The wind is cool but cool, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, this is the scene of the golden moon in Alinge.

"So, I like Alinge's October the most......" Tang Pu, a member of the committee, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with his black teacup, looking at the scenery outside.

He sighed, turned around, pushed the gold-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said to his student Condon, "You only knocked on the door and came in on your own, are you in a hurry?"

Tang Pu was easy-going, pleasant to friends, students, and subordinates, and did not pay much attention to etiquette, so he did not blame Condon too much for his rash intrusion.

As he spoke, he closed the task report on his desk, which was the rule of the committee, and people who should not see it, even his own students, could not see it.

This mission report is the one submitted by Katrina, because the "cause and effect" of the "demon worship incident" have been clearly investigated by her, so this report has not been taken seriously in the mission area, and the high-level magician on duty at the time casually flipped through it, and thought that the matter was conclusive, and judged that Katrina's mission was completed, and the report was naturally classified in the archives.

However, Tang Pu himself attaches great importance to this "demon worship incident", because it has a certain degree of similarity with a series of events such as summoning ancient devils and believing in devil dukes that have occurred in recent years in Rentat, Kuks, the four countries of the Strait and the coastal corridor of the Northland, but it is fundamentally different.

So, after he was busy with the business at hand, he called up this report, ready to conduct a detailed analysis and comparison, to see if there was really a Demon King who also began to develop the power of faith. Or maybe it had other purposes, but most importantly, he wanted to find out if the incident was independent or if it was in addition to a series of events that took place within the Magical Council's rule, so as to find the "Death Bird" behind the scenes.

It's a pity that from this report, only the fact that a great knight has increased his strength by worshipping demons.

"However, some of the details are too coincidental, but the person concerned is completely dead, and after such a long time, it is basically impossible to continue the investigation. Can I still go to the Abyss and ask the 'Lord of Darkness'? Is it true that Viscount André admires you?Or grab Death Storm Ninel and ask him to truthfully confess what he likes about him as a student?"

Condon across from him was a tall, young-looking, lanky man with sunken cheeks. The skin was "burned" into a dark red as if it had been exposed to too much sunlight. In his right eye, he wears a monocle in style. The voice was as rapid as rain hitting leaves, "I'm sorry, teacher, after I knocked on it." The door opened a crack on its own, and I thought you let me in......"

Tang Pu knew the student's impatient but honest character very well, and said suspiciously: "The door opened by itself, and I didn't close it?"

"Well, uh, I ran into Afrith in the hallway, and he looked very satisfied......" Condon suddenly remembered something.

Tang Pu bared his teeth in distress: "...... Whatever it is, what's the matter?"

He made a bet with Afrith some time ago, thinking that it was unlikely that he would be deceived by Averis's illusions, especially in the Alinge Magic Tower, so if Afrith could take anything from his office without the help of others, he would have to open the treasure trove and let it pick a lot of gems, and now it seems that ...... But it's okay to let your guard down.

"Teacher, Lord Evans has submitted a paper called 'Determinism, Self-Awareness, and the Roots of Magic', which constructs a model of the nature of magic, and although there are still many unsolved questions, such as what magic patterns can help communicate the 'real world' and what is the hidden principle of its function, it also opens a new door for us to study the nature of magic and supernatural power...... Someone stumbled upon this paper in the Arcane Library today and it immediately caused a sensation......"

Condon seemed a little excited, coupled with his impatient personality, a series of words were like a storm blowing, and Tang Pu could barely react: "Stop, stop, give me the paper first!"

For a high-ranking arcanist, it was much easier to read a paper than to listen to such an excited description.

Taking the paper borrowed by Condon, Tang Pu glanced at the date, and said in surprise and relief: "I submitted it three days ago? No wonder it wasn't published in Arcane or Magic......

Generally speaking, as long as the Great Arcanist's paper has a certain value, the journal will not reject it, and will rush to ask for it, but Lucien basically only publishes in "Arcane", "Nature" and "Elements", and occasionally writes for the "General Arcanist Monthly", so such an important paper, "Arcane" will definitely not let go, and because it is about the nature of magic, the "Magic" journal will obviously not let others publish it.

He continued to flip through it, frowning slightly at the front part, the determinism looked like it was stormy!

However, as Lucien spoke, his brow furrowed completely, pushing his gold-rimmed glasses from time to time, and whispering, "The observer effect is not completely ridiculous...... The idea that the material foundation is not 'solid' is very novel, but if this is the case, why is everything so normal in the absence of magic and extraordinary power, is it still to blame for the mysterious stage of transition from the micro level to the macro level...... Hey, Lucien has a lot of thoughts on that...... Weak observers and strong observers......"

