[Comprehensive] The painting style of time travel is wrong

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the fast-paced metropolis outside the window, the tranquility and elegance of the interior are completely two worlds.

Modern architecture and classical-style decoration, the furnishings are quite modern and simple, with the green smoke curling from the brass incense burner on the table.

Several styles are actually blended together very well, giving the people in it a kind of wonderful peace of mind.

And now, two people are facing each other in the room and slowly drinking tea.

"Miss Tang, can you tell me how you found this place?"

After putting down the teacup, Master Gu Yi, who was wearing a pale yellow robe, asked with a smile.

Although Mage Ancient One looks very calm now, only those who are familiar with her will know that Mage is full of vigilance now.

When she heard that an ordinary person named Tang Xuening knocked on the door of the New York Temple and wanted to see her, her immediate reaction was that there must be something wrong.

The temple hidden in the cracks of space is not a place that ordinary people can perceive. Although it is not impossible for ordinary people to enter by chance, the other party will never clearly want to see him in that case.

Therefore, Mage Ancient One is already prepared for a fierce battle.

The reason she does this is very simple:

The current circle of mages in the world is too small-so small that they are either acquaintances or enemies.

"As long as you know the method, solving the problem will be very simple."

Tang Xuening also smiled and gave Master Gu Yi an answer that was not an answer.

Finding someone in a world with extraordinary powers is actually much easier than the real world, as long as you find the right way.

Yes, the mages used the space folding technique to hide the temple.

But what about the power of high-dimensional space, after all, the mages in it are only using high-dimensional power instead of becoming a high-dimensional existence. These are completely two concepts-the difference in difficulty is comparable to killing a person The difference between creating a person out of thin air.

The key to Tang Xuening's search is Magneto. It has never been a problem for him to find a place in New York City with an inexplicable abnormal magnetic field (Note 1).

After finding the location, the high-dimensional space geometry taught by Luther back then came in handy.

"Then, does Miss Tang have any advice for coming here?"

Master Gu Yi didn't delve into the girl's ambiguity, she just pointed to the two suitcases lying on the ground next to the girl.

The two wide-open suitcases were filled with green banknotes, and she said with some dumbfounding:

"You come with a gift like that, do you think we are short of money?"

"Sorry, I may have made a mistake."

Well, how on earth do mages who can afford to buy land and build houses in New York, London, and Hong Kong, while neither charging tuition nor running a business, earn a legitimate income?

The girl always felt that the answer to this question might be very bad, so she gave up her plan to ask.

"I didn't mean to insult the mage, it's just that I owe too many favors outside, and now these things are the only things I have left.

Originally, I wanted to bring some antiques and art as gifts, but I am not familiar with identification and appreciation, so I think that instead of bringing some gifts that may not suit the owner's wishes, giving this kind of thing that the owner can decide for himself can be a better way Everyone saves a lot of time. "

Then the girl didn't play any word games that "you understand, I understand, everyone can't understand". This is a waste of time for the ancient master who has lived for an unknown number of years. She directly started the topic with a question.

"As for teaching, what advice can I, a person who only knows spells, give to a person who uses spells?

On the contrary, Mage Ancient One is a leader among mages. I think you should have your own unique views on the question of 'what is magic'. "

"The question of what magic is is as big as it is for a physicist to explain 'what is physics'."

To the question that the girl sounded completely "layman" to the professionals, Master Gu Yi still answered with a smile:

"I still have some opinions, but I don't know what aspect Miss Tang wants to hear?"

"For example, why are the locations of the temples in London, New York and Hong Kong?"

The girl tilted her head and asked.

"You must know that the history of New York and Hong Kong is less than 300 years old. New York used to be a swamp, Hong Kong used to be a fishing village, and as far as I know, the current London was rebuilt hundreds of years ago."

"The location of the magic node is the location of the temple. Since the location of the magic node is slowly changing over time, the location of the temple will naturally change accordingly."

Master Gu Yi explained after taking a sip of tea with his head bowed.

"Another example...why don't mages announce the existence of magic to the world?"

After receiving the answer, the girl continued to ask, but she narrowed her eyes slightly when asking this question.

