Chapter Eighty-Five: The Quest for a Thousand Years (Part 2)

Inside the "True Secret Realm".

Douglas, who has always worn a tuxedo, "changed" into a black robe, which was majestic and imposing.

This black magic robe is a typical ancient magic empire style, deep and dark, without a trace of light, but under the cover of darkness, there seem to be countless magic patterns looming, adding a mysterious temperament to Douglas.

At this moment, Douglas is not like a kind elder, but more like his nickname, "Arcane Emperor"!

With his hands behind his back, he stood in front of the magic array composed of countless silver-white lines and the crystal clear gem gate, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lucien saw such a scene after coming out of the "elevator", so he smiled: "I don't seem to see the speaker of the Magic Council, but I met the archon of the ancient magic empire. ”

Douglas coughed lightly, turned his head, and smiled: "When I was a child, I was very envious of such a style of magician, and I bowed down to His Excellency the 'Starlight Light', the consul of the Magic Empire of Sylvanus at that time, so I imitated them after becoming an official magician, until the fall of the Magic Empire, and had to survive in the shadows. ”

His words carried a faint memory and emotion, as if his heart was not as calm as it seemed, and at this critical moment when he might find the sun, even after thousands of years and countless encounters, it was difficult for him to maintain a calm state of mind. After all, this is the "thing" he has pursued for most of his life, and it is the desire of generations of magicians since the establishment of the astral system!

"The magician costumes of the past were indeed mysterious and majestic, but they were too gloomy, too oppressive and too frightening. Lucien replied casually, anyway, he preferred double-breasted long dresses, tuxedos and other clothing styles, "Teacher and Mr. Begner didn't come?"

Fernando and "Prophet" Begner were one of Douglas's few remaining friends, how could such an important moment not appear?

Douglas laughed: "The urgent need to stabilize the reactor made Fernando impatient, and he and Hathaway were busy with detailed experiments on neutrons, trying to discover the mystery as soon as possible, and he was not optimistic about the results of my 'search' for the sun this time." So I used practical actions to 'cool down' my expectant mind. lest I be struck by too much disappointment. ”

"Yes, there is no hope without expectations. Lucien said humorously, and then bowed his head slightly, "The teacher has always thought that the reason why I can't find a planet must have something to do with the strangeness of the depths of the endless ocean. We don't unravel the secret of what you can't do to fly around the world. You can't find the planet. This is not something that can be explained by the effect of 'gravitational lensing' alone. ”

Hearing Lucien repeat Fernando's point, Douglas gave him a keen look, "You think so too?"

If Lucien disagrees with this view, he won't waste time repeating it.

"My teacher and I have similar views. But ......," Lucien replied honestly.

"But if you don't give it a try, how can you know what the problem is?" Douglas showed no irritation, and followed Lucian's tone to show his attitude.

Lucien nodded: "I think the same way, sometimes, knowing that a certain experimental design is wrong, we have to complete it completely, because in special circumstances, the experience of failure is more valuable and can help us find the right path,"

Douglas smiled, "Your arcane philosophy and attitude will help you grow all the time. ”

Then he mentions the "prophets": "Begner, after the uncertainty of the principle, fell into a state of confusion, originally because of the general theory of relativity, he had the hope of becoming a legendary third-order in a short time, but now he has stagnated again, like Donald and them, if it were not for the fact that there were no decisive experiments and phenomena at that time, he would have known that the world has collapsed." ”

"However, in recent years, in microscopic experiments, probabilistic interpretation and uncertainty principles have received more and more attention. Lucien deliberately emphasized.

Douglas sighed, "yes." ”

He didn't say more, because he also couldn't accept Lucian's probabilistic interpretation and uncertainty principle, of course, his disacceptance was not that he didn't face up to the experimental facts, but that Lucian, like Fernando, disagreed with them as the essential properties of microscopic particles, and believed that there should be hidden factors or variables that were not discovered for the time being that caused this probabilistic and uncertain performance, and if the hidden variables were included, it was actually still in line with determinism.

"So, Mr. Begner doesn't want to see me?" said Lucien humorously.

Douglas smiled and shook his head: "No, the real reason is that he is busy building the 'Cosmic Observatory', okay, let's get ready to go." ”

He took a deep breath and reached out his right hand against the crystal clear door encrusted with magical gems.

The silver-white lines lit up one after another, blooming with brilliant brilliance, and huge energy surged from every corner of the magic tower, from every place in the "True Secret Realm".

