Chapter 1299 Winter Night at Paramel Observatory
The night was low, and the clear starry sky shrouded the quiet Paramer Heights. The cold wind of deep winter whizzed in from afar, bringing a muffled atmosphere between the high walls made of cement and the supporting beams made of metal. Weeping, the majestic and towering observatory stands on this high ground that has almost become the flashpoint of the war between the two great human empires, standing in this cold winter night.
The highly sophisticated lens group is slowly returning to its position under the adjustment of the mechanical device. Several flickering runes can be faintly seen in the night directly above the observatory. The night sky outlined between the runes is far clearer than the sky in other areas. There is a layer of color like a filter covering the sky full of stars, accompanied by the low sound brought by the cold wind, another set of lenses and crystal arrays rise from the slowly opening dome on the top of the building, pointing to the already Located near the constellation Frost Sky, the highest point in the night sky.
In the observatory, Morgan Hugo, who was full of white hair and thin, handed over the follow-up observation and recording work to his assistant. He walked towards the rest area with a little tired steps, and saw his close friend, No. The second person in charge, Benjamin, was sitting at the round table, holding a publication in his hand, his brows were furrowed like a wrinkled cotton cloth.
Probably hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Benjamin, who was frowning and staring at the publication in his hand, raised his head. After seeing Morgan's figure clearly, the former court mage from Saint-Sunil opened his eyebrows slightly. A smile appeared on his face: "Ah, it looks like you're finally done with your work."
"Every time the Frost Sky Constellation reaches its highest point, the lens group here must be recalibrated. I don't worry about handing this matter over to those careless young people. If the main lens is damaged, I will feel distressed to death," Morgan said casually. Immediately afterwards, a curious expression appeared on his face, "What are you looking at? I think your expression looks like you are going out to fight someone."
When Benjamin heard this, his complexion was even worse than before. The dark-skinned former court mage couldn't help but waved the publication in his hand and complained loudly to his old friend: "The paper, a new article published in the magazine Frontier of Magic, Disturbing thesis! Damn, you're right, I'm kind of looking for a duel right now, and a nice shower with big fireballs and lightning bolts is more relaxing than seeing this!"
"Ha, a thesis can drive our university students crazy to such an extent. The last time I saw you look like this was after reading the detailed explanation of rune logic without sleep for three days and three nights," Morgan said. Seeing the exaggerated appearance of his old friend, he couldn't help laughing out loud. Wrinkles were piled up on his old face. He stretched out his hand forward, "Let me see, too, to see what kind of magic power is in this text. A great magician tosses like this"
He took over the Magic Frontier magazine from the other party. This is the most authoritative and professional technical publication in the field of magic technology, which is officially published by the Magic Technology Department of the Empire and edited by His Royal Highness Rebecca and Master Kamel. The circulation is not large, but every modern scholar who has certain attainments in magic and can keep up with the times is proud to own and read through each issue of Frontiers of magic, and Morgan himself is no exception. Too busy to find out what's in the latest issue of the journal.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you'd better cast a calming spell on your brain first," Benjamin looked into Morgan's eyes, and reminded a little angrily and narrowly, "Open up the basics of all things behind the magic wave attribute. The extended conjecture of the article, yes, the one that takes up half of the book, read it quickly first, it will be good for your mind.”
"Is it so long? And what's the matter with this strange title?" Morgan muttered in surprise, and soon found the article that occupied the largest space in the entire journal. I frowned, "This stiff and unfamiliar grammar, spelling that is almost on the passing line, and unserious and irregular words and sentences. Is this really a paper that can be published on the Frontier of Magic? My granddaughter's diary is all Much smoother than this!!"
"It's not that bad,
Old friend, although the grammar of this article is indeed a little rusty, it has at least made the narrative clear and readable," Benjamin sighed, and said unhurriedly, "The author's choice of words and sentences seems to be the first I was a novice writing a thesis once, but all the content related to theory and knowledge is extremely accurate and professional. This is also an important reason why I realized its core value. You should read it carefully, and its content is the most worthy of your attention. of. "
"Content?" Morgan frowned, and muttered softly while turning down the pages of the book, "Indeed, the part about the magic wave experiment and the parameters are all right, and here is eh?"
The old mage flipped down page by page, quickly read and analyzed the content of the thesis with the help of magic, the expression on his face became more and more exciting, and his brows became more and more furrowed. Finally, he just sat down directly. When he got to the side of Benjamin, he gritted his teeth and looked down while subconsciously shaking his body back and forth. Netebe: High-intensity thinking and overly devoted reading will definitely make your mouth dry.
"This is an idea that people can think of!?" Morgan couldn't help but said before he finished the thesis. Friends, "The microscopic basis of all things is waves or tremor units with wave properties. All existence in the world has a unified nature at the bottom of the world. The difference between matter and energy is only the difference in wavelength and frequency, and the magic power is extremely powerful. It may be a wave of the most special nature, which permeates the entire universe and acts on everything, so the interaction of many magic powers and matter is possible. What is this?!"
"Look, I reminded you," Benjamin didn't have the initial excitement at this time, but was still smiling to comfort Morgan, with a kind of "Although the poor Taoist is dead, but seeing fellow Taoist It’s such a joy to die in the same pit.” Although he probably couldn’t think of such a subtle metaphor, he poured another cup of tea and said kindly while pushing it over, “You should calm down, your age Much bigger than me."
"You've calmed down now!" Morgan stared, subconsciously waving the journal in his hand, "Have you read it all? Can you accept this conclusion? Our entire material world should essentially originate from a certain origin point." A special tremor, the whole reality we know is very likely to be a very short-lived orderly ripple in a tremor of infinite scale. Divide it down, then the most basic unit is also trembling, and it may even interfere with other substances at specific wavelengths and frequencies!! I have never heard such absurd things in my life!"
