Hank and the others weren't the only ones who were shocked. Even Archmage Nicholas and Archmage Cris were dumbfounded.
They had a deeper understanding of magic than Hank and the other apprentices, so with just one glance, they saw through the central meaning of Jenn's actions. That was to popularize magic.
This didn't just refer to the use of magic in every aspect, but also allowing ordinary people to use magic!
This could be said to be a complete and subversive structure for the Magic Empire!
"How can he do this!
This is simply a blasphemy against magic! "
Archmage Cris was furious as he strode around the room. He couldn't tolerate everything he saw.
The philosophy of the Magic Empire was that anything related to magic must be in the hands of Mages.
Because only Mages could deeply understand how terrifying these magic items were. In their opinion, letting ordinary people use magic items was simply a dangerous and reckless thing to do.
But here, on this warship, they didn't even see a single Mage. Not to mention a Legendary Mage, there wasn't even a middle-rank Mage!
And the ones in charge of operating this warship were actually just some young girls who knew little about magic!
This is simply nonsense!
At this moment, Chris's mood was as if he saw a group of naughty children tormenting a space shuttle. It was simply indescribable anger.
Compared to Chris, Archmage Nicholas wasn't so angry because he had been to Passus several times, so he naturally expected this.
In fact, in Passus, Zayen had already begun to show signs of this. Whether it was the construction of the new city, the underground shelter, or the train that circled the city, these were all magic tools that were manufactured with the use of ordinary people as the basis.
In fact, not only was Nicholas not as angry as Chris, but he was also quite fascinated by it.
All along, magic devices had been regarded as an existence created to assist Mages, but Jenn obviously didn't build these magic devices from this point of view.
On the contrary, his attitude was purely practical — a magic device built to facilitate people's travel, transportation, and work.
"Alright, Chris, don't be so agitated … Actually, most of these magic devices aren't that dangerous …"
Great Wizard Nicholas could not help but say with a bitter smile when he saw Chris' ashen face, as though he was about to faint.
In fact, as Nicholas said, the reason why the magic devices of the Magic Empire were so harmful was that they were used to assist mages. Some of them were used to enhance the strength of spells, and some were used to seal. Such things were definitely not something that ordinary people could touch.
However, the magic devices that Jenn created all had a single function.
For example, trains and subways were specially used for transportation, while the crystal lamps used for illumination were purely used for illumination. There were no messy enchantments or spells mixed in them.
The spell used for projection was used for surveillance — to put it bluntly, everything that Zayen created was very "specialized".
They weren't like the magic devices of Mages, who couldn't wait to have a 10 + 1 gift pack or a 365-in-1 super game version.
They did what they were supposed to do.
Having seen too many of the complicated tricks that the mages came up with, everything that was designed under Zayen's philosophy gave Great Wizard Nicholas a very clean and nimble sense of beauty.
Therefore, not only was he not as angry as Archmage Cris, but he was also quite fascinated by it. Of course, looking at his colleague's flustered and exasperated look, he couldn't say much, lest he agitated him.
"So what?!"
As expected, after hearing Nicholas's words, Archmage Cris became even more furious.
"Magic devices are devices that only Mages can use, not for ordinary people to put on a show!
Not to mention, they are actually so wasteful to cater to ordinary people!
This is a crime!!
Doesn't he know that the effect of training an intermediate Mage is far more than what he is wasting?!! "
Hearing Archmage Cris's angry complaints, Archmage Nicholas also shook his head.
What Chris said was what most of the people in the Magic Empire thought.
Indeed, although Jenn's method was simple and convenient, in the eyes of the Mages, it was too wasteful.
For example, in this communication system that covered the interior of the battleship, Jenn set up the 'Amplification Spell' and the 'Projection Spell' separately.
Not to mention, in the hearts of the Archmages of the Magic Empire, magic was a noble art and knowledge, which was not something that ordinary people could accept.
Not to mention, in the hearts of the Archmages of the Magic Empire, magic was a noble art and knowledge, which was not something that ordinary people could accept.
Everything that Jenn did, in their eyes, was simply like moving a noble and elegant symphony to a noisy market to perform 'Yangge' … This was simply a blasphemy to the whole magic civilization!!!
But unfortunately, no matter how much Archmage Cris complained, it was useless. Because the Fate Agreement had been signed, and they went to Passus as observers. They could only observe, but not intervene.
Therefore, no matter how angry Archmage Cris was, he could not have the slightest influence on Jenn and these apprentices.
Not only that …
"Besides, everything he has done is simply despising the authority of the Magic Empire!!"
Having said that, Archmage Cris slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacups on the table to jump.
