Chapter 41: Two Worlds
"If it is near the location of the connecting gate between the two realms, the engine of the internal combustion machinery can work normally, but about a hundred kilometers away, this kind of machinery will not be able to operate as usual, because the explosive chemical reaction that should be produced will be completely ineffective.

On a map of the Wizarding World, Lorna drew three large circles with a red ballpoint pen.
Lin Yuan recognized the place marked by Luo Na, the very center of the red circle, which was the location of the two realms connecting gates that were only three in the world.
"Once out of this range, gunpowder weapons will be ineffective, bullets will not be able to shoot out, explosives will become useless garbage, and none of the advanced weapons that the earth is proud of can be used in the magical world. ”
“...... That's why the status of the Magister is so high in the wizarding world. At this time, Lin Yuan remembered the historical knowledge he had learned.
In the Middle Ages, no matter where the Magus was born in the wizarding world, as long as he had magical powers, he could justifiably become a superior noble, while on Earth, although the Magister was more special, there would not be too much special treatment.
Even now, the earthlings have regarded the Magus as a relatively special profession, but the Magus of the Wizarding World, their status is still noble.
Lin Yuan initially thought that because of the frequent appearance of monsters in the wizarding world, the Magister could get a special status as a soldier specializing in monsters.
However, it now seems that in most places where modern advanced weapons cannot be used, the Magister is the most powerful weapon, and it is only natural that its value will rise.
"In short, in the wizarding world, the steam engine is the most advanced power plant, and if those are relatively backward, the steam engine cannot contain electronics and circuits, and there is no way to provide electricity. ”
Rona concluded.
"The thermodynamics of the earth is basically half-useless in this world, and we should be thankful that we can use steam power. ”
"Scientists have not been able to find a reason why chemical reactions are ineffective in the wizarding world," Sauls continued, "The Magus believe that the wizarding world and the earth are two completely different worlds, and the physical rules of the two are completely different, which is why many chemical reactions are ineffective. ”
“...... It's like an elf with an immortal body in the magical world, once it goes to the earth, can it be destroyed?" Lin Yuan gave an example.
"That's right, this is also the difference between the two worlds," Saulse nodded, "There are many people who believe that the existence of the connecting gate between the two worlds makes the laws between the worlds intersect, so near the connecting gate, some of the chemical reactions of the earth will have an effect, and after moving away from the gate, it will return to the state of the world." ”
"So ......"
Lin Yuan remembered reading a related report that on the earth, the closer you get to the gate, the power of magic will gradually increase, and some magical reactions that will not appear on the earth will also appear near the connecting gate.
"What a mess......"
Lin Yuan suddenly thought of a question.
"Will nuclear weapons work in the wizarding world?"
Sauls and Rhona looked at each other.
"Yes, but only within the scope of influence of the connecting gate," Rhona said in an unhurried tone, "As for nuclear power generation, it is completely impossible." ”
"Are you sure?"
Rhona hesitated for a moment to answer.
“...... This is the education I received when I was still in the Vientiane Research Society, and it is very credible. ”
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and pondered for a while.
"Forget it, now is not the time to study what is the decisive difference between the wizarding world and the earth. ”
When he opened his eyes, he completely put all the doubts in his mind aside.
He is not a research scholar and does not need to know the reasons for all sorts of things.
"Let's get back to business. ”
Lin Yuan asked Sauls about the city-state again.
"So the weapons of ordinary soldiers are all cold weapons?"
"It is true that there are no advanced weapons, generally speaking, only cold weapons such as swords, guns and arrows. ”
Sols didn't know what to remember, and sighed softly.
"For the safety of my subordinates, I once bought a batch of expensive bulletproof equipment, which can withstand sword slashes and bow and arrow fire, and now that I think about it, those things have already been obtained by Beaga and them......"
"You say that, I think of one more thing," Lin Yuan looked at Sols intently, "When I first met you, in addition to the knife wounds and magic wounds on your body, I remember that there seemed to be some bullet holes caused by gunshots, but in this area, guns should not be used, right?"
"That's an air gun," Rhona explained, "it's a special firearm that has only recently been mass-produced, and it's designed to be used in the wizarding world, and it's more lethal than a regular air gun. ”
"Air Gun...... Is it powerful?"
