Throne of Magical Arcana

In the monotonous black, white and gray world, Douglas, Fernando, and Lucien did not directly jump in space, but flew in midair, emitting a powerful coercion, and even unintelligent undead creatures knew to stay away from them.

"Collect the power of emotions to transform yourself into a state similar to the ancient devil, and then use the power of faith and the fusion of space energy to take the step of becoming a god...Your Excellency Thanos is indeed the greatest magic in the astrology system He is one of the masters, he is the first strong person to advance to this level other than the natural gods..." Although Douglas was born at the end of the Sylvanas Magic Empire, which was far from the era when Thanos was in power, he In life and study, he is often influenced by what he sees and hears, so he is still used to calling him your Excellency.

He sighed a lot about this matter, saying that he was not moved, it would be a lie, the road to becoming a god-like was clearly shown in front of his eyes, I am afraid that no one can control his mood well.

Fernando is fine, he has only been promoted to the Legendary Peak not long ago, and he is far from being qualified to take this step, but he is different. He has been at the Legendary Peak for hundreds of years, and is known as being comparable to the Sun King before his "fall". As long as you are willing, you can collect the power of emotions to transform within ten years, and rearrange the magic circle, and then, with the help of monsters, "borrow" the power of Heavenly Mountain to advance to the level of gods - regardless of the possibility of transformation failure .

However, the hidden dangers of Thanos and Viken after becoming god-like were also clearly displayed in front of him, and his path starting from the cognitive world and the general theory of relativity, although not clear enough, was undoubtedly clear. It has shown a bright prospect. Ten years later, decades later, it may be possible to advance to the god-like class without any hidden dangers. Therefore, greed can be easily restrained, especially when the original road has just revealed its light. It's not time to despair.

"If you want me to say that they are purely dazzled by desire, they are doing an extremely stupid thing. The ancient devils themselves are not god-like. What's the point of transforming into their state except to accept the power of faith?" Even Regarding Thanos, the pioneer of the magic empire period, Fernando did not show mercy, and unceremoniously belittled their research, "Of course, they also have their own value, and they gave us examples of failure!"

"However, a Viken who can actually use the 'God's Arrival' technique many times is an absolutely dangerous existence. We have no ability to fight him yet. Therefore, in addition to our own efforts to reach the god-like level, we have to study him. Find his weakness on the road to become a godlike." Douglas said cautiously, except for monsters, no one knows how many times Viken can use the "God's Arrival" in a row, "We can't just because this road shows failures, Without thinking about it, it's time for us to include ancient demons in our research."

Lucien nodded. Studying ancient devils will help him grasp the mystery and essence of that state transition, and discover the reality of the world: "One day, I will go to explore the ancient ruins in the deepest part of hell."

The "Lord of Hell" stared at him covetously. Without the strength of the legendary peak, Lucien would not dare to run to hell.

"As long as there is enough exchange of interests, even if you kill a certain Duke of Hell, the Lord of Hell will not mind, not to mention such a small 'thing' as damaging the projection. However, we must beware of him secretly arranging for greater interests. Conspiracy." Douglas is no stranger to the Lord of Hell, he has explored Hell many times, "When this matter calms down, I will go to the ancient ruins in the deepest part of Hell to collect 'data' for research, you don't have to take risks .”

"Your Excellency, don't worry, the harvest from this adventure is enough for me to digest for a long time, and before becoming the pinnacle of legend, I would rather go to the abyss than hell." Lucien said sincerely.

When Fernando heard the word "harvest", he thought of the "Chamber of Immortality", and said to himself: "The secret of immortality is the starry sky? What kind of secret is this... Is it true that you have to go further than a god to see it?" ?”

"I don't think that's necessarily the case. The 'starry sky landscape' and its intangible and inaccessible nature may hide a secret, and this secret is related to immortality."

"Fernando, have you forgotten that we haven't discovered the existence of planets in the universe until now? Even if we look back at the world below, we can't see it, as if covered by some power, but in the chamber of immortality, hidden Looking at the starry sky, there may be some connection between the two, and if you can solve this mystery, you may be able to touch the secret of immortality." Douglas analyzed the situation of the chamber of immortality from a purely arcane perspective.

Lucien said meaningfully: "The 'starry sky scene' in the Immortal Chamber of Secrets may really be related to the inability to discover the existence of planets."

It's just that this "relatedness" is completely different from what normal people imagine. Lucien has some guesses and thoughts about it, but more theoretical foundations and phenomena are needed to verify and modify it.

The way to explore the real world has always been to make bold assumptions and carefully verify, both of which are indispensable!

