Chapter 262 Magicians and magicians, the battle between the old and the new in the magic world! (2/4)
"..."
Violet?
Zhuang Yuan was silent for a moment.
The Daluo Dynasty discriminated against them.
However, joining the Violet Empire and helping other empires to harm the Daluo Dynasty?
He doesn't like to do this kind of thing.
And he hates war.
Using human lives for human experiments can yield valuable knowledge.
What can you gain by starting a war with human lives?
A meaningless aristocratic activity.
Therefore, after graduating from Nanjiang Main School, as the best student of that batch, he did not choose to accept recruitment from various countries to become a palace magician like other students, but stayed and became a teacher.
When he graduated that year, the academy was still very pure, at least on the surface it was very pure, unlike now, where it is almost openly taking sides and choosing to intervene in the struggles between countries.
But things are different now.
The world is changing.
The pure land without the flames of war will soon disappear completely.
Not just countries, but also... colleges.
"Mr. Yan, what do you want to say when you come to me?"
Zhuang Yuan looked at the white-gold robe on Yan Chengping's body and asked softly.
"You should understand."
Yan Chengping chuckled lightly, stood up, opened his hands, turned around in a circle, and showed Zhuang Yuan the entirety of the platinum robe.
"A major change that has not happened in the magic world for four thousand years has arrived, and the battle between the new school of magicians and the old school of magicians is about to break out completely."
"Ninth Palace level magicians will be affected, and magician apprentices who are less than one yuan level will also be affected."
"Zhuang Yuan, we can't stay out of this."
"Believe me."
Yan Chengping, who was wearing a platinum robe, looked at Zhuang Yuan seriously, "The white robe is newer than the black robe, and also more...powerful than it."
"..."
Zhuang Yuan looked at this platinum robe and was silent for a long time.
The black color is respected in the magic world.
Xuan, black.
That’s why conjurers like to wear black robes.
The teacher uniforms of the Conjuration Academy are also all black in base, but in order to indicate their status, some gold threads are used to embroider other patterns to become black and gold robes.
This is tradition.
However, the clothes worn by Yan Chengping, a five-element-level conjurer, were a "strange and abnormal" white-gold robe.
High-end fabrics as white as clouds, cuffs and hem embroidered with gold thread, and a gold round emblem on the collar of the base white shirt.
A white gold robe that is completely different from the traditional black robe.
White robe, black robe.
This represents the battle between the new school and the old school.
The old school, that is, the traditional magician.
The core members of the old school of conjurers are basically the senior executives of the Conjuring Academy.
The new sect emerged in the past thousand years.
They are not the top leaders of the Conjuration Academy, but are composed of many court conjurers, with the secret support of various royal families behind them.
The leader among them was the court magician of the Violet Empire.
These people call themselves magicians, not conjurers.
They believe that the word "curse" used by magicians is completely decadent, old and should not be owned.
According to ancient legends, in ancient times, when curse spirits were ravaging the world, when spellcasters first appeared, they needed to obtain inspiration and knowledge from the curse spirits in order to develop a variety of spells.
Therefore, the technique is called "curse" technique.
So the conjurer calls himself a "curse" magician.
However, the history of the old era has long been broken.
Therefore, this sentence is just a legend that cannot be researched.
The old school of magicians regard this legend as truth to show the origin of the magicians who never forget their original intention.
However, the new school of magicians do not admit this statement at all.
The new school of magicians believes that the power of magicians comes from natural laws and knowledge. They observe the rules of the world, learn the rules of the world, control the rules of the world, and thereby gain the power of the rules of the world.
As for spell development?
That is their own accumulation of knowledge. What does it have to do with the cursed spirit?
On this point, both the new school and the old school are pretty much the same.
Learn the magic spirit?
It has long been a thing of the past.
After thousands of years of development, with the knowledge reserve of the magic world, it is actually no longer necessary to obtain inspiration from magic spirits.
Generations of spellcasters.