"The power is very average, not as good as a real hot weapon, if we were not affected by Beaga's fear power at that time, we were mentally confused, and there was no way to use magic normally, and we could resist the attack by relying on the magic barrier alone. ”
Sauls reached out and stroked the ventral side, which had once been pierced by bullets from air guns.
"The advantage of those air guns is that they can be manually inflated, they don't require any compressed gas, and they can be fired continuously, which is ideal for use in the environment of the wizarding world. ”
"Is the power average? But if it's only to that extent, it seems that there is no need to worry. ”
Lin Yuan and the others had a way to block the ordinary gunshot, but they still had to consider magic and the Magister.
"The problem is still with the powerful. ”
Lin Yuan smiled and asked Sols a question.
"Sols, do you have the confidence to fight each other alone?"
Sauls' gaze became sharp.
"If it is alone, the fat pig of Beaga will definitely not be my opponent, they are also the holders of negative powers, under normal circumstances, our strength will affect each other, the competition is perseverance, I am confident that I will not lose because of fear!"
Although he felt that things would not go so smoothly, Lin Yuan did not say anything superfluous, so as not to demoralize Sols.
"Another thing to consider is whether other city-states will intervene halfway. ”
Lin Yuan looked at the map of the Bellabet area, and there were three relatively close city-states around the rock city of Sols and the stone city of Beaga.
"Iwaki and Ishiro are really close. ”
The distance between the two city-states marked by Sauls is only a meagre three kilometers.
"Iwaki and Ishijo were originally under the rule of the same lord five hundred years ago, and Iwaki was built as a sub-city of Ishijo, so the two are very close. ”
Sauls said with a calm face: "After the division of the two cities, there have been disputes for hundreds of years, and it is really not a good thing to get too close. ”
"So will other cities get involved in this matter?" Lin Yuan pointed at the other three city-states.
"It's unlikely to intervene," Sauls shook his head, "Beaga and I are both powerful people, and the other cities are afraid of our power and have been wary of us, and they have been expecting the two of us to eat dog, so they are more happy to relax." ”
"However, now that a crystalline vein has appeared," Lin Yuan tapped lightly with a ballpoint pen to the south of Rock City, "With such a huge benefit, who knows if anything will happen." ”
"Indeed, the news leaked out too quickly, and less than a week after we discovered the Magic Crystalline Vein, Beaga came to attack, so when you think about it, the other city-states might be involved. Sauls' brow furrowed.
"Isn't secrecy done well, and loyalty is completely lacking?"
Lin Yuan made up for Sols in his mind.
"Don't you have an alliance that will help you?"
Hearing Lin Yuan say this, Sauls's gaze turned to the further south of the map.
"If you want to say that you are friends, there are. ”
Sauls, on the border between Bellabet and the savannah, drew a new location.
"Tree City, the ruler here, is a powerful man, and can also be said to be half a teacher of mine. ”
"What kind of power does that person have?" Lin Yuan became interested when he heard that there was a new powerhouse.
"Trees, the man's power is to control the trees, and the whole tree city is made by his power. ”
Sauls's tone was tinged with admiration.
"Trees...... This is the so-called positive power?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, "But judging from the things you control, it's far less useful than your negative powers, right?"
"If it is only from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the power of trees is not comparable to my power of pain. ”
Saulse tries to make a fair comparison.
"Although the man can affect the growth rate of the trees and make them stronger, he lacks the immediate effect of directing the trees to attack at will, and this power is quite useful in construction and defense. ”
"Don't forget, that old man is a martial arts master. Rhona looked sideways at her husband.
Sauls couldn't help but smile wryly.
"In hand-to-hand combat, I will definitely not be his opponent, but if you want to deal with a huge combat force such as an army, I am still more powerful. ”
"Let's think of it as a specialization. ”
Lin Yuan cupped his cheeks and asked, "Then that person, is it possible to help you?"
“...... It's hard to say, the matter involves the magic crystal vein, and there is a powerful person, I can't guess the other party's mind at will. Sauls said hesitantly.
"Anyway, I didn't expect too much from it, we people are all the combat power. ”
Lin Yuan took out the magic guide book that was placed on his waist.
"Sols, tell me more about that power of fear. ”
