"And what's the difference between heretical and orthodox Letin magic?"

Yan He asked the next question. To this question www.biquge.info Shata frowned slightly, organized the language for a while, and then gave an answer.

"The fundamental difference between heretical and orthodox Leiding magic is in the mind."

"Thoughts?" Yan He couldn't understand the answer.

"I don't know how to explain it...... "I heard my father say that before the Cataclysm, the word 'heretic' was only used in the context of ideas, and there was no such thing as 'heretical Letin magic' or 'heretical Letin magic'. After the Cataclysm, some of the Letin magic suddenly disappeared, and no one could use it. Father said that some of the Letin magicians wanted to find a way to use the Letin magic, and started researching, and then the heretical Letin magic and the heretical Letin magician appeared. ”

"You mean to say that they succeeded, and then they were designated heretics by the Leiding Wizards Guild?"

"No, they didn't succeed, and even now, those Letin magic still can't be used."

"Then why are they condemned heretics?"

"Because their minds have changed." Shata smiled bitterly, "They don't know how to increase the strength of Leitin's magic, and then they began to deny the research results of the Leiding Magicians Association, and changed the definitions of Leitin's magic without authorization, saying that a new era has arrived, and the old things will be eliminated." ”

"Uh...... I don't quite understand what you Leyting people think, isn't it good to be stronger? ”

"But they are heretics." Shata spread her hands helplessly, "I haven't seen heretical Letin magic, and I don't know heretical Lighting magicians. The Leiding Wizards Guild says that heretical Leiding magic is harmful, and I don't think they need to lie to me. And I think that only hard work will bring gains, and to become stronger by unconventional means must pay a certain amount of sacrifice, maybe it is really harmful to others and to yourself. ”

There are two heretical Letin mages around you, and one of them is fighting with heretical Lighting magic.

Yan He pursed his lips, but did not say this. There is no logical problem with Shata's idea, but the reality is that heretical Letin magic has no side effects, and the heretical Letin magicians are simply adapting to the rules of the new world.

"But what I can't accept the most is the heretical idea of Leting's magic." Shata continued, "How is it possible that those heretical Letin magicians say that 'the element of magic does not exist'? If there is no magic element, what is it that we feel? Since it is felt, it must exist. ”

In fact, the original words of the heretical Ryding magicians were "Magical elements are conceptual substances, they do not exist in reality, at least in the reality of the new world", but when the words reached Shata's ears, they became "Magical elements do not exist".

In the aftermath of the cataclysm, experiments were conducted. The experiment was very interesting, he took ten Leiding magicians, led them into a closed room, and asked them to do their best to attract the magical elements to him.

But something miraculous happened, and no matter how hard the people involved in the experiment tried, there were still remnants of magical elements in the room. The person who initiated the experiment terminated the experiment and then asked the participants to try again, one by one, and each of them did just that.

At first, it was believed that the remaining magical elements were not gathered around people because they were contested by many people. To test this hypothesis, these people conducted repeated experiments.

To everyone's surprise, the results of the experiments varied. When some people get together to attract magical elements, there are no magical elements left in the room, while others do the opposite. After careful research, we found an interesting pattern, that is, the more two people get together, the less magical elements remain during meditation, and vice versa.

In their experiments, they also made an even more surprising discovery, that is, in some experiments, the number of remaining magical elements felt by the participants and bystanders was different, and their presence was also different. So these people conducted many experiments, and found that the number of remaining magical elements felt by each person under the same conditions was fixed, and the direction of their existence was also fixed.

This means that some people can feel the magical element, others can't. Previously, the Ryding mages believed that the magical element was common, and that everyone felt the same magical element, but the results of the experiment had clearly disproved this statement.

After that, they went on to the next experiment. They still had people meditate in a fixed room, except that they replaced the statistics with all the magical elements that were drawn to them. The number of magical elements gathered around people is huge, and counting their numbers is a very tiring task, because they have only one way to count them, and that is to count them every time they are connected. But in the spirit of truth-seeking, the experimenters still completed the task. In order to prevent someone from misremembering the count, these people also conducted several experiments.

The results of the statistics are encouraging - excluding the erroneous data, a single person can get the same value in multiple experiments, but all the people involved in the experiment have not been able to come up with the same value. There is no doubt that the value of the magical elements drawn to them is fixed regardless of whether several people are sitting together meditating, and if the old theory is correct, then these people should get the same number.

These people felt that the elements of magic should be divided into "public parts" and "private parts", but they could not think of suitable experiments to verify this. The special nature of the magical elements makes them not subject to physical conditions, and these people choose to conduct experiments in a fixed room, mainly for the convenience of statistics, not to say that the walls can stop the magical elements.

As a result, orthodox Lighting magicians have only accepted the notion that "different people may perceive different magical elements", and have not accepted the assertion that magical elements are divided into two parts: public and private.

The idea that magical elements do not exist in reality is derived from the statement that "magical elements are divided into two parts: public and private". According to this argument, the numerical error in the second experiment is clearly due to the private part (since the common part is the same). So the question is, what exists in my opinion, but it doesn't exist in your opinion, so does it exist or not?

