Chapter 358: The Birth of a Mage
"Your Highness Hua, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me by my name, Alan."
In front of the Fairy Queen, Alan did not feel that he was qualified to call himself a "master".
Luo Tianhua smiled sweetly and nodded happily.
"Alan, you are Xiaoguang's good friend. If I treat you as my own brother, you don't mind, right?"
"It's my pleasure, why would you mind?"
Alan paused and couldn't help but make a joke.
"But then again, Your Highness, you give me the impression that you are more in line with the image of an ideal sister."
Luo Tianhua was not angry, but gave him a coquettish look.
"Don't be fooled by my youthful appearance. I'm actually quite old. Not to mention being your sister, I'm more than qualified to be your grandmother!"
The awkwardness of the first meeting was dispelled by chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
Luo Tianhua and Allen walked side by side under the shade of the trees.
After chatting about family matters for a while, we got back to the topic.
"Alan, I asked you to come here today for two main reasons."
"First, I want to see if the magic network model you created is really as magical as Xiaoguang said. Is it really as magical as Xiaoguang said? It has created a new extraordinary system besides warlocks and priests."
"Secondly, I heard that you have successfully integrated the three ancient bloodlines of Behemoth, Titan, and Leviathan, and became your own ancestor. I would like to draw a small amount of blood from you as research material."
"Since thousands of years ago, the ancestors who participated in the Ancient God War left the Warlock World one after another, and no new ancestors were born since then, until you appeared."
"I'm very curious about your physique. What's so special about it? You've integrated so many blood essences with very different properties, but you've never had any conflicting symptoms."
"Can a one in a billion probability be explained by coincidence?"
"If this is not a coincidence, then I have reason to suspect that there is some mysterious factor in your blood that has the miraculous effect of overcoming blood rejection!"
"If we extract this ingredient, maybe we can make a fusion elixir that can prevent blood rejection and collapse!"
Luo Tianhua seems to be a beautiful girl with a top academic record. When talking about scientific research, she looks very energetic and her eyes become particularly bright.
"Alan, if you are willing to do me this favor, I promise to pay you a reward that will satisfy you!"
"Your Highness, I am of course happy to assist you in your research, but there are some things I must say first."
"If you can't find anything special in my blood, please don't be too disappointed."
"Maybe I'm just a special case, and I got lucky."
Alan gave her a heads-up in advance.
In fact, his blood did not contain the so-called anti-rejection components.
The Taotie system is what truly promotes integration.
The Taotie system does not rely on blood, but is rooted in Alan's soul.
Even if Luo Tianhua drew his blood, he couldn't figure out the reason.
"Don't worry. Most of the research I've done has failed. I'm used to working in vain."
Luo Tianhua smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
Since she has such a good attitude, Alan doesn't have to worry about research failure and being blamed.
He opened the storage bag, took out the magic net energy core and a bottle of blood sample prepared in advance, and handed it over.
Luo Tianhua first checked the magic network energy core, seemed very interested, and asked Allen questions from time to time.
Alan answered patiently.
Building and promoting the magic network is a huge project.
He himself mainly plays a driving role, and the subsequent improvement and operation cannot be separated from the support of the Holy Demon Ancestral Court.
The attitudes of the seven clan leaders who rule the ancestral temple towards the magic network jointly determine the prospects of this project.
If only the sect leader Yuan Tianguang supports him, and the other six are opposed, things will be difficult.
Alan deeply realized that he must seize this opportunity to meet Luo Tianhua and win the support of the Fairy Queen!
There are too many self-centered "little fairies" in the world. Trying to reason with them will only result in ridicule from those below you.
Alan was thankful that the Fairy Queen was not one of those “little fairies” who valued emotional value over factual truth.
Luo Tianhua is not only extremely smart, but also very reasonable.
It's a pleasure to deal with such a woman.
As long as you explain the reason clearly, you can get her approval.
"Alan, thank you for your explanation. I basically understand it."
"The magic network model is a public library that carries countless extraordinary knowledge and is built on the magic lock barrier."
"As a basic infrastructure, the puzzle barrier should not be difficult to deal with in my opinion."
