115: Witness the miracle
After a general introduction to the new rune system, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.
The experiment of using the "Acceleration" circle to speed up the crossbow arrows seems simple, but everyone present is a high-level alchemist, and with their vision, they can naturally draw inferences from each other, and get a glimpse of its huge practical value and development potential.
After that, the meeting began with an interactive Q&A session.
"Drip-"
Someone pressed the speak button and questioned, "When did you start researching this new rune system?" Is it really your personal invention? β
The implication is that there is a suspicion that the creator of this new rune system is someone else, or that Nolan is only one of the creators involved in this research.
Otherwise, it can't be explained why he was able to make such research results at such a young age, looking at the complexity of this new style of rune, there is no large team, no ten or twenty years can be studied like that?
As for why the Alchemy Society counted this research on Nolan, perhaps they wanted to "create a god" in order to win the title of "the youngest legendary alchemist in the history of the empire", who knows?
On the side of the second prince's camp, it can't go as they want anyway.
And if it can be proven that Nolan is not the sole or main creator of this research, it is questionable whether he can become a legend because of this.
As a result, the title of Legendary Alchemist will be re-evaluated, and the Alchemy Society will select the creators who have contributed the most to the results from the creator team and award them the title of Legend.
And this back-and-forth reassessment will at least delay this matter for more than a year or two.
"I've been working on this since I was a mother." Nolan shrugged, "I wonder if you're still satisfied with this answer?" β
"What a joke!" The skeptic shouted.
"If it is really as you say, this research result has been very mature, then it must be a huge research team through unremitting research day and night, how can you be embarrassed to swallow the results alone, and be ashamed to say that this is your own invention!"
The voices of the questioners were unusually loud, as if they had become a righteous partner in reporting academic fraud.
Nolan sighed and said helplessly, "I don't understand the point of you tangling with how long I've been researching.
"Do you have to say it bluntly: even if a group of mediocre talents gather together and spend a lifetime, it is not as important as the research results made by a genius in a flash of inspirationβso that you are willing?"
ββ¦β¦ What? The skeptic's eyes widened, "You're so arrogant!" β
"Sir, please understand that you are attending the launch of a legendary achievement."
Nolan smiled, "You don't think you can do it alone, but I did, and that's why I'm standing on the stage and sitting in the audience."
"In addition, you have to slander me for having a large research team, saying that I monopolize the research results of others, so whoever advocates who will provide evidence, you tell me who else is involved in the research of the new rune system?"
"Master Diko, watch your words."
On the side of the referee, the director of the Alchemy Society also coughed lightly and declared, "The Alchemy Society has confirmed that Master Nolan is indeed the sole creator of this achievement.
"If there is any objection, please present sufficient evidence, otherwise the society will reject your question.
"Finally, please strictly abide by the question guidelines of the press conference, thank you for your cooperation."
Of course, the research team is a non-existent thing, and even if he catches the wind, he will not be able to find the slightest evidence.
"Evidence?"
However, in the face of the director's reminder, Dick showed a strange smile, "Of course I have proof!" β
"Oh?" Even Nolan was shocked, "What evidence?" β
Will I still be able to shadow the doppelganger?
But Dico cleared his throat and asked methodically, "Master Nolan, are you sure that no one else knew about the drawing technique of the new runes before you submitted your results to the Alchemy Society?" β
"I'm sure." Nolan nodded, "This is my own research." β
Diko added, "I've heard that your first rise to prominence was during a battle to defend the city of Peak.
"You made five new city defense cannons for the Linfeng City army in one day, and helped Linfeng City defend the city, but so?"
"That's right." Nolan bowed, "You know a lot. β
This matter itself is not a secret, many people in the military department of Linfeng City know that he was also promoted to the general staff because of this merit and was awarded the "Bauhinia Medal".
But in any case, this is just an inconspicuous little thing that happened in the border city, and Dick has investigated his life deeds so clearly that it seems that he came prepared.
"Hmph, you didn't deny it, did you?"
Diko raised his voice and said, "As far as I know, what is installed in this new city defense cannon is the magic circle of the sixth-order fire-based spell 'Sky Burning Flame', so here's the problem-
"Guys, don't you think it's strange? If Nolan didn't have a team, not to mention anything else for the time being, how could he draw five sixth-order magic circles in one day by himself?
"Don't tell me that you prepared it in advance, that siege battle happened very suddenly, and the commission was also issued temporarily, you shouldn't have time to prepare at all!"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Even the alchemists in the Great Prince's camp couldn't help frowning, showing hesitation.
