Chapter 894: 894

“‘Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy’… This is so Douglas…” Having known Douglas for years and communicated with him on magical knowledge often, he had a profound understanding of the guy’s naming style .

For some reason, Fernando’s anxiety and uneasiness were appeased when he saw the book . Just like when he studied magic every time, he forgot the dark reality, as well as the dark and hopeless environment, and completely devoted himself to the glamorous world .

It was a pity that there wasn’t a place where one could read magic books quietly, unless they ran far away . However, how far could they run if they only backed off?

Fernando’s mind was disturbed again, but he already opened the book subconsciously . The familiar handwriting entered his eyes .

The first part of the book was on the definitions of various symbols and scalar quantities . Fernando was involved in the discussion on the content before and soon understood them . Then, in the first article, Douglas pointed out three laws straightforwardly and established the mathematical preparations .

“The three laws of motion…” Fernando breathed hastily and could barely control his feelings . He read out the content aloud when he should have read it in his heart .

The three laws that Douglas concluded from nature were simple, straightforward, and apparently correct . One would feel that the laws went without saying the moment they read it . However, Fernando sensed more things from the three laws . The world he knew was dismembered into countless independent things that operated around the three laws!

The mysteries of the world were hidden in the phenomena that people believed to be natural and in the truths that they thought apparent!

After reading the three laws, Fernando felt that the whole world looked different in his eyes!

He completely forgot the heavy failure previously and the frustration brought by the Church . He was completely focused on the book .

In the second article and the third article, Douglas discussed and proved the objects’ motion status under ideal circumstances and when they were restrained through strict mathematical approaches . Calculus that Fernando was familiar with was used as a main tool .

Fernando did not have much trouble understanding it . He felt that his long-time accumulation of knowledge had finally been summarized .

The more he read, the more admiration he had . Douglas’ three laws were perfect! It was definitely the most in-depth description of motion in the history of magic!

However, his admiration did not last long . His mind was soon occupied by the title of the third article—”On the Law of Celestial Body Movement and Cosmic System” .

The first three articles were like water that had been stored . They surged out in this article and gathered into something called “gravity” . It was truly astonishing!

Also, Douglas discussed the shape of their own planet, the motion of the moon, the trajectory of comets, and the tides of the oceans based on them . Then, he analyzed and established an enormous universal system that included stars, planets, comets, and all the other natural phenomena!

“For a moment, the whole world is before my eyes…” Fernando forgot everything else and summarized his feelings in the notes .

His eyes had lost focus . A storm was brewing, and countless bolts of lightning were appearing .

Hathaway did not seem to sense Fernando’s change . She was still calculating something with her pen and paper . The content was almost the same as the third article on Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy .

After reading the book, Fernando wasn’t back to himself until a long time later . He grabbed onto the book so hard as if he feared that it would be gone .

It was too precious!

For a sorcerer, it was too precious!

After a long time, he finally roared, “Gravity! Is it the mysterious force that attracts the stars to move?”

Earnestly, he took out paper and pen from his magic pouch and began to deduce on his own .

The result clearly matched the astrological observations . Fernando said to Hathaway in excitement and confusion, “Is this the mystery of our world?”

“Yes . ” Hathaway nodded . Her silver eyes were still indifferent, but they were covered in a hazy mist, as if she was also touched by the revelation of world mysteries even though she was a princess instead of a sorcerer .

Fernando clenched his fist and suddenly knocked his head . “It’s not an illusion! It’s not an illusion!”

Casting a spell to his eyes, he looked at the sky through the thin curtain .

Stars were glittering brilliantly in the middle of the night, but in Fernando’s eyes, many bright lines that bound and powered them were added among them .

“There can’t be a magic circle that is more magnificent than that…” Fernando complimented sincerely without any sarcasm .

Hathaway stopped her pen and looked at Fernando coldly . “Not desperate anymore?”

Fernando’s face had a twisted expression, and his voice became low as he said, “After reading Douglas’ Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy, I have a feeling that everything in the universe is under the control of sorcerers… Although the odds of success are low, I would like to shed the last drop of my blood for the pride and for the exploration of more mysteries .

“Also, given more time, when more sorcerers understand the laws of the universe and grasp calculus, there will be a population boom of senior-rank sorcerers, archmages, and even legendary sorcerers .

