As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 242 Three Days
What is Regionalized Magic Network?
If they encounter a planet that is unwilling to cooperate, the Mage Alliance will create a regional magic network by dropping a large number of Mablot vine seeds from a long distance.

Mablot is the wizard who invented this magical plant.

Through this magic plant, even without magic organs or magic brains, some fixed spells can be cast.

The Mage Alliance will insert several fixed gene fragments into the gene editing of the Mablot tree, which can mobilize different magics accordingly.

Then a large number of Mablot vines constructed a complete magic network within the area.

The user uses a magic wand and spells to mobilize the energy of the magic network to cast spells.

Essentially they are not wizards, they just borrow the abilities of magical plants.

With the power of the Mage Alliance, it is possible to build a magic network covering the entire planet.

For planets that are unwilling to cooperate, the Mage Alliance creates a magic network to disrupt their original internal balance.

The broken balance means turbulence and redistribution of interests.

And because they have been in contact with the Mage Alliance, the Mage Alliance can contact most forces through communication transmission devices.

Having witnessed the power of the Mage Alliance through the magic network and with the guarantee of the Mage Alliance, there will naturally be forces willing to cooperate with the Mage Alliance.

In this way, the Mage Alliance has opened a gap, and it will take decades to recapture a planet or even a galaxy through the gap.

As for the mode of cooperation, it will still depend on the specific circumstances.

This tactic has been tried and tested, except for its failure against the Empire.

The empire was completely monolithic, and its pyramid-shaped and atomized social structure meant that no one dared to resist.

The Mage Alliance was discovered the moment it began communicating with the Empire.

Then the magic net launched by the Mage Alliance was used by the Empire, which developed its own set of gameplay based on the Mablot vines.

The Empire's power system is different from that of the Mage Alliance. After obtaining the Magic Network, although it is impossible to fully understand the essence of the Magic Network, it can be studied and utilized based on the Magic Network.

Even the control over the magic network deployed by the Mage Alliance on planets within the Empire's area was taken away by the Empire by some means.

You must know that no civilization has ever been able to take control of the magic network away from the Alliance.

The magic network is a double-edged sword. While it can bring power and convenience to intelligent civilization, the control of the magic network is in the hands of others.

The analogy is that it is very enjoyable and convenient for Russians to use the Internet.

But at certain times, we can directly stop backbone Internet transmission, stop issuing SSL certificates, stop domain name resolution, interrupt international transmission networks, and stop various software and services.

The magic network faces a similar situation. The more a civilization uses the magic network, the more dependent it will be, but the control of this thing is in the hands of the Alliance.

The Empire is the only civilization that has escaped control. The Alliance will go to war with the Empire. On the one hand, the Empire is the one that actively provokes the war, and on the other hand, the Empire's level of civilization is not low.

The Alliance wants to absorb the Empire's accumulated knowledge.

The Alliance and the Empire have dealt with each other several times due to their partial bordering areas.

There are constant wars in the bordering areas.

The Empire has an endless supply of troops, while the Alliance mostly relies on artificial intelligence control and fights for resources.

For example, the Empire has 100,000 people operating a starship, while the Alliance only has three or five mages operating a starship.

No matter how powerful artificial intelligence is, it cannot defeat experienced intelligent life in the control of a small starship.

Therefore, the two sides have maintained a relatively tense situation in the bordering star regions.

Until Zheng Li arrived at Blue Star, there was no clear winner.

The war that had been raging in a distant galaxy for nearly a thousand years had little to do with Zheng Li, who accidentally came to the Blue Planet.

It’s just that Zheng Li plans to use this technology to build a regional magic network in London.

The spell can only be cast within the area around London. If it is larger, the cost will be too high.

As for why I chose London, it was mainly because there is a strong magical atmosphere here and I have a natural foundation here.

Based on Zheng Li's judgment of Blue Star's research capabilities, within half a year, Blue Star's scientists will be able to find the Mablot Tree and find out what happened to the wizards who appeared in London.

