The wind is cool but refreshing, the sky is high and the clouds are broad, this is the golden moonscape of Alinge!
"So, October is my favorite month in Arlinge..." Tang Pu, a member of the Affairs Committee, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding his own black tea cup, looking at the scenery outside.
While sighing, he turned around, pushed up the gold-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said to his student Condon: "I just knocked on the door and came in on my own. Are you in a hurry?"
Tang Pu was an easy-going person, and he was kind to his friends, students and subordinates. He didn't pay much attention to etiquette, so he didn't blame Condon too much for his sudden intrusion.
While speaking, he closed the task report on his desk. This was the rule of the affairs committee. No one who should not see it, even his own students, could not see it.
This mission report was the one submitted by Katrina. Since the "causes and consequences" of the "Devil Worship Incident" were clearly investigated by her, this report was not taken seriously in the mission area. The high-level magicians on duty at the time
After flipping through it casually, the teacher concluded that the matter was indeed correct and concluded that Katrina's mission was completed, and the report was naturally placed in the archives.
But Tangpu himself takes this "devil worship incident" very seriously, because it is related to a series of summons of ancient devils and belief in devil dukes that have occurred in Rentat, Cooks, the Channel Four and the Northland coastal corridor in recent years.
The events are similar to a certain extent, but fundamentally different.
Therefore, after he finished the business at hand, he pulled out this report and prepared to conduct detailed analysis and comparison to see if there was really a demon king who had also begun to develop the power of faith, or had other purposes, and the most important thing was
What's more, he wants to find out whether this incident is independent or whether it is complementary to a series of incidents that occurred within the jurisdiction of the Magic Council, so as to find the "death bird" behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, this report can only reveal the fact that a great knight increased his strength by worshiping the devil.
"However, some details here are too coincidental, but the person involved is completely dead, and such a long time has passed. It is basically impossible to continue the investigation. Can I still go to the abyss to ask?
"Lord of Darkness, is it you that Viscount Andre admires? Or capture Death Storm, Ninel, and ask him to tell the truth about what he sees in Viscount Andre as his student?" Tang Pu's right hand covered the
On the report, his index finger tapped lightly.
Opposite him, Condon is a tall, thin man with a young appearance. His cheeks are sunken, and his skin has been "burned" dark red as if he has been exposed to too much sun. He wears a monocle fashionably on his right eye.
The voice was as urgent as rain hitting leaves: "I'm sorry, teacher, after I knocked, the door opened a gap by itself. I thought you let me in..."
Tang Pu knew the student's impetuous but honest character very well, and asked doubtfully: "The door opened by itself, did I not close it?"
"I don't know, uh, I met Alfred in the corridor, and his expression seemed very satisfied..." Condon suddenly remembered something.
Tang Pu bared his teeth in distress: "...Ignore it, what's the matter?"
He made a bet with Afris some time ago, thinking that he who was close to the ninth ring was unlikely to be deceived by Afris's illusion, especially in the Aline Magic Tower. Therefore, if Afris could not
If you use the help of others to take anything from your office, you will have to open the treasure house and let it pick out many, many gems. Now it seems... But this is good, I can relax my vigilance.
"Teacher, Mr. Evans submitted a paper called "Determinism, Self-awareness and the Origin of Magic" to construct a model of the nature of magic. Although there are still many questions that have not been resolved, such as why magic patterns can help communicate with the real world.
, what is the working principle hidden in it, but it also opens a new door for us to study the nature of magic and supernatural power... Today, after someone accidentally discovered this paper in the Arcane Library, it immediately caused a stir
A sensation..."
Condon seemed a little excited, and coupled with his impetuous character, he said a series of words like a storm, which made Tang Pu almost unable to react: "Stop, stop, give me the paper first!"
For a high-level arcanist, reading a paper is much easier than listening to such an exciting description.
Taking the paper borrowed from Condon, Tang Pu glanced at the date and said with surprise and relief: "Submitted three days ago? No wonder it was not published in "Arcana" or "Magic"..."
Generally speaking, as long as the Grand Arcanist's papers have a certain value, the journals will not reject them and will rush to get them. However, Lucien basically only published them in "Arcane", "Nature" and "Elements".
Occasionally, I am asked to write for the Ordinary Arcanist Monthly, so for such an important paper, Arcane will definitely not let it go. And since it is about the nature of magic, Magic will obviously not let others publish it.
He continued to read and frowned slightly at the previous parts. The determinism seemed to be precarious!
However, as Lucien continued to discuss, his brows widened completely, and he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses from time to time, whispering: "The observer effect is not completely absurd...the insufficiency of material basis."
