look at Marianne, thought for a moment, and said, "What about the people in your empire who do not have the talent to cast spells?"
Marianne considered the language and replied: "The vast majority of the Alpha people have certain spell-casting abilities. As for those who do not have magical talents, their duty is to serve the spell-casters."
"In the history of the empire, all kings and great heroes are unparalleled spellcasters."
In a matter-of-fact tone, Marianne continued: "In the tradition of our Alphatia Empire, there are no magic talents. To be honest, they are worthless in our opinion, but as long as there is a little bit, even the most superficial magic
Ability is enough to become a noble."
Garen nodded thoughtfully.
In this regard, the Alphatia Empire is somewhat similar to Netheril.
They are also empires built entirely on magic. The status of spellcasters is supreme. Whether or not they have the ability to cast spells determines a person's status in the empire.
In this kind of magic empire, ordinary people without magical talents, no matter how unwilling they are to accept the status quo, cannot resist the power of spellcasters, they can only drift with the flow and let themselves be manipulated.
"If you put it this way, I guess your empire should have two sets of laws."
"One is for spell casters, and the other is for ordinary people."
Garen said slowly.
Marianne looked surprised, looked at the little silver baby dragon, and said: "Your Excellency Gallon, you are right, I don't know how you guessed it?"
Garen shook his head and said calmly: "As a traveler, I have been to the world of planes and stars, and I have seen a magic empire similar to yours."
"Similar to our empire?"
Marianne asked curiously: "I don't know whether the magic empire you mentioned is stronger or weaker than our Alpha Tiya."
Garen thought about it carefully and said: "Your overall strength is stronger, but when it comes to creativity and specific application of spells, you are not as good as that Magic Empire."
The wind and fire spells of the Alphatia Empire still focus on destruction and destruction in Garen's opinion.
In comparison.
The arcane masters of Netheril are much more versatile. The spell system covers all aspects of the package. Any problem can be solved with spells. If the old spells don't work, then create new spells.
At the very least.
Spells like the Ascension Spell cannot be created by spellcasters from the Alphatia Empire.
After hearing Garen say that the Alphatia Empire was inferior to other magic empires, even if it was only in one aspect, Marianne still subconsciously wanted to refute and argue, but was interrupted by Garen's question.
Garen raised his head and stared beyond the sky.
"Are the planets surrounding this world also part of the Alphatia Empire?"
Marianne also raised her head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.
Her eyes could not see directly into the sky.
However, Marianne understood what Gallon was referring to.
Being able to directly see the satellite world in front of Garen with the naked eye, Marianne became even more solemn.
She replied: "Yes, those are the eighteen satellite worlds of the empire, and they are also the locations of many magic academies. I once studied wind magic in the magic academy of a satellite world."
"As for the planet you are on right now, it is the main planet of the Empire."
Marianne is now a spellcaster on an overseas island.
But she is not a native Dawn Island resident.
Dawn Island was a small piece of territory assigned to her by the corresponding departments of the empire when she graduated from the Magic Academy.
"Magic Academy? Tell me carefully about your Magic Academy."
"I am also a spell caster and have studied a lot of magic. Maybe I can go and communicate and learn more about it later."
After hearing Galen's words, Marianne whispered: "As you wish."
Immediately, she led Garen to stop in a tall hall that was still intact, and while ordering the island residents to serve drinks and food, she explained what she knew about the magic academy.
"In the culture of our empire, the Academy of Magic occupies a prominent place."
"Almost every spellcaster, including the great emperor, will spend an important time in the magic academy during their growth."
As she spoke, Marianne peeled open a prickly black fruit and put the tender white flesh inside into the little dragon's mouth.
This maid-like gesture can be said to have given Garen great respect.
Galleon was not polite and ate it in one bite.
The taste is sweet and crispy, juicy and tastes pretty good.
At the same time, Marianne continued: "There are many magic academies in the empire, but they all boil down to only two categories."
"There is an academy called Glory of the Sky, which studies wind magic. I graduated from the Glory of the Sky Academy."
"As for the other category."
"Their name is the Flame Command Academy of Universal Truth. Those fire spells that are so irritable and irritable that their brains are burned by flames come from the Flame Command Academy."
Marianne opened another purple scallop with a faint halo, revealing the tender meat that was squirming inside, as if in panic.
"Sir Garon, this is the Screaming Shell, a specialty delicacy from the waters around Dawn Island."
"Try it first."
Garen looked at the shell flesh that was wriggling like tiny waves, took the screaming shell from Marianne's hand, brought it to his mouth, rolled his dexterous tongue, and sucked it into his mouth.
grumble!