"But you can't falsify it, can you?" Benjamin spread his hands, "The logic of the whole article is self-consistent."
"Nonsense! Of course it is self-consistent! It is a hypothesis deduced from a limited number of phenomena and an observational experience that no one can verify from the beginning to the end! Suppose you understand? It didn't say that it must It’s true, how do you ask me to falsify it?! Your Majesty the Magic Empress, it’s okay to make assumptions, but I can’t do something so outrageous.”
Morgan muttered with a wrinkled face, as if he was so annoyed to see an overly absurd "article on folk magic research" appearing in such a professional journal, so that he didn't notice the old friend beside him There was a weird smile on his face just now, and then he couldn't help turning over the magazine, and quickly flipped to the end of the paper, muttering to himself while flipping through: "I want to see what's behind it!" Oh my God, what is this? There is no need to cite any references in this article, Benjamin! How dare you write that in a paper! Who does this author think he is? The source of all laws? Or think he is the emperor His Majesty?!
"No, I want to see who wrote this, and who actually allowed such a paper to pass, and published it on the Frontier of Magic Guidance in a grand manner. I must post an article to question the rigor of this paper."
The old mage, who is strict by nature, couldn't help complaining loudly. This was an instinctive resistance after seeing strangers barging in and messing around in the field he loved. He turned the pages of the book to the end while talking, and beside Amidst Benjamin's increasingly weird smile, his complaints stopped abruptly.
Almost all the names of big names and surnames he knows in the field of magic and runes in China are listed on it.
And before those names, there were two names that he didn't even dare to think about.
"Come, have a cup of tea," Benjamin pushed the already cold tea forward, and said with a pleasant face, "Go out and find someone to fight in a while."
"I'm going to duel with you, right now, have you been waiting to see my jokes since just now?" Morgan finally came to his senses, staring at his old friend next to him, and then he suddenly became nervous again He shrank his neck and looked around, lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "I didn't scold you too badly just now, did I?"
"Thank you for your own upbringing, the lack of vocabulary in the field of swearing makes your performance just now not too outrageous," Benjamin shrugged, "And to be honest, I think this paper puts the names of the authors Putting it last should be intentional, but you and I don’t have to scare ourselves too much, we don’t live under a high-pressure and strict monarch.”
"No, what I'm most nervous about is not His Majesty's name, although that also makes me nervous, but I'm more concerned about the other," Morgan still lowered his voice subconsciously, as if he was afraid of a certain word he accidentally said It will touch some indescribable power, "Have you noticed? That name is Mir Mina"
"Maybe it's just a duplicate name?" Benjamin's expression was obviously hesitant for a moment, but he still shook his head and said, "Don't think too much."
"It's not easy to have the same name, my old friend," Morgan said in a low voice. "A countryman who hasn't read many books may still be able to name his own child like this, but a person who can do it in magic Do you believe that the person who publishes this kind of paper on the frontier and can hang those names at the end of the article, or her parents, will not know which existence Mir Mina is pointing to?"
"Don't think too much, Morgan," Benjamin shook his head lightly, "The existence you mentioned has already fallen."
"Yes, it has fallen, but you and I have been in touch with the project of the Theocracy Council, and you also know the role of the Observatory, and we know some truths."
Listening to Morgan's cryptic remarks, Benjamin certainly knew what the old friend was referring to. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on the open periodical. The name that is very familiar to all mages provoked His gaze, after a long silence, he whispered: "When you heard about His fall, were you sad?"
"It's actually okay, I don't think I'm a devout believer, or most of the world doesn't have any devout magic believers," Morgan sighed and shook his head, "But I still sent a Staying at night, I have never heard of such a thing, the first time I experienced it, I didn’t know what to do at the time”
"I'm about the same as you," Benjamin poured himself a cup of tea, "but then the Theocracy Council was established, and I, like you, added another lower-level establishment of the Theocracy Council in addition to my normal public duties. Got some news"
Morgan bowed his head and remained silent. He just raised his finger and lightly brushed the pages of the printed book. After his fingertips stayed on a name for a moment, he suddenly said, "If this is really her, tell me."
"Isn't that great?"
There was a smile in the old friend's voice, and Morgan raised his head somewhat unexpectedly with this brisk emotion.
"We are very close to her this time," Benjamin said with a smile, as if he had figured something out, "We could only pray to her before, but we couldn't even hear a response, worshiping an illusory symbol, but that symbol explained Nothing, but now you have her thoughts in your hands, what she is thinking, what she is studying, what she wants to discuss with us, it is written here clearly, we can even tell at a glance, ma'am Her grammar is terrible, it's obviously her first time writing something, and it's even possible that her paper has been polished by someone else."
"Hey, that's a little disrespectful of you to say that"
"Didn't you just say that too!"
"That's true," Morgan muttered with a weird expression, his expression seemed a little confused, "Indeed, after reading this article, I seem to feel very strange about that lady that she is studying like us. And research these things? And she also asked our Majesty and Master Kamel to join them."
Benjamin squeezed his eyes: "Then do you still consider posting a question?"
Morgan was stunned for a moment.
But after a moment of sluggishness, the old mage from the Royal Astrologer of Saint-Sunil seemed to be inspired by some kind of fighting spirit, his eyes widened and his neck straightened: "Write, why don't you write! Didn't you see the text at the end of the article?" Is there a paragraph specifically written in bold font? This article is only a superficial guess about the underlying truth of our world, and should not be regarded as any kind of judgment or conclusion. All scholars who are interested in this are welcome. On the academic road, any rigorous and reasonable questioning voice does not have to bow to any authority. There is no such sentence in the back of ordinary papers, which is obviously left to us by His Majesty and that lady on purpose!"
