"Mathematical Principles of the Philosophy of Magic"...... This is really Douglas' taste...... Fernando has known Douglas for many years, often exchanging magical knowledge with each other, and has a deep understanding of his naming style.
For some reason, when he saw this magic book, Fernando's restless and floating mind suddenly calmed down, just like every time he studied magic, forgetting the dark and heavy reality, forgetting the desperate and lightless situation, and devoting himself to this magnificent and colorful world.
It's a pity that it's hard to even have a place to read magic books quietly now, unless you stay away from all this, how long can you escape if you simply escape?
Fernando's heart rippled again, but his hand had already subconsciously opened the book, and the familiar handwriting jumped into his eyes.
At the beginning is the definition of various symbols and scalars, this part of the content Fernando has participated in the discussion, is not unfamiliar, quickly understood and accepted, and the next official first article, Douglas directly wrote the three laws from the beginning, and made mathematical preparations.
"Three Laws of Motion......" Fernando's breathing became slightly rapid, and he couldn't control his emotions, and what he should have read silently in his mind flowed out of his mouth.
The three laws summarized by Douglas from things are simple and direct, making people suddenly realize their correctness, and the feeling of "isn't this nonsense" suddenly rise, but Fernando feels more from these three laws, the whole world he knows is broken down into countless independent things, and operates and combines according to these three laws!
The mysteries of the world are hidden in the phenomena that people think are natural, and in the truths they think are nonsense!
After reading these three laws, Fernando only felt that his perspective on the world was different!
He completely forgot the heavy setbacks he had suffered before, the desperate cries of the church, and completely immersed himself in the world of this book.
In the second and third chapters, Douglas discussed and proved the motion of objects in ideal environments and obstructed situations with rigorous mathematical methods based on the three major laws, and Fernando's familiar calculus as the main tool throughout the process.
This part of the content is not difficult for Fernando to read, it has accumulated quite deeply, and it feels like it will come naturally after waiting for the point to be broken.
The more he looked at it, the more he admired and sighed, Douglas's three laws are really perfect! This is definitely the most profound exposition of sports in the history of magic!
But his admiration and emotion did not last long, and his pupils were completely occupied by the title of the third article: "On the Laws of Celestial Movement and the Cosmic System".
The content of the first three articles is like a tide of accumulation and the foreshadowing of articles, in this one rushing out, intersecting something called "gravity", which is earth-shattering!
Moreover, Douglas discussed the shape of his planet, the movement of the silver moon, the trajectory of comets, and the tides of the ocean, and then analyzed and constructed a huge cosmic system, including stars, planets, comets, ocean tides and other natural phenomena!
"At that moment, the whole world was in front of me......" Fernando forgot everything and only described his feelings in this sentence in his later notes.
His eyes seemed to have lost focus, a storm was brewing, and countless electric lights were shining.
Hathaway didn't seem to notice the change in Fernando's breath, and still quietly held the paper and pen, checking what it was, the formula and content on it were almost the same as the third article of "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy".
After reading this part, Fernand couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, his hands clenched the book hard, and the veins bulged, as if he was afraid that it would be lost.
It's so expensive!
For a magician, it is too expensive!
After a while, he roared: "Gravity! This is the mysterious force that pulls the movement of the stars?"
His expression became eager, and he took out paper, pen and ink from the storage bag, calculated and deduced it by himself.
The results were very clear, consistent with a large number of astrological observation data, Fernando said to Hathaway excitedly, excitedly and blankly: "This is the mystery of our world?"
"Yes." Hathaway nodded in agreement, although the silver gray eyes were indifferent and ruthless, but there was a layer of water mist, hazy, dreamy and vague, and beautiful, it seemed that she, the royal princess who was not a magician, was also inexplicably moved by the display of the mysteries of the world.
Fernando clenched his right hand into a fist and suddenly hit his head: "It's not an illusion, it's not an illusion!"
His eyes fixed the spell, and he looked at the sky through the curtains that were not thick.
It was late at night, starry and twinkling, but in Fernando's eyes, there were more lines between them, the silver-white lines that bound and drove them.
"There is no magic circle pattern that can be more beautiful and magnificent than it......" Fernando praised sincerely and without omission.
Hathaway stopped the quill in her hand, and looked at Fernando with her clear silver and gray eyes: "Are you desperate?"
