Sword of Dawn

Byron laughed, nodded and said, "I understand that."

Extraordinary people all have this common sense. Spells can be divided into two types in terms of control methods. One is "forming and realizing." After completing the construction of the spell model, it only needs to be stimulated, and the complete spell effect can be released, like a fireball The same is true for Frostbolt and the like, and the other type is "mental power guidance". This kind of spell is usually continuous. It requires the caster to continuously control the mental power during the release process. Once interrupted, The spell also dissipates immediately.

Obviously, the current magic machine can only realize the former spell, while the latter... Due to the limitation of maintenance methods, it is doomed to be unable to get rid of the "operator" of the extraordinary.

This is obviously inconsistent with the magic technology's concept of "attributing the extraordinary to mortals", and it actually limits the development of magic technology.

In fact, in the current technology development process, this limitation has already begun to appear - the virtual interface that the immersion cabin needs to present after linking with the human brain, and the "writing" of some parameters of the magic web broadcasting system cannot be done through a simple The process of controlling the rune trigger and requiring the participation of the operator's mental power is still completely dependent on the real mage to operate.

This is also one of the reasons why the production of immersion chambers has been unable to increase for a long time-each immersion chamber needs to be adjusted by an official mage for a long time. How many mages in the research institute can be used to do this kind of thing?

Byron vaguely guessed the function of this so-called "nerve thorn": "So... this thing can allow ordinary people to use their mental power to control those channeling spells?"

"To be more precise, it allows ordinary people to 'sense' magic power." Pittman smiled, and said something that would make every traditional transcendent stunned.

Let ordinary people feel the magic power! !

Byron's eyes widened, and it took a few seconds before he realized what the strange thing in front of him meant.

The dividing line of magical talent is the induction magic power, and the first threshold for ordinary people to enter the extraordinary realm is also the induction magic power.

Only by sensing the existence of magic power can it be possible to control it, use it, and achieve extraordinaryness—but this special talent is only possessed by a very small number of talented people.

"We have been working on this thing for a whole year, and we have always been stuck on the problem of 'artificial neurons cannot survive in small devices for a long time'. Until recently, the technology of the end of all things has helped us make up for this problem," Kami said. "We've managed to make a neurothorn that works for a long time—although, it's a long way from being perfect," said Hall humming.

Pittman also straightened up slightly, with a proud expression on his face: "As long as this thing is successful, it will be truly 'everyone is extraordinary'."

Byron couldn't help being affected by the atmosphere at the scene, and he became a little excited, but soon he remembered his purpose of coming here today: "...but what does this have to do with peas?"

Pittman looked at him: "As a crude early-stage technology product, the nerve thorn is still far away from realizing the goal of 'everyone is extraordinary', but before that, it may be used to achieve something simpler than spellcasting— — This thing can be directly connected to the human brain, if it is connected with a "gadget" that emits sound, perhaps, it can "speak for" the pea."

Byron was silent for a moment, and only asked, "Is there any risk?"

"Yes, any experiment has risks, the main risk is brain damage," Kamel said directly, "We will set up enough safety locks and release spells to protect the mind and brain for Pea in advance, which can put Risk is minimized."

"...I'm going back to ask Pea for her own opinion."

"Of course it is, as it should be."

Chapter 0753 Some Changes

In the south of the Mage District, in the recently unveiled "Film Films", Fendil and others are watching the recruited skilled workers assembling those dazzling magic devices in the open space.

Eleven's attention couldn't help but fall on a quiet girl in a plain coat with long flaxen hair.

As far as he knew, this girl came here to work only today. She and her two companions seem to have just finished their studies at General College and came here to apply for temporary labor, and...she can't speak, she is a mute.

But this dumb girl has astonishing magic knowledge, and can skillfully use those tools and assemble complex magic machinery. In terms of proficiency, she is not inferior to those who are much older than her. Magicians.

Fendil's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Eleven's gaze: "My friend, pay attention to your gaze, this little lady is a minor."

"...Damn it, Fendil, when did you become so vulgar?" Eleven couldn't help but glance back at Fendil, "Did you lose control of your mind after leaving the ice and snow of the northern border?"

