Chapter 497 Highland Mage's Olive Branch (4)

Chapter 490 The Olive Branch of the Highland Mage (4)

"Child." The Highland mage put down the teacup, resting his elbows on his coiled knees, palms up.Roach could barely recognize the shadow of the ancient etiquette, and although he couldn't make out the meaning, he doubted that he had guessed the meaning of comfort and pity.

He imagined that in ancient times, the sacrificial mage used such gestures and eyes to plead for helpless family members—he already belongs to the gods and no longer belongs to you.It is a pity that he was born in the age of reason, knowing that the lost people will not belong to God, they just stop the operation of the body, the breathing stops, the circulation stops, and the cells no longer reproduce.They just stopped, while the living just kept running.

He couldn't listen to what the highland mage said next.

"The first ancestor mages are all telepaths, and telepathy is also the basic characteristic of being able to become a god. I don't know whether Master Du Zhengyi can become a god, but the only known practice method is that the mind mage connects the spirit through meditation. Du Master Zhengyi, unfortunately, may have preliminary telepathic ability, but he is still not a real mind mage, and cannot reach the other side through collective practice. In addition, even if this is not considered, the practice will take a long time time. Although occasionally some people achieve detachment when they are still young, more people practice until they are very old. I heard that Master Du is very sick, and his natural time should be It’s not enough to practice.”

"Yeah." Roach looked down at his hands, and after a while he remembered that no one in the room was talking, he raised his head with a smile and regained his energy, "It's okay, I probably thought about it too. "

The highland mage looked at him calmly. He could feel the calm spiritual fire of the highland mages. He thought they might be on the way to the other shore. They had been able to put an end to most of the sorrows in the world.Highland mages are not indifferent to things in the world. They solve what they can, prevent what they can stop, and help what they can help.From what Roach had heard of the highland mages' reputations, they were never stingy with aid, but they were never sentimental about what they could do nothing about.

So what the highland mage said next was logical, and Roach thought of it.

The highland mage continued, "For the sensitive and thoughtful part of human beings, loneliness is unbearable. For mind mages, especially high-level telepaths, it is very dangerous to walk alone. It’s a garden in the afternoon, and it’s also an endless hell. With a sudden thought, you may be deeply trapped in the spiritual world, and you can’t find your way back, or even recognize yourself.”

Roach thought of a horrific moment when he thought he was a monster of the Xenomorphs.

"Son, you don't belong to the dunya." Master Hashi said seriously. "Don't rush to contradict me, boy. What I'm saying is that you are dangerous. I can see that you have wisdom and no lack of reason. You should be able to Understand the benefits of joining a highland mage. In a shared consciousness connection, a mentor can guide your spirit and help you keep yourself whole."

Roach opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.He could feel the kindness of the highland mage, but he was like a cat who was used to being kicked by outsiders, and the kindness of others always made him a little bit at a loss.

He thanked vaguely, then hesitated before saying, "I have an anchor. But I didn't do it very well. They said I should use something as an anchor for a long time. In other words, I don't People should be the anchor."

"Ah." The highland mage sighed softly, "That's not your fault. It's human instinct to choose people as anchors. In the world of the ancestor mage, people in the same family will build a stable spiritual world. This spiritual world itself can be seen as an anchor, where elders soothe younger children through spiritual bonds, quell teenagers' anger, and adults work together to heal each other's wounds. Although we have no chance to witness that world with our own eyes, most of us People think that it is a peaceful society, people will be more reserved, but the feelings are deep."

"Is that very similar to your situation?" Roach couldn't help asking.

"Yes," said the highland mage, "the first highland mage, one of the three ancestors you speak of, summed up previous experience and believed that this shared interconnected spiritual world was most of them The key to a person’s ascension to heaven. So he imitated this form and taught the high-ranking mages who are willing to take refuge in a similar form to connect with each other and practice together. This method really broadened my horizons and stabilized our spirits. Let many of us successfully reach the other shore. If you really have no intention of practicing, we can stop mentioning these for the time being, and only compare the world you are familiar with. Today, most of the telepaths among lowland mages are It was born. In order to maintain the mental stability of the new mind mage, the grandparents at home often have shallow spiritual connections with the children. We assume that you have never had such an experience."

Roach nodded, "I didn't."

"Then you chose the most trustworthy person around you when your spiritual world was crumbling. That's instinct. You just need to obey your instinct. At that moment, what people think is rational is not reliable." Highland Mage said, "We think in the end Have you formally given up your chance to join the Highland Mages, having explicitly sought your opinion?"

"Yes." Roach said without hesitation.

If the highland mages were still disappointed, they didn't show it. "Then we will continue to provide your education, just like what we talked about with Master Pei Shu earlier."

"Then... isn't it a bit too embarrassing." Roach said.

The highland mage replied flatly, "It is our duty to reduce your harm to the mage group."

Roach took two breaths in embarrassment, as if his mouth hurt.

He grasped another thought, "Since the ancestor mages originally maintained their mental health in the form of a family, then when there were only three ancestors in the end, were they..." He restrained himself from saying that they were all mentally unhealthy.

"Their world was destroyed, and of course they endured huge psychological trauma. But they are the most resolute people in the group, so they re-created the mage to continue their own race."

Roach didn't know how to evaluate them. Since they all created new clansmen, why didn't they create them that were better at giving birth?For example, one litter is born a year, and one litter has eight children.

He withdrew his wandering thoughts, touched the baby book in his arms, "Have the words of the ancestor mage, those magic words, been circulated among the highland mages?"

"The ancestor mage never officially handed down the text, and the highland mage is not as greedy as the lowland mage for the amount of magic."

"Ah, that's not what I mean either." Roach pushed the baby book a little deeper, "I'm not helping Qionglin to find out."

"We've finished what we need to talk about today. When your body gets better, we suggest you continue the meditation course."
