"You said that everything in the world is composed of tiny particles, and countless particles constitute the physical objects. Therefore, liquids, gases and solids are essentially the same. They are all composed of countless tiny particles.
?"
The mage's expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes sparkled with the desire for knowledge.
"Well... you can also say that."
Rhodes smiled awkwardly. He didn't know what the genius mage in front of him thought of, but no matter what he thought of, Rhodes firmly believed that he could not truly understand the microscopic world, because this theory and knowledge are of great significance to people in this world and this era.
To say the least, it was too far ahead of its time.
"Great Lord, before you came in, I looked at the bottle of liquid, that bottle of copper sulfate reagent. For a moment, I suddenly felt that the bottle contained not a liquid, but countless flowing particles."
Galt was lost in thought as he spoke, not noticing the excitement on the face of Archduke Kislev in front of him.
"As you said, liquids and gases are also composed of countless smiling particles. At that moment, I seemed to see the truth in the bottle. It was like quicksand. Countless tiny sand grains rubbed and flowed with each other, turning into
A flowing force. If you think of the desert as another form of the ocean, then the sand is like water molecules, and countless water molecules interact with each other to form water flow. Is that right? Am I right? Great Lord."
Galt spoke in a daze, as if he was dragged from fantasy into reality. But at this moment, the real world seems to be an illusion to the mage.
"Very correct."
Rhodes replied excitedly——
"So, let's discuss magic, which I'm not good at."
"Magic? In fact, I only understand the magic in my own field. I don't know much about the magic in other fields."
"You don't need to know too much, what we are discussing is the essence of things."
Rhodes smiled and interrupted the mage. If his judgment was correct, Rhodes could guess that the genius mage in front of him had already reached the edge of awakening. With just a little more help, maybe he could elevate himself to another level.
A grade.
"Following the topic just now, Galt, what do you think the flame wizard and the ice wizard use to cast their spells?"
Rhodes asked.
"I have no idea."
Galt replied with some frustration.
"Okay, then, let me tell you, as a metal mage, what are the conditions and media for you to cast magic?"
Rhodes continued to ask.
"It requires metal raw materials, spells, and specific spell conditions. Some powerful spells also require rituals, which can take days and nights to complete."
Galt answered truthfully.
"But in essence, it is still the metal itself. Use powerful spells to reorganize the metal structure, and create another brand-new metal without even relying on chemical reactions."
The mage added another sentence.
"In other words, it is essentially the reorganization of metal particles?"
Rhodes smiled.
The mage nodded and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about the meaning of the man in front of him.
"Gelt, young mage, although I don't know much about magic, I still know a little bit about the principles. Caroline, my wife, once told me that when he uses magic, he uses the ability to absorb
The frost element in the air, and the flame mage, also have the same principle. The natural elements in the surrounding environment are very important to the role and influence of this type of mage."
"This is why frost mages are more powerful in colder places, while fire mages are more powerful in hotter places. Essentially, they all use the natural elements in the environment."
Rhodes said and pointed to the bottles and jars on the table, as well as the pen inserted in the pen holder——
"The principle of magic is essentially to use elements in the surrounding environment. Just like the liquid in the bottle has copper elements, and the pen in the pen holder has gold, silver and copper elements. If you want to cast a spell at this moment, you must need these most basic elements.
elements exist.”
Galt readily agreed with Rhodes' statement.
"That's true. It's just that they are too small."
"A small amount? Oh, don't say that, it's such a small amount of material, can you control it freely?"
Rhodes asked. At this time, the mage shook his head in embarrassment.
"Great Lord, you clearly understand the principles of magic, but you know nothing about the process of casting magic... I may be a little offensive when I say this, but what I want to say is that casting spells requires a corresponding environment and a corresponding environment.
Spells. Some spells are only applicable to specific metals, while others require strong thoughts to maintain the stability of the spell for a long time."
"That's what ordinary mages do. Are you an ordinary mage? Are you the same as them?"
Rhodes' words made Galt silent for a moment. It was as if his already fragile self-confidence had been dealt a devastating blow again.
"I have seen many powerful mages who were invincible on the frontal battlefield, but died in a dark corner from a third-rate assassin's poisonous dagger. The biggest drawback and weakness of mages and spells is that the casting process is too long and too slow. Understand
What?"
Rhodes' tone became stern.
"By the time you finish reciting that long and complicated spell, the enemy has already rushed in front of you. If you hurry up, it only takes a second or two to cut your throat."
"On the frontal battlefield, there are a large number of soldiers protecting the mage, so they have enough time to cast spells, but in normal times, they do not have such superior conditions. Therefore, the introductory course for the mage is close combat, and the purpose is to protect your delicate bodies.
."
Rhodes' words slapped Galt's confidence into pieces.
He lowered his head in inferiority. After so many years of pride and self-confidence, he finally realized that he was just a mediocre person.
"But you are different, Geert."
Rhodes changed the topic, which rekindled a little hope in the mage's eyes.
"You know the principle of magic, just like when others see a liquid, it is a liquid, but you see the countless flowing particles in the liquid. This is the difference between genius and mediocrity."
"So what can I do..."
Galt was still a little frustrated.
"That's very important. Since it is a particle, it can be controlled. Do you think a fire mage can control a fireball?"
Rhodes continued to ask.
After a short silence, the mage suddenly seemed to understand something and stood up from his chair excitedly.
"Yes, that fireball is made up of countless fire element particles. The flame mage just uses the original particles in the surrounding environment to condense them together for his own use. In the same way, metal particles can also do the same.
"
Rhodes' words were like a thunderbolt, awakening the depressed mage.
Galt's face once again glowed with some glory.
"Abandon those dogmas, cumbersome spells and rituals, simply feel it, feel the metal elements, this bottle of liquid, this pen, and this coin, simply feel it, without any restrictions, imagine them as countless particles
,you can try."
Rhodes continued -
"I'm not a mage, and I'm not sensitive to metals, flames, etc., but you can. I believe that Belshazer Galt is not a mediocre person."
After Rhodes finished speaking, he threw an ordinary gold crown coin on the table——
"Use the purest power to control it and give it a try."
The mage nodded, closed his eyes silently, touched the coin with three fingers, and felt the metal element in it.
"Flowing sand, flowing particles, try it, Galt, you can transform it into any shape if you want."
Rhodes whispered softly from the side.
The mage tried his best to feel the coin. His fingertips were trembling and his eyebrows were trembling slightly.
However, after a long time, the pure gold coin remained unchanged at all.
"I can't do it...no spells, no rituals, nothing...I can't do it..."
Galt sat down panting. His face was livid, half tired and half annoyed.
"Try again. Even moving the coin one millimeter is a breakthrough. Galt, you must know that we are doing something that has never been done before. It is difficult, indeed very difficult. But, you
Must try.”
Rhodes encouraged him, although he didn't know whether the young mage in front of him could do it. If he could, this ability to subvert the common sense of magic would be incredible.
