52 Arcane and Science

Once upon a time, science and magic were one, and at that time, magicians called him Arcane.

Once upon a time, the most brilliant arcanists must have been the most brilliant magicians, and the greatest magicians must have left their names on the arcane, the brightest jewel in the crown of magic.

In those days, physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology and even philosophy were at the service of magic.

Physics-savvy magicians can construct mechanical models in their spells and send giants into the sky with just one unit of energy.

And the elemental mages who master chemistry can release fireball techniques that are ten, hundred, or even a thousand times more powerful than ordinary mages.

Alchemy, which is also a branch of chemistry, has realized the transformation of material properties, refining gold, longevity medicine, and artificial people, all of which were the glory of that era.

As for biology, one of his two major branches is anatomy, from which the necromancer's stitch monster developed; The other is summoning magic based on the study of the structure of plants and animals.

Mathematics and philosophy provide the basis and theoretical basis for all of this.

In those days, scientists used arcane arts to become gods, but they were more than inferior to the ancient philosophers.

Can you think about it?

Four thousand years ago, philosophers among magicians could ascend by day as long as they understood the truth.

Plato, Aristotle in the West, Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni in the East are all representatives of this kind.

However, at some point, the power base of magic and the conditions for becoming a god have changed radically.

First of all, 3,000 years ago, the path to godhood changed from philosophy to natural science.

Primitive druid magic, nature magic, slowly began to transform into elemental magic.

The immediate consequence of this is that the entry limit for power is lowered.

The magical power that could only be stimulated by bloodline inheritance began to appear in children born in ordinary families.

The use of magic is no longer monopolized by a few people, and as long as you have magic power, you can learn to activate your own power.

However, although the number of magicians increased, it remained low relative to the human population as a whole until the 17th century AD.

Around the 17th century, after millennia of research, elemental magic had reached its zenith, and the Arcanists had opened the cracks in the Door of Truth.

Atomism, genetic material, things that Muggles discovered many years later, were noticed by the Arcanists hundreds of years ago.

But Muggles never knew anything about this qiē

, they are still alive in the mud, the truth in the hands of the Arcanists.

The occasional tip of the iceberg that flows from a wizard's knowledge base is enough for a Muggle to spend a lifetime to understand.

But on the path to power, there is one most important thing that prevents Muggles from gaining arcane power. Even if he understood, it wouldn't work.

That is magic, and once upon a time, magic was a prerequisite for the use of arcane arts, a prerequisite for learning it.

If a piece of knowledge cannot be practiced all the time, it cannot become one's own strength.

But one day, suddenly, Muggles were able to use arcane principles.

Without chanting incantations, Muggles were given a fulcrum and a crowbar, and they could pry a hundredfold heavier.

Instead of expensive magic materials, mixing charcoal with saltpeter can cause a huge explosion that can surpass even the magic of ordinary wizards.

Arcane is no longer the preserve of magicians, and magic is no longer a prerequisite for learning it. Thus the door of power is opened to all of humanity.

The wizards were unable to explain this phenomenon, as if the Muggles had worked hard to find an arcane path that could be reached without guò magic.

This explanation became a "fact" accepted by most wizards. And it was from that time that the status of arcane in the minds of wizards quietly changed.

After that, wizards and Muggles worked together on the arcane, but gradually the direction of their research diverted, and the balance of power between the two sides reversed.

Due to the sparse wizarding population and the large Muggle base, Muggle research is more likely to form a numerical advantage in the arcane field.

And soon the latest Muggle research results disproved many of the old theories of wizards.

This caused a lot of displeasure among wizards, and it was true that many of the principles were a joke from a Muggle point of view.

But in the eyes of wizards, magic can support the correctness of these theories.

However, under the will of the "majority", the voices of the minority are always too small to be heard.

It is true that a sorcerer can manipulate the will of some people through guò magic to get them to agree with what they say.

But so what? They can't manipulate all Muggles, and the best outcome is just endless bickering.

After this, many wizards, out of a self-esteem and a dislike of studying arcane arts with Muggles, shared power and knowledge, turned to more pure magic.

"Arcane has fallen and been tainted by Muggles, why should I study the same thing as Muggles? And denied by them? This affection gradually spread in the hearts of all wizards, so much so that they completely lost their arcane position to the Muggles.

Of course, there are those who insist on studying the arcane, but there are very few. Because later, many cutting-edge theories could not be understood even by wizards.

From then on, arcane and magic were officially separated and renamed science, becoming a force for Muggles to change the world and compete with wizarding magic.

Later, most wizards got used to the idea that magic is wizards' and science is Muggle's. It's as if this was a matter of course.

They even subconsciously forget what they have done in the arcane.

So when the law changes again, when the atom is no longer the smallest indivisible unit of the material world, even when the proton neutron is no longer there.

The wizard, who had long since retired from the arcane stage, did not have much surprise and attention.

Even if this actually means another change in the law, it means that God has changed the world again, or even the fall of an old god and the rise of a new god.

However, only a handful of people noticed the anomaly. Tabasha, who spends most of his time hiding in Toristine and occasionally comes to search for the whereabouts of talented people, is one of them.

Of course, she didn't tell Sù Seamus all the truth, she only said what was good for herself and Louise.

The naïve Seamus certainly didn't notice this, or he did, but he didn't think much of it against Louise.

Because of some words, in order to gain Seamus's trust in the future actions, Tabasha wants Louise to sue Sù Seamus, not "her".
