Sword of Daybreaker

Morgan seemed to have been ignited with fighting spirit. This old scholar, who was born in the ranks of the old Anzu court mages, once thought that he was already a person who looked down on everything. The enthusiasm for facing new things has never faded. The last time he felt his enthusiasm was burning, it was just when the Palamel Observatory was just completed.

At that time, for the first time, he observed the starry sky several times wider than before through the modern enchanted lens group and automatic calibration array. The new era recording equipment spit out real-time parameters from other astronomical observation points beside him. The imperial capital’s greetings came from the communication terminal... When a whole era came, he was as excited as he is today.

In all fairness, his resistance to the conjecture mentioned in that awkwardly grammatically naive essay was not as strong as his own, even though the content of the conjecture was too weird and seriously violated the common people’s perception of the world. Knowing, but as an old scholar who has explored the mysteries of magic for most of his life, he knows that there are many "truths" in this world that are contrary to people's intuitive perception, but then again...understanding is to understand, that set" The "unified fluctuation conjecture" argument is really outrageous, especially the "theoretical support" part, which is simply unacceptable for a rigorous and traditional scholar like Morgan.

Relying only on the extended interpretation of the nature of magical fluctuations, on the guesswork of some phenomena, on the basis of an "observation result" that cannot be replicated by others without leaving any recorded traces, such a bold assumption is made about the cornerstone of the entire world. Although the entire conjecture was finally internally self-consistent, Morgan did not agree with many of the premises of this conjecture.

Even if the person who proposed this set of conjectures is called "Milmina", it doesn't work, plus the name of the emperor.

"It seems that you don't plan to fight with me anymore," Benjamin looked at the sudden high spirits of his old friend, with a smile on his face. He drank the last bit of cold tea in the cup and bowed his head again. Looking at the magazine spread out on the table, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but twitch. Obviously, this thing is still not very easy to accept for him, but he does not have the urge to immediately prepare to post a rebuttal like Morgan. He just shook his head and got up from the chair, "This thing makes me dizzy... You can continue to study here, I'm going to the lens array to adjust my brain."

"I will go with you to study the content of this article, but I can't study it in this short while," Morgan also got up and said, "The observation conditions in these two days have been very good, and we can just complete the investigation of Frost Sky. The re-determination of the sixteen dark-III stars in the surrounding area and the data brought from Saint-Sunil are too old. It is not a simple task to correct all the omissions and errors in it..."

The two masters of astrology talked and walked towards the "focus platform" in the center of the rotunda, but at this moment, an assistant guarding the focus platform suddenly ran towards them. The young man had a face on his face. With a nervous and confused look: "Two masters, come and see that the image is suddenly a bit abnormal!"

Benjamin and Morgan looked at each other subconsciously, and then quickly followed behind the assistant to the focal platform

This so-called focus platform is actually the end observation device of the main lens group of the observatory. It is a perfect circular platform with a diameter of about three meters and is placed on the ground. The ground at the center of the platform is inlaid with a precision grinding and magic calibration. The artificial crystal is filled with a special alchemical solution, which can resonate with the lens group directly above and the rune array floating above the observatory, accurately projecting the starry sky observed by the main lens onto the surface of the crystal, while passing through the platform Some surrounding manipulating devices, the screen projected in the crystal can also be zoomed, recorded, or switched to the magical field of view.

In essence, the functions and principles of this observing device are similar to those of the magic device used by the Royal Observatory of Saint-Sunil, but the sophisticated and efficient modern technology allows the lens group driven by the machine and the focus crystal powered by the magic net to be both. With far more stability and room for improvement, for Morgan, this thing is much better than the old antiques he used in the old king.

He came to the edge of the platform and looked at the focus crystal embedded in the center of the platform and protected by a transparent shell. His assistant was standing in front of the control terminal on the side, adjusting the large, precise, and complicated device on the upper level of the observatory. , With the sound of machinery running and the buzzing of magical power flowing through the magical structure, the old mage saw dark ripples on the surface of the focus crystal, and the ripples gradually calmed down to the appearance of the night sky, with dots of light appearing. In the black curtain, however, around each star can be seen the blue phantom light, and the entire sky background seems to be covered with tiny but annoying, dim hair-like lines.