"However, magic and supernatural skills are analyzed into the simplest words, formulas and equations. The most basic parts can be understood by ordinary educated people. They can learn step by step from easy to difficult, and eventually master extraordinary skills!"
"The difficulty and complexity of compiling all the above extraordinary knowledge into a textbook is so great that just imagining it gives me a headache and makes me tired. I simply cannot muster up the courage to try it!"
"Your genius lies in opening up the work of spell configuration analysis, as well as the review, editing, and correction of spell configuration to all magic network users. The more contributions you make, the more magic network permissions you will gain, and the right to obtain higher-level extraordinary knowledge! This idea is great!"
"Do you realize that based on this set of rewards and upgrade mechanisms, we can create a brand new extraordinary profession that is different from warlocks and priests?"
The Fairy Queen's beautiful face flushed with excitement.
"We"?
Luo Tianhua's inadvertent words made Allen smile knowingly.
"Your Highness Hua, I have thought about incorporating the users of the magic network into a new professional system. It is not a sorcerer, nor a priest. I plan to name it..."
Allen smiled slightly and said the title that was destined to go down in history.
"Mage!"
"Master..." Luo Tianhua pondered and nodded slightly.
"Alan, can a warlock or priest who already possesses extraordinary powers also become a wizard?"
"The Magic Network opens the bridge to knowledge to everyone. Adhering to the principles of openness and fairness, I am not against part-time jobs."
"Of course, a person's energy is limited. Being a part-time mage will inevitably distract you from studying your main job. The gains and losses all depend on your personal choice."
Alan said calmly.
“Openness and fairness are good!”
Luo Tianhua held the magic net energy core and nodded happily.
"Alan! If you can expand the magic network to the astral world, I would like to be one of the first users and practice the path of a mage!"
"Thank you very much for your support, Your Highness Hua. However, the current model of the magic network has a radiation radius of only 900 kilometers. It can't even cover the warlock world, let alone the star world."
"I'm afraid of taking too big a step, so I'd better start testing from my hometown. If the results are in line with expectations, it won't be too late to consider expanding the boundaries of the magic network."
Luo Tianhua selectively ignored his vulgar metaphor and nodded in approval: "It's right to be cautious in the initial stage! How do you plan to promote the magic network after you go home?"
"I want to build a school on Silver Moon Island... or it would be more appropriate to say a society."
Under her guidance, Alan further opened up his mind.
“The purpose of the society is to pursue and share extraordinary knowledge.”
"Anyone who has graduated from elementary school, has a certain cultural foundation, and has mastered the most basic meditation techniques can apply for membership for free."
"My family and our master's Silver Moon Monastery are quite powerful on Silver Moon Island. I don't have to worry about advertising. We can easily recruit thousands of people to join."
“Only when there are enough users can we better stress-test the Magic Network model and bring about a snowball effect—producing more knowledge and attracting more people to join in.”
After listening to his plan, Luo Tianhua thought for a moment and asked a sharp question.
"Will this society you founded, which is aimed at testing and enriching the magic network ecosystem, develop into a religious group that worships the creator of the magic network, that is, you?"
"If the society eventually becomes a church and the mages become priests, you can even use the magic network to ascend to the throne and become the 'God of Mages'! Perhaps this is your real goal?"
"This path to becoming a god is indeed very tempting, but it is not the path I desire."
Facing Luo Tianhua's sharp questioning, Allen made a solemn promise:
"Your Highness Hua, I swear to my ancestors that I will never promote the magic network by mixing in idol worship!"
Luo Tianhua looked deeply into his eyes, unable to see any trace of pretense.
Even so, she still did not give up her doubts.
"Alan, even if you don't want to abuse your power for personal gain, you can't resist the trend of the times..."
"If someone asks who created the magic network and opened up a shortcut to extraordinary power for the public, how would you answer?"
"If you tell the truth and admit that you are the father of the Demon Network, how can you stop those who benefit from the Demon Network from worshipping you from the bottom of their hearts and treating you as a god!"
