What is the most powerful force in the world?

Some might say it's the Force, some say it's magic, some say it's arcane.

In a sense, these answers are correct, but it's easy to overlook one of the oldest and most common forces.

- Knowledge.

Knowledge is the foundation of all forces, it can be weak or strong, but all power systems cannot be built without it.

It is an objective law captured from nothingness, a ladder from disorder to order.

And the group of people who can use it the most in this world are scholars.

Those weak, bespectacled scholars who look a little boring in a university town or in a library, they record history with the tip of a pen, pass on civilization with paper, and watch over this powerful force, but they are the most inconspicuous group of people.

If the corpse of the god in the Endless Sea of Trees is a small secret that has been passed down to the Council of the Wizards' Guild, then the subject that the Raphael Library has been studying is the secret of all scholars.

Whether it is Nadal or the previous Donnacius, they were all famous university scholars, with equal books and high moral character, so they were elected as the director of the Raphael Library.

However, after they became the curators, there was no research, some people say that this may be because they are busy with official business after becoming the curators, but in fact, the people who actually work in the Raphael Library know very well that the position of the curator is very leisurely.

So what exactly they are doing has become a topic of speculation for many people when they chat.

And now Nadal has uncovered the mystery in front of those young librarians.

"Curator, this ...... What is this?" The librarian who remained in the hall gathered around, looking at the huge object on the painting in curiosity.

"I haven't had time to name it yet, you can call it a magnetic field superimposer if you like. Nadal introduced.

"Magnetic field superimposer?"

"Yes, the Arkenser Rough is the oldest ore on the Dawn Continent today, do you know what the biggest difference between it and other ores is?"

The librarians looked at each other, the Arkenser Rough Stone was almost extinct on the mainland, and the value of one was as high as a large town, how could ordinary people like them see it.

Donasius took out a fist-sized stone from his pocket and tossed it to a librarian beside him, "This is the Arkenser Rough, and it is also a subject that successive directors of the Raphael Library have been studying. ”

Nadal took Donnahew's words, "Or more accurately, we are studying its role in the descent. ”

"We believe that there is some kind of magical barrier between the Kingdom of God and the Dawn Continent, once you leave the Dawn Continent and enter the Kingdom of God, you can no longer descend on the earth as you like, but ......" Nadal said, "There are many records of the arrival of gods in the ancient texts of the church and mankind, and a little earlier, before the Dark Ages, our ancestors were still in ignorance, and those things used to frequently walk in the world, relying on this small stone in your hands. ”

The hall of the library was silent, and everyone had a premonition that something would happen tonight, but no one expected that the two directors would say something related to the gods.

The gods know all about human beings, but human beings only have a brief glimpse of the immortal beings in the sacred texts. For the vast majority of ordinary people, they don't even know about the existence of Arkenser Rough Stones, let alone their role in the descent.

Nadal's gaze swept over everyone's faces, taking in everyone's expressions, and after a pause, he continued, "The previous curators before us have found that Arkenser rough is different from other ores, there is a certain energy inside them, which is usually very stable, but once activated by specific means, it will produce a special magnetic field, and we have reason to think that those things rely on this special magnetic field to locate our world. ”

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar, perhaps because of nature, and after hearing the news, these young scholars immediately analyzed the accuracy of this conclusion from an academic point of view, and they began to discuss it with nonsense.

Nadal didn't bother them, and after a while the librarians realized that the two directors were still here, and slowly silenced them.

Nadal didn't care, and continued, "So we naturally thought that we could stop those things from coming by blocking the release of the magnetic field, but unfortunately the research in this direction ended up failing, and the previous researchers found that it was almost impossible to block this magnetic field, so they changed their thinking and weakened the original magnetic field as much as possible by creating another magnetic field and superimposing the two magnetic fields together, and this method finally succeeded, which is the origin of the magnetic field superimposer." ”

Everyone thought of something, and their eyes widened.

"Yes, you guessed it right, it's not too early, let's talk as we go. ”

As the members of Raphael's library arrived on the beach, they noticed the strange natural phenomenon on the surface of the sea not far away, but then their eyes were drawn to a huge copper ball with a diameter of more than twenty meters, and in order to make it float in the sea, there were several rafts under the copper ball.

Nadal said, "The magnetic field superimposer is a product of theory, on the one hand, we have rigorously demonstrated, but on the other hand, for various reasons we have not had the opportunity to verify it, and it is extremely complex to operate and requires a lot of manpower to calculate. ”

A young scholar suddenly realized, "That's why you, Curator, let us practice those strange formulas over and over again these days." ”

Nadal nodded, "I have to make it clear to you first, the next thing will be very dangerous, we can't directly destroy that magnetic field, we can only try to buy time, once we get close to that dark cloud, we have a high probability that we won't be able to come back, in addition to Director Donashi and me, I need fifteen people to help complete the calculation, you can sign up according to the principle of voluntary." ”

The crowd looked at each other, but no one withdrew.

One of the young scholars spoke, "Since the beginning of the war, we have watched the warriors, magicians, and priests around us go to the battlefield, fight those monsters, and protect our people, but we can do nothing but watch it happen, you said that it is the responsibility of every scholar to record history, but rather than being a bystander, we want to participate in it and contribute our own modest contribution to our race, and now that this moment has finally come, how can we stop moving?" ”
