Obviously, Allen prefers to believe in science than metaphysics.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to stay in the astronomical tower all night in order to measure the stars.
After weeks of sleepless research, he has combined a large number of precedents to establish a complex mathematical model for the selection of the destiny main star.
Allen discovered that the influencing factors in this process are not just the brightness of the stars, but also the height from the ground, trajectory, color, etc.
And these factors affect not only the intensity of magic power, but also the properties of magic power.
After some careful calculations, Allen finally made up his mind and chose a star for himself in the southeastern star field.
It was a blue star, very similar to the color of his eyes, bright but not dazzling, and very comfortable to look at.
Based on his mathematical model, Allen can roughly predict that this star will not provide him with strong magic power, but it will give him meticulous magic control capabilities.
And most of the time, accurate control is often more practical than powerful power.
Thinking of this, his consciousness drifted away.
The star glowed brightly, seeming to welcome his arrival.
…………
However, just when Allen's consciousness was about to touch the star, an accident happened.
He found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't establish contact with it.
It was as if there was an invisible resistance in the void, preventing him from contacting the star.
"What on earth is going on?"
There has never been a similar situation recorded in magic books.
This gave Allen a deep headache.
He rested for a moment and tried to fly towards the blue star again.
As expected, the invisible barrier appeared again, blocking his consciousness.
"This is incredible."
Allen shook his head and sighed helplessly.
He never expected that such an unprecedented trouble would actually happen to him.
…………
After resting for a few minutes, he decided to change to an alternative target and try again.
This time, he chose a crimson star. This star was huge in size, and its surface burned violently, with blazing flames spurting out in all directions, as if it was going to burn everything in the world, which was daunting.
If you can't choose the exquisite magic control ability, you will let the power itself be extremely tyrannical.
Allen didn't hesitate for too long, and let his consciousness go straight towards this scary-looking star.
Then, he failed again.
Invisible obstacles appeared again, blocking his consciousness from outside.
…………
In this way, Allen tried again and again, trying all the stars on his alternative list, and then failed again and again.
Until the last star on the alternative list was marked with a small cross by him, he finally had to reluctantly admit that something unexpected must have happened to him, preventing him from establishing contact with the main star of destiny.
Ever since he started learning magic, all kinds of unreasonable and unexpected situations have always happened to Allen.
Allen has long been accustomed to this, and is naturally able to keep his mind relaxed and calm.
"Is it because I accidentally dug down the 'Magic Well'?"
"Is it because the black crystal is doing something secretly?"
He narrowed his eyes and thought hard.
However, because there was no precedent for this kind of thing, Allen racked his brains and could not come up with a reasonable explanation.
So he secretly made a decision: "I'll try it one more time, just once. This time, I'll just choose the stars by chance.
"If the connection can be successfully established, then thank fate. If it fails, then I will temporarily give up the promotion and wait until I join the Mage Tower to find a way to solve the problem.
"The Mage Tower has a rich collection of books, which may be able to explain this unexpected situation in my life."
…………
After making his decision, Allen didn't delay any longer.
His consciousness soared into the sky again, floating wantonly in the endless void.
This time, he did not deliberately choose or control the direction subconsciously. Instead, he drifted with the flow, like a rootless duckweed, quietly feeling the gravity from the stars.
Unknowingly, his consciousness drifted towards the northwest star field.
This star field was once marked by Merlins with a red pen.
Because the trajectories of some of the stars did not conform to the calculation results of the law of gravity, Merlins was puzzled for a time, and therefore stayed outside the threshold of the legendary realm for a long time and stopped moving forward.
But now the problem is solved.
Merlins has confirmed that the abnormal trajectory of those stars is due to the existence of "dark stars".
The so-called "dark stars", as the name suggests, refer to stars that do not emit light and are invisible to the naked eye.
This research result caused a sensation in the entire Mage Tower, and also allowed Merlins to successfully advance to become a legendary mage.
After hearing the news, many low-level magicians and mid-level magicians who studied astrological magic turned their attention to the "Dark Star", trying to study the details clearly, and published several papers along the way.
Think about it, the birth of a brand new concept like "Dark Star" will undoubtedly spawn countless papers and help magicians apply for ample research funds.
But so far, what exactly a "dark star" is remains an unsolved mystery.
…………
At this moment, Allen had completely relaxed his body and mind and no longer paid attention to where his consciousness was going.
He didn't know that his consciousness was flying towards the legendary "dark star" in the northwest star field.
A "dark star" has no light.
Among the stars in the sky, it blends into the dark sky, perfectly hidden in it, and difficult to distinguish.
But Allen's consciousness still drifted towards it accurately.
The moment the two came into contact, an invisible line appeared.
One end of it is connected to the lightless "Dark Star", and the other end is connected to Allen's consciousness.
In this way, it only took a blink of an eye for Allen to establish contact with the "Dark Star".
Likewise, this is also an extremely incredible thing.
Because according to the records in magic books, establishing a connection between a magician and the Destiny Star not only consumes a lot of mental energy, but also takes an average of three hours to complete. Even a genius like Merlins can do this.
It took more than an hour.
Allen's behavior at this time was definitely not like establishing contact for the first time.
Instead, it's more like this thread of fate already existed many years ago, and Allen just reactivated it with his consciousness.
"It turns out...my destiny star is actually the legendary 'Dark Star'?"
Allen was a little surprised by this, but also felt a little funny. He thought that he and the "Dark Star" were really destined, and he was worthy of being the main star of destiny.
But the next moment, his smile suddenly froze.
Because he discovered that the "dark star" is not actually a star.
Nor is it the demiplane of the legendary mage.
Not even the white dwarfs or black holes I saw in books in my previous life.
