Chapter 1081 Stargazing Mage
Ronald chatted with this mage who happened to meet him for a long time.
According to this spellcaster named Heken, he is actually the last stargazing mage left in [Larchmont].
Although most of his former companions have resigned from their posts and left the city, Heken believes that the responsibilities of the Stargazing Mage are not limited to spell research.
Human observation and recording of the starry sky.
It is also a very important part of the things that make up civilization.
As an island isolated in the ocean, [Larchmont] has very convenient and excellent conditions for observing and studying astronomical phenomena under specific weather conditions.
Horken did not want these records to be abandoned as the city collapsed.
So he chose to stay here to continue his work and keep the other scroll information properly, hoping that in this way, he could preserve the knowledge accumulated over countless years.
As the conversation continued, Ronald truly admired the work of these mages from the bottom of his heart.
In the dark ages of the past, among the original holders with powerful spells, there were also people who were full of exploration. Some of them tried to get rid of the shackles of the earth and explore among the bright stars in the sky.
It's a pity that the result is not very optimistic.
Just like what Ronald had heard, even if these magicians successfully escaped from the ground, when they came to the cosmic environment, the distance at the astronomical unit level and the extremely harsh living environment forced them to stop there. .
In the end, the actual exploration of the stars can only become a dream that is out of reach for them.
However, under such circumstances, many people began to devote themselves to theoretical research.
With the help of some of the original information that had been successfully deciphered, the stargazers began to gain a grand understanding of the universe. This work was forced to stop until the war came.
...
Time flies at night.
Ronald stood on the observation deck until a gust of sea breeze reminded him that it was late, and he suddenly realized that he had disturbed the other party for a long time.
This stargazing mage was originally working.
Ronald decided to leave in his heart, but before leaving, he asked one last question out of curiosity:
"By the way, do you know the original text of the Almagest?"
"Almagest?" The stargazer obviously didn't expect that. Hearing this word from Ronald, he frowned slightly, and then his tone became different from before, "I do know this original book. It should be the enemy who opposed us in the war that year. There, a powerful holder of the original code used its spell."
"Ronald, have you met people from this school again elsewhere?"
Ronald nodded first, then shook his head, Immediately afterwards, he quickly pulled out the original text of "Almagest" from his hand:
"It's like this - I once encountered an enemy and defeated him, and this original text also came from the opponent's hands." "
Although it is still in the hands of the opponent." I haven't fully mastered the spells, but judging from the specific performance of some spells, it should have a strong relationship with elements such as stars." "..." The moment
Ronald
took out the original book, the stargazing mage He was already frozen in place.
He looked steadily at the "Almagest" in Ronald's hand, his expression a little disbelieving, but then gradually turned into relief and a smile with mixed emotions.
"It turns out that this guy didn't die in that war..."
After sighing in a low voice, Heken raised his head and looked at Ronald:
"Mr. Ronald, you have accomplished an incredible feat."
" The holder of this original book was a very difficult person to deal with in that war. It was only towards the end of the war that this guy disappeared from the main battlefield together with his original book. And we always thought that he was there He died at that time, or was simply sealed in prison."
"Unexpectedly, this guy fell into your hands!"
He Ken had obviously been misunderstanding the real situation. He even thought it was Ronald who killed him personally. An original code holder of this era was beheaded, and then he obtained the Almagest.
And such misunderstanding.
Ronald didn't intend to explain his origins to the other party, so he passed by with a careless eye:
"The spells provided by this original book are indeed powerful, but the required casting materials are severely limited. I can defeat him." It can only be said to be a fluke."
"You are too humble!" He Ken naturally did not believe Ronald's statement at all. Instead, the stargazer said more seriously, "During the original war, we Many of his companions have been defeated by that terrible enemy. This is definitely not an enemy that can win by luck!" "..." He
Ken
in front of him spoke like this, and of course Ronald could not continue to be humble.
He thought for a while and decided to change the topic:
"By the way, Mr. Heken, seeing that you are so familiar with this original text, could it be said that you have also seen its power with your own eyes?"
Stargazing Mage nodded, with a look on his face. Revealing some memories:
"Yes, I did join the battlefield at that time. And the previous holder of this original book... whether it was the terrifying manipulation ability that affected the entire battlefield, or the complete ability to control people's hearts. Technique. The power of this original book really left a deep impression on me at the beginning." The
complete technique of controlling people's hearts...
Ronald's expression was stunned when he heard the Star Gazer Mage's story.
He had previously used the Almagest of Astronomy to fight against enemies, and could feel that most of its abilities were actually spells based on astronomical knowledge. As a result, in the end, the complete art of this original book actually left the essence of the stars, and instead turned to control people's hearts?
But soon, Ronald realized the reason.
Because if you think about it carefully, this result is reasonable.
Just like the complete art of "The Divine Comedy" [The End of Human Reason] is a spell guided by the core concept of its creation, the
essence of "Almagest", a book built around celestial knowledge, is to maintain geocentrism. The original text of this erroneous doctrine. A perfect art was born from this idea, and there is nothing wrong with having the ability to limit people's thoughts.
...
In this way, the fruitful conversation between Ronald and the Stargazer came to an end.
El, who happened to be tinkering with the telescope nearby, was a little tired of it at the moment.
So this guy took the initiative to grab Ronald's sleeves, and then pouted in the direction of the castle:
"Boss, let's keep going in."
"Didn't we agree before that we should go in to see more interesting things? ?"
Seeing El's actions, the Stargazing Mage smiled, and picked up the pen and paper he put aside to continue recording his work.
"In that case, you should hurry up and set off."
"It's time for me to continue working..."
