Chapter 63: The Mage's Journal
went to the Mage's Guild for the certification of the Second Ring Mage, and obtained the brand-new Second Ring Mage Badge, Xia Lin then went to the academy to find Dean Manan and took out the four basic rune theories that he had summarized.
"You broke the terms of the contract and gave my students a month's time off, which is what you call the unprecedented results of magical research?"
There was a wonderful incense in Dean Manan's dean's room, which seemed to have a lot of magical ingredients in it, which made people feel clear when they smelled it, he took the booklet handed over by Xia Lin, and asked with interest before he could read it.
Although there was a faint hint of dissatisfaction in his words, Dean Manan didn't seem to really blame Xia Lin, anyway, compared to the continuous supply of paper and the future papermaking process obtained by the academy during this time, the studies of the more than twenty non-commissioned officers were not too important.
In fact, even if Xia Lin wanted to recruit all these students into Carl's laboratory, it didn't matter if Dean Manan personally communicated with the military in the north, anyway, the mother family of the second princess was the Grand Duke of the north.
What's more, after working in Karl's lab for a period of time, the professors generally reported that the speed at which these students built Zero Ring spells had actually increased a lot.
"As I said in my previous teleportation work, this magical research is truly unprecedented, and even enough to cause a revolution in the wizarding world.
I have one more thing to do when I come to the academy today and want to seek cooperation with Dean Manan, but I will wait until you read my results first. ”
Xia Lin said in a firm and confident tone.
"Then I'll have to take a good look!"
Dean Manan was very curious about the research topics mentioned in Xia Lin's communication before, but after looking for a few temporary researchers in the second year, he couldn't ask anything, mainly because when they heard that Xia Lin asked them to keep their research results secret, Dean Manan was inconvenient to get to the bottom of it.
In the wizarding world, one of the rules handed down from ancient times was that he could not listen to the research results of other mages without permission, so this was the first time he had witnessed Xia Lin's research results with his own eyes.
When Dean Manan opened the title page and saw the big characters of "Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories" on the title, Dean Manan's mind moved slightly, rune variants? The four basic runes? What is this?
Dean Manan, who was intrigued by this novel term, looked down, and his expression began to become more and more serious and serious.
Starting from the particularity of the recording technique, the two rune nodes that make up the recording technique are connected, and then the correlation between them is discovered......
The correlation between the Fire Rune and the Cleaning Rune was discovered, and the conjecture of the variant rune was proposed......
“…… To sum up, among the one hundred and seventy-two runes currently mastered by Karl's lab, all of them have variant relationships, and their sources are kinetic energy runes, magical matter runes, force field runes, and soul runes that are the basic runes.
This theory has been checked in various ways and determined to have a certain universality, so I make a bold conjecture: all runes in the wizarding world are derived from these four basic rune variants......"
After spending a long time carefully reading the entire theoretical research report with a thickness of one hundred and seventeen pages, Dean Manan closed the page, breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then opened his eyes and looked at Xia Lin's somewhat childish face with a complicated expression.
"Xia Lin, you are really a child favored by the gods! If I hadn't known you well, I would never have thought that such a meticulous theory of research would have been proposed by a young man who was no more than fifteen years old.
This theory is indeed enough to subvert the current magical world and clear the thorns and bumps in the road to promotion for more mages.
But there will also be many people who question you, not only because of your age, but also because of your age...... No, are you already a second-ring mage now? I see...... It seems that the value of this theory is even higher than I thought!
But even if you are promoted to the second ring mage, they will still question your strength, and the most important thing is that the method you propose is very different from the traditional research method, and the mages will not agree with it in a short time! ”
"That's right, I think so myself, that's why I'm going to find Dean Manan today."
Xia Lin nodded undeniably at Dean Manan's evaluation words, put down the teacup and looked at the green leaves outside the window.
Swept by the breezy breeze characteristic of Helgana in November, these yellow leaves fall from the old trees, as if to symbolize the end of an era.
