In a large, brightly lit laboratory, Kamel was floating high in the air, monitoring the operation of the equipment in front of him—

A spout-like alloy device made of multiple rings and sleeves is fixed to the center of the floor of the room, and outside the device is a crystal conduit connected to the ceiling, a large number of runes and mythril conduction structures are embedded in an orderly form on the ground around the device, and many controls and ancillary devices are displayed next to the walls on either side of the room.

Carmel's eyes were fixed on the crystal conduit in the center of the ground, staring at the alloy "spout" at the bottom of the conduit, a blue-white stream of magical flames was quietly gushing out of the vent, forming a straight energy ray in the conduit, and the crystal device on the top of the conduit made a buzzing sound, continuously releasing these pure and powerful energies into the high-energy circuits around the laboratory, maintaining this dangerous and precise state of balance.

A magic net terminal not far away suddenly rang at this time, Kamel looked up at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall, and then lowered the height to the communication station, as the device was activated, a clear projection picture soon appeared in the sky above the projection crystal, and a blonde hair was held high, and a beautiful and mature elf lady appeared in the image: "Master Carmel, good day." ”

"Good day, Great Star Sorcerer Verania," Carmel nodded slightly—visually showing the arcane cloud on his head floating up and down, "Your contact was very punctual - how was the result of the experiment?" Is our newly designed process working? ”

"It's a pity," sighed the Great Star Sorcerer in the holographic projection, "Although we have managed to create a shielded force field that can block all magical effects, the dark room set in the center of the force field is still disturbed by the magic of nature, and the image presented on the projection panel is blurry and unreadable. ”

The arcane brilliance circulating on Kamel's body paused for a moment, and then he let out a reverberating sigh: "Ah...... That's really bad news. Our experimental workflow is already perfect in theory. ”

"It seems that we are underestimating the extent to which magic is 'everywhere' in nature," said Verania, "and none of the observations that have been tried so far can rule out the interference of primordial magic fields, including entering the Shadow Realm, the Elemental Realm, the Half-Plane, going deep underground, climbing mountains, or even ......"

"Even experimenting in the Shadow Realm," Kamel sighed, "we can't rule out primordial magical interference in nature, so even if we have prepared extremely pure arcane energy, we can't observe the theoretical interference streaks......"

The Great Star Sorcerer Vilania had a regretful expression on her face, and her gaze looked beyond Kamal's figure to the massive crystal conduit in the center of the room—the arcane rays in the conduit emitted a bright and constant glow, which made her eyes widen: "You've succeeded in creating a new emitter?" ”

"I modified the mana focuser of the Gondor era on the basis of the technology of contemporary magic theory, and the arcane jet prepared was about three percent higher in purity than before, and even more in intensity," Carmel's voice finally brought a hint of excitement, but the good mood only lasted for a short time, "But again, as long as the interference problem cannot be solved, then no matter how pure the emission source we prepare, there is no way to prove the fluctuating nature of the magic power......"

Speaking of this particularly helpless topic, the two scholars fell silent at the same time.

Demonstrate the fluctuating nature of magic...... Kamil and Vilania have been plagued by this issue for a long time, especially Verania, to whom the great star magician has even worked for almost half a century.

What exactly is magic? Why is it everywhere? Is it essentially a special substance or is it an invisible fluctuation? The most difficult part of these questions is not a theoretical deduction, but a final proof that Vilania had completed her thesis on the nature of magical fluctuations more than forty years ago, and in practice, she and Kamel have not yet found evidence for it.

The most lethal part is the interference, the interference of the ubiquitous primordial magic field in nature - the most direct way to prove that magic is a wave is to observe the "phenomenon" it produces as a wave, such as interference fringes, but in the real experimental environment, any experimental medium that can display interference fringes will also observe the "primordial magic noise" of nature, which is as ubiquitous as the "background radiation" reflected at the bottom of the whole world, and even runs through the shadow world. The Shadow Realm and all the elemental worlds enveloped all researchers like a thick mist, and even the senior mages of the Gondor Empire and the great star sorcerers of the Elven Race could not find a clear "gap" in this layer of fog.

