In the magic research room, Borg looked at the translucent silk threads extending upwards on himself, and it took a while to break free from the strange feeling in his heart after seeing their appearance clearly at first glance.

What are these things?

Borg, who regained some sanity, looked at the translucent silk threads in front of him, and was really not sure of their usefulness.

He tentatively tried to reach out his hand to touch it, but in the end his fingers passed straight through the middle out of thin air, unable to touch the real thing.

...But think about it, if there are really so many threads tied to his body, even if they look pitifully thin, he will feel a little bit bound in the past few decades .

He designed this magic circle in order to be able to see the origin of magic in the world.After the magic forming took effect, except for these somewhat weird thin lines, the scene in front of me seemed to have no other changes visible to the naked eye compared to usual.

——So, is the other end of these lines connected to the source of magical power in the world?

Thinking of this possibility, and thinking that this difficult problem that has trapped all magicians in the world for dozens or even hundreds of years is about to be solved in his own hands to get the final answer, Borg's heart beat wildly, and he couldn't restrain his excitement for a while.

He can almost imagine that in the future, his portrait will be hung in the halls of all the magic unions in the empire together with the famous great magicians in history, and even the supreme god of magic.

He seems to be able to hear his name mentioned by countless magicians in the world in admiration or envy. Even the monsters on the other side of the border may have a voice talking about his life.

Even though he has already become a great magician, he has become accustomed to fame and fortune in the past few decades, but when this scene suddenly appeared in his mind, Borg's breathing could not help but be moved by the possibility he imagined. It became more and more hurried and chaotic.

He walked quickly to the window, the dust raised during his movements and the magic circle in effect on the window frame were faintly visible in the sunlight.Before he had time to open the window and probe out to see what the other end of the thin wires on his body was connected to, he had already got the answer standing at the window.

Outside the window, countless dense threads stretched out from the townspeople on the street, seeming to occupy the sky above Corunna.One end of them is tied to people on the ground, and the other end goes straight into the clouds, invisible.

This scene looked a little weird, and Berg was taken aback by the scene outside the window.Fortunately, he still has many years of experience as a great magician. He took a few deep breaths to forcefully suppress the growing uneasiness in his heart, maintained his sanity and began to carefully observe and analyze the specific situation outside the window.

Outside the window, not only the magicians who entered and exited the magic guild, but also the ordinary townspeople who rode scientific bicycles seemed to be connected with such translucent threads.

They don't know how to use magic, so it's nonsense to talk about the source of magic power... Could it be that there is still something wrong with the magic circle he researched?

The sudden drop from success to failure made Berger feel a little frustrated.He slowly returned to the workbench to check the magic circle he had designed. He looked back and forth four or five times, but he couldn't see where he made a mistake.

I don't know if he still has the great magician's absolute confidence in his own magic, or he can't accept his failure and subconsciously makes excuses for himself. He suddenly remembered the theory put forward by a certain great magician before——

The other party stated that there is magic power in everything in the world, but the magic power content in most people is too low to reach the threshold of concrete use, so they cannot become magicians.

"The ability to use magic, and the existence of magic power in the body", these can be regarded as the most fundamental existence that distinguishes all magicians from ordinary people, and this can even be regarded as the source of pride of magicians.

At that time, when this statement was made without any examples as a basis, even if the other party's point of view seemed to make sense in theory, magicians who could not accept that they were equal to ordinary people only regarded it as a joke, even Borg himself , when he heard about this theory, he only felt that the other party was talking in his sleep.

... However, judging from the scene seen after the magic circle was successfully activated, the opponent's theory seems to have some truth.

Borg looked at the thin wires attached to his body, and after thinking for a while, decided to go to the library to have a look.

At that time, he only memorized the relevant theories put forward by the great magician. He wanted to go to the library to find books that wrote the other party's relevant theories and study them carefully. At the same time as the conclusion, he can also add the magic circle he designed and constructed that can operate successfully, which is an alternative proof that the magic power in the world comes from the sky.

……

The great magician Borg walked out of the magic research room and came to the library of the magic union.

For some reason, he didn't stop the magic that was working on his eyes.Even though those thin lines that looked a bit unsightly separated the scene in front of him, he subconsciously chose to keep them in his sight.

