Overturned Tower

After Paradise Bird calmed down a little, she began to give Russell's best account of the information she had obtained during this time.

That's another perspective on the church, on the understanding of the angelic mages... and the battle of the teachings.

After getting her explanation, Russell realized... Although mages and angels are old enemies, the composition of this hostility is completely different.

The church and angels have a very clear attitude towards mages, that is, "treat them as taboo".

There are too many mad mages on land.

In an era when psykers were not yet popular, there were no mind protection chips, and no memory manipulation technology, mages were the most mainstream system. And at the end of the system there is only madness and death.

The weaker you are, the easier it is to die in the dream world; the stronger you are, the easier it is to go further, and the easier it is to go crazy. No one can go to the end of the dream world, because the closer you get to the tower of the end, the easier it is for the spirit to assimilate with the dream world... At that time, even if you are not eroded by the shadows, you will "become crazy".

On the other hand, holding the power of the Holy Order will not bring any side effects to the body and mind, and it can even spontaneously heal many diseases and injuries and prolong life.

From the perspective of the church, holy orders are undoubtedly the most orthodox path. Although it requires people to do good deeds, have good thoughts in their hearts, and have a firm will, the feedback it brings is also the most positive. This is a force that attracts people to do good.

"Then, a spell that can obtain more powerful spells with a faster speed, lower threshold, and higher side effects is an 'evil path'..."

Paradise Bird said seriously.

Russell nodded in approval.

Just like how to make money is written in the criminal law...

"The way of the mage, let more good people, good people, and saints who might have walked the way of the holy order turn into dead people and lunatics in advance. This is the reason why the church fought against the mage tower in the first place...for the purpose of 'snatching students' .”

—Even if people do good deeds just to gain the power of the holy order, at least they have done real good deeds and really helped others.

But if you become a mage, you will only use spells to grab benefits from other people... because mages are people who do what they want. The more powerful a mage is, the harder his nature is to hide, and the more pure his character is.

This is actually a very normal battle between good and evil.

"That is to say, the church...has no hatred towards the group of mages?"

Russell confirmed.

Paradise Bird nodded: "Yes.

"Not only the seniors in the church told me this. The angels also confirmed to me that they just wanted to eradicate the wrong inheritance that led more people to detours."

From the perspective of mages, they would think that the church is meddling in their own business.

Russell thought.

Because the mages also think that they are the right way.

The mage tower on the ground in the past has established a very mature inheritance system, which can guide anyone who has the potential to step into the dream world to quickly become a mature mage. Although a little aggressiveness will be polluted by shadows... But isn't that caused by greed?

Mages are different from psykers. Without deliberate guidance, except when the mood is extremely fluctuating, it is difficult for the mage to enter the dream world spontaneously. In other words, if you think that your talents stop here, you just need to stop practicing spells and there will be no side effects. And if you move forward in a group, many difficulties can be overcome and eliminated; if the group leader expects to stay in a fixed area, then you can also help each other clear the shadows.

As long as we are united and cautious, many problems will not be problems.

That being the case, shouldn't those mages who went crazy, died, and turned into vegetative states first look for their own problems?

Why explore alone in the dream world, and go to the dangerous area that the mentor is not allowed to enter?

The mages believe that those who die and become vegetative are because their hearts are too weak to withstand the experience of the dream world, but they are greedy for power that does not belong to them; high.

That's just retribution.

The dangers of the mage's way are dismissed by those who do not intend to advance too far, to seek the Tower of the End, or to desire rarer and more powerful powers. They just want to get useful spells and solve their own troubles.

The more mages are grouped together, the stronger and safer they will be. Because the timing of triggering shadows is different for each person, as long as there are enough people, they can help each other clear the shadows. In this way, even if a certain area does not have the protection of a powerful mage, as long as a group of weak people unite, it will be safe enough.

As a result, the dangers of the church's constant propaganda of the mage's way are annoying to most weak mages.

—Yes, of course we know that if we seek the truth, it will become dangerous, and we also know that magic is not as holy as the power of holy orders. But if we can awaken the power of the Holy Order, will we still fall into the dream world? Now that we have become mages, it is naturally difficult to awaken the Holy Order... We are just a group of people huddled together to keep warm, should this kind of security be taken away?

Even your church itself cannot perfectly pass on the power - the bishop's child may not be able to become a bishop, and the saint's disciple may not necessarily be able to become a saint. Unable to stabilize the power of inheritance through teaching and inheritance, it really depends on "luck". It has no guarantee and is not stable enough at all.

Here lies the main difference between the church and the angels.

The church's hostility to the mages lies more in maintaining its own correctness and sanctity. Although it cannot be said that it is entirely based on interests, it is not a pure dispute over the path. Therefore, the church can cooperate with the mage, and it can also be compromised. Because apart from the anger they played in the war, they actually have no fundamental conflict of interest.

