Chapter 362 Desperate?
What is magic?
What is the biggest difference between magic and mechanical science?
When I was on Earth, Luo Lin also discussed it in many communities and people when he was idle. Many people believe that after the high development of magic, it is science. The reason why the two sides have different forms is just because the rules of their respective worlds are different.
Rollin once thought so, but after he came to this world and came into contact with real magic, he truly realized the essential difference between the two sides.
Mechanical science is just a deduction of matter and energy, no matter how complex it is, it cannot escape this range. However, magic is the brilliant fireworks blooming from life and soul, and its power source is directly related to the soul.
One is simply a thing, the other is mixed with spirituality.
Things can be easily copied. But they are unique in spirit and distinct in personality.
There are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no two magicians who can hardly distinguish each other, because each magician's magic is full of strong personal colors, even if even magic apprentices can distinguish each other.
Rolling's problem surface is how to accurately copy a large mass three-dimensional object with derivative magic, not just a thin magic scroll.
But the essence of this idea is to use magic without repetition to exert the same effect as mechanical science and accurately copy the same magic musket. This is almost a paradox and a thousand-year problem in the magic world.
Therefore, since Rolling asked the question, the magicians of Fort Mosalon have basically shook their heads, thinking that this is impossible to achieve, including Viana.
But this time, Rollin was very determined.
As a marshal, he had to publicly post an announcement at the gate of the magic tower. The announcement promised that no matter who could solve the thousand-year problem of magic, he would be personally advised by Master Viana and obtained 100 kilograms of amethyst collected from the giant mountain giant of Warcraft in another world.
*Shi Weina's advice is naturally needless to say. Few people know about amethyst, but it's okay. There are some samples in the magic tower. These samples show that these amethysts have almost perfect guidance ability for magic and are the key materials for making eternal magic arrays.
One hundred kilograms. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a priceless city.
For a moment, the magicians at Daqiao Fortress fell into a state of madness and were all doing this after work. Although the possibility of this matter is very small, what if they are favored by the gods?
The announcement also spread rapidly in the northern continent and then spread from the northern border to the Principality of Oraki.
More than a month later, almost all human magicians knew about this announcement. Some were eager to try and some watched coldly, but most magicians were sarcastic. The magicians thought that Mosalen's Viana Master was crazy, no, to be precise, the marshal of the Silver Crusader was crazy.
Solve the thousand-year problem of derived magic? This is not a problem that can be solved by reward alone. It depends on the revelation of the gods. In more than a thousand years, many genius magicians have used their lifelong efforts to verify this fact.
Mosalen Bridge Fortress.
Viana also smiled bitterly. To be honest, she did not agree with Rollin's approach in her heart, but there was no way. Rollin insisted on experimenting, and she could only support it. If the gods really favored it, it would be a great thing to accidentally solve this problem.
It's night now. Of course, Viana didn't stay in the magic tower. She was like Rollin. She was also ecstatic and could not stop. These nights, either Rollin secretly went to the magic tower to find her, or she ran to find Rollin.
Half and half of the two of them, dry fire encountered fire. Tonight, it was Viana who came to find Rollin.
It was already a storm before, and it was already slumping. She lay in Luo Lin's arms, touching the muscles on Luo Lin's abdomen with her hands, and said lazily: "I really don't know what crazy you are, and I have to give you a reward."
Rollin had just finished dealing with a day before, but it was not just an ordinary business. It had been handled long ago, but a letter about solving the problem of derivative magic.
These letters were sent from all over the mainland, and they said confidently that they had solved the key problems. After verification, they were all nonsense liars. I really don’t know what these guys are thinking about, and Rollin was too lazy to hold these liars or arrogant men accountable.
One percent is a bit real, but what is proposed is so-called conjecture that requires a large cost to verify.
Regarding these conjectures, Rollin asked the two masters in the magic tower to evaluate them. If it is really worth a try, Rollin will spend a lot of money to test.
After more than a month, I tried two guesses and spent more than 20,000 gold coins, but I still got nothing and made no progress.
Now, the reward announcement of Fort Mosalon, including himself, is slowly becoming a joke on the Starlight Continent. It is said that when people encounter unsolvable and unrealistic problems, they will joke that this is the "marshal's trouble", which is really ridiculous.
Luo Lin was also a little tired, but of course he would not retreat. He unconsciously played with the roundness of Viana's chest with one hand, sighing and laughing: "There is no motivation without a reward. When I read history books, I found that many key breakthroughs in magic theory were discovered by a small person inadvertently. These small people have an extreme desire for fame and fortune, and these things can greatly stimulate their creativity."
"You're right?" What else can Viana say, she always needs to support her anyway.
After a while of silence, Viana said again: "I heard that the werewolf scout came back with bad news, saying that the number of demons in the south has increased greatly, and there are many small demons I have never seen before. Such little demons build some inexplicable buildings in the territory?"
