Chapter 57: Excellence
Chapter 57 Excellence
"Exactly, where did you learn these things?" said Jim, smiling, tapping on the table. ^^ (remember our web address)
"I was studying at the graduate school and still had some impressions of this symptom, the most famous case of Blue Cassia was the mage Pelisser, who claimed to have traveled to six dimensional worlds and wrote three books on space travel, but in the end he could not remember a dazzling light. â
"Plesser, I love his travel journal, it's wonderful", Jim nodded and stood up, "I actually keep his book, the original version", he looked at the shelves, "right here", his index finger ran over a row of books, "...... It's been so long that I can't remember where I put it. â
"When you say the original version, you mean...... A 300-year-old parchment manuscript?" Katrina jumped almost excitedly, "That's the earliest work on plane travel, ushering in the era of spells for plane teleportation, and those books were completely banned because they were suspected of being unwarranted fantasies, and they were very rare on redstone"
"That's right, that's it, it's a completely different magical world for the world, and we fools know about the space beyond the Redstone Continent, hahaha", Jim was infected by that feeling, he quickly flipped through the bookshelf, "I remember putting it here." By the way, there were no less than twenty planes he had traveled, and only six were recorded in detail, and there were records of other planes in the manuscripts, where was it?" he looked blankly at the shelves, and the old books smelled musty.
Dull conversation, Tarrant resisted the urge to yawn, and the other two also showed bored expressions, the two mages were discussing a disease that caused premature aging, and this disease happened to one of them, it was unimaginable, he was more curious about whether Jim was a great grandmaster-level mage.
Katrina pulled out an old book from the shelf, "Our World, you've read this book too?"
"Ah, I don't remember exactly," Jim walked up to her, "What's that?"
The author argues that our world is not the whole structure, that there is a wider space beyond the sky, and that the sun and moon we see are part of the sky. â
"Yes, that's true," Jim said, taking the book and putting it back on the shelf, "but he's wrong part, you've heard...... Is the yen theoretical? It seems to be the name. â
"The heliosphere theory", Catrina corrected, "thinks that the sun is a sphere with a vast space on it. â
"Yes, yes, the heliosphere theory, in fact it is impossible, as we feel, when the sun rises, the sun appears, it brings us warmth, the sun has a temperature, and when it travels to other empires, it gets dark and the temperature drops. â
Katrina nodded.
"But ignoring the factor of distance, even though it looks like it's only the size of a dinner plate, the sun is still outside the sky, and most of its heat transfer to the ground has been lost, and its own heat is much greater than we feel, even melting iron. â
"A burning continent?"
"I used to think so," Jim walked to a desk, "but in the end I denied that there could be no zĂ i in the land that could melt iron, there were only two possibilities, it was a ball of energy that constantly emitted light and heat, or a ball of fire that continued to burn. â
Tarrant looked at Conasius with a dry cough, is Jim already crazy?
Catrina followed Jim earnestly, "What do you think, then......?" The sun is a ball of energy sustained by a magic weapon. â
"Ritual Instruments...... That's right, that's what I said, nothing lasts for hundreds or thousands of years, it's a magical artifact, a gift from God. â
"I read that," Katrina recalls.
"Look at this", Jim cleared a large chunk of garbage and removed a mechanism from which two wires were attached, each with a sphere hanging from it.
"A hobby of making toys?" Kirawiton leaned against the wall, a bottle in her hand, her gaze falling on the darkness outside the window.
"It's a simulation, that's how our world exists", Jim smiled and protested, "The ball in the middle represents our redstone, and the balls on both sides are the sun and the moon", he pulled the hinge, the rusty machine didn't turn, Jim shook it twice, "Sorry, this is what I did a long time ago, it may not work", he tried to turn again, and the spheres on both sides began to rotate slowly around the center, "Ah, it still works, look", he showed everyone in the room, "That's how they work." â
"Wait, wait", Tarrant stopped his hand, "It's a ball, you want to use this to represent the continent?"
"Our continent is round," Jim replied calmly, "for when the sun disappears in Iberon it will rise again from the land of tranquility, and it will spin and circle the redstone." â
"Hah...... Hah", Tarrant looked at Katrina, "The 'mages' think redstone is round, we're standing on a ball, why didn't we fall...... Hah", he shook his head, 'mages' are strange creatures.
"That's where I'm wondering," Jim tossed the device back into the trash, "why are we still standing here, but unfortunately I don't have much time." I also have a research journal about the moon, the moon is a continent, I believe that it does not emit light by itself, like the surface of the instrument, the light from the sun is refracted on the moon, let me look for it, it is too chaotic here. â
"Back to the point," Kirawyton interrupted the discussion from afar, "You're a Grand Master-level mage?"
