Chapter 103: The Birth of a Custom

The square near the Boulevard du Roses in Rentat is bustling with people.

This is the habit of many Rentat citizens, who walk to the nearest square after dinner and wait for the "Voice of Mysteries" to begin, but as the activity of ordering newspapers and delivering magic radios deepens, it is no longer crowded with people in its heyday, of course, in absolute numbers.

"Hello everyone, FM 592.6M Holtz, this is the 'Voice of Mystery', I am your old friend Nightingale, thank you for listening to our program at this time......" As the sweet voice familiar as if they were their own family came out of the speaker, all the listeners focused their attention and stopped talking and laughing with their companions around them, and after experiencing the last live broadcast, they have been able to restore the appearance of Miss Nightingale according to the voice.

After one program after another, it seems that it is time to come to the "magic lecture hall" that everyone doesn't understand well but is full of interest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to explain how to prevent superficial hypnotic spells...... Before ......the magnetic male voice had finished speaking, a slightly piercing shrill sound came from the speaker, and then, the sharpness disappeared, turning into the noisy current sound of Zzzz, but everything quickly returned to normal, except that the low, magnetic male voice reverted back to the sweet and moving but excited and trembling voice of the "Nightingale":

"Listeners, listeners, this is the 'Voice of Mysteries', and now a news ......"

"What's going on?" the audience looked at each other, having experienced temporary signal interruptions before, but never before had they recovered so quickly. And the program has been changed!

Break the news?

It's something they've never experienced before, so they can't react to it for a while.

In aristocratic villas, in commoner buildings, and in various schools, the listeners who were listening to the "Voice of Mysteries" all had similar expressions, wondering what was going on, and that there was such a peculiar form of interstitial news.

............

In the "Atomic Research Institute", because Reilia, who teleported with the students, told Heidi, Annick and others about the vision of "two suns in the sky", they decided to pay for the teleportation and return to the surface early. I want to know what happened to Lu Dao for the first time.

It's both curious. I also hope to be prepared for all kinds of bad situations in the shortest possible time, after all, if you stay in the universe, if something goes wrong on the ground, you will probably not be able to return. Wait until the energy is depleted. It is the ending of the "Space Floating Corpse". For similar reasons, none of them who had yet started a family had left the Alinge Magic Tower, but instead applied for nighttime access to the lab.

"Heidi. You've discovered a new particle?" The vision of the two suns had been discussed for an entire afternoon plus dinner, so Reilia couldn't help but change the subject and ask about Heidi's discovery.

Seeing the sparkling curious eyes of Reilia, Ophelia and other friends, Heidi smiled with satisfaction: "After repeated confirmation, it is a new particle that is different from the discovered particles, with a mass of about two hundred times that of electrons, and it is very fast. ”

"A new particle, does the number of elementary particles not conform to the 'principle' of 'simplicity'. "The more essential things are, the simpler is the philosophical view that many Arcanists believe, just like the magical "symmetry" that is prevalent, so Roque said suspiciously as he took off his black top hat and flicked the dust that didn't exist on it.

"For now, we can only respect the results of the experiment, maybe the elementary particles are not fundamental?" Heidi said, modelling on Lucian's famous phrase "a vacuum is not empty", and then she looked at the wall clock on the laboratory wall and cheered, "The 'Voice of Mysteries' begins!"

She seems to prefer the "Voice of Mysteries" to the "Real Channel of the World Realm".

Roque said with a little emotion: "It's possible." By the way, has the discovery of new particles given you feedback from the 'real world'?"

"It's generous. Heidi replied with a bright smile on her face.

"Hehe, Heidi, haven't you been complaining that you haven't won the Holm Crown Award or other awards? Katrina was happy for her friend.

Heidi shook her head and said expectantly: "Discovering new particles should not be available, unless it is a very important new particle, such as the one predicted by Lord Hathaway, or the introduction of a 'new method' to discover new particles, I still honestly wait for the breakthrough of artificial intelligence." ”

"Isn't it the kind that Lord Hathaway predicted?" Annick, Katrina and the others were quite surprised, judging from the properties measured so far, the new particle is very similar to the kind of "meson" predicted by Lord Hathaway.

Heidi pursed her lips: "You have to experiment whether it participates in strong interactions to know that it is not the way, and at present, we can only default to not." ”

Watching her companions pick up the highest awards in different fields one by one, how could she not have a little idea and desire in her heart, but this will not prevent her from making rational judgments for the time being, because she is becoming more and more confident in the prospects of artificial intelligence, believing that sooner or later she will win a certain top award, even the Evans Arcane Award, because of this.

In the middle of the discussion, they suddenly heard the voice of Zizzi coming from the magic radio, which caught their attention.

"Listeners, listeners, this is the 'Voice of Mysteries', and now a news ......"

