The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 212 The darkest moment in the history of magic

In order to show their sincerity, Ickert and Benson each took a step back. The latter asked the apprentice to wait outside the castle, and Ickert and the archmage also moved to the official office.

However, on the way, Benson passed the "artillery" under the leadership of Ickert. Seeing this big guy who was far more powerful than the rifle in the hands of the Ratmen, Benson couldn't help asking:
"Mr. Ickert, what is this?"

"This, this is an art decoration, a decoration I put in the castle."

Ickert said vaguely that he didn't want to disclose any information to the old man without establishing a mutual trust relationship.

"It turned out to be just a decoration."

Benson's heart churns for a while, saying that it is fine that the big iron pipe is an ornament, but is the soldier standing next to him also an ornament?
Could it be that you, like a certain emperor who loves uniqueness, like one-to-one soldier figures?
Looking at the thick black hole of the Sasamaria cannon, Benson couldn't help but swallowed. No matter whether stones or something would be shot out of it, he, a high-level mage, might not be able to react in time.

Master Benson is very fortunate, but fortunately, he has no plans to discuss the Dao with arms, otherwise the two sides will really fight, and it is not certain whether they will win or lose.

The two finally arrived at the office in silence, and the next topic will be very heavy.

"Master Benson, could you please explain the theory of the Astrology School again?"

Ickert asked, if you want to completely resolve the crisis between the two factions, you still have to start from the root cause.

"Of course, Master Ikert.

Presumably you also know that our astrological theory is based on the force and its magical properties. In the astrological interpretation, the connection between all things is determined by magic.

The forces and influences on an object, as well as the physical laws it exhibits, are governed by certain laws.

There are two theories to explain this form of law.

One is the theory of natural law that treats the world indiscriminately, and the second is the theory of rules of magic gods.

Since you have studied in the imperial capital, you should also know about them. "

"I understand what you mean, but I believe that with my experiment before, the first theory has been overturned, and it is difficult for a natural formation to form a complex structure.

You also admit that since all things are connected by magic power, all things also express the nature of affinity with magic power, and it is impossible for the natural magic circle to treat them equally. "

Eckert responded that the astrological argument was untenable on the first theory alone.

Benson is also very clear about this.

"Actually, the theory of natural magic circle is not very popular among us, but if you put it another way, for example, the theory of natural enchantment, this is easy to achieve, it is a natural precondition for casting spells,

As for the complex logic displayed by the laws of all things, it is naturally decided by Gaia, the only magic god, and she is the core explanation of the magic circle. "

Benson quietly threw out the important theory of astrology, which reminded Ickert of a theory called "holographic cosmology". What Benson is talking about now is such a theory of holographic magic shadow.

"You have to admit that our magic, and the Gaia runes we use, they are not a clear rule, especially including the translation of the runes, you will inevitably see emotional shadow,

There is also the transformation process of magical power into darkness. This uncontrollable change may make the rules not absolute, but it also proves that there is a higher existence, and she is controlling everything in the world with her will.

These are facts, including everything you have learned until now, how do you explain this fact? "

After Benson finished speaking, he pushed the pressure of speaking to Ickert.

This is the law of magic that runs in this world. All spells and all magic power are like this. It is the cruelest fact and it is almost irrefutable.

Benson expects that Ickert will be defeated by this theory, but in his heart he is extremely eager for him to come up with a truly convincing theory to defeat himself.

In fact, there is still a trace of fear buried in the heart, which is the most disastrous horror for all magicians who pursue the truth, and has been avoided by people all the time.

That's why benson and other astrology tower scholars are getting weaker and weaker, they see a problem, but they don't know how to do it
Benson kept his complicated eyes on Ickert in front of him, and after a while, he received a response from Ickert.

When the terrifying words flooded into his mind, Benson laughed a little crazy!

"You found out too! Haha! You found out too!
Since you choose to speak out!Then it means you have to admit the real humbleness of magic!
If you don't have a reasonable enough framework, you will fall into the fear of the endless unknown just like that old Verusen! "

For a long time, people who became magicians had more or less spiritual beliefs.

That is "magic is omnipotent, the world is formed on the basis of magic, and rules revolve around magic."

But if one day, someone jumps out and says "No! Magic is based on the rules of physics!", then most mages with firm beliefs will jump out and critically attack this unlucky guy head-on.

This is the same dogma that physicists believe in. If one day you tell them that "there is no physics at all, it is all arranged by gods, and gods cannot explain it." Then physicists do not recommend using their " "Holy Sword" will open your mind.

But the desperate reality is that magic seems to be based on the rules of physics.

The magicians who are completely blank in this field keep it secret, the more advanced the magician is, the more so.

And when sages try to explain everything with magic, they always encounter problems of one kind or another.

The best way, of course, is to leave everything to the goddess of magic.

What kind of goddess is this!This is clearly the goddess who took the blame!

Even if there is a 50.00% probability of God’s existence, one must try his best to study the world to prove that the operation of all things does not require that kind of unlucky back-up. This is the spirit of science!

Instead of the current twisted struggle between science and theology!
How is this different from believing that you are a "brain in a vat"?
Eckert's answer to the existence of magical gods is:

"No!"

"We just need to prove that the world does not need the support of magic power, and it can still operate stably and according to the law!"

"You said it! You said it!

Outrageous!This is the darkest moment in the history of traditional magic!
But if you can support this structure, then today will also be the most glorious moment in the history of magic in the new era! "

Benson couldn't help being short of breath. If it succeeds, if it really succeeds, then the Astrology Tower will be on the carriage of new era magic and new era production methods in one fell swoop!

"The progress of magic lies in negation and innovation." The words of the first generation of sages echoed in Benson's mind again. At this time, Ickert in front of him seemed to have the appearance of a sage.