The bright blue sky outside the window suddenly darkened, so dark that not even a star could be seen, and after the huge energy rushed into the "teleportation door", it was like a river flowing into the ocean, without causing a single ripple.

I don't know how long it has been, the magic gems of different colors on the "Teleportation Gate" are shining at the same time, dazzling, and the void in the middle of the "Gate" is also covered with layers of changing light, and there are countless magic runes flowing inside.

Bright "stones" flew out of Douglas's storage bag, some were golden blue, some were sea blue, and some were pure red, and they surrounded Douglas's head, like artificial planets surrounding the world.

Shrouded in these stones, Douglas bowed slightly to Lucian, and stepped into the layers of distorted light.

Lucien had been watching the magic circle from the side, learning the knowledge of time and space contained in it, which was the private product of countless experiences and was better than the ones Lucian had exchanged from the High Arcane Library.

Douglas asked him to come and "chase" the sun together, which included the meaning of instructing him to jump in ultra-long-range space - the last time Lucian teleported to the universe, the distance was relatively close, and it could not be called ultra-long-range.

Seeing that Douglas's figure was gradually transparent in the light, Lucien did not delay, and a layer of colorful elemental light was condensed on the "Grand Arcanist's robe", and then followed.

Time and space change, the sky is spinning, deep and dark, even if Lucien is already a legendary third-order magician, he can't help but have the "illusion" of separation of spirit and flesh and collapse of the body, the whole person is like a residual candle in the wind, swaying, it seems that it will be extinguished at any time, and if any archmage comes, he may be completely "lost" in this ultra-long-range space jump, annihilation and disappear.

Suddenly, Lucian's soul shook, his body had no sense of dissipation, and it was condensed again, and there were layers of clear and changing light in front of him.

As the layers of light disappeared, Lucien felt that he was in the universe, and countless cosmic curse rays were quietly attacking, so his spiritual power shook the void and sent out strange and difficult incantations that he couldn't hear:

"The Scepter of Time and Space!"

A little bit of light stands out, converging into a dreamlike scepter of light, creating a cascading sense of time and space around Lucien.

Resisting the rays of danger, Lucien had time to unfold his mental force field and look around.

There was no fireball so hot that it could melt everything, no unbearable heat, it was still a cold darkness, endless darkness with no end in sight, and in this darkness, a little bit of clear and translucent white light was quietly embedded on it.

In front of Lucien, Douglas, dressed in black magic robes, was facing away from him, and the brilliant "stones" circled around his head, and different legendary magic completely enveloped him.

In the silent universe, Douglas did not try to communicate with Lucien with a telepathic connection, just quietly and silently floating in place, "looking" at the position where the "sun" should appear in the calculation like a stone statue.

He was tall, although he was not burly, but he was not thin, but at this time, looking at his straight back, Lucian suddenly felt an inexplicable gloom and desolation, even if he had predicted this outcome, his psychology was quite uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the telepathic connection stretched, and Lucien didn't stop it.

"Looks like we've failed again......" Douglas said in a calm tone, with only a slight wry smile.

Lucien was about to say a few words of consolation, but heard Douglas continue: "It seems that I still have a lot of factors that I haven't taken into account, the mysteries of the universe are really fascinating, okay, let's go back, I hope to find traces of their existence next time." ”

The bitterness disappeared, leaving only the doubts of "what for what" and the simple prospect of the future, without the slightest loss of motivation.

"Good. Lucien couldn't help but smile, and then took a deep look at the calculated position where the "sun" should appear, where it was dark and cold, as if it was hiding a hideous and terrifying beast.

Maybe it's time to take a trip to the end of the endless ocean or the moonlit sea of the Dark Mountains......

3. Inside the General Education School.

After Ali left the dormitory, he braved the cold of early spring and walked to the school gate, feeling uneasy, today is the time to announce the results of the monthly examination, can his efforts be rewarded accordingly?

This feeling of anticipation and worry made him unable to calm down, and he did not have the energy to think about other issues, but he habitually walked to the school gate and asked if there was a letter of his own.

"Ali, your letter. "Schott already knew the young man who came to ask once a day.

"What?" Ali forgot his worries for a moment, and ecstasy welled up in his heart. (To be continued......)

PS: The second is to ask for a monthly pass~

It's the penultimate day, and it's a waste if you don't vote~
