Chapter 217: Lightning
Dinner is served at an open-air table next to the lake, and since the mountain peaks are already above the clouds, there is no need to worry about rain all year round.
The blazing stove on one side of the dining table illuminates everyone's sight while a whole sheep is still roasting.
As the servant slowly turned the crank, the grease continued to drip into the fire, sparks splashed everywhere, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Except for the servant in charge of the barbecue, Shaida kept everyone else out of the way.
"Even if the Hellian people don't advance to the Blue Bird Mage, they rarely live in the lower courtyard, so the young master can always live in the Washing Star Peak in the future," Shaida saw Donner and glanced at the servant, and explained with a smile, "It's okay, Billy is deaf and dumb." ”
Donner nodded and continued to read the questions from the previous big exams in his hand. Not long ago, Shaida had shown him her collection, which was more than the library in the Commons.
In addition to the identification of some magical beasts and potions, more than eighty percent of the major exam questions in the middle court are math questions. Interestingly, in addition to one problem involving simple topology, more than eighty percent of these math problems are geometry.
The reason for this is self-evident, the process by which a magician constructs magic is almost entirely based on geometry.
But Donner saw the drawbacks at a glance.
Since the branches of mathematics such as algebra, number theory, probability, calculus, and mathematical logic have almost no application value in the practice of magic, a complete mathematical system has not been established in the magic continent at all.
In this case, even geometry has become stagnant due to the lack of adequate mathematical tools.
Figuratively speaking, the mathematical system of the Magic Continent is only an applied mathematics developed based on magic.
It's like a carpenter, in order to make a perfect chair, he doesn't need to study number theory and algebra.
Moreover, it is precisely because the power of magic is strong enough that in the entire magic continent, physics, chemistry and other disciplines are extremely backward.
Take the tableware on the table in front of you as an example, except for some glassware, the metal tableware is actually mainly bronze.
In this sense, the Wizarding Continent is a completely deformed and developed civilization.
If you think about the caste system, the long individual life and the extremely low fertility rate, Downer even feels as if the land has been deliberately cursed.
I am afraid that in another 10,000 years, there will be no higher forms of civilization developed here.
If the mechanical civilization of the Far North can develop electricity or explosives, I am afraid that the Magic Continent will one day face extinction without its own intervention.
Thinking of this, Donner couldn't help but look up at the sky, and after a while, he realized that the clouds were not in the sky, but under his feet.
Suddenly, he realized something extremely important.
"Have you seen ......, Rickle," he said, and was halfway there, as if he had been under a spell that immobilized him.
"What's wrong?" asked Rikko with concern, and Shaida and Layla looked at him nervously.
Donner couldn't recall the word "electricity" in Fantes, Caios, or Hulse.
No, it's not that he can't remember that in this world, in any language he knows, there is no such word as "electricity" or "lightning".
Recall carefully, for almost twenty years, he has not even seen lightning!
"You ...... Has anyone ever seen a sudden light and a loud roar on a rainy day?" Donner still didn't dare to confirm, he wanted to verify it again.
The girls were all puzzled.
Yes, there is no lightning in this world!
Could it be that there is no such thing as electricity in this world?
No way!
Since there is light, there are electromagnetic waves, how can there be no electricity?
If there really is no electricity and no explosives, then the magical civilization is the highest form of civilization in this world?
Or is magic energy another form of electricity, and the potential energy that is supposed to form lightning has become a ubiquitous element of magic?
He always felt that there was something wrong here, but for a while, he couldn't find any clues.
In desperation, he could only shake his head, put down the test questions in his hand, and looked up at the stars in the sky.
The stars naturally won't give him any answers, he raised his head like this, just a little nostalgic, nostalgic for those days when he could see the stars when he looked up, and he could see a bright moon.
That's right, there is no moon in this world, which he already knows as soon as he crosses over.
"Are you alright, dear?" asked Reicor cautiously.
"It's okay...... I'm fine!" Donner withdrew his gaze from the starry sky above his head and smiled at the half-elf girl, "Ah, you actually ate it yourself...... Don't wait for me!"
The laughter returned to the table.
Donner knew that he was now the backbone of these four people, and there was no reason for the girls to be worried about him because of his momentary feelings, especially not to worry Ruike anymore.
......
Towards the end of dinner, Donner tapped the glass of water in front of him with a spoon and said with a smile, "Next, I'm going to assign tasks." ”
The girls immediately put down their utensils and waited for him to continue.
"Shaida, you can find a way to get me all the books you can find about the magic circle, and prepare a set of tools and materials for drawing the magic circle...... By the way, do I have to meet those conditions to advance to a Blue Bird Mage?"
"Well, you must master two attack spells, one defense spell, and in order to avoid private transactions between students, once you receive a magic potion, you must drink it on the spot. Shaida replied.
"That'...... Is that how every level of magician advances?" Downer wondered.
"No, magicians above level 7 can't rely on potions if they want to advance again, and they can only increase their spiritual power through meditation...... The more intense the magical element, the better the meditation effect, so the sanctuary must be built on the highest place. Shaida explained.
"Do you know how to meditate?"
"I don't know...... Before reaching the seventh level mage, taking the potion has a much faster effect than meditation. Instead of wasting time meditating, it would take at least thirty years to build three fifth-level magics......"
"Thirty years?!" Even after hearing about the difficulty of advancing to the rank of Flowing Cloud Mage, Donner was taken aback by the number.
"Yes, a third-level magician only needs to construct six hundred divine yuan of magic, and when it comes to a fifth-level magician, this number rises to three thousand, and it is too difficult to complete it in three seconds. ”
Rick helped, adding, "Shaida started learning magic at the age of twelve, and was promoted to a third-level magician at the age of thirteen, but it took three years to master three third-level magic...... It is said that fourth-level magic takes more than ten years......"
"So, before you enter the Holy Academy, the difficulty of advancing is not to collect resources and exchange points, but to build magic?"
"For most Hellians, that's it. Shaida nodded.
(Donner was right in his thinking, since there is light, of course there is electricity.) Moreover, there is lightning in this world, but none of the four of them have ever seen it. Continue to ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a recommended ticket!) (To be continued.) )
