Watching Kamel disassemble the important magic pattern structures in the crown and display them in mid-air, Gawain showed a rather interested expression: "With this thing, can we crack the mystery of the communication technology?"
"At least it can bring us quite close, and if you don't consider the deep mysteries and just want to create a practical communication device, then it is enough," Kamel said happily, "This crown It includes all the necessary rune arrays - including the structure to convert information into magic shock, emit magic shock outward, receive external information, etc. However, we still have problems to solve... The cost of this crown is very high. High, and the structure is extremely complex. Human consciousness is a thing with an extremely large amount of information. In order to transmit human consciousness stably, this crown is solidified with around mid-level spiritual spells... I don't think we need to do that. To this extent."
Gawain understands what Kamel means, and this is what he himself often emphasizes: industrial products follow the principle of practicality and sufficiency, especially when distributed to ordinary soldiers, workers, etc. As long as a mass-produced product can meet the usage requirements, it is a qualified product. And does the mass-produced communication equipment being developed by Cecil Ling need to be able to transmit human consciousness as a whole?
At least it is not needed for now. All Gawain requires is the most basic communication platform. As long as it can transmit sound, even Morse code is acceptable.
So a lot of the complex structures in this crown can be omitted.
"The projects of manufacturing mass-produced communication equipment and cracking the psychic network must be carried out simultaneously. One goal is low-end practicality, and the other is cutting-edge research," Gawain made a decision, "In addition, regarding the natural world Have you recently discovered the relationship between the magic environment in the world and the magic field generated by the obelisk?"
"This is exactly what I am going to report to you," Kamel's tone immediately became serious. , "After discovering that oscillating magic power can spread in the magic field, I thought of the process of communication spells transmitting information in the natural environment. I have the same view as you. The 'original magic environment' in nature is probably also a kind of magic field. ——A magic field that appears to be disordered, messy, and randomly oscillating. Based on this conjecture, I conducted an experiment a few days ago..."
Gawain nodded: "Go on. "
"I set up a magic circle at the highest point of the Dark Mountain - it is far away from the ground and can avoid interference from various creatures and magic devices on the surface to the greatest extent. Then I set up a magic circle around the magic circle. A large number of shielding and filtering runes are used to filter out various clutter in the natural environment. During the following days of observation, I discovered a very short regular tremor..."
"Regular tremors?" Gawain's heart moved and he asked immediately.
"Yes, it lasted less than a second, and was only observed once," Kamel nodded, "I can't make any conclusions yet, but I think our thinking is correct. ...the original nature of natureThe magic environment should indeed be an extremely huge magic field. This magic field covers our entire world and vibrates endlessly. However, the way this magic field vibrates is very complex, and there is a lot of interference in it - everything in the world has magic power. , even the magic material used to create the observation circle is one of the interference factors, so it is almost impossible for us to determine the complete laws of the magic field in nature, but in that regular tremor of less than a second, we can still boldly Assuming the existence of this magic field..."
"Interference..." Gawain muttered to himself and repeated the most important words in Kamel's passage.
Currently What he has discovered so far is just as he suspected - magic has the nature of fluctuation, and the "original magic environment" in nature is an extremely huge magic field. The so-called magic is most likely the fluctuating magic power oscillating in this field. The various energy transfer phenomena produced...
This is an extremely imprecise model and a conjecture that seriously lacks empirical evidence. From a scientific and reasonable perspective, it cannot yet be regarded as a "scientific point of view" , but it is the most likely explanation for the magic in this world that Gawain can think of so far.
Gawain knows that the process of proving a conjecture is very rigorous, if there is not enough data. And empirical evidence, no matter how perfect this conjecture is, it cannot be regarded as a "fact". Kamel also knows this, so this ancient magician used the word "bold hypothesis" more than once when talking about his experimental conclusions. The same kind of words, but to obtain further experimental results... it is obviously difficult to achieve it under the current conditions.
Interference from the experimental observation device itself, interference everywhere in nature, how should these... Solve it?
Gawain fell into deep thought for a moment, but soon he saw Pitman leaving Patty from the corner of his eye, and he temporarily put aside all the problems in his mind. , nodded to the old Druid: "How is the situation? "
"I'm afraid you won't be able to restore her limbs to health," Pitman said frankly. "This child's limbs have been lost for many years, and she has no magical talent. She can regenerate flesh and blood. It is impossible for her to regrow her arms and legs with magic—unless it is possible to use the evil magic of the All-Death Society that relies on devouring other people's flesh to reshape the body. I can't do this. If you are interested, you can find a way to find a cultist..."
