Chapter 56: A Short Break
Victor's approach to combat is simple and practical, using area-of-effect spells to bring Templars together, then use control spells to incapacitate them and then kill them.
This group of ordinary Templars had no resistance to the Victor's one-ring spell, "Rainbow Jet", and if the data were to be used to explain it, the Templars' Will Immunity Test would not be able to pass Victor's spells cast with up to 22 intelligence attributes.
In order to reduce the consumption of mental power, several mages did not cast any more spells, but picked up the long swords that the temple warrior had dropped on the ground and pierced the hearts of the enemies one by one.
Victor, who was a little uncomfortable with the pungent smell of blood, frowned, and led the four low-level mages out of the battle site.
"We won?"
"Yes! None of the enemies were able to get close ......"
"Think about the previous battle, if we can work together, we won't have heavy casualties!"
"Mr. Victor, what are we going to do next?"
After the victory in the encounter, the four low-level mages were even more confident in Victor.
"To the Tower of Babel!"
Victor replied somewhat nonchalantly, "As for whether we can break through the blockade of the temple...... Always give it a try. ”
At this moment, a huge roar sounded in the north of the floating city "Skexiti", and Victor and the others could clearly feel the vibration of the ground under their feet, and the smoke and dust rising from the sky were dozens of feet high!
"In that direction? It should be the residence of the Cecil family......"
“…… It seems that at least a few high-level professionals have fallen......"
“……”
Several low-level mages whispered, their expressions either sighing, sighing, or sneering, and their expressions were very rich.
"The Cecil family? Could it be that the temple has concentrated its power against the major mage families? ”
Thinking of this, Victor led the four low-level mages to speed up the pace of his feet.
When they infiltrated a small two-story building near the Tower of Babel, they did not find the rumored Temple troops blocking the Tower of Babel.
"This ...... How could there be no one? ”
"Damn! If we hadn't listened to the rumors, we might have safely entered the Tower of Babel......"
Victor waved his hand and motioned for the crowd to be quiet.
"Let's take a break here and wait until it's safe before entering the Tower of Babel......"
So, several people were divided into two teams, taking turns to guard and rest.
"Mr. Victor, can I excuse you?"
The older Master of the Three Rings asked softly, "You are an outstanding person in the field of mathematics and physics, and I have a little question for you to hear......
"Are you sure? At this time? ”
Victor asked in surprise, "If you think it's appropriate, I have no opinion......"
I thought that the three-ring mage would retreat in the face of difficulties, but as if he hadn't listened to Victor's words, he asked with great interest: "Mr. Victor, I encountered a problem in the paper you published in the journal Nature half a year ago, 'On the Inevitability of Multidimensional Space'......"
"You describe an incredible model of space-time in the language of mathematics...... The zero dimension is the point, the first dimension is the line, the second dimension is the surface, the third dimension is the static space, and the fourth dimension is the dynamic space with time added...... Does this new theory of time and space mean that there must be other unknown spaces besides the space in which we intelligent beings live? ”
Victor admired this low-level mage with an unusually obsessive attachment to knowledge, and he smiled and explained, "First of all, you need to recognize the fact that the world is still intact in the unexplored realm of arcane! Whether there are other unknown dimensional spaces depends on our perception of the world......"
The elder three-ring mage nodded repeatedly, staring at Victor with a look of reverence, carefully recording every word he spoke.
"But you have to understand that our senses, our past experiences...... All of this affects our perception of the real world! Just because you don't find it doesn't mean it doesn't exist; The conflict between an existing theory and an exploring theory does not mean that both are right or wrong......"
In this way, mastering an absolutely objective research tool has become the most urgent thing we need...... Fortunately, we have mastered that tool – mathematics. ”
"Back to the question you asked: Are there other unknown dimensional spaces? Through mathematical modeling, we divide a point in the fourth dimension into an infinite number of timelines, which becomes the five-dimensional ...... So what does infinity mean? ”
"If mathematics is the language of nature, then the world around us should also be infinite. As confusing as they may be, it is because our perceptions are narrow...... Our lives, our arcane, are so small compared to the truth! ”
"That's it...... Is multidimensional space-time infinite? Quite possibly! As far as we know now, perhaps infinite. Once you have this point of view, your problem is solved...... There must be other unknown dimensional spaces! ”
Victor's concise explanation stunned the three-ring mage, and he muttered, "I see...... Knowledge and experience, imagination and intuition, although they have their own roles, there is a fundamental conflict between the two - the existing knowledge system tends to inhibit the unbridled imagination...... I get it! I really get it!! ”
Shaking his head, Victor diverted his energy from the muttering mage and fell into deep thought: "Strange? Why didn't the Magic Society make any moves? Could it be that something happened? ”
The contemplative Victor didn't know what kind of surprises this unknown low-level mage would bring to the modern magic system in the future under his guidance!
……
Ruins of Cecil Manor.
More than a dozen cardinals of the Temple of Eternity were flanked by a majestic old man dressed in a crisp white gold-rimmed robe, holding a Mithril-plated iron scepter decorated with the Mark of the Star and Moon.
"Praise be to you! His Majesty the Holy Father, Advocate of Truth, His Majesty the Pope......"
Constance Anderson, First Deacon of the Cardinal Order, titled "The Right Hand of God", said to Pope Paul III: "This 'divine punishment' operation is going smoothly according to plan! ”
"As of now, several towns on Greenland have been razed to the ground by the Holy Knights, and the recalcitrant heretics have been largely purified......"
"By order of His Majesty, the Cardinal Order laid siege to the Tower of Babel without attacking it, pinning down the elite forces of the Magical Society...... The Templars are working hard to wipe out the major mage families, as well as the mage apprentices and low-level mages who are roaming the Floating City......"
"I believe that after the 'Divine Punishment' operation, the Magic Society will be hit hard!"
Paul III nodded with satisfaction and complimented, "Very good! The Ministries are ordered to intensify the crackdown on Operation Divine Punishment, and to destroy as much of its living force as possible before the Magic Academy realizes our intentions. ”
"With the foundation accumulated by the Magic Society over the millennia, our temple did not attempt to sweep it away in one fell swoop...... All we need to do is eliminate those mage apprentices and low-level mages, and destroy a few major mage families, and we can perfectly achieve the purpose of this operation. ”
"Praise be to my Lord, my Lord is eternal!"
