Throne of Magical Arcana

The wind is cool but the air is refreshing, the sky is high and the clouds are broad, this is the scene of the golden moon in Allinge.

"So, I like October in Allinge the most..." Tang Pu, a member of the affairs committee, held his own black tea cup and stood by the French window, looking at the scenery outside.

While sighing, he turned around, pushed the gold-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said to his student Cong Deng, "Just knocked on the door and came in by yourself. Are you in a hurry?"

Tang Pu is easy-going, friendly to friends, students, and subordinates, and doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, so he doesn't blame Cong Deng for his rash behavior.

While speaking, he closed the task report on the desk. This is the rule of the affairs committee, and people who should not see it, even his own students, cannot see it.

This mission report was the one submitted by Katrina. Since the "causes and consequences" of the "demon worship incident" were clearly investigated by her, this report was not taken seriously in the mission area. After looking through it casually, the teacher thought that the matter was true, and decided that Katrina's mission was completed, and the report was naturally included in the archives.

But Tang Pu himself took this "demon worship event" very seriously, because it is related to a series of summoning ancient devils and beliefs in the Duke of Devils in Rentat, Kukes, Channel Four and the Northland coastal corridor in recent years. Events such as these have a certain degree of similarity, but they are fundamentally different.

So, after he was busy with the affairs at hand, he called out this report, and prepared to conduct detailed analysis and comparison to see if there were really demon kings who had begun to develop the power of faith, or had other purposes, and the most important thing was The most important thing is that he wanted to figure out whether this incident was independent, or whether it was complementary to a series of incidents that took place within the rule of the Magic Council, so as to find the "death bird" behind the scenes.

It is a pity that all that can be seen from this report is the fact that a great knight was enhanced by the worship of demons.

"However, some details here are too coincidental, but the person involved is completely dead, and after such a long time, it is basically impossible to continue the investigation. Can I still go to the abyss to ask the 'Dark Lord', worshiped by Viscount Andre Is it you? Or catch the 'Death Storm' Niniel, and let him tell the truth what he is looking for in accepting Viscount Andre as a student?" Tang Pu covered the report with his right hand, and tapped his index finger lightly.

Condon opposite him was a tall, young man with sunken cheeks, his skin was "burned" into a dark red color as if he had been exposed to too much sunlight, and he was wearing a stylish monocle 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 impatient but honest character very well, and asked in doubt: "The door opened by itself, and I didn't close it?"

"I don't know, uh, I met Alfreds in the corridor, and his expression seemed very satisfied..." Condon suddenly remembered something.

Tang Pu gritted his teeth in distress: "...Leave it alone, what's the matter?"

He made a bet with Aferris some time ago, thinking that he who is close to the ninth ring is unlikely to be deceived by Aferris' illusion, especially in the Allinge magic tower, so if Aferris can Without the help of others to take anything from my office, I have to open the treasure house and let it pick a lot of gems. Now it seems... But this is good, and I can relax my vigilance.

"Teacher, Your Excellency Evans submitted a paper called "Determinism, Self-awareness, and the Roots of Magic", which constructed a model of the nature of magic, although there are still many unresolved issues, such as why magic patterns can help communicate the 'real world' ', what exactly does it hide, but it also opens a new door for us to study the nature of magic and supernatural power... Today, when someone stumbled across this paper in the Arcane Library, it caused an immediate sensation... ..."

Cong Deng seemed a little excited, coupled with his impatience, a series of words were like a storm blowing by, and Tang Pu could hardly 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.

After receiving the paper borrowed by Congdon, Tang Pu glanced at the date, surprised and relieved: "Submitted three days ago? No wonder it wasn't published in "Arcane" or "Magic"..."

Generally speaking, as long as a great arcanist's paper has a certain value, journals will not reject it, and will rush to ask for it, but Lucien basically only publishes on "Arcane", "Nature" and "Element". Occasionally, I will write a draft for "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly", so "Arcane" will definitely not let go of such an important paper, and since it is about the nature of magic, "Magic" journal will obviously not allow others to publish it.

He continued to read, frowning slightly at the previous part, determinism seems to be precarious!