"It suddenly became like this just now," another assistant said nervously. "At that time, Burkner and I were adjusting the projection arm of the magic filter. We wanted the filter to be superimposed on the main lens group. We cooperated like this. Many times, there was no problem, and there was no problem this time. The system is normal, all the robot arms are in the predetermined position and angle, and the rune array is not reporting errors, but the screen suddenly becomes like this, no matter how you adjust it, it’s useless. …"

"You haven't touched the main lens? Are there any mechanical bumps or slight scratches?" Benjamin frowned and asked very seriously.

"No, we can be sure," the assistant hurriedly said, "In fact, the picture was normal for several seconds after the system was adjusted in place, and then no one moved it, it suddenly became like this..."

"It's weird..." Benjamin furrowed his brows and turned to look at Morgan. "I have never seen this kind of malfunction before. If the lens group is damaged, the problem on the screen should not cover the entire crystal evenly, if it is an intangible filter. The rune array should go to the police... do you want to check it on the dome?"

Morgan frowned from the beginning and said nothing, until Benjamin's voice fell, the old mage thoughtfully raised his head to look at the open roof above the observatory, and then he paused slightly. The whole body soared into the air, flying in the direction of the huge lens device.

However, after a short time, the old mage flew outside the roof. He floated in the cold night sky and scanned the lenses, crystals, rune substrates supported by the robotic arms, and the translucent layer covering the entire equipment. Barrier, and soon Benjamin also flew out of the observatory, floating beside Morgan in the sky.

"What's the matter, is there anything wrong with it?" Benjamin asked casually while looking at the device below.

"There is no problem with the lens," Morgan said in a deep voice, and then slowly raised his head to look to the sky. In the clear and deep night, the sky was full of stars, "There is a problem with the sky."

"Sky!?" Benjamin was taken aback, but he looked up at the sky, only to see the usual twinkling stars, "What's the problem with the sky?"

"Magic vision," Morgan reminded in a low voice. At the same time, a layer of light blue gleam had appeared in his eyes. The old mage raised his head and slowly scanned the clear and cloudless night, and in his pair of blessings In the magical special eyes, a hazy layer of thick "cloud net" as if formed by countless criss-crossing mists is covering the sky above the earth, and those hazy and illusory rays of light show a very shallow and light blue. The color is completely invisible in the eyes of ordinary people, and even the mages must have extremely keen observation ability to see them vaguely.

Benjamin also switched to the magical horizon under the reminder of Morgan. After carefully identifying for a long time, he finally noticed the things floating in the sky, which surprised him: "What is that?! Is there some kind of huge structure among the stars? ?"

"No, it's in our atmosphere... Look carefully, it passed through the top of the mountain on the west side," Morgan said solemnly. "These things seem to rise from the depths of the earth and float in the air. They interfere. Our astronomical equipment..."

Benjamin blinked vigorously and murmured as he tried to see more clearly: "This thing looks really evil, and I have never seen it in my life...Should we report this to the imperial capital?"

"Of course you have to report, and it's standing..." Morgan said, but just halfway through his words, the hazy and floating nets of clouds in the sky suddenly disappeared, as if shattered from a dream, leaving no trace.

The old mage subconsciously rubbed his eyes and scanned the night sky over and over with his eyes filled with magical brilliance. However, apart from restoring the clear night sky and the sky full of stars, he could no longer find the "foreign objects" he had just seen.

A broadcasting device near the roof of the observatory rang, and the voice of one of the assistants heard from it: "Two masters, the picture is back to normal! Did you fix the lens set?"

Benjamin and Morgan looked at each other and they didn't do anything yet.

…

"I didn't do anything! I just fished something here every day!" The siren with long lavender hair floats in the sea water condensed by pure water elements, while waving the light wave in his hand. He hurriedly said to the officer who came to inspect the situation, "I didn't know that this thing would suddenly change its flow, and it hurt a passing element lord!"

