Chapter 1133: Chapter 184 Isaac’s Analysis

In this world, the power of many rituals originates from "historical reenactment."

Sacred numbers and symbols are things that can be more convenient, more accurate, and more general in reenactment. By summarizing and reproducing the "mysteries," the great might of the mystical mistress can be invoked, retrieving a fragment of that might against the flow of time.

Significant historical events that changed the destinies of countless people, like the "Wizard War," are bound to contain a powerful force that can be extracted.

But why has no Ritualist been able to establish this new ritual to date?

One part of the reason is that a failed ritual could lead to an explosion, which makes creating new rituals relatively dangerous...

But an even more important and widely known reason is that part of the history belonging to the "Wizard War" is missing... or rather, people’s understanding of the Wizard War is incomplete.

Ever since the age of the Elves ended and the Great Barrier collapsed, among all the historical records of the human era, those about the "Wizard War" have the lowest preservation rate and are the least.

The current mainstream, public opinion only regards it as an "internal struggle among the eight major magical schools."

Only those who delve deeper would know that before the Wizard War, wizards weren’t divided into eight major schools... and not all spellcasters were called wizards. It was only toward the end of the Wizard War that all surviving spellcasters united, merging all spell traditions to establish the eight major schools—this also symbolized the victory of the tower wizards.

According to Isaac, the essence of the Wizard War was a "Fool’s War"... all those who participated were fools.

There was a profound and irreconcilable contradiction between the high tower wizards and the folk spellcasters. With a sudden misunderstanding and a spark that ignited, an unrelenting war of jurisdiction erupted.

Due to the involvement of the White Jade Tower, they became even more insane.

Normally, when the Healing Profession joins the Battlefield, it would reduce the mortality rate on both sides and ensure lower post-war loss rates—after all, war is just a means, not an end, and to die in war is merely the price paid for the means.

But at that time, the spellcasters were all too zealous. They regarded this "price paid within the means" as their goal.

"If I’m not mistaken, this has something to do with The Worm, doesn’t it?"

The one who asked was Isaac, who had been almost completely silent since entering the Lava Forbidden Tower.

Seeing the discussion reaching this topic, Isaac finally couldn’t help but join in.

Because he was the holder of the "Influence of The Worm theory"—he could even be considered as one of the persons involved.

But many things, even the conclusions of the persons involved, may not be correct and comprehensive.

After all, the onlooker may see more of the game...

However, this time, Isaac’s opinion was quite consistent with that of "Julius": "According to historical records, the current Ritualists also have speculations about the Wizard War—the outbreak of the war indeed has something to do with The Worm.

"But it’s probably not The Worm itself, rather the Worm Cultists. Due to the indeed irreconcilable contradictions between the tower wizards and other spellcasters... even if this event did not trigger, a conflict would have erupted sooner or later.

"At that time, our analysis was this—there would definitely be a fight between these two groups of spellcasters, but the first time wouldn’t be conclusive. The folk spellcasters had not formed a united front and lacked a manifesto that could be universally recognized and used to gather allies.

"This would lead to the folk spellcasters’ counterattacks inevitably being suppressed by the united front of the high tower wizards. Those who reacted slightly slower might just start preparing after the first war had ended.

"They are naturally scattered... because these dispersed folk spellcasters were not aiming to oppose a certain group of spellcasters, but were competing for authority.

"That is to say, even if all the tower wizards were driven out of the Wizard’s Tower and replaced entirely by themselves as Tower Masters, they would still not be satisfied—because their real goal isn’t ’to drive away these Tower Masters’, but ’to become Tower Masters themselves’.

"Therefore, this faction is naturally difficult to unite. Our speculation at that time was that the conflict might have to continue to accumulate, becoming dire enough that folk spellcasters find it difficult to survive... but instead, they developed quite well and would not be wiped out because of it. At that time, they would erupt into a more intense conflict.

"After the first shockwave and the test of time, the folk spellcasters still remaining would be the truly powerful ones. And there are only so many talented individuals... the Wizard’s Tower would definitely give way, accepting some into the Wizard’s Tower, and even allowing them to become Tower Masters if necessary.

"They would absorb some talents in this way. Through those accepted, they gradually dissolve and transform their old homes—even gradually assimilate the entire force through the part that has ’turned regular’.

"Because in the end, what the Wizard’s Towers must maintain is ’the rules’. That is the highest mission that must be maintained by every Wizard’s Tower to this day. It doesn’t matter who becomes the Tower Master... as long as they can inherit this mission.

"Therefore, we believed at the time... this war wouldn’t erupt."

That was Isaac’s conclusion.

"Julius" came with a curious voice from the void: "At that time?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Julius."

Isaac answered calmly: "I am Isaac. Isaac Flamel—the former Tower Master of the Jade Tower."

"Jade Record, Your Excellency!"

After conducting a search, "Julius" immediately confirmed Isaac’s identity: "I never expected You would still be alive... no, You must have been resurrected by the Heavenly Chariot in some way."

"More or less."

"So You could be considered a witness to the Wizard War. Even You do not know why the war started back then?"

"Actually, we don’t know either. And I was not a witness... my teacher’s generation were the witnesses."

Upon hearing this, Isaac shook his head: "Because the situation at that time was very abnormal—during the first clash, the folk spellcasters united.

"That’s not reasonable. Because in essence, they are competitors, and their conflict with each other is even greater than among the high tower wizards... because high tower wizards allow their existence, but once these allies ascend to power, they would inevitably expel them.

"In fact, at the beginning, many who sensed something was wrong were assassinated for speaking out. Thus, many wise people closed their mouths and chose to leave the contentious region.

"My speculation is that they tried to initiate a certain ritual using the Wizard War... if we reason backwards from the effect, this ritual may be related to the current liberation of The Worm."

"So, should I also add elements of The Worm to the game I’m creating?"

After pondering for a long time, Husky asked.