Fernando retorted habitually: "Not necessarily. Doesn't the general theory of relativity discuss that light will bend in the gravitational field? The position of the planet we calculate from the starlight may be very different from the reality."

"It's entirely possible." Both Douglas and Lucien nodded in agreement, especially Lucien clearly knew the existence of the phenomenon of "gravitational lensing". Of course, this still needs to be verified by actual astronomical phenomena and "field tests".

Seeing that they had no objection, Fernando immediately lost interest in discussing this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "There is another phenomenon related to this. When we explore the end of the endless ocean, according to Douglas' theory, we should reach the other side of the Dark Mountains." However, when the legendary magicians of the past generations explored the endless ocean or the moonlight sea on the other side of the dark mountains, no matter how they positioned themselves, they would eventually return to a certain area they passed on the way, and they could not verify the existence of the planet by circumnavigating the world."

This is one of the most famous mysteries after Douglas proposed the theory of celestial bodies movement. Lucien has known and guessed for a long time. He suspected that there are phenomena such as space folding, but he couldn't figure out why this happened until he opened the immortal chamber and saw After seeing the familiar starry sky, I have a certain direction, and I said silently in my heart, after digesting the harvest of this adventure, it is time to explore the end of the endless ocean.

Speaking of this, Fernando unceremoniously mocked the Lord of Hell: "Martimus has always regarded himself as the most intelligent creature, but in my opinion, he is as brainless as the abyss, the secret of immortality How could it be placed there directly for people to see and know? The secret of immortality should be a phenomenon, related to astrological trajectories, elemental properties, natural geography, and biological development, but it contains information about immortality. The mysteries of the world must be studied in order to gain something!"

"After seeing the 'starry sky', Martimus didn't ask a few reasons, and just laughed in disappointment, explaining that it is only a little smarter than the abyss, and still can't get rid of the nature of low-intelligence creatures!"

Teacher, your mouth is really poisonous, this is a typical Arcanist thinking, how can the Lord of Hell have it? Lucien shook his head and smiled.

Douglas also has a similar expression. You usually think that I have too many questions, but now you are laughing at Martimus for not asking why. It is really wrong.

He laughed and shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not discuss the 'starry sky' in the Immortal Chamber for now, we still have to focus on the current arcane theories, perhaps as we uncover the mysteries of the microcosm and understand the macroscopic starry sky. Mysteries, the secrets of immortality hidden in the 'starry sky' are naturally revealed."

"This is the most correct way." Lucien agreed, and suddenly remembered something, "Your Excellency, we are spreading the matter about Thanos and Viken on a large scale, shaking the foundation of the belief of the God of Truth, and causing the cardinal Are the suspicions of the members of the bishops' conference hidden in secret, and used to win over some clergy?"

"Spread it on a large scale? The 'Voice of Mystery' has been on the air for several years. The believers have become accustomed to the various dark histories of the church. There are many exaggerated ones, so the effect may not be good." Douglas pondered.

This is for several countries in the Storm Strait and the coastal corridor of the Northland, because in these places, there will be several magic radios in at least one block, and the owners of the radios are either members of the Magic Council, or they like everyone to listen together, so that the "voice of mystery" "Covered a considerable part of the population, and, as the Kingdom of Holm and others completely fell to the parliament, the "manor horn" and "square horn" invented by Lucien well undertook the work of popularization, making most people Civilians can hear the "Voice of the Mystery".

However, in countries across the sea such as the Holy Hiertz Empire, except for the unrestricted nobles, magic radios are rare things. The church does not have that ability, and there is no such magical item that needs to be popularized. They broadcast it in the church. Broadcasting attracts believers to pray, so the coverage of the "Voice of Mystery" in these places is very poor, and it can only be developed secretly by intelligence personnel sent by the Magic Council.

In Lucien's view, this is a "spy movie".

Fernando added: "The King of Angels was in the holy city of Lance before, and his return shows that Viken probably also knew about the leak of the secret. He will definitely make preparations for us to win over some clergymen, so we can't be careless."

"How about using both methods? While using the 'Voice of Mystery' to spread plausible stories, shaking the foundation of belief and making Viken think that we haven't figured out all the secrets, while retaining core information and looking for opportunities to win over church personnel." Douglas thought it over, "This issue is of great importance. Let's discuss it here first, and we will hold a meeting of the Supreme Jury to make a decision after we go back."

While speaking, the three of them had already arrived at the advance base.

Inside the defensive magic circle, Brook, wearing a white wig, looked at the figures of the three of them, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and exhaled lightly, "Just come back..."

