Mentor Carmilla looked at the thirty Magic Airships slowly descending from the sky and narrowed his eyes, revealing a complicated look.
Xu Yi standing beside him noticed his strange silence and turned to look at him. He saw the strange expression on his face and after thinking about it, he asked, "Grandfather, do you think that there was something wrong with this attack on the Mana Magic Kingdom?"
Mentor Carmilla gave a sigh and shook his head, "No, I was the one who supported you the most in this operation, so there was nothing wrong with it.
But ….. thinking that the company's guards had caused the fall of five Great Magicians, I was a bit surprised and ….. not used to it. "
"Not used to it?"
Xu Yi looked at the sad look that flashed in Mentor Carmilla's eyes and his heart skipped a beat. After being silent for a bit, he asked, "Grandfather, do you think that ….. people like Great Magicians shouldn't fall so easily?"
Mentor Carmilla gave a bitter laugh, "The word fall is not used on normal people who die so easily."
He gave a sigh after saying this before continuing, "You have to know, just a few years ago, I was only a Great Magician."
Xu Yi couldn't help smiling, "Grandfather, could it be that you feel pity for us?
Relax, how could the company's guards make a move against you? Not to mention that you're an Arch Magus now, you're much stronger than normal Great Magicians.
Then again, I've never thought that Great Magicians were that great. Look, I'm also a Great Magician. "
Mentor Carmilla rolled her eyes at him and said with a cold snort, "Kid, you've never thought of yourself as a magician, so what does it matter if you're a Great Magician or not?
Speaking of this, I really feel that it's not worth it for the other magicians on the continent.
Kid, you clearly don't care about magic, but you've become a Great Magician that countless magicians dream of.
There are countless magicians who pursue the mysteries of magic, spending their entire lives on magic, but they can't become a Great Magician even when they die.
It really makes one sigh at the unfairness of fate. "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "You can't blame me for this.
Things like talent were unfair to begin with.
Besides, compared to talent, I feel that the mages on Sines have the wrong understanding of magic.
I have always believed that everything in this world can be analyzed in detail in a very specific way, instead of blindly adding strange adjectives such as' mysterious' and 'profound' to it.
Although magic is indeed miraculous, as long as one studies it thoroughly, in my opinion, it is just a useful tool. "
Mentor Carmilla fell silent.
As an archmage who had been studying magic since he was less than ten years old, who had been in the world of magic for more than fifty years, and who had finally touched upon the highest temple of magic, he was very unwilling to admit that his previous exploration had been completely wrong. Even the direction of his research had been somewhat wrong.
He was also unwilling to admit that magic was actually a simple thing that could be analyzed in detail with data, because it would be equivalent to admitting that the difficult and profound feelings he had for magic were almost nonsense.
However, he had to admit that Xu Yi's words were not wrong at all.
When Xu Yi proposed that magic could actually be explained by a specific data analysis module, he and all the other mages in the Chamber of Commerce thought that Xu Yi was simply joking.
However, later on, Xu Yi used his own set of data analysis module theory to apply more than half of the level-one to level-three spells. Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, including him, had no choice but to acknowledge Xu Yi's concept.
And once this point was acknowledged, the mages in New Flyer, who had long been deeply influenced by Xu Yi, and who had completely accepted all kinds of detailed data requirements in their large amounts of magic machine research, had developed a rigorous research spirit that was close to that of the scientists on Earth. It was as if a new world had been opened up, and they enthusiastically applied all the known spells into this module.
Then, they discovered that the concept and theory that Xu Yi proposed was simply too useful!
Under the concept of a detailed data module, any magic would become a combination of a large number of incomparably detailed data, and there would be no more mystery to speak of.
Take, for example, the simplest spell, which was also the most frequently used spell on the entire continent — the level-1 fire spell, Fireball Spell.
Before this, when low-level mages who had just come into contact with magic were learning Fireball, their teachers would usually only tell them to use their own mana to sense the fire magical elements in the surrounding space, and then use their own mana to attract and gather these fire magical elements, and finally condense them into a round ball.
When enough fire magical elements were condensed, and the concentration was high enough, the Fireball spell would naturally be formed.
Of course, if one was always unable to fulfill this requirement, then it could only mean that one's magic talent was not enough, and was not suitable to be a mage.
