Chapter 0988: Tianzhi Baita Visiting Group (Part 1)



Fang Zheng had thought about contacting the Magic Kingdom a long time ago.

Because the situation in the main world is different from that in other worlds.

According to many online stories, the protagonist usually gets something from another world and wants to hide it for the rest of his life, or simply do it himself and gradually show those things in this world. There are many concerns, such as worrying about being abused and threatened, or being afraid of losing the trump card, or being discovered by others and treated as an alien.

But the mages in the main world don’t have so many concerns.

The reason is simple, they are used to it.

In the main world, many high-level wizards would travel through the planes when they had nothing to do. They would use magic to go to the astral plane, and then travel from the astral plane to various planes. From time to time, they would bring back some civilization creations or knowledge from other planes to share.

However, in many cases, the characteristics of other planes are too unique, and the things brought back are of no reference value to the mages in the main world. However, some are very useful, such as the anti-gravity array used by mages to build magic warships, which was brought back from other worlds by a mage hundreds of years ago and improved for use in the civilization of the main world.

That's why Fang Zheng specially brought these things back from other worlds and gave them to the White Tower.

The truth is that Fang Zheng doesn’t need to worry about the issues that the protagonists in other online novels need to worry about.

Are you afraid that the spread of technology will cause the civilization of the main world to become more violent and dangerous?

Haha, the legendary wizards in the main world can destroy a country with a flick of their hands, and there is no radiation pollution. It is much more powerful than nuclear bombs. Why are you still worried about this? After all, the nuclear bombs are nested in the launch silo and will not move. You, a wizard, will go to who knows where if you use the teleportation spell.

Worried about being exposed and being treated as an outcast?

Unfortunately, world-travelling in the main world is not the privilege of the protagonist. Most mages, especially high-level mages and legendary mages, like to run around in the astral planes when they have nothing to do, looking for the source of knowledge or the truth of the universe. Even if the mages in the White Tower discover Fang Zheng's "time-travelling" ability, they will at most exclaim in amazement and then do what they have to do.

What's more, there are so many races in the main world and in the outer planes, such as angels, demons, mind flayers, elves, dwarves, and frost giants. Which one is not an alien?

The mind flayer also eats human brains. Why don’t you try taking a bite?

You don’t even dare to eat the brain, and you still have the nerve to worry about being seen as an alien?

Of course, there is another main reason why Fang Zheng did this, that is, the current main world is already in the early stages of the magic industrial revolution, and he doesn't mind letting these mages learn more about knowledge from other worlds and accelerate the improvement of their own civilization level.

Although magic and technology have different focuses, the development of civilization itself is a process of trial and error, and even if they are different, at least the development goals are similar. Take power for example, the main world certainly won't be stupid enough to develop engines in the technological world, and magic power is much simpler and more convenient than electricity. But even so, those mechanical designs and manufacturing products can also give these mages some inspiration and let them have more ideas.

Just like Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon", at that time, all he could think of was to use a super large-caliber cannon to launch a person in a cannonball to the moon. This is obviously a bit ridiculous in the eyes of later generations, but the basis for Verne to write these is that humans first realized that they lived on a round planet, and the moon was another planet closest to them...

In the Middle Ages, although there were cannons, who would have thought of using them to shoot at the moon? Because they didn't have the knowledge base!

As for whether this knowledge is applicable, Fang Zheng is not worried.

Although he often complains that this is unscientific or that is unscientific, that is just a complaint. The essence of materialism is not to disbelieve in monsters and demons, but to understand the world objectively. In simple terms, the more you know, the easier it is to understand and know the world objectively.

For example, the resurrection of the dead would definitely be associated with various feudal superstitions in the Middle Ages. However, if modern people saw it, their first thought would definitely be the T virus. Of course, the T virus itself is just nonsense, but at least modern people would first think that it was some kind of virus or biological effect, rather than immediately thinking that it was the resurrection of the dead or possession by the deceased.

Why? Because there is no evidence to support this.

On earth, we have never seen ghosts, captured ghosts, observed ghosts, dissected ghosts, or understood ghosts, so they are considered non-existent. Because you have no evidence to prove their existence except for some urban legends heard from others, so they do not exist, this is a very simple truth.

The same is true for gods and demons.

Perhaps one day, based on the development of our science, we can observe creatures in other dimensions, and perhaps discover "souls" that really live in other dimensions. Then we can change the textbooks. Materialism is not a religious belief. If you hold on to a little bit of repentance, you are a fanatical crusader, not a qualified materialist.

On the other hand, it is normal for demons and undead to exist in the main world. Why? Because we can see demons and undead with our own eyes, catch them, dissect them, analyze them, know them, and even fight with them. So their existence is normal and reasonable.

This is very scientific and materialistic.

