You and me under the world tree

"For ordinary people, magic and wizards are too far away, but if its influence penetrates into life, it will be completely different."

"Where does it use magic and runes?"

"It's the power system, it's water and flames, the simplest elemental magic can complete the conversion of kinetic energy."

These words directly exploded in Siegfried's ears, making his head buzz.

water.

fire.

"Even the most lame apprentice can control the elemental magic, can it do this?"

At this moment, Siegfried finally realized what kind of error he had always had in his cognition.

"I originally thought that the effects of elemental magic were only those..."

Is magic amazing?

Is elemental magic amazing?

"In the future, will magic still be 'magic'?"

Chapter 23: The Wisdom of the Weak

magic.

rune.

For Siegfried, these words were stamped with mystery from the very beginning.

Not because of anything else, because he doesn't have any commendable talent in this area.

He can become an excellent fighter and a 'hero' with a magic weapon in his hand.

However, he has no way to become a real wizard.

Not to mention becoming a wizard.

He knew very well that it would be quite strenuous for him to memorize the meanings of those runes by rote and understand their superficial concepts.

As for the deep-level combination, it is out of reach.

Raise your hand to turn the world upside down, or even cause natural disaster-level killing?

He never thought about this kind of thing, because he knew he couldn't do it.

It is precisely because of this that magic and runes appear extremely mysterious.

Regardless of what dwarves and elves are, for humans, the so-called magic and runes are indeed things that exist but cannot be directly touched.

A real wizard chooses to hide from the world, chooses to stay out of the world.

The magic that most mortals come into contact with is extremely superficial.

Think carefully about the things you have experienced, and compare them with what the dwarf adoptive father has shown him now.

"That's right."

Staring at the ferocious giant steel beast, Siegfried suddenly laughed.

He just covered his face like this, and then looked up again.

He looked up at the elevator he took before, and the thick straight-through pipe was also very conspicuous.

"Although when I was young, I thought wizards were cool and handsome, but when I think about it carefully, I can't be a wizard at all."

The young His Majesty the King just stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head.

"To be honest, Lakin, my understanding of magic is still limited to destructive power. Now it seems that I am far behind."

"A person's mind is limited, and it will be affected by the living environment and interpersonal relationships. For you, the biggest role of runes and magic is 'lethal power'."

"Yes."

"Because only this aspect is useful, so subconsciously pay attention to this aspect, and then have a deeper impression, this is 'impression' and 'cognition'."

Having said that, Alberich just sighed.

Siegfried could see that he was feeling emotional too.

Although the metal behemoth named 'train' in front of him is a product of the Nibelung Kingdom.

And it was built by Alberich himself, the king.

However, he was still a little moved, and even marveled at this design.

Not because of anything else, because it impacted his already stable cognition and concept.

"If you think about it carefully, things like this are actually easy to see through."

Siegfried said in a low voice.

"It's just that the person concerned is easily lost, no matter what happens."

This point, he has a deep understanding.

Because he has seen many people be deceived by some inherent cognition, and even make wrong choices because of certain thoughts and emotions in their minds that affect their judgment.

"All intelligent creatures are like this. Unless a catastrophe is imminent and a catastrophe is encountered, few people will recognize and reflect on right and wrong."

Alberich smiled slightly.

"Not to mention, this kind of stuff is not a 'right or wrong' thing."

The king of the Nibelung just sighed like this, then shook his head.

"For us dwarves and elves, magic is too convenient."

Although this statement may sound strange, Alberich, who said these words, knew what it meant.

"We understand magic, so we subconsciously focus on magic."

Because basically everyone can control the most basic runes, they instead focus on the research of magic.

They habitually rely on a few magic to complete the control of all organs.

For example, the labyrinth structure inside the royal palace of Gurnita Hyde used to be like this.

Changing doors and corridors, mechanisms controlled by rings, etc., are all magical creations.

And even a little further, magic can allow them to fly into the sky, and even swim in the deep sea.

It can also communicate with the teleportation magic circle depicted, or use the rainbow rune stone to teleport around.

With such a big premise, they didn't think about what the most basic runes could do.

"When one thinks of elements, they are the most primitive tools for life, or fighting. When one thinks of transportation, one is transformed into animals, or even uses teleportation magic."

Alberich took a deep breath.

"Speaking of which, we still don't need these. There is no war between dwarves and elves, and there is no need to travel long distances."

"It is human beings who really need these, but human beings have no ability to go further."

Siegfried couldn't help saying that.

At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

After seeing the huge steel monster again, he even felt that the current transportation method of human beings was too weak.

"Yes, that's the reality. Whether it's humans, elves, or dwarves, the strong will pay attention to magic itself, but for mortals, the so-called magic is too far away."

So unconsciously, a huge fault appeared in the middle.

No one thought about continuing to think about the uses of the most basic magic. Instead, they were all pursuing powerful and profound magic.

"Looking back now, this kind of thing is really easy to do, but because magic itself is very convenient, no one has considered this kind of thing at all."

No one thought about it, but the man did.

Thinking of this, Alberich felt a little incoherent.

To be honest, he wanted to cut open that guy's head to see what kind of unconstrained thinking was in his brain.

"The power of magic depends on the wizard's own knowledge and wisdom."

Unknowingly, Siegfried once again thought of the most classic words for wizards.

Because if the talent and wisdom are not high, then there is no way to understand the combination of profound runes, and it is impossible to use powerful magic.

But now, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be other interpretations for this sentence.

"The so-called magic may have more than one path."

"No, magic still refers to the combination of runes, but these things are completely different. These are the products of your humans, because other races don't use them at all."

The dwarves live underground, and the elves live in the glorious kingdom.

As ancient and powerful beings, gods and giants come and go freely.

"Then what are these called?"

"I don't know." Alberich shook his head. "Actually, Hodder didn't give an accurate name, but he did give a definition."

"what?"

"Because I can't directly achieve it, because I can't directly control it, so I try to use everything at hand to piece together the way forward."

Then, Alberich reached out and poked himself on the head.

"These are the wisdom of the weak, and only belong to the weakest human beings in the Nine Realms, because the strong will never care about them."

Chapter 24: Crazy Box

It is precisely because I am weak that I have the idea of ​​becoming stronger.

It is precisely because he is weak that he wants to forge weapons.

Weak!

inability!

Born with nothing, life is extremely short.

As the most inferior race in the Nine Realms, human beings will encounter various problems from the very beginning.

And these problems are full of human life, and even threaten the survival of human beings themselves.

However, it is precisely because of such problems that human beings have 'experience'.

In addition to turning to the great and high gods for help, human beings have learned to arm themselves.

They forge armor to protect their bodies and weapons to inflict damage on their enemies.

Their bodies are fragile and easy to get sick. They have learned to use herbs externally and internally to treat their injuries and diseases.

When their legs could not run fast, they tamed the horses.

I don't want to use human power to transport materials, so I have a horse-drawn carriage.

In order to sail on the sea, they have ships.

Wanting to eat meat, they started raising cattle and sheep.

And to make sure there was always a source of food, they started growing a variety of foods.

The same goes for fighting.

There is no way to crush the opponent with pure strength, or even be suppressed by the opponent, so they began to ponder the skills of fighting.

Self-defense, self-defense.

These things are what the weak have been practicing continuously and summed up from generation to generation in order to survive.
