From the hands of old Feloni, Li Yu got a thin booklet with "Introductory Manual for Mage" written on the cover.

When you open it, you will see the first paragraph on the title page: [The magic of the new era is the science of the old era. It is the path to pursue the objective truth of the world. With the practice of pure rationality, even though you may never be able to hold the truth in your hands.

, but every step is getting closer.】

Hilelia also craned her neck to look, but the first paragraph on the title page confused her: "What does this mean?"

Li Yu casually explained: "To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple. For a certain phenomenon, you will propose a theory, draw hypotheses based on it, and then conduct experiments. If the experimental results do not meet the hypothesis, then your theory will be eliminated; if

If it meets the hypothesis, keep it. But temporary reservation does not mean it is always correct. Maybe one day in the future, new experimental results will refute this theory, then the theory must be revised, or simply discarded and a new one proposed."

Hilelia blinked, her green eyes filled with confusion.

But old Feloni's eyes lit up: "You have been exposed to magic before!"

Li Yu smiled: "Yes, it was a long time ago."

Old Feloni suddenly understood something and said loudly: "I understand, you are the hibernator of the old era!"

Li Yu: "Didn't you know this before?"

Old Feloni: "I only know that you were arranged by a certain big shot, but I don't know... No wonder, it makes sense. No wonder I attach so much importance to you. Do you know that this introductory manual alone costs a lot of money?"

It takes 10 silver coins to get it!”

If calculated based on the pilaf they had just eaten, 10 silver coins would be enough for two people to eat for half a month. For most people except nobles and wealthy businessmen, this price is obviously not cheap.

Li Yu frowned slightly: "The concept of seeking truth should be spread as much as possible. Why do you charge such a high fee?"

Old Feloni shook his head: "After all, there are only a few people who can learn magic. Moreover, we must first judge whether that person really wants to resist the Kingdom of God, or whether he wants to use us to collect the bounty of the floating city. Set up a

The threshold can save a lot of trouble."

Li Yu didn't say anything more, lowered his head and continued to look down.

[There are no gods in the world. The gods on the floating city were originally mortals. But when the old era collapsed, they seized the technology in their hands and seized all the power. Technology comes from the exploration of truth, but some

Hypocritical people who call themselves gods call it divine power.]

[The deeper your understanding of the world, the more techniques you can master. But in the final analysis, the gods are the same as every ordinary person. They can live longer because of the longevity technology, and the magicians who are good at this are also

Can do the same thing...]

In this booklet, in addition to describing the "path to pursue the truth," it also briefly describes the nature of the Kingdom of God and the origin of the gods, thus arousing the unwillingness in the readers' hearts.

Only at the end, it depicts the current grand scene of the Mage Association.

[Kunlun, Penglai, Canaan, Memphis, Avalon, Babel Tower, Atlantis, seven mage cities that are not inferior to floating cities wander in the ocean. From the Mississippi River to Alaska, from Baikal

From the lake to the Pamir Plateau, we have raised the banner of resistance...]

[The most precious thing for a person is life. Life belongs to a person only once. A person's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not feel regret for wasting his years because of inaction, nor will he be ashamed of being inactive. In this way

, when he was dying, he could say: I have dedicated my entire life and all my energy to the most magnificent cause in the world, fighting for the liberation of mankind.]

Seeing this last paragraph, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Old Feloni frowned and asked: "Do you think there is something wrong with what is written here?"

"Uh..." Li Yu waved his hand, "No problem, it's just that it looks a bit familiar to me."

Old Feloni: "Have you seen it in the old days?"

Li Yu nodded and said: "Of course, this is too familiar. To be honest, I am very willing to enroll in the Magic Academy, become a mage as soon as possible, and fight against the rule of the Kingdom of God. So, how should I get there?"

Old Feloni replied: "Every month, there will be a special car from us going to the city of Mumbai in the south. It is close to the sea, and the rule of the Kingdom of God is not strict. Every month, there will be a boat to pick up new people and go there.

That city of wizards in the Indian Ocean, the Tower of Babel.”

Li Yu: "When will the next bus leave?"

Old Feloni smiled: "The train will leave in a few days, so rest here. I can guarantee that what awaits you next will be a very wonderful journey."

Hilaria sat on the edge of the bed and read carefully word for word.

This is a small room that belongs to her temporarily, and the reading material in her hand is naturally the "Mage Introductory Manual" that old Feloni took out. Li Yu only read it once that day and handed it to her.

The thin booklet was read back and forth by the girl many times in the past few days.

From childhood to adulthood, the education she came into contact with came from the Kingdom of God. Among the teachings of God, there were no words like 'exploration', 'confirmation', 'falsification', 'experimentation', and 'objectivity'.

It’s as if the truth is clearly in front of you. As long as you are pious and bow your head reverently before the messenger of God, you can touch the truth. There are no doubts, no questionable questions, and nothing to explore. Those tireless vehicles come from God.

The fuel rods that drive vehicles also come from divine envoys, as well as those spectacular churches and palaces. All the miracles worth mentioning in the world originate from divine power...

Hilaria didn't think there was much problem with this world view before. When she was completely disappointed with the divine messengers and her family and wanted to become a mage, she just thought that there should be a god of magic who was against the Kingdom of God and brought magic to the world.

Power is 'rewarded' to loyal mages.

But now it seems that the Mage Association is really just a group of mortals. Relying on their own strength, mortals can also create miracles and fight against the gods?

Hilelia closed the booklet and put it aside. She felt that her head was in a mess, and a bunch of inexplicable thoughts came out. It was as if the glasses she had worn since childhood were broken, and the world in front of her became

Another look.

After being in a daze for a while, the girl walked out of her room and knocked on the door next door.

This is Li Yu's room.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked." He said.

Hilelia pushed the door open and saw Li Yu sitting at the table, playing with a bunch of bits and pieces of machinery. Although she was not familiar with it, the girl could still tell that if the parts were assembled, it would be

A gun.

Li Yu glanced at her, looked away, and continued with his hand movements.

Not long after, a complete SVD sniper rifle was placed on the table.

Hilaria stood nearby and watched quietly.

Li Yu turned around and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Hilelia hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I want to know what it was like in the old times..."

Li Yu was slightly startled: "Why did you suddenly think of this question?"

Hilelia blinked: "I suddenly feel that there are too many things in this world that I don't know, or the facts that I thought before may not be the facts. I want to know more."