They will fight at first, just from the bottom of their hearts, they think each other's path is wrong.

However, the angels who have participated in the battle of teaching law do not think so.

The angels have personally experienced the warmth and strength of the power of the Holy Order, so they know that this is the most correct path.

In turn, as the war progressed, the power of the mages became more vicious and evil.

In the beginning, the mages still used the pure lethal power of fire and frost, thunder and thought power.

But as the war progressed, spells gradually turned into curses, poisons, radiation and pollution.

Fire becomes vicious, capable of burning life or good in others; frost grows shadowy tentacles. The thunder turned into poisonous wind and distorted radiation, and the power of thought turned into a curse.

After that, they began to use flesh and blood to create distorted monsters, resurrect the dead into undead, let the living burn and explode, and buried the plague in the wounded soldiers rescued by the church...

As the desires in the hearts of mages change, they will get corresponding power in the dream world.

Whether it is positive or negative emotions, they will be responded immediately-and positive traits such as restraint, determination, hard work, and courage are obviously not as easy to inflate as emotions such as jealousy, anger, hatred, and greed.

If you want to say that the biggest difference between holy orders and spells... is that holy orders only give people the power to do good deeds, while spells give people the ability to manifest their souls.

This is the origin of the angels' vigilance against the mage. Because they know how much harm a powerful mage can do if he wants to corrupt.

No matter how normal his previous power was, as long as his mind is twisted and deformed, his power will also be "poisonous".

Although the angels are fictional saints, they must have been "good guys" before they became angels... so they really want to guide the mages on the right path.

"After all, as long as you are down-to-earth and a good person, you can get the ability to help others...Why do you hesitate to do such a good thing?"

Bird of Paradise lay in Russell's arms, and her bright red eyes stared at Russell with admiration, just like looking at her father.

She said softly: "I don't understand... Even if it's really not easy to be a good person, if you have extraordinary willpower, shouldn't you use it in this kind of place? The willpower and determination they put in to become an excellent mage , is enough for them to obtain the power of the Holy Order.

"The power of the Holy Order is fair... It doesn't need a smart brain or a strong body. It doesn't need to be rich or have a good background. People without codes like me can also be recognized. There are also some good people in the church, Just doing good deeds casually on weekdays has been recognized by the power of the Holy Order...

"Mr. Barber, although it is not good to say this in front of you. But I really think that it is better to work hard to be a good person than to work hard in the dream world."

After the little pigeon finished speaking, she glanced at Russell's eyes with some fear, worried that he would be angry, and then immediately explained: "I'm not saying that you are not a good person... I just mean that at least most mages get power, not To help others."

"Well, you're right."

Russell nodded in approval.

A mage who does not pursue a little bit will pursue power in a safe situation; a mage who pursues a little bit will occupy a relatively rear area in the dream world to obtain unique power, or teach disciples to inherit his own path; If they are, they will start a death journey to the tower of the end that they will not be able to reach in their lifetime.

But in any case, all they think about is themselves.

Or the spells you can use, or the schools you create and maintain, or the truths and answers you want to pursue.

"However... Although the attitude of the angels towards the mage is much firmer than that of the church. But the opinions among the angels are also different... For example, Mister Wuming.

"His personality is very gentle, but he thinks that the mage's inheritance must be eradicated, and some sacrifices can be made for this as a 'necessary evil'... He even thinks that the path of psykers is wrong.

"But Mr. Bugle is different. He is a sympathizer of mages. Because he believes that mages also walked on this road because of temporary difficulties and wrong steps. It cannot prove that their nature is evil...Even if a good person becomes a mage, he will not He will be a good person, and he will also help others. Therefore, his attitude towards mages is very friendly.

"He and Mister Wuming would quarrel sometimes, but it wasn't very intense. It was usually about the guidance of the power of the Holy Order to human nature. Mr. Wuming always believed that the power of the Holy Order is not for those who are 'good people' people, but those who 'can do good or evil'.

"And Mr. Bugle believes that there is no need to be harsh on these people. Whether they choose to be good or evil is their own choice, as long as they are responsible in the end.

"Other angels also have their own different views... almost everyone has a different view on mages, and some think that they must be punished by killing chickens and monkeys~www.readwn.com~ and some think that mages are also human beings and need their help And healing. But the angels don't fight each other, they think of each other as brothers and sisters.

"And the opinions given by the church are all unified, but secretly there will be fights among the bishops... I find it very troublesome, so I don't participate."

Paradise Bird was trying to describe the characters of the other two new colleagues to Russell.

I'm afraid that Russell will say something suddenly and break up with them... Russell can even think that Paradise Bird should have introduced himself to Wuming and Horn before this.

…To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a child who is worried about the divorce of his parents.

But Paradise Bird is obviously over-concerned. After all, Russell and the angels have known each other longer than they have known her.

Some people, as long as they meet each other once, they know that the other party can become a trustworthy good friend.

Such is the relationship between them.
