I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

The archmage was stunned for a moment. This didn't seem like a question a magic apprentice should ask, but when she thought of Bennett and Mervyn's current relationship, she seemed to understand something vaguely.

"When I first taught Merwen, he lived in the Mage Tower every day. I helped him slowly get used to the lonely life of a mage, but strictly speaking, I didn't really regard him as a disciple and would not teach him the Calamity Rune. So after he broke through the truth, he left the Mage Tower to look for his own rune."

The Archmage paused and continued:

"When Mervyn came to become my disciple, he already had his own values. He could not get used to the life of an immortal. I brought Denise with me when she was young. She lived with me in the Mage Tower until she was 10 years old.

I am her teacher, so naturally I hope that she can inherit everything from me, and she has been imitating me. Now Denise is a qualified immortal. She may be confused, but facing the loneliness brought by time, she can already find ways to kill time and maintain herself.

After his wife died, Mervyn put all his energy into helping humanity. He researched industrial machinery in the North, seed improvement in the South, some therapeutic prescriptions, and today's large ships.

But his research was just an attempt to stop himself from thinking about his past life, which he didn't really like, so he soon got bored of it.

After getting bored, he began to travel around the world and went to another continent. After coming back, he went to Razlan, the territory of Count Giant Wolf, and became a territory wizard.

Until 11 years ago, he went to another continent again. After coming back, he fought with me, and then returned to the Earldom and accepted you as his apprentice.

After Mervyn and I fought, his mind actually began to become unstable. Generally, such a mage would choose to pass on his runes to the next generation, and then destroy himself before being devoured by magic power, and give the magic core to his disciples. "

Bennett was stunned for a moment, then said:

"I wanted to portray my current disaster, so I didn't choose Mervyn's disaster. Is that so, he..."

"Didn't Mervyn give you the rune?"

"Give it."

"The mage's inheritance ends when he gives you the rune. The rest is the mage's own path, which should be chosen by the mage himself.

So I sent you an invitation in the capital, and even asked Knight Allen to go to Razlan to invite you on behalf of the royal family. Although there are some royal considerations here, it is more of a reminder to Mervyn that he should let go. "

Beth was right. This was his hope at the time. Bennett opened his mouth and said another possibility:

"At that time, the orcs had already left traces on the border, and he couldn't let them go."

The Archmage nodded. She had been to see Razlan, met the Lord, and met Dashi. She knew what Mervyn wanted:

“Mervin’s madness didn’t just erupt all at once. When he went to Razlan, he definitely went with the intention of dying. But when he came to fight me, he had a strong will to live.

This is not normal. What made him want to live longer, even at a high price? But at this time he still had concerns. Later, something must have happened to dispel his concerns, which made him completely crazy. "

What happened? When Bennett told Mervyn that magic could guide people to self-heal, what was originally just an experimental idea of ​​healing magic became the light of hope for Mervyn to revive his family.

It was at this time that Mervyn really went crazy.

The knowledge he brought from his previous life has not brought any good changes to the world, but has driven his teacher crazy.

Just a conjecture of modern medicine led a natural disaster to extremes.

Maybe at that time I was just showing off my knowledge, shocking my teacher, or even holding the idea of ​​changing the world. Unfortunately, knowledge changes people and the world, but not necessarily for the better.

Bennett no longer had any doubts. It was time to leave.

"Thank you, Master."

Bennett bowed to the archmage and prepared to leave, pack up his things, and complete the transaction with the church.

"Wait a minute, Bennett."

Bennett looked back in confusion and saw the archmage taking out two storage scrolls from a crack.

"This is all the magic research of the Royal Capital Mage Tower over thousands of years. I summarized them into a book and stored them all in this scroll."

The archmage handed a scroll to Bennett, looked at the remaining scroll, and a conflicted look appeared on his face. Finally, he sighed and handed the scroll to Bennett.

"It contains some research on the cultivation of immortals, as well as records of the cultivation of immortals and some problems encountered by immortals."

Bennett looked at the scroll, not knowing whether he should take it or not. There was only one person left with the experimental results of the Immortal, and that was the great wizard in front of him. What was inside was probably the great wizard's self-analysis, most likely her life story.

"Take it. It can answer your questions."

Bennett accepted the scroll anyway.

“The most taboo thing for immortals is emotions. Without emotions, people are no different from stones. But we live in the human world. Humans have a lifespan of a hundred years, and before they have time to feel the vastness of the world, they will quickly grow old.

The short life span keeps humans busy, and also makes their emotions more passionate and more contagious.

The purpose of the Immortals' experiment is to create a god who is both transcendent and able to protect humans. Unfortunately, if he wants to protect humans, how can he be separate from humans?

Humans are not gods, and immortality is just an unrealistic dream of mankind."

Bennett looked at the archmage in shock, and the scroll in his hand suddenly became hot.

"What about Denise? Shouldn't these things be left to her?"

"I have to wait until Denise becomes the truth and inherits my rune. Then you will have to do the same thing as me. It will be considered as you repaying my favor."

Bennett put away the scroll in his hand and bowed deeply to the archmage.

"Then Master Meteorite, thank you for your guidance during this period."

"This is what every mage should do. It's getting late, you should leave as well."

Bennett took two steps back and turned to leave the archmage's garden.

Stepping onto the stairs of the Mage Tower again, Bennett planned to take one last look at this former holy land of mages.

There were corrupt student dormitories, dusty lab equipment, overturned tables and chairs, but what lingered Bennett the longest was the display shelf full of skulls.

Below each skull are hundreds of names, and these skulls are just one of the names selected from them.

Ten thousand skulls on display represent the sacrifices of millions of people. This is how the wizard was born. Without any tools to help, humans directly cut the skulls and embed the magic cores of animals into the human brain, giving humans the power of monsters.

The first group of people to undergo the experiment were ordinary humans. Later, after the ordinary humans succeeded, they were replaced by knights with high combat effectiveness.

Later, someone invented the magic core, and the knight's mage experiment was completely over. Later, humans carved the natural disaster rune, and the explosion...

After countless sacrifices, the structure of the human magic core was finally complete.

The power of a wizard is not easily obtained. Bennett took out the scroll given to him by the great wizard. He slowly unfolded the scroll of the Immortal and thought for a long time, but still did not take out the contents.