"I just want to remind you," Fendil raised his hands, showing an innocent expression, "We should start discussing Film's script."

After hearing this, Eleven looked at Film, who was sitting on the other side, and the latter showed a somewhat helpless expression, pointing to the paper on the table.

"Okay, let's study how to show the lives of all the settlers on board the 'Highlander' in a series of scene cuts." Eleven waved his hand, "Frankly speaking, I don't think this link can be handled once Well, the whole presentation process will be extremely lengthy and boring..."

With her head down, Pea skillfully and quickly inserted the calibrated rune substrate into the pedestal of the magic net terminal, watching the crystal embedded in the pedestal gradually light up, she smiled with satisfaction.

The conversation of the three young people not far away also reached her ears.

She didn't really understand what the three people were discussing. In fact, she didn't even quite understand what the so-called "Film Films" was doing.

She just judged from the conversations of the people around her, the sets in the open space, and the actors in various costumes reciting lines everywhere, that this place seemed to be a "theatre"—and it was a theater with a strange style.

The theater used to be a place she couldn't even imagine. Before she met her adoptive father, she was a servant of a merchant. The only connection she had with the theater was when her master went in to watch the play. Stay near the stables and watch over the owner's horses and belongings.

And after she became the adopted daughter of a knight and lived an incredible life, she went to a theater once out of curiosity—it was the theater in Tanzania Town, of course, it was Tanzania City now.She was visiting that city with her friends at that time, and a certain theater owner with a keen sense of smell heard about it from nowhere, and kindly invited her, the "daughter of an imperial general", to watch the show, but that time in order to satisfy The experience of going to the theater to watch a play out of curiosity is not interesting.

It was a long and boring performance, with long passages of lectures that were incomprehensible, and incomprehensible story logic. Pea only remembered that the actor who played the role of the prince on the stage stood there and said some lines after another, and there were some well-dressed people in the audience. Applause and applause, less than one-third of the audience was seated, and she herself was counting the seats around the stage and the number of bricks on the roof the whole time.

This "Film Film Company" was different from the theater she remembered.

She still hasn't found out where the chairs for watching the drama are, nor can she see a clear stage.

Probably another new idea thought up by a smart person——Looking at the Magic Net terminal in front of her, Pea couldn't help thinking about it.

Anyway, in this city, new things always emerge in an endless stream.

……

More and more new things are being born in this young and old country, and their appearance is not just a change of lifestyle for some people.

The bright sunlight spills into the room through the large crystal glass windows, and the winter snow scene outlines a beautiful scenery outside the window. The new magic heat exchanger keeps the room as warm as spring. A girl in a white dress is sitting Sitting on the seat with wheels, he concentrated on watching the magic net terminal not far away.

The bright sun shone on the girl, coating her burnt and wrinkled skin with a layer of glow, making her already bright eyes even more sparkling.

Over the magic net terminal not far away, the holographic projection is showing the scenery of the far north. A "reporter" in the city of San Sunil is introducing San Sunil to the audience in front of the magic net terminal. The ancient walls, and the history behind that city.

Those pictures from afar are things that could never be experienced or imagined from books, or from the dictation of elders or teachers.

The show ended, the girl on the chair showed a somewhat frustrated expression, and the sound of footsteps came from behind her.

Roperney Grant came to her daughter's wheelchair, bent slightly, and smiled softly: "Patty, it's time to rest."

Patty couldn't help puffing up her cheeks: "But I want to watch it for a while..."

"Your health has just improved, so you can't be tired for too long," Ropeni Glen shook her head. This lady is the consul of the Glen region. In front of her daughter, her gentleness was never stingy, "Be obedient, let's see at night."

Patty thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "Okay."

Luo Penny couldn't help but stare at Patty for a long time.

Just that simple nodding action already made her excited.

Once upon a time, my daughter couldn't even nod her head. This frail child could only lean on the wheelchair, fix her body with a bunch of belts and cloth strips, and had to bear huge pressure when she raised her neck for more than 5 minutes. pain.

But now, she can already nod her head and sit up. The burns on her body are no longer festering, and the once completely disabled arm has regained consciousness not long ago.

