After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

This progress is quite remarkable, considering that his initial size and height were already quite impressive.

This level of improvement, purely in terms of quantity... is equivalent to a lifetime of arduous training for many legendary mages.

"anyway--"

"It's always a good thing to be able to make further progress."

"It's the byproducts of this progress that's a bit too frightening..."

Charles gave a wry smile.

Then, he picked up his pen and wrote a line of formula on the pale manuscript paper.

After doing all this...

Charles breathed a sigh of relief and put his thesis and the experimental materials that Renata had given him into the file bag.

He sealed the file bag in plastic and cast an eighth-circle sealing spell on it using a high-speed divine incantation.

After doing all this, Charles finally sat back down on the beanbag chair.

He used his "magic hand" to open the refrigerator door and took out two bottles of soda and two glasses.

Ciel opened a bottle of soda, poured the liquid into two glasses, and then handed one of them to Renata, who was standing next to him.

"Generally speaking, such important moments deserve a bottle of champagne to celebrate—"

"However, I don't usually drink alcohol, so I substituted soda."

Charles smiled at Renata and raised his glass.

Alcohol can temporarily numb the nerves and senses, weaken mental strength, and affect the ability to gather information from the surrounding environment, as well as the speed and effectiveness of spell model construction...

For physical combat professionals who rely more on intuition and instinct in battle, drinking alcohol can sometimes actually stimulate a better combat state.

But for wizards who fight entirely with their intellect, this is an absolute taboo...

Of course, given Charles's current legendary status and life essence, most of the alcohol will be rapidly digested and broken down by his body as soon as it enters his system, without having any effect on him whatsoever.

However, this is a habit that Ciel developed when he was young, and he has kept it to this day.

Renata also raised the glass.

This former Twilight Witch, now known as the "Stars" Witch in the Western Continent, is clearly no stranger to these celebratory rituals.

Although she had hardly experienced a normal life, the knowledge she gained from books was not false; she was a theoretical giant.

Snapped--

The glasses collided in mid-air, and the two men drank the liquid beverage inside in one gulp.

.......

"What...is that formula?"

Renata held up her small diary.

With her mental strength, she naturally noticed Charles's actions long ago...

However, she did not disturb Charles while he was pondering, and only began to ask questions now that everything was over.

"That's the formula for blackbody radiation derived using mathematical induction..."

"Of course, although it has been modified and improved based on the planar rules of the Western Continent, its essence is still an empirical formula based on experimental data."

"This formula... and the data from my previous blackbody radiation experiments..."

"It seems to contradict all the arcane knowledge I previously knew."

Renata wrote with some confusion.

As Ciel's assistant...

In the past few months, she has been involved in almost all of Charles's research.

As the person closest to Charles, Renata undoubtedly also noticed the anomaly in this blackbody radiation research.

Unless it is at absolute zero, everything in the world has the property of constantly radiating, absorbing, and reflecting magic waves.

In order to study the laws of radiation that are independent of the specific physical properties of matter, an ideal object—an object that, under any conditions, completely absorbs external radiation of any wavelength without any reflection—is defined as an ideal blackbody...

Although an ideal blackbody does not exist, a cavity with a small hole on its surface can be regarded as an approximate blackbody.

however--

Studying thermal radiation from this perspective leads to results that are difficult to explain.

If we understand it using traditional arcane knowledge, specifically through the concept of magic waves, then the resulting formula can only be applied to the long-wave range...

However, if we understand it in terms of magical particles, then the resulting formula can only be applied to the shortwave range...

This was an extremely contradictory phenomenon that was difficult to explain from the perspective of traditional wizards' arcane concepts, to the point that even Renata was quite puzzled and wondered if she had recorded the experimental data incorrectly during the experiment.

However, no matter how much she checked and reviewed the data, she found that there was not a single error in the recorded data of the experiment.

This problem had also troubled her for a long time.

However, at this moment——

Charles, however, came up with a completely new formula.

A formula that can encompass both shortwave and longwave, as well as low-frequency and high-frequency domains, and perfectly match them.

Of course... what's important isn't the appearance of the formula—

But -

The formula carries astonishing implications.

.......

"That's...more than just a slight deviation..."

Charles gave a wry smile, stretched out his finger, and spun the glass in his hand around on the surface.

Renata, after all, wasn't a wizard in the true sense of the word...

Although she inherited the entire legacy of the wizarding civilization that once existed in the Dawn World over two hundred years...

Her arcane skill and magical abilities were on par with any legendary mage.

That's why she was able to easily pass the Black Tower's legendary mage test and become the newest legendary mage of the Dark Tower.

but--

Renata's power did not come from arcane magic.

Even setting aside magic, relying solely on the divinity that has completely become her own power, Renata is a genuine powerhouse.

Therefore, she naturally couldn't understand the formula, or the meaning behind it.

What kind of impact will this have on pure wizards who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of arcane magic?

"That's enough to almost completely destroy the entire Dark Tower..."

"The Tower of Babel was built by generations of legendary mages and archmages who sacrificed themselves one after another—"

"The result of bringing down that magnificent arcane edifice."

"Maybe......"

"This achievement will likely cause cracks in the mental world of a significant number of high-ranking wizards within the Dark Tower, making it difficult for them to advance further in the short term, and they might even slip down in rank..."

After all, even the spiritual ocean of the Xiaer was affected to a considerable extent, let alone the wizards of this world.

"but......"

"If they can truly take this step, their future as wizards will be bright."

Charles pondered this question for a long time...

He also considered temporarily concealing this research result so that the wizards of the Dark Tower would not be affected in terms of strength or even rank.

but......

The final Ciel...

They chose a different path.

He chose to believe in the Dark Tower and in his fellow wizards.

Arcane magic, wizards...

It's simply about seeking knowledge and improving day after day, night after night...

Should we continue to pursue the truth of all things in the world along the path paved by our predecessors?

If those so-called authorities and sages are wrong, then we should correct them.

If you hesitate and dare not continue because of the potential negative consequences and impacts, what kind of arcane mage are you?

"Times will always progress..."

On the surface, the Dark Tower and the wizards are already powerful enough.

They hold a lofty and unshakeable position on the Western Continent, and even the major kingdoms hold wizards in high esteem.