If you rely on only one person to draw a traditional sixth-order magic circle, even a skilled high-level alchemist of the circle will have to work for at least a week, which is common knowledge in the alchemy world.
Because the diameter of the traditional sixth-order magic circle is seven meters long, this is not a small project.
At present, the new style of magic circle drawn using this new rune system can reduce the diameter to about one meter, and the area drawn is greatly reduced.
But the new runes are correspondingly very complex, and in their estimates, being able to draw one circle in a day is already quite a fast efficiency, let alone five a day.
It didn't seem like a single person could do it anyway, but was it really something that Dick was right?
Moreover, Nolan couldn't argue that there was a companion helping to draw the circle, because he had just admitted that he was the only one who knew the drawing technique of the new runes at that time!
"General." Looking at Noren, who had fallen silent, the corners of Dick's mouth began to rise, and he pursued after the victory.
"Genius Master Nolan, the evidence you want is right in front of you, what else do you have to say?"
"Ah, this can also be a general?"
Nolan scratched his head, "No...... Dude, are you all that slow at drawing circles? β
Dick: "? β
Everyone: "? β
When I type "? "It's not that I have a problem, it's that I think you have a problem.
"Drawing five high-level magic circles in a day is relatively limiting, but it is not impossible."
Nolan restrained his mind of engaging in people's mentality, and said solemnly, "When the soldiers came to the city, everyone did their best to protect their families and defend the country, and I also broke through my limits in that environment, which was the only way to accomplish that feat." β
"You mean you can't do it now?" Dick asked.
"Absolutely." Nolan smiled.
"I'm willing to redraw the 'Sky Burning Flame' circle in front of everyone on the spot, and you can calculate whether it is possible for me to complete that achievement alone based on the drawing time."
At that time, he did use the ability of the All-Knowing Book to project the magic circle of the new city defense cannon, but he had already consciously slowed down the production speed just in case.
This leaves plenty of room for later self to operate.
In addition, the press conference is imminent, in order to prevent someone from embarrassing himself, in addition to cultivation, he has actually found time to do a lot of practice in drawing magic circles recently.
Now, even if he didn't use his projection ability, he was sure that he could manually draw a new form of "Heavenly Burning Flame" in three or four hours.
The words have been put down, and there is no point in saying the rest, Dick sneered and sat back in his seat, and hummed:
To replicate this achievement, he would need to draw a perfect high-level circle in at least four and a half hours.
"But no one in history has ever done it so fast...... Oh, I'd like to see how hard he can get! β
"What if he did?" A colleague next to him interjected.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
This drawing speed completely defied the intuition of traditional alchemists, and Dick shook his head firmly, and immediately glanced subconsciously at the stage.
Nolan was directing his servants to bring up the workbench for drawing circles, and the expression on his side face still looked calm, not the slightest bit uneasy......
Or even a little bit of an eagerness to try it?
Should...... Impossible, right?
He was not the only one, in fact, everyone present thought so in their hearts.
If it's not just the size, but even the drawing speed of the traditional circle is completely crushed by the new circle......
The traditional rune system will be completely swept into the trash, and the revolution of magic circle science is really coming.
And, most critically-
If Nolan really succeeded, wouldn't it mean that he was really the creator of this new rune system at the age of eighteen?
In full view, Nolan was quickly ready.
"It's nine thirty sharp."
He glanced at the wall clock in the venue, then placed the base of the one-meter-five-long and wide circle on the workbench, and then dipped the alchemy pen into the special drawing liquid and began to draw the circle.
The Book of Omniscient Omniscience turned to the page of "Heavenly Burning Flames", and he memorized the mysterious circle pattern in his mind, and drew it on the base of the circle one by one.
With the guidance of the omniscient book, coupled with the previous practice, Nolan did not hesitate to write.
With his skillful technique, any intricate runes were delicately and perfectly drawn, and they were so mysterious and strange in the eyes of everyone, but in his eyes they were just casually obtained.
After drawing a rune, he dipped it again in the drawing liquid and began to draw the next stroke non-stop.
At this time, he was like a magic circle drawing machine that would never make mistakes, and he didn't know how long he had been practicing secretly to achieve such proficiency?
Everyone present was stunned by his almost unpaused drawing speed, and their eyes followed his strokes closely, because these runes were extremely mysterious and unfamiliar, and they felt a little dizzying for a while.