"People's hearts cannot be changed by personal will. It is certainly difficult to force others to worship you, but as the creator of the magic network, it is even more difficult to try to stop others from worshipping you!"
Luo Tianhua once founded the "Church of Life" and is the "Goddess of Life" worshipped by countless believers.
She said this from the heart and based on her experience .
"Your Highness Hua, if people ask who created the magic network, I will answer frankly that the credit should go to... the great Holy Demon Ancestor Court."
Alan said calmly.
Luo Tianhua was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "I'm curious, how do you understand the word 'frank'?"
Alan smiled and explained to her calmly.
"Your Highness, I am a Galaxy Guardian, and my organizational relationship is affiliated with the Holy Demon Ancestor Court. The copyright of the inventions I made during my employment belongs to the company I am employed by. Isn't this a reasonable thing to do?"
"Isn't it frank enough to say that the credit mainly goes to the support of the organization and leaders?"
"Think about it the other way around. If you and His Highness Guang were against my idea and against me testing the magic network in my hometown, this plan would have been aborted. This shows the key role of organization and leadership."
Luo Tianhua glared at him unhappily, speechless.
"You kid, you have a lot of twisted ideas..."
Although there were many flaws in Allen's words, Luo Tianhua had to admit that this kid's political awareness was extremely high!
Promote the magic network in the warlock world and open up the mage system.
This kind of behavior will inevitably shake the monopoly of the major warlock families on supernatural powers and bring about a crazy counterattack.
Allen considers himself the founder of the magic network, which means he stands on the opposite side of the major warlock families and becomes the target of concentrated fire.
On the contrary, if they use the big hat of the Holy Demon Ancestral Temple as a shield, the warlocks will not dare to start a war.
What’s more…
In this way, Allen must show the other clan leaders, including Luo Tianhua, his correct stance of focusing on his work and not seeking credit, and try to avoid arousing their suspicion.
It was not difficult for Luo Tianhua to understand Allen's choice, but he was still a little worried.
"Alan, using the magic network to collect faith is a shortcut to becoming a god! With such a great opportunity in front of you, are you really willing to give it up?"
Alan shook his head slightly, his eyes firm.
"The path I have chosen is destined to have no chance of becoming a god. I have long been aware of this."
"Your Highness Hua, let's imagine this. If I turn the magic network into a tool for forming a religious community, and only devout believers are qualified to access the magic network, how is it different from other churches of gods, and what is the difference between mages and priests?"
"I have devoted myself to opening up a third path that is independent of bloodline and religion, but now I am back on the old path. The efforts I have made for this have been doomed to failure from the beginning. What is the meaning of everything I have done so far?"
"Your Highness Hua, the Demonic Net should not be the exclusive property of any individual or group, and it should not be used for personal gain. Otherwise, the Demonic Net will be dead ."
"This is my true thought, believe it or not."
Luo Tianhua stared at the young and sincere face opposite him, his clear eyes revealing his inner emotions.
She closed her eyes and calmed herself down.
When he opened his eyes again, he said to Alan meaningfully:
"You are a very rational person. In order to achieve a lofty goal, you are willing to sacrifice immediate interests."
"But I must tell you, there are some things you pursue but cannot get, and there are some things you don't expect at all, but you can get them by accident."
Alan didn't quite understand the deep meaning of her words.
I just nodded and kept it in mind for the time being.
Luo Tianhua returned the magic net core to Allen, then picked up the reagent bottle containing Allen's blood, uncorked it, and blew gently into it.
A breath of divine energy that contains the source of life.
The blood in the bottle then became active.
Every drop of blood evolves into an independent living being.
Alan was watching from the side, raising his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Animating inanimate objects is not a difficult task for high-level warlocks.
However, the "living things" created in this way are essentially constructs and cannot be considered true creation of life.
Transforming a drop of blood into a living person is more difficult than animating an inanimate object, but Alan can do it.
However, whether using "cloning" or "blood transformation", the created creatures are just copies of the original and do not have uniqueness.
Luo Tianhua's method of activating the blood drops at this moment is more clever than all the above methods!
Every drop of blood is infused with a unique soul, just like a creature born from nature!
