Chapter 1107: Each Side
In a large brightly lit laboratory, Kamel was floating high in the air and monitoring the operation of the equipment in front of him——
A spout-like alloy device formed by multiple rings and sleeves is fixed in the center of the floor of the room. Outside the device is a crystal conduit connected to the ceiling. A large number of runes and mithril conduction structures are organized in an orderly manner. The form of the installation is inlaid in the ground around the installation, and many controls and accessories are displayed next to the walls on both sides of the room.
At this moment, Kamel's gaze was fixed on the crystal conduit in the center of the ground, and on the alloy "spout" at the bottom of the conduit. A blue-white magic flame was quietly gushing out from the spout, forming a A straight energy ray was shot out, and the crystal device at the top of the catheter made a buzzing sound, continuously releasing these pure and powerful energies into the high-energy circuits around the laboratory, maintaining this dangerous and precise balance state.
A magic network terminal not far away suddenly rang at this time. Kamel looked up at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall, then lowered the height and came to the communication platform. With the activation of the device, the projection crystal above A clear projection screen soon appeared, and a beautiful and mature elf lady with blond hair rolled up high appeared in the image: "Master Kamel, good day."
"Great Astromancer Verania, good day," Kamel nodded slightly—this was visually shown by the arcane clouds floating up and down on his head, "Your contact was very punctual—— What were the results of the experiment? Did our newly designed process work?"
"Unfortunately," the great astrologer in the holographic projection sighed, "Although we have successfully created a shielding force field that can isolate all magical effects, the darkroom set in the center of the force field is still disturbed by natural magic. The image presented on the projection board was in an unreadable blur."
The arcane brilliance flowing on Kamel's body paused for a moment, and then he let out an echoing sigh: "Alas... this is really bad news. Our experimental process is theoretically perfect."
"It seems that we underestimated the degree of 'everywhere' magic power in nature," Verania said, "any observation method that has been tried so far cannot rule out the interference of the original magic field, including entering the shadow world, elemental worlds, demiplanes, go deep underground, climb high mountains, and even..."
"Even doing experiments in the Shadow Realm," Kamel sighed, "we can't rule out the interference of primitive magic power in nature, so even if we have prepared extremely pure arcane energy, we can't observe the theoretical interference stripes... ..."
The great astrologist Verania showed a regretful expression on her face, and she looked past Kamel's figure, and saw the huge crystal conduit in the center of the room - the arcane rays in the conduit exuded a bright and constant brilliance, It looked so beautiful that she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Have you successfully created a new emission source?"
"I transformed the magic focuser of the Gondor era on the basis of the technology of contemporary magic theory,
The purity of the prepared arcane jet has increased by about three percentage points compared to before, and the strength has increased even more," Kamel's voice finally brought a hint of excitement? But the good mood only lasted for a short time Time? "But it's still the same sentence, as long as the interference problem can't be solved? No matter how pure the emission source we prepare? There is no way to prove the fluctuating nature of magic power..."
When it came to this extremely helpless topic, the two scholars fell silent at the same time.
Proving the fluctuating nature of magic... Kamel and Verania have been troubled by this issue for a long time? Especially Verania, the great astrologer has even worked hard for nearly half a century.
What exactly is magic? Why is it everywhere? Is it essentially a special substance or an invisible wave? These questions that point to the essence are fatally attractive to the two university scholars? Also have matching difficulty? The most difficult part is not the theoretical deduction, but the final proof-in theory, Verania completed the discussion on the nature of magic fluctuations more than 40 years ago, but in practice? She and Kamel have not found corresponding evidence so far.
The most deadly part is interference? The interference of the ubiquitous original magic field in nature - the most direct way to prove that magic is a wave is to observe the "phenomenon" it produces as a wave, such as Interference fringes, however, in a real experimental environment, any experimental medium that can display interference fringes will also observe the "primitive magic noise" in nature? This noise is like the "background radiation" mapped on the bottom of the entire world It is everywhere, even running through the world of shadows, shadows and all elemental worlds? It surrounds the field of vision of all researchers like a thick layer of fog, even the senior magisters of the Gondor Empire and the great masters of the elves Astromancer? Nor can he find a clear "gap" in this fog.
"...If it can be proved that magic power is a kind of wave, we can explain more than half of the magic power phenomenon in this world?" Verania said? Those records and auxiliary crystals floating around her seemed a little dim? "And if Finding a suitable means of observation means that we have found a means to accurately measure and even control the basic magic power, and control the magic power from the essential level of 'wave', think about it, how many things can be subverted?"
