Throne of Magical Arcana

The thirty-first floor of the Allinge Magic Tower.

Although it was already night, the magic tower was automatically closed and entry and exit were prohibited, but Lucien was a great arcanist, so he was naturally completely unaffected, and took Natasha to jump from his demiplane "atomic universe" to the thirty-third On the second floor, he entered his own study room and stepped on the elevator.

The Magic Tower at night is extremely quiet. Walking in the silver-gray aisle, the sound of footsteps reverberates loudly, bringing out a strange atmosphere of emptiness and silence.

As soon as Lucien and Natasha entered the area where "Sky Radio Station" was located, a giant white wolf ran out. After spotting Lucien, it whimpered, lay down on the ground, and wagged its tail to please.

"Good evening, Evans... Your Excellency, good evening, Your Majesty the Queen." Louise, who was wearing a light yellow simple long dress, also saw Lucien and the two of them, and almost called Mr. Evans out of habit.

Hearing her sweet and familiar voice, Natasha was a little surprised and said: "You are Ms. Nightingale? I like the show you host very much. Hey, aren't you Louise? Louise, the missing musician of Alto?"

From the somewhat impressionable delicate face and the iconic white wolf, she thought of the new musician in Alto.

"She is the musician Louise, but I believe you are familiar with her other nickname, Quicksilver, the magic apprentice Quicksilver." Lucien introduced Natasha with a smile.

Natasha opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she could only shake her head with a self-deprecating smile and said, "It's time for the Aalto Musician Association to change its name to the Aalto Magician Association. Is it easy for musicians to become magicians, or do magicians like it?" Using musicians to hide identity?"

Before she met Lucien, she knew about the magic apprentice Quicksilver through the protection of Sylvia by the intelligence personnel, but she never thought that she was also a musician and escaped to Allinge!

This is not Alto's Association of Magicians, it is obviously Alto's "studying abroad" training meeting, Lucien silently slandered.

Louise smiled slightly: "Because there is an excellent example of a great musician and a great arcanist, Your Majesty the Queen, are you here to visit the radio station?"

Natasha first glanced at Lucien with a smile, he was indeed a good role model, and then said with a cheerful and enthusiastic smile: "Because I really like the voice and anchor style of you and Ms. Lark, I ask Lucien to bring me here I listened quietly, but I didn't expect to meet you directly, your real voice is even better than the one on the magic radio."

"That's because the effect of the radio and the broadcast is not yet clear." Lucien defended the radio station.

Louise, who is already a Magician of the Three Rings, smiled sweetly but politely: "I am honored to be favored by Her Majesty the Queen, but the 'Voice of Mystery' is about to begin, please allow me to be rude, Your Excellency Evans, Samantha and the others Waiting for you in the meeting room."

"No, I was rude and wasted your time." Natasha watched Louise enter the "Voice of Mystery" live broadcast room, and said happily, "I met Ms. Nightingale when I first arrived, it seems that my bad luck has begun It's getting better."

She was referring to the laboratory disaster in the morning, and how she managed to surpass Lucien in level. She was able to surprise him and enjoy the fun of strong suppression, but instead she was suppressed by him.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you so polite and graceful." Lucien teased Natasha as he led Natasha through the door of the "Voice of Mystery" live broadcast room to the meeting room at the bottom.

Natasha smiled and glanced at Lucien: "My politeness and demeanor are only shown to ladies, hehe, you also have a 'chance'."

The two walked forward while chatting casually, but Louise in the "Voice of Mystery" live broadcast room behind her sighed softly: "Her Majesty the Queen and Your Excellency Evans have known each other for a long time, and they should have been lovers when they were in Alto... Now finally It is really enviable to overcome many obstacles and come together..."

She clearly saw that Lucien and Natasha were wearing rings on their left ring fingers, especially Natasha's, which was a very famous fantasy accessory, Holm's crown ring "Element".

…………

Pushing open the door of the conference room, all the arcanists including Samantha stood up and saluted with their right hands on their foreheads: "Your Excellency, you are the truth of the elements and hold the scepter of time and space."

