Chapter 21 Forerunner

"Magic circle?"

"Yes, that is a special kind of magic. It uses the magic wand to drive the magic power in the air to draw a special pattern on the surface of the envelope. This pattern can make the magic power mobilized by the caster stay on the letter for a long time."

"Magic in the air?" Bruno keenly grasped the word in Arnel's words and said, "Isn't magic something that mages possess themselves?"

"Of course not!" Arnel said as a matter of course.

"My teacher, Glenn Galvin, once said to me that magic power is a blessing bestowed upon the world by the elemental gods. It is the remaining breath of the Creator when he created the world! How could it be directly bestowed upon humans?"

Bruno seemed to understand something suddenly, and made a bold guess: "So, what you call casting spells is actually the process of driving the magic power in the air to move? And different types of spells are actually the process of driving different types of magic power to move in different ways!"

"Although... your statement is a little unusual, but... that's roughly what you mean." Arnel murmured.

Oh shit!

Bruno suddenly had the urge to swear.

There are also different types of magic... Isn't this just the otherworldly version of the periodic table 2.0? What happened to the promise of not talking about science?

Because if what Anel said is correct, then the magic that people in this world talk about should be a special single substance composed of many different magic elements floating in the air.

And releasing different magic will call upon different magical elements in the air... What else could this be but an adapted version of the periodic table? However... What puzzled Bruno the most now was that if his previous conjectures were all correct, then how could the spells chanted by the wizard drive these magical elements in the air?

Is it because he sings so well? This is obviously impossible, otherwise...why is there a difference between mages and ordinary people?

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

"The differences..." Anel previously thought that mages were different from ordinary people, but when he suddenly encountered this question, he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

He originally wanted to say it was a difference in mental strength, but... even among ordinary people there are people with extraordinary mental strength.

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

"Perception?" Bruno said. "Be more specific."

"The world that mages see is different from that of ordinary people." Anel paused, organized his words, and continued, "We can keenly perceive the magic contained in the air. It is everywhere and pervasive. Moreover, when casting spells, we can feel the magic we need gathering in the air. In short, it is a kind of... a very wonderful feeling, as if we have merged with the world..."

Integration? Bruno suddenly had a bold idea...

"Can you draw the magic mark on that envelope? No magic is needed, just draw it on parchment with a pen."

"Sure, it's not a secret." Arnel agreed happily.

I saw Anel writing on the parchment, drawing many intricate but regular lines on the parchment, outlining a pattern that looked quite familiar.

"I've been using a staff to draw before, but I'm not very familiar with using a pen..." Arnel scratched his head and said.

However……

When Bruno looked at the pattern with wide eyes,

I suddenly felt unwell...

Bruno pointed to a line on the pattern and said, "This part of the pattern should be exactly where the letter is sealed..."

"That's right, wait...you're not a mage, how do you know?" Anel asked in surprise.

Bruno did not answer. He just felt that the style of painting in this world was becoming more and more familiar and scientific, because... although the pattern drawn by Arnel had complex stripes and intricate lines, its overall shape and structure looked very much like... an electrical circuit map!

The place Bruno pointed to earlier was exactly a switch on this "circuit diagram".

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

The "burned" "circuit" will definitely leave a mark on the envelope, allowing the recipient to 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 in this world... seemed a little bit strange...

"Arnel, do you think... levitation can also be applied to building materials through such a... magic circle?"

Before Arnel could answer, Bruno continued, "It is definitely possible! Since the magic mark can be preserved, then the levitation spell can also be preserved. Perhaps other magic arrays are needed, or perhaps other methods are needed. In short, this assumption is definitely feasible!"

"When 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 but, after all... practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Okay, I'll try." Arnel had no choice but to nod.

Although it felt a bit far-fetched, he vaguely felt that what he was about to do now might have an unignorable impact on his future and would push him in an unknown direction.

But... I don't know whether this change is good or bad...

No matter! With such an opportunity in front of him, Arnel would never let it slip away. He was never a guy who was content with the status quo, otherwise he would not have left his family and gone far away...

What if... it's really possible? After Arnel left, Bruno took out a brand new piece of parchment from the drawer of the desk and spread it flat on the table.

Outside the window, it was already dark.

The fire in the fireplace was burning, releasing light and heat.

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

Bruno picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and then, under the candlelight, began to write neat Chinese characters on the parchment.

November 13, cloudy -

The magic in this world is far from as magical as I had imagined before. The magic power that people talk about is probably just the elemental substance contained in the air. The structure of the magic circle drawn by Arnel is very similar to the circuit diagram. Does this mean that the magic power element can be transmitted by some "conductors" in this world like electric current?

If the above conclusions are true, then the following hypothesis is put forward: the wizard's perception of magic and affinity for magical elements may be due to his special physique, and the spell itself does not have the effect of releasing magic. The release of spells is due to the different frequencies of sound waves generated by chanting different spells, which will cause certain magic elements or magic molecules in the air to vibrate, thereby producing a kind of "magic flow".

The wizard himself can act as a "conductor" and the staff as a "capacitor", thereby converging this "magic flow" onto the staff to complete the casting process.

The last few chapters were difficult to write. Although some of the author's explanations may not be very reasonable, he is also trying his best to plan a relatively logical worldview. However, after all, the knowledge reserve is relatively limited, so there may be some omissions. You can raise any ideas you have. Although the pace of these chapters is a bit slow, but... please vote! [猛男落眼泪.jpg]
