When it comes to the Great Library, you think of scholars, and the person who can be called a scholar in this castle is of course Veron Eislive.

The young man was still dressed in his tattered gray robe, his staff leaning against the wall, several scrolls floating beside him, while Veron himself was reading with relish in his thick hardcover book.

As soon as Rosen and the others entered the castle's large library, they saw a brown owl flying in from the windowsill, holding a letter in its talons.

Flying over Velon's head, the owl dropped the letter and smashed it right in the face of Velon, who was immersed in the book.

Smack-

Rosen and the others watched as Veron's movements froze in place, and it wasn't until the letter slowly fell down that he came back to his senses and bent down to pick up the wax-sealed letter.

At this time, Wei Lun saw the three people at the door.

"Good afternoon, little Ain, and these two, it should be Rosen and Tia of the Ulysses family. ”

He greeted politely, not feeling the posture and courage that a sage should have, just like an ordinary young man who loves to read.

Of course, ignore his reddish nose from being hit by the envelope.

"Are you preparing for the evening?"

"No, just to see what this great legendary library looks like. ”

Rosen denied that his impression of Veron was that of a scholar who was obsessed with research, and that it was the first time he had seen him look like a peacemaker before.

Originally, I thought that this kind of people who were bent on pursuing the truth were all wooden and unkind, but now it seems that Wei Lun is the most approachable of these saints.

After all, he was once a prince of a country, and the corresponding people and methods of doing things were probably well-educated.

"It's not the largest library, but it's one of the most valuable in the Empire, and I really want to take a look at it. ”

Velons put away the unopened letter and waved his hand casually, and several scrolls around him floated away.

"Your statement in the morning is indeed noteworthy. ”

To put it mildly, Veron found a chair and sat down, and at his hand, a cup of mellow coffee floated to the long table used for reading.

Isn't everything magical, Rosen noticed that Veron picked up the envelope and read the book by himself before, and it seems that this sage also has a strange habit.

"That monster is very cunning, so we have to be very careful. ”

Rosen originally thought that Velond was talking about gathering the Sages and the people around them at night, but it seemed that Velonn was not dissatisfied.

"No, no, no, I'm talking about the monster, if it exists, what do you think it would be?"

Veron took a sip of coffee, and then beckoned, and an old scroll floated over leisurely, presenting it in front of Lawson and the others.

The text on the scroll was very ancient, but the content was not complicated, and it was supposed to be a summary of the ancient mages' observations of the world.

"Conventional perception methods are almost completely unable to capture the traces of the other party, and only when the other party tries to attack us, it is possible to perceive those micro fluctuations, does such an existence really exist in this world?"

Velen is not questioning Rosen's words, but asking himself.

"In the thousands of years of observation by the ancient mages, they have spied on the truth of the world, which is that our world is not isolated, and that the Elemental Realm and the Sea of Magic, as well as the wider Endless Void, are far closer to our world than we think. ”

With a flick of the air, a curved surface made of thin silver lines appears on the table.

"This is our world, or rather, the main material plane. ”

Veron explained that he was depicting it in a more understandable way, when in fact the world was much more complex.

"And these ...... It's the other planes. ”

With a stroke of his finger, several similar surfaces appeared around the original one, using different colors to distinguish them.

"In the past, the ancient mages believed that the world was spherical, and that the different planes were actually separate planets in the Endless Void. ”

The surface folded and turned into several planets, orbiting in mid-air. Between the planets, there are constantly points of light passing and shuttling in them, which looks quite sci-fi.

"This is a model of the world in ancient times, and the mages believed that the journey through the Endless Void to another planet required a huge amount of energy, so unless it was a fairly powerful creature, it would only get lost in the turbulence of the Endless Void. ”

But there was a loophole in this idea, and Veron said immediately.

"In history, it is not only powerful beings like the People of Chaos who can cross the Endless Void to reach the main material plane, the Elemental Realm often has lost elemental creatures coming here, many of them only have the strength of bronze or even black iron, and they are by no means able to easily cross the Endless Void. ”

With a wave of his hand, the planet dissipated, turning into countless stardust, gradually condensing into several curved surfaces that were originally tightly clinging.

"So, I think, that's how our world should be. ”

"Overlapping worlds?"

Tia asked, this theory should actually be one of the basic theories of modern magic, but she didn't expect that Veren had already proposed it a thousand years ago.

"Yes, have you ever thought about what the nature of magic is? Of course, magic is actually a kind of energy, which is clear to everyone, but why this energy is generated, this is completely inconsistent with the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy. ”

Velen seemed to be talking about his point, a little bright.

"In the world model I constructed, the world originally had eleven parallel planes, but for unknown reasons, several of them curled up, making the whole world uneven, and at the same time, the remaining planes that had not yet curled up overlapped together, becoming the main material plane, the elemental realm, and the chaotic abyss that we are familiar with, and the so-called sea of magic is actually the several planes that have curled up, and our magic power is the condensation of the abilities of these planes. ”

"This theory does sound novel and convincing, but what does it have to do with that monster?"

Ain didn't know much about the theory of magic, and she still studied swordsmanship with Graysius, so she didn't understand what Velond said, although she was not confused.

"Of course, it does, as I said, all the planes are actually overlapping, so that monster may not exist in the main material plane, but in several planes adjacent to it. ”

Veron said, snapping his fingers, and all the images disappeared.