He was completely immersed in the paper, and even though the paper was not confirmed by any experiments or phenomena, and the "observer effect" was rejected by the parliamentary mainstream, it was logically self-consistent and seemed to be the real thing.

Not surprised by the teacher's reaction, Condon picked up the quill on the table and recorded some of the teacher's questions and opinions on scratch paper.

“...... The energy to replenish spiritual power comes from the 'True World Realm'? The excess material replenishment in magic comes from the 'True World Realm'? Huh......" Tang Pu seemed to remember something in his doubts, quickly turned around, and pulled out this issue of "Elements" from the bookshelf, and then he held the golden silk eye, and said in a rather shocking tone, "Isn't this the problem that the 'Negative Energy State Vacuum Sea' can solve?"

"Yes, the arcanists who saw this paper at that time couldn't help but think of the 'vacuum sea of negative energy', which just solved the most fundamental problems in Lord Evans's paper on the nature of magic!" Condon's ears were very pointed, and he heard the teacher's self-talk, and said excitedly, "They are one after the other, one is dedicated to the source of magical energy, and the other gives conjectures about the nature of magic, which together form a complete magic system!"

The magic system he said was not the same thing as the spell system.

"I'm afraid this is the first formal model of the essence of magic with theoretical support since the beginning of magic, no, it should be a model of all extraordinary powers. Tang Pu was also tainted with a hint of excitement.

In the history of magic, the earliest magicians have already questioned what the essence of magic is, and put forward their own ideas, such as the four elemental systems of earth, fire, feng and shui - ancient magicians constructed a conjecture about the bottom of the world, believing that there is an energy plane composed purely of the same element, and named it the fire element country, the water element ocean, etc., such as the root system - they believe that there is a magic root, which is a real part of the world......

These magical landscapes are still influencing generations of magicians to this day, as evidenced by terms such as the fire element, but the ancient magicians did not explore the world enough, and the magical landscapes were all imaginary, without any theoretical basis, and belonged to the fantasy level, not the model in the arcane definition.

In the heyday of the ancient magic empire, magicians paid more attention to normal research and application, and no one thought about the ethereal nature of magic, anyway, it was enough to know that the spiritual power of the Dao was a condition for casting magic, so even if he was as great as the Sun King Thanos, he did not propose a model of the essence of magic.

Since the establishment of the Magic Council, the nature of magic has been studied, but due to the lack of other theories, the progress of this research has been very slow, so the rigorous Douglas and others did not rashly put forward their own model of the nature of magic, lest the fantastical ideas affect other arcanists.

It is only today that Tang Pu really sees a model that describes magic in its essence and roots, and it builds on the cutting-edge results of the current microscopic field!

Whether this model is correct or not, it is of sufficient historical significance...... Tang Pu suddenly was in a trance, and he had once again witnessed history, which seemed to have happened a lot in the past ten years.

Condon said excitedly: "So some people have already called the results described in these two papers the 'Evans-Tel Aviv model', the first model of the essence of magic!"

After the two discussed for a while, Condon offered his farewell, saying that he would go back and study it carefully.

Watching him fold the scratch paper and carefully put it into the storage bag, Tang Recipe was a little amused, and then watched him walk to the door.

Suddenly, Tang Pu came to his senses and said loudly: "Stop!"

But by this time, Condon had already stepped into the hallway!

He turned around sharply, and a layer of white mist rose around him, and when the white mist subsided, it turned into a small crystal dragon with beautiful scales.

It dragged out a big ice cream from under its belly, stretched out its tongue, licked and ate it with great satisfaction, and said in a childish and proud voice: "Tang Pu, you lost!"

While you're thinking about something, you distract yourself by finding the door closed and "Averies" passing by, and indulge yourself with papers, and your personality is exactly the same as Condon's, except that you take the scratch paper on which you record the discussions...... Thinking back on this, Tang Pu had to admit that Afrith had made a new breakthrough in his understanding of illusion, but it was he who suffered!

After watching Afrith leave with an ugly face, Tang Pu couldn't help but continue to study the content of Lucian's paper: "...... Weak observer...... Strong observer ......"

He was suddenly stunned, thinking of the recent investigation, and said faintly with fear: "The accumulation of faith power is a special electromagnetic wave convergence on the surface, but it is actually a convergence of weak observers, evolving into strong observers?"

"This ......"

What will those who are good at "playing" with the power of faith think of this paper? (To be continued......
