In a large brightly lit laboratory, Carmel is floating high in the air, 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 order. The shape is embedded on the ground around the device, and there are many control and accessory equipment displayed beside the walls on both sides of the room.
At this moment, Carmel stared at the crystal conduit in the center of the ground, staring at the alloy "spout" at the bottom of the conduit, a blue-white magical flame flow was quietly gushing out of the spout, forming in the conduit With a straight energy ray, the crystal device on the top of the catheter made a buzzing sound, continuously releasing these pure and powerful energy into the high-energy circuit around the laboratory, maintaining this dangerous and precise balance.
A magic net terminal not far away suddenly rang at this moment. Carmel raised his head and glanced at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall, and then lowered his height to the communication station. As the device was activated, the crystal was projected above. Soon a clear projection screen emerged, and a beautiful and mature elf lady with tall blond hair and a beautiful face appeared in the video: "Master Carmel, good day."
"Vilania Great Astrology Master, Good day," Carmel nodded slightly-this is visually shown as the arcane cloud on his head floating up and down, "Your contact is very punctual- How did the experiment result? Did our newly designed process work?"
"It's a pity," the great astrology master in the holographic projection sighed, "Although we succeeded in creating a shielding force field that can isolate all magical effects, the dark room set in the center of the force field is still disturbed by natural magic. The picture presented on the projection board is in a fuzzy state that cannot be read."
The arcane brilliance circulating on Carmel's body suddenly paused, and then he let out an echoing sigh: "Oh...this is really bad news. Our experimental process is theoretically perfect."
"It seems that we underestimated the extent to which magic power is'ubiquitous' in nature," Velania said. "Any kind of observation method tried so far cannot rule out the interference of the original magic field, including entering the shadow world, element Realm, demiplane, go deep underground, climb high mountains, even..."
"Even doing experiments in the shadow world," Carmel sighed. "We can't rule out the original magical interference in nature, so even if we have produced extremely pure arcane energy, we can't observe theoretical interference stripes... …"
Great Astrology Master Verania had a regretful expression on her face, her gaze crossed Carmel's figure, and she saw the huge crystal tube in the center of the room-the arcane rays in the tube exuded a bright and constant brilliance. It looks extraordinarily beautiful, which makes her eyes wide open: "You have successfully created a new emission source?"
"I modified the magic focuser of the Gondor era on the basis of the technology of contemporary magical theory, and the arcane jet produced is about three percentage points higher in purity than before, and its strength is even more improved," Carmel Finally, there was a hint of excitement in his voice, but this good mood only lasted for a short time. "But as long as the interference problem cannot be solved, no matter how pure the emission source we prepare, there is no Ways to prove the fluctuating nature of magic..."
Speaking of this extremely helpless topic, the two academics fell silent at the same time.
Prove the fluctuating nature of magic power... Carmel and Verania have been troubled by this issue for a long time, especially Verania, the great astrology master even devoted nearly half a century to this.
What is the magic power? Why is it everywhere? Is it essentially a special substance or an invisible wave? These essential questions have a fatal attraction for the two scholars and the difficulty of matching them. The most difficult part is not the theoretical deduction, but the final proof-in theory, Verania had completed the discussion of the nature of magical fluctuations more than forty years ago, but in practice, she and Carmel have yet to find corresponding evidence.
The deadliest part is the interference, the interference of the ubiquitous primitive magic field in nature-to prove that magic is a wave, the most direct way is to observe the "phenomenon" it produces as a wave, such as Interference fringes. However, in a realistic experimental environment, any experimental medium that can display interference fringes will also observe the "primitive magic noise" of nature, which is like the "background radiation" mapped on the bottom of the world. It is everywhere, even running through the shadow world, the shadow world, and all elemental worlds. It surrounds the field of vision of all researchers like a thick mist, even the senior mages of the Gondor Empire and the great elves. The astrology master could not find a clear "gap" in this mist.
"...If we can prove that magic is a wave, we can explain more than half of the magic phenomena in this world," Verania said, the records and auxiliary crystals floating beside her looked a little dim, "and if Finding a suitable observation method means that we have found a method to accurately measure and even control the basic magic power, and to control the magic power from the essence of the wave. Think about it, how much can this subvert?"