“…… If we can prove that magic is a wave, we can explain more than half of the magic phenomena in this world," Vilania said, the records and auxiliary crystals floating around her a little dim, "and if we find the right means of observation, we will also find the means to accurately measure and even control the basic magic, control the magic from the essential level of 'waves', think about it, how much can this subvert?" ”

"Yes, yes, I can imagine - we can even artificially make the Deep Blue Well, mass-produced," Kamel spread his hands, "but only if we find the means......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head, muttering in a complicated tone: "Actually, we can almost confirm that magic is a wave, isn't it—think of the indirect evidence, think of the deep 'foundation' of teleportation, think of the rainbow generator." If magic wasn't a wave, there was no way to explain it. ”

"But we still need to find more direct evidence, and more importantly - the means of observation, which must be a practical tool that can be quantified, manipulated, and repeated," Villania shook her head, "Well, let's put this long-term problem aside for a moment, and I would like to talk to you about some interesting patterns that we have discovered in recent times when we have been compiling records of our observations of the sun......"

"A record of observations of the sun in the southern part of the continent?" The light on Kamel's body suddenly brightened slightly, "Then I'm interested." ”

……

Even though most of the Loren continent has become warmer, the area around the Dragon's Castle, which stands on the top of the mountains in the far north of the continent, is still covered in snow and ice - the light of the sky is gradually slanting from the west to the mountains of the principality, and this bright light makes the snow line on the peaks more and more distinct, the slopes below the snow line and the gentler areas below are green, and the palace area above the snow line is still snow-capped.

The Dragon-Blood Grand Duke Baloger sat in a study on the upper floors of the castle, the warm fire burning quietly not far away, he bowed his head and signed documents on raising food and adjusting foreign exchange reserves, and outside the window beside him, a cloud of snow was blown down from the eaves by the wind, fluttering over the window, and fluttering over the towering stone walls, flying in the direction of the city below.

In the land of the Dragonborn, many cities are built on the mountain, and the high and low megalithic buildings will spread from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top of the mountain, and its unique way of building the city is quite similar to that of Talrond, but it reveals more primitive and rough texture. Today's weather is fine, and the Dragonborns are busy in these three-dimensional cities, repairing houses and cleaning roads in preparation for spring, which is nearly a month later than the southern part of the continent.

This year's city is more lively than usual, with many new shops being set up in the urban area below the snow line, exotic merchants and locals in trendy costumes, children running between the high and low slopes, clutching candy from the human world in their hands, and some children shouting out certain human style moves and names, which are often from some "color picture books" that are passed down among children, which come from the human world in small numbers. And it's often a month or two late, but it's extremely sought-after.

The ripple effect of "Opening the Gate" is being felt in the world of the Dragonborn.

Young Dragonborns love the bizarre world of the South, which is always colourful in fairy tale books.

But there is another group of children who choose to follow the tradition - in some steep area on the edge of the city, in the open section of the wall, the children leap off the polished and smooth ramp and tumble towards the bottom of the hill with joy, enjoying themselves in a barrage of exclamations and screams, and their angry parents will soon appear on the ramparts, screaming as they roll to the bottom of the hill - it would be unwise to play on the ramp at this time, and it would obviously be dinner time to climb all the way back from the foot of the hill so far. Responsible parents have always been concerned about the health of their children, and not eating on time is obviously harmful to health.

And what's more: winter has passed, the snow has melted, and the protection of the icy slides has been lost, and it is obviously very dangerous to roll all the way down the steep rocks strewn with rocks, and brand new clothes tend to become tattered after a tumbling over, and although the clothes made of monster skins are many times stronger than the textiles of the human world, they can't stand the naughty dragonborns so nonsense.

Melita Pernia, dressed in a long blue dress, walked the vibrant streets of the city, her eyes full of curiosity, and she kept looking around, the daily life of the Dragonborn seemed to open her eyes, while Sir Gorosh Sickel and the dragon-blood witch Lady Azalena walked beside her, acting as guides.

"This is the realm of the Dragonborn......" Melita whispered to herself, "I've been active in Loren for so long, but this is the first time I've been here......