It can even be said that the mages in the main world are the most "materialistic" group of people, perhaps even more "materialistic" than the educated modern people on Earth. After all, many people on Earth, once they see something that is beyond their common sense, their first reaction is that they cannot understand or accept it. However, for mages, they have seen all kinds of strange things, no matter how rare they are, they can understand and accept their existence.

This is also one of the reasons why Fang Zheng felt very confident in sending these things to the White Tower.

As for the second reason...it's very simple, he wants to improve the level of civilization in the main world as soon as possible.

Although the message from the Goddess of Order that was discovered on the satellite before was unclear, one condition was very clear - that is, the civilization of the main world must first be able to break through the atmosphere and conduct interstellar travel before it is eligible to receive the message from the Goddess of Order.

This can only mean one thing - the dangers outside the starry sky are far greater than this, and being able to travel between the stars is the minimum necessary condition.

If the civilization level of the main world is not improved as soon as possible, does it mean that Fang Zheng will have to be the only savior?

Knowledge can be used to make up for the lack of foundation, but industrialization is still the most important, so Fang Zheng found all kinds of power systems and machinery from his own free world and gave them to Bai Ta, even including an F22 and Typhoon fighter jets, as well as high-precision lathes and various processing instruments.

Of course, Fang Zheng doesn’t care at all what the “owners” of these items would think. If he gets angry, he will just send them home for the New Year. His own amoeba is still waiting for the opportunity to show off its skills.

Hollywood loves to save the world so much, and Founder has plenty of opportunities to give them.

Anyway, the so-called "world" of Hollywood has nothing to do with Fang Zheng's country.

Of course, the White Tower, which had benefited from it, responded quickly. Soon, a team was quickly organized and then boarded the magic battleship and headed towards the Golden Bay.

Sitting on the sofa, Mary looked at the people around her, and they all felt somewhat awkward.

It turned out that, as Douglas said, the White Tower was quite "concerned" about Fang Zheng, which could be seen from the composition of the team they sent out. It brought together representatives from the eight major factions: the Evocation Department, the Prophecy Department, the Spell Department, the Enchantment Department, the Illusion Department, the Necromancer Department, the Defense Department, and the Transmutation Department.

Moreover, they were all people Mary was familiar with.

Sitting on the sofa on the other side, the girl with golden curly hair, dressed like a noble lady, was Emma Delian, the representative of the Illusion Department. In the White Tower, the Illusion Department had always been quite outstanding with its exaggerated and unique beauty, and Delian in front of him was as eye-catching as a peacock with its tail spread out...

However, narcissism is also a characteristic of illusion mages. Otherwise, why would they learn illusion?

In fact, Emma is indeed a young lady, which is rare in the White Tower, because although magic is indeed magical, it is also very boring.

This is actually the same as scientists on Earth. Everyone feels that they are very cool when they invent and create, but if you look at how many experiments and records they have to complete every day in the laboratory and on the computer, they are exhausted. Of course, some top students definitely enjoy it, but for most people, if they study number theory and conjectures for a year, it would be so boring that they might even want to jump off the building.

Most of the wizards in the White Tower come from ordinary families, and they all want to change their fate and future by learning magic, so even if learning magic is very boring, they can grit their teeth and endure it.

For those noble heirs from well-off families, learning magic is not as attractive as imagined, but there are exceptions.

Either someone is really interested in and likes this, or he is just extremely talented and can learn something in just a week that others may take years to master.

No setbacks, no failures, everything goes smoothly and happily from beginning to end. Most people dare not even think about such a thing, but some people are just geniuses. What can you do?

And Emma Delian is such a genius.

She first came into contact with magic when she saw an illusionist perform an illusion at a family ball... Most illusionists' daily work is basically to add luster to aristocratic gatherings or add special effects to performances.

To put it bluntly, many illusionists are actually no different from special effects artists.

Attracted by the colorful and beautiful illusions created by the illusionist, Emma began to enter the White Tower, joined the illusion faction and began to learn.

At that time, many people thought that this young lady would not be able to endure any hardship and would not even survive the life of an apprentice. However, the reality surprised them - this talented girl almost smoothly ascended to the level of a fifth-ring mage and was currently advancing to the sixth ring.

If she could really master the six-ring spell, then she could be considered the backbone of the White Tower.

However, even now, many of the mage apprentices who entered the White Tower at the same time as her are still lingering in the ranks of low-level mages at the first, second, and third rings...

From a certain perspective, this is indeed infuriating.

However, when Mary was looking at her carefully, she saw Miss Delian put down the teacup in her hand and looked at everyone around with a smile.

"Everyone, it's boring to just sit there like this, how about we chat?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

Hearing what Delian said, Mary frowned and asked, while Delian smiled slightly and looked at everyone thoughtfully.

"Well... we all know why we were sent out, so let's not hide it. Why don't you all tell us what you think of Mr. Fang Zheng?"
