Louis quietly looked at the wizard who was highly respected in the local area.
Roland Oaks just looked up at Louis and said with a smile: "What answer do you want to hear from me?"
Louis said, "I don't care about other things, but there is only one thing... Are you doing something that may endanger the empire by staying here?"
Mage Roland spread his hands and said, "Of course not. I'm just an ordinary mage who wants to go back to my hometown to teach."
Louis shook his head and said, "Since when can a demigod be called mediocre?"
Although Louis has just broken through to the model level, his overall quality is actually at the peak of the model level.
With his current level, it is basically impossible for Legend to hide his strength in front of him.
But the fact is, when Louis saw Master Roland, he did not feel any power fluctuations from him at all.
This extreme restraint, either he is really an ordinary person, or...
That is, his power exceeds what Louis can currently understand.
In other words... he has to be at least a demigod.
Mage Roland smiled and said, "Don't be so vigilant. What I said is true. I have my own mission, but I teach my students sincerely."
Louis gave him a wary look.
The succubus' instinct did not smell any lie from him.
But he still found it outrageous.
A demigod, living in such a remote corner.
This is very counterintuitive.
Mage Roland stood up, opened the window, pointed to the mountains in the distance, and said calmly:
"There is a cave in the mountain. There are enemies on the other side of the cave. I have to guard this place."
Louis was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Space crack?"
Master Roland nodded.
Louis said, "If that's the case, then I can more or less understand it. I'll arrange for someone to come and clean up the space cracks in a while."
Mage Roland shook his head and said, "It can't be cleaned up. The other side of the cave is the Noisy Tunnel."
Louis paused, frowned and said:
"Noisy Sky Tunnel? We should find a way to close it. That place is too dangerous."
The noisy sky tunnels are some of the most dangerous places in the outer world.
There are actually a lot of planes in the outer world, but the number of the most powerful planes is not that many.
According to the camp division, each camp has a corresponding powerful plane.
There is also a transitional plane between camps.
For example, the outer plane corresponding to the lawful good camp is called Mount Heaven.
The outer plane corresponding to the neutral good camp is called Elysium.
The transitional plane between lawful good and neutral good is called the Twin Heavens.
The several top planes in the outer world are distributed according to this camp and are adjacent to each other.
The gods' kingdoms are usually located in these planes.
If this still doesn't fully explain the horror of the Noisy Empty Tunnel, let me put it another way.
The noisy empty tunnel is also called the Hall of Demons.
It is a transitional plane between chaotic evil and chaotic neutral.
The plane represented by chaotic evil is the source of the greatest dark force in the entire Star Continent.
The bottomless abyss.
The Four Gods of the Abyss dwell in the bottomless abyss.
So Louis showed such an ugly expression after hearing Mage Roland say that on the other side of the cave was the Noisy Tunnel, which was always famous for its destruction and whose reputation was not much better than the Abyss.
Roland Oaks shook his head and said:
"That hole cannot be closed. The connection between the Tunnels of Chaos and the main material plane has been completely cut off, leaving only this last hole on the continent."
"It is impossible to completely close the hole in the outer world."
"This is the law of the world. If the hole is completely closed, the Star Continent will be permanently isolated from the rest of the world."
"So even if this hole is closed, new holes leading to the Noisy Sky Tunnel will soon appear on the Star Continent."
"Because the world does not allow itself to be completely closed."
"If you seal it up, who can guarantee that there won't be a bigger hole later?"
“It might be even more troublesome by then.”
"The cave in the mountains is very small. It is enough to leave a demigod to guard it."
"If we really encounter an irresistible enemy, a demigod can close a hole of this size directly."
Louis shook his head:
"No matter how small the hole is, it is not easy to close it without the corresponding means."
Roland said, "It's actually very easy to close. Just let the demigod put his own demiplane in it."
Louis smacked his lips.
It is truly worthy of being the Enther Empire, a country full of martial virtues.
Even the powerful people in the society have this attitude.
He couldn't help but think of the Emperor.
The Emperor made the same choice.
The reason why the gate to the largest abyss on the continent can still be controlled is because the emperor used his own domain to block the gate.
I didn’t expect that in such a remote village, other demigods would do the same thing.
"It's strange what you said... It's like you've been guarding here for years."
Roland Oakes said nothing.
Louis raised an eyebrow.
"You haven't really been guarding here for many years, have you?"
"It's us." Roland Oaks said calmly, "Our lineage of mages has been guarding here all the time."
Louis did not refute. Anyone who could train a demigod wizard would not be a simple character.
Roland Oaks didn't find it strange when he gave this answer.
So he said:
"How long have you been guarding here?"
Roland glanced at him: "Not long."
But the next sentence really shocked Louis.
"Our history is very short, only 5,000 years."
When Roland Oaks said this, there was a calmness in his voice that Louis found difficult to understand.
Just take everything for granted.
But Louis was so overwhelmed by that attitude that he didn't know what to say.
Five thousand years? Even in the Star Continent where immortal species emerge in endlessly, most countries do not have a history of five thousand years.
However, Mage Roland said that their lineage had been guarding here for five thousand years.
Perhaps sensing Louis's surprise, Roland stood up and patted him on the shoulder:
"Would you like to come with me to take a look? The scenery near the entrance of the Noisy Sky Tunnel is quite unique."
Louis nodded.
Although he was surprised by Mage Roland's honesty, he would not just listen to his empty words and take everything he said as true.
Not long after, he came to an underground cave.
In the cave, he saw many traces of human life.
But there were only traces, no one was seen.
Louis had a strange expression on his face: "Didn't you say you've been guarding this place for a long time? How come we didn't see anyone?"
