The wind is cool but cool, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, this is the golden moon scene of Alinge.
"So, I like Alinge's October the most," member of the committee, Tang Pu, holding his black teacup, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside.
He sighed, turned around, pushed the gold-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said to his student Condon: "You only knocked on the door and came in on your own, you are in a hurry" Tang Pu was easy-going, pleasant to friends, students, and subordinates, and did not pay much attention to etiquette, so he did not blame Condon too much for his rash intrusion.
As he spoke, he closed the task report on his desk, which was the rule of the committee, and people who should not see it, even his own students, could not see it.
This mission report is the one submitted by Katrina, because the "cause and effect" of the "demon worship incident" have been clearly investigated by her, so this report has not been taken seriously in the mission area, and the high-level magician on duty at the time casually flipped through it, and thought that the matter was conclusive, and judged that Katrina's mission was completed, and the report was naturally classified in the archives.
However, Tang Pu himself attaches great importance to this "demon worship incident", because it has a certain degree of similarity with a series of events such as summoning ancient devils and believing in devil dukes that have occurred in recent years in Rentat, Kuks, the four countries of the Strait and the coastal corridor of the Northland, but it is fundamentally different.
So, after he was busy with the business at hand, he called up this report, ready to conduct a detailed analysis and comparison, to see if there was really a Demon King who also began to develop the power of faith.
Or maybe it had some other purpose, but most importantly, he wanted to find out if the event was stand-alone or complementary to a series of events that took place within the jurisdiction of the Council of Magic.
So as to find the "dead bird" behind the scenes, other book friends are reading:.
It's a pity that from this report, only the fact that a great knight has increased his strength by worshipping demons.
"However, some of the details in this are too coincidental, but the person concerned is completely dead, and after such a long time, there is basically no such possibility if I want to continue the investigation, can I still go to the abyss and ask the Dark Lord, whether Viscount Andre worships you or catch Death Storm Niner, and let him truthfully confess what he likes to accept Viscount Andre as a student" Tang Pu's right hand covered the report, and his index finger tapped lightly.
Condon across from him was a tall, young man with a slender appearance.
Sunken cheeks.
The skin was "burned" into a dark red as if it had been exposed to too much sunlight.
He wore a monocle in his right eye, and said in a voice as quickly as rain hitting leaves, "I'm sorry, teacher."
When I knocked, the door opened a crack on its own, and I thought you let me in."
Tang Pu is very familiar with the impatient but honest character of the student, and said suspiciously: "The door opened by itself, I didn't close it" "I don't know, uh, I ran into Afrith in the hallway, and he looked very satisfied," Condon suddenly remembered something.
Tang Pu gritted his teeth in distress: "No matter what it is, what's the matter?"
He made a bet with Afrith some time ago, believing that he was already close to the Nine Rings and was unlikely to be deceived by Averies' illusions.
Especially in the Alinge Magic Tower, if Afrith could take anything from his office without the help of others, he would have to open the treasure trove and let it pick a lot of gems, and now it seems that this is the only way to let his guard down.
"Teacher, Lord Evans submitted a paper called Determinism, Self-Awareness, and the Roots of Magic, which constructs a model of the nature of magic, although there are still many questions that remain unsolved, such as why the magic pattern can help communicate the real world, and what exactly is the hidden principle of its function, but it also opens a new door for us to study the nature of magic and supernatural powers, and it immediately caused a sensation after someone stumbled upon this paper in the Arcane Library today" Condon seemed a little excited, coupled with his impatient personality, a series of words were like a storm blowing, and Tang Pu could hardly react when he heard it: "Stop, stop, give me the paper first" For a high-level arcanist, it is much easier to read a paper than to listen to such an exciting description.
Taking the paper that Condon had borrowed, Tang Pu glanced at the date, and said in surprise and relief: "No wonder the one submitted three days ago is not listed in arcane or magic."
Generally speaking, as long as the Great Arcanist's paper has a certain value, the journal will not refuse, and will rush to ask for it, but Lucien basically only publishes on the Arcane Nature and Elements, and occasionally writes an appointment for the ordinary Arcanist's monthly magazine, so such an important paper, the Arcane will definitely not let it go, and because it is about the nature of magic, the magic journal will obviously not let others publish it.
