Chapter 1601: Transformation in the Battle (6)

Seeing Lawrence the Strategist floating in mid-air, Elaine couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It's not scientific.

Is this magic......?

However, seeing the Demon Sealing Bracelet on Lawrence's arm, the White Dragon Man couldn't help but be further suspicious.

The candidates in this round table trial must wear a magic bracelet, which is used to prevent candidates from cheating with magic. Of course, if you have enough money, you can still find a conference organizer to unlock a certain kind of magic.

However, the cost of unlocking magic tricks is extremely high, and the more useful a magic trick is, the more money it will need to unlock it. Ordinary candidates won't have nothing to do to unlock a magic trick to play.

The most important point is that Elaine has read the manual, and when the unlocked magic is used, the Demon Sealing Bracelet will emit a distinct orange glow to alert the opponent.

Now Lawrence's bracelet doesn't shine at all, that is, he's not using magic. Lawrence floated in mid-air without magic, or with any equipment.

This is simply unscientific.

Elaine, who was already in a bad mind, couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw this sight, and he felt that his head was about to start smoking.

In fact, even the smarter ones, such as Kador, who was watching the battle from inside the bridge, were at a loss: "What did Lawrence do? Is this cheating? Did he crack the system of the Demon Sealing Bracelet and bypass some of the Demon Sealing programs?"

"Nope. It was [miracle]. King Arthur snorted indifferently: "Probably some kind of talent like Lancelot." ＂

"Lancelot, how could it be—" Kador picked up his electronic ledger and looked at it again. Strategist Lawrence only started participating in the Roundtable Trial two years ago, and since the candidates are not required to submit their own materials to the conference organizers, there are also guys like Lawrence who don't give any information.

In short, the organizers of the conference have a low level of understanding of Lawrence, who is only at the level of "this guy's grades are at the upper middle level, which is not particularly good". However, such an inconspicuous person suddenly used an extraordinarily rare [miracle] - far beyond the existence of magic, something "out of nothing"!

"What, is this kind of thing strange?" the Knight King said with a flat face: "Among the candidates of this year, doesn't that white tiger also use miracles?

"But Monster Hunter Albert only participated in the competition this year. Kador shrugged: "Not to mention those who only played this year, Lawrence has taken two exams, and I haven't seen him use this kind of thing in previous games no matter how he lost." He used it today...... This miracle of unknown origin. Could it be that this miracle is something he has only recently learned?"

"No, miracles are innately gifted and can never be learned. The Knight King said, "It is true that some people are born to use this talent, and there are others who grow up and become aware that they are capable of using miracles." However, I believe Lawrence the Strategist falls into the former. ＂

"Your Majesty, why are you so sure? ＂

So Arthur smiled indifferently: "Kador, you take a closer look at his profile." ＂

Filled with doubts, the Knight of the Round Table opened the profile of Lawrence the Strategist and examined it again. The document was not long, but only a few hundred words of conversation, briefly recounting the life and deeds of the strategist Lawrence. This is a small piece of information, but it is all that the British intelligence network can find.

Strategist Lawrence, born Nicholas Lawrence, was born into a poor family in South Africa. His parents are divorced and he has a brother in the family. His mother died in childbirth. When his mother gave birth to Lawrence, he was a preterm baby. Because of premature birth and excessive fetal malnutrition, Lawrence was born with a disability that prevented him from moving his limbs and severe edema of his brain. Lawrence's 10-year-old brother has since taken on the responsibility of raising the disabled baby.

When the baby was about a year old, all the neighbors in the slum persuaded his brother to give up the baby, because a paralyzed child could never survive in such a harsh slum. However, Lawrence's brother did not give up and continued to raise the baby until he was three years old.

It was when Lawrence was three years old that a miracle happened. Originally paralyzed, he suddenly stood up, and even suddenly learned to hold the spoon with both hands to eat. This matter became a strange news in the local area for a while, but the topic only circulated for a few months before it calmed down and no one cared about it. After all, the sudden recovery of a paralyzed baby in a slum is not a big deal.

"-Well, I know all of that. You see that's enough, can you not read it?" interrupted the Knight King.

Kador shrugged.

