Chapter 21 The Forerunner

"Magic array?"

"Yes, that's a special magic. The magic power in the air is driven by the staff to draw a special pattern on the surface of the envelope. This pattern can allow the magic power mobilized by the caster to stay on the letter for a long time."

"The magic in the air?" Bruno keenly grasped the word in Anel's words and said, "Isn't the magic power the mage himself possess?"

"Of course not!" Anel said naturally.

"My teacher, Glen Galvin, once said when he taught me that magic is the blessing given to the world by the Elemental God, and the breath left by the Creator when he created the world! How could it be given to humans directly?"

Bruno seemed to suddenly understand something and boldly guessed: "So, what you meant is to release spells is actually the process of driving magic in the air for movement? And different types of spells are actually the process of driving magic in different types of movement!"

"Although... your statement is a bit unusual, but... it's roughly what it means." Anel pondered.

Damn it!

Bruno suddenly had the urge to swear.

There are also different categories of magic... Isn't this tm the periodic table of elements 2.0 of the other world version?

What if you promise not to talk about science?

Because if Anel's statement is correct, then the magic that people in this world talk about should be a special element composed of different magic elements free from the air.

Releasing different magic will call different magic elements in the air... What else can this be if this is not an adapted version of the periodic table?

But... what puzzled Bruno the most now is that if his previous guesses were correct, then how could the spells chanted by the mage drive these magical elements in the air?

Is it particularly good for him to sing?

This is obviously impossible, otherwise... why would there be a difference between a mage and an ordinary person?

"Anel, what are the differences between mages and ordinary people?" Bruno asked suddenly.

"What's the difference..." Anel previously thought that mages are different from ordinary people, but suddenly he encountered this question, but suddenly he didn't know how to answer it.

He originally wanted to say that it was a difference in mental power, but... even ordinary people have extraordinary mental power.

"It should be...the perception of magic."

"Sense?" said Bruno, "be more specific."

"The world that the mage sees is different from that of ordinary people." Anel paused, organized the language, and continued: "We can keenly detect the magic power contained in the air, which is everywhere and permeable. Moreover, during the casting process, we can feel the magic power we need gathering in the air. In short, it is a... very wonderful feeling, as if we are integrated with the world..."

Integrate?

Bruno suddenly had a bold idea...

"Can you draw the magic mark on that envelope? No magic, just use strokes on parchment."

"Yes, it's no secret." Anel agreed happily.

Anel was walking on the parchment paper, drawing many intricate but regular lines on the parchment paper, outlining a pattern that looked quite familiar.

"I have been using a staff to draw before, but I am not familiar with the pen..." Anel scratched his head and said

However……

When Bruno widened his eyes and finished looking at the pattern,

I suddenly felt like I was in a bad mood...

Bruno pointed at a line on the pattern and said, "This part of the pattern should be right at the seal of the letter..."

"Yes, wait... you are not a mage, how did you know?" Anel asked in surprise.

Bruno did not answer. He only felt that the style of the world was becoming more and more familiar and scientific, because... although the patterns depicted by Anel had complex stripes and intricate lines, the overall appearance structure was very similar to... electricity, road, and pictures!

The place Bruno refers to before was a switch in this "circuit diagram".

So, if someone disassembles the envelope, then the "circuit" will be short-circuited and will naturally be "burned"...

The "circuit" that is "burned" will definitely leave traces on the envelope, so that the recipient will know whether the envelope has been opened.

That’s right! The principle of this magic mark must be like this!

Bruno felt more and more that the magic of this world... seemed to be a little bit strange...

"Anel, you said...can the suspension technique be attached to building materials through such... magic arrays?"

Before Anel's answer was over, Bruno continued: "This is certainly possible! Since the magic mark can be retained, then the suspension technique can be retained, and perhaps other magic circles are needed, or other methods are needed. In short, such assumptions are absolutely possible!"

"After you go back, try to study the magic circle based on the magic mark!" Bruno reminded.

"I understand, but I don't think..."

"There is nothing to do, after all... practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Anel had no choice but to nod.

Although he felt a little whimsical, he vaguely felt that what he was going to do now might have an unignorable impact on his future and would push himself in an unknown direction.

But...but I don't know whether such a change is good or bad...

No matter what!

With such an opportunity in front of him, Anel would never let it slip away like this. He was never a guy who was willing to be in the status quo, otherwise he would not have left his family and left his country...

What if...it's really possible?

After Anel left, Bruno took out a brand new piece of parchment from the desk drawer and spread it flat on the table...

Outside the window, it was already dark.

The flames in the fireplace are burning, releasing light and heat.

The candlestick on the desk was just lit by Bruno, illuminating the corner of the desk.

Bruno lifted his pen, thought for a moment, and then, under the illumination of the candlelight, he began to write square Chinese characters on the parchment paper.

...

November 13, cloudy—

The magic in this world is far less magical than I had imagined before. The magic power people say is probably just the elemental element contained in the air. The magic array drawn by Anel is very similar to the circuit diagram in general structure. Does this mean that the magic element can be transmitted by some "conductors" in this world like current?

If the above conclusion is true, then the following assumptions are mentioned:

The mage's perception of magic and affinity for magic elements may be due to its special physique, and the spell itself does not have the function of releasing magic. The release of magic is because the sound waves of different frequencies generated by singing different spells will cause certain magic elements or magic molecules in the air to vibrate, thereby producing a certain "magic flow".

The mage itself can act as a "conductor" and the staff acts as a "capacitor", thus converging this "magic flow" onto the staff to complete the process of casting.

The following chapters are quite difficult to write. The author is trying his best to improve a relatively reasonable worldview, but after all, the knowledge reserve is relatively limited, so there may be some missing or unreasonable aspects. You can mention any ideas, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Although the pace of these chapters is a bit slow, please vote!
Chapter completed!
