Chapter 362: Desperate Situation?
What is magic?
What is the biggest difference between magic and mechanical science?
In the past, when he was on Earth, Rollin's idle egg pain was also discussed with many communities and people. There are many people who believe that magic is science after the development of magic, and the reason why the two sides are different in form is only because the rules of their respective worlds are different.
Rollin used to think so, but it wasn't until he came into this world and came into contact with true magic that he really realized the essential difference between the two sides.
Mechanistic science is only a deduction of matter and energy, no matter how complex, it cannot escape this scope. Magic, on the other hand, is a brilliant firework that blooms from life and soul, and its power is directly related to the soul.
One is simply a thing, and the other is mixed with spirituality.
Things can be reproduced lightly. But the spirituality is unique and the personality is distinct.
There are no two leaves in the world that are the same, and no two magicians can barely tell each other apart, because each magician's magic is so intensely personal that even a magic apprentice can tell the difference between the other.
Rollin's problem was how to accurately replicate a massive three-dimensional object with derivative magic, rather than just a thin magic scroll.
But the essence of this idea is to use the same magic magic as mechanical science to exert the same effect as mechanical science, to precisely replicate the exact same magic musket, which is almost a paradox and a thousand-year problem in the wizarding world.
Therefore, since Rollin raised the question, the magicians of Mosaren Fortress have basically shaken their heads, thinking that this is simply impossible, including Vianna.
But this time, Rollin was very resolute.
He strongly demanded it as a marshal. The gates of the Magic Tower had to be publicly posted. Announcement Commitments. Whoever can solve the thousand-year-old puzzle of derived magic will be able to get the guidance of Archmage Vianna himself, and get a hundred kilograms of amethyst collected from the monster mountain giants of the other world.
Needless to say, Archmage Vianna's guidance and amethyst are rarely known, but it's okay, there are some samples in the magic tower, and these samples show. These amethyst stones have a near-perfect ability to channel magical power, and are the key material for making the Zuò Eternal Circle.
A hundred kilograms is not too much to describe as priceless.
For a while, the magicians of the bridge fortress fell into a state of madness, doing this thing all their spare time, although the possibility of this thing is very small, but what if they are favored by the gods?
The proclamation also spread quickly across the northern continent, from the north to the Duchy of Aoraki.
More than a month later, almost all Terran mages knew about the announcement, and some were eager to try it. Some people watched coldly, but the vast majority of magicians were taunting. The magicians thought that the Archmage of Vianna in Mosaren was crazy, no, to be precise, the marshal of the Silver Crusaders.
Solve millennial puzzles that derive magic? This is a problem that can be solved by rerewarding alone, it depends on the revelation of the gods, and I don't know how many genius magicians have used their life's work to verify this fact for more than a thousand years.
Mosalen Bridge Fort.
Vianna also smiled wryly, to be honest, she didn't approve of Rollin's approach in her heart, but there was no way, Rollin insisted on experimenting, and she could only support it, if it was really favored by the gods, it would be a good thing to accidentally solve this problem.
It's night, of course Vianna didn't stay in the Magic Tower, she, like Rollin, is also a marrow eater, and she can't stop, these nights, either Rollin secretly goes to the Magic Tower to find her, or she runs to find Rollin.
The two of them were half and half, and the dry firewood met the fire. Tonight, it's Vianna who comes to Rollin.
It was already a storm before, but now the clouds and rain have stopped, she lay in Luo Lin's arms, touched the muscles on Luo Lin's abdomen with both hands at will, and said lazily: "I really don't know what crazy you are, you have to give a reward." ”
Rollin had just finished dealing with a day's work, not an ordinary business, which had already been dealt with, but a letter about solving the problem of derivative magic.
These letters were sent from all over the mainland, swearing that they had solved the key problem, and after some verification, nine times out of ten they were liars, I really don't know what these guys were thinking in their heads, and Rollin didn't bother to hold these liars or megalomaniacs accountable.
There are also some real talents, but the so-called conjectures that need to be verified at a large cost are put forward.
For these conjectures, Rollin asked the two archmages in the magic tower to evaluate, and if it was really worth a try, Rollin spent his blood to test it.
After more than a month, I tried two conjectures and spent more than 20,000 gold coins, but I still found nothing, and there was no progress at all.
Now, the bounty announcement of Mosarun Fortress, including himself, is slowly becoming a joke in the Starlight Continent. It is said that when people encounter an unsolvable and unrealistic problem, they will joke that it is 'the marshal's trouble', which is really laughable.
Rollin was also a little tired, tired, but of course he would not back down, one hand unconsciously played with the roundness of Vianna's chest, sighed and smiled: "There is no motivation without a bounty." When I read history books, I found that many of the key breakthroughs in magical theory were inadvertently discovered by a small person. And these little people have an extreme thirst for fame and fortune, and these things can greatly stimulate their creative power. ”
"You're right." What else could Vianna say, she would always have to support her anyway.
