Chapter 258. a (7)
The brutal war god who killed Beta beings on sight was this young? How could anyone predict this when they were to weak to fight on the front lines? But, no matter what,
Anyway, if you're here looking for the creator of Mana Burn, you've co to the right place. Nice to et you. I'm
Life may take a winding path, but as long as it reaches Seoul in the end, that's what matters.
The war hero lightly introduced himself, though there was no handshake or any physical contact. Alphaurins, especially among fellow mages, didn't find touch to be particularly safe or reassuring.
By the way, the Academic Hall? You an that outdated gathering place of the ruling class is already back in operation?Yes.When I entered the treasure vault, the main building was still in ruins.Collecting scholars was the difficult part, but the building itself was quickly restored.Hoo.We always welco the great hero's arrival.That's quite a surprising thing to hear. Back in the day, just touching the tip of a lowly creature's tentacle would have resulted in skin and bone being stripped away in that place.
Finally, the main topic flows. His reaction to the invitation was not bad. This green wizard was a mysterious strongman who seed to have fallen from the core of a star.
Magic. Even those who built civilizations with such mysterious concepts eventually attached a word aning "social animal" to their scientific nas.
A grand hall where countless magic scholars gather to seek the truth.
There are things in this world that even a person of extraordinary genius can't accomplish alone.
Well, it's a good thing.
A passing thought.
I was just starting to think that I needed a proper research environnt myself.
The war hero soon accepts the ssenger's proposal. In the months spent reading the king's grimoires, a clear sense of purpose had taken root in his heart.
He wanted a colleague to share his ideas with. Moreover, if it was the Academic Hall, he wouldn't have to struggle so much; he could easily obtain the tools needed for magic research. A mont later...
The two Alphaurins in front of the treasure vault mounted the beast sent by the Academic Hall and began their journey toward the distant northern waters.
And the current flowed, and flowed, and flowed on...
***
He finally entered the academy.
W, welco!
Honestly, it was an invitation that seed more like a challenge, like trying to poke at sothing you can't even eat. But for the hero of the great war to co to the institution so willingly!
Oh, you're co! You've really co at just the right ti!
The green compatriot enters through the main gate. At this, the administrator of the Academic Hall jumps up and greets him.
Wrinkled, rough skin. A gelatinous area with an overall dull complexion. In other words, an elderly planetary compatriot.
This elderly scholar was an Alphauri known by a na that sounded sothing like "Salpa." In the distant past, he had earned recognition as an Archmage—a testant to his prowess. Naturally, he had made significant contributions during the Great War as well, and would likely secure at least two and a half pages in future history books without much difficulty.
Thank you for choosing our Academic Hall. I've been waiting for soone like you to join us. After all, compared to those ard bandit groups like the Mage Tower, we... well, we're honest and have a proper foundation!Ard bandits.It's barely been any ti since the Great War ended, and they're already kidnapping orphans for illegal experints, or so I hear. Their organization may be larger than our Academy, but honestly, those kinds are beneath us. Not the sort we should associate with. When you say kidnapping orphans, do you an the bone experints? No, that damn bone collection was noisy even before I entered the treasure room, and what do you an by it?
No matter what accomplishnts they may have achieved in the past, no sorcerer can take the founder of [Mana Burn] lightly.
The head of the Academic Hall, Salpa, soon laughed loudly and flattered the young man before him. As a bonus, he promised him all sorts of luxurious conditions.
Food expenses? Covered. Housing costs? Covered. And if he ever needed rare and expensive research samples—he could have as many as he wanted!
In return, we only ask that you present your research—any topic is fine, even light magic—at our conference once every two years.
If the mbers of the Academy, starving for knowledge, could even gather scraps of research from such a genius, it would be an absolute bargain for them.
By the way, we will naturally give you the best spot in the building for your laboratory.
Bow, bow.
The person in charge who lowers his posture as if he were a compatriot's tentacle cleaner. This attitude brought ample satisfaction to the naturally arrogant genius.
Yeah. Well, let's just do our best going forward, as fellow compatriots.Yahoo~!
The glorious recruitnt was a success. Now, it was ti to prepare custom experintal tools for the massive (who had grown quite a bit recently, apparently) deep-sea dweller. As soon as the much-anticipated new mber entered the Academic Hall, the person in charge imdiately shouted to the nearby workers. He instructed them to gather all the skilled craftsn from the workshops right away.
And ti passed. Around the 2nd week...
As can be seen from his actions on Earth, the blue deep-sea dweller, with his remarkable adaptability, had already beco accustod to the structure of the Academy by this ti. In the past, when he had to hurriedly research the Mana Burn technique on the battlefield, the number of assistants had been severely restricted to prevent any information from being sold to the enemy for personal gain. But now, there was no need to operate so closed-off.
The era of golems will co in the future.You're always saying that, aren't you, war hero?The era where those frustrating clay figures surpass living creatures? I just can't seem to imagine it.
