"Ionic cloud drift phenomenon? Your theory is quite novel, but is there any meaning to it? Or, to put it another way, how do you intend to prove it? "
"It's a practical application of the Elemental Tide's periodic migration theory. It proves that as the gathering place of the Elemental Tide, the Elemental Planes' coordinates aren't static. They'll slowly move as the Elemental Tide washes them …"
Aishi? The Cloud Tower in the center of the Mage Country was a holy land for mages.
This was a city in the sky with an incredibly dense academic atmosphere. There were countless magic academies and organizations here, as well as high-level research centers and personal research centers all over the city. Only the most excellent magical scholars would have the opportunity to stay here outside of their studies.
Every season, or even every day, countless research results would appear here. Hundreds or even thousands of academic papers and experimental results would be organized into various topics and placed on sale, creating a vast knowledge base for anyone who needed them.
Most … no, to put it bluntly, more than ninety-nine percent of academic papers would never be read by anyone. The number of trial readers and subscriptions would forever be in the single digits or even zero.
For example, the academic paper above had spent a great deal of effort to prove the relationship between the Elemental Tide and the migration of the Elemental Planes. It had numerous references, several thousand years of research, solid evidence, and detailed proof. It clearly explained the instability and migrability of the Elemental Planes, especially immature Elemental Planes. But … it was basically impossible to find any practical application for it.
Even if the Fire Elemental Plane rotated 360 degrees, it wouldn't have anything to do with a mortal plane resident like you.
Even if you needed to adjust the dimensional coordinates of the Dimensional Door … Well, considering the Elemental Plane's tremendous mass and slow movement speed, even if you died of old age, you probably wouldn't be able to change the dimensional coordinates of the Elemental Plane by one decimal place. This was basically meaningless.
Most of the papers and research results were just that "meaningless". The result was just a few keywords that were marked and then thrown into the backup knowledge base. Even the author of the paper would quickly forget about them if they did not continue to delve deeper into the research.
But sometimes, due to unpredictable reasons, such "research trash" would suddenly be dug up and become important theoretical evidence and products.
Right now, such a time was coming …
The level 3 researcher half-elf Somar was looking at his wristwatch in astonishment. In less than ten minutes, the goblin bank had sent him eleven messages. At the same time, eleven money transfers were sent to his account.
He instantly received more than thirty thousand gold coins. For a second-rate researcher who specialized in summoning the Elemental Planes, this was a huge sum of money that would last him several years.
After confirming the money transfer, Somar discovered that his immature elemental thesis from thirty years ago had been purchased.
"Saul's church?"
Thaumar was still in shock. His theoretical thesis, which had no practical significance, had actually been purchased by eleven churches of the New God.
The Elemental Elemental Plane's chat channel was exploding.
The country bumpkins of Thor seemed to have gone crazy. As long as they saw any papers about the Elemental Planes, Elemental Lords, or Tides, they would unhesitatingly buy them. This made the scholars of Cloud Tower, who didn't have much of a reputation, happy as if they were celebrating a festival.
Most of the other researchers also sold two or three complete theses. However, there were many people who viewed and bought the outlines. There weren't many who sold a complete thesis like Somar.
Somar's rewards weren't over yet. There were no more people who bought his thesis. However, Somar discovered that he had signed off on other elemental and elemental related theses.
"Ding!"
There was yet another notification. Somar thought that another church had purchased his thesis, but the next instant, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"A buyout? A thirty-fold buyout? "
Even the author himself couldn't believe that a thesis with an F rating that even the author himself had forgotten was directly bought out for a huge sum of nearly one hundred thousand gold coins.
At the same time, the Cloud Tower's large library instantly deleted all information regarding this thesis when the technical buyout was completed.
Even the author himself couldn't use the research's success and data to write a thesis of the same type.
A buyout like this was extremely rare. Only academic theses with a low value rating (E and below) could be bought out. Moreover, even if a thesis of this level was valuable, it was fine to buy it and read it. There was no reason to buy it all at once and not show it to others.
But now, its existence was valuable. Somar was dumbfounded as he looked at the huge sum of money. He really didn't know what was going on. Could it be that the large library's tower spirit had malfunctioned?
Then, a sudden invitation woke him up.
It was from a relatively unknown church in the Saul. They were probably still browsing through the general outline of the thesis and hadn't had the time to buy the thesis itself. Thus, they directly looked for the author, hoping that he could come to Saul and provide theoretical guidance.
The moment they opened their mouth, they gave a reason that this unpopular scholar couldn't refuse.
"Mister Somar, the phenomenon of Elemental Plane migration that you mentioned in your thesis is currently happening somewhere! Yes, your theory isn't wrong. An Elemental Demiplane is devouring everything at a speed visible to the naked eye! "
On the outskirts of the mountainous area, the Seymour People and the Aishi People were nervously looking at the sky not far away.
Grey clouds were approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye. Along with it, there was a violent wind and a hell of thunder. This wasn't the season for thunder to descend.
Wherever the dark clouds touched, the color of the entire world would be changed. It was different from the violent thunder of the previous thunder season. This was a complete change that touched upon the laws of the world.
It was as if a naughty child was holding an invisible colored pen. Wherever the pen passed, the world would become colorful and lack a sense of reality.
After a period of time, the area was filled with bluish purple that represented thunder and lightning, forcibly turning into a world of thunder and lightning elements.
Visible to the naked eye, streaks of lightning struck down, but they didn't dissipate as quickly as before. At the places where the lightning struck, tiny creatures gathered and formed. Those were the birth of thunder and lightning elemental creatures.
Without needing to accumulate much knowledge, the mages who stayed outside had already come to a conclusion. The Elemental World of Hallett's Wasteland, which seemed to have never changed since ancient times, had actually begun to expand its domain.
At the same time, the ground beneath their feet was constantly shaking, and violent thunder rumbled under their feet.
The earthquake became more and more violent, and the thunder beneath the ground became louder and louder. It was as if something was approaching the ground, as if a sleeping giant was turning over.
Suddenly, Hermit, who was the external logistics manager of the Game Church, received a message from below.
