Chapter 14: Paradox (Part 2)

Lucien, who knew a little more about Salde, took the newspaper and speculated about his intentions: "This is to subtly transform the clergy and night watchmen of the diocese of Holm through theological training, and cultivate their own power......?

Considering that Vera Almorton had already taken charge of the Inquisition of the Diocese of Holm, Lucien admired Salder for the fact that he had taken advantage of the execution of an enlightened nobleman by a few radical Night's Watch men.

"Maybe it's Salder standing behind the Night's Watch...... But what did he really want by doing this? Is it to split the church after it is established? But whether it is the new church he has split in, or the southern church, it will inevitably fall from the first position in the world world at that time, and it will no longer be as beautiful as it is now, and even its own power will be encroached upon by the council, the northern church, the elven royal court, etc., Salder will not be so stupid, right?"

"However, if he is behind the 'Lord of Hell' and his goal is to weaken the Church, that is understandable, but a figure like him will never degenerate from a Holy Spirit to a servant of the devil unless he has the benefit of completely breaking his mind. ”

"Could it be that Salde wants to use the five dioceses as a springboard to the throne after Pope Benedict II is called by the Lord?"

"It has been almost thirty years since Pope Benedict II was crowned, and according to the usual pattern, he will ascend to the Heavenly Mountain in more than twenty years at most, like all the previous popes, and Salde, who still has a long life, can afford to wait for ......"

The short-lived pope who ascended to that position had been noticed by the Council of Magic, but no reasonable explanation could be obtained. The initial suspicion was that he was too close to the "God of Truth" and often borrowed the power of "Him", so that the body and soul could not bear it, and they were quickly assimilated.

Lucien shook his head, flipped through the newspaper casually, and thought to himself: "I hope that Natasha can test Salder to have some results, if he wants to split the church, the members of the Supreme Council will definitely raise their hands and feet in agreement, even if he is the 'Lord of Hell' behind him, they will not worry." The most feared thing is that he is ambitious, trying to provoke the church and the council to war. In this way, the war was used to purge the rebel factions within the five dioceses. Establish a prestige that no one else can match, and finally ascend to the papal throne with the secrets of the necromantic realm. ”

"When the time comes, he is likely to break through the short-lived limit of the previous popes, and that will be bad news for any of the forces. ”

While thinking. Lucien walked towards the top floor of the Royal Magic Tower in Holm. Prepare to return to Alinge through the "Elemental Paradise".

In the gap of the "second battle". Natasha reminded Lucian that the importance of him within the church had not only not decreased with the discovery of the new Xenodimension, but had become more so. Because this is the stage where Lucien is likely to relax his carelessness, a quasi-grand arcanist, the peak of possible legends in the future, must be strangled in the cradle!

Therefore, she told Lucien not to meet with her too often, and she herself would restrain her emotions, and it was best to choose the half-plane jump when traveling back and forth to Alinge.

Walking slowly down the hallway, Lucien encounters numerous members of the Elemental Will, so he greets them with a smile on his face.

The expressions of these magicians were all the same strange, which made Lucien pinch his face in confusion, sniff left and right, he came out after taking a hot bath, there should be no residual smell of love on his body, is there any problem?

"K, why do you have this expression?" When Lucien met the tall and honest K, he found that he also had a strange face, and finally couldn't help but ask.

K's teacher Larry accepted the mandatory task and went out, during this time he has been independently studying "new alchemy", accumulating a lot of questions and wanting to communicate with Lucian, at this time, he forced a smile and scratched his head: "Lucian, you are like a man who has just finished a wedding, with a smirk on his face all the time, and a strange sense of satisfaction and comfort on his body, and he walks a little floating, which should be seen by anyone who has experienced." ”

The implication was that he didn't say much, and it was self-explanatory.

Lucien touched his forehead rather embarrassedly, his spring breeze was so obvious?

So he quickly restrained his smile and tried to make himself look less happy.

After communicating with K for a while, Lucien stepped into the "Elemental Paradise", and after the change of time and space, before he could get used to the vertigo, a pair of silver-gray eyes appeared in front of him.