Instead, they had to actively communicate. The green Alphaurin, now in the era of peace, was about to carry out research more in line with his own preferences. And surprisingly, the arrogant magician's interests were unexpectedly related to improving the lives of the citizens.
The golem creation technique invented by Scholar XXX is truly amazing. It's revolutionary!
In fact, golems of this mid-era were still overall unreliable creatures.
[Weapon Golemology] [Organic Golemology]
Even though the classification system that would be used for the future was firmly established from the beginning, it was still a long process even for Earthlings, who had clear limitations in their operational range, to create sophisticated chanical arms. How much more difficult was it for these Alphaurins, who could have six tentacles freely without joints?
Is a golem reality that great?
Machines are dumb. That was the common belief among the mages of the ti. Even if a sorcerer controlled a puppet individually, golems were particularly awkward and slow. To think that they would give them personalities and create an automated era.
It's a difficult concept. At this point, the idea that there might be highly intelligent extraterrestrial mammals sowhere in the world, worshipping fire as their origin, would actually seem more believable.
Anyway, if you master telekinesis, you can move objects with just a glance. I wonder if it will actually be efficient.Efficiency can be dealt with later.Machines can't be trusted. No matter how you look at it, they're still inferior to a magician doing things directly with their tentacles.
But one genius steadfastly held onto his interests.
Golems. Especially if unmanned golems, controlled remotely without the need for the Alphaurin to physically intervene, were to evolve, the dream era would co. Society's available labor force would increase explosively. Simple and aningless tasks could be left to machines, allowing magicians to focus on more interesting subjects.
Furthermore, even if an ergency like the Great War were to occur again, it would be the sa. If unmanned golem technology were sufficiently developed, wouldn't it be possible to defend the planet without loss of life?
Still, in any case, I'm going to stake everything on this technology. Whether they're soldiers or civilians, I'm really getting sick of seeing bodies piling up on this planet in so many ways.
Soone clasps their tentacles behind their back.
Besides, golem technology actually holds imnse and limitless value.Of course. If soone like you, a prodigy, gets involved, wouldn't any attribute be possible?
The green deep-sea creature let out an excited sound at the praise.
But I don't know if it's because our family has been researching divination magic for generations, but I just don't think the era of those clay figures will co anyti soon in this generation~
After waiting for a mont, the sound of cold water being poured ca from the side, but the genius quickly rebutted. It was a fairly gentle tone.
After all, the inhabitants of this planet, who had been swimming through the corridors together since earlier, were all future companions who had promised the sa grand plan. Why would we blush over such a trivial matter?
Actually, I know that too. Plus, I co from deep-sea bloodlines. My internal organs can't keep up with my volu, so my life expectancy is shorter than others!
Soon, they stopped swimming.
But, isn't it precisely because of that, that a genius like you ended up participating in such an absurd plan?
What appeared ahead was a massive cave. It was originally an open space, but here, solid-state sound direction devices were installed on the ceiling to ensure the vibrations spread efficiently. Scattered around were various gemstones that emitted light in different colors. The marine creatures who appeared from the corridor followed the waves emitted by the gemstones, each finding their respective spot to sit. And as each of the six sections filled with their respective occupants, the thin, gaunt scholar waiting in the center began to introduce the topic.
You all arrived without being late. Well, for us, ti is truly sothing to be asured.The ones gathered here were mostly Archmage. And they all belonged to the sa faction. One person, though not yet an Archmage, had earned their place at the table due to their historic achievents during the Great War.Eh... This week, we did get a new collaborator, soone who was a soldier on the front lines. But, I'm sure everyone already knows about it. Shall we get to the main topic?That's right.Let's do that.How old was that person again...?Silence. Silence.Then I will start first.
After joining the Academy, the green deep-sea dweller began to pursue two long-awaited research projects simultaneously. One was an in-depth study of golem magic, and the other was the matter at hand in this place...
If we trace back our ancestors, we can see a considerable relationship with the Cnidaria. So, if I use the newly discovered immortal Hydra colony, this group may be able to achieve its goal.Was the verification process thorough enough?That's the topic of today's presentation, but based on my observations, the floating Hydra really seems to be theoretically incapable of dying from old age.
Aiming for 'immortality'. The length of a lifeti is far too short and insufficient to uncover the secrets of the captivating world of magic. This was the certainty the genius had gained during the one year spent in the treasure vault. However, even with this understanding, one couldn't recklessly attempt sothing like the developnt of ti-reversal magic.
Maybe in the distant future, a magician who controls ti might appear, but if we start researching that now, we'll just die of old age before we get anywhere.
He changed his thinking. No, in fact, all the magicians present at the table did as well. If they couldn't directly intervene in the grand flow of ti itself, then the most feasible attempt would be to extend their own lifespan. The genius made that judgnt. So, after the war, he joined a small club within the Scholarly Hall and began collective research.
Life extension. The preservation of youth. And for so, the activities of the Immortality Society, which sincerely sought eternal life.
