C21 Dance with the Wolf?

Reiss Empire, 1016, 1st of September, the Empire's National Day Ceremony finally came to an end in a bustling scene! At the same time, the curtains were drawn in the midst of an argument.

According to the usual practice, on this day, all the lords, princes. . . And even tribal chiefs who had private territories in the Empire would attend as long as they were in the Reiss Empire. They would also stay in the Imperial Capital for a period of time. This was a matter of habit!

Of course, as the most famous country on the continent, out of courtesy, the Holy Church of the Holy City would send a high-level delegation to congratulate them on the annual celebration of the empire. In addition, the Knight Association and the Magic Union, two forces whose status was second only to the Holy Church on the continent, would also attend the ceremony to show their respect to the Empire.

At this point, the three most shocking powers in the Osman Continent would gather in the imperial capital of Reiss Empire. In addition to the ambassadors of the various countries in the continent, they had to admit that this was indeed an unparalleled event. This also showed the status of the Reiss Empire in the Osman Continent.

Many people with malicious intentions were looking forward to a gorgeous collision between them. Because every year, there would be some rumors about them during the celebration, so there were even many people who came specifically for this. On the contrary, the celebration of the empire was actually slightly inferior.

For an entire day, the entire Imperial Capital fell into an extreme state of celebration. The Imperial Square in the Imperial Capital was filled with solemn and heavy military parade ceremonies.

After that, it was time to start singing and dancing, celebrating this prosperous era of singing and dancing!

Of course, Lee Xiang definitely wouldn't have the chance to see it. Because he was still trapped in his own courtyard by Count. Originally, he was guessing that something might happen on the day of this year's National Day celebration. However, according to Sander's introduction, there was nothing unusual. As usual, it seemed to be even livelier than the previous years. It seemed like Lee Xiang's guess had once again gone wrong. Of course, * Hong Long. . . . . . *

Fortunately, this day had always been Lee Xiang's loneliest day in the past. However, it was different this year because Reynolds was here with him this year.

Ever since Reynolds made such an irresistible suggestion that day, Lee Xiang only hesitated for a moment in his mind before he quickly agreed to this suggestion, which was beneficial to him without any harm.

It was very simple, because Lee Xiang really couldn't think of a solution. He was a yellow-skinned man who had been under house arrest for more than ten years, so there was no need for him to do this. Another important thing was that Lee Xiang desperately desired strength. He wanted to have enough strength to get rid of the current situation.

Therefore, even if Reynolds had any ill intentions towards him, he would still accept it! Perhaps this was the so-called dance with the wolf? But even if it was dancing with the wolf, he was still willing!

So naturally, on the second day after Lee Xiang promised Reynolds, he began his magic journey.

In the first three days, Reynolds was only thinking about how to make Lee Xiang's face turn paler. One had to say, Reynolds was indeed a very famous mage in the continent. In just three days, Lee Xiang, whose face had already turned pale, had received Reynolds's help. The effect was immediate. If it wasn't for the fact that someone was paying attention to him, He was afraid that you would think that he was a white man. However, as long as someone paid a little bit of attention, they would still notice. . . Actually, he was still an out-and-out Asian.

In fact, Lee Xiang and Reynolds both knew very well that even though he had become like this, his unique black hair and black eyes were still unable to conceal his unique nature of being an Asian. When Reynolds requested to dye Lee Xiang's hair golden, he was rejected without any room for negotiation.

Because everyone had their own bottom line and principles, and this was the minimum that Lee Xiang could accept.

Surprisingly, Reynolds did not threaten Lee Xiang anymore. He even said something very meaningful.

"Maybe your insistence makes sense!"

On the day of the celebration of the empire, Reynolds arrived at Lee Xiang's small courtyard early in the morning. Lee Xiang also got up early and waited for him to come. Reynolds had told him before he left yesterday that today would be the day to start his magic class.

This was definitely of great significance to Li. This meant that from today onwards, he would officially come into contact with the most mysterious thing in this strange continent, and thus start a new chapter of his life. Although this day came a little late, it was still a lot better than not coming!

