The contents of Chapter 44's diary, including the exposed storage bag.
The first section describes the period when Wizard Lescent studied at the Tree Ring School.
During this period, he wrote his diary very carefully and meticulously, clearly recording all the things he encountered, his psychological changes in various events, and his thoughts before making various decisions.
During this period, what he wrote was both a diary and a reflection.
The second stage is the period after he killed his classmates and teachers, escaped the Tree Ring School, and became a dark wizard.
During this period, his diary entries visibly became increasingly perfunctory.
There is also less and less content involving personal thoughts and gains and losses.
In the end, all that's left is a chronological account—on a certain day, month, and year, who was killed, who was with whom, and what was stolen...
On the wall-to-wall bookshelf, his diary entries from the year he studied at the Tree Ring School take up a full third of the space.
In the more than two decades following his betrayal, the diaries he kept only accounted for two-thirds of what remains.
As Loon put down the Wizard's Diary, a feeling of hunger washed over him.
The Crimson Wizard, who was also hungry, took out two pieces of jerky from his pack and handed them to Loon.
"Anchor?" He chewed on a piece of dried shark meat while recalling the contents of Wizard Lescent's diary.
Without a doubt, the most important entry in that diary is the first one.
Loon was no ignorant man—although there was no explicit explanation, just by looking at the word 'anchor,' Loon had already guessed the role of the wizard's diary for wizards.
After all, in my previous life, there were far too many fantasies involving cultivation and the extraordinary.
If we say that in this wizarding world, countless wizards are putting every possibility into practice.
In a world without extraordinary abilities, ordinary people without supernatural powers used their imaginations to the fullest extent to fantasize about every possibility.
In most works from the previous life, beings who pursue the extraordinary encounter a problem.
That is a problem that arises after a long life has gone through a long period of time.
who am I?
Who am I?
This is the problem of the Ship of Theseus.
Of course, some say this problem is a "mental demon".
Just like the wizard Recent—the Recent who became a dark wizard, and the Recent who was the farmer's son at the beginning, are they the same person?
If one day, when the wizard Recent looks back on his past, will he think that he is the same person he is now and who he was in the past?
Clearly, the wizards of this world are also pondering the question of the Ship of Theseus!
And this wizard's diary is their answer.
Use a diary to record your past self, your experiences, and your changes.
When you find yourself unable to distinguish yourself from others, open your diary and take a look.
Look back at how you were in the past.
Look at myself now.
Let's look at how our past selves became who we are today.
At the same time, the process of writing a diary is also a process of self-reflection and self-awareness.
"That's a bit cruel!" As he pondered, Luo Ang's heart also trembled.
For the diary to act as an "anchor," allowing the wizard to confirm the reality of "himself," then without a doubt, the content of the diary must also be true and undeniable.
No matter how honest a wizard is when facing the world or other wizards, there will always be some mask on their face.
But in this diary, the wizard must show his truest self, and personally peel away his disguise layer by layer.
Just thinking about it makes it clear how steadfast a wizard's will would be, and how clear-headed he would be about himself, if he started writing his diary according to the rules of journaling from the very beginning of his apprenticeship.
However, considering the difficulty of analyzing oneself... Loon felt that the vast majority of wizards' diaries were not their absolute true selves.
The diaries they wrote were all "artistically processed".
Even if they can honestly write about their true selves when they first start writing diaries, as time goes on, the amount of artistic embellishment or perfunctory writing in their diaries will definitely increase.
"It seems I also need to prepare my own wizard's diary." Loen pondered for a moment, and quickly made a decision.
He couldn't guarantee that his diary entries reflected his absolute true self.
This very understanding is enough to prove the role of wizard diaries for wizards.
"As expected of the answer found by wizards."
"I've already gained so much before I've even officially started writing in my diary," Luo Ang thought to himself with emotion.
Beside her, the Scarlet Wizard was already looking at the items on several other bookshelves.
The other bookshelves did not contain the diary of the wizard Lessonte.
Instead, it contains knowledge related to wizards.
There are records of magic spells.
There are also records of magical experiments.
Of course, there are also records of monster modification and bloodline experiments, which are scattered haphazardly on the bookshelf without any order.
The first two may be things that Wizard Recent himself tested.
But in the final experimental records, the Scarlet Wizard even saw records of his own breeding of sharks.
Clearly, these messy experimental records were not the wizard Resent's own records, but rather things he had stolen from other wizards.
"Dark wizards are indeed a bunch of barbarians; they know nothing but violence." The Crimson Wizard carefully flipped through the experimental records, feeling both heartache and joy.
It's heartbreaking that these experimental records were carelessly left here.
To her delight, many of these experimental records were helpful to her—moreover, some of the data in some of the experimental records showed that the wizard who conducted the experiments used some rare and precious experimental equipment; otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to obtain such clear data.
"Thunder Wizard, forget about those useless diaries."
"But we need to take all these experimental records and spell tests back and examine them carefully." The Crimson Wizard looked at Loon with burning eyes.
"Lord Thunder Wizard, there are pirates guarding the outside. If we were to follow the example of Wizard Lescent and bring these parchment scrolls back piece by piece, it would be far too undignified."
As the Scarlet Wizard spoke, a slightly embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on her face.
"Could I borrow your storage bag?"
These words were like a thunderclap in Luo Ang's ears, causing him to involuntarily widen his eyes.