'Solid,' this statement is very novel, but if this is true, why is everything so normal without the power of demons? Is it still necessary to blame it on the mysterious stage of transition from the micro level to the macro level...
Hey, Lucien has also thought about this aspect...weak observers and strong observers..."
He was completely immersed in this paper. Even though this paper has not been confirmed by any experiments or phenomena, and the "observer effect" has been rejected by the mainstream of parliament, it is logically self-consistent and seems to be really a thing.
Condon was not surprised by the teacher's reaction. He picked up the quill pen on the table and recorded some of the teacher's questions and opinions on the scratch paper.
"…···The energy that replenishes mental power comes from the 'real world',? The extra material in magic comes from the 'real world,'? Huh..." Tang Pu seemed to think of something in his question, and quickly turned around and pulled out this book from the bookshelf.
In the first issue of "Elements", he then held his gold-rimmed eyes and said in a shocking tone, "Isn't this a problem that can be solved by the 'negative energy vacuum sea'?"
"Yes, the arcanists who saw this paper at that time couldn't help but think of the 'negative energy vacuum sea,' which happened to solve the most fundamental problems in Mr. Evans's paper on the nature of magic!" Kang
Deng's ears were very sharp and he heard the teacher's muttering and said excitedly, "They are one after another. One is dedicated to the source of magic energy, and the other gives conjectures about the nature of magic. Together they form a complete magic system.
!”
The magic system and spell system he mentioned are not the same thing.
"This is probably the first formal model of the essence of magic with theoretical support since the advent of magic. No, it should be a model of all extraordinary powers." Tang Pu was also tainted with excitement.
In the history of magic, the earliest magicians had already questioned the nature of magic and put forward their own ideas, such as the four element system of earth, fire, feng shui - the ancient magicians constructed a conjecture about the bottom of the world.
They believe that there is an energy plane purely composed of the same element, and named it the Fire Element Kingdom, the Water Element Ocean, etc., such as the root system - they believe that there is the root of magic, which is a real part of the world...
These magic scenes are still influencing generations of magicians to this day, as evidenced by terms such as fire elements. However, ancient magicians did not explore the world enough. The magic scenes are all based on imagination, without any theoretical basis, and are fantasy.
A plane, not a model in the arcane definition.
In the heyday of the ancient magic empire, magicians paid more attention to normal research and application. No one thought about the illusory nature of magic anymore. Anyway, they just knew that mental power was the condition for performing magic. Therefore, even great ones like Sun King Thanos
, and no model of the essence of magic has been proposed.
Since the establishment of the Magic Council, they have been studying the nature of magic. However, due to the shortcomings of other theories, the progress of this research has been very slow. Therefore, the rigorous Douglass and others did not rush to propose their own model of the nature of magic, lest their fantasy-rich ideas affect other people.
Arcanist.
Only today has Tang Pu truly seen a model that describes magic from its essence and roots, and it is based on the most cutting-edge results in the current microscopic field!
Regardless of whether this model is correct or not, it is of great historical significance... Tang Pu suddenly felt a little dazed, and he witnessed history again, which seems to have happened often in the past ten years.
Condon said excitedly: "So some people have called the results described in these two papers...
'The Evans-Tel Aviv Model, the first model of the nature of magic!'
After the two discussed it for a while, Condon took his leave and said he would go back and study it carefully.
Watching him fold the scrap paper and carefully put it into the storage bag, Tang Pu was a little amused, and then watched him walk to the door.
Suddenly, Tang Pu woke up and shouted: "Stop!"
But at this time, Condon had already entered the corridor!
He turned around suddenly, and a layer of white mist rose around him. After the white mist subsided, it turned into a small crystal dragon with beautiful scales.
It pulled out a big ice cream from under its belly, stretched out its tongue, and licked it with great satisfaction. It said in a childish and proud voice: "Tangpu, you lose!"
Come while you are thinking about the problem, use the discovery that the door is open and "Afris" is passing by to distract yourself, get the paper to indulge yourself, the character performance is exactly the same as Condon, just take away the scratch paper recording the discussion content
····…Recalling this, Tang Pu had to admit that Afris had made a new breakthrough in his understanding of illusion, but he was the one who suffered the loss!
After watching Afris leave with an ugly expression, Tang Pu couldn't help but continue to study the content of Lucien's paper: "······Weak Observer...Strong Observer..."
He was suddenly stunned, thinking about the recent investigation, and said with a faint fear: "The accumulation of faith seems to be the gathering of special electromagnetic waves, but it is actually the gathering of weak observers and the evolution of strong observers?"
"this……"
What would those strong people who are good at "playing with" the power of faith think of this paper?