If Jenn's attitude and philosophy towards magic had only infuriated Archmage Cris, what he did next almost made Archmage Cris furious.
During the selection of apprentices, Jenn had accepted dozens of Mages as agreed.
Most of them were Intermediate Mages, and some were Advanced Mages.
Some of them were interested in Jenn's philosophy, some simply couldn't survive in the Magic Empire, and some wanted to take the opportunity to go further and obtain power and status that they could not obtain in the Magic Empire.
But what these Mages didn't expect was that after gathering them, the first thing Jenn said was that he wanted them to completely copy all their magic knowledge and compile it into a book for others to learn!
As soon as he said that, many of the mages burst into an uproar. Their knowledge was inherited from their predecessors, and many of them were secrets that were not passed on to others. Now, Zayen actually asked them to contribute all the knowledge they had?
To the Mages, this was more unacceptable than asking for their lives!!
However, Jenn didn't take the protests of these Mages to heart. Instead, he just gathered these Mages and announced one more thing — the magic that they contributed would be compiled into a book in the future and distributed to other students according to the difficulty and level of learning … Apart from that, the names of the contributors would be added at the back of the knowledge.
As soon as this was said, almost all the Mages went crazy.
Mages were also humans, and humans pursued nothing more than strength, power, status, reputation, beauties, wealth … Of course, Mages were no exception.
Especially these Mages recruited by Jenn, most of them weren't very powerful, so to them, reputation and wealth were almost all they pursued!
And now, Jenn actually said that the magic knowledge that they contributed would be added to their names!
To these Mages, this was like a starving wolf seeing a plump and fresh lamb; their saliva almost flowed out!!
If it was really according to this Sir Overlord's words, then in the future, Fireball would no longer be called Fireball, but "Hans' Fireball". Freezing Ray would no longer be called Freezing Ray, but "Elva's Icy Beam". Even Light Spell would no longer be called Light Spell, but "Darke Vinson's Shining Light"!
When he thought of the mage apprentices in a few years, a few decades, or even a few hundred years later, they would have to learn these spells named after them, and they would also be recorded in history along with these spells … Great Mage Morgan who invented the "Morgan's Dark Tentacles" … Aiyo, this was simply a temptation that could take one's life!
Before this, only the especially powerful Mages had the right to name their spells. Of course, even so, the names of these spells were not so casual. First, the spell had to be very rare, and no one else had it.
Secondly, the spell had to be something that "filled in many blanks at home and abroad", and only then would it have the right to name the spell.
This was like the discovery of a new asteroid through astronomical observation, and the discoverer had the right to name the asteroid. At that time, whether the asteroid would be called "Eggplant" or "Cucumber" would depend on what the discoverer was doing at that time …
Of course, these Mages didn't have the ability to do so, and all they had were some small tricks.
For example, shortening the chanting time of the "Light Spell", or reducing the consumption of magic power, or using some kind of trick to silently cast the spell … Small tricks like these were not to the Great Mage's liking, and they couldn't come up with anything better.
If it was in the past, this would basically be considered as chicken ribs.
But after Jenn proposed this new condition, these Mages immediately became enthusiastic. Of course, at the beginning, they didn't have no problems. After all, most of the spells that these people mastered were very common. If you knew Fireball, I knew Fireball, and if worse came to worst, it would be Chain Fireball. Wasn't that still Fireball?
You consumed less magic power, but I chanted faster, so my Fireball was definitely better than yours!
Everyone hoped to leave their names in history, so at the beginning, there was a lot of noise.
But Jenn quickly came up with a solution — those who contributed the same spell could work together to research it, and then come up with results.
As for the name of the spell, they could come up with it together. Of course, the names of these Mages who participated in the research would also be recorded in history — this would also become a special "History of Magic" for others to learn.
Not only apprentices, but even ordinary people would have to learn this class to understand the great contributions these Mages had made to their lives!
Under such temptation, the Mages who were stubborn in the beginning immediately switched sides and began to participate in this work enthusiastically.
But to Archmage Cris, the worldly and greedy expressions of these Mages were simply disgusting!
The mysteries of magic were to be pursued, not bought and sold like commodities!
That damned Overlord, what does he treat magic as!
During this period, Archmage Cris wanted to argue with Jenn more than once, but was stopped by Archmage Nicholas. After all, they were only observers, and no matter what they said, it was useless. Therefore, the only thing Archmage Cris could do was to complain.
"Alright, Archmage Cris, don't be so agitated.
Weren't they about to arrive at the 'campus city' that they were talking about?
I think there must be a lot of interesting things waiting for us there. "
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing Archmage Nicholas's consolation, Archmage Cris let out a snort.
"This is blasphemy against magic!
No matter what, I will not accept this method! "
