Chapter 44: A Non-Famous Conjecture

Maybe it's really because it has encroached on the creation between heaven and earth.

From the first day they appeared in this world, wizards had to face the endless malice of this world. A shadow like a maggot on a tarsal bone hovered around them.

This shadow is calamity.

Although, according to modern philosophical theories of magic, the Calamity is essentially an information disturbance - not essentially different from the ripples caused by a stone smashed into a pool of water - it is simply the natural reaction of the world after the wizards interfered with the normal flow of information in the world.

But that doesn't stop the old-school wizards from continuing to call it a 'scourge'.

Even the Encyclopedia of the Wizarding World, compiled by the Wizarding Alliance, still retains this ancient, traditional term, and has not undergone any so-called 'modern' innovations.

In the encyclopedia, under the entry for 'catastrophe', 'information disturbance' is still only one of several theories that explain its nature, and several speculations such as 'equivalence principle' and 'rejection reaction' explain the wizard's understanding of this phenomenon from different angles.

"You only get one chance. ”

"Any information that responds to 'information disturbances' is essentially a denial of the whole world...... It is a natural taboo, and it is difficult to resort to the mouth, and it is difficult to appeal to the written word. ”

"For a short period of time, I can only provide this additional copy. ”

"You only get one chance to really understand the treatment plan I'm proposing...... It's okay if you don't understand it, but as a professor at the First University, as a student at the First University, I hope you can truly understand the samadhi. ”

Professor Yi's babbling voice was automatically filtered out of Zheng Qing's ears.

From the moment he got the notebook, his mind was completely attracted by this slightly soft Song version of the notebook.

The professor soon sensed the young wizard's attentive demeanor.

He stopped preaching, smiled slightly, and then lowered his head again, and continued to look through the pile of documents at hand. Professor Yao, who was sitting in another corner, buried his whole head in the smoke, as if all he had left in his world was the pile of green smoke.

Zheng Qing slowly flipped through the notes in his hand.

The first few pages are broadly similar to the encyclopedia entries – I don't know who imitated whom – and the definition of 'calamity' is followed by a list of thousands of 'calamities' of varying degrees and under different circumstances.

In a general summary, it is nothing more than natural disasters, man-made disasters, and self-destruction.

Minor disasters, such as getting angry, wrestling, being bitten by bugs, and choking on saliva, every wizard will inadvertently experience them dozens or even hundreds of times in their lives. This is the price they pay for using magic in this world, and most wizards survive these calamities in ignorance.

Serious disasters, such as wizards spontaneously combusting, being eroded by wind, being struck by lightning, being hit by meteorites, being hunted by demons, etc., will always appear during the critical period of wizards' promotion or after casting spells that have a significant impact on the world.

Even more serious is the world's backlash against the wizarding community - the most secretive and undetectable scourge of all.

According to the speculation in the notebook, every change in magical skills and the advancement of magical knowledge is accompanied by corresponding tribulations. For example, the emergence of demons, the arrival of alien races, and the fall of lichs - the most supportive of this assertion is that after the birth of the dimensional theory, wizards discovered new worlds.

This is both a challenge and an opportunity.

If you can get through, it will be a new scenery, but if you can't hide, everything will be rested. Needless to say, it should be said.

Fortune tellers will always have more calamities than other wizards because of the sheer amount of information they have captured in the world. From ancient times to the present, because there is no corresponding means to avoid robbery after divination, it has led to serious diseases, widowhood for life, and even the destruction of gods and deaths. The corresponding divination inheritance has also been dissipated countless times in the torrent of history.

This also made the powerful school of fortune tellers never become the mainstream of the wizarding world.

And special fortune tellers, such as prophets, observers, witnesses, etc., need to deal with dozens of times more disasters than ordinary wizards. And the calamities they will encounter are so varied that even an encyclopedia cannot effectively count them.

In the long process of accumulation and exploration, the wizards continued to sum up their experience, and gradually explored many different ways to deal with the catastrophe. One of the non-famous conjectures recorded in the notes in Zheng Qing's hand: any calamity, after the target life form cannot be traced, will continue to collapse until it is eliminated.

This assertion is followed by a red pen with the words 'Subodhi conjecture, in the winter of the 18th year of the 9th year of Dajue'.

Zheng Qing didn't know who Su Bodhi was, and when was the ninth year of Dajue, he didn't have the heart to find out at all.

The young wizard hurriedly flipped through the notes behind him, his gaze gradually changing from panic to amazement, and finally to stunned.

Underneath this conjecture, the inheritors of the notes of the past have tried to prove it by various means, but to this day, even with the support of the profound background of Daiichi University, researchers have not been able to accurately prove this conjecture through the strict philosophy of magic.

Perhaps, as it says at the end of the note-

To prove it, or not to prove it, is a problem for the world. If this conjecture is really proven, then this is the world's denial of itself, and perhaps only by going beyond this world and having a broader vision can we really see the crux of the problem.

Although this conjecture cannot be verified at the theoretical level, it does not prevent wizards from practicing 'take-it-or-leave-it'. The method of avoiding robbery based on this conjecture has greatly benefited the holders of this notebook.

This approach is called 'change'.

Through change, you can change your life form and make the catastrophe lose its purpose.

"Also... In other words..."Zheng Qing raised his head and asked, "You... The treatment you arranged for me is changing..."

"That's right, Transfiguration. Professor Yi took off his glasses again, and while wiping them carelessly, he raised his head, revealing a pair of slightly bulging eyes.

His expression looked very satisfied:

"Looks like you really got it...... Now that I've got that, I need to give you some clarity before I actually implement the plan. ”

"Transfiguration is a type of magic that can truly change the life form of a wizard, and it can transform the wizard into a new life form in a very short period of time, so as to avoid catastrophe and prolong life...... It's a very profound, dangerous, and precious form of magic. ”

"And the notes in your hand are the knowledge that countless soothsayers dream of and are willing to exchange their lives for...... It is also knowledge that can save countless lives. ”

"But we can't tell anyone else...... Any idea why?"

"Because of the information disturbance?" Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, tentatively saying his guess.

"Very good. Professor Yi had a heartfelt smile on his face, and he even stood up and paced back and forth behind his desk: "Very good...... Information disturbances will increase the scale of the catastrophe exponentially...... If your mind is still stuck in the level of 'monopoly and profiteering', then you are not suitable for the best treatment plan I have arranged for you......"

Zheng Qing looked dazed.

It sounds like Professor Yi has more than one treatment plan for him.

Lao Yao's smug laughter came from behind him: "I told you a long time ago..."