It was time to change everything!

. . . 。

"If you want to learn magic, you must first understand the origin of magic. . . Don't think that this is a very boring research paper. A lot of beginner magic apprentices often neglect these basic things. However, when your magic attainment reaches my level, you will find that it is very useful!" Reynolds had a serious expression on his face. This made his already gloomy face look even more strange.

Lee Xiang didn't answer. He just nodded his head. He had no right to say anything about this.

"There are three explanations about the origin of magic. . . Some people say that it is the divine law left behind by the goddess in the continent. Its purpose is to make everyone who knows magic become her spokesperson in the entire continent. "

"But as far as I know, only the church is the spokesperson of the goddess in the continent, but I have never heard of mages being the spokesperson of the goddess?" Lee Xiang couldn't help but interrupt, because what he knew in the books was not like this.

"Didn't anyone tell you that it was rude to interrupt someone when they were talking, especially when your teacher was talking?" Reynolds frowned slightly. He looked at Lee Xiang unhappily.

Lee Xiang shrugged and didn't say anything else. At the same time, he gave him an emoticon to continue.

"Another way to describe it is the evil magic that the demons left for the continent at the last moment before disappearing from this world, which is why it is called magic!"

Lee Xiang nodded. These were two very extreme ways to describe it. They were the opposite and very opposite of each other.

"The third saying is that the law is most compatible with the reality of this continent. Legend has it that thousands of years ago. . . A ferocious beast called a dragon suddenly appeared in Osman Continent, because their strength is extraordinary. Moreover, once they become adults, they can transform into the shape of a human, which caused a great panic in the hearts of humans. Some people even thought that they posed a great threat to the safety of humans and other races, so many brave warriors went to slay dragons. But they quickly discovered that the strength of a dragon was not something that could be defeated by force alone. Thus, some of the alchemists devoted themselves to this cause. They first created some substances that were harmful to the physical body. These formulas were now considered to be the embryonic form of magic. Then, people further discovered that through communicating with dragons, they could weaken or even limit the dragon's activities during battle. The special mental communication with magic was especially effective. This was the origin of the curse. Later on, some wise people compiled the ❮ Tome of the Dragon Slayer ❯, and magic came from this. "

Lee Xiang suddenly understood. He nodded his head in realization. No wonder the people in this world were so afraid of dragons. There was a special reason why they were able to turn them into evil beings.

"Then what does teacher think is correct?" Lee Xiang had learned a lot this time.

Reynolds nodded with satisfaction. Obviously, he was satisfied with Lee Xiang calling him professor.

"You also know that only the church is the spokesperson appointed by the only goddess in this world. So strictly speaking, only the Church's divine arts come from the goddess, but why is there a saying that magic comes from the goddess? And since there is such a saying, Why are there two other theories?" Reynolds was obviously not asking Lee Xiang this question. "In the end, it involves a question of faith. "

"Then are you leaning towards the third point of view? What I mean is that your belief supports the third view? " Lee Xiang was very curious. To be honest, until today, he was still brooding over the fact that dragons were viewed as evil by this world, so he was very unwilling to accept it.

"Could it be that you also lean towards the third saying because dragons are viewed as evil by the entire continent?" Reynolds asked Lee Xiang back, then smiled faintly. "I also said it just now. These are just three versions of the saying that is passed down in the continent. There are also many versions of the saying. . . If you are regarded as an evil creature because of a dragon. . . You need to understand one thing, There are many times when truth and lies are only separated by a thread, when you control everything. . . Everything you say is the truth, and when you lose everything, Then everything you say is a lie. There is no absolute! Just like the one above. . . "Reynolds said with a strange smile. "Everything they say is the truth. Even if it is a lie, no one dares to doubt it! "

Reynolds's point of view was very strange. Of course, Li Nian knew what he meant when he pointed at the top. Therefore, he had to admit that. . . Lee Xiang did not hear from his tone that he had no respect for this goddess, who was revered by many people on this continent. In fact, he even had a look of disdain on his face. Could it be that he was also a complete theocracy like himself?

"Actually, I personally support the second theory!"