His Majesty Gawain has been fulfilling his promise without any compromise.After the Battle of the Rock Fortress, and since the southern border was returned to Cecil, a new order has been established in this land. Glenn has received the protection and help of the Cecil family, and Patty... has also been receiving the help from the Cecil family. Healing for Cecil's druids.

The druid named Pittman and his team worked out a detailed treatment plan for Patty. It took them two and a half years to heal the festering wound on Patty's body and restore her physical strength little by little. , And in the last half month, they have also brought technology that can regenerate limbs, allowing Patty to miraculously regain some mobility.

The treatment is not over yet, and Patty still needs to sit in a wheelchair. She still has a lot of scars on her body, and her disabled legs have not yet recovered. The druid named Pittman once confessed to Ropeni Grant , Patty's injury has exceeded the limit of medical technology, and even the current "biological regeneration technique" cannot guarantee that she can be completely cured, but even so, Luo Penny still feels unprecedented joy and satisfaction—the current situation, It's far better than she ever dreamed it would be.

Patty noticed that her mother's gaze was on her all the time, but she was used to it. The girl blinked with curiosity in her voice: "Mom, when is Uncle Gawain coming again? He seems to be very busy and hasn't been there for a long time." coming……"

"Your Majesty," Luo Peini couldn't help pressing Patty's hair, "Your Majesty is busy with business, he has a big empire to manage, we can't cause him too much trouble - and he is not sending you Is the magic net terminal here? It can also accompany you."

"Well, I like the magic net terminal," Patty laughed brightly. "It can see what's happening far away on it...Mom, can I travel far in the future?"

"As long as you take good care of your body, you will be able to go out," Luo Peini said seriously, "but you can't watch the magic net terminal for too long every day."

Patty nodded quickly: "Then I'm going to take a nap, Mom."

Luo Peini smiled, and the maid who had been waiting by the side stepped forward, holding a delicate and complicated tiara in her hand.

It was the tiara that had helped Patty sleep for the past few years.

Due to severe burns and scars on the psychological level, Patty could not sleep like a normal person. She could only fall asleep by relying on the hypnosis and dream effects of the crown, and let her spirit enter the "perfect" state of the eternal sleeper during the precious sleep process. Dream World".

Now, Patty's body is gradually improving, and the heavy psychological trauma is slowly disappearing, but she still can't completely get rid of the tiara, and most of the time, she still relies on the power of the tiara to fall asleep.

Luo Peini couldn't help but glanced at this exquisite and complicated magic prop.

This is a creation from the Sleepers.

Although Patty has been using this thing in the past few years, and Luo Penny is used to its existence, but looking at this crown at this moment, she suddenly felt a faint awkwardness, as if feeling that this thing is no longer Safe again.

She looked away and looked at Patty: "We don't use it today."

The girl looked at her mother with some confusion: "Mom?"

"Your Majesty gave us a gift," Ropeni Grant smiled, and waved to the maid next to her, signaling the latter to put away her tiara. She came to the back of Patty's wheelchair, unlocked the wheel, and slowly Pushing towards the door, "I'll take you to see it."

Pushing her daughter's wheelchair, the Viscount left the bedroom with large French windows and came to the room next to the bedroom.

This room also has large windows, with bright sunlight, and the most eye-catching thing in the room is a complex device placed near the window.

It was a "seat", but it was much more complicated and bulky than ordinary seats. It had a base covered with runes, and a shell that was half-enclosed like some kind of container, with a cover that seemed to be foldable, and a backrest. There are several shimmering "pipes" behind.

The moment Patty saw this thing, her eyes widened curiously: "What is this?"

"Immersion cabin," Luo Penny touched Patty's hair with a smile, "Your Majesty specially gave it to you—that tiara is not a good thing, and we won't use it in the future."

While speaking, she pushed the wheelchair to the side of the immersion cabin, then bent down, and gently picked up her daughter.

The girl is still thin and weighs less than her peers, but she is also much heavier than she was a few years ago.

Patty was put into the immersion cabin, and the comfortable curvature of the back made her almost able to lie in it. She blinked: "Mom, it's quite comfortable here."