After the nightingale's voice sounded, Heidi and the others' expressions immediately became solemn, if there was anything worth interjecting like this, it was obviously a strange situation of two suns during the day!

For a moment, the Atomic Research Institute was unusually quiet, except for the sweet voice coming from the magic radio:

"According to the announcement just issued by the Supreme Council of Parliament, at 11:37 a.m. Rentatt time today, the Grand Arcanist, Legendary Mage, and member of the Supreme Council, His Excellency Lucien Evans, 'Atomic Master', was in standard cosmic coordinates...... The discovery of the sun at the location confirmed the existence of the planet, causing an unprecedented feedback from the 'real world', causing an anomaly of two suns in the sky. ”

"Do not be alarmed by the witnesses of this anomaly, for this is not the end of the world. And on the contrary, it marks the most solid step in the exploration of the universe by our intelligent beings, and we will no longer be bothered by the existence of planets. ”

"Although His Excellency Evans' own harvest is certainly very rich, it is far less than the significance of his discovery to all our intelligent life, and the great effect that the planet has proven to be for all Arcanists, this is a small step for Lord Evans, but it is a big leap for all our intelligent life, and it is a great monument to our exploration of the world and the universe......"

The news is full of praise, but when I hear Heidi and others, I don't think there is any exaggeration, even if it is not discovered by my own teacher. Changed to any of the legendary magicians. They will also congratulate them from the bottom of their hearts, trembling with excitement. Without a deep study of the arcane arts, and without reading the history of the Council of Magic, you will never understand how important this discovery is to the Arcanists. What a huge significance.

"I've finally found the sun. It's been hidden for a long time......" Ophelia sighed in a light voice. This has been so long that some arcanists suspect that this is not a real world, and that it is a "testing ground" for some powerful god.

Heidi, Annick and the others subconsciously looked out the window, and the night outside was like ink. Only the light of the street lamps reflected from below, but in their eyes, the darkness disappeared without a trace, and the clear light illuminated the entire world.

The "deep darkness" that has shrouded magic since the beginning of the ancient magic empire was dispelled by the "sun" at this moment!

Heidi stood up excitedly, as if trying to do something, but stopped with some hesitation.

"Heidi, what do you want to do?" asked Reiria, holding back her trembling and wondering.

Heidi raised her arm: "I want to cheer, I want to shoot a big fireball into the sky, and the sound of that explosion is our clarion call for victory!"

"I want to, too. The rebellious Sprint clearly liked the idea, but Alinge had strict regulations.

Annick, who was relatively calm, looked at Heidi and the others, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart, if Alinge didn't have so many regulations, maybe there would have been big fireballs shooting into the sky by now, explosions were endless, and the sky was full of flames - magicians always like to use all kinds of fierce means to express their joy when they are excited, and their best is undoubtedly spells.

"What a spectacle that would be......"

............

In the square, in the villa, in the building, in the school, with the broadcast of "The Nightingale", the listeners were stunned.

Since the magicians have never been able to find the planet and cannot prove the correctness of their celestial systems and gravitational theories, the church has been attacking them in this regard, some preach that their blasphemy has made the Lord cover the starry sky and prevent them from seeing the truth of the world, some ridicule their arcane research as a building with no foundation at all, and will collapse at any time, and anyone who follows the magic council and worships the arcane is an idiot who has no discernment.

Although the arcane is proving itself right step by step, winning the support of most of the people in the four countries of the Strait and the Northland coastal corridor, making them full of curiosity and awe of the arcane, the "stars in the sky" have not been discovered for a day, and the people who have listened to the theory of the church will always have reservations in their hearts.

When the Southern Church was expelled from the Church, the populaces who had acknowledged the rule of the Council of Magic began to be like the Arcanists, desperate to find the planet and prove that it was not the Lord's punishment and that their betrayal was not blasphemous.

And now, the good news hit their hearts so suddenly that they fell asleep for a while.

"Hooray!"

A shout broke the silence, and a gentleman who looked rather temperamental excitedly took off his black top hat and threw it into the sky with all his might, as if this was not enough to vent his inner excitement.

As the silence was broken, the cheers erupted like a tsunami, and the populace, influenced by the first gentleman, took off their hats and threw them into the sky.

Wearing hats was the trend in Rentat, so the air was densely packed with hats, black top hats, yarkes and everyday caps, wide-brimmed hats with beautiful ribbons and tassels, small floppy hats inlaid with feathers and flowers, and hazy gauze hats with veils......

"Hooray!"

Looking at the tossed hats and hearing the sound of the mountains and tsunamis, a reporter from the Lentat Weekly subconsciously wrote: "Maybe after today, there will be one more custom in the kingdom, the custom of throwing hats to celebrate." ”

All sorts of hats rained down. (To be continued......)