But Zheng Li was very curious whether scientists would cut down and collect all the Mablot trees in London, or let London become a magic city.

(In addition, I chose London mainly to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. Otherwise, I would have chosen Shenhai to make the Magic City truly a Magic City.)
"Okay, let's do this for now. This will also achieve the desired effect.

Most people will have poor spellcasting results.

But it’s okay, I prepared some props for them.”

Because the Mablot tree was transformed based on some kind of magical plant, and Blue Star does not have any samples of this magical plant.

Zheng Li can only achieve partial effect with his magic.

The magic network of the Mage Alliance can simulate almost all the spells of normal mages, and the degree of simulation can even be reflected at the molecular level.

The magic net constructed by Zheng Li can only realize some basic elemental spells and one lethal spell.

“I am a public servant with special duties, and I have been active on the world stage and have a great reputation.

My most famous predecessor would probably be James Bond.

Unfortunately, as his junior, I can only associate with a group of scammers every day.

When the organization discovered the signal from Pluto and analyzed the existence of magic, everyone was very excited.

Because it means that our local public officials no longer have to face computers every day to analyze damn intelligence, but instead have sufficiently challenging tasks for us to do.

Magic does exist and is indeed not a prank. Moreover, the wizard who appeared in Stockholm can be said to have shattered all doubts about magic.

There may be conspiracy theorists outside who believe that this is a conspiracy directed and performed by the European Union itself.

As an insider, I know this is by no means a conspiracy; mages and magic really exist.

But we have never been able to find him, no trace of Merlin.

No trace of other magicians could be found either.

Merlin is like a ghost living on the Internet. As long as he doesn't appear, we can't even find his shadow.

When he doesn't appear, the only trace of magic's presence can be seen on magic.com.

As for the endless stream of people in England claiming to have super powers, nine out of ten are liars.

After we identified the so-called treasures handed down from ancient England as fake, the owner insisted that we identified them as authentic and then replaced his real treasures.

He also said he would complain to Her Royal Highness the Queen.

This is the first time I have seen such a rogue baron.

I don’t know what happened today. They had to call me from home to work in such a cold winter. It’s really weird.”

Daniel is an ordinary clerk in the Magic and Superpower Management Department of an institution in England.

He is mainly responsible for matters related to magic and super powers, and investigates all matters related to magic throughout the United Kingdom.

When the English astronomical observation agency discovered the radio signals in deep space and successfully analyzed them, England immediately organized people to verify the soul, magic brain, etc.

After verification, their department was established.

At that time, it can be said that troops were deployed and basically the most elite personnel were sent.

Everyone has a unique skill.

But there was no progress, no way to catch Merlin, and no way to find other wizards.

They could only act within the framework set by Merlin. When Merlin appeared publicly and issued Merlin's curse, the most important responsibility of their department - finding Merlin - was directly abolished.

Compared with the personal safety of the bigwigs, the functions of a department are somewhat insignificant.

Then England returned to the Europa League and they had even less to do.

Barron, who had been transferred to this department as director with great effort, was transferred away again with great effort.

The entire department has been transferred away from dozens of people, and now there are less than ten people.

Daniel is the most senior and longest-serving employee here.

"Are there any other magicians in this world besides Merlin?"

"There are many. For example, isn't Zheng Li from China a public mage?"

"I mean, is there a wizard who doesn't need to inject magic brain? Is there any such wizard besides Merlin?"

"OP what are you thinking, obviously there is no such thing, otherwise Blue Star would have been full of mages."

OP-original poster, which means the owner of the post in Chinese, generally refers to the person who posted the post.

"The problem is that I recently picked up the inheritance of a certain wizard. His spell inheritance does not require a magic brain, only spells and meditation."

"OP should stop fantasizing. I stopped fantasizing about this as early as when I graduated from elementary school and didn't receive a letter from Hogwarts.

I looked at your posting history and found that you had never posted anything before. You don’t even have an avatar. Are you only in elementary school? "

“If there is magic on Blue Star that can be performed without a magic brain, then the wizard will definitely leave clues.

Unlike now, most mysterious places have been explored by humans, but still nothing has been found. "

“I also believe that magic can be performed without a magic brain.

The function of the magic brain is to enable you to quickly learn to cast spells, but it is not a necessity for magic.

But I really don’t believe any random poster who claims that he or she has inherited magic.”

A blogger on FB in England posted a message under the topic of magic, saying that he had obtained a magic-related inheritance.

And it claims to be a magical inheritance that is completely different from the Demon Brain.

There were very few responses to the first post.

A few days later, he posted a second post:

“The inheritance is real, and I’ve found the feeling.

Magic can be performed without a magic brain. I can already feel the elemental souls floating in the air.

At most one week, after one week I will become the new mage."

The post is filled with a middle school vibe that makes people want to complain.

However, netizens are knowledgeable and have seen all kinds of middle school students with syndrome in the magic section.

Therefore, not many people paid attention to his second post.

Until he made the third post, which was a video in which only a white curtain and hands appeared.

Water vapor slowly appeared out of thin air in the center of an ordinary palm, and then gathered into a water ball.

“You see.”

This post came to an abrupt end after it was published.

This is the first time that a chuunibyou patient has posted a video as evidence of what he said.

"Man, the special effects are great."

"I admit that this story has a certain amount of credibility."

"Nice Rasengan."

Naruto is also very popular in England.

"Really cool"

"How is this done? Special effects or some kind of props? Can you teach me? I'm willing to pay to learn, I want to give my girlfriend a surprise"

When people were joking about the video, one comment went off topic:

“I am a technician who specializes in CG work. I am sure that the video posted by OP is not a special effect. As for whether it is a prop, I cannot judge, but I have asked my friends to watch it.

But I suggest you save the video, it is very likely to be real.”

"I am an information security technician. I have analyzed the video and can confirm that there is no editing or special effects added to it.

The white background ensures that there are no props, at least from what I've observed.

And a very important point is that props cannot make water vapor turn into a ball out of thin air.

Just the fact that water vapor appeared out of thin air in his hand, appeared at a fixed point in his palm, and was regular in pattern, made it unlikely to be a prop.

Not to mention that the water vapor gradually turns into water balls, and even the speed at which it turns into water balls is accelerating.

But I am certain that the video was not sped up.”

"I am an unknown movie prop master. As a prop master with 20 years of experience and who participated in the prop design of Interstellar, I can guarantee that this is definitely not an effect that can be achieved with props."

The judgment made by an industry insider under his real name instantly made the post the most popular post of the day in the magic section.

“Oh my god, is this true?!”

"A new kind of magic has appeared? A magic that ordinary people can learn and master?"

"OP, take me with you. I'm willing to pay 10,000 Euros to learn magic!"

The British pound has also become history, and now the entire European continent uses the Eurodollar.

"I'm willing to pay one hundred thousand yuan!"

"Even if you can tell me where you got the magician's inheritance, I am willing to pay a reward of 100,000 yuan."

Twenty minutes later, the post was locked.

Thirty minutes later, the video and post content, including the comments of all commenters, were transferred to relevant agencies.

"Daniel, read the email first, then tell me what you think."

Daniel's immediate superior ordered.

The entire office was filled with people, and everyone was quietly looking at the screen in front of them.

It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of snow falling outside.

“The technical department has made an appraisal.

The video has no signs of editing or post-production synthesis and was shot directly with the original camera of the iPhone 14 Pro mobile phone.

At the same time, we consulted a physicist, who said that this was definitely not something that could be achieved with props.

So there is no doubt that this is a magic-related event.

And it was the first magical event on Bluestar that had nothing to do with Merlin since Merlin showed up.

We have at most three days, and we need to find him during these three days!"