Lady Luo Penni's face changed color on the spot, while Gawain didn't wait for the little old man. After finishing speaking, he interrupted him: "Don't say it's unreasonable, tell me something feasible. "
"The feasible solution is - I can at least control her organ decline and tissue ulceration," Pitman raised the corners of his mouth and said proudly, "This child's wounds will never heal. , part of the flesh and blood has been repeating the process of ulceration and regeneration. The main reason is that its own vitality has been destroyed, and harmful magic has invaded her circulation center. I have a way to remove these harmfulThe magic separates. "
Luo Penni stood quietly aside when Gawain and Kamel discussed the problem, but when talking about her daughter's problem, she could no longer remain silent: "This way she can get better. To what extent? ”
“You no longer have to worry about her worsening from infection, her injuries can heal and her strength will improve – after that, she can at least dress normally. "
"That's far better than I imagined," Luo Penni showed a hint of joy on her face. With a sincere smile, she bent down to Pitman, "Thank you very much for your help, respect. The master. ”
Pitman suddenly smiled, and while stroking his beard, he showed a reserved and graceful smile: “Completing the mission assigned by the lord is the most basic duty of an advisor - of course you can praise me a few more times. I don’t mind either..."
Luo Penni: "? "
"Ahem," Gawain knew at a glance that the little old man was starting to wander again, and quickly interrupted him with two dry coughs, "How long does the treatment take? "
"Well...I'm afraid this is a relatively long process," Pitman looked at Gawain's arms, which were thicker than his thighs, and quickly returned to a serious expression, "This child's body has always been... She can’t afford too much magical stimulation, and the amount of magic medicine must be controlled - I can perform an elemental purification ceremony for her every once in a while, and when the situation stabilizes, I can send my apprentice over to give her medicine. . "
As he spoke, he looked at Gawain - this kind of thing that required frequent travel between the two territories obviously required the consent of the lord.
Gawain Slightly pondering: General Grenn is an ally of Cecil, and Patty is also an important springboard for him to understand and spy on the Eternal Sleeper. He should help based on circumstances and reasons, but Pitman himself is not just a druid. He is also the top person in charge of the alchemy industry and agricultural consultant in the territory. Now that winter is coming to an end, spring plowing will be considered after the Recovery Moon. The alchemy factory in the territory is also considering expansion... Can Pittman leave at this time? < /p>
However, after thinking briefly, he nodded: "Yes - but you have to make arrangements for spring plowing and factory expansion. "
"Of course," Pittman laughed, "that's not a problem for me. "
After Dame Luo Penni went to check on Patty and there was no one else around, Gawain looked at Pittman with a half-smile: "Your ritual magic is indeed very useful." "
The little old man chuckled: "After all, ritual magic is my strong point. "
"But elemental purification and filtering harmful magic...are not skills that low-level druids can master," Gawain said lightly, "Is it possible that you also practiced shamanic spells by the way? ? ”
“At such an old age, it is normal to learn a few more trades. "Pittman said casually.
"...Is it interesting for you to mention your age in front of me? "Gawain raised his hand and ended his words lightly.Question, no more questions were asked.
Pitman just looked at Gawain's back quietly as he turned and left. After a long time, the old Druid sighed slightly and shook his head, with a slight smile on his face.
Three days later, Gawain and others left the ancient castle of the Grant family and returned to Cecil territory.
This is the last day of winter.
The cold north wind is no longer mixed with the biting cold, and the "Reef Star" and "Trident Throne" hanging high in the night sky have also quietly moved their positions, indicating the changes in the wind and stars. As the seasons change, the month of recovery arrives.
With the advent of the Moon of Recovery, a piece of news began to spread in the eastern Ansu region and the Holy Spirit Plains. At first, only traders and adventurers coming and going were spreading some unknown and untrue rumors, but Soon, more accurate and reliable news came from the nobles' grooms and chefs -
The magic communication tower on the border between Anzu and Typhon has been restarted.
The king is preparing for peace negotiations with Emperor Typhon.
But for Gawain, compared to this news that he had expected, there was another thing that made him want to celebrate even more.
On this still cold spring day, a baby was born on the land of Cecil Territory.
From the time the first stakes were laid in this pioneering territory, from the time the survivors lit the first campfires here, tens of thousands of people moved into this land in nearly a year. The Kant territory that had just been annexed to Cecil was the first newborn born on this land.
