Chapter 262: Towards the Truth

Gawain's questions were one after another, and after several "whys" in a row, Herty felt that the excitement and joy she had just felt had even cooled down a lot - not long ago, she thought that she had come into contact with a field in the wizarding world that no one had set foot in before, and had mastered new knowledge that she had never imagined before, but after Gawain's "why" question, she realized that she didn't understand more things.

Instead of revealing the truth of the world, he became more deeply aware of his ignorance of the truth.

Even though this isn't the first time Gawain has thrown out a series of "whys", Hetty still feels a lot of pressure.

But there was no look of loss on the face of Kamel next to him—for he didn't look at all—the ancient magister fell into deep thought after hearing Gawain's questions, which echoed in his mind, and he suddenly felt a passion that had been absent for hundreds of years was overflowing from his heart. He thought of a long, long time ago, of when he was an apprentice of magic, of what his mentor had said when he first learned that there were so many mysteries in this world:

Human beings are always moving from the unknown to the known, and then from the known to another unknown, and as long as you can still have new confusions about the world in your mind, then your pace of progress will never stop.

Carmel did not expect that it would be such a knight lord who gave him a new impetus in the world of magic, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Lord, your search for the truth is admirable, and it even surpasses many conservative magic researchers. ”

"I'm just curious, and I can't help but think about a lot of things," Gawain shook his head with a smile and looked at the magic obelisk in the center of the room, "I've had this question a long time ago—what exactly is the 'magic' that spreads all over the world?" Why is it that only a small percentage of humans are able to sense magic naturally? And how does magic affect everything? I had tried to find answers from ancient scriptures, but I couldn't find any...... People seem to be obsessed with the unilateral use of magic, but few people think about its essence......"

Kamel sighed: "I believe that in the long history of people have always raised this question, but unfortunately ...... Our civilization has still not been able to take a crucial step in this essential area. ”

Gawain pondered that the appearance of the magic obelisk had actually made him have some associations, and this association was cleverly consistent with a certain conjecture he had long ago about magic power:

Is magic a "wave"? Or is it something similar in nature to a "wave"? Or is the phenomenon of "magic" itself a kind of fluctuation?

But in this world of strange physical properties, do the ubiquitous "waves" still follow the laws that Gawain knows? Picking up a pebble and throwing it into the water will seem like no problem, but in the realm of magic that is invisible to the naked eye, will everything still work like the material world?

Even the legendary knight's magic perception ability can only perceive the vague and chaotic magical environment in nature, and there is no technology that can accurately observe and test magic at this stage...... But, maybe Kamel could?

Thinking of this, he looked at Kamal and Hetty, tentatively inspiring them: "Have you ever wondered what magic is spreading when the magic obelisk is running? ”

"'By virtue of' what?" Hetty frowned, a thoughtful look, "The transmission of magic requires a medium...... But how exactly does it spread in the absence of a medium......"

Kamel also fell into thought: "The ancient teleportation spell was the first to break through this bottleneck, the information is based on magic, and it can reach distant places in an instant, but its appearance is only a product of coincidence, the ancient magicians only discovered it by chance and thought it was very useful, but until today, no one has figured out what the principle of this spell is...... Those ancient rune combinations hadn't been improved in thousands of years. ”

Gawain's heart seemed to be lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope for unveiling the mystery of magic in the ancient teleportation spell and the current magic obelisk, and also saw a certain dawn to solve the communication problem: "Although the actual effect is different, they all involve the 'out of thin air' transmission of magic, and I think there are commonalities in this." ”

Hettie looked down at the "receiver" in her hand, the small piece of Holm crystal embedded in the center of the receiver had dimmed with the extinguishing of the "transmitter", but her mind was more active than before.

In this little installation...... What kind of mystery is hidden?

