Chapter 468: Relying on Strength
There are not many qualified mages in Kamar-Taj, so even if all were called back here, there would be less than a hundred people, young and old.
In the final analysis, any magic training system first relies on talent, and a wizard's talent is often one in a million.
Kamar-Taj's channels for recruiting new blood are relatively narrow, and most of them are selected from orphanages under its name; the testing method is also very strict, so some talented but unlucky people are eliminated at the first opportunity; plus there will be more or less casualties in dealing with mysterious events, so that Kamar-Taj has no more than a hundred people in its heyday.
——The period when Ancient One was in charge of Kamar-Taj was the heyday of Kamar-Taj.
Jiang Shan and Gu Yi stood side by side in front of the mages. He looked at these mages and found only a few familiar faces - Casillas with a big ponytail, the black man Mordo, and the fat mage Wang. Only these few, the rest were strangers.
Casillas is obviously a very smart person since childhood; Mordo has a serious and old-fashioned look, and his personality is also obvious at a glance.
Master Wang is always smiling and is an optimist.
Gu Yi pressed his hands: "Everyone, be quiet."
The mages fell silent.
Ancient One said: "Today there is a very important matter, so I called back the wizards who were away to announce this matter in front of everyone."
"I have been the leader of the Kamar-Taj mystics for hundreds of years. Over the past hundreds of years, I have been working diligently and without slacking off."
"At this point, I am broken and can no longer continue."
"I have been planning for retirement for a long time, but I have never found the right person."
"Both Kaecilius and Mordo are excellent mages, but Kaecilius has concerns and Mordo is inflexible; their magic power is not yet at the level to take over Kamar-Taj."
Listening to Ancient One's words, the mages had different expressions.
Gu Yi's impartial evaluation of Casillas and Mordo caused most of the mages to nod slightly.
To become a supreme wizard, powerful magic power is one of the most important things, but a strong mind is the most important thing. Casillas and Mordo are both senior wizards who have been with everyone for many years. Everyone knows their abilities and personalities.
At this time, Casillas stood up and said bluntly: "Excuse me, Supreme Ancient One. I have a question."
Gu Yi waved his fan, signaling him to speak.
Casillas said: "I understand your concerns. Not everyone is qualified to take over the position of the Supreme Mage."
"But." He pointed at Jiang Shan: "From what you said, you intend to hand over Kamar-Taj to Mr. Jiang Shan."
Casillas paused and said, "I admit that Mr. Jiang Shan is an amazing person. I am Romanian. Romania has received assistance and investment from China Industry. In less than a year, it has changed beyond recognition. As a Romanian, I am very grateful for this."
"But Mr. Jiang Shan is a scientist."
He said: "And Kamar-Taj is a mystical organization. I can't imagine what a mystical organization led by a scientist would look like."
"Our enemies are powerful, and our situation is dangerous. We need a Sorcerer Supreme who understands the mysteries and has the ability to suppress them, not a scientist."
Casillas' words were reasonable and well-reasoned, winning the approval of most mages.
Gu Yi nodded slightly: "Casillas, what you said makes sense - if he is really just a scientist."
"But he's obviously more than just a scientist," he said.
Said: "Jiang Shan is very powerful, I am not as good as him."
Casillas frowned, stared at Jiang Shan deeply, and didn't speak for a while. Gu Yi said that she was not as good as Jiang Shan, Casillas didn't believe it, but Jiang Shan might be more than just a scientist. His temperament, in some ways, is similar to Gu Yi.
Mordo said: "I believe in the Supreme Ancient One."
He has always taken Gu Yi's words and deeds as his guiding principle, so he has no doubt about the truthfulness of what Gu Yi said.
In the original plot, Mordo's subsequent rebellion also originated from this. He believed in the Ancient One, but the Ancient One secretly absorbed the power from the enemy, which broke his fantasy about the Ancient One and made him change his mind - he was a person who didn't know how to adapt - of course, the Ancient One did break the wizard's ban - it was strictly forbidden to use power other than white magic.
He said: "But what Casillas said also makes sense."
He looked at Jiang Shan and said seriously: "Mr. Jiang, I respect you. But Kamar-Taj is different. It shoulders a very important responsibility."
"We are not sure whether you are capable of dealing with those mysterious enemies. If you can't do it, Kamar-Taj will suffer, and the entire earth will suffer. This is a very serious matter!"
Jiang Shan laughed.
He said: "My purpose in coming to Kamar-Taj is to take over as the Sorcerer Supreme. I will not deny this."
He looked full of confidence.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I know Kamar-Taj and what Kamar-Taj does. You know I'm a scientist, and scientists are rigorous."
"I won't do anything rashly; I will think carefully before doing anything."
He said: "As Master Ancient One said, I am more than just a scientist."
He smiled and said, "What everyone is doubting is whether I have the ability like the Ancient One to block all the dangers from the mysterious side."
"I can tell you now, of course there is."
He stretched out his hand, and the world turned upside down, and the reverse scene was in control! "This spell should be familiar to everyone; in my opinion, it is called reverse scene; in the secret magician, it is called mirror space."
The mages' expressions changed drastically.
One by one, the magical power is looming.
Jiang Shan said: "When a secret magician reaches a certain level, he or she will know this spell more or less, and each has his or her own understanding of how to break this spell. I will cast it now, and you can use any method you want. As long as you break my reverse world, I will keep silent about taking over as the Supreme Mage."
Gu Yi beside him laughed and shook his head, saying to Jiang Shan: "You are making things difficult for them."
Even Gu Yi felt that he was not sure of cracking Jiang Shan's reverse world.
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "We have to let everyone try. You must know that I, Jiang Shan, took over Kamar-Taj based on my real strength."
Gu Yi gently waved his fan and smiled without saying a word.
At this time, the wizards had already shown their magical powers and used all kinds of strange methods. The first choice was the space gate that was shooting sparks.
They tried to open the door, sparks flying everywhere, but they just couldn't open it! Even mages like Casillas and Mordo seemed to hit a solid wall when they tried to open the door.
