For instance, with the surge of mages being born, would there also be an increase in the number of Evil Mages?
Reiner did not ponder such thoughts; his mind was filled with memories of his family, who had unconditionally loved him but were no longer present.
Sighing, Reiner pulled himself away from his recollections and sincerely faced Xu Lie. He placed his hands on Xu Lie's shoulders and then lowered them to the sides.
It seemed to be a grand gesture among mages. When he first met Reiner, he had performed a similar rite, placing his left hand on a shoulder and then letting it fall again. Now, it was merely both hands resting on shoulders, perhaps indicating that the formality had doubled?
Xu Lie pondered these rituals he found difficult to perform.
Reiner, however, was deeply impressed: "Mr. Xu Lie, you are truly a saint who cares for the whole world. The light and hope you bring to this world are unprecedented. Only someone like you, who has created such remarkable truths, could enter the Gate of Truth."
"I am willing to follow you and spread the Meditation Method for the benefit of all."
Xu Lie maintained a gentle smile and nodded slightly in agreement.
After so long of persuasion, they finally had someone on board.
Anthony and Charles stepped forward, supporting Reiner on his left side in unison: "Welcome to our group!"
Charles, no longer playing the role of a villain, spoke normally: "Both Anthony and I were also moved by you, Mr. Xu Lie, which is why we chose to serve alongside you."
"You wish to spread the Meditation Method and need to establish a large school."
Anthony chimed in from the other side: "That's why we thought of using the All-Continent Mage Exchange Conference as a venue. If we can set up a school here, it will surely attract attention among all mages and draw more students."
Indeed, this time Xu Lie was unusually serious about establishing an institution in the world of Ben Huo instead of engaging in conflict or conquest.
Fighting and conquering were too complicated and time-consuming. It required battling not only against others but also against nature itself, along with managing various governance issues and devising numerous ruling strategies. Just thinking about it was exhausting.
For someone like Xu Lie, who enjoyed delving into research as mages did, why bother conquering the world? Establishing a school and gathering a group of mages would be far more effective. By reasoning with them and enticing them with benefits—distributing various Magic Books freely from the Shendai world—they could produce many logistical products that Xu Lie needed without any cost.
Just look at Reiner; the mere possession of a Thunder Magic Book made him treat it like a treasure, instantly turning him into a fervent believer in the Gate of Truth.
For other wizards, wouldn't such precious knowledge as the Magic Book Scroll entice them as well? In the end, they would undoubtedly comply and submit to Xu Lie. Once these individuals are occupied, the students will have graduated, and a new batch of wizards will take their place.
This creates a positive cycle, developing healthily without needing to spiral or rise in a linear fashion—how wonderful is that? Xu Lie had complete confidence in Anthony and Charles's abilities, especially in how they could win over Reiner. He confidently lifted his tea, ready to take a sip.
He was about to savor the flavor of the Starry Tea Tree when he recalled the script he had seen earlier and had prepared cold water in advance. Just then, Reiner chimed in with a question: "School? What is a school?"
Xu Lie nearly choked on his tea, almost spitting it out. He had almost forgotten that in this world of Ben Huo, the concept of school was still quite ancient—where a wizard master would take on one or two apprentices as part of their legacy. The idea of a school simply did not exist.
Fortunately, there was no need for Xu Lie to step in again; Anthony and Charles worked together seamlessly to explain to Reiner what a school was.