"Yes, yes, I can imagine-we can even artificially create the Deep Blue Well, mass-produced," Carmel opened his hands, "but the premise is to find the means..."
As he said, he couldn't help shaking his head and muttering in a complicated tone: "In fact, we can almost confirm that magic is a wave, right? Think about the indirect evidence, think about the deep foundation of communication. ', think of the rainbow light generator. If the magic is not a wave, there is no way to explain these things."
"But we still need to find more direct evidence, and more importantly-observation means, that must be a practical tool that can be quantified, manipulated, and reproduced," Verania shook her head. "Alas, let us Let's put this long-term problem aside for now, I also want to talk to you about some interesting patterns we have discovered when we collate our observation records of the sun in the recent past..."
"The observation record of the sun in the southern part of the mainland?" Kamel's body suddenly became a little brighter, "Then I will be interested."
……
Even though most of the Loren continent has become warmer, it is located in the territory of the Holy Dragon Principality in the far north of the continent, and the surrounding Longlin Fort, which stands on the top of the mountains, is still covered with ice and snow-the gradually slanting sky is shining from The west side spreads to the mountains of the Principality. This bright brilliance makes the snow lines on the peaks appear more vivid. The slopes below the snow lines and the more gentle areas below are greenish, and the palace area above the snow lines is still white. White.
Dragon Blood Grand Duke Balogr sat in a study on the upper floors of the castle. The warm fire was burning quietly not far away. He bowed his head and signed a document on raising grain and adjusting foreign exchange reserves. Outside the next window, a piece of snow was blown off the eaves by the wind, fluttered past the window, fluttered past the towering stone walls, and flew towards the city below the mountain.
In this dragonborn country, many cities are built on the hillside, and the high and low monolithic buildings will spread all the way from the foot of the hill to the top of the hill. Its unique method of fortification is quite similar to that of Tarrond, but reveals more Original 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 late than the southern part of the mainland.
This year’s city looks more lively than in previous years. Many new shops have been established in the city below the snow line. There are also foreign merchants and local citizens wearing trendy clothing in the city. Children run between the high and low ramps. Frolicking, they were holding candies from the human world, and some children were yelling about certain human style moves and names. These moves and names often came from some "color picture books" passed down among children. This kind of paintings come from the human world, there are not many, and they tend to be one or two months later, but they are extremely popular.
The chain reaction of "opening the door" is gradually appearing in the world of Dragonborn.
The young dragon descendants like the bizarre world in the south—in the painting book depicting fairy tales, the country in the south always appears colorful.
But there is also another group of children who choose to follow the tradition-some steep areas on the edge of the city, the open section of the wall, the children cheered and jumped off the smooth **** that had been polished, and rolled towards the foot of the mountain. , Enjoy the happiness in a series of exclamations and screams, and their furious parents will soon appear on the city wall, watching the children rolling to the foot of the mountain screaming-this time to play on the ramp It is not wise to climb back from the foot of the mountain so far. It is obvious that you will miss dinner time. The responsible parents always pay attention to the health of the children. It is obviously harmful to health if you do not eat on time.
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 mountains and rocks covered with rocks. Brand new clothes are often in After a round of tumbling, it became tattered. Although the clothing made of warcraft leather is many times stronger than the textiles of the human world, it can't stand the mischief of the naughty dragon descendants.
Melita Penia, wearing a blue long dress, walks on the streets of this vibrant city, her eyes full of curiosity. She keeps looking around. The daily life of the Dragonborns seems to have opened her eyes, Golo Sir Shickel and Ms. Ashalena, the Dragon Blood Witch, walked beside her, acting as guides.
"This is the kingdom of the dragonborn..." Melita whispered to herself, "I have been active in Loren 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 must not enter the Principality of the Holy Dragon, and the Dragonborn must not cross the northern border," said Sir Goros. "Fortunately, this gap has ended. , The two branches of the Dragon Clan finally have a day of reintegration."
"Material isolation can be eliminated, and the distance in my heart is not so easy to close," Melita looked at the dragonborn noble next to her, "Many dragonborn should not be willing to accept Tarrond in this way, right? ——Especially after Tarrond became the state he is now."
