Act 336. Curiosity killed the cat

Leo. Sophilan had just passed the Five Rings exam this year and was promoted to a mid-level mage, and his teacher was none other than Clark. Holland, the genius who worked with others at a young age to come up with the Newington-Holland equation to describe the electromagnetic field, was honestly a teacher, but Holland was even younger than Leo, which made him a little embarrassed.

However, Leo did not feel dissatisfied because of this, it was already extremely difficult to study under a high-level mage, let alone this kind of current hot talent, he had worked hard in the past two years, and did his best to complete all the things the teacher ordered, and did not dare to slack off.

Unlike the old-school high-level mages, who advocated elite education and rarely taught students, Holland, who graduated from the Rainbow Tower's high-level magic academy, preferred a popular education, which allowed Leo to enter the institute, where there were many students like him in Newington.

Today, Leo walks the hallways of the institute, and his daily job is to help Holland organize the materials and present some important documents.

He politely greeted all the mages he met, whether they were higher or lower than him, and when he came to the office at the staircase on the third floor, the clerk on duty stopped Leo.

"Mr. Sophilan, this is a document forwarded by the High Council to His Excellency Holland, please bring it with you."

Leo was about to go to the teacher's office for daily work at this time, so he did not refuse the request of the attendant, and took the document with a slight smile.

"Thank you."

As he walked, he glanced at the envelope.

"Dissertation review...... Wait, extremely important? ”

Leo frowned, it can be marked as an extremely important paper, at least an article where a high-level mage has a major breakthrough in a certain field, even if it was last time, that particle said that the pillar of Ludwig. Stein's blackbody radiation paper is not marked as extremely important, let alone how important can this paper be in this envelope, which seems to have only one piece of paper in it, and can be described on a piece of paper?

Yes, Leo, as a member of the Newington Institute, is a staunch supporter of the wave theory, and he is firmly opposed to Stein's blackbody radiation thesis and the energy discontinuity theory, which he cannot accept.

Although even his teacher Holland often warned Leo that everything should not be seen too absolutely, and that the mage should always maintain a skeptical attitude, even if it is an established theory, it may be overturned, so that he should not be too obsessed with the wave-particle dispute, but Leo still believes in the wave theory and resists the particle theory.

Thinking about it, Leo came to the door of Holland's office, knocked on the door, and after getting permission, pushed the door and walked into the office.

His Excellency Holland has been living in the research institute for the past few days, and although Stein's energy discontinuity theory has been resisted by most of the high-level mages, in the base camp of the wave theory, this paper has received unexpected attention and is incomprehensible to Leo.

Not to mention that the previous experiment of aether drifting directly shook the foundation of the Newington-Holland equation, and the two masters of their institute were busy repairing the problems exposed in it, and since the beginning of winter, the institute has not only become deserted, but has become more and more busy.

"Put the papers aside, you can go back first, thank you, Leo."

Behind the desk, the young and handsome Clark. Holland looked up from the scroll and said, he had dark brown curly hair, wore a pair of glasses, and countless papers and quills flew around him, Holland was multitasking, which was also the norm for high-level mages.

"Teacher, here is a letter from the high-level council, marked with a thesis review, and the remarks are extremely important."

Leo put the other papers on the table next to him and handed the letter to his teacher.

"Extremely important?"

After a moment's hesitation, Holland took the envelope, opened it, and took out a piece of parchment from it.

Sure enough, there was only a piece of paper, Leo thought, and he watched his teacher read it carefully, and when he got up, his expression gradually became solemn.

Holland had spent longer reading the paper than reading a hundred-page treatise, and Leo waited in curiosity, secretly observing the expression on his teacher's face.

It was about forty minutes before Holland put down the piece of parchment and breathed a sigh of relief.

“…… I have to admit that this is probably the best paper I've ever read, even if the conclusions frighten me. ”

He said as a bleak autumn wind blew right outside the window, blowing the paper to the ground.

Leo hurriedly picked up the paper, glanced at it subconsciously, and for a moment, he stood in place as if he had been struck by lightning.

The paper was not so long that Leo quickly read the content and saw the final conclusion.

"Light ...... Is it a particle? ”

The author of the paper is Reiner. Ian Gray, Leo's familiar name, his papers are always accompanied by a change in some field, he seems to have been sent by God to turn the world upside down, so when he saw the author of the paper, Leo already tacitly assumed that the content was correct.

But what's in this paper?

The theory of energy discontinuity is valid, and the photoelectric effect reflects that light is a particle, and all of this is concise and clear, and any mid-level mage who has been exposed to both theories can quickly understand it.

Buzz –

Leo felt his brain go blank.

"Wait, Leo, don't you look at ......"

Holland was still immersed in thought just now, and he didn't react for a moment, but when he stood up, a frenzied magic was already surging in front of him.

"Cognitive collapse?"

Holland saw the veins bulging all over his student's body, and the unstable magic power was gathering in them, looking for a breakthrough, Holland hurriedly got up and pressed his hand on Leo's head.

Majestic magic poured into Leo's body, and these magic forces constantly contended with his own magic, trying to suppress the manic disordered magic that wanted to destroy everything.

Holland's side, a series of rays of light formed a complex magic circle, and at the same time, on Leo's wrists and ankles, similar magic circles appeared at the same time, Leo's skin seemed to be thousands of worms rushing, which was terrifying.

But soon, all this chaos came to an abrupt end, and as the circle around Holland dimmed, Leo's eyes closed slightly, and he lost his strength and collapsed, being held by Holland's mage's hand.

Looking at Leo, who was in a coma, Holland glanced at the paper on the ground again.

"Reiner. Ian Gray, is he really going to change the world? ”