He continued to flip through it, frowning slightly at the front part, the determinism looked like it was stormy However, with Lucian's discussion, his brows were completely relaxed, and he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses from time to time, and said in a low voice: "The observer effect is not completely ridiculous, the material foundation is not solid, this statement is very novel, but if this is the case, why is everything so normal in the absence of magic and extraordinary powers, is it still to blame the mysterious stage of transition from the micro level to the macro level, Lucien also thinks about this aspect of weak observers and strong observers" He was completely immersed in the paper, and even though the paper was not confirmed by any experiments or phenomena, and the "observer effect" was rejected by the parliamentary mainstream, it was logically self-consistent and seemed to be the real thing.
Not surprised by the teacher's reaction, Condon picked up the quill on the table and recorded some of the teacher's questions and opinions on scratch paper.
"The energy to replenish spiritual power comes from the real world, and the excess material supplement comes from the real world, huh" Tang Pu seemed to remember something in his doubts, quickly turned around, and pulled out the elements of this issue from the bookshelf, and then he held the golden silk eye, and said in a rather shocking tone, "Isn't this the problem that the vacuum sea of negative energy can solve?"
"Yes, the arcanists who saw this paper at that time couldn't help but think of the vacuum sea of negative energy, which just solved the most fundamental problems in Lord Evans's paper on the nature of magic, and other book friends were reading:" Condon's ears were very pointed, and he heard the teacher's self-talk, and said excitedly, "They are one after the other, one is dedicated to the source of magical energy, and the other gives conjectures about the nature of magic, which together constitute a complete magic system" The magic system he said was not the same thing as the spell system.
"I'm afraid this is the first formal model of the essence of magic with theoretical support since the beginning of magic, no, it should be a model of all extraordinary powers."
Tang Pu was also tainted with a hint of excitement.
In the history of magic, the earliest magicians have already raised questions about what the essence of magic is, and put forward their own ideas, such as the four element systems of earth, fire, feng and shui, ancient magicians have constructed a conjecture about the bottom of the world, believing that there is an energy plane composed purely of the same element, and named it the fire element country, the water element ocean, etc., such as the root system They believe that there is a root of magic, which is a real part of the world These magical landscapes are still influencing generations of magicians today, as evidenced by terms such as the fire element, but the ancient magicians did not explore the world enough, and the magical landscapes were all imaginary, without any theoretical basis, and belonged to the fantasy level, not the model in the arcane definition.
In the heyday of the ancient magic empire, magicians paid more attention to normal research and application, and no one thought about the ethereal nature of magic, anyway, they just knew that spiritual power was a condition for performing magic, so even if he was as great as the Sun King Tanos, he did not propose a model of the essence of magic.
Since the establishment of the Magic Council, the nature of magic has been studied, but due to the lack of other theories, the progress of this research has been very slow, so the rigorous Douglas and others did not rashly put forward their own model of the nature of magic, lest the fantastical ideas affect other arcanists.
It is only today that Tang Pu really sees a model that describes magic in its essence and roots, and it is based on the cutting-edge results of the current microscopic field Regardless of whether this model is correct or not, it has enough historical significance Tang Pu suddenly felt a little trance, and he once again witnessed history, which seems to have happened often in the last ten years.
Condon exclaimed, "That's why some people have called the results described in these two papers the Evan Straaviv model, the first model of the essence of magic."
After the two discussed for a while, Condon offered his farewell, saying that he would go back and study it carefully.
Watching him fold the scratch paper and carefully put it into the storage bag, Tang Recipe was a little amused, and then watched him walk to the door.
Suddenly, Tang Pu came to his senses and said loudly: "Stop" But by this time, Condon had already stepped into the hallway He turned around sharply, and a layer of white mist rose around him, and when the white mist subsided, it turned into a small crystal dragon with beautiful scales.
It dragged out a big ice cream from under its belly, stretched out its tongue, licked and ate it with great satisfaction, and said in a childish and proud voice: "Tang Pu, you lost" While he was thinking about the problem, he used the discovery that the door was not closed and "Averies" passed by to distract himself, and he indulged himself with papers, and his personality was exactly the same as Condon's, but he took away the scratch paper that recorded the content of the discussion and recalled this, and Tang Pu had to admit that Afrith had made a new breakthrough in his understanding of illusion, but it was he who suffered After watching Afrith leave with an ugly face, Tang Pu couldn't help but continue to study the content of Lucian's paper: "Weak observer strong observer" He was suddenly stunned, thinking of the recent investigation, and said faintly with fear: "The accumulation of faith power is a special electromagnetic wave convergence on the surface, but it is actually a convergence of weak observers, evolving into strong observers."
"This" What do those strong who are good at "playing" with the power of faith think of this paper:
