May the crows bring you blessings.
After Zheng Li finished speaking, he raised his staff again and gently waved it towards the sky. The crows took off and left along the route they had come from.
Everyone here, from this year's Nobel laureates to the judges and audience, is still trying to process what's happening.
Only the lingering coldness in their hands told them that this was not a dream, but reality.
When Zheng Li left the podium, the audience below finally realized what was happening and burst into applause that was much more enthusiastic than when Zheng Li had finished his acceptance speech.
It looked like it was going to rip the roof off the Stockholm Concert Hall.
It's important to know that concert halls have excellent sound reception and soundproofing.
Even so, the security personnel outside could still clearly hear the applause from inside.
"Did you arrange this part?" King Gustav of Sweden asked, turning to the side.
Standing next to him is Thomas Perlman, the Secretary General of the Nobel Committee.
Each sub-award has a secretary general for that field, with Perlman serving as the general secretary general.
Today I'm specifically in charge of presenting the awards.
Perlman replied in a similar voice, "I have communicated with the European Academy of Sciences."
They asked if it was possible to create some magical elements.
Because Dr. White is the only award-winning mage since Grand Master Merlin.
My thought at the time was whether I could replicate Merlin's feat to some extent.
"I just never expected that Mage White's magic would be so, so ingenious."
In recent years, the Nobel Prize's substantive international standing has declined, and its sanctity and authority are not what they used to be.
Therefore, Perlman and the Nobel Committee behind him hoped to use some special methods to divert the attention of the general public from the award itself.
Sometimes, the way to cover up a hot topic is to uncover an even bigger hot topic.
Public opinion is an art; some people can achieve their goals subtly and effectively through public discourse.
However, some people's methods of manipulating public opinion are too obvious, which may backfire.
Because Sweden is also an important member of the European Union, and in recent years it has abandoned its status as a permanently neutral country.
After losing face as a neutral country, Sweden's importance to the European Union has increased even further.
Therefore, the European Academy of Sciences is willing to meet the demands made by Sweden.
They just didn't expect Zheng Li to make such a big fuss.
It's like saying it was just a drill, but you turned it into a real fight.
"Dr. White is truly extraordinary."
"However, Dr. White is still not as good as Merlin."
The raven's blessing wasn't as effective as Merlin's.
My body only felt slightly relieved.
After Merlin's blessing magic ended last time...
Before Gustav could finish speaking, Perlman made a shushing gesture with his finger and then pointed at Zheng Li.
The underlying meaning is that the other party is right in front of you, so even if you think Dr. White's magic is inferior to Zheng Li's, don't say it in front of others.
Such so-called "nobles" whose status comes from bloodline inheritance cannot conceal their self-centeredness through outward etiquette.
However, after Perlman's reminder, Gustav quickly realized his mistake and quieted down.
Zheng Li, who was not far in front of them, suddenly turned around, looked at the two of them, and smiled.
"Damn it, I've gotten myself into trouble again." Perlman sensed something was wrong.
Gustav also felt a pang of regret.
Gustavus Adolphus served as King of Sweden for over fifty years.
For example, in the early days of his reign as King of Sweden, Gustav frequently held orgies at a nightclub in Stockholm owned by the former mafia gangster Millemarkovich.
Gustav would also require his secret police to ensure that he did not leave any evidence of his involvement.
Over the past fifty years, Gustav has been the subject of many related rumors.
Gustav also realized that something was wrong.
Only then did he recall the information he had previously read about mages:
"The mages possess perceptual abilities that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people..."
Gustav instinctively tried to return a friendly smile, but Zheng Li had already turned away.
Gustav was left behind, filled with inner turmoil and uncertainty.
However, Zheng Li wouldn't do anything to Gustav; it wouldn't even qualify as a verbal offense.
As a lawful mage, he will not punish someone for verbal inappropriateness.
Just like Merlin's appearance last time, the number of viewers for the Nobel Prize award ceremony began to surge when Zheng Li was performing magic.
The number of viewers peaked after Zheng Li summoned a large number of crows.
In particular, the crows, following his instructions, stood quietly and gently pecked at each guest's hand.
"That's insane!"
"Ohhhhhhh!"
"This year's Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to a magician!"
"I'm so envious! Why didn't I have this segment at the last Nobel Prize award ceremony I attended? This is discrimination!"
"So Alan White is a mage? Is his profound understanding of souls also because he's a mage?"
"It seems there really is some special relationship between the soul and magic."
Viewers from all over the world are discussing this on YouTube.
The news quickly reached the Vatican, about two thousand kilometers away from Sweden.
Does Alan White have a religion?
