In the awkward and treacherous atmosphere, the bell signaling the end of the class rang, announcing the end of the day's class. Lin looked at the small clock hidden in the corner of his vision in surprise. It took more time than expected to reanalyze the fireball. Fortunately, it was completed within the time limit of the class and didn't have to wait until tomorrow.
Lin dispelled the words in the air and sent the light of authority back into the magic stone that had turned into a white crystal. In fact, this action was very wasteful, because the authority stored in the magic stone would only be less than what was released at the beginning. Only thirty to forty percent could be recovered, and the rest would be wasted.
But it couldn't be helped. The authority had no use, and it would be a waste to let it drift away, so it was better to recover as much as possible.
After roughly tidying up, Lin Xiang was still sitting in his seat. The Mages and non-Mages who hadn't left yet displayed a URL for the forum on the water mirror screen in the lecture hall, as well as a short paragraph of unordered characters. At the same time, he said, "This URL of the forum is built under the block of Kabambai Academy, and belongs to the sub-area of the mathematics course. Those who participated in today's class can use the password at the back to obtain exclusive access to the first class. Only the people in the class can watch, and please don't spread it around. The content is the summary of today's lecture, including all the calculation processes of the improved fireball. The calculation methods used in the above will be taught in the future. But I'll only talk about the improvement of the magic model once. The purpose is to tell you that mathematics is very useful, but I won't touch on it in the future. In the future classes, I'll leave the last ten minutes to answer at least one question raised by you. If the question can be answered easily, of course, I'll answer a few more questions. That's all for today. I still have to find a way to fix the hole in the wall. Class is over. See you tomorrow, everyone. "
Although someone tried to end the day in a relaxed tone. But the students in front of him were completely unlike the universities on Earth, who ran out as soon as they heard the bell. He didn't know what their silence meant. Did the lecture just now destroy their worldview and make them doubt life? Or did they find the flaw in his words and were ready to challenge him?
"Mr. Cupwood." As the master of the academy, Archmage Kabambai opened his mouth.
Thinking that this old senior wanted to discuss the problem of fixing the wall, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Kabambai, I'll fix the hole as soon as possible, please don't worry."
"No, I'm not thinking about that. Moreover, there is no need for your excellency to worry about that kind of damage. The academy has arranged for people to be responsible for repairing it. "The old magician asked about another matter. "Have you done similar calculations and optimizations for all sixty-nine apprentice-level spells from the first circle to the third circle?"
"Hmm, no. I've only completed about ten of them that I'll be using. In order to become an official Magus, one had to learn apprentice-level magic. However, there were only a few of them that could be put to use, and only a few of them could be used as individual tactics. Besides, some third-circle spells are very complicated. It's not easy to analyze and improve them. "
"When were the ones that have been completed?"
"I completed it when I was still in the Tower of the Great Sage. After all, that was the only time he was free. After that, he had been traveling. I can't calm down to do calculations during the journey. "
"How long ago was that?"
"If you really want to calculate the time, it was almost five years ago," someone said casually.
"This …" Despite his vast experience, Great Magus Cabanbai still couldn't imagine how this man thought. "You actually wasted five years of your time on such an important research. You didn't even leak the slightest bit of information. "
"Important?" Lin suddenly chuckled. He was somewhat rude. After apologizing, he said: "Your Excellency thinks too highly of such results. In fact, it's not that great."
"How is it not great? This perfect spell model structure …"
Reaching out to stop Great Magus Cabanbai, Lin said: "The so-called perfection itself is imperfect. Don't you agree, Your Excellency? "
"The perfection itself is imperfect …" Repeating such a simple sentence, Cabanbai seemed to have grasped some unclear truth. "What makes her imperfect?"
"Magic doesn't exist independently. If that's the case, you should understand. " Lin went one step further and said: "Authority that exists everywhere in the world isn't in a state of static balance. Under different circumstances, the amount of each Authority would be higher and lower. No matter how perfect a spell model is, it can't avoid being affected by the environment. "
Indeed, with the addition of environmental factors, the complexity wouldn't just increase exponentially, but would increase by hundreds or even thousands of times. Thus, he sought an answer. Should he change the environment and start over?
Lin continued: "Besides, this is only Apprentice rank magic. Isn't it a bit excessive to ask an Apprentice to have such control and construct a perfect spell model? Speaking of which, I was only able to comprehend this after being lectured by my Apprentice. For them, knowing how to use it is more important than knowing how to perfect it. As for when we actually use it, if we're in an urgent situation, we're not allowed to carve a spell model in detail. In other words, it's only a product that can be used to scare people during teaching or research. This is also the reason why I didn't continue to calculate all the incomplete 1st to 3rd Circle Apprentice rank magic. "
The problem on a practical level left Great Magus Cabanbai speechless. He struggled to say: "Even if that's the case, sir, you can still hand over the results of your research to the Association and let the people who use and learn it judge for themselves."