"Yes." Rollin nodded: "I guess they are newly summoned demons. I have also seen the portrait sent by the werewolf scouts. It should be the dwarf demons. I have seen several times in the dark world. At that time, a dwarf demon was talking about some plans with the great demon king. From the words, it can be seen that these dwarf demons are somewhat similar to goblins. They are very good at mechanical technology. It is really a headache to appear in the south."
This news was received by Rollin three days ago. Information showed that the number of demons in the Dark Legion reached nearly 300,000, but they did not attack the north, but stayed in the south and remained silent, except for building various strange buildings. They did nothing.
Through the information he obtained, Luo Lin had reason to believe that the Dark Legion must also be ready to build various dark mechanical equipment. When the other party is completed, he will use various strange black technology equipment to rush to the north. It would be a nightmare.
As for those extra dwarf demons, based on the information Rollin currently knows, he infers that these demons should have been summoned from the dark world.
The Radiant Paladin Joseph Martin once told him that the world's force is inexplicably surging, and even gods cannot break through this barrier. Not to mention opening the portal, so there is no need to worry about the increase in the number of demons. Now there are suddenly more demons, and the only explanation is the matter of the dark world. He also saw the base of the undead in the dark world, where the Lord of Death can already contact the statue, indicating that there is no Force barrier in the dark world.
There, Disentas definitely has the ability to open a new portal.
In the final analysis, this incident was caused by him accidentally, and it was his major mistake. Fortunately, he had blocked the passage, otherwise the consequences could only be described as unimaginable.
Horn, Joseph Martin, Vianna and others knew these things vaguely, but everyone chose to avoid talking because they knew that this was Rolling's fault, and at this time, this mistake was meaningless to pursue.
Just as Luo Lin once said that the commanders and generals were irreplaceable at all, so what if they were wrong?
There is no point in complaining about each other. You can only face it together.
After hearing what Rolin said, Viana realized that the problem was serious: "In this way, the situation became very bad. We can't wait for the other party to prepare. How about you tell me that we are going south to attack?"
"Strong attack?" Luo Lin shook his head without thinking: "It's useless, our strength is too weak. The Kingdom of Aolaki has been in civil strife recently and has no power to send troops at all. If he goes south rashly, it will only end up being wiped out by the entire army."
Now, there are 120,000 new recruits in the fortress, as well as an army of elf archers, a dwarf army, and then various airships and turrets. These forces should not be a big problem to defend the fortress today, but if you want to attack, you will be seeking death. But there are time limits. When the other party is ready and they do not add a brand new force, they will definitely be crushed.
"What should I do?" Viana looked sad.
If you fight, you will lose. If you don’t fight, you will lose in the end. This is simply waiting to die.
"Magic muskets and various excellent goblin equipment. This time I brought back nearly a goblin airship. As long as we can break through the problem of derivative magic, we will get a chance to win." Rollin said, showing Viana his space.
The space of the dragon clan is very different from ordinary magic packages. It can be attached to an ordinary package as an opening, or it can be opened directly by the owner without any external objects. Moreover, the space is extremely large, and it is more like a semi-plane that carries you.
On that day, Rollin cut all the key components of the entire goblin airship and put them in the space, which contained the essence of goblin mechanical technology. Viana was attracted immediately. She looked at the materials and equipment one by one, and after more than half an hour, she couldn't help but say: "I finally know why you insist on offering a reward of derivative magic. If the goblin's machinery really reaches this level and we can have it on a large scale, the combat power can be increased by at least ten times!"
Rollin nodded: "Yes. I have sent Velzac to make various instruments and even transform our existing airships. Once he creates a finished product that can be used and the derivative magic is breakthrough, we can copy and achieve large-scale equipment... What a pity, hey!"
Judging from the current situation, it can be said that the victory of this battle between light and dark depends on whether this magic problem can be solved in time.
However, there are only thousands of formal magicians on the continent, even if there are magic apprentices, there are less than 20,000. Moreover, a large number of magicians sneer at the rewards of Rollin, and they stubbornly believe that this problem cannot be solved.
To be honest, even though Luo Lin insisted, he had already admitted deep down that it is very likely that this magic problem could not be solved.
If this is true, then do some extreme responses, such as using magic forbidden spells on the battlefield and dying with the other party. This is the final solution, because any forbidden spell has extremely terrible sequelae.
For example, the Doomsday Meteorite is a magic circle of sacrifices composed of at least 500 intermediate magicians. The soul burns its soul to cast spells and summons a flame meteorite with a diameter of more than 500 meters from the sky and hits the battlefield at an unimaginable high speed. There is no doubt that this power is enough to turn the entire battlefield into ashes, but there is no doubt that the entire Starlight Continent will be poisoned by this magic.
Even the Dark Legion dared not use this terrible ultimate magic, because they wanted to conquer this continent and make various dark races the masters of this continent, rather than destroying it.
