“Da da da…”

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the corridor as the woman walked quickly through the passage paved with pure white marble. The magic crystal lamps sensed the arrival of someone and lit up one by one, illuminating the road ahead.

When she arrived at the door at the end of the corridor, the woman stopped, stretched out her hand, combed her long white hair, and took a deep breath. At the same time, the door in front of her suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the female mage in a blue robe.

"Please state your identity."

"Mary Karina."

"Received. Please come in, Miss Karina."

The elf on the gate carefully looked at the female wizard in front of him, then the gate slowly opened, and Mary walked in.

In the study behind the door, a wizard in a white robe was holding a book, flipping through it and exclaiming in amazement. He was so focused that Mary didn't even react when she walked up to him. Seeing this, Mary's eyebrows immediately raised, and then she slapped the table heavily.

"Bang!"

"Woooooa ...

The sudden sound startled the white-robed wizard. He quickly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, then let out a long breath.

"What, it's Mary, you scared me...what do you mean?"

"What...what's with your tone, mentor?"

Seeing her mentor like this, Mary was immediately furious.

"I was just wondering what you meant by this!!"

As she spoke, Mary slapped the letter in her hand.

"What is this visiting group, and why should I participate in it? What do you want to do by transferring me away from the White Tower?"

"Come, come, Mary dear...don't get excited."

Seeing that his student looked like she was about to jump up and eat someone, Douglas gave a wry smile and then stretched out his hand to motion for her to sit down.

"Look, it's not a big deal. Well... it's like this. The Holy Spirit Knight applied through the White Tower to build a mage tower in the Tiandao Palace. He needs a few mages to help him train apprentices. Look, this is a good opportunity, isn't it? As your teacher, I am very concerned about your lifelong affairs..."

“Boom!”

However, before Douglas could finish his words, Mary hit him on the bridge of his nose with a right hook, which made him groan and fall off the chair.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Why did you let me go? What are you planning?"

"Okay, okay, my student, your temper is still as bad as ever. It seems that you have been spoiled in the White Tower..."

"If you could be a little more reliable, my temper would be ten times better than it is now! Douglas!"

"Okay, okay... But this time I'm letting you go for your own good, my dear student."

Douglas wiped the blood from his nose, and his expression suddenly became serious again. Then he picked up the book in his hand and shook it at Mary.

"Do you know what this is?"

“…”

Looking at the book in Douglas' hand, Mary frowned. This book did not look like a magic book with a thick cover. Its cover was very thin and there were some strange patterns printed on it. There were also many strange square characters in the book that Mary had never seen before.

"What is this... a book from another world?"

As a wizard, Mary is no stranger to such things. The starry sky is infinite, with countless planes connecting the various worlds. Wizards often travel through the planes and bring back some strange things. In the White Tower, such wizards are even more common.

"Yes, but this is no ordinary book!"

At this point, Douglas suddenly became excited.

"This is a great book! It reveals the hidden truths and rules of this world, as well as secrets that we have never noticed! Why do ships float on the water, why do apples fall to the ground, why do sounds propagate... We all know that freezing the ground with ice magic will make it smoother, and even make an ogre dance like an idiot, but do you know the principle behind it?!"

“…No, I don’t know…”

Hearing Douglas' question, Mary was stunned for a moment, then answered in a low voice.

"But this book knows! Its authors are just mortals. They have no magic power and cannot perceive rules and truths. However, they observe and dissect the world in their own way, thus answering our questions from another perspective! Force! Everything is the result of force! Why does my hand hurt when I punch the wall? Why does Anna slap me in the face when I touch her butt? It's all because of force! This is action and reaction!"

At this point, Douglas raised his hands enthusiastically.

"We mages are omnipotent. We can move mountains and fill the sea, destroy a world, change time and space, and create everything. But... we know nothing about what truth is contained in it! Ignorance! We are so ignorant! We are obsessed with appearances, and are only complacent with what we can do, but never think about why we can do it! But this book... tells us this!"

Douglas slammed his hands on the table and raised the book in his hands again.

"This is... junior high school physics!"

"First...what?"

"Junior high school physics, my dear students."

Douglas fixed his hair and sat down again.

"They call the subject that studies this phenomenon physics, and junior high school is the title they give to researchers, which is equivalent to our apprentices... Look, this is the knowledge that apprentices learn in that world, but many of our high-level mages know nothing about it. Shame, it's so shameful!!"

"So what does this book have to do with my participation in the visiting group?"

Mary said she couldn't understand the logic at all.

"Oh, that's right, my dear Mary. In fact, this is a gift given to us by the White Tower when we received the application from the Paladin. It is a gift of knowledge from another world. You know, we mages are thirsty for knowledge. Even if it is a world where magic cannot be used and there is no magic power, the inspiration they can bring to us is unimaginably precious."

At this point, Douglas rubbed his hands, and Mary glared at him fiercely.

"So...you sold me out just for a crappy book like this?"

"Wrong, I refused!"

Douglas shook his head righteously.

"You are my most lovely student. Of course I can't bear to let you go. A mere book from another world cannot move me."

"but……?"

"but……"

As he spoke, Douglas bent down and picked up a thick pile from under the table.

"But with so many copies...it's different!"

“…”

"Look, this is junior high school chemistry, high school physics, high school mathematics... I heard that the guys in the prophecy department also got quantum mechanics... Those guys in the alchemy department even got a power-generating machine called the 'engine'... Did you know? The civilization of that world can actually drive a machine comparable to a dragon without magic! This is amazing! If we can crack the secret, then we will become the happiest wizards in the world!"

Having said this, Douglas suddenly jumped up, grabbed Mary's hand tightly, and stared at her fiercely.

"…What are you doing?"

"This is my mission for you, Mary."

Douglas's expression was more serious than ever.

"Mr. Fang Zheng's strength is beyond all of our expectations. He is obviously also a master of plane travel. As long as we maintain a good relationship with him, it will be of endless benefit to our White Tower! I have received news before that the Speaker of the Council has drawn up a list according to Mr. Fang Zheng's request. Do you know who is on the list? Among them are Jessica Robbitt of the Protection Department, Anne Carter of the Transmutation Department, Emma Delian of the Illusion Department... You should know what these names mean."

“…”

Hearing these names, Mary frowned slightly. She knew what they meant. In fact, these people were all outstanding in the White Tower of Heaven. Not only were they very powerful, but they were also very beautiful...

"You are the only one left in the Transfiguration Department. We can only rely on you now! My students and the apples of other factions have sent out their best friends to try to seduce that gentleman with their beauty... They are so despicable and shameless. We absolutely cannot let them succeed! So Mary, this mission is left to you!"

As he spoke, Douglas reached out and pressed Mary's shoulder.

"You must catch him for me!"
