Meet the principal

Reiner could understand why Lord Hohenheim fell into madness.

As a person at the forefront of magic research, he should have a strong belief in magic and the truth. Mr. Hohenheim believes that everything he does can promote the progress of magic and bring people a better life.

But the memory of the world in the box tells Mr. Hohenheim that humans in the past have already maximized the application of magic. His current research is just a drop in the ocean. At the same time, even such a powerful human being will step into Destroy, and ultimately need to destroy your own planet to survive.

Mr. Hohenheim originally thought that the end of evolution was immortality, but facts told him that the end of evolution was self-destruction.

Coupled with the shock of his daughter's death, Lord Hohenheim fell into madness. What he did at the last moment of maintaining his sanity was to hide the box and seal this memory.

If these things are made public, the development of magic will come to a standstill, and mages will doubt the meaning of their existence, and even lead to cognitive collapse.

This is a Pandora's box that has no substantial destructive power, but is enough to destroy the entire modern magical society.

But Reiner did not suffer from cognitive breakdown.

There were mixed feelings in his thoughts. On the one hand, the scene he just saw through the memory of the world deeply shocked Reiner. He once read a sentence that highly advanced technology is the same as magic, and vice versa. Of course, the society of the previous era was quite similar to the technological society that Reiner had been exposed to.

Whether it is the magical world or the technological world, if you master endless energy, you can create a brilliant civilization and expand your territory. However, at the same time, if mentally immature humans master abilities beyond their own level, they will also cause self-destruction.

Perhaps before this era, this kind of thing has been repeated hundreds of times. It is even possible that many such apocalypse has been passed down. When each era reaches its extreme, people think that they have surpassed the point of destruction. shackles,

It achieved greater achievements than the previous era, but was still destroyed.

This is a dead end for survival. The more it develops, the easier it is to self-destruct. In the age of stones and branches, it would take a long period of war for humans to destroy themselves, but in the age of magic, it might only take one explosion.

This is the ruin of arrogance.

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

In fact, when Reiner saw these scenes, he naturally felt a bit of arrogance in his heart. He had witnessed the civilizations of two worlds, and he thought he could possibly break the cycle of all this, but soon, Reiner Calm down.

He thought about some questions from the past and soon got answers.

"Magic power is a kind of high-purity energy. In the last era, people were able to make full use of magic power and gained a splendid civilization, but they were also destroyed because of it. The surviving people decided to seal this power, but they failed empty-handed. They can't survive on the land after this disaster, so they developed a method that can use magic, and this is the original magic!"

Ever since he first came into contact with magic, Reiner has always been confused. Why is it that magic can shape the magic power into various forms, but cannot directly use it? It must adopt this extremely inefficient method. You know, just rubbing a fireball, The magic power lost is far greater than the magic power that actually makes the fireball burn.

All magic, whether ancient magic or modern magic, essentially does not use magic power, but restricts it!

It is precisely for this reason that the failure of Dana's illumination spell will produce such powerful destructive power. Reiner only improved a few spell models and was able to cast a highly destructive spell like Queen Killer.

Because the various powers transformed by magic are actually powers weakened by magic itself. The strongest spear is pure magic itself!

What Mr. Hohenheim saw in all this was despair, the despair that even though he had supreme power, he would still be destroyed, the despair that everything he did was just repeating the mistakes of his predecessors, so he fell into madness. .

What Reiner saw was hope.

Countless inspirations intertwined in his mind. Reiner took a step forward, took a step closer to the box, and spoke.

"This shows that our current magic still has a lot of room for improvement. We have just taken a small step on the road to exploring this world!"

Hearing Reiner's words, Hohenheim raised his head slightly, with many complicated emotions mixed in his eyes. He looked at Reiner. For a moment, he felt that Reiner seemed to be talking to someone who had persistently argued with him about the nature of magic. The young people reunited.

"Your Excellency Hohenheim, what the mages have always been worried about is whether their exploration has reached an end and whether they have touched a wall. In the past, this wall was the four basic elements. The mages believed that the basic elements could no longer be divided, and the world was It is composed of these four basic elements.”

Reiner said, his voice low, as if he was telling a history.

"But the theory of basic elements was quickly broken. People discovered that there are even smaller particles under the basic elements. A series of discoveries continue to push the mages forward. Up to now, we can already analyze the situation inside extremely tiny atomic nuclei. .”

All of what he said was something that Hohenheim did not necessarily know. Reiner wanted to tell this former academic leader that mages had been making progress in the past hundred years.

Humanity is always making progress.

"And now, we know that the application of magic goes far beyond that. Our exploration of the world has not reached the end, but has just begun. This is how lucky it is for mages that there is no end."

Lord Hohenheim believes that the end of exploration is destruction, which is a kind of despair for mages, but Reiner believes that exploration that has not yet reached the end is the driving force for the progress of mages.

Although Reiner could not explain where the feedback from the world came from, and where the energy of magic came from, he now knew that the development of magic had not reached the end, but had only just begun. Various things that were considered impossible in the past and present things can eventually come true.

"So what if it leads to destruction? What if it's difficult to escape the reincarnation of fate?"

Reiner said, his voice clearly audible as it echoed throughout the hall.

"Should we terminate our current exploration because of possible destruction?"

No one can answer.