As if he was extremely frightened, a rather sharp and harsh sound sounded in Garen's mouth.
The shellfish meat is very delicious, and the squealing sound when chewing is unique.
“Tastes good.”
Garen praised him.
Marianne smiled and said, "As long as you like it, Your Excellency."
Immediately, while enjoying the delicious food in Garon, Marianne continued to talk about the magic academy.
"The spellcasters of Kongzhiguangguang Academy are also called wind worshipers."
"The spell casters of Flame Dominion Academy are called Fire Worshipers."
"."
Gradually, Garen learned more about the Magic Academy of the Alphatia Empire.
What is more noteworthy is that through Marianne's story, Garen keenly discovered that the two types of magic academies, Glory of the Sky and Flame Dominance, are not so much physical academy organizations, but rather a kind of ideological dogma and a kind of spellcasting.
A particular religion or sect that a person believes in.
It is said to be a college, but it has a religious-like model.
Spellcasters like Marianne are proud of their own house, and have a strange sense of pride in looking down on another house.
"From your tone, it seems that you have a certain prejudice and hostility towards the Flame Command Academy."
During the break between Marianne's story, Gallon said.
Marianne's voice paused slightly, and then she said seriously to Galen: "Your Excellency, if you have had in-depth communication with fire magic, you will know that everything I said is true."
"As intelligent spellcasters, they only tend to blow up and burn everything that gets in their way. They are just a bunch of brainless fools."
Gallon was noncommittal.
"The Glory of the Sky Academy has an ancient heritage and is the original spellcaster of the Alphatia Empire. It has witnessed the establishment of the Alphatia Empire from scratch and has a history of nearly ten thousand years."
"The entire galaxy, including the main star and satellites, was originally a cold and dead vacuum, but is now filled with breathable wind, allowing the empire's space fleet to travel freely, thanks to the great wind magic."
"In comparison, what did the fire mages do?"
"The Flame Command Academy has only been around for a few hundred years. What it has done, apart from competing for students with our Sky Glory Academy and provoking troubles from time to time, it has made no further contribution to the empire."
When it comes to the opposition between wind and fire, Marianne becomes a little radical.
In front of an unfathomable distinguished guest like Garen, she couldn't help her subjective emotions and directly rebuked the fire method.
Before that, Marian gave Garen the impression that he was a rational and gentle spellcaster.
"The influence of the religious academic faction on these spellcasters can already be seen."
Even a rational and gentle spell caster like Marianne will bring strong emotions when mentioning fire spells. The attitudes of those spell casters with more radical personalities towards the opposing schools are even more evident.
"The future demise of the Alphatia Empire is probably inseparable from this deep-rooted religious academic faction."
Garen thought silently.
Before leaving this remote island, Garen saw the huge hidden danger hidden under the glory of the Alphatia Empire through the future he knew and combined with what Marianne said at this time.
It's like solving a puzzle.
The more information Garen learned, the closer he felt to the truth about the demise of the Alphatia Empire.
"However, the conflict in the Magic Academy is so serious that the imperial royal family should not be unaware of it."
"Then the question is, what is the trigger for the world-destroying battle between wind and fire?"
Garen calmed down, looked at Marianne, and asked: "Where is the emperor of your Alphatia Empire? Does he inherit the ancient style?"
Marianne's expression was stupefied.
After hesitating for a while, he said unwillingly: "His Majesty Alphax, who is infinitely wise, is one of the honorary deans of the Flame Command School. He graduated from the Flame Command Academy and is a fire magician."
Devalued the rival academy for so long.
As a result, her emperor turned out to be a mindless fire magician as Marian said. In Garon's somewhat strange look, Marianne hurriedly added: "His Majesty Alfax is wise and powerful, completely different from ordinary fire magicians."
"You don't know that before His Majesty Alfax, the previous emperors were all Fengfa."
"We wind magicians all believe that His Majesty Alfax only chose to learn fire magic in order to appease the emerging fire magicians."
"Furthermore, although His Majesty Alfax graduated from the Flame Command Academy and is a fire mage, he has never publicly stated his support for the Flame Command and treats the Sky Glory Academy and the Flame Command Academy equally."
It sounds reasonable.
However, the more Marianne explained, the more Garen felt that the Fire Emperor did not necessarily treat the two academies equally as she said.
At this time, Marianne also noticed her excitement.
Showing an apologetic look at Garen, Marian whispered: "Your Excellency Garen, I made you laugh. Every time I think about what the fire mages did, I can't control my emotions."
Garen waved his little dragon claw and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, you can help me understand the degree of opposition between the two spellcasters of wind and fire."
Immediately.
Marianne paused her story and presented Gallon with a small, brown, oval-shaped fruit.