Luo Penny tapped the tip of Patty's nose, and then pressed the button on the side according to the technician's previous explanation: "Go to sleep."

……

With the bright light spots flying around in front of her eyes, a sudden sense of falling made Mary wake up from the dream state.

The black-haired female apprentice blinked, sat up from the "immersion cabin" made by the instructor herself, which looked like some kind of sacrificial utensil, moved her neck slightly, and relieved the slightly stiff muscles.

The light from the magic spar lamp illuminated the surroundings of the immersion cabin, illuminating this secret basement.

She saw her mentor sitting not far away, as if she had been waiting there for a long time.

Mary quickly sat up from the immersion cabin, stepped forward, bent down to her mentor, and habitually reported: "Teacher, I assisted Master Kamel to complete the nerve thorn in the origin laboratory..."

Daniel waved his hand and interrupted Mary's report: "Let's report later, I brought them."

Mary didn't react for a while: "...they?"

"Your family." Daniel glanced at Mary, and there was no emotion in his yellow eyes. "Didn't you make a decision last time, at least to see them? I brought them from the countryside."

Chapter 0754 Distance

family……

When hearing this familiar but unfamiliar word, Mary felt a little dazed for a moment.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that she slowly remembered that she had indeed told her mentor a few days ago about her decision—she wanted to see her family.

The young female mage pursed her lips, and looked at her mentor hesitantly: "They are..."

"It's upstairs in the living room," Daniel said, staring at Mary with yellowing eyes. "You'd better wash before you go up—especially your hair."

"Okay... okay."

Mary hurriedly agreed, and then left the basement where the immersion cabin was located, a little distracted. She returned to the first floor, entered the public washroom, opened the water valve with her hand, and watched the clear water flow supplied by the magic water pump from the metal pipe. Flowing out, the sound of rushing water gradually calmed her down.

Her family members.

She can't remember what it was like when she left that home... An ignorant little girl, followed the older children to go on an "exploration" in the mountains. The ancient tower of the magician has changed her life since then, and she has cut off contact with her family since then. Now more than ten years have passed, and her childhood memories have long been blurred and weathered. The only impression she can remember is related to "home". It seems that there is only a low, airy old house, a dim lantern hanging on the door, and those bedtime stories used to scare children.

Unfortunately, many of those horrifying bedtime stories—about dark wizards, about old castles, about monsters in the mountains and magical servants—were lost in the next decade or so of her life. became a reality.

The water was rushing, and Mary picked up the cold water and slapped it on her face.

She couldn't remember what her parents looked like, but she still wanted to meet them.

After leaving the bathroom, the young female mage gradually calmed down. She saw that her mentor was already standing in the corridor, looking at her expressionlessly. When she saw herself appear, the old mage in black robe just nodded. Then he walked towards the living room in silence.

Mary steps forward to follow.

When they came to the door of the living room, a servant immediately stepped forward and opened the door of the living room for the master.

Mary saw the scene in the living room.

The fireplace is burning quietly on one side of the living room, and the red light of the fire shines on the nearby copper shelf. The dark red sofa is placed in the center of the living room. An old couple with gray hair and wrinkled faces was sitting on the sofa.

They sat very carefully, most of their bodies were outside the sofa, as if they were afraid of soiling the luxurious furnishings here.

——It seems that the mentor only brought her parents, but not her sister.

The old couple on the sofa also saw the person appearing at the door. They stood up almost instantly, showing awe and obsequious smiles at Daniel, and then they saw Mary standing behind Daniel. At this moment, the separation The family who had been together for more than ten years finally met.

Mary stared fixedly at the old couple, watched their cloudy eyeballs roll, and their eyes fell on her robes, watched them slowly reveal their expressions of humility and awe, and watched them slowly bend down.

This series of actions is like a conditioned reflex.

"Dear Mage." She heard the couple address themselves.

Mary was a little overwhelmed, she heard Daniel speaking from the side, his tone was cold: "This is your daughter, there is no need to salute."

The old couple straightened up and looked at Mary with a trace of surprise, but there was still obvious tension in the surprise. Mary didn't know what she was feeling at the moment. Squeeze out a voice: "Father, mother..."