Fernando's expression twisted slightly, and his voice became low: "After reading Douglas's "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy", I have a feeling that everything in the universe is under the control of our magicians...... Although there is no hope, I want to shed every last drop of blood for this pride, this pride, and deeper mysteries."
"Moreover, if we are given time to let more magicians understand the laws of celestial movement, understand the mysteries of the universe, and master calculus, there will be a blowout of high-level magicians, archmages, and even legendary magicians."
"For example, after understanding this book, although I have only been promoted to the Eighth Ring for a short time, I am already sure that I will become an archmage within ten years."
Under the emotional agitation, Fernando rarely confided in him.
Hathaway nodded slightly: "It will take time."
Her consistent principle is that she can explain things clearly in two words, never without three words!
"Time, not necessarily without time......" Fernando muttered to himself, his thoughts turning, analyzing the current situation and looking for places to take advantage of.
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped.
"It's here." Hathaway stood up, pushed open the car door, and flew out directly.
Fly, flew out? Fernando's eyes widened, when did this little girl become a magician? And at least five rings!
The driver was Fernando's acquaintance, "Deep Blue Gift" Sharp, who curled his lips and said: "You all broke Hathaway, she secretly went to His Majesty's study and found out the information of 'Elemental Will'."
A legendary organization during the Magical Empire period "Elemental Will" died at the hands of the "Sword of Truth" Hoffenberg, and the information, books and other rumors contained in it were not completely destroyed, but were secretly collected by Hoffenberg.
The corners of Fernando's mouth twitched, I just taught mathematics, never mentioned magic! Don't falsely accuse me!
The place where the carriage stopped was a corner of a secluded manor, and Fernando had just gotten out of the car, and suddenly his heart moved, and his eyes turned to the darkness on the left.
In the darkness, the tall Douglas walked out, his appearance seemed to be a little more mature, like a charming gentleman in his forties.
He looked at Fernando and smiled, and said bluntly: "Four things, one, I have become a legend, a new profession obtained from real-world feedback, I named it 'Magic Chosen Soldier'."
"Second, there are still many archmages and high-level magicians who have survived, and I have rubbed many copies of "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy" and secretly given them to them."
"Third, in the battle of Alto, the legendary magicians did not die, at least seven legends such as 'Lord of the Cold', 'Lord of the Abyss', 'King of the Dark Side', and 'Soul Actor' survived, some hid in the Dark Mountains, some returned to the Northland, and some whose whereabouts are unknown.
He paused and continued: "Fourth, the empire has completely collapsed, and the power of the church has reached its peak, but this also means that in the next time, the conflict between the church and the nobility will become more and more intense."
The current situation, hope for the future, and personal efforts were vividly reflected in these four things of him, which was enough for most desperate magicians to see the dawn of hope!
Even if Fernando had made up his mind just now, listening to Douglas' narration at this time, looking at his confident smile, there was a feeling of light suddenly appearing in the darkness.
But what surprised him was: "You copied the "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy" to all magicians?"
Although he had been saying before that if more magicians saw "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy", their strength would improve by leaps and bounds, but he knew very well that this kind of magic book containing the mysteries of the world, during the period of the three magical empires, was the most precious and cherished secret of every magician, the source of their power over others, and the guarantee of their status, wealth and rights.
For them, this level of magical knowledge is about equal to life!
But Douglas was so calm and so careless that he copied "The Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy" to all magicians?
This is simply against common sense and human nature!
Douglas nodded: "At times like this, you have to break the rules."
He said solemnly and seriously: "Actually, I have never liked the empire's magical communication method, you should know very well that the exchange of magical knowledge and the stirring of thinking will help us get inspiration and research more things, and I have a hunch that future magic research will become more and more in-depth into the essence of the world, more and more difficult, and all magicians must work together and discuss and communicate frankly and selflessly in order to continue."
"I think it is necessary to separate the magical knowledge that can be communicated and the magical knowledge that is limited to private, well, the former should focus on the principles of magic, the nature of the world, etc., maybe we can give it a new name, well, it comes from the mysteries of the world, it is called 'arcane'."
"Arcane?" Fernando repeated, feeling that something old and decadent was being blown down by a fresh and cool breeze.
Just do it! Anyway, there aren't so many old guys pointing fingers!
"Arcane." Hathaway lowered her head slightly, pondering the meaning of the term.
"Arcane ......," Sharp whispered a little puzzled, not understanding why Douglas was struggling to create a new term that was useless in such a dangerous and difficult situation.
Arcane!