Mage Roland said as a matter of course:
"Because there have always been only three of us in our lineage."
"Three people?"
"My disciples are still being trained, and they should still be attending school and studying hard."
"So I have to bring you here myself."
“No one is normal.”
Louis said incredulously:
"How can a group of only three people train demigods smoothly every generation?"
What does this mean? If, as Mage Roland said, his teacher can clean up his mess, then his sleeping teacher must be at least as good as Roland.
This idea of passing it down from generation to generation, with each generation providing a backup for the next generation...
"It's like saying that every generation of your inheritors is a demigod."
Roland Oaks said calmly, "You are right. Every generation of our guardians is a demigod. It has been like this for generations."
A 100% success rate? Louis felt his head buzzing, as if he was kidding himself.
He was about to ask something else when he suddenly noticed abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding space.
In a trance, I seemed to feel that a huge world was approaching me.
"Demiplane? And the feeling this demiplane gives people... Have you separated the origin of the demiplane and the demigod?"
Roland said, "Well, it's the same situation as the demiplane you have now, but ours is more extreme. Our lineage has only had one demiplane from the beginning to the end."
"We usually call this demiplane 'Spark'."
"As long as the flame is not extinguished, the inheritance will not stop."
Louis looked at Roland with a sigh and said, "I think I understand what you are doing."
Master Roland smiled and said nothing.
Louis murmured, "What a genius idea. The reason why you can continuously produce demigods is because of this demiplane that has lasted for 5,000 years."
Mage Roland made no secret of it:
"It seems that you have guessed it. Unlike ordinary professionals, our lineage is not so much a professional as a living professional in this demiplane."
"Generation after generation nurtures the growth of this demiplane. When the current generation dies, the next generation will inherit the power of the demiplane."
"Because the Fire Seed Demiplane is special, the power passed down will continue to nourish the new successor, allowing him to break through to the Demigod level at the fastest speed."
"Well, it's a very simple idea."
Louis couldn't help but say:
"What if the person who inherited the demiplane escapes?"
Roland shook his head and said, "It's not because I inherited a demiplane that I have to choose to guard the cave entrance."
"But because I wanted to protect the cave entrance, I inherited the demiplane."
Louis smacked his lips and asked again:
"After the Fire Demiplane is transferred to the next successor, what should the original people do?"
Roland said: "It will quickly decay and die."
"So in order to ensure a backup plan, after we pass the inheritance to the next generation, we will use special means to fake our own deaths."
"This way, at least we can leave a trump card for those who come later."
Louis said, "Is it worth it? If I'm not mistaken, you'll be confined to the mountains for the rest of your life."
Sitting in front of the twisted space crack, Roland said with a smile:
"I feel OK. Although there are severe restrictions, there are still many things I can do in this big mountain."
Louis said: "For example, training talents and letting them get out of the mountains?"
Roland nodded and said, "It would be even better if I could make life in my hometown better."
"Because the demiplane is restricted, I can't go far. Some of the children who have left the mountains have come back to persuade me to go to a big city and show my value."
“Although they think it’s a pity for me to be like this.”
Standing in front of the entrance to the noisy tunnel, he seemed particularly talkative.
But when he talked about his students, he became a little shy:
"I quite like working on this land, so I don't really have many complaints."
"My teachers gave me a great education, but I'm content with that. Is it a little strange for me to think this way?"
Seeing his somewhat embarrassed expression, Louis shook his head and said:
“Why is it strange? I still feel that the purpose of our education is to help our hometown escape poverty, not to escape our poor hometown.”
Roland Oaks looked back at Louis and nodded his head, "If you can understand, that would be great."
Louis stood up, patted his trouser legs and said:
"Today's chat was very pleasant and made me feel much more at ease."
Roland stretched out his hand and said:
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness Louis."
Louis smiled:
"You've been to the capital and met me?"
Roland said, "I once took the next generation of inheritors to the imperial capital to buy some necessities for the children."
Louis suddenly realized:
"Let me guess, is his name Michel Caroline?"
Mage Roland said with some surprise:
"I didn't expect you to investigate so carefully."
Louis said: "A good teacher is one who can lead students to the right future. I am very sure that you have this ability."
Roland laughed softly: "Why are you so sure?"
Louis pointed to his eyes and said, "Because I saw it with my eyes."
Michelle Caroline is the brightest talent born in the early stages of the Giant River Project.
He did not leave the poor town where he was born and raised, but inherited Roland Oaks's will and became the principal of the next generation of school.
So it is with one generation, so it is with the next generation.
Louis held out his hand and said:
"Mr. Roland, if you encounter any difficulties, please tell me."
“Don’t force yourself, and don’t take it all on your own.”
"Enther is a vast land with many talented people. There will always be someone who can help you."
Mage Roland said: "Will it be too much trouble?"
Louis said, "No, why bother? They always say that a true hero never lets his brilliance dim no matter where he is."
He paused and said softly:
"Now I see it, it's real."
"You can wait and see, maybe someone else will help you."
Mage Roland was curious:
"Help me with what?"
"Help you realize your wish and teach a man how to fish."
Louis left a communication crystal and turned to leave the cave.
Master Roland looked at Louis' back for a long time, and suddenly smiled with relief.
"Actually, when I was trapped here at the beginning, I still had some complaints."
He touched his chest, suddenly smiled and said:
“Teacher, but now I think this is really good.”
On the other side, the City of Art branch of the Church of Love.
A wizard wearing a tall hat looked at the priest standing over there, took off his hat and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has been waiting for me for a long time?"
The priest looked up and nodded.
If there are believers here, they will definitely find that this priest is the cardinal in charge of regional management.
A new undercurrent is surging in the city of art.