...Of course, if he could break out of the hazy word "instinct" and perceive the reason, he would be able to find that all this was caused by his own anxiety.It’s like having to be in the same room with a ferocious beast, no matter how docile and obedient the other party looks, fear will still make people subconsciously stare at the other party’s movements, trying to clearly control all the other’s movements to avoid future possible occurrences danger.

Generally speaking, those theories that are considered too absurd by the living people are generally not included by the Magic Union.But whoever said this was actually a great magician, so these words that made people laugh were also spread to the magic unions in every town.

But Borg didn’t expect that, not long ago, he felt that these things were useless and would only take up space in the library, but now he suddenly felt that the truth might be written on it, and the fate of life had to be written. It's really amazing to say the least.

The books in the library are all placed on the shelves by category, and Borg can’t remember exactly where this book is placed. He can only look around in the hall first, trying to find the place where this book is probably placed. The bookshelf of the book, find the approximate location of the book storage.

It was at this moment that his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a figure that seemed out of place with the others around him.

Unlike all the other wizards in the library, she stood there completely clean of anything else.The thin translucent thread that covered the sky and the sun and appeared on everyone's body was the only one that made an exception on her body.

The last bit of luck in Borg's heart was broken, and he didn't need to look for any more books now. The magician who appeared in front of him was the "true counterexample" before him.

The only people who can appear in the library of the magic guild are magicians, and it is simply nonsense to say that a magician has no magic power and cannot obtain magic from the "source of magic" like other magicians.

...Although he didn't realize what went wrong, did his magic go wrong in the end?

But if there was something wrong with his magic, what were those threads that wrapped around everyone? !What is the difference between the magician in front of me and others, which can make her the only exception seen so far? !

For a while, Borg's mind became a little confused.

His eyes stared forward blankly, fixed on the other party for a long time and absentmindedly, so that when the magician he was watching realized that something was wrong and turned his head to look over, he didn't realize that the other party had already found out. Own.

"Hello, do you need my help?" Different from the respectful and humble tone of other townspeople when they called "Master Borg", the magician who asked was calm and polite. After the opening sentence, it seemed that she was just waiting for the other party to issue her a task.

Seeing the other party walking straight in front of him and asking such a question, Borg, who couldn't pretend he didn't see it, could only lift his spirits, smiled reluctantly and said, "No, I'm fine."

"...Thank you for your concern." Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him, he suppressed the urge to ask and thanked him.

Of course, if he can see the IDs that only players can see, and see the four words "ellipse is not circle", he must be able to realize that the person standing in front of him is an acquaintance, and he can speak less. If you are restrained, maybe now you can really ask the question directly.

You know, he was able to make up his mind to study these at the beginning, thanks to the unexpected conversation with Oval Feiyuan.Although the face has changed now, the person is still the same person.

"Really..." Oval Feiyuan looked at the great magician in front of him, recalling that the other party had been staring at him just now, as if it had triggered some mission plot, as if he had some secret words to say to her alone, silent After a while, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Then may I ask, do you know the ruins of the fallen?"

A few days ago, after the group of players who came back from the Forest of Silence completed the task of helping the God of Nature to deliver magic crystals to Gu Ye, they once again got the next stage of "Going to the Fallen Ruins" from Gu Ye. Task.

There is no relevant reminder in the task bar, and players can only use their own methods to ask around for information about the next stage of the task.

Seeing that he didn't get any relevant news after asking all the NPCs he was still familiar with, Jin thought of his own sister who had plunged into the library of the Magic Union.With the idea that maybe the news might appear in the book, he also tried to ask if Oval Feiyuan had seen the relevant content of the fallen ruins in the book.

Although the ellipse was not a circle at the time to indicate that she didn't know about it, the hidden mission and the strange place name still left an impression in her heart.

Now seeing an NPC in the library standing silently staring at her, speaking with a hint of concealment, it seems that there is some important news hidden in the words, which makes the oval not round. In an instant, he thought of the hidden mission on the side of gold that seemed to have no breakthrough so far, and asked such a question with the idea of ​​trying it out.

... However, since she, a player who seems to have nothing to do with the mission other than providing the internal combustion engine map, may not be able to ask anything in the end, she decided to cut off the face of the NPC in front of her now, and let the gold single Bian came over to ask questions.

"What is the fallen relic..." Borg was stunned for a while, his chaotic and uncontrollable thinking made him even answer in a dull voice at this time, "I seem to have a little impression."