The "Prophet" Begna, who still had the gray pointed hat, also smiled: "The two legendary pinnacles really shouldn't fall so easily."

…………

In the "Atomic Universe", Natasha is still doing hard training every day, leaving only a little time for recovery.

The sword light of "Pale Justice" flashed, and an illusory and ferocious crack appeared on the elemental planet, and countless small traces continued to spread to the side. It seemed that this small planet that had been devastated by her could hardly bear it and was about to be destroyed.

Crackling, crackling applause came from the airless darkness.

Natasha turned her head in surprise, and saw a young man wearing a black top hat walking out of the deep starry sky, with a relaxed smile on his handsome face: "I haven't seen you for a while, and my strength seems to have improved again."

Rubbing her eyes, Natasha frowned: "Devil, take my sword!"

When the sword light slashed, Lucien was taken aback. Did Natasha "go crazy"?

Before he could figure out whether to take the sword forcefully or knock her out, the sword light suddenly subsided, and Natasha flew in front of her, hugging Lucien with her face pressed together, her breathing was a little rapid, and her tone was full of Intense joy: "It really is a familiar taste!"

Or a familiar recipe? Lucien slandered silently, feeling warm and happy with Natasha's undisguised true feelings, hugged her tightly with both hands, and said in a low voice, "Worried about me being in danger?"

"Of course, you are my husband, my lover. How could I not be worried about you disappearing behind the hearth of the soul?" The purple eyes looked at Lucien carefully, and said with a bright smile: "It doesn't look like you're injured?"

"Not only was he not injured, but he also got a lot of good things." Lucien smiled, and kissed Natasha on the lips, "There are fountains of youth, mummy gloves, the master eye of the legendary Domeku, stand-in puppets, and some Only the hand of the curse."

Then, Lucien looked at the surrounding scene and joked: "Are you working hard? Come save me after you are ready to advance to legend? Seeing that you haven't been promoted to epic, have you been weak and hated yourself during this time? Not very confident?"

Only Natasha and Lucien would joke like this.

Natasha laughed dryly: "Am I this kind of person? I'm sure of my confidence. If you disappear for another month, I will become an epic knight!"

"Then who is playing "Fate" in the magic tower?" Lucien exposed her "mercilessly".

Natasha dodged her beautiful eyes, moved her hands up, held Lucien's head, and gave him a long and deep kiss.

"How about it, do you feel my confidence?" Natasha said out of breath with her mouth parted.

Lucien was also a little unsteady, he laughed and said: "I feel it, with such progress, you will be promoted to Epic within a few years."

A few years later, I should also have hope to hit the third level of legend, right?

"At that time, I will be able to take risks with you." Natasha said firmly, "In order to fully attack the epic field, let's not consider the issue of future generations for the time being, okay?"

Lucien nodded lightly: "I fully support you."

Then, he stretched his head forward, breathed in Natasha's ear, and said with a chuckle, "But you have to make it up to me."

Feeling the itching in her ears and remembering some "unbearable" things, Natasha's cheeks blushed uncontrollably again.

…………

In the Atomic Research Institute, Arcanists such as Splinter were busy with their respective experiments. Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice and said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with your hard work."

Hmm, teacher? Heidi turned around and said happily, "Teacher, welcome back! We have accumulated a lot of questions and want to ask you."

Since the exploration of the Necromancer world was strictly blocked, they didn't know the danger Lucien encountered, and they only thought that he was going out normally, so after seeing him come back, they were not particularly excited or excited.

Lucien looked at Heidi with a smile, and said to Annick and the other students: "Is it possible that the original Heidi was killed by the devil, and now the devil transformed into it? He even offered to ask questions!"

"Because the research project you entrusted to Cherie and me has made a breakthrough." Heidi said triumphantly.

Lucien raised his eyebrows on the right: "An analysis of the principle of the auxiliary computing magic circle?"

"Yes!" Heidi seemed impatient to show her results.

At this time, Splinter said to Heidi: "The teacher just came back, so I have to report some important things to him first."

"What's important?" Lucien asked suspiciously. Natasha didn't seem to mention it, but she's been practicing hard all this time, so it's normal not to know what happened.

Katrina smiled brightly: "Congratulations, teacher, you have won the first Evans Arcane Award. You and Mr. Dieppe shared this Arcane Award for your outstanding contributions to wave-particle duality and electron diffraction." , the title of the medal is 'Duality'."