“For example, after reading the book, I am already confident to become an archmage in ten years although it hasn’t been long since I reached the eighth circle . ”

In his excitement, Fernando revealed his true thought .

Hathaway nodded . “You need time . ”

It was her principle never to speak more words than necessary!

“Time… We are not necessarily running out of time…” Fernando thought hard and analyzed the current situation, looking for things that could be made use of .

At this moment, the wagon stopped .

“We’re here . ” Hathaway stood up, opened the door, and flew out .

She’s flying out? Fernando’s eyes were popping out . When did the little girl become a sorcerer? Also, she’s at least in the fifth circle!

The one driving the wagon was Fernando’s old acquaintance, “Blue Grace” Sharp . He sniffed and said, “You were a bad influence on Hathaway . She went to the royal library in secret and found the files about the Will of Elements . ”

The Will of Elements, an organization of legends in the Magic Empire, was destroyed by the Sword of Truth, but the files and books were secretly collected by Hoffenberg .

Fernando’s lips twitched . I only taught her mathematics, not magic! Don’t blame it on me!

The wagon stopped at a corner of a quiet manor . Fernando sensed something the moment he got off the wagon and looked at the darkness on the left side .

Tall and strong, Douglas walked out of the darkness . He seemed even more mature than before, like a charming gentleman in his forties .

Looking at Fernando with a smile, he said straightforwardly, “There are four things . Firstly, I’ve become a legend . It’s a brand-new class that I received from the feedback of the real world . I’ve named it ‘Elect of Magic’ .

“Secondly, a lot of archmages and senior-rank sorcerers survived . I’ve copied ‘Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy’ and offered it to them .

“Thirdly, not all of the legendary sorcerers were killed in the battle of Aalto . At least seven legends, including the Lord of Frigidity, the Lord of Abyss, the Umbral King, and the Owner of Souls, survived . Some hid in the Dark Mountain Range, some returned to the northland, and some went missing . I’ve asked someone to deliver ‘Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy’ to the Lord of Frigidity . The top legends like Prince Dracula, Danisos, and the Mother God of the Earth are not dead at all . ”

After a pause, he continued, “Fourthly, the empire has completely collapsed, and the Church has never been more powerful . However, it also means that the conflicts between the Church and the nobles will be more and more intense . ”

The current situation, the prospects in the future, and the individual efforts had been perfectly reflected in the four things . It was enough to show most desperate sorcerers the dawn of hope!

Even though Fernando had already made up his mind just now, he still felt that he saw the light in the darkness when he saw Douglas’ confident smile .

However, he was still quite surprised . “You’ve copied ‘Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy’ and sent it to all the sorcerers?”

Although he kept saying that more sorcerers would make breakthroughs if they read “Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy”, he knew very well that such a magic book that contained mysteries of the world was the great secret that every sorcerer cherished . It was their power source and the guarantee of their position and wealth . Nobody would share it easily unless the other person offered something equal or much more valuable in return .

For them, magic knowledge of such a level was almost their life!

However, Douglas had copied and offered “Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy” to all the sorcerers?

It was completely against common sense and humanity!

Douglas nodded his head . “At a moment like this, we have to break the norm . ”

He said solemnly, “Actually, I’ve never been fond of the ways that the sorcerers communicate in the empire . You should know that exchange of information helps us get more inspirations and figure out more things . Also, I have a feeling that, in the future, magic research will be more and more difficult when it presses into the nature of the world . All the sorcerers have to work hard together selflessly in order to move on .

“I believe that it is necessary to separate the magic knowledge that can be communicated and the magic knowledge that should be kept to oneself . Well, the former should be focused in the fields like mechanisms of magic and the essence of the world . Maybe we can give it a new name . Well, it’s about the mysteries of the world . Let’s call it ‘arcana’ . ”

“Arcana?” Fernando repeated it, feeling that something old and rotten was collapsed by a cool, refreshing breeze .

So be it! After all, there weren’t so many old guys around telling them what to do now!

“Arcana . ” Hathaway lowered her head and pondered the meaning of the term .

“Arcana…” Sharp said in a low voice in confusion, puzzled why Douglas tried to create a useless new term in such difficulties .

Arcana!