"That's exactly right. That's something that can't be done," Lin said firmly.
"Why?!" The Great Magus's face flushed red, and he said with a rare agitation.
Lin was startled by this. He was afraid that the old man would have a heart attack and leave just like that. He hurriedly comforted him and explained: "Sir, calm down and listen to my explanation." As he spoke, his left hand and right hand each displayed the spell model of the Fireball spell. Lin asked: "Sir, can you tell the difference between these two spell models?"
After calming down, Cabanbai narrowed his eyes and observed for a while. After comparing it with his memory from the class just now, he said: "The left hand is the original spell model that you constructed according to the teaching materials issued by the Association. The right hand is the improved version. Although the difference is very small, I can still tell. "
"Oh, as expected of a Great Magus, your eyes are sharp. Just as you said, the left hand is the original, and the right hand is the improved version. Then, here's the problem. If I want to submit the improved version of the third-circle apprentice-level Fireball spell to the Association, what should I do? If the examiners ask me what's the difference between the two spell models, how should I answer? "
"Of course …" Cabanbai was suddenly at a loss for words.
The white-haired Great Magus was not the only one. All the other Magi who were listening to the lecture did not leave. They all had different thoughts, but Cabanbai's questions and thoughts were indeed the same as their own. Some people even wanted to seize the right of such knowledge. As long as they submitted it to the Association first, no one would be able to change the fact with their own network, and this honor would belong to them.
But … how could they explain the difference between the improved version and the original version to the people of the Association?
Lin said: "That's it. How could I explain to the magic examiners who don't understand mathematics that every angle and every distance of the improved version of the spell model was carefully calculated to achieve the most perfect balance? And most importantly, can they or other people reproduce the same result? If the learner doesn't know how to calculate, and even the teacher doesn't know how to calculate, can they tell the difference between the two models? "
The truth turned out to be so simple. Many old pedantic Magi only felt a tightness in their chest and wanted to vomit blood. It's not that I don't want to teach, it's that you don't understand.
Someone continued: "By the same logic, why did I teach the knowledge of Language P when I was in the Southwest Peninsula, but not after I came to the Holy City? I didn't even choose to teach the things that many people want to learn from me, including the improvement of the Magic Tower, the use of magic arrays, magic runes, or the construction of airships like the Sid. If they don't understand mathematics, what do I have to talk about and teach them? "
In the crowd listening to the lecture, someone said unwillingly, "Isn't there a simpler way?"
Lin knew who the speaker was, but he did not know the name. It was a Magician who was much younger than the old man present. Although from the appearance, the Magician was still older than him. Hearing this helpless moan, Lin was so angry that he laughed and said:
"If you don't want to learn mathematics, you just want to use the knowledge that can be put to practical use. That's simple. The Tower of the Great Sage stands over there. I heard that everything about the tower has been made public again. I don't object to this. Therefore, if you have any needs for the Magic Tower, please copy it. It will certainly have the same effect. If it doesn't meet the standards, I can only say that I didn't copy it carefully enough. You can't blame me for that. … "
As if angered, a certain someone continued: "… I'm sorry about the Sid airship, but it's a trade secret. I don't want to make it public so soon. After all, the Magic Tower is a weapon to protect the civilization. The more strength it has, the more protection it has for the civilization. But if an airship design that is too good is widely spread, it will only become an advantageous weapon in war, and the gap between the strong and the weak will be even more obvious. My nose and eyes are small, the peace of the Lost Land has nothing to do with me. It's not that I don't want to hand over the knowledge, but how much is the person who wants it willing to pay in exchange? … "
Glancing around, some people were tempted, while others pondered. It looked like they were about to make an offer. Lin sneered.
"… I think that a Magic Tower in exchange for the full design of the Sid is a very reasonable trade condition. Beyond that, I won't consider it. As for Blink, that is, the magic that appears and disappears unpredictably, it is the result of my research with the World Tree Waldwa. I can't release that knowledge to the world without the consent of that person. As long as someone obtains the consent of that person, I will immediately hand over the full set of knowledge without holding anything back. Or does someone think that they can capture me and directly seize the knowledge in my head? "
"Yeah, why don't you give it a try?" A provocative voice came from the crowd. At the same time, there were fluctuations of authority that directly touched the sensitive nerves of all Magicians. Almost in an instant, the lecture hall lit up, and all the Magicians activated their respective magic defenses!