Ellipse Feiyuan didn't expect that she could actually ask something. She continued to ask: "Then can you tell us in detail, what is that fallen relic?"

Borg thought for a moment, and it was really hard for him to concentrate when he could see the fine silk thread. He couldn't think of where he saw this word for a while.

He shook his head: "Sorry, I really don't have any impression of these."

"Okay." Oval Feiyuan stopped asking after hearing the words.

She stopped talking, thinking that she would tell the gold unilaterally when she was free. Presumably, her brother who participated in the whole mission must be able to ask more questions than she, a player who only provided technical support. .

……

At night, the great magic Borg, who was still troubled by what these mysterious thin threads were, had no intention of going to sleep at all.

Even if there may be problems with his magic, it can't play the role of allowing him to see the "origin of magic" as he expected, but under the operation of magic, since some unusual exception suddenly appeared, it must be There are specific reasons in it.

With this thought in mind, and with the secret uneasiness in his heart, he checked the magic circle he had drawn again.

And this final inspection result and the dozen or so verifications he had done before got the same answer again——

There is no problem with this magic circle.

Borg, who got the same answer, was extremely irritable, and his patience was completely exhausted.This made him look a little more indifferent in his actions when he picked up the research notes and flipped through the materials left by the great magician.

There are only three great magicians in Columnar, and Borg is the only one who has read these books.Because not many people have read this book, the pages are still very new, and he was a little more impetuous when turning the pages of the book than before. Under his carelessness, he turned a few pages together directly past.

Borg glanced at the content above, thinking that it would be related to the magic research he expected, but in the end he found that it was full of crazy ravings left by the writer after he fell into madness.

These small and inexplicable words are useless to him, no matter before or in the future, he will definitely not have the intention to study these sentences carefully.

Just as he was about to turn the book back to the research notes with research value in the front, his eyes fell uncontrollably on the "transparent silk thread" written on the page.

…Maybe it was because he was thinking about those thin lines extending from himself all day today, so that he just glanced at what was written on it, and finally saw this word all at once.

After reading the content with dispensable thoughts, Borg finally saw that passage clearly.

[I saw the transparent threads greedily drag the crystals from their dying bodies and offer them to their lord.

I saw the twisted and entwined leeches fall from the god's throne, and finally landed on the ground to parasitize everyone's lungs.

I saw the blood and flesh of the two-legged sheep dripping all over the dining table, and when I was dying, I still knelt down to thank the butcher unconsciously and piously.

I found that we have long been in the abyss, living in a nightmare...]

The following words were too scribbled, and Borg couldn't make out them.But even the words he could recognize, the words and sentences left by the great magician after he fell into inexplicable madness and despair, he couldn't understand the content.

And the only thing he could barely understand was perhaps the first sentence.

But "the magic crystal is dragged out of the body"?How can this be? !

You must know that in history, there will be no magic crystals in the bodies of humans and monsters, which can almost be regarded as a recognized fact.

—He was indeed crazy.

Borg wanted to laugh, but for some reason, the corners of his mouth froze, and finally he couldn't laugh.

The uneasiness in his heart was getting heavier and heavier, he turned the pages back, and looked at the words that were useless to him before, and seemed to be floating and chaotic words in a dream.

……

Outside of the game, in the research institute, the current owner of the account of Shushan woke up and began to study the books in the library of the Magic Union with his colleagues outside the game. content.

It may be that he is different from other colleagues outside the game. After staying in the game for a long time, after successfully entering the magic union through the magic test, he also learned a few magics that are not there.

Seeing that the information he cut out not only contained game background information, but somehow a water magic was also mixed in, Shushan sat and read while subconsciously focusing on drawing the magic circle.

A water polo suddenly appeared out of thin air, and after taking shape, it hit the face of a colleague next to him with a "click".

The colleague turned his head: "You are crazy, you still make such jokes during working hours?!"

Shushan:? ? ?

Shushan looked confused: "...Ah? What kind of joke?"

……

Half an hour later, after seeing the problem from the surveillance, Shushan was taken for a full-body examination.

From the last CT scan, it can be seen that a foreign object the size of a shirt button appeared in his chest, which could be ignored without paying attention.

It doesn't look like a tumor in shape, but it looks like a magic crystal that both NPCs and players can often touch in the game.