The genius of the magician is getting better and better with every generation.
Through the combination and innovation of existing spells, they have developed one amazing and amazing original spell after another, many of which are even more magical and powerful than the powers of the spell spirits.
Therefore, the new school of magicians proposed to cancel the word "curse" and all the magicians around the world should be called magicians instead.
The old school completely disagreed.
The core members of the old school and the senior officials of the School of Conjuration strongly opposed this proposal.
Once the name is changed, is it possible that the conjuration academy that has been established for thousands of years also needs to be renamed?
It seems that the reason for the quarrels and factions is over the name.
but……
This is an adult world.
Adults, why would they quarrel just because of a name?
Of course not because of the name!
The dispute between the new sect and the old sect, whether the conjurers and sorcerers should change their names, is essentially the confrontation between the old forces and the emerging forces!
As the overlord of the world of magic, even for thousands of years before that, the words "school of magic" were almost synonymous with the words "world of magic".
The Conjuration Academy occupies 90% of the resources in the conjuring world!
However, times have changed.
As the kingdoms joined, more and more court magicians were working for the kings. The court magicians were unwilling to accept their current status, and the kings coveted the power of the magicians and wanted to completely take it for themselves.
then.
A new school of magicians was gradually born.
They seem to be proposing to remove the word "curse", but in fact they are trying to break up the existing power structure in the magic world, break up all the old forces, and reorganize their own party forces in the name of magicians!
Once the conjurer really changes his name to a conjurer, then a large number of conjurers will understand one thing.
——The old-school magicians in the academy are no match for the new-school magicians, otherwise they wouldn’t be forced to change their names.
Is the new school better than the old school?
This is a fatal signal.
"..."
Zhuang Yuan looked at the platinum robe Yan Chengping was wearing with a solemn expression.
The battle between the new school and the old school is a struggle for power.
He can guarantee that if the School of Conjuration really agrees to change its name, then the next day, the School of Conjuration, which has been established for thousands of years, will fall apart, the old forces will be disintegrated by the new faction, and the world of Conjuration will be a complete mirror from its original state.
, completely shattered into countless pieces.
Break the old order and give birth to a new order.
In this process, those who were high in the past may fall into the dust, and those who were humble before may trample all sentient beings.
This is like a war between nations. Some people hate and fear it, while others yearn for the opportunities hidden in it.
But……
Can the world of magic, which is broken into pieces and fights for each other, really be able to resist the encroachment of the different blood warriors? Can it really be able to resist the enslavement of the princes?
Now, the world of magic is higher than other countries.
Even the court magician is an equal to the royal family and only has a cooperative relationship.
What can happen later?
Once a magician becomes a magician, loses the school of magic, and loses the support of the magic world as a whole, they will most likely become dogs of the princes.
Zhuang Yuan understands this truth.
Even the old school conjurers knew it.
New magicians...of course they understand too!
There are so many smart people in the world, and Zhuang Yuan is not the only one. The new-school magicians are not fools either!
But they just want to initiate the reform of magicians, no matter the risk, no matter the risk of becoming the lackeys of the kings, they also want to overthrow the old order, stand up and call the shots, pull the old antiques from the School of Conjuration from the top of power, and sit on it themselves!
Zhuang Yuan can completely guess the thoughts of the top brass of the new school of magicians.
Disintegrate the School of Magic, establish your own power, rebuild a "School of Magic", and turn the world of magic into the world of magicians.
The happy ending in their fantasy is that the conjurer becomes a conjurer, the conjuring academy becomes a conjuring academy, and nothing changes.
The only thing that has changed is that the big shots at the top have become themselves.
Can the dreamy happy ending really become a reality?
Behind the new sect of magicians are the various countries, the princes, and some countries in the Western Continent including the Violet Empire.
How to block the School of Conjuration?
Can't stop it.
So they also need to gain support from other countries.
In fact, this is the fundamental reason why the Conjuring Academy no longer maintains neutrality and instead intervenes in the wars of various countries.