"Dragonborn... is indeed a bit complicated in the feelings of primitive dragons," Ashalena said softly, "I think you should have taken this into consideration and chose to use this form to enter the city with us. Instead of flying directly to Longlin Fort in the form of a giant dragon?"
"This is indeed 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 so many things we need. To re-establish, Speaker Andar ordered me to visit the Principality of Holy Dragon before returning to Tarrond-this is a task that needs to be taken seriously."
"Indeed, we have a lot to rebuild," Sir Gorosh nodded, "and this is what I want to say. Although many dragonborn do have complex and slightly resistant emotions towards Tarrond, But on the whole, most dragon descendants will not truly be hostile to their hometown after they learn the truth, especially after they see the information about the status quo of Talrond, there was a strong resistance and even resistance among the people. A wide range of changes have taken place."
Merita couldn’t help but stop, she looked at Golos with a little surprise: “It’s now a wasteland, and it’s no longer the perfect ‘homeland paradise’ in ancient legends—”
Golosh nodded: "Yes, everyone can see it."
"Why? Sympathy?" Melita asked with pure curiosity, "I felt sympathy after seeing the primitive dragon that exiled me in the past has fallen to this point?"
"No, it's admiration." The Dragon Blood Witch said calmly.
……
The city of Cecil was decorated with lights and festivities, and the atmosphere of celebration spread throughout the city-colored flags were fluttering in the wind on both sides of the avenue, and the public magic net terminals on the streets and squares projected several historical scenes from the 112 meeting and high With the flying flag of the Alliance, the citizens celebrated this event destined to go down in history with the enthusiasm of celebrating a grand festival, and the countless shops in the city also successfully found new reasons for discount sales.
Of course, for the chief steward of the empire, Heidi, who worked hard for this land all day, all this is not the point. The real point is-the Emperor Cecil is back.
The ancestors have finally returned, which means that the long-lost vacation is coming back soon; Rebecca, who was taken out to meet the world, is finally back, which means that a good sleep after a long absence due to fear is coming back.
It’s just that the old ancestor brought back an Elf Queen by the way. It was a bit beyond expectation—there was one more thing that needed to be arranged, but overall, Heidi was still in a very happy mood.
In Cecil Palace, he finally returned to his familiar home, and Gawain was completely relaxed.
The Silver Empress Belsetia and the accompanying elves have been arranged to live in the highest-spec area of the Autumn Palace. Rebecca has already happily ran back to her room. The speed of Amber Slipper is only half a second slower than Rebecca. , When Gawain reacted, his side had suddenly calmed down.
After changing his normal clothes, he sat on a sofa in the hall and let out a sigh of relief. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Hetty in a red palace dress walking towards him with a smile-the granddaughter of Zeng xN There was fatigue visible to the naked eye in his expression, but his smile was particularly bright.
I just don’t know if it’s an illusion. Gawain always feels that Hetty’s smile still seems to be... weird.
"My ancestors, I am so glad to see you return safely. This time, your glorious name is deeply imprinted in history." Even when getting along in private, Heidi always attaches great importance to etiquette and rules. Gawain bowed to salute and delivered a speech, and then the whole talent seemed to relax, "Rebecca didn't get into trouble outside, right?"
Gao Wen thought for a while, and quickly deleted a lot of not-so-important "small questions" from his mind, then smiled and shook his head: "She is very obedient this time, and has grown a lot."
Herty was relieved immediately: "That's good."
After that, she briefly reported to Gao Wen about the recent situation of the Supreme Council, and asked about some things during the meeting, and the topic gradually expanded in a relaxed and daily direction. After a few chats, her expression suddenly brought a little weirdness: "By the way, ancestors, there is something...I think it is necessary to mention it to you."
"It's rare to see you showing this expression," Gawain became curious. "What's wrong?"
"I just heard about it this morning, and I haven't had time to confirm it," Heidi looked around subconsciously, and then approached Gao Wen with a weird appearance and whispered, "I heard... Betty in the last few days. It looks weird."
"Betty? She looks weird?" Gao Wenwan didn't expect to hear this kind of thing, "Isn't that kid always nice...what did she do?"
"It is said that she is watering the egg..."
"Egg? What egg?"
"The egg sent by the dragon clan."
"?!"
(I am going to Haikou for a meeting these days, the update may be unstable, I try to keep it updated!!)
