Chapter 45: The Dark Wizard and the 9 Realms

　　 Black wizards who master the "Evil Domain" are extremely rare on this continent, and are almost the same as the wizards of the "Rare Domain", and can be said to be the inheritance of the endangered domain.
The rare field is extremely scarce due to its original school of inheritance. There are strict confidentiality methods inside, which are difficult for outsiders to contact, not to mention extensive exchanges that can promote the advancement of knowledge. In addition, according to rumors, "prophecy" and "mind" schools The qualification requirements of the learners are extremely high. It is said that only a small group of people with special blood can use it. Therefore, the relevant knowledge passed down is becoming scarcer. Once every rare field wizard is noticed, it will be recruited by major wizard groups. , Control and even close supervision.
　　 And the inheritance of the evil field is showing signs of severing, especially the reason why this has almost disappeared in recent decades, is more simple and rude. Nowadays, the country under the rule of the Church of Orthodox God is becoming stronger and stronger. The brilliance of God has almost enveloped the entire Maya continent. Therefore, once the traces of evil spells are discovered, or the dark wizards appear in places where people live, the world Almost all official forces will take action and join in hunting and hunting.
　　The black wizard is the target of public criticism. Facing this kind of fanfare hunting behavior, knowledge of the evil field has become a "taboo" that people are afraid to avoid. Even those who are ambitious and greedy for power and knowledge should weigh the risk of exposure to evil; in addition, those dark wizards who can still survive will not act in an open manner. It is difficult to contact them, let alone Said to obtain taboo knowledge from this group of people.
　　 Rasputin, as one of the leaders of the magic tower, has the kind of cold personality that has no taboo. There is no record of magic knowledge in the evil domain in his database, and you can imagine how rare it is. This makes Richard even more curious.
　　In the middle ancient history of mankind, there were records of religious forces uniting with secular forces to hunt witches and witches, and this witch hunting movement lasted for a whole hundred years. But unlike that time, in this
new world
that inherited the super-techniques of the past, wizards really have incredible powers in the eyes of ordinary people. Although the Orthodox Church lacks a good impression of this group of unbelievers, it does not adopt a hostile attitude. The same is true for the secular kings and nobles-only those with broken heads will put the entire wizarding community on the opposite side.
　　 If you describe it as the
prestige
in video games, the relationship between the Orthodox Church and the wizarding community is probably between
neutrality
and
coldness
. As for privately, there are not a few clergy who maintain good contacts with some wizards.
　　 However, their attitude towards the dark wizard is still very firm. The hunt for the dark wizards is widely supported on the mainland, including the wizard family and the forces in the wizard tower, all hostile to the dark wizards. The main reason is that the power of the evil realm will indeed cause great damage to human civilization, and even bring about the destruction of humanity.
　　 This is not groundless rumors. In the past history, there have been several catastrophes caused by black wizards who have mastered powerful forces. Some of them are originally ambitious, and there are even lunatics hoping to rule the Maya continent through fear and violence, and there are a small group of dark wizards with unshakable consciences, who actually did not anticipate the evil field that is out of control. Power can cause such a catastrophe... but no matter what it is, the result is the same.
　　 One-third of people in a country died of the plague, or all adults over twenty years old in a certain city died under the curse. These are true records.
　　 Richard is curious about the nature of the "evil realm", especially the "curse spell" that he doesn't understand.
　　 Now Richard knows that the seemingly incredible abilities possessed by wizards are based on the advanced technology of the "future era" for him. Therefore, every kind of magic domain has knowledge corresponding to the past.
Wizards in the natural domain can manipulate wind, rain, lightning, water, fire, and the earth, as well as all kinds of energies. They are the most destructive and combat powerful group in theory; the wizards in the spell domain are best at parsing spells and prototypes, and their fighting methods It also analyzes the magical effect of the opponent and writes "anti-curses" to make the enemy's spells collapse on its own; the wizards in the life field are good at manipulating and researching animals, plants and even demons, creating new species, and refining potions; the field of alchemy Can make a variety of props to fight, including alchemy golems he has seen, etc.; the psychic domain can summon the existence of the spirit world, and use them to exert power beyond oneself.

　　 Of course, the above are some of the most prominent features of each major field, and they cannot cover all knowledge. But Richard can imagine what kind of technology is supporting the various magical powers. Once he understands the truth behind the Mayan world, it is not difficult to make this judgment.
The same is true for the rare field. The more advanced knowledge in the field of prophecy is naturally "prophecy". Regarding this ability that sounds too mysterious, Richard has not yet had a clear idea, but most of the prophecy wizards actually They can't reach the realm of mastering prophecy, so their ability is more called the "perceptual domain", which is much easier to understand; while the mental domain is known for exploring and manipulating human emotions and thoughts, and its foundation Thinking about it is beyond his imagination to build future psychology based on neuroscience.
As for the "plague" in the evil field, it is probably the virological research closely related to life science and biotechnology. The genetic science and molecular biology of the future era must have developed to a terrible point, which can create viruses that can cause serious infectious diseases. Not surprisingly. Richard believes that this is the reason why some dark wizards cannot master this power.
　　 But... what is the essence of the "cursed realm"? Judging from historical records, this seems to be a force no less threatening than the plague...
　　 Richard and Evelyn were standing on the stairs, chatting one after another. He was listening most of the time and the other party was talking. This does not arouse suspicion, but if you say too much, it is easy to get exposed. Richard felt that his acting skills were becoming more comfortable.
　　 Just then, the banquet suddenly became quiet. A girl in a ceremonial dress with a long silver-white ponytail ascended to the platform in full view.