But……
"But I don't understand."
Zhuang Yuan leaned back on his seat, looked at Yan Chengping in front of him, and said curiously: "I'm just a five-element-level conjurer, what's the use of you looking for me? The dispute between the new school and the old school cannot be changed by a little person like me."
"Of course you can help." Yan Chengping smiled.
"My 'upper body' technique?"
Zhuang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"right!"
Yan Chengping's smile became even brighter, "Mr. Zhuang, it's such a pity for you to be a teacher because of your innate skills. The platform for you to show off your skills should be in a bigger place. Your innate skills are just for spying."
The best choice, you were born to be a spy!"
"Well, maybe."
Zhuang Yuan didn't react at all, but said calmly: "Speaking of which, Mr. Yan, I think... the person looking for me is probably not the Violet Council.
I don't have that much face and usefulness yet.
The only ones looking for me are you, Mr. Yan, and some of your friends, right?"
Zhuang Yuan looked calm.
If the top leaders of the Violet Council really needed him, then he shouldn't be chatting with Yan Chengping in the conference room of the Soul Mantra Prison.
It can be released a long time ago.
Therefore, Yan Chengping and his gang are just a small group that wants to take a share of the battle between the old and the new. The top leader is probably only about seven stars.
"So we are a partnership."
Yan Chengping did not deny it, but looked at Zhuang Yuan seriously, "Together, we will gain a higher status in the Violet Parliament. When the new faction wins, we will get more benefits!"
"it is a pity."
Zhuang Yuan shook his head slightly, "The Magic Heavenly Prison is the territory of the Magic Academy, and it is something that the old school of magic masters firmly control. And obviously, you don't have the ability to get me out of here, so
…”
"Come in."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Chengping suddenly interrupted.
Immediately afterwards.
The door to the conference room was opened, and a young male spellcaster at the level of four elephants walked in.
"Spiritual Curse Heavenly Prison, does it really matter whether you go out or not?"
Yan Chengping looked at Zhuang Yuan with a smile, "What about using his body? Or should I change it to a more handsome one?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhuang Yuan looked at him doubtfully.
"No need to hide it."
Yan Chengping smiled and said, "I know that your 'upper body' technique can be used directly in the prison regardless of the constraints of the magic spell."
"..."
Zhuang Yuan's face instantly darkened, "How did you know?"
"I have our methods, and I know more."
Yan Chengping walked up to Zhuang Yuan, patted his shoulder with a smile, leaned down, and chuckled in his ear: "I also know that you deceived the polygraph test of the Conjuring Academy and used the natural magic technique.
Ability, told nine truths and one lie.
Oh, by the way, why not make it up completely? Maybe... your method is, you can't tell too many lies? You can only tell one or two sentences? "
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yuan was completely expressionless.
He used forbidden magic to transform his soul, and through this mutated soul, he successfully deceived the lie detector.
But he can't tell too many lies. One sentence is the limit.
This sentence is the establishment of soul-to-soul friendship in the upper body technique.
He said that once his technique takes over the body of "Li Si", the soul connection established with the previous person "Zhang San" will be disconnected, and it will no longer be able to take over the body of "Zhang San".
He lied.
In fact, unless he spends more than ten minutes with "John Doe", the soul connection established between him and "Zhang San" will not be broken.
This is also the reason why he can still get in touch with Chen Yue.
That day, the people from the Soul Curse Prison brought a death row prisoner and asked him to show it.
Not only for confirmation, but also to make him, the last upper body person involved in the upper body technique, disappear to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
He tried.
Then within two minutes of upper body, he withdrew from the upper body, and the death row prisoner was subsequently executed.
Just two minutes.
He quickly restored his soul connection with Chen Yue.
Originally, he planned to control Chen Yue to kill the 300,000 people in Leicheng in a few days, gather the soul power, reshape the killing soul and repair the soul, and use it to restore Chen Yue's Five Elements level cultivation.
