Chapter 456: Don’t think about victory, think about defeat first, Roland’s retreat

After meeting his family, Roland returned to his office in East Lena Mage Tower.

At this time, Master Watson had retired and returned to China, leaving Lei in charge of the overall situation.

This mage, supported and promoted by Roland, has been promoted to a formal member of the Arcane Committee and is recognized by everyone as the leader of the second generation school.

Lei doesn't have much research talent, but he does a good job in administration. He is also good at coordinating interests, allocating funds, soothing emotions, and identifying talents.

That's enough for the job.

Roland briefly checked the situation of the mage tower and the joint research meeting, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you so much for your hard work. Fortunately, you are responsible for many affairs of the joint seminar. Otherwise, the school would not be able to develop to the extent it is today."

"Anyway, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Lei laughed.

Roland said: "You haven't been back to Atrein for a long time. Have you considered bringing your family over and staying here permanently?"

Roland asserted: "As Reiner's environment improves and magic develops, they will change their minds."

Atrein people like them regard Reiner as a remote province or backward kingdom of Atrein.

But as it develops, things will change.

Take advantage of the opportunity. "

Roland analyzed: “I think the past few years have been the critical point.

This is actually the reason why he pays attention to the "Great Prophecy".

It does not involve issues of nationality or race. The only reason why apprentices do not apply and formal mages do not want to come is that they are too backward.

After explaining these things, Roland began to invest his time and energy in improving the promotion ceremony.

Since meeting the "immortal fate" and being "appointed" by Fenidites, Professor Orlando has wanted to use this to save Sinvera, but he saw the hope of being promoted to a legend.

But later, after being promoted to the eighth and ninth levels, the effectiveness became much weaker.

It helped Roland advance all the way and raised his mage rank to a high level or above.

Lei often discussed these things with Roland before, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

The series of spells "Dream Spell" has been completely successful.

Roland has sufficient evidence for this, and naturally understands that this cannot be applied to the promotion of the ninth level to the tenth level.

Coupled with sufficient resources, it is easy to advance to a high level.

Temporary gains are only made when things are almost ready.

As the mages move here and take exams or settle in the mage tower here, the development speed must be faster and faster. This is a positive cycle.

The incident in Sinvera caused Professor Anglando and others to come over, and he really benefited from this wave of benefits.

Next, it depends on how Lei and others digest and absorb it.

Lei said: "I have considered this issue a long time ago, but my children have not agreed. However, in recent years, I seem to have relaxed a little..."

"I know that the economic foundation determines the superstructure. More and more mages will apply here in the future."

But Roland did not believe in this magic like Anglando did. He later realized that "it depends on man-made things", which changed the fate of Sinvera and Faun to a certain extent. Got new insights.

The contradictory philosophy that everything depends on people and heaven depends on it, is actually the harmony of yin and yang at the core of Seris culture.

It is not as profound as those in the Taoist scriptures, but the principle of doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate must be understood. Only by doing things with this mentality can one face any difficulties and obstacles calmly and not fall into the state of superstition or blaming others.

"If that doesn't work, should I reincarnate as a lich?"

Before looking for Professor Orlando again to talk about research, Roland suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Don’t worry about winning, think about defeat first.

What he was thinking about at the moment was that after the failure of the "Great Prophecy Technique", he had never been able to break through and be promoted, waiting until his life span was exhausted and he was old.

At that time, the source of his magic power is still there, and he may be able to reincarnate as an undead monster and seek a lifespan far beyond the ordinary.

But soon, he put an end to this idea on his own.

"It's just a matter of survival.

Mages who have reincarnated into lichs have basically lost their promotion potential, unless they are those who do not conflict with demigod lichs or legendary destiny.

Moreover, the transformed lich will also come with a template of an undead creature, forcing it to transform into an evil monster.

The body's functions will affect the mind and soul, and the whole process is uncontrollable. "

For a mage, this loss of control is truly fatal, because he will no longer be himself.

Mages are actually not that pedantic to worry about this or that.

Among the transformation methods currently recognized by the arcane world, there are even "mechanical wizards" who abandon weak flesh and blood to achieve mechanical ascension.

What makes it more advanced than the Lich is that it can control its own biological template and camp location, and will not be affected by the power of good gods or various holy light energies.

Unfortunately, these high-end technologies have not yet reached the practical stage.

As for falling into the arms of the goddess or falling into hell.

It's not like Roland didn't think about it.

If you become a believer in your own capacity, you will definitely receive great support from the church.

But this is equivalent to entrusting your soul to a great existence, and your soul contains deep resonance across the universe and the mystery of time travel and rebirth. This is definitely not a good thing.

Roland also didn't want to lose his soul and be reduced to the point where he only came to this world once and turned into dust in a few decades or hundreds of years.

"Perhaps, we can use the "God Conferring Technique" as a backup! "

“When I invested in Siris Magic Cards and joined the Card Association, it was not just to enter the entertainment industry or the arms industry.

This association, with so many high-level entities co-investing in it, is to build a platform for gathering faith and collecting incense, similar to those of Blue Star's financing ventures.

This is a second-hand method that I can accept. Moreover, because I have trained the headless war gods Xingtian and Diego, I have at least two methods of conferring gods in different directions.

With the official power of Reiner, coupled with the royal bloodline and sacrificial rituals...

It is also easy to become the ancestor god of the Reiner Empire or the ancestor god of a school.

However, "the art of ascension to gods" is not "the art of ascension to gods" after all.

The emphasis is on sealing, but in fact it is still too influenced by incense and can easily be shaped by the will of all living beings into what they want. "

The gods created in this way are similar to the gods who are restricted by the establishment in "The Romance of the Gods", and they all have limitations.

This was a retreat if promotion to Legend failed, and Roland didn't want to go there unless he had to.