"Lawrence the Strategist later made his fortune as a magician and strategist, but there is nothing particularly remarkable about his rise in the process. The Knight King then said, "Therefore, the truly strange thing is that when he was three years old, he was suddenly cured of paralysis." ＂

The Knight of the Round Table looked at the King of Great Britain, still at a loss: "I still don't understand, Your Majesty." What does that have to do with his ability to use miracles?"

"Don't you understand, Kadol?" King Arthur smiled indifferently, "Lawrence's disability has never been cured at all. The Demon Sealing Bracelet we sent out has been monitoring the physical condition of the candidates, and the status shows that Lawrence's limbs and nerves are actually all necrotic. That is, even now, he is constantly paralyzed. The reason why he was able to walk, move, and fight like an ordinary person was not because of his nerves, but because of [miracles]. ＂

Kador gasped.

"It's probably like Lancelot's miracle, it's a talent for controlling kinetic energy. "Arthur, I continued to analyze: "Lancelot can create something out of nothing, and suddenly generate kinetic energy in any direction between his palms, so his swordsmanship has always been very powerful. His sword can turn abruptly at his will, attacking from a direction you wouldn't expect, completely beyond the normal laws of physics. Lawrence's body is estimated to be moving on a similar principle, except that his miracle does not focus on the palm of the hand like Lancelot's miracle, but acts on the whole body. ＂

Kador glanced at Lawrence, the strategist floating in mid-air, through the screen, "So, now this...... Is it a miracle to do a good thing......?"

King Arthur narrowed his eyes: "There shouldn't be a mistake. As long as enough kinetic energy is generated to counteract gravity, a person's body can float in mid-air for no apparent reason. If it's not magic that creates kinetic energy, then it can only be a miracle. ＂

In fact, a similar move also exists in magic, which is called [Dancing Sky Technique]. Very few mages use it, though. It doesn't make much sense to spend mana and concentration to make yourself fly in a magic battle, it's better to unleash more powerful offensive magic tricks on your feet and take out your opponent as soon as possible.

However, the [kinetic energy] created by miracles is originally something created out of nothing, and there is no need to pay a price without "consumption", and it can be used indefinitely. Lawrence hadn't used this before, simply because...... He's focused on controlling the floating weapon!

"I still don't understand, Your Majesty. Kador was inexplicably stubborn in some places, and wanted to ask the end: "Even so, how are you sure that Lawrence the Strategist will use miracles, Your Majesty, in addition to magic, he can still have many means to keep himself floating in mid-air - such as the [Sky Sword] that has been used by the examinees before." ＂

"Your suspicions are in the right direction, and there are other possibilities. King Arthur replied, "Normally, I would have doubted in these directions, and I would have been the last to think of Lawrence's gift for [miracles]." However, after I completed Lawrence's private interview yesterday, my mind changed and I was inclined to think that Lawrence would use miracles. ＂

"Oh?" said Cador, who exclaimed, "What is Lawrence the Counselor's wish?"

"He wanted to see [AxiombeyondtheCircle] again. The Knight King replied indifferently.

"What?!" Cador looked confused, "Is it the one that the ancient mages are looking for, [Outer Reason]?"

The Knight King nodded.

AxiombeyondtheCircle, also known as AxiombeyondtheString, is a concept that originated in ancient times and was introduced by mages.

The mages believe that there is an ultimate answer to all things in the universe, a condensed truth. If you find this truth, all questions about magic, about the universe, from the past to the future, will be answered.

Although most magicians in modern times scoff at the existence of the Outer Circle, most magicians in ancient times were almost fascinated by it, and many of them spent their lives doing research in the hope of approaching the door of this truth through the study of magic.

Of course, no one has ever succeeded. Because of this, there have been many crazy magicians in history, who are famous for their research on various evil ways, adding layers of mystery to the already mysterious [Outer Reason].

Some people say that as long as they see the truth outside the circle, people can be elevated to god;

It is also said that if you see the truth of the circle at any time, the world will be destroyed.

"Lawrence, the Strategist, told me that it was because he had seen [the Principle of the Circle] when he was born that he had the gift of using miracles. King Arthur replied indifferently.

"He believes that all the people in the world who have a special constitution that can use [miracles] have seen [the principle of the circle] at the moment of birth. ＂
