Chapter 3 The Curvature of the World
Winnesa disappeared for seven days, and Sean did the experiment for seven days. Continuously and intensively studying spells made him feel a little tired, not physically, but mentally.
"It is no wonder that since time immemorial, many outstanding mages have been proficient in only one or two schools. Maybe I should go out and take a look. Shane decided to relax.
In the morning, he sent all the fish-man slaves out on patrol and showed them what it meant to grill fish with fireballs. The unlucky corpse was fed to the kobold for breakfast.
Coming out of the nursery and heading east through the forest road, you will see the lighthouse, the landmark building of Yangfan Harbor. In fact, the real identity of this building is the Mage Tower, and the inextinguishable light on the top of the tower is just a by-product of an experiment of the ** master.
Shane didn't enter Yangfan Harbor, and turned around the bend and headed south, entering the forest avenue that connected to Silvermoon City. There is a special tranquility in the woods on both sides, and occasionally you can see mana swimming dragons disappearing from time to time. He sat down under a tree, opened the book and began to read.
"Hey~ it turns out that you also like the quiet woods".
Shane looked up and saw Winresa sitting on top of him, but the scenery under her skirt was well protected.
"You've been following me." Sean closed the book, this time completely less surprised than the previous two times.
"Have you cultivated the spells of the prophecy system?"
"No, I'm majoring in spells, minoring in protection and plasticity."
"That's the intuition" Wen Lesa rolled over and landed next to Shane, bent over, her face close to Shane and looked up and down Shane, her ears fluttering slightly at a regular pace.
"It's a pity that I'm wrong, I'm not just following you, I've been watching you since you were experimenting day and night seven days ago. The day before yesterday, you accidentally spilled the ink, and that expression is funny when you think about it now, hee-hee. ”
What was going on, Sean thought hard, he had never known that Winresa had such a fetish.
"Rest assured, rest assured, I don't have that fetish" Wen Lesa noticed Sean's expression, "This is just a Ranger test, a test of environmental stealth and tracking. ”
"And what about the result?" Shane asked
"Of course it passed, otherwise it ・・・・・・"
"Otherwise, how could the eldest lady show up," Shane received
"Angry?"
"Not at all," Shane said firmly.
"That's angry, the man of the Dawnblade is really stingy." Wen Leisha made an angry look, but it quickly turned into a smiling expression, "I'm sorry, I peeked at you for seven days, you are a man, just forgive me as a woman with a big belly." ”
"Hmph"
"As an atonement, I'll share a secret with you.
When she said this, Shane took advantage of the situation and said that he forgave her.
Winnesa then takes Shaun deeper into the woods, and her secret will not be shared with Shaun until somewhere. As a ranger, Winnesa leaps from branch to branch, flying from tree to tree like a bird.
Shane didn't have that fast movement, he cast a spell to anoint the soles of his feet, and he barely kept up, and Winetha would stop every other way to wait for him.
When the sun was slightly wester, the place finally arrived, and it was a very large tree, so big that there was no one of its kind for more than 100 meters around it. The canopy of the trees acts like an umbrella, obscuring the sky.
Wen Leisha jumped a few times and disappeared into the leaves. Not long after that, a rope hung down from the tree. Shane grabbed the rope and unleashed a flotation spell on himself to be pulled up the canopy.
"Look, this is my secret base," Wen Leisa smirked.
The secret base is a small wooden hut with a blue sea and the horizon about a kilometer from the woods in the direction of the door.
"It's a great place," Shane said.
"yes, yes, I found this place when I was a child, and I used to come to this place when I had a fight with my sister. I was at that time, but now I think about it and feel very sorry for my eldest sister. ”
Shane didn't disturb Wen Leisa, who was in a state of nostalgia, and sat with her at the door of the wooden house, watching the sea. Winnesa didn't speak, and he wouldn't speak. Time passed drop by drop, and the sun gradually set over the horizon.
"Thank you for keeping you with me for so long," the last rays of sunlight faded before Wen Leisha said.
Sean smiled and nodded, not expecting her to be so sensual in her liveliness.
"Women are sensual," Wen Leisa said suddenly, and Sean was startled by her sudden words.
"Intuition, intuition, I don't know why, my intuition came to me when I saw your face."
In the evening, the two spent the night in the cabin, Shane's magic lamp and heat preservation, Wen Leisha found food, and the night turned into a night of talking, most of which Wen Leisha said, and Shane was listening. Things are almost the story of Winresa and her two older sisters.