"You don't need to be so troublesome, just call your Excellency respectfully, everyone's time is precious." Lucien made a humorous comment, and then pointed to Natasha next to him, "This is my fiancee Natasha, Hall Queen of Mu Kingdom."

The Arcanists, regardless of gender, cheered up. This is the first-hand news. His Excellency Evans directly admitted his engagement to the Queen! At the same time, they secretly admired Natasha's beauty and temperament. They are used to seeing all kinds of female magicians. It's hard not to feel amazed when they see this kind of heroic lady, especially Natasha's own conditions are very good. .

Samantha was startled, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she showed a sincere smile: "I just found out about your engagement, and I wish you happiness forever."

Natasha froze for a moment and smiled, "Are you Ms. Lark? Your voice is more beautiful than a real lark. I am your loyal listener. You are more intellectual than I imagined."

"I'm honored." Samantha returned to her expressionless expression, looked at Lucien and said, "Your Excellency Evans, it is indeed the church's radio station, called 'Voice of Redemption'."

Following her words, the low-pitched discussions of the Arcanists gradually stopped, and the voices in the magic circle clearly entered the ears of Lucien and Natasha:

"We believe that there must be a truth in the world that is accepted regardless of race or occupation. It is the virtues of benevolence, compassion, tolerance, honesty, and courage. It is the holy light that the Lord loves. It can calm our hearts. Evil magicians, dark knights, etc. who are not infected by this evil world and violate such universal principles are depraved, cruel, vicious, and will surely be destroyed..."

"...We are brothers and sisters, embracing each other, reciting the holy name of the Lord, and getting the salvation of the soul. This time, we invited believers from all walks of life to tell everyone what is faith, what is love and what is love? Mercy and other virtues."

"...I am a believer from a poor area. Here, as long as you are sick or injured, it often means death. I encountered such a serious illness a few months ago, but I was lucky to survive , because my neighbors, the pastors and adults in the slums, full of virtues of benevolence and compassion, treated me, took care of me, and gradually recovered my body without regard to any reward. During these days, my mind was at peace like never before. ..."

"...I used to be anxious, irritable, and have all kinds of negative emotions, but after the priests explained, as I confessed more and more from the bottom of my heart, I calmed down and enjoyed the tranquility I never had before. That is the harbor and destination of the soul..."

...

"The next program is "Cruel Magic You Don't Know". During the Rentat War, the evil magicians summoned the demons from the abyss by sacrificing humans alive. The cruelty is so cruel that it makes people heinous. What are the details? What about them? I will restore them one by one for you..."

An arcanist couldn't help laughing and said: "The church is completely copying our program ideas!"

"This is the only way to get it out so quickly. The anchor is a female priest with an ethereal and holy voice." Another arcanist also replied with a smile.

"Don't underestimate the understanding of the Pope and the top leaders of the church on the development of arcane arts, but the setting of the program is still too rigid and rigid, not lively enough, and not attractive enough." Lucien nodded lightly, "Arrange special personnel to monitor this Channel, you can consider responding to more sensitive topics in the mysterious voice, but you can't follow their rhythm."

"Yes." The arcanists replied in unison.

"...Our fate has long been arranged by the true God. Everything is preordained. Only by believing in the Lord can we be saved..."

Hearing this sentence, all the arcanists showed contemptuous expressions, which made Natasha quite curious: "Everyone, this is the church's definition of fate, I don't know what is the concept of fate in arcane and magic , to what extent can the prophecy magic of the astrology system be accurate?"

Her mother was not good at astrology, so she naturally didn't know much about it.

As a high-level magician of the astrology system, Samantha said solemnly and solemnly: "In the astrology system, fate is also arranged. Everything is doomed, but it has nothing to do with the God of Truth."

"Why?" Natasha looked at Lucien and Samantha suspiciously. It was difficult for her to accept that fate could not be changed.

Lucien smiled and motioned her to listen first, and then speak if she felt something was wrong.

"Why... I don't know, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the 'Thanos Demon'?" Samantha recalled what she had learned, intending to describe it in as simple a language as possible.

Natasha shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."

Since Lucien has just studied astrology in depth, he doesn't know much about "Thanos Demon".