However, following Lucien's discussion, his brows were completely stretched, he pushed the gold-rimmed glasses from time to time, and said in a low voice: "The observer effect is not completely absurd...The material foundation is not 'firm', this This statement is very novel, but if this is the case, why is everything so normal without magic and extraordinary power? Could it still be attributed to the mysterious stage of transition from the micro level to the macro level... Hey, Lucien is right. There are also considerations in this regard...weak observers and strong observers..."

He was completely immersed in this paper. Even though this paper has not been confirmed by any experiments and phenomena, the "observer effect" has been rejected by the mainstream of the parliament, but it is logically self-consistent, and it seems that there is such a thing.

Condon was not surprised by the teacher's reaction. He picked up the quill pen on the table and recorded some questions and opinions of the teacher on the scratch paper.

"...The energy to replenish 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 doubt, turned around quickly, and pulled out this issue from the bookshelf "Elements", and then he held his gold-rimmed eyes, and said in a rather shocking tone, "Isn't this the problem that the 'Negative Energy State Vacuum Sea' can solve?"

"Yes, the arcanists who saw this paper couldn't help thinking of the 'Negative Energy State Vacuum Sea', which just solved the most fundamental problems in Your Excellency Evans' paper on the essence of magic!" Kang Deng's ears were sharp, and he heard the teacher's self-talk, and said excitedly, "One after the other, one is dedicated to the source of magic energy, and the other gives a guess about the nature of magic, which together constitute 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 existence of magic. No, it should be the model of all extraordinary powers." Tang Pu was also tinged with excitement.

In the history of magic, the earliest magicians have already questioned what the essence of magic is, and put forward their own ideas, such as the four elemental systems of earth, fire, feng shui - the ancient magicians constructed a conjecture about the bottom of the world, It is believed that there is an energy plane composed purely of the same element, and named it the country of the fire element, the ocean of the water element, etc., such as the root system-they believe that there is a root of magic, which is a real part of the world...

These magic paintings are still affecting generations of magicians until today. Nouns such as fire elements are a proof, but the ancient magicians did not explore the world enough. The magic paintings are all based on imagination, without any theoretical basis, and belong to fantasy. A layer, not a model in the arcane definition.

In the heyday of the ancient magic empire, magicians paid more attention to normal research and application, and no one thought about the illusory nature of magic. Anyway, knowing that spiritual power is the condition for casting magic is enough, so even if it is as great as the sun king Thanos , and no model of the nature of magic has been proposed.

Since the establishment of the Magic Council, the essence of magic has been researched, but due to the lack of other theories, the progress of this research is very slow, so the rigorous Douglas and others did not rush to put forward their own model of the essence of magic, lest the fantasy-colored ideas affect other people. Arcanist.

Until today, Tangpu has really seen a model that describes magic from the essence and root, and it is based on the most cutting-edge achievements in the current microscopic field!

Regardless of whether this model is correct or not, it has sufficient historical significance... Tang Pu was suddenly in a trance, witnessing history once again, which seems to have happened frequently in the past ten years or so.

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 essence of magic!"

After the two discussed for a while, Congdon offered to leave, saying that he would go back and study it carefully.

Watching him fold the draft paper and carefully put it into the storage bag, Tang Pu was a little amused, and then watched him walk towards the door.

Suddenly, Tang Pu came to his senses and said loudly, "Stop!"

But at this time, Congdon had already entered the corridor!

He turned around abruptly, and a layer of white mist rose around him. After the white mist subsided, he turned into a small crystal dragon with beautiful scales.

It dragged out a large ice cream from under its belly, stretched out its tongue, licked it with great satisfaction, and said in a childish and proud voice: "Tangpu, you lost!"

Come here when you are thinking about the problem, distract yourself by finding the door open and passing by "Avris", and indulge yourself with the paper, the character performance is exactly the same as Condon, just take away the draft paper recording the discussion content ...Recalling these, 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 Alfres leave with an ugly expression, Tang Pu couldn't help but continue to study the content of Lucien's thesis: "...weak observers...strong observers..."

He suddenly froze. Thinking of the recent investigation, he faintly said with a little fear: "Amassing the power of faith appears to be the convergence of special electromagnetic waves, but it is actually the aggregation of weak observers, evolving towards strong observers?"

"this……"

What would those strong people who are good at "playing" with the power of faith think of this paper?