"Looks like you've got something in mind. Let's say, there are any other things, for the sake of this theory, except for things that violate my principles, I can agree. ”
Seeing that Xia Lin seemed to be confident, Dean Manan sighed, leaned back on the soft chair in amazement, took out a thick book of "Rune Research" from the drawer, and rubbed the old cover with his right hand with some nostalgia.
"In the name of Karl Labs, I'm going to work with the Academy and the Mage's Guild to publish an open journal dedicated to the mages' research on magic, called Runes and Magic.
In this journal, I will publish this book "Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories".
I hope that Dean Manan and His Excellency Master Gao Huan from the Imperial Capital's magical community will become the editors of this journal, responsible for reviewing the submissions of future mages, and convincing the royal family and the mage's guild to fund rewards and funding for outstanding magical research results! ”
"Dean Manan, don't you think the wizarding world has been stagnant for a long time?
Many mages stay at home and engage in a never-ending quest for runes and magic, and some of them may have achieved some success, but they have spent their lives carefully protecting their achievements from leaking out.
So after their deaths, all but the part that was excavated from the manuscript by later generations was reduced to dust.
For thousands of years, in addition to the magic associations that have passed down the research results of some ancient magicians, how many wonderful ideas do you think have been put forward again and again by amazing and glamorous mages, but they have been covered up in the long river of history again and again?
Our generation should not continue like this, and create open journals so that mages can exchange their research results for research resources, and let these ripe fruits fall into the soil and sprout and grow again, so that the Enchanted Forest will flourish one day in the future!
This is the historical mission that our generation cannot avoid, and as the most important representative of the interests of the mage community, the Royal Academy of Magic and the Mage Guild have this responsibility to cooperate in the creation of this journal! And our generation will leave its name in the history of magic written by future mages! ”
Hearing Dean Manan's promise, Xia Lin stopped paying attention to the leaves that were blown off by the wind, turned around, looked into Dean Manan's eyes, and proposed his first step in reforming the wizarding world.
“……”
Hearing Xia Lin's words, Dean Manan looked at Xia Lin's childish but sharp face and couldn't speak for a long time, and finally he sighed heavily again, and sighed with some self-shame:
"Is that so? A journal that disseminates the theory of magic? I see, as long as we have the support of our high-ring mages, and with the verification of time, everyone will eventually agree with your research results.
Moreover, this journal will also bring new changes to the wizarding world, so that more mages are willing to share their theories and accelerate the study of magic.
It's a creative idea, I thought I was still a young man as the youngest Master of the Five Rings, but when I saw you, I felt like I was getting old.
Then do as you say! I will contact the higher-ups of the Mage's Guild and the archmages of the court, and I am sure they will not lose sight of this theory and the usefulness of this journal.
Lord Charlem Karl, the future of the wizarding world is for you! ”
"No, Dean Manan, the future wizarding world is not just ours.
Newborn things are full of vitality, but they also need to be taught by experienced seniors in order to mature quickly.
My new theory is still very young and lacks verification from all sides, and I think as a senior on the magic path, you can also help me refine this theory. ”
Facing Dean Manan's emotion, Xia Lin shook his head and said sincerely.
Only 172 runes were studied in this theory, and the world is so big, who knows that in the future, new runes will not appear that cannot be grouped into the four basic runes of the present?
It is precisely because of this that he chose to publish this theory in a journal so that more mages can test it.
In the future wizarding world, there should not only be a place for the new generation of mages, but also the towering ancient trees to shelter the new saplings.
“……”
Hearing Xia Lin's words, Dean Manan, who was a little depressed, seemed to be a little touched in his heart, and he silently looked at the "Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories" and "Rune Research" on the table and thought for a long time.
In the end, he put the "Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories" on the "Rune Research", and he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had put something down, and nodded in response.
"Verify? I see, since you don't dislike my old bones, let me dedicate some of my strength to this great new theory as well! ”