In this way, the minutes and seconds passed, and everyone watched intently as Nolan drew the circle, and no one left the table in the whole process.
Such a fast drawing speed was maintained from the beginning to the end, and at the moment when the last rune was drawn-
This mysterious rune was like the finishing touch, and together with the surrounding runes, it formed a complete and exquisite magic circle.
Sixth-order fire-based spell "Heavenly Burning Flame", the drawing is complete!
This is not only a strategic-level weapon, the crystallization of human wisdom, but also a beautiful painting, a perfect work of art!
"How long has it been?" Diko muttered, forcing his gaze away from the esoteric circle and glancing at the wall clock in the venue.
Even when he was against Nolan from a standpoint, he couldn't help but pay full attention to this new magic circle in the process of Nolan's drawing.
When you are completely engrossed, it always feels like time flies by.
But in fact...... Noren was indeed very fast at drawing new circles.
At this point, the hour hand points exactly to one o'clock in the afternoon, which means that it only takes three and a half hours for Noren to draw a "Heavenly Burning Flame" circle!
In this way, the five magic circles are seventeen and a half hours.
Even though the drawing speed may be slower later due to the exhaustion of energy, at least he has been able to prove that it is theoretically feasible to draw five high-level magic circles in one day alone!
"Looks like he really did!" The peers sitting next to each other were amazed.
"Don't rush to conclusions, what if he is too anxious and draws the circle wrong-"
Dick originally wanted to subconsciously refute, but this sentence finally swallowed back to his mouth.
Seeing that Nolan's performance is so good, it's better to leave a way back for himself now.
"Some people say I can't do it, but I did, maybe for them, it's a miracle."
Nolan lifted the circle and showed it to the scene, then put it in the magic cannon structure chamber prepared on the side and installed it, smiling.
"Now, then, is the time to witness the miracle."
As the voice fell, he pulled down the lever that controlled the switch.
"Humβ"
As the magic circle was installed and the control switch was turned on, the next moment, the magic source was connected to the spell structure warehouse, and the muzzle of the magic guide cannon immediately unfolded a circle of fiery red magic circles!
A large number of fire elementals began to gather around the circle, which caused a commotion in the auditorium.
Even if there was a spell barrier in the middle, even if the muzzle of this black hole was not aimed at the audience, everyone had a chill in their hearts when they saw the appearance of the magic circle unfolding.
This is definitely a real guy!
Just before the spell was about to be cast, Noren pulled up the magic circle lever, forcibly interrupted it, and then looked at the audience and said:
"After three and a half hours, the circle was drawn and activated.
"This is enough to prove that this newly drawn circle has no functional flaws, and my drawing speed can replicate the previous achievement-
"Master Diko, I've proven myself, I wonder if you have any other advice?"
All eyes converged on Dico, who was silent for a moment, then stood up and was the first to applaud Nolan.
"I'm convinced." He sighed and smiled with relief, "You are indeed an out-and-out genius. β
In the past three and a half hours, Nolan's mastery of drawing the new magic circle has convinced everyone present, he is on a different position from Nolan, but he is not a father killer.
At this point, no one questioned Noren's talent, no one questioned the potential of the new rune system.
With the strength shown by Nolan on the spot, the future achievements must be limitless, and if he is stubborn at this point, he will only make himself a laughing stock in the alchemy world.
It's better to spin around on the spot, and maybe you can leave a good story afterwards.
Seeing him take the lead in applauding, everyone in the audience relaxed their bodies that had been stiffened for more than three hours, and gave heartfelt applause to the young alchemist on the stage.
This is the alchemist who is destined to become a legend, either now or later.
Regardless of his position, his talent and performance deserve the recognition of every peer.
"Whoa-la-"
Unlike the sparse applause at the beginning, this applause was quite intense and enthusiastic, and Nolan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly to the audience.
In this way, in the face of unquestionable strength, I think they will no longer have any objections......
He thought to himself, suddenly.
In this enthusiastic applause, there was a piercing "drip" sound -
As if an alarm had been triggered, the applause fell silent.
Everyone looked up, and this time the sound came from a private room on the second floor.
Those who were present and had experience in participating in the meeting knew that the people who were qualified to sit in the box on the second floor were all masters in the alchemy world, or legendary alchemists.
Seeing that the scene was uncontrollable, even a big guy of this level was ready to go down.
It seems that the show has just begun......