"Lord Hathaway...... "Lucien had just rolled the sheets with her junior, tasted each other several times, and suddenly saw that she really had the feeling of seeing her "mother-in-law".

Hathaway's beautiful face was expressionless, and she said very seriously: "She is a girl who is very serious about feelings, I hope you don't care like Oliver." ”

Lord Oliver, the Grand Arcanist, has always been used as a negative lesson by the Lady of Reason.

"How my love life has been in the past few years, Lord Hathaway, you should know something. Single-mindedness is the most gentle and powerful force in this world, whether it is arcane and magical research, or emotional life, I uphold this attitude. In the face of the "mother-in-law", Lucien is naturally sincere and solemn.

Hathaway was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and her face seemed to reveal a little unreachable relief because of Natasha and Lucian's affection: "I have seen your performance, if not, I will definitely stop it, if there is a violation in the future, we are enemies." ”

She speaks succinctly, with few embellishments, and a little subtle that doesn't seem to make sense.

Lucien quietly wiped a cold sweat, fortunately he has always been more serious, except for occasional fantasies, even when no one is around, he will abide by his principles, otherwise he will be really sad in front of this kind of "discerning" "mother-in-law": "No matter whether you are poor or rich, whether you are low or noble, whether you are in trouble or enjoyment, whether you are young or old, I will love her, respect her, comfort her, and accompany her." ”

Under the pressure of the "mother-in-law", Lucien had some difficulty organizing the discourse on his own, and simply borrowed and modified the Christian marriage vows on earth.

Hathaway didn't ask any further. Instead, he bowed his head lightly and said: "If you can say it, you can do it, this is a qualified man, I have a little new alchemy problem to discuss with you." ”

Whew, finally passed, Lucien let out a long sigh of relief, discussing arcane issues was much more relaxed than similar topics, especially with a majestic "mother-in-law".

It was only after a long day had passed that Lucien and Hathaway had finished their discussion and returned to Alinge, where they were to go to the councillor to ask for a copy of the priesthood of the diocese of Holm. It is divided in more detail into which ones are likely to be radicals. Which could be retro, and which could be appeasers who wanted peace with the Magical Council, who could recommend Natasha for contact and temptation.

This was the beginning step laid out by Lucien in the "state of the sage", and the course of action was based in part on the English Reformation.

He now admired the decree issued by Henry VIII: "Whoever slanders the king by speech, letter, or deed as a heretic, a schission, a tyrant, or so on...... Those who deny the legitimacy of the king's marriage. It's all rebellious ......"

The magic tower that has just left the Elemental Will Division. Lucian's monocle suddenly became a little hot. So the magic array was opened.

"Lucian, where have you been? Come here, Oliver has a question he wants to discuss with you. The Storm Lord's loud voice rang out.

Lucien hurriedly explained: "Discussing the 'new alchemy' with Lord Hathaway has been delayed all morning......"

Zziz. Fernando had already cut off the electromagnetic communication. He has recently cracked "fission" and "fusion" in reverse and made him very grumpy, how can he be in the mood to listen to Lucian's explanation.

Closing the monocle, Lucien raised his eyebrows, the teacher had already made Lord Oliver accept the initial acceptance, and the efficiency was quite high......

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

On the thirty-third floor of the Alinge Magic Tower, Lucien stepped into the study of his teacher, Fernando.

Fernando was writing and drawing on the paper, and when he saw Lucien coming in, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Today is your birthday, and you went on a date with the 'queen' last night?"

"Huh?" Lucien secretly suspected that there was something wrong with him, how could the teacher see it?

As soon as he saw Lucian's expression, Fernando immediately laughed obscenely: "Sure enough, I have no experience, I cheated you, but you can see that you are dating Natasha, and you can guess it without prophecy." ”

"For what?" Lucien asked subconsciously.

Fernando smiled and said, "I smell the 'smell' of estrus on your body from a long distance, how is it, do you feel that your life has entered a new stage?"