"The world is not ready for magic."

But this question is not a problem for the Ancient One mage at all. Almost every mage apprentice will ask a similar question, and they will get the same answer with similar differences.

"Then is it convenient for the mage to explain what you think is the standard of 'they are ready'?"

the girl asked again.

"When they can overcome their ignorance and greed."

Seeing the sneer on the girl's face, Ancient One explained lightly:

"Please don't think this is our arrogance, let alone that we have no confidence in humanity itself.

Rather, the world of magic is too dangerous for the current world—in a world whose rules are completely different from reality, curiosity often brings disaster instead of progress.

In that wonderful world between spirit and reality, there are too many temptations and tests, and human beings simply cannot bear the result of not withstanding these tests.

Human beings still need enough time to grow up, otherwise magic is not only not a gift to them, but instead carries the most malicious curse.

Just as any parent will not let their children play freely in the virgin forest, until they are mature enough, we will continue to act as the fence between the children and the forest. "

"When the nuclear bomb was invented, some people seemed to say that it would eventually destroy mankind, but what happened?"

But the girl didn't quite agree with Master Ancient One's explanation.

"I think the United Nations should send it a certificate to recognize its contribution."

"Just a crazy mage who has not withstood the test can cause extremely terrifying damage, and an accidental wrong choice is likely to attract terrifying enemies, which is why we are so cautious in recruiting apprentices.

The nuclear bomb not only requires the president to order, at least two members of the national defense committee to approve, but also two base commanders to turn the key at the same time to start the launch process. As long as one of them is rational, there will be no tragedy, right? ? "

After finishing speaking, Master Gu Yi calmly raised his teacup under the girl's amazed eyes, blinked and said:

"Don't be surprised, we're not savages, and Tom Clancy's novels are a good pastime for the break."

"Doesn't that just mean that human beings lack a mentor in the exploration of high dimensions?"

But teenage girls are never easily persuaded, she explained.

"Children will come into contact with that world sooner or later, so let them understand what is dangerous under supervision, and tell them why it is dangerous, what should be done?

Although mature parents will not let them run around in the virgin forest, they will take them to the dangerous forest and teach them how to use the resources in the forest to survive and develop, so that the children will grow up.

Although the flowers in the greenhouse are bright and beautiful, they can no longer adapt to the harsh nature. "

"Do you think it's really appropriate to take a baby to explore in the virgin forest?"

Master Gu Yi shook his head. She seemed to be reminded of a long time ago by the girl, and her face was full of regret and sigh.

After a moment of silence, she looked at the girl and said earnestly:

"Miss Tang, I don't feel any malice in your heart, so it can be seen that your view of magic should be out of goodwill.

But the temptation of power is too great - so big that the vast majority of people don't care about whether there are traps behind it for the sake of power.

And you also know too little about the inferiority of human beings. I have observed for so many years, the system is changing, society is changing, technology is changing, and human stupidity and greed have never changed.

Maybe someone can overcome their own inferiority with wisdom or perseverance, but there are too few such transcendents..."

"Actually, in my opinion..."

But this time Master Gu Yi's answer hit the girl's heart, and the corner of the girl's mouth twitched in a subtle way.

"As long as a certain method is used, surpassing is actually very simple."

"what do you mean?"

But the girl's answer also made Master Gu Yi frowned.

Because in her experience, a solution that is "simple" often means paying a bigger price elsewhere.

"As a master in the spiritual field, Master Gu Yi doesn't know if there is a means of spiritual connection?"

After seeing Master Gu Yi nodding, the girl pointed to her forehead.

"Then, let's take a look at the perspective of the transcendent..."

Master Gu Yi got up and came to the girl's side. With guard and doubts, he stretched out his palm and stuck it slowly.

Then, a wonderful world unfolds in her eyes.

The author has something to say: Note 1: According to the performance in the movie, sunlight and air can enter without hindrance, which shows that the temple of the mages is not completely isolated from the outside world

Note 2: Writer of military novels, author of novels such as "Hunting Red October" and "Shocking Nuclear Network", known as "every family should collect at least one of his novels".
