Chapter 192: Something Big
"You're younger than I thought you were, Mr. Snape, and welcome to Werner's High School of Magic."
Engel's demeanor and words made Colin quickly think of Principal Hans of Ilya, except that the two people were different in appearance, they gave people the feeling that they were exactly the same, and he had to wonder if the principals of these colleges were cultivated in batches.
However, the level of other high-level magicians is as fake, and Colin greeted the etiquette of the juniors: "Hello, Your Excellency Engel, it should be my honor to be able to come to the top academic hall of the Western Continent." ”
"Everything is ready, and the whole school is looking forward to your presentation."
Engel's words are both polite and true.
According to Colin and Felix's agreement, the main content of this talk was to publish the construction method of the water arrow spell model that he had previously published in his paper.
A spell model, to put it simply, is actually a three-dimensional pattern.
It's just that most of this pattern is more complicated, and the more high-end the spell, the more complex the model becomes.
However, the pattern of the spell model itself can only be used to derive and calculate the effect of the spell.
Casting is the process of constructing a model.
To put it bluntly, it's easy to memorize a pattern, but to know how it was "drawn", it is necessary for the inventor to explain and guide it himself, from which point to start and end at which point, what is the trajectory of the construction, priorities, and every mistake in detail will lead to the failure of the spell cast.
This requires not only a strong memory, but also a long mental simulation.
This has led to many magicians who have awakened for many years, and often only have a few simple spells, and they can't even pass the beginner assessment.
……
The exchange lectures were scheduled in the morning at the central plaza of the college.
There were so many applicants that there was no classroom to accommodate them. Although Colin has promised to publish a formal model construction method in Felix's "Theory of Elements" in the future, no one wants to miss it if he can hear it first.
Shorten the cast time of the water arrow by 10%, the effect can be large or small, after all, this spell is too basic, for those powerful magicians seem dispensable, and the shortened cast time is related to its own strength, the worse the level, the more obvious the improvement.
But the magicians in this world, after all, are mainly low-level, according to the rough statistics of the Blue Bay Club in the Blue Alliance, among the 100 magicians, less than 5 are above the intermediate level, and most of the remaining 95 people are also magicians who have awakened but cannot pass the primary assessment.
For those magicians who may only have one "water arrow" in their lifetime, Cohen Snape's congratulations are not trivial, after all, if you improve a "monstrous wave", it has nothing to do with me.
Colin stepped onto the makeshift podium and roared applause.
He glanced at the many expectant eyes below and smiled slightly: "I know why you are here, please rest assured, I will not disappoint you, but before getting into the main topic, please allow me to tell a little bit about the thesis, after all, in my opinion, the basis of spells is still in the theory of the elements." ”
This notion may be controversial elsewhere, but in Osteria it is accepted by almost all magicians.
Everyone was not in a hurry, in addition to the spell model, it was also a rare opportunity for Cohen Snape himself to explain the paper that had been nominated.
There was only one person in the audience who was completely confused.
Gabriel came an hour early today to grab a front seat, as a mid-level magician, he is not really interested in the construction of water arrow models, but Cohen Snape's paper is a great inspiration for him, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear his speech.
But when the young professor stepped up to the podium, Gabriel was there.
Because he was sitting in the front row, he saw the other party's appearance very clearly.
Isn't this the same student who spoke in his class yesterday?
Why did you say your name was Cohen, but you didn't say your name was Cohen Snape!
Cohen Snape, come and hear me for yourself!
Gabriel was shocked and almost collapsed.
Yesterday's class also contained a lot of his own personal opinions and conjectures, which can be fooled by some students who don't know much about it, but a top scholar in the fields of Albert Trophy nomination, elemental collapse and magic pattern is probably about to die of laughter after listening to his own class.
I had a brain convulsion yesterday, what the hell was I talking about?
Some unfounded illusions and speculations...... It's over, once the other party tells the principal about this, not only will his teaching position be difficult to secure, but I'm afraid that his academic career will also be over, and he won't be able to mix in the magic circle, a typical social death.
