Looking through these hidden histories, Sylutia can finally understand why such a big city as Blanur has not been rebuilt.
It's not so much a lack of financial investment as it is a certain taboo and alienation.
Star-Gazer School" has developed to that point and become so radical that Sylutia suspects that even if they don't resolve this conflict internally, Hour in the sky will intervene sooner or later.
Although Mithril Clock "inherited a small part of the knowledge of Star-Gazer School", it seems that the content of embracing the stars has been completely deleted.
With the current incomplete state of the world, it is still too dangerous and unreliable to welcome the era of stars. However, in that fanatical era, there were only a few people with reason, and it was difficult to prevent others from being coerced.
Due to the rise of Gold Steam", Mage Alliance has gradually turned to this new force, and the exploration of Alien Star" has gradually stopped. Currently, only a few factions such as Mithril Clock" are still involved.
For people in this world, the power of Stars has mixed reputations, or it may bring more disasters.
It brings life and light to this world, but also brings trial-like disasters.
Finally, Sylutia turned to the bottom of these books and saw the last line of writing.
"We failed and messed up everything, but one thing is unmistakable. Sooner or later, the protection of Dragons will be broken, and the world will welcome the arrival of Starss again in the future."
This sentence should have been written by the last member of Star-Gazer School, predicting the arrival of a certain doomsday.
When stars come into the world, whether they are reborn or destroyed, I am afraid only future generations can know.
After closing the book, the girl looked out the window and saw that it was already very late.
She was a little hungry. She kept flipping through the book and even forgot to eat.
Not sure if there was anything to eat in the hotel at this moment, Sylutia stood up, picked up the candle, and walked down the stairs step by step to the lobby on the first floor.
At this time, the hall was still lit with lights, and a few people were sitting at the table talking. Sylutia came to the front desk to ask.
In the dim halo of the light, the girl's side face was reflected, her soft face was divided by light and shadow, and her clear eyes were like flawless gems shining at night.
This inadvertently revealed beauty stunned the clerk for several seconds before he came back to his senses.
"Is that what you want to eat? There is some bread and honey here, but it's a bit cold." He opened the cabinet next to the front desk and took out the remaining food.
"Thank you." The girl expressed her gratitude, then took out a few silver coins and put them on the table.
After taking away the food, she came to an unoccupied table and sat down, tore off the bread and ate it in small bites.
The hall was a little quiet, with scattered voices coming from far away.
"I have saved a lot of money, and I will contact Sand Lizard School in the past few days. They will accept me as a member and teach Power of the Sand Lizard's advanced secret skills."
"Are you crazy? The advanced method of that school has been banned for a long time due to the Alliance's taboos." My friend at the same table dissuaded me.
"Of course I know this is a taboo, but do you understand how I feel? I am almost fifty years old and I am still at the second level. Do I really have to wait until I die of old age?"
"I have never made a lot of money, I have never enjoyed myself, and no one really loves me. What can I do? I am not willing to give in. Should I just spend the remaining decades in such a humble way?"
"No, the second level is already pretty good. You can teach as a teacher in some small towns, get a wife and have children, and live a pretty decent life."
"No, no, no, you still don't understand." The other person shook his head, poured himself some wine, and drank it down in one gulp.
"My former classmate is now a formal member of the school. I have visited him and seen his kind of life."
"He can sit in a beautiful and clean room and study what he likes. Someone is willing to ask him to complete his work. He has equally bright classmates and teachers, and a bright future for his continued advancement. He can sit on the high stand and watch Silver Bell Festival's beautiful celebration performance, but I can always stand outside the door and listen to the lively sounds inside."
"I really want to be like him and experience that kind of life."
"But, I can't become him. I can never become him. This feeling is too uncomfortable and frustrating. I can't bear it. I want to advance. I must. I really want to know that feeling of having power. I don't want to be ignored or looked down upon anymore."
"I have seen too many prosperous worlds and beautiful things. You asked me to go back to the small town where I was a teacher. I couldn't bear that kind of life. In that environment there were only farmers and foul-mouthed vendors. No one could talk. They didn't understand the past history and didn't know what was happening in the world. They were like uncivilized beasts."
"That kind of environment is like going to jail every day. I can't stand it." He shook his head again and stared blankly at the weak candle on the table.
"Oh, I'm just like this candle, I don't have much time left to Burn."
"No taboos matter anymore, I want it all----"
Sylutia Slowly finished the bread and cleared the table. She raised her head and glanced at the two people sitting in the distance. One of them was more decadent, with an untrimmed beard on his face and a somewhat bloated figure, while the man opposite him was relatively young.
Advancement----not everyone can do it, she sighed silently in her heart.
Suddenly, she remembered Asura District, where the older students, most of whom were over twenty-six years old, rarely had smiles on their faces. They always walked silently past the young students, silently reading books and studying hard, and only rarely asked the teacher questions.
I heard from the teacher that these are pretty good and can continue to stay at Asura District, while other students who cannot maintain their expenses can only quit Asura District and find another way to make a living.
Even if they fail to become official Mage, those Mage apprentices still have a future. They can work as assistants in some workshops, serve as staff and teachers for small nobles, or they can also go to some peripheral institutions of the Mage school to do some auxiliary work.
Compared with ordinary people, their lives are actually not that bad, and they will never fall to the bottom of society or have no food to eat.
Unfortunately, even this result is still difficult to accept for many people.
Because they had great expectations, and they looked forward to embarking on the path of pursuing truth and strength just like their classmates and friends around them.
The beautiful expectations in my youth eventually turned into Nightmare in my old age. Every time I dream of myself back then, I feel an unspeakable sadness.
He failed to become the person he originally expected, and he also lost the infinite possibilities he once had.
So, do you want to advise yourself to surrender to reality and forget about the high-spirited young man in the past?
In other words, even if I know I will fall to pieces in front of me, I will still give it a try.
Some people chose the latter.
When life first looked up and saw Stars, it could never forget that beauty.
We will eventually reach the stars.
