Chapter 207: The Concept of New Magic and the Crisis of the Golden Apple
[Imaginary number: One of the special characteristics of magic. ]
[Things dropped into it will become things that are not bound by space or time. ]
[The most terrifying thing about imaginary magicians is their ability to banish. Once they are sealed in the imaginary space, it is extremely difficult to escape. ]
[It is said that the mythical elves, the original mother, are sleeping in the imaginary space, but there is no record of any imaginary magician encountering them. ]
…………
[Usually in scientific engineering design, problems that cannot be solved in the real domain in the mathematical sense will be converted to other spaces for solution. The most typical ones are Fourier transform, Laplace transform and Z transform. ]
[On the magic level, problems that cannot be solved in the real domain will also be mapped to the imaginary domain. Since the meaning of the vector has changed here, it is necessary to locate them through other means such as fate. ]
Hmm?
Seeing the speech that sounded like a Bengal cat mixed in with a group of Persian cats, Shuoyue raised his eyebrows and subconsciously turned the book to the first page.
The newly printed paper smelled of ink, and on the simple writing, the name of 'El-Melloi II' was listed prominently.
Undoubtedly, such a name was a great provocation to Shuoyue, the 'Acting Head of El-Melloi Family'. Once more people knew about this book, Shuoyue's authority would be greatly hit.
"Wow, are you starting to build momentum now? No, not only that, but you're suddenly studying imaginary magic, probably because of my performance in the Holy Grail War? Whether it's to give an assignment to Lanis or to repay my favor... Wow, then I won't be polite."
However, the threatened person was not angry, but became interested. He temporarily broke away from the ocean of knowledge of imaginary magic and walked quickly to the librarian.
"Lord, Lord El-Melloi..." The librarian, who was a high-ranking official, looked at the boy, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty, "Excuse me, how can I help you?"
"Take it easy." Shuoyue showed a harmless smile, "Help me find all the academic research and books recently published by 'El-Melloi II', please."
Shuoyue's reason was simple. This was the future El-Melloi II and Zhuge Kongming. Waver, who had the 'Eye of Appraisal', personally diagnosed him. The value of this can be imagined, so there was no reason to miss it.
However, Shuoyue thought it was simple, but it was completely different in the eyes of outsiders.
The top-floor data room, which was originally a bit noisy, suddenly fell into a dead silence. The powerful family heads held their breath and exchanged glances carefully, and saw the same idea in each other's eyes.
The monarch of the El-Melloi family, I'm afraid there will be another storm...
But Shuoyue didn't care about these people's boring thoughts. He took Weber's paper from the trembling librarian and read it with great interest.
[Displacement magic: ...Although it is a basic magic, I have had the honor of seeing such magic that is beyond common sense in scale and precision, so I can continue to discuss it...Its disadvantage is that it needs an object, is highly dependent, and has a great demand for mental power...]
[Projection magic: ...Basic magic, but there are also people who use it to perfection...It is less versatile than displacement magic, but it can "create something out of nothing", which is just complementary to displacement magic...]
[Imaginary magic: ...Imaginary magic means infinite possibilities, and can even "seal" the fantasy species that cannot be used into the endless imaginary space, so as to achieve the effect of "summoning and using" in a roundabout way...]
Shuoyue, who was absorbed in reading, did not notice that the shadow behind him was gradually approaching him. The beast shadow with sharp horns on its head was lying on his shoulder, also peeking at the sharp comments in the book, and sometimes raised his head with disdain, or nodded slightly as if thinking.
Such a strange scene fell on the eyes of other magicians, and they would probably only marvel at the strangeness of this young family head.
At the same time, Shuoyue happened to see the most exciting clip. Compared with the basic magic in his hands, Weber's knowledge of imaginary magic was indeed deeper:
[...Imaginary magic is like an inverted mirror, reflecting the world opposite to the real material, and once the rules are understood, it means the possibility of use...]
[For example, projecting the object into the imaginary world, reflecting the mirror image and restoring it through magic, achieving an effect similar to the "substitute curse"...]
Weber's remarks were like a thunder, cracking in Shuoyue's mind. The study, thinking and deduction of the past few days blossomed and bore fruit in this moment, making him feel hearty and happy.
These theories combined with my ideas, if they can succeed... the magic born will be unprecedentedly sophisticated!
Shuoyue subconsciously stroked his arm, feeling the small tremors on his skin.
"You look surprised, boy, or monarch El-Melloi." The voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Shuoyue's thinking.
The white-haired boy narrowed his golden eyes in displeasure and turned his head to see an unkempt old man wearing sunglasses looking at him with a sharp smile.
"——The director of the Summoning Department of the lower-level organization of the Spirit Summoning Department, Locke Belfebon."
Locke Belfebon.
An old magician who belongs to the Soul Summoning Department, which is also the Lord Department where Kenneth's fiancee is. At the same time, he handed over the mission of the Master to Shizi Jieli in the Fate/Apocrypha world, and was blackmailed by Shizi Jie for the priceless Hydra larva specimen.
Although the subspecies Holy Grail War has not yet rampant in this world, the Summoning Department has not been taken seriously, but his identity as the "Lord Agent" is still not to be underestimated, and in a sense, his status is equal to that of Shuoyue.
His arrival also means that the owner of the Soul Summoning Department, Lord Euripides, the father of Kenneth's fiancee, can no longer hold back.
With the information flashing in his mind, Shuoyue knocked on the table and impatiently stopped Belfebon from speaking:
"I have nothing to say to you. Only the Lord is qualified to talk to me. What's more, I am busy looking for a way to deal with the 'Golden Apple' and have no time to deal with the mess left by the previous generation of El-Melloi."
As soon as this was said, many people looked at this impatient young man with unbelievable eyes.
Golden Apple? !
That famous treasure in Greek mythology, the treasure pursued by three goddesses?
Time itself represents mystery, not to mention the well-known treasure like the golden apple.
And now, this young lord said that he wanted to deal with the golden apple, which means... he really has this mythical thing on hand!
Is it youthful vigor, or ignorance and fearlessness?
This is equivalent to the specimen of the young Hydra, or even more precious. Relics of the Age of Gods! It is a treasure worth snatching even if it means breaking your face!
Someone put down the book on the spot and left the reference room calmly. Belfebon was also stunned for a long time before he smiled and nodded: "In this case, I won't bother you, lord, and we will communicate next time when we are free."
"See you later." Shuoyue didn't even raise his head and continued to flip through the book.
After Belfebon left, no one bothered him anymore, and Shuoyue didn't leave the library until dusk.
Returning home under countless prying eyes, there were already two people waiting at home. As soon as Shuoyue entered the door, he was attacked by the two people.
"What are you doing, Shuoyue!" Weber, or the newly appointed El-Melloi II, had a stomachache on his face, "This is a golden apple! Do you think the Clock Tower is a harmonious academic exchange organization? Let alone whether the magicians of the plant department will go crazy because of this, even Baru Yereta, the monarch of the creation department, one of the three great nobles, can't refuse the legendary golden apple of "representation of beauty"!"
"There should be a big battle tonight, right? Oh, once people find out that El-Melloi II and the head of the El-Melloi family are together, such a scene will definitely be very interesting... cough cough cough."
"You are vomiting blood and still come to watch the show, Melvin!" Weber was shocked.
"Of course, we are close friends. Although we can't save you, we can still collect your body. What's more,..." The tuner, who was holding his handkerchief, said vaguely, "Shuoyue told me that he will create a new magic tonight."
"Isn't that why you came here, Weber?"