However, at this point, Gabriel could not do anything, his mind was blank, and he could not even listen to the speech.
Colin had already seen Gabriel sitting in the front row, and smiled at him deliberately, but the other party seemed to have lost his mind.
He didn't care, put the script on the table, and began the formal speech.
"For those of you who are in the same city as His Excellency Felix, you should be well aware of the importance of the phenomenon of water element exploration for ......"
"The content of today's lecture may be somewhat different from my previous paper......
“……”
“……”
As the speech deepened, the audience became more and more confused.
Because as Snape himself said, what he said today is different from the previous papers, but where are the partial discrepancies, it is simply very different.
A lot of people take papers and listen to them, only to find that it's not like that at all.
There was already some slight chatter in the audience.
On the side of the podium, Engel looked at Felix beside him, also with a puzzled expression: "Your Excellency Felix, the content of Mr. Snape seems to have nothing to do with his thesis." ”
Felix was one of the few people who could barely keep up with Colin's train of thought, but he was also very puzzled.
"It's related to the paper, but it seems that the derivation method and the final result have indeed changed, and according to this line of thinking, the spell model seems to have changed dramatically from before."
"But why did he do that?"
"I don't know." Felix shook his head.
The chatter gradually stopped, because everyone basically didn't understand it at all.
If it weren't for the final model build, someone would have already gotten up and left.
The hour-long presentation was finally coming to an end.
"So, according to the changes I made to the original paper just now, I believe you have understood what I mean......"
Everyone was speechless for a while, I understood a ghost.
Only Felix and a handful of senior faculty members seemed to realize something.
"This guy is going to make something big again." Felix muttered.
Sure enough, I heard Cohen Snape continue: "That's right, as everyone thought, the Magic Pattern Foundation Framework Bridging Theory is no longer an ethereal thing, but a theory that can be truly realized, although the effect is not as good as imagined so far, but it has made a good start, below, please help verify my results......"
At the beginning, everyone was completely confused, but after listening to the first half of the sentence, they couldn't help but complain, what can be achieved by the "Magic Pattern Basic Framework Bridging Theory"?
What do you mean by "as everyone thinks"?
What do we have in mind?
The bridge theory of the basic framework of the magic pattern, simply put, is to use the bridging technique to greatly simplify the magic pattern and improve its efficiency, in some specific occasions, it has indeed been verified that it can be realized, but the conditions are very harsh, it cannot be popularized at all, and it is unimaginable to use it on the basic framework of the magic pattern.
Even if the person who said this, it was Cohen Snape, who was not convincing, let alone the long speech that preceded him, which no one could understand.
However, everyone's disdainful expressions were immediately covered by the last sentence.
Achievement?
Already fruitful?
I saw Cohen Snape slowly sketch out a spell model on the curtain that served as a blackboard behind him, using water spells.
This is completely different from the model he published in his paper, except for the basic framework.
Before everyone could ask, Colin continued: "This is my all-night improved spell model last night, and its effect is slightly better than the one I published before, according to actual measurements, this improved water arrow can increase the cast speed by 30%. ”
As soon as the words fell.
The auditorium blew up.
From 10%, directly to 30%?
It's also scary.
I want to believe it or not, but Cohen Snape said that it has been tested, and this verification is very simple, and it can even be done on the spot, and in his capacity, it is impossible to tell this lie.
And it's completely unnecessary.
Before everyone had time to think about the impact of this contribution, Colin continued: "I will announce the construction method of the spell model on the spot, but before that, please allow me to express my gratitude to one of the instructors of the Werner High School of Magic, without his help, I would not have been able to complete the improvement of this spell model in just one night. ”
With that, Colin reached out and made an inviting gesture in Gabriel's direction.
"Mr. Gabriel, thank you for your wonderful presentation in class yesterday, which inspired me a lot."
Everyone's eyes were focused on a young magician in the front row of the audience.
Gabriel's eyes widened, completely unaware of what was happening.
