Hillman answered casually when asked.
"Ah, it seems that's true."
When she recalled the creation of the golems and gargoyles, Ouyang Qianjin slowly nodded.
At that time, Xia Jiba was just trying to show off his superiority.
"Does this nonsense actually work?"
Thinking of this, Ouyang Qianjin asked in confusion.
"I'm telling you, language is a very important magical material. Spells and chants are just means of imbuing those things with one's own consciousness and magic."
"Think about it carefully. Is there something called 'Word Magic' in the dark magic of your mind?"
"Although you didn't learn this kind of thing at the time, magic is magic. It exists and is reasonable. When you chant those spells, you have actually unconsciously activated 'word magic'."
"Of course, to some extent, some abilities of the [Skeleton Throne] in the Skeleton system can also be considered a variant of [Word Magic]. I believe you yourself should be most aware of this."
Hillman explained to Miss Ouyang what was wrong.
After hearing about the "Word Magic" and the "Skeleton Throne," Ouyang Qianjin searched her mind for information.
There really is such a thing!
As for the [Throne of Bones]...
The passive ability does indeed have a similar effect to 'standing up,' enabling even incomplete summoned creatures to execute commands with 100% accuracy.
It wouldn't be wrong to call it a variant of word magic.
But now the mystery has been solved.
He realized that although he had said the incantation to show off, it actually had the effect of a magical power to some extent.
Let me think...
What incantation was being recited at that time?
Oh, that's what Xia Ji Ba said. Never mind, I won't think about it anymore.
Anyway, what I came up with will definitely be different from what I said before, but this word magic can be used in conjunction with incantations to increase its power, so it seems to be an excellent skill that can be used.
Hmm, it seems like I could even write a tutorial on spells...
Lost in thought, Ouyang Qianjin soon arrived at that room with Hillman.
This room is not big.
Or rather, it's not very big.
Several machines were in operation in the room.
These machines swing up and down like blowers, constantly drawing in air and then compressing it.
In the very center and most prominent position is a transparent device that looks like a shop window.
Looking through the transparent glass on the outside, you can easily see several tubes with nozzles.
The nozzles of these tubes are all aimed at the ceramic plate in the middle, which looks like a dinner plate.
It appears to be spraying some kind of gas.
In the center of the ceramic plate, Hillman saw a sapphire about the size of a thumbnail.
"This is……?"
"The Ninth Entity".
"The Ninth Entity!?"
"Well... to be precise, it's a gem containing the 'Ninth Entity'."
Ouyang Qianjin carefully considered her choice of words.
"Explain."
Hillman had only heard of the Ninth Entity but never seen it, and now that he saw this gem, he was completely baffled.
What exactly is this so-called 'ninth entity'?
“I have been studying this ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ ever since I started studying magic.”
"The more I researched it, the more I realized that the 'Philosopher's Stone' is very deceptive."
"No, it should be said that the name of this 'ninth entity' is deceptive."
"Simply put, the so-called 'ninth entity' does not actually have a physical form, but exists in any corner of the world."
"I used to think about how to change this world if monsters, magical beasts, or even continents from other worlds came to this world."
"Then I discovered the magic that exists in the air."
"These magical powers exist in the air. When they approach a flame, they become magical powers with fire attributes, and when they are near a lake, the magical powers in the air become magical powers with water attributes."
"In other words, 'nothingness' means that magic itself does not have any attributes; it is only the surrounding natural environment that gives them such 'attributes'."
"Does that mean that if we concentrate the magic in the air and then strip away its attributes, we can obtain magic with 'no' attributes?"
"After numerous experiments, I found that this approach works."
"However, as we discovered before, magic is 'nothing' so it doesn't take on a physical form. In other words, if we want to use this magic in the end, we still need to give this 'attributeless' magic a physical form."
"After many experiments, I finally found the most suitable material."
"That's the kind of gem I call 'splitter'."
"This gem is more of a stone than a gem, but it has been gradually polished into the shape of a gem after being imbued with attribute-less magic."
At this point, the young lady from Ouyang, who had been speaking at length, took out a fist-sized stone from under the 'counter' and showed it to Hillman.
This stone looks very rough.
It even feels like it's cutting your hand when you hold it.
"You might not believe it, but the stones we put in before were about this size, but now they've grown to the size of a fingernail."
Is it because of the concentration?
Hillman asked curiously.
After all, it involves academic issues, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't interested.
"Who knows? I once watched over this place for a whole day and night, but I didn't find anything unusual. Later, I lost interest and had someone continue to observe, but they still didn't find anything unusual."
"However, one day, because no one was watching over it, when they came back the next day, half of them were suddenly gone."
"It's like waiting for something to change when nobody is 'observing' it."
"In the end, I simply stopped having anyone guard it and let it change on its own."
"As a result, after half a year, it has transformed from a stone into its current gem-like form, but I myself do not know exactly how many 'ninth entities' are inside now."
Ouyang Qianjin shrugged.
In her view, the space inside this 'counter' is now like 'Schrödinger's cat'.
'Observation' and 'non-observation' are two completely different things.
That's very strange.
But considering that this kind of thing is already associated with 'magic,' it seems a bit unfair to those physicists to explain it using physics.
"That is indeed an interesting phenomenon; I have never encountered anything like it before."
After listening to Ouyang Qianjin's explanation, Hilton curiously leaned closer to the 'counter'.
The flickering soul flame kept its eyes fixed on the 'gem' inside.