After a moment of silence, Vianna added, "I heard that the werewolf scouts have come back with bad news, saying that the number of demons in the south has greatly increased, and there are many more small demons that I have never seen before. This little devil is building some inexplicable buildings in his territory? ”
"Yes." Rollin nodded: "I guess it's a newly summoned demon." I've seen the portrait sent back by the werewolf scout, it should be the dwarf, I've seen it a few times in the dark world. At that time, a dwarf was talking to the Great Demon King about some plans, and it was clear from the words that these dwarves were somewhat similar to goblins, they were very good at mechanical technology, and these guys appeared in the south. It's a real headache. ”
This news was received by Rollin three days ago. Intelligence shows. The number of demons in the dark legion reached nearly 300,000, but instead of attacking the north, they stayed in the south and did nothing, except for the construction of various strange buildings.
Through the information he obtained, Luo Lin had reason to believe that the Dark Legion must also be preparing to build all kinds of dark machinery and equipment, and wait until the other party is completed. It would be a nightmare to equip the legion with all kinds of weird black technology, and then go north by then.
As for the extra dwarves, based on the information that Rollin currently knew, he deduced that these demons should have been summoned from the dark world.
Radiant Paladin Joseph. Martin had told him that the force of the world was inexplicably surging, and even a god could not break through this barrier, let alone open a portal, so there was no need to worry about the number of demons increasing dramatically. Now there are suddenly more demons, and the only explanation is something about the dark world. He had also seen the base of the undead in the Dark World. There, the Lord of Death was already able to contact the statue. It shows that there is no force barrier in the dark world.
There, Disentas definitely has the ability to open new portals.
In the final analysis, this incident was caused by him unintentionally, and it was his heavy mistake, but fortunately, he had blocked the passage entrance, otherwise the consequences could only be described as unimaginable.
Horn, Joseph. Martin, Vianna and others were vaguely aware of these things, but everyone chose to avoid talking about them, because they knew that it was Rollin's fault, and at this time, such mistakes were pointless.
Just like Luo Lin once said that day, these commanders and generals are irreplaceable, so what if they are wrong?
There is no point in complaining about each other, you can only face it together.
Hearing Luo Lin say this, Vianna also realized the problem: "In this way, the shape of shì becomes very bad. We can't wait for each other to be ready. How about we say we go south and attack? ”
"Assault?" Luo Lin shook his head without thinking: "It's useless, our strength is too weak." The Aoraki Kingdom has recently fallen into civil strife, and it is unable to send troops at all, and if it dares to go south, it can only end up being annihilated. ”
Now, there are 120,000 recruits in training in the fortress, as well as an army of elven archers, an army of dwarves, and then a variety of airships and turrets. But there is also a time limit, and when the other party is ready, and they don't add a new power, it will definitely be crushed.
"What then?" Vianna grimaced.
If you fight, you will lose, and if you don't fight, you will lose in the end, this is simply waiting for death.
"Magic muskets, and all kinds of sophisticated goblin equipment, this time I brought back a nearly goblin airship, as long as we can break through the problem of deriving magic, we can get a chance to win." Rolling, he showed Vianna his space.
The space of the dragon is very different from the ordinary magic package, it can be attached to an ordinary package as an opening, or it can be opened directly by the owner without the help of any external objects, and the space is very large, more like a portable half-plane.
On that day, Luo Lin cut off the key parts of a whole goblin airship and put it in the space, which contained the essence of goblin mechanical technology, Vianna was immediately fascinated, looked at the materials and equipment one by one, and looked at it for more than half an hour, she couldn't help but say: "I finally know why you insist on bounty derivative magic." If the goblin machine really reaches this level, and we can have it on a large scale, the combat power can be increased by at least ten times! ”
Rollin nodded: "Yes." I've sent Verzac to build all sorts of instruments, and even to modify our existing airships. Once he's made a usable finished product, and the spin-off magic has a breakthrough, we'll be able to replicate it and equip it on a large scale, alas! ”
Judging from the current shape, it can be said that the victory of this battle of light and darkness depends on whether this magical problem can be solved in time.
However, there are only a few thousand official magicians in the nearly 20 million human races in the whole continent, and even if you add magic apprentices, there are less than 20,000, and a large number of them have a sneering attitude towards Rollin's bounty, and they stubbornly believe that this problem is impossible to solve.
To be honest, even if Rollin insisted, deep down he had already admitted that it was very likely that this magic problem could not be solved.
If this is the case, then do some extreme responses, such as using magic forbidden spells on the battlefield and dying with the other party, this is the last resort, because any forbidden spell has extremely terrible sequelae.
For example, the Doomsday Meteorite is composed of at least 500 magicians above the intermediate level to form a sacrificial magic array, burning souls to cast spells, summoning a flame meteorite with a diameter of more than 500 meters to descend from the sky and smash on the battlefield at an unimaginable high speed. Needless to say, this power is enough to turn the entire battlefield into ashes, but there is no doubt that the entire Starlight Continent will be poisoned by this magic.
Even the Dark Legion did not dare to use this terrifying ultimate magic, because they wanted to conquer the continent and make the various dark races the masters of the continent, not destroy it.
Rollin's solemn expression made Vianna's heart heavy, and she was silent for a long time, and she suddenly spoke: "Maybe I have a way!" (To be continued......)