"What's this?"
Garon's nose moved slightly, and he smelled a unique light fragrance on this small fruit. The strange thing was that although it was a delicate fragrance, it also had a strong allure.
"Brown coffee fruit, a magical fruit that is now popular on the main star and satellite worlds."
"Many spellcasters love to inhale the aroma released when this fruit is broken. It can make the caster energetic and think sharply. Do you want to try it?"
Galleons:.
There was a faint light in his eyes, and he looked at the brown coffee fruit in Marianne's hand.
The composition of this fruit is invisible to the eyes of Garonde, who can understand the rules of the operation of all things.
Just for a moment, the light in Garen's eyes dimmed again.
"It will intoxicate the weak-minded spellcaster."
"Are you sure it's not contraband?"
Marianne shook her head and said: "The royal family of the empire has a special palm fruit industry. Even the nobles who are the Supreme Law will enjoy the palm fruit. There is no big problem."
Due to its ability to control the power of magic, the Alphatia Empire is rich in resources.
This has also led to spellcasters only needing to use magic occasionally to solve problems, which has led to an empty mentality, and brown coffee fruit has the magic power to fill this emptiness.
According to Marianne, most of the officials in the Alphatiya Empire recognized the circulation of brown coffee fruit in the world.
Even many nobles would hold banquets for this purpose, inviting relatives and friends to enjoy the brown coffee fruit together.
This has formed a culture in the Alphatian Empire.
"Is this the ultimate fall from glory?"
Garen shook his head slightly and thought in his heart.
The authorities are confused and can see clearly that in Marian's eyes, things that are normal, in Garon's eyes, are all sharp thorns buried under the glorious appearance of this empire.
Time passes gradually.
Garen stayed at Dawn Island for about a week.
Through communication with Marianne, Garen learned a lot more about the Alphatian Empire.
And he came here mainly for two purposes.
The first is to satisfy one's curiosity and see how this once powerful magic empire perished due to internal strife.
The second is to collect fire method inheritance and use it to develop your own fire method dependent clan.
With these two purposes in mind, Galen came up with an idea.
In the breeze of the sea, the silver baby dragon, accompanied by Marianne, was half lying on the beach at the edge of the island, bathing in the pale golden sunshine.
After thinking for a while, Garen turned his head and asked the spellcaster beside him: "Marian, will your empire's magic academy accept a real dragon as its instructor?"
After hearing Garen's words, Marian's eyes lit up and she said: "Of course, the empire respects all intelligent creatures with the ability to cast spells."
"If you wish, you can even apply to become an official citizen of the Alphatian Empire."
Garen grinned and said, "That's good."
The Magic Academy has a very high status in the Alphatia Empire, and is a key factor in the War of Wind and Fire. In addition, as an academy, there must be magic inheritance in it.
Therefore, Garen planned to go to the Magic Academy first.
Marianne looked at Garen and said softly: "The Flame Command Academy is not suitable for a wise dragon like you. I can recommend you to the Glory of the Sky Academy where I graduated. The Fengfa will welcome you to join."
As a member of Fengfa.
Marianne naturally recommends Sky Glory Academy.
Garen shook his head, neither agreed nor refused, but said slowly: "I am not interested in the conflict between your wind method and fire method."
Marianne realized that this mysterious dragon had his own decision, so she said no more.
"If you don't mind, I can report your situation to the imperial envoy."
"There is a department in our empire specially set up for visitors from other worlds."
"Because there are actually many precedents for visitors from other worlds like you who are interested in magic schools. The messenger will take you to choose a suitable magic school based on your situation."
Garen nodded and said calmly: "Okay."
Ordinary visitors from other worlds would be wary and fearful when hearing such a special envoy from a department, but Garen was different. Just two simple words revealed strong confidence and confidence.
"By the way, there is a Sky Glory Academy on Satellite 10 and a Flame Control Academy on Satellite 7, with a member of your race serving as the dean."
"They have joined the empire and are also one of the three thousand supreme laws of the Imperial Parliament, and their hierarchical sequence is also among the best among all the supreme laws."
Marian said to Garen.
Hearing this, Jia Long's eyes moved slightly.
"What kind of dragon do they belong to?"
Garen asked.
Ranked among the best among the supreme laws of the Alphatia Empire.
Most likely it is a demigod creature.
Marian thought for a while and said: "I don't know very well. I only know that these two dragon species of the Supreme Dragon are quite special. Their appearance is said to be as gorgeous as a rainbow, and they are good at controlling the light of magic."
As brilliant as a rainbow.
Light magic.
It was just two simple characteristics, but when combined, it made Garen couldn't help but feel slightly moved.