"Yes, yes, I can imagine—we can even artificially manufacture the Deep Blue Well, mass-produced," Kamel spread his hands, "but the premise is to find the means..."
As he said that, he couldn't help shaking his head, and muttered in a complicated tone: "Actually, we can almost confirm that magic power is a kind of wave, haven't we—think about those indirect evidences, and think about the deep foundations of the communication technique." ’, think of the rainbow light generator. If the magic is not a wave, these things cannot be explained.”
"But we still need to find more direct evidence, and more importantly - means of observation, which must be a practical tool that can be quantified, manipulated, and repeated," Verania shook her head, "Oh, let us Putting this long-term question aside for a moment, I would also like to talk to you about some interesting patterns that we have discovered in the recent period of sorting out the observation records of the sun..."
"The observation record of the sun in the southern part of the mainland?" The light on Kamel's body suddenly became slightly brighter, "Then I'm interested."
...
Even though most of Loren Continent has been getting warmer day by day, in the territory of Shenglong Principality located in the extreme north of the continent, the surrounding area of Longlin Fort standing on the top of the mountains is still covered with ice and snow - the gradually slanting sky is coming from The west side sprinkles towards the principality's mountains. This bright light makes the snow line on the mountain peaks more distinct. The slopes below the snow line and the lower and gentler areas are green, and the palace area above the snow line is still white. capped.
Grand Duke Baloger of Dragon's Blood was sitting in a study room on the upper level of the castle. A warm fire was quietly burning not far away. He lowered his head and signed documents on raising food and adjusting foreign exchange reserves. Outside the window next to it, a piece of snow was blown off the eaves by the wind, fluttering across the window, and flying fluttering over the towering stone wall, flying towards the city down the mountain.
In this country of dragon descendants, many cities are built on the hills, and the high and low megalithic buildings will spread from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top of the mountain. Its unique way of building the city is quite similar to that of Tarrond, but it reveals more Raw rough texture. The weather is fine today, and the dragon descendants are busy in these three-dimensional cities, repairing houses, cleaning roads, and preparing for the spring that is nearly a month later than the southern part of the mainland.
This year's city is more lively than in previous years. Many new shops have been established in the urban area below the snow line. There are also foreign merchants and local citizens wearing trendy clothes in the city. Children run between the high and low ramps Frolicking, with candies from the human world in their hands, some children were shouting some human-style moves and names, which often came from some "coloring books" passed among the children, This kind of picture book comes from the human world, there are not many of them, and it is often one or two months late, but it is extremely sought-after.
The chain reaction of "opening the door" is gradually unfolding in the world of dragonborn.
The young dragonborn love the bizarre world in the south—in the picture books depicting fairy tales, the southern kingdom always appears colorful.
But there is also another group of children who choose to follow the tradition-certain steep areas on the edge of the city, open sections of the fence, children cheering and jumping down the worn-out ramp, rolling towards the foot of the mountain , having fun in a series of exclamations and screams, and their terrified parents will soon appear on the city wall, watching the children rolling to the bottom of the mountain screaming - time to play on the ramp It's unwise, if you have to climb all the way back from the foot of the mountain so far, you will obviously miss dinner time. Responsible parents have always paid attention to the health of their children, and not eating on time is obviously harmful to health.
And more importantly: the cold winter has passed, the snow has melted, and the protection of the ice slide has been lost. It is obviously a very dangerous thing to roll down the steep rocks all over the rocks. After some tumbling, it became tattered. Although the clothes made of monster skins were many times stronger than the textiles in the human world, they still couldn't stand up to the mischievous dragon descendants.
Wearing a blue dress, Melita Purnia walked on the streets of this vibrant city, her eyes were full of curiosity, she kept looking around, the daily life of the dragonborn seemed to open her eyes, Golo Sir Shhickel and Lady Azalena, the Dragonblood Witch, walked beside her, acting as guides.
"This is the kingdom of dragonborn..." Melita whispered to herself, "I have been active in the Loren continent for so long, but this is the first time I have come here..."
"After all, there was an ancient taboo between us. Observers of Tarrond are not allowed to step into the Principality of the Holy Dragon, and dragonborn are not allowed to cross the northern border," Sir Gorosh said, "Fortunately, this barrier has ended , The two branches of the Dragon Clan finally have a day to reintegrate."
"Material isolation can be eliminated, but the distance in the heart is not so easy to close." Melita looked at the dragon-born noble next to him, "Many dragon-born should not be willing to accept Tarrond in this way. — especially after Tarrond became what it is now."