A five-element-level conjurer and the resentment of 300,000 innocent people who died in vain, the two together can barely be used as sacrifices in the summoning array to summon the arrival of Teacher Ying Xiao.
There is at least a 50% success rate.
Once Teacher Ying Xiao really comes, with Teacher Ying Xiao's help, he will definitely be able to escape from the Magical Heavenly Prison.
He never thought about controlling Chen Yue to hunt down Li Guanqi during this period, and didn't even bother to arrange the dark ritual.
Because all he could think about was using Chen Yue to sacrifice, summon the teacher, and let himself escape from prison first.
Revenge against one's enemies is not as important as regaining one's own freedom.
As for Li Guanqi?
He originally wanted to keep him until he escaped from prison, and then kill him with his own hands!
After all, by then, he would be charged with escaping from prison and no longer had to worry about the charge of a teacher killing a student.
It's just that, despite all calculations, it's still a mistake.
His plan is even coming to fruition!
The plan to use Bai Yang's guilt and use Qin Lubai's hands to eradicate Bai Yang was his idea!
It’s only a dozen days, just a dozen days!
He only needs to wait for Qin Lubai to kill Bai Yang, and he will be done. He can use Five Elements level Chen Yue and 300,000 dead people as sacrifices to summon Teacher Ying Xiao to come!
But.
Falling short of success.
He couldn't figure out why Li Guanqi went to Leicheng, and he couldn't figure out why that kid took Chi Gongming with him!
But as soon as Chi Gongming came, especially after Chi Gongming approached Qin Lubai, he knew that there was absolutely no chance of success.
He had no choice but to stop the loss in time, destroy the research data in the secret room, and then control Chen Yue to commit suicide, reluctantly destroying the last body in the outside world.
No matter how many times I calculated, I couldn't imagine this bizarre scene.
At this point, he had resigned himself to his fate and decided to quietly go to jail for twenty years... But now, Yan Chengping is here.
How to choose?
Zhuang Yuan raised his head and looked at the man wearing a platinum robe in front of him.
Join them?
In this way, he can indeed gain access to others, return to the outside world, regain the opportunity to be free, and continue his research.
But the price is to be involved in the dispute between the old and new factions in the magic world. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces.
give up?
That's a full twenty-year sentence.
And... at that kid's growth rate, how far can he grow in twenty years?
Can't wait any longer.
"I join you."
Zhuang Yuan looked at Yan Chengping and said solemnly: "But, I have a condition."
"Actually, you have no choice. You must join us."
Yan Chengping smiled and said: "After all, if you can hide the lie detector test once, is it possible that you can hide it several times in the future?"
Zhuang Yuan's face was expressionless.
He knew it.
Once he chooses to refuse, these people will definitely tell the Soul Curse Prison about his concealment of the polygraph test.
"However, you can also mention your conditions."
Yan Chengping smiled again and said: "We are cooperating, and I also hope to become friends with you. After all, the 'dismemberer' Zhuang Yuan of the Southern Xinjiang Headquarters was well-known back then."
"Who is your team leader? How high is your cultivation level? Can you help me kill people?" Zhuang Yuan's voice was cold and straight to the point.
"Forehead……"
Yan Chengping's expression froze.
Then he said with a slight embarrassment: "Ahem, I am the Five Elements level Dzogchen. Do you think I am demanding enough?"
Zhuang Yuan was stunned.
Are you kidding me?
Yan Chengping is the leader of this gang?!
A group that is at the highest level of Five Elements Dzogchen, also wants to take a share of the battle between the old and the new in the world of magic?!
A group of nine-level people are eating meat. If you want to drink soup, you must at least have a seven-star leader!
Zhuang Yuan had mixed feelings in his heart.
...I'm afraid I'm on a broken ship this time.
A few broken wooden boards were tied together with ropes, and the raft was built to sail into the stormy sea. Isn't this looking for death?
no.
After joining them, you have to find a way to kill these insiders and escape.