As she spoke, she also used scene magic to show the appearance of the Evans Arcane Award. This medal, with a black background on the top, is inlaid with a silver-white planet representing the macrocosm, and a silver-white planet at the bottom, representing the microscopic realm. A black atomic symbol with a strange charm.

This is the basic shape of the Evans Arcane Medal that Lucien designed after "Tai Chi", with the word "Dual Image" inlaid in the middle.

"Why is it an image? Who helped me receive the award?" Lucien probably guessed that the Magic Council intended to cover up the disappearance of himself and others, so he deliberately made this award in advance.

Leiliya couldn't help smiling when she thought of it: "Little Crystal helped you get it."

They are already familiar with Little Crystal Afris.

Did it take it directly to your home? This is simply sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth... Lucien smiled and shook his head, he didn't care much about the medals, but in order to restrain Afris's greed and create a healthy Longge for him, he must make it clear when return.

The students chattered to report the more important things that happened in the parliament, as well as the noteworthy research results that appeared during this period, the operation of Holt School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, etc.

After listening, Lucien "cared" for Black, Lowe, Ophelia and other assistants, and finally walked into the conference room to hold a regular meeting—after Annick and others became middle-level arcanists and magicians However, there is no need for one of the three of Lazar to stay in the institute all the time, so they made an appointment to complete this year's mandatory tasks together.

Heidi was not in a hurry now, and said carelessly: "Teacher, Splinter and Annick gave a hypothesis about the phenomenon of abnormal line splitting."

"What hypothesis?" Lucien could probably guess what it was, and looked at the two with a slight smile.

Annick said a little shyly: "It's the electron spin, but according to our calculated results..."

The more he said, the lower the voice, and Splinter simply added for him: "The calculated rotation speed of the electron surface is ten times the speed of light..."

He was very loud at first, but when he spoke later, he was also a little unconfident.

"Show me the manuscript." Lucien asked for their manuscript and began to read it carefully.

Heidi helped them and said: "Not only that, many arcanists who study new alchemy also feel that the concept of electron spin is somewhat problematic, and the new alchemy model of matrix mechanics does not exclude concepts that cannot be directly observed, such as orbits. ? Why is it spinning again? This is almost exactly the same as the celestial body’s operating system.”

"But this spin model explains the splitting phenomenon very well, and it is also consistent with other experiments. As for its corresponding classical image, it may not be the same as the planetary rotation we think. In the microscopic field, we can only rely on mathematics and experimental data to grasp , since it is not necessarily rotation, then this speed probably does not carry signal and energy, which is similar to the wave speed of electrons in Dieppe’s paper, which does not violate the theory of relativity.” Lucien said roughly but not accurately enough, “You can Submit to the Arcane Review Committee."

"However, you may encounter many doubts in the future. I suggest that you use matrix mechanics to deal with the spin problem first, and see what you gain. I will also carry out work in this area."

"Yes, teacher." After getting the affirmation, Annick's confidence was a little more sufficient, and Sprint was relieved. Even if the teacher disagreed, he was ready to submit the paper.

After solving their problems, Lucien looked at Heidi: "How about it, what breakthroughs have you made?"

Heidi suddenly felt a little coy: "It's not too much of a breakthrough. When we analyzed the auxiliary calculation array, we found that the reason why they can help calculations is that the calculation results of different functions are stored in advance, and after we give the information , find out the answer through comparison, or perform simple calculations between the answers... This is actually the conclusion we came to after reading the relevant papers, but we went a step further and gave each step of the specific process... "

"There are many functions, and the calculation results are even closer to infinite. It seems that the auxiliary calculation array can only play a role in routine problems. Well, do you have any ideas for improving it? Let it be true for most problems This kind of process: we give data and orders, and then get the results quickly, and it is possible to popularize it to magic apprentices." Lucien asked seriously.

Heidi was a little confused and said: "To solve most of the problems, you need to store more functions and more calculation results, which can only make the magic circle more demanding and more expensive, just like the one we use with you, teacher. The auxiliary magic circle is different, which is completely opposite to the direction of popularization."

Cherie also nodded, which seemed to be developments in two different directions.

"So what I'm talking about is thinking. Have you noticed that the principle of the auxiliary calculation circle is not the same as our normal thinking and calculation logic order? Have you ever thought about rebuilding the auxiliary calculation circle according to this process? Then use alchemy materials And circuit design to replace most of the functions?" Lucien stimulated their thinking.

The portability and diversification of auxiliary terminals for magic is one of Lucien's development goals in this direction.

Haha, I am a good squid who keeps his word, and I will send it in two more, please ask for a monthly ticket~