"Being" and "feeling" are two very different concepts. The former is an objective fact, while the latter is a subjective cognition. It would be silly to replace this sentence with "I can feel something but you can't, then it exists."

Since the magical elements counted in the second experiment are all magical elements that are gathered around people and can also be used to construct magical structures, they are clearly "present" rather than just "felt". If it's something that exists, why can't anyone else perceive it?

In order to prove the claims of the heretical Leiting Magi false, the orthodox Leiding Magi came up with a hypothesis that there was a "wall" in the world that could block the magical elements. He did an experiment with a wooden plank, a table, and a melon. Place the plank in the middle of the table, place the melon on one side of the table, and have two people stand on either side of the table. In this way, one of them does not see the melon and does not know that the melon exists, but the melon does.

But soon there was an objection to the experiment, saying that if the "wall" could block the occlusion element, why could the magic element still move? Orthodox Leiding magicians then explained that the "wall" could only block people's perception of the elements of magic, and would not hinder their movement.

In order to make their statement sound more plausible, they replaced the "wall" with "membrane". Orthodox Leting magicians believe that all magical elements have membranes, and some membranes have special structures that interfere with human cognition, so there are some people who cannot feel some magical elements, but can perceive other magical elements.

This statement is accepted by everyone, because it can explain in passing that people who don't have the talent for Leyting's magic can't perceive the element of magic. While orthodox Leting magicians took hypotheses as truth and spread them widely, heretical Lighting magicians were still experimenting to see if the magical element existed.

Since the orthodox Leting magicians said that the magic element had a membrane on the outside, the heretical Leting magician began to try to prove the existence of this "membrane", but this was more difficult than proving the existence of the magic element. The heretical Letin magicians thought that the orthodox Lighting magicians could not prove the existence of this "membrane", so why did they spread this unverified information? Is it just because it makes sense logically?

The heretical Letin magicians who refused to admit defeat wanted to know the truth, so they did all the experiments they could think of. And one day, there were two experimental participants who didn't get along, because they had a drink together yesterday, and their relationship suddenly improved. But the two of them didn't know the bottom of their hearts, so they did the experiment of counting the remaining magic elements the next day, wanting to see how much the relationship between the two had improved.

The two of them had done this experiment, and the last time they did it, there were a lot of magic elements left in the room, but this time they were completely gone. The two men were very happy and told the others about it. The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and soon someone noticed a fact that had been overlooked before, that is, the number of magical elements can be changed by subjective will.

In this way, all previous experimental conclusions will be overturned, because these experiments have lost their objectivity. But this result did not discourage the heretic Leiting magicians, but rather gave them a clue.

Can a substance that cannot be seen or touched in reality, that cannot be subjected to any physical intervention, but that can be directly affected by subjective consciousness, really be counted as matter?

The heretical Lytin magicians did not know how to determine, so they could only put forward the term "conceptual matter", which completely denied the existence of magical elements in reality, but did not deny their conceptual existence.

In this way, in terms of the definition of magical elements, the orthodox Leting mage and the heretical Wettin mage appeared to be fundamentally different. The definition of the Magical Element is the foundation of the foundation in Rytin's magic, and since the base definition has changed, the definition derived from the base definition will also change. In this way, the differences between the two sides grew more and more, and finally reached the point of irreconcilability, and then the orthodox Lighting magicians in the majority condemned the minority as heretical.

In order to curb the development of the heretical Letting Magi, the orthodox Leting Mage set the rule that only those who have obtained the diploma of the Academy of Magic are entitled to the title of Wettin Mage, as well as the power of the Wettin Mage. The magic academy of the Letting people is in the hands of the orthodox Leting magician, and for the sake of their own future, people will naturally support the orthodox Leiding magician.

Since orthodox Letin magicians believe in atheism, any Lighting magician who believes in the god of light, or who has other theistic beliefs, will also be considered a heretic. In other words, a person like Maier, who has been educated in heretical Lighting magic since childhood, uses heretical Lighting magic, claims to be a Lighting magician, and believes in the god of light, is a heretic among heretics in the eyes of orthodox Lighting magicians.

Yanhe didn't have much interest in the matter of the heretic Ryting Magician, and Shata didn't want to talk too much about it, so the two quickly changed the subject.

"I just heard you say the 'magic element'...... Does such a thing really exist? ”

"Of course." Shata nodded affirmatively.

"They're in the air?"

"Hmm."

"And how do you use them?"

"We gather the magical elements around us and arrange them in a particular way, and then they will take on different effects."

"Uh...... Are there a lot of magical elements? ”

"A lot."

"Too much for everyone to use together?"

"Theoretically, the magic element is limited, but so far I haven't encountered a situation where the magic element is fully occupied. No matter how many people are present, we can always gather a certain number of magical elements. ”

"Isn't that infinity?"

"Uh...... This one...... But...... Uh......"

Shata didn't know how to answer Yanhe's question. Fortunately, at this time, Stranzy returned, and Yanhe saw that Bifuel was following Stranzie, so he got up and went back to the kitchen.