Lucien was speechless.

"What a shock to me, I thought you were going to be procrastinating for years before making progress, it's only been a few days? I wonder if you're my student Lucien!Did you finally decide to let go after being stimulated by me last time?" Fernando scoffed at Lucian, "But, in this way, I'm relieved, Natasha is completely in the hands of the Parliament, and we will try to help you get to the position of Prince Nexer, which marks the full upside of the Parliament in Holm, but it will take time, don't worry." Lucian, you're such a rare sparkling gem, and you can study arcane arts, and you can use beauty tricks......"

This incident made Fernando feel good, and the more he talked about it, the more outrageous it became, but he didn't seem to be happy that Lucian's feelings had finally broken through because of the Council's encroachment on Holm again.

The Prince of Nexer is the title of the Queen's husband, derived from the title of the prince who built the Nexer Palace.

"Teacher, what about Lord Oliver?" Lucien quickly changed the subject.

As soon as the arcane problem was mentioned, Fernando became serious, and led Lucien into his half-plane, where he met Oliver in a white hair cover, and I have to say that he was indeed a graceful and elegant middle-aged man.

"Evans, Fernando showed me your paper, and at first I really couldn't accept it, thinking that kind of view of time and space was absurd and wrong, but after I thought about it carefully, I found that this view had already germinated in my heart, but because of the constraints of past experience and common sense, I did not dare to take a bold step. Oliver said with a graceful smile.

Lucien breathed a sigh of relief, this man who didn't seem to know the shattering and solidification of the world: "Your Excellency Oliver, if you can accept it preliminarily, I will be relieved." ”

"In fact, when studying the theory of electromagnetism, I and many magicians in the electromagnetic department tried to fuse the theory of His Excellency the Speaker with the theory of Brugg to build a unified real arcane system that can be used in all aspects, after all, the origin of everything should have a common essence, this essence can be called magic, it can be called arcane, it can also be called real, but it will certainly not be two different systems. Oliver said of his ideals.

Finding a system that explains everything is the common wish of any magician aspiring to the arcane path, and the "great unity" of truth is the quest that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, starting with the Magic Empire!

"In the process of merging, we found a lot of problems and contradictions, but we have not been able to effectively solve them due to the 'inability to let go of the common sense of the past', and based on these experiences, I have a similar point of view, so it is relatively easy to accept your paper, and I believe that many electromagnetic, light and dark arcanists are also the same. Of course, the unacceptable must occupy the majority. Oliver explained it a little bit.

Lucien nodded slightly, originally expected that this "relative view of time and space" would be in the position of everyone's attack, but he didn't expect that the magicians of the electromagnetic, light and dark factions that he was not familiar with had already had a good idea on this issue - this kind of subversive idea, of course, Oliver and others would not publish it directly in the paper, but carefully discussed it privately, ready to submit it with a formed idea and strong evidence, therefore, Lucian did not know what to do.

Oliver changed his words: "But there are still many problems with your paper, and I want to discuss them with you today." ”

"Couldn't be more than happy. Lucien walked over to the couch next to Oliver and sat down, and Fernando was ready to join the discussion.

Oliver took out a pen and paper and said, "It's about relativity and the slowing down of time, for example, we can imagine a simplified experiment in which there are two twins of the same age, and the elder brother flies towards the depths of the starry sky at a speed very close to the speed of light, and the younger brother stands still, and when the elder brother arrives at a planet that takes fifteen years for light to shine on, and immediately returns, who will be younger when he meets his younger brother?"

"In the case of the younger brother, he is not moving, it is the elder brother who is flying away at close to the speed of light, and according to the formula of the faster the speed, the slower the time, his older brother should obviously be younger. ”

But from the elder brother's point of view, according to the principle of relativity, he can use himself as a point of rest, so it becomes the younger brother to move away from him at a speed close to the speed of light, which obviously means that the younger brother should be younger. ”

This becomes a paradox. ”

Lucien smiled, sure enough, the question. (To be continued......)