"After all, there was an ancient taboo between us, that the watchers of Tarlund were not allowed to set foot in the Duchy of the Holy Dragon, and that the Dragonborn were not allowed to cross the northern borders," said Ser Gorosh, "but that gap has ended, and the two branches of the Dragons have finally reunited." ”

"Physical isolation can be eliminated, but the distance between hearts is not so easy to close," Melita looked at the dragonborn nobleman beside her, "Many dragonborns should not be willing to accept Tallrond in this way—especially after Tallrond is where it is now. ”

"Dragonborn...... It's a bit complicated in terms of feelings for primordial dragons," Azarena said softly, "I think it's with this in mind that you chose to enter the city with us in this form, rather than flying directly to Dragon's Castle in the form of a dragon, right?" ”

"That's really one of the reasons, and the other is that I want to get a closer look at your way of life," Melita replied, "We've been separated for too long, there's so much to re-establish, and Speaker Andal has ordered me to visit the Duchy of the Holy Dragon before returning to Talrond – a task that needs to be taken seriously." ”

"Indeed, we have a lot to re-establish," Sir Gorosh nodded, "and that's exactly what I'm trying to say. While it is true that many of the Dragonborn have mixed and slightly resistant feelings towards Tallrond, on the whole, most Dragonborn will not be truly hostile to their homeland after learning the truth, especially after they have seen the information about the current situation of Tallrond, and the original strong resistance among the people has even undergone a large transformation. ”

Melita's footsteps couldn't help but stop, and she looked at Golosh in some surprise: "It's a wasteland now, and it's no longer the perfect 'homeland paradise' of the old legends—"

Golosh nodded: "Yes, everyone can see it. ”

"Why? Sympathy? Melita asked, in a tone of pure curiosity, "Sympathy after seeing the primitive dragons that 'banished' them in the past have fallen to this point?" ”

"No, admiration." The dragon-blooded witch on the side said calmly.

……

Cecil was lit up with lights and celebrations throughout the city—colorful flags fluttered in the wind along the avenues, public magic net terminals in the streets and squares projected several historic scenes from the 112 Conference and the Union flags fluttering high, citizens celebrated the event that was destined to go down in history with the enthusiasm of a grand festival, and countless shops in the city found new reasons for discounts.

Of course, none of this was the point for Hety, the great steward of the empire, who had worked hard for the land all day, the real point was that Cecil's emperor had returned.

The ancestor has finally returned, which means that the long-lost holiday is also coming back; Rebecca, who had been taken out to see the world, is finally back, which means that the good sleep that has been absent for many days due to fear is also coming back.

It's just that the fact that the old ancestor also brought back an elven queen by the way is a bit more than expected—there is one more thing that needs to be bothered to arrange, but overall, Hetty's mood is still very happy.

In Cecil's Palace, he finally returned to his familiar home, and Gawain was completely relaxed.

The Silver Empress Belsetia and the accompanying elves had been arranged to live in the highest area of the Autumn Palace, and Rebecca had already run back to her room happily, the speed of the Amber Slip was only half a second slower than Rebecca, and when Gawain reacted, his side had suddenly calmed down.

After changing his regular clothes, he sat down on a sofa in the hall and breathed a sigh of relief, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hetty, dressed in a red court dress, walking towards him with a smile - this great-grandson goddess had visible tiredness in her color, but her smile was extraordinarily bright.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, Gawain always feels that there seems to be a trace of ...... hidden in Hetty's smile Eccentric.

"Ancestor, I'm so glad to see you return safely, this time, history has once again deeply imprinted your glorious name," even when they were together in private, Hetty always attached great importance to etiquette, she first bowed to Gawain and gave a speech according to etiquette, and then the whole person seemed relaxed, "Rebecca didn't get into trouble outside, right?" ”

Gao Wen thought about it for a while, and quickly deleted a lot of less important "small questions" from his mind before shaking his head with a smile: "She is very obedient this time, and she has grown a lot." ”

Hetty breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

Then she briefly reported to Gao Wen about the recent situation of the Supreme Government Affairs Office, and asked about some things during the meeting, and the topic gradually expanded in a relaxed and daily direction. After a few small words, her expression suddenly took on a bit of strangeness: "By the way, Ancestor, there is something...... I feel compelled to mention it to you. ”

"It's rare to see you look like that," Gawain wondered, "what's wrong?" ”

"I only heard about it this morning, and I haven't had time to confirm it," Hetty subconsciously looked around, and then leaned over to Gawain with a strange appearance and whispered, "I heard...... Betty has been looking weird in recent days. ”

"Betty? Does she look weird? Gao Wenwan didn't expect to hear this kind of thing, "Hasn't that kid always been very well-behaved...... What did she do? ”

"She's said to be watering that egg......"

"Eggs? What eggs? ”

"The egg from the dragons."

“？！”

(I'm going to Haikou for a meeting these days, the update may be unstable, I try to keep it updated!!) ）