"Dragonborn...there is indeed some complicated feelings for primitive dragons," Azalena said softly, "I think you should have considered this before choosing to enter the city with us in this way. Instead of flying directly to Dragon's Landing Castle in the form of a giant dragon?"
"That's definitely one of the reasons, and the other reason is that I also want to take a closer look at your lifestyle," Melita replied, "We have been separated for too long, and there are too many things that need to be done." Re-established, Speaker Andal ordered me to visit the Holy Dragon Principality before returning to Tarrond—this is a task that needs to be taken seriously.”
"Indeed, we have many things that need to be re-established," Sir Gorosh nodded, "and that's exactly what I want to say. Although many dragonborn do have complicated and slightly resistant emotions towards Tarrond, But on the whole, most dragonborn will not really be hostile to their hometown after they learn the truth, especially after they read the information about the current situation of Tarrond, the original relatively strong resistance among the people even There's been a massive shift."
Melita's footsteps couldn't help but stop, and she looked at Gorosh with some surprise: "It's turned into a wasteland now, and it's no longer the perfect 'Homeland Paradise' in ancient legends—"
Golosh nodded: "Yes, everyone can see it."
"Why? Sympathy?" Melita asked with a tone of pure curiosity, "I felt sympathy after seeing the primitive dragons who 'exiled' themselves in the past have been reduced to this point?"
"No, it's admiration." The Dragon Blood Witch said calmly.
...
The city of Cecil was decorated with lights and festoons, and the atmosphere of celebration spread throughout the city—colored flags fluttered in the wind on both sides of the avenue, and several historic scenes from the 112 meeting and high-level events were projected over and over again on the public Magic Net terminals on the streets and squares. With the Union flag flying high, the citizens celebrated this event that was destined to be recorded in history with the enthusiasm of celebrating a grand festival, and countless shops in the city, large and small, also successfully found new reasons for discounts and promotions.
Of course, for Hetty, the chief steward of the empire, who worked hard for the land all day long, all this was not the point. The real point was—the emperor Cecil was back.
The ancestor has finally returned, which means that the long-lost vacation is coming back soon; Rebecca, who was taken out to see the world, is finally back, which means that the good sleep that has been absent for many days due to fear is coming back.
It's just that the fact that the ancestor also brought back an elf queen by the way was a bit unexpected - there was one more thing to arrange, but overall, Hetty was still in a very happy mood.
In Cecil Palace, finally returned to his familiar home, Gawain was completely relaxed.
Silver Queen Belsetia and the accompanying elves have been arranged to live in the highest-standard area of the Autumn Palace. Rebecca has already happily ran back to her room. The speed of Amber's escape is only half a second slower than Rebecca's. , when Gao Wen came to his senses, the surroundings around him became quiet all of a sudden.
After changing into his regular clothes, he sat on a sofa in the hall and breathed a sigh of relief. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Heidi in a red court dress walking towards him with a smile—this great-granddaughter There was fatigue visible to the naked eye, but the smile was extraordinarily bright.
It's just that he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Gao Wen always felt that there seemed to be a trace of...strangeness hidden in Hetty's smile.
"Ancestor, I'm so glad to see you return safely. This time, your glorious name is once again deeply imprinted in history." Even when getting along in private, Hetty always attached great importance to etiquette and rules. Gao Wen bowed and delivered a speech, and then the whole person seemed relaxed, "Rebecca didn't cause trouble outside, did she?"
Gao Wen thought for a while, and quickly deleted a lot of "little problems" that were not that important from his mind, before shaking his head with a smile: "She is very obedient this time, and she has grown a lot."
Hetty immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Afterwards, she briefly reported the recent situation of the Supreme Government Affairs Office to Gao Wen, and asked about some matters during the meeting, and the topic gradually developed in a relaxed and daily direction. After a few chats, her expression suddenly became a little strange: "By the way, ancestor, there is something... I think it is necessary to mention it to you."
"It's rare to see you showing such an expression," Gao Wen became curious, "What's wrong?"
"I just heard about it this morning, and I haven't had time to confirm it yet." Hetty looked around subconsciously, and then she leaned over to Gawain with a strange look and whispered, "I heard... Betty in the past few days It looks weird."
"Betty? Does she look weird?" Gao Wenwan didn't expect to hear such a thing, "Isn't that child always very good... What did she do?"
"It is said that she was watering the egg..."
"Egg? What egg?"
"The egg sent by the Dragon Clan."
"?!"
(I'm going to Haikou for a meeting these days, the update may be unstable, I'll try to keep it updated!!)
