"Da, da, da …"
Crisp footsteps echoed in the corridor. The woman walked briskly through the pure white marble path. The magic crystal lamps sensed her arrival and lit up one by one, illuminating the path ahead.
When she arrived at the door at the end of the corridor, she came to a halt. She combed her long, white hair and took in a deep breath. At the same time, the eyes of the door opened abruptly and gazed at the sorceress in a blue robe.
"Please state your identity."
"Mary Karina."
"Got it. Please come in, Miss Karina."
The elf on the door sized up the sorceress carefully. Then, the door opened slowly and Mary walked in.
In the study behind the door, a wizard in a white robe was flipping through a book in his hand and clicking his tongue in wonder. He was so focused that he didn't react when Mary walked up to him. Looking at this scene, Mary frowned and slapped the table heavily.
"Bam!"
"Woah!"
The sudden noise startled the white-robed wizard. He hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and let out a long sigh.
"What? It's Mary. You scared me … What do you mean by that?"
"What … What's with that tone of voice? Teacher! "
Looking at her teacher's reaction, Mary was furious.
"That's what I wanted to ask you. What do you mean by that?!"
While yelling, Mary slapped the letter in her hand.
"What's this visiting group? Why do I have to join it? Why did you transfer me out of the White Tower? "
"Alright, alright, my dear Mary … Don't get too worked up."
Douglas let out a bitter laugh and gestured for his student to sit down.
"You see, it's actually not a big deal. Hmm … It's like this. The Saint Knight sent an application through the White Tower to build a wizard tower in the Tendo Temple. He needs a few sorcerers to help him train apprentices. You see, this is a good opportunity, isn't it? As your teacher, I'm very concerned about your marriage …. "
Boom!
However, before Douglas could finish his words, Mary directly hit him in the nose with a right hook. This made him groan and directly fall off the chair.
"You don't need to worry about me. By the way, why did you ask me to go? What are you planning? "
"Alright, alright, my student, your temper is still as bad as ever. It seems like the White Tower has really spoiled you...."
"If you were a little more reliable, my temper would be ten times better than it is now! Douglas! "
"Fine, fine … 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 became serious again. Then he picked up the book in his hand and shook it in front of Mary.
"Do you know what this is?"
"....."
Looking at the book in Douglas's 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 on the book that Mary had never seen before.
"What is this.... A book from another world?"
As a mage, Mary was no stranger to such things. The astral world was infinite, and there were countless planes that connected to various worlds. There were often mages who travelled between planes and brought back some strange things. Such mages were not uncommon in the White Tower.
"That's right, but this is not an ordinary book!"
At this point, Douglas suddenly became excited.
"This is a great book! It reveals the hidden truths and rules of this world, and the secrets that we have never noticed! Why does a ship float on the water, why does an apple fall to the ground, why does sound travel.... We all know that freezing the ground 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's question, Mary was taken aback for a moment, then she replied in a low voice.
"But this book knows! The authors are only mortals. They don't have magic, they can't perceive the rules and truth, but they use their own way to observe and dissect the world, thus answering our questions from another angle! Force! Everything is a function of force! Why does my hand hurt when I hit the wall with my fist? Why does Anna slap me when I touch her butt? That's all force! That's the power of action and reaction! "
Having said that, Douglas raised his hands enthusiastically.
"We mages are omnipotent. We can move mountains and fill seas, we can destroy a world, we can distort time and space, we can create everything. But.... we have no idea what kind of truth is contained in this! Ignorance! We are too ignorant! We are obsessed with appearances, only satisfied with what we can do, but never thinking 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 hand again.
"This book.... Junior High School Physics!"
"Junior high school.... what?"
"Junior high school Physics, my dear student."
Douglas tidied his hair and sat down again.
"They call the study of this phenomenon physics, and junior high school is their title for researchers, equivalent to our apprentices.... Look, this is the knowledge for apprentices in that world, but many of us high-order mages don't know anything about it. Shameful, this is too shameful!!"
"What does this book have to do with me joining the delegation?"
Mary couldn't understand the logic behind it at all.
"Oh, it's like this, my dear Mary. In fact, this is a gift from the Paladin when we received the request from the White Tower. A gift of knowledge from another world. You know, we mages have a thirst for knowledge. Even in a world without magic or magic, the inspiration they can bring us is unimaginably precious. "
Douglas rubbed his hands while Mary glared at him fiercely.
"So.... you sold me for this stupid book?"
"Wrong, I rejected it!"
Douglas shook his head in a righteous manner.
"You're my most adorable student. Of course I can't bear to let you go. A mere book from another world isn't enough to move me."
"But....?"
"But...."
As he spoke, Douglas bent down and picked up a thick pile of books from under the table.
"But with so many books.... it's different!"
"...."
"Look, this is junior high school Chemistry, senior high school Physics, senior high school Mathematics.... I heard that the guys from the Divination Department also got quantum mechanics.... The guys from the Alchemy Department even got a machine that generates power called an 'engine'.... Did you know? The civilization of that world can actually drive a machine comparable to a dragon without using magic! That's amazing! If we can decipher the secret, we'll become the happiest mages in the world! "
Douglas suddenly jumped up and grabbed Mary's hand tightly, glaring at her fiercely.
".... What are you doing?"
"This is my mission for you, Mary."
Douglas's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
"His Excellency Fangzheng's strength has exceeded all of our expectations. He's obviously a master of interplanar travel. As long as we maintain a good relationship with him, the White Tower will reap endless benefits! I've received news that the Chairman has drawn up a list of names according to His Excellency Fangzheng's request. Do you know who's on the list? Jessica Robbie from the Defense Department is one of them. Anne Coulter from the Evocation Department, Emma Delian from the Illusion Department.... You should know what these names mean, right? "
"...."
Mary frowned slightly when she heard these names. Of course she knew what they meant. In fact, these were the cream of the crop in the White Tower of Heaven. Not only were they outstanding in strength, they were also very beautiful ….
"You're the only one left in the Transmutation Department. We can only rely on you now! My student, the other factions have sent out their pearls in an attempt to use their beauty to attract His Excellency.... They're despicable and shameless. We can't let them succeed! So, Mary, I'll leave this mission to you! "
As he spoke, Douglas stretched out his hand and held Mary's shoulder.
"You must catch him for me!"