Or to be more precise, one's fire magic talent was not enough, and was not suitable to be a fire elemental mage. To be safe, one could still try out other types of magic.
Most of the time, one would have to rely on oneself to learn the magic that was learned under such a learning method.
The teachers who taught magic would only tell you how to use the magic, but not how to condense fire magical elements, how to condense these fire magical elements into a round ball, what this round ball should look like, and what the density of the fire magical elements in it was all about …
In short, everything depended on one's own exploration.
Therefore, magic talent was extremely important to a mage.
It was easy for mages with enough talent to learn and master magic, but those without enough talent would have to spend a large amount of time to have any hope of truly mastering this magic.
Even so, for the simplest Fireball spell, the effects of the Fireball spell used by different mages were extremely different.
This phenomenon fell into Xu Yi's eyes, and became the main reason why he criticized the current Sines magic research as being very careless and unscientific.
Xu Yi felt that with this kind of vague magic research model, there was no way to truly display the great use of magic as a tool.
Instructor Carmilla and the other magicians of the company didn't understand what Xu Yi meant by "unscientific", but they all agreed with the evaluation of "careless".
Because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce focused on making magic machines since the beginning, the magicians of the company had suffered quite a bit from the lack of rigorous magic research facilities during their years of research.
For example, when they first started researching the Magic Airship, although everyone knew that they could install a Flying Array on the Magic Airship, hoping that the giant Magic Airship could easily fly in the air.
But when they were researching, no one knew what kind of Flying Array to install. They didn't know how big the Flying Array should be, and they didn't know how to distribute the effects of the Flying Array … …
In short, because there wasn't any detailed data on the Flying Array, when they were researching the Magic Airship, just to determine the Flying Array, the magicians of the Academy of Magic spent a lot of effort.
Moreover, this phenomenon didn't just appear in the research of the Magic Airship, there were also many problems with the Magic Arrays used in the other magic machines.
So when Xu Yi proposed that all the magic data should be analyzed, the magicians of the New Flyer didn't understand at first, but after they understood, they accepted it faster than anyone else and were very supportive.
If you went to the Academy of Magic of the New Flyer, you would find that the magicians weren't interested in magic research, but rather they were studying the « Intermediate Mathematics » that Xu Yi had personally written.
This was to perfect the foundation of the Magic Data Analysis Module. According to what Xu Yi said, when they had a certain foundation of data, he would teach them the even higher level « Advanced Mathematics ».
As long as they grasped this knowledge, they would be able to understand and grasp the intricacies of the Magic Data Analysis Module.
But even if they didn't grasp the intricacies of it yet, just by using the low level magic in the Magic Data Analysis Module, they could deeply understand how convenient and intricate it was.
Take the Fireball Spell as an example.
After analyzing the Fireball Spell, Xu Yi had created a model for the Fireball Spell, proving that the shape and size of the Fireball Spell had the best ratio with the density of the Fire Elemental Magic he condensed.
Only with the best ratio could the Fire Elemental Magic in the Fireball Spell release the most stable explosive power.
It wasn't the strongest because to reach the strongest power, the ratio had to be increased. This wasn't good for the stability of the Fireball Spell, so it was very easy for the Fireball Spell to fail.
Or, this Fireball Spell could be directly upgraded to a level two Fire Spell, Scorching Flame.
Other than that, Xu Yi had also determined the best shape model for the level one Fireball Spell through his own research.
This model was not a perfect circle like the mages had imagined. Instead, it was a sphere that was slightly elliptical.
This was the only way to ensure that the Fire Elemental Magic in the Fireball Spell was in the most stable and even state when it was flying, so it could release the most powerful force when it hit the target.
In order to prove the results of his research, Xu Yi specially found a hundred level one mages from the New Flight College and had them train according to Xu Yi's theory on the Fireball Spell.
In less than a week, these level one mages had completely mastered the Fireball Spell through this magic.
Although the Fireball Spell they released was still weak and strong, the difference was very small.
And the weakest Fireball Spell was still far more powerful than the Fireball Spell they used before.
Compared to the introduction of the Fireball Spell in the books about low level magic that were popular on the continent, the Fireball Spell they used was several times more powerful.
This proved that Xu Yi's research was a great success.