"In the late period of the ancient magic empire, magicians began to believe in determinism, also known as the law of causality. They believed that as long as they knew all the conditions, parameters, or influencing factors of an event, they could know the outcome of the event with certainty through various laws. As a result, where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and where there is an effect, there must be a cause.” Samantha first briefly explained the law of causality, “With the development of arcane art, this concept has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as long as conditions and data are given , we can draw definite results based on the corresponding arcane theory.”

Seeing that Natasha was still in a daze, a male arcanist next to her added an example: "Your Majesty, if I have a quintal in my hand and throw it casually, it may fall to the ground regardless of whether it is head or tail. ,Is it right?"

"Yes." Natasha thought for a while, looked at Lucien again, and answered seriously.

"No, that's not the case. After the shot, as long as I know the strength I used, the center of gravity, material, surrounding wind speed, humidity and many other conditions of Quintaller, I can calculate which side it will land on based on the Douglas motion system. There is no other possibility." The Arcanist said proudly.

Arcanists explore the world, discover and summarize laws, and then use the laws to predict the "trajectory" of the world's movement. The closer the laws are to reality, the more accurate the grasp of the world's movement will be. This is the charm of arcane art, making people feel like gods in the world!

Natasha thought about it carefully: "I understand. At the moment when Quintaller is thrown out, all factors are determined, so the result is also doomed."

"It's good to understand, this is determinism, this is the law of causality, and 'Thanos Demon' is a concept proposed by 'Sun King' Thanos, one of the four greatest magicians in the history of the astrology system."

Samantha returned to the original topic, "He regards the current state of the entire world as the cause of the past and the future, so it is assumed that there is a very powerful demon of wisdom who knows all the current states and laws, and has mastered every Atoms, er, every proton, neutron, and electron, then it can apply laws, deduce cause from effect, and accurately trace back all the things that happened in the past.”

"Moreover, it can also predict anything that will happen in the future, and the future will unfold in front of it as surely as the past. This is the 'Thanos demon', which tells every magician in the astrology Teacher, the fate of the entire world has been doomed since its birth, and there will be no change. We cannot accurately predict the future because we do not know enough and the laws are not complete enough.”

Natasha couldn't accept this fateful law of cause and effect at all: "But everyone's mind is unpredictable."

"No, from the perspective of the illusion department, everyone's character is affected by the surrounding environment, that is to say, the character is definitely shaped by many factors, and the determined character, coupled with all other factors when making a decision, The unpredictable human heart will actually give a predetermined answer. Your Majesty, when you made your battle plan, didn't you guess the opponent's reaction based on his personality and past style? Didn't the more you know, the more you react? The more accurate your guess is?" Samantha said calmly.

Natasha nodded, but shook her head, not knowing how to refute.

Samantha rarely showed a proud and slightly sentimental expression: "Every arcanist in the astrological system will be proud of being able to see fate, and also sad that fate cannot be changed. This is cruel and cold. But it is a fact, there is a cause and an effect, everything has been decided by the past."

The discussion on fate ended quietly, and Natasha fell silent. She held Lucien's hand only after leaving the Allinge Magic Tower, looked at the starry sky and said, "Lucien, you believe that destiny is doomed, Is it impossible to change at all?"

This feeling is so uncomfortable and hopeless!

"I don't believe it." Lucien replied with a smile. After unlocking the seal from the Soul Library, he was already reading and learning about quantum mechanics.

Natasha didn't expect Lucien to answer so simply and firmly, she turned her head to look at him in amazement, and then said with a smile: "Me too, I believe we can change our own destiny to a limited extent, hehe, I should have known your answer a long time ago , that soul of struggle that has not changed since the "Symphony of Destiny", this is what I admire and like most about you."

"Hey, subjective initiative." Lucien said in a low voice, and then solemnly looked at the starry sky under Natasha's slightly puzzled eyes:

"The law of karma must die!"

Because we need to be born!

PS: The prototype of "Thanos Demon" is "Laplace Demon".

PS2: The last sentence is an acronym for "the law of causality must die, because physics needs to live".

It’s the middle of the month, and the 4,000-character chapter asks for a monthly ticket~