"No...... I'm not sure, I don't go out very much", Jim's expression was sincere, "I can't remember what people say about me, the few friends I have haven't shown up for a while." â
"Blue Kasya's disease is considered to be the punishment of the wise, and the mage who studied this symptom speculated that it was a side effect caused by intelligence exceeding one's own limit," Katrina said, "The average person's mental limit is 18, and those mages are above 30, almost twice the value, which is the only common denominator of their disease." â
"No", Jim smiled wryly, "I believe it was the influence of the fourth degree thirty-four and the sixth, I tried the coordinates of Pelisser's memory, and in that space I saw myself, and fear, which may be stored in my own mind", he patted his head, "in fact, I was traveling in my own space, I couldn't resist my fear, I cast a spell to wipe out my memory, I can't remember exactly, Pelasse's diary warned of this, I failed." He was so great that he faced the unknown without guidance, and I could only find a little solace in his notes. â
What is he talking about...... Tarrant's only thought, he hoped that Catrina could translate it, but Catrina shook her head helplessly, the people present could not understand Jim's words, these words made Tarrant feel that he was standing in a mage meeting, constantly new questions, new terms, incomprehensible theories, he would be driven crazy in such an environment.
"Blue Kashya went in the wrong direction, he just said the symptoms, and I hope you don't be misled by him," Jim said to Katrina, "The increase in intelligence will not affect the body, but you may find yourself more and more ignorant." â
"Okay, damn old man, you're a Grand Grandmaster-level mage?" Kirawiton slammed his fist against the wall.
"Dimensional teleportation is already at the level of a Grand Master", Tarrant was sure of this, he had learned the basics on the bookshelves of the Faith Shop.
"I don't think so, plane teleportation is just an introductory spell, a necessity to knock on the door of the plane, if you want to get a wonderful trip, you must learn plane positioning, plane reversal", Jim walked towards the magic cabinet, "I have some wine here", the moment he opened the cabinet door, a frost came out of it.
The team stared at him vigilantly, and Jim pulled out a large black bottle, Du Mu wine, "Do you want some?"
"What's going on with this cabinet?" Tarrant was more interested in that one.
"Ah, a small design, just like the Spirit Pattern Bag, this cabinet does the same thing as the Spirit Pattern Bag, but with a slight advantage in space", Jim took out four wine glasses, and there were some inconspicuous black spots on the inner walls of the wine glasses.
"What's the matter with Frost?"
"Oh," Jim said, placing the cup on the metal cabinet, "I don't go out much, so I have to prepare food for a long time, and freezing keeps it fresh, so I made this cabinet." â
"How?" said Katrina, curiously leaning on it.
"Quite simply, the zirconium crystal conserves the energy of the Frost Technique, and uses a special loop glass tube to run this energy non-stop. â
"The temperature diverges," Katrina asked.
Therefore, the zirconium crystal had to be replaced to allow the energy to continue to gather. â
"It's amazing," Catrina clinged to the metal cabinet, "the preservation of magical energy, the Institute has never seen such a thing. â
"If you're interested, I can give you a manual, it's not as complicated as you think," Jim looked at the big bookcase, "The manual is in it, I'm used to recording every discovery, and when I was younger, I learned too many messy things, but it's a pity...... I don't have much time, and when I have time, I'll find out the manual. â
"It's a treasure trove here," Katrina said as she stood in front of the bookcase, looking at her three teammates.
Tarrant shrugged, it's a complete garbage dump, smelling worse than a sewer.
Jim shook the bottle and asked, "Would you like some?"
"No," Tarrant replied, no one wanted to drink from that cup.
"Teacher," Catrina added suddenly, paying homage in the manner of a mage, "Your discoveries and creations have transcended their time, and any one of your objects here can change the world." â
"Is that omelette pot okay?" Tarrant interjected.
Jim didn't mind, he raised his glass and saluted Katrina, "The Extremous are like the stars in the sky, I'm just a child sitting on the beach looking up at their starlight." â
"If it weren't for Blue Cassia, you would be the greatest mage of our time", says Katrina, referring to Jim, the most seductive word for a mage.
Jim sipped his wine, "No, you made a mistake", the compliment did not please him, "Following in the footsteps of the sages can only make you famous, and to become the true greatest one must have your own starlight, like Clos, who molded energy into a substance, what an imaginative project, or Andnac, who condensed energy into a sphere, without which it is impossible to imagine what the mages would fight." I am just one of their many admirers and have nothing to contribute. â
Catrina looked at Jim with a little regret, "Teacher, the knowledge in this room is enough to make you immortal. â
"Ah, good subject," Jim raised an eyebrow, "I'm thinking about it, sacrificing myself as a lich. â