"Actually, I have a conjecture," Gawain cautiously offered his opinion when he saw that both Carmel and Hetty were in a state of thought, "do you know the ripples in the water?" ”

"Ripples in the water?" Hetty didn't think about it for the first time, "What does the ripples in the water have to do with magic?" ”

"Ripples will spread outward!" The arcane brilliance on Kamel's body brightened for a moment, but then he fell into hesitation and confusion, "Is this such a simple explanation?" Magic...... Ripples are set off, so something travels along the ripples? It is the information that is disseminated...... Or energy? What is the 'medium' that carries the ripples? The surface of the water makes waves because of the presence of water, but what is there in the empty space...... Is magic itself its medium? ”

"Maybe you don't need a medium?" Gawain said tentatively, but then he stopped talking, "I'm just saying it casually, don't be affected by my words." ”

"We're all just guessing, don't take any assumptions you make in the guessing phase seriously," said Kamel very seriously, "Lord, every word of your voice is very referential—if you have any other guesses, just say it, I can see that you have thought a lot about it, and I'm afraid you already have something based on assumptions." ”

Gawain didn't expect Carmel to be so perceptive, he hesitated briefly - not that he didn't want to say, but he knew that the rules of this world were very different from the earth he knew, and he was worried that after he proposed a set of nearly complete theories based on the experience of the earth, it would mislead the thinking of local researchers and lead them astray, but Carmel's words made him make up his mind: real researchers are bound to make bold assumptions and carefully verify.

As long as he insists that everything he says is speculation and does not interfere with the research ideas of Herty or Carmel, then there is nothing to worry about.

So he sketched out the concept of fluctuations and fields - he deliberately made his descriptions simple and straightforward, partly to make it easier to understand, and partly to make the knowledge more like he had made it his own imagination, so that it would seem more real.

"To be honest, these are all speculations I have made based on my daily experience and superficial knowledge of magical phenomena," Gawain emphasized, "but I think the search for knowledge and truth is the case, especially in areas where we can't intuitively observe, and all we can do is assume the unknown based on what we know, and boldly assume it—and then seek confirmation or falsification." ”

"Hypothetical...... And then find out...... "Carmel mused," Carmel mused, "and that's what we did back then. ”

Gao Wen smiled slightly, and his heart twitched slightly: This B didn't pretend to be successful......

However, Kamel then continued: "But there are not many people who can understand it as deeply as you, especially since you are also a knight lord who is a warrior, and you can also have this kind of consciousness on the path of searching for the truth, which is more than many mediocre so-called 'scholars'." ”

As soon as Gawain wanted to speak, Hetty next to him had already reminded Carmel with a serious face: "Master Carmel, knights are better than mages......"

As soon as Gawain heard Hetty say the first few words, he broke out in a cold sweat, and coughed vigorously without waiting for the other party to finish: "Ahem! Curiosity is a human instinct, and as long as the motivation to explore is stimulated, there is no difference between a knight and a mage. ”

Kamel was actually quite curious about what Hetty wanted to say, but the low air pressure escaping from Gawain made him immediately choose to ignore this question, and nodded very seriously: "I definitely didn't agree with this sentence before, but now I have to agree with you." ”

Gawain didn't continue to expand the topic - he had already mentioned enough points, believing that with Carmel's intelligence, as long as he found one or two breakthrough points, coupled with his own "innate ability", he would definitely be able to forge a way in the realm of the essence of magic, and continued knowledge indoctrination would only constrain or influence the thinking of this ancient scholar.

Carmel left with the transmitter and receiver of the magic obelisk, the old master couldn't wait to devote himself to a new round of research, he had found his way forward in this strange new era, but before that, he first had to hand over the relevant technical information to Nicholas Egg, the head of the Institute of Mechanics, so that the results of the current stage could be converted into practical technology for the territory as soon as possible.

There are too few talents in the territory, and if he can have a few apprentices as assistants, he can send them to run errands, and he can save all his time in the laboratory—Kamel is flying around with the "prototype" in his plastic hand, while thinking about how to increase the number of magicians in the land.

Hetty stayed in Gawain's office, and the elegant lady stood quietly at the desk and whispered, "Ancestor, I actually think your ancestors are quite ......."

Elegance is fake, and thinking gradually Rebecca is real.

"Don't keep spreading the nonsense after drinking Gao back then," Gao Wen had a big head when he heard this, and felt that he had to find a time to correct the three views of his two granddaughters, "Did I let you investigate the matter clearly?" ”

"I found out, and it was indeed as you expected - among the displaced people who arrived in the territory after the first snowfall, a considerable number of them were of doubtful identity, and these suspicious people came from almost all parts of the southern territory except for the Leslie Territory and the Kant Territory."

(X public account for a wave of attention, the official account search "far pupil" is, the name was preemptively registered, and now this number has finally been appealed back =.) =)