"I can testify," said Vera, the sentinel with long blue hair, raising the tip of her tail. "Croline is the number one'square salvager' here, and she has fished out six squares so far. Up!"

"You weren't allowed to prove this!" When she heard it, Coroline stared at her comrade-in-arms, "I want you to testify that these flowing ‘dark blue pulses’ were not crooked by me!"

"Oh, then I dare not say," Vera waved her hand when she heard this, "I don't understand this."

"you…"

"It's okay, it's okay." A "Haiyuan Commander" who came to inspect the situation couldn't help but interrupted the two noisy sentries in front of him with a headache. This one wore a close-fitting alloy armor and kept neat. The short-haired mermaid siren was personally assigned by Queen Pettia. The mission was to investigate a sudden injury incident near the Boundless Sea Outpost.

It is said that a dark blue vein near this outpost suddenly changed. The drastically changed energy stream severely injured a lord of the water element passing by. The victim believed that this was related to the fact that the sea monster sentinel stationed there often came from The "salvage" of things in the pulse is related, and in order to avoid this intensifying the relationship between the sea monster and the local water element, the queen sent her to investigate the situation and mediate.

Feeling that the somewhat big-headed Commander of Sea Abyss turned her head and glanced not far away, she saw that the unlucky water elemental lord was still floating in the sea. His huge elemental body was almost broken in half from the middle, and the swirling body of the lower body was reflected in Still trying to twist and try to blend with the upper body, but no matter how you look at it, it is already difficult to keep the sight of Commander Haiyuan. The lord of the water element immediately turned his head, and the vague face of his head showed a vicious look. He looked like, but apart from this vicious look, he couldn't take any action, a look that he dared to speak but couldn't beat him.

And beside this elemental lord, there were also many elemental guards who dared to be angry but couldn't be beaten by words, as well as more lower water elements who were neither afraid to be angry nor spoken but unable to beat them.

Commander Haiyuan looked in another direction. It was a huge blue light stream that emitted a faint blue light in the depths of the sea, flowing like a rushing river. It was the culprit of this incident. The "dark blue pulse" near the outpost is said to be the biggest fun of the soldiers in the outpost every day is to salvage the black square in this pulse, and now it suddenly changed for some reason. The water elements living nearby took This matter was suspected by the sea monster... and it was reasonable.

But Commander Haiyuan believed that this might not be the responsibility of the two sentinels in front of him.

They didn't have the ability to interfere with the operation of the "planetary power system" of Deep Blue Netway, the unlucky water elemental lord not far away, I am afraid he knew this too.

"I heard you say that there were other changes when the flow of this pulse changed before?" The commander thought, turning his head to look at the sentinel named Coroline, "Is it split?"

"Yes, a lot of small tributaries suddenly spread from the main trunk, all the way through the sea, I don't know where it spread to," Coroline said as he recalled, "but it only lasted less than half an hour. Soon those tributaries disappeared, but the remaining'main trunk' is still the same after the flow changes."

"Suddenly split into many tributaries... and then disappeared..." The Sea Abyss Commander frowned and muttered, "I don't know if the Deep Sea Witches can study anything."

Then she looked at Coroline and asked curiously: "You usually salvage the most ‘square’ from this vein, how do you do it?"

Although she did not think that Coroline was the cause of the change in this pulse, the necessary inquiry still had to be made, and she had to adopt an investigative attitude.

"Oh, it's easy," Coroline immediately showed a triumphant smile. She raised the light wave warblade in her hand and said while demonstrating, "I will use this, and I will guard it in advance and wait and see. Hit it when something comes, like this"

She waved her hand vigorously, piercing the light wave warblade into the deep blue pulse stream, and stirred it twice: "Special Jane..."

A swift black shadow suddenly appeared in the rushing blue light stream, and Coroline was enthusiastically explaining her unique trick, so that she did not notice that the appearance of the thing was accompanied by a loud noise, and the black object was solid. When she hit the war blade in Coroline's hands, the sudden huge impact prevented her from taking advantage of the trend as usual, but directly destroyed her balance in the water.

Accompanied by an exclamation, the purple-haired Kraken who was still excited the previous second fell into the turbulent blue light stream!