Damn it!
Speaking of which, if Li Guanqi hadn't suddenly taken Chi Gongming to Leicheng, and if Chen Yue hadn't died, why would he have to be with these people!
"The Five Elements level of Dzogchen is also okay."
Zhuang Yuan looked at Yan Chengping and said coldly: "The person I want you to kill once escaped with his life in an assassination attempt by a four-star assassin from the Dark Brotherhood."
"Um?"
Yan Chengping frowned when he heard this, "Speaking of assassinations, it is not difficult for a four-star assassin of the Dark Brotherhood to kill a five-element level person if they are well prepared. Who is this person you want me to kill?"
How is your cultivation?"
"His name is..."
Zhuang Yuan slowly stood up from the chair, looked at Yan Chengping with gloomy eyes, and slowly said the person's name:
"Li Guanqi."
…
…
Daluo Dynasty, Beijing!
Deep in a luxurious mansion, in a unique garden carefully crafted by craftsmen, many children were playing and playing around a tall woman, laughing and laughing.
This is the Wang family.
One of the sixteen surnames in Daluo, the Wang family where the contemporary official minister is located!
"Aqing, stop making trouble with the children."
Beside the stone table, among several women drinking tea and eating cakes, a beautiful middle-aged woman in a luxurious green dress waved to the tall woman and said with a smile: "Come here."
"Auntie."
The tall woman is Wang Yanqing who has returned to Beijing.
Although she went home, she still couldn't get used to wearing skirts, so she was still wearing a red outfit.
Compared with the military, it only lacks two arm guards.
"Aqing..."
The beautiful woman glanced at the red dress on Wang Yanqing's body, and then smiled and said: "Auntie, I have found several good families for you in the capital. They are all wealthy families with the surname sixteen, and they are all outstanding young talents. They must be
I won’t treat you badly…”
"Auntie."
Wang Yanqing held the beautiful woman's hand and laughed softly: "I really don't have this idea, don't mention it again."
"Aqing."
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded over the garden, "Come to the study and meet me."
"Uncle is looking for me."
Wang Yanqing smiled and saluted the beautiful woman, "Yan Qing will leave first."
"call out--"
After saying that, Wang Yanqing's body flashed and disappeared instantly.
The Wang family's mansion in the capital is extremely spacious, but it is actually very small for a Five Elements level martial artist.
soon.
Wang Yanqing came to a study room, stood outside and knocked on the door.
"uncle?"
"Enter."
Wang Yanqing pushed the door open and entered.
The middle-aged man standing by the window is two meters tall, has a mustache, has a majestic face, and is wearing a bright red official robe. He is none other than Wang Chen, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who has just stepped down from the morning dynasty.
"The military department has given the results."
Wang Chen turned around and looked at Wang Yanqing, "The official document hasn't been sent yet, so I'll let you know in advance."
Wang Yanqing suddenly looked anxious and looked at him anxiously.
"As you wish."
Wang Chen calmly said: "The 10,000 Red Blood Army is completely blameless. They will leave tomorrow and return to the headquarters of the Red Blood Army on the northern border. But you violated the military order. Although there is a reason, disobeying the order is disobeying the order and you will be dismissed from the army."
If you are employed, you will not be allowed to join the army for life."
"call--"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yanqing breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then she looked at Wang Chen and bowed solemnly to salute.
"Yan Qing, thank you uncle!"
"It doesn't matter."
Wang Chen waved his hand, then looked at Wang Yanqing with complicated eyes, "It's okay to leave, the court is too chaotic now... So, what's next?"
The Minister of Civil Affairs obviously didn't want to talk about this with his niece, so he directly changed the subject and said: "Where are you going to go next? Traveling around the world? Studying martial arts?"
"Southern Xinjiang."
When Wang Yanqing smiled, she was not as beautiful as a peony, but as beautiful as a lotus.
"I also have a junior brother in southern Xinjiang, waiting for me to come over and be his bodyguard."
