500 Which is More Important, Depth or Breadth? (1/2)

The vast majority of Mages majored in attack-type spells, and even if they had a minor in protection-type, it was to protect themselves on the battlefield or in battles with others.

Menon, on the other hand, preferred to pursue the essence of magic, and he was not interested in magic with lethality, instead preferring to create strange magical items. For example, magic fountains and magic rainbows.

This kind of magic that could bring happiness to people was what he was after.

And such behavior, in the eyes of his teachers and friends, was simply deviant. A Mage wasnt a Mage if they didnt pursue high lethality and great strength.

Menon remained true to his path, and because of it, he drifted away from his friends.

While he studied how to gather magic, his friends were learning how to make their spells more lethal.

While he researched how to manifest magic to ordinary people and not hurt them, his friends were already building up their careers.

If Menon hadnt been from a good family and pulled some strings, he wouldnt have had the right to stand in the Association of Mages.

The Association of Mages, the elite gathering place for all of Fareins, was home to a large number of Mages.

But Menon had not found anyone who thought the same way as he did.

In the Association of Mages, all of his peers except him were seeking greater power.

This left Menon feeling particularly disappointed and lonely.

Especially when his former friends also started to oppose him, he felt that no one in the world could understand him.

Whats wrong with bringing joy to people? Whats so great about fighting and killing.

It was at this time that two new spells appeared in the Church of Magic. The oil-making and water-making spells.

Both of these spells were created by a man named Roland.

Though it seemed from these two spells that the creators intent was still to strengthen Mages

The oil-making spell made it easier for Mages to make money, and the water-making spell was also made for Mages, as it could be seen from the amount of water that could only quench thirst. Allowing Mages to make more money earlier on gave Mages more flexibility to survive in the wild.

nore 110.

This Mage called Roland was essentially still creating spells for Mages, not for all the masses, all intelligent beings.

Understanding this, Menons excitement diminished a little.

This man named Roland was still seeking greater power just like any other Mage, but he was just pursuing it more comprehensively.

However, Menon paid more attention to this man named Roland and his invention of the oil-making and water-making spells. Then, after a few months, Menon gradually lost the name Roland in the depths of his memory.

Why are you interested in this magic fountain? Menon asked curiously. After I made this thing, most people said that I put my energy into crooked things. Roland pointed at the structure of the magic fountains shell. This thing is a magic formation that can manifest the flow of magic power, making it visible to ordinary people. But I dont understand how you made the magic flow like water. It is reasonable to say that the magical elements cant produce this siphoning principle of drooping water columns, because they arent transformed into magic water streams. Menons eyes lit up. You can understand! Youre also pursuing the essence of magic?

Roland nodded. You could say that.

Come, come, Ill show you the results of my latest research. Menon grabbed Roland and headed toward his room.

His room wasnt far from here. Once inside, Roland saw that there were drawings all over the place.

e were

As everyone knew, a piece of white paper was very expensive, and the fact that Menons room had so many drawings was enough to show that he was extremely rich.

Look, this is what Ive researched about the conditions and methods of magic elements resonance.

Its how the magic element changes its properties for a short time and then produces a seven-colored rainbow-like effect.

And this, my masterpiece, the control of the flow of pure magic elementsthe magic fountain is an extension of this concept.

Roland grabbed the three drawings in his hands and slowly looked at them.

Menon was in no hurry. He was sitting in a chair at the side, looking at Roland rather expectantly.

This was Menon showing off and it was also his test.

If Roland could understand these things, then Menon would think that he was a kindred spirit.

This was why Menon wasnt in a hurry. He crossed his legs and waited patiently.

All three things were his masterpieces, and even if Legends came, theyd probably be able to look at each one for half an hour before they could understand it.

Roland was not yet atMaster, so no matter how smart he was, it was estimated that it would take five or six hours before he could fully understand it.

However half an hour later, Roland finished flipping through the three drawings and then contemplated them.

He finished reading so quickly?

Menon was somewhat in disbelief!

Might he be pretending? Roland then snapped his fingers and the magic around him began to manifest, then formed a small, curved, intertwined string of flowing water.