Also included in this stalking, where Wen Resa asks her sister why she was discovered by the mage. Aurelia taught her how to crack the alarm barrier and how to approach a mage. Sean became her experiment. Winnesa was proud that Shane hadn't noticed her.
At sunrise in the morning, a new day dawned, and Sean and Winnesa parted on the fork in the road to Silvermoon City, and Winresa sneaked through the forest and walked home as if afraid of meeting acquaintances.
And Shane returned home and continued to practice spells. Although he was very happy with Wenlesa, Sean was also a mage, and it didn't prevent him from remembering some interesting things while playing.
With enough time, and a better location, he could calculate the curvature of the slightly curved horizon, for example, and the volume and area of the world. After a long period of observation, it is not impossible to make a celestial model of the Azeroth system.
It's a fun thing!
When I think about my previous life, I only knew that there were a few landmasses in this world, but the macro world was always unclear. It feels really fun to take the opportunity to figure it out.
The tower of Silvermoon City is a good location, but unfortunately it belongs to the ** masters. Shaun, who was further down the mage food chain, had to find another way.
"We can't go to the tower, we go to the mountains near the sea." This is what Wen Leisha said.
When she visited, Shane told her to go to a place where she could see the distant horizon curve, and Winetha patted her chest and said she could fix it.
So Shane took a magic bag full of tools and went on another outing with Winresa.
"But you run out every day, don't you practice magic?" On the way, the topic of Winlessa did not stop.
"I can walk and practice at the same time" Shane held out his right hand, on which three orbs appeared, spinning around the same center of the circle. "Look, the results of my contact."
Wen Resa looked at Shane's hand and then at Shane's face, "You're better than the mages I know in some ways. ”
When Shane heard this, he remembered the adage of his mentor: Mages have ranks, but don't underestimate any mage because of their rank.
"Well, as long as you don't blow yourself up," Wen Lessa said finally.
Walk continuously, although concentration has decreased, spells are much more difficult to control than usual. However, in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the orb, the concentration has been fully exercised. Sometimes Sean wondered if he could make three orbs or even more circulate around his body or overhead.
It took a day to finally arrive at the place Wen Leisa said. It was a high cliff towering over the sea, and the horizon could be seen slightly curved.
The function coordinate table has been prepared for a long time, with the sea-sky junction curve as the background and the coordinate table as the canvas. Sean used an unpopular spell: Reflection. Print the background directly on the coordinate table, and trace the curve of the planet.
Wen Leisha was so curious that she watched the whole process one by one, but she held back and didn't speak.
"Just ask, if there's anything," Shane finished her work, seeing that she couldn't help it.
"What are you doing?"
"It's calculating how big the world is."
"How big is the world?" Wen Leisa couldn't understand.
"That means you can figure out how big a sphere our world is."
"Spheres?"
Well, the macro geography of this world is not covered in the Ranger's lesson, and Shane patiently explains to her that the world is round, as well as the theory of gravity.
"In other words, you can calculate how big a ball Azeroth is by relying on this arc?" Wen Leisa almost pressed her face against the canvas, not noticing that the neckline was working on the gravitational pull.
"Ahem~~ It's not enough to rely on this arc alone, if you can have two small islands on the sea surface as coordinates, then you can calculate it"
"Shane is amazing, I don't understand it, but I think it's funny. I know where I can see two islands, come with me. ”
Wen Leisa, an elf with extraordinary mobility, dragged Shane to move around the coastline for half a month, almost including food and accommodation, and she refused to help Shane, only said: Hurry up and complete the project, and teach me the rest.
Half a month later, the two returned to Shane's nursery, and all the tasks were completed after they were summarized on a piece of paper.
"I never thought the world would be like this, compared to the outside world, Quelcera is just a small place" Wen Lisa accompanied Shane to finish the final work, holding up the conclusion dossier and turning around three times.
Shane could understand her feelings, after all, these were the common gains of the two of them.
"Next, I'll send the results to my mentor, maybe we're going to be famous."
"I'm so good to be able to help Shane."
"Thank you, Wen Leisa" Shane snapped his fingers, silver lace appeared around the file, and the names of two men appeared in the lower right corner; Shane - Dawnblade, Winresa - Windranger.
One Ring Spell: A magic signature, which cannot be changed once the file appears.
Winnesa was startled at first, then gently stroked Shane and her own name; "Is this really good? I'm a ranger! ”
"There's nothing bad about it, it's a joint effort between the two of us."
"Always saying strange things." Wen Lesa.
