Lin was too lazy to argue with a magician about divination. Basically, the dispute between the two schools of thought is an old case.

Because they are not able to be promoted to full-fledged magicians, there are many people who have a superficial talent for magic, but who study hard, and eventually become astrologers. And because of the ability to predict the climate, astrologers are more popular than magicians.

Since it is more deeply rooted in the people, the grievances of astrologers can easily infect the majority of the uninformed and ignorant people, and become the mainstream voice of the region. This behavior intensified the dissatisfaction of the magicians.

Many magicians, even if they don't nail astrologers to the pillar of shame, will inevitably have their own subjective attitudes in their speech. It was Juan who blurted out those words.

It was Juan's question that reminded him of when and why did he become obsessed with this starry sky? Is it because of the story of the horoscope? Or when you were young, the blood-boiling memories of Saint Seiya? Isn't it......

"In the darkness, they shine with a light that is not dazzling at all, and strive to show their presence. Don't you think it's cute? ”

"No, not at all. If you want to be the sun, you will shine on the world. Stars or something, it's too boring. ”

Well, this is the person who is so proud and qualified to be proud. Lin was speechless.

At this embarrassing moment when he didn't know how to answer, the abnormality observed in the sky attracted Lin's attention.

This is the fourth time in more than a year that we have seen something like this. With the naked eye, there is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. However, with specific observation methods, it is possible to clearly detect the anomalies of spatial distortion.

Except for the first time, because of curiosity all the use of flashing techniques to the location of the space warp, close to observe. After that, as long as Lin found a similar situation, he would still stay at home and record his data with all kinds of observation methods that could be used. It may be that the amount of data is too small, so I can't find any commonality and correlation for the time being.

But didn't Juan, like someone, directly project the received information directly into his field of vision? Javier, of course, would have been surprised by the way he suddenly became serious, looking up at a certain place from time to time, and his hands were swinging inexplicably. Juan looked curiously in the same direction and asked, "Did you find anything special?" ”

"Space distortion phenomenon, it's interesting." Lin said casually.

"Space, huh...... What is a space warp? Juan continued.

Space and time are very abstract concepts. Before the modern era of the earth, these two concepts were also not popular. Although the mages of the Lost Land involve teleportation, time pause, and other magic, they may not necessarily understand these two concepts. Most people are like Juan? Javier, like him, is good at elemental magic. Because in comparison, it is more intuitive.

In response to his old friend's question, Lin pondered how to explain to him what 'space distortion' was. It's also because of the difference in identity and relationship, so someone seriously considers the issue of interpretation.

Suppose it was another child, or an ordinary magic apprentice asking such a question. Lin must have sent the other party away: "Let's go and learn the basic magic first, and then ask these questions." "But for those who are already full-fledged magicians, this is normal magical communication.

But let's explain 'space warp'. After thinking about it, Lin took a piece of paper and a charcoal pen, spread it out on the small table, and said, "Can you draw a straight line on this piece of paper?" I'll explain it to you on this piece of paper. ”

Juan also didn't pretend to pick someone up in the orange fruit? An invention made during his time at Eton College, he skillfully drew a straight line on a blank piece of paper. There is no ruler, just a pull, and the straight lines are completed in one go.

Using the index thumbs of both hands, he twisted the paper and placed it in front of Juan. Lin said: "It's a straight line on paper. After speaking, he kneaded the paper vigorously, kneaded it into a paper ball, placed it on the flat palm, and said, "This is still a straight line on the paper." Well, you know? ”

"But you've crumpled it up. Wait, I think about it. "Juan? Javier looked down in thought. At the same time, Lin flattened the piece of paper, pulled it left and right, and said, "Look, this is still a straight line." ”

"That's what you call in mathematics, different dimensions of perspective, different results."

"Yes, that's right." The classic case that Lin used was 'two intersecting parallel lines'.

Parallel lines are logically defined as two lines that will never intersect, but that's on a plane. On an arc surface, it is possible for the extensions of parallel lines to intersect. A practical example is the latitude and longitude lines on a globe, where the straight lines indicating longitude are parallel to each other but intersect at the north and south poles.

Crumpling the paper into a ball can be seen as a complex arc. But when this arc is projected into a plane, the observation is different. In the same example, if the map of a globe is projected differently from a flat map, different map shapes will be obtained. None of them are right, it just depends on which map the user needs to meet their needs.

In fact, after Lin discovered the mysteries of the dimension by studying the World Tree, he once wanted to develop a kind of magic in addition to flashing. It is the use of space warp phenomenon to cause damage such as broken bones and distorted bodies to enemies or targets.

However, the idea was only halfway through before it was abandoned. It's not that it can't make the space distorted, but that the distorted space can't produce a different dimensional coordinate system from the individuals existing in this space, and then cause damage.

To illustrate it with a realistic example, it's like a haha mirror. The self reflected in the plane mirror is the same as the real self. However, when you look at yourself with a curved mirror, you will become fatter, thinner, taller, shorter, or your body proportions will become quite strange.

No matter how bizarre these changes are, the self in the haha mirror is still a complete self. There are no injuries such as fractures, compression of the body, or abnormal expansion due to those deformations.

In the same way, after using magic to distort space from a higher dimensional perspective, the objects in the distorted space still exist reasonably in accordance with the physical laws of that space. It is not because the space is distorted, but the people inside are magically able to maintain the existence of the original coordinate system, and thus be harmed by the distorted space.

Of course, this research can advance to the second level, how to decouple the phenomenon of space warp from the dimensional coordinates of objects that exist in space. But...... If you can solve the problem with a different dimensional banishment technique, don't embarrass yourself.

These explanations, Lin also used as superficial as possible to say to Juan? Javier listened. At their level, magicians don't need to take out the spell model and slowly explain it in detail. Rather, it is to come up with a conceptual theory and then integrate it into its own magical system. So such a simple explanation is just right for Juan.
