Chapter 109 E=1.66

Under Gao Wen and Hetty's questioning, Jenny finally stopped silent. The story about this note and its several masters was presented to people for the first time. Gao Wen also learned more about the wild mage.

The first owner of the note was indeed the wild mage, but he still did not leave his name in this note. Jenny only knew that he was a down-and-out, strange and excluded senior. The wild mage came from the Violet Kingdom in the north of the mainland. He was once a member of the "Secret Dharma Assembly" of the largest human mage organization. But as Gao Wen knew, he was low-powered and excluded. His research was a rebellious in the eyes of the orthodox mage, so his life was extremely depressed and eventually left the secret Dharma Assembly to heal his daughter and entered Ansu territory. The notes that Jenny obtained were one of the manuscripts that the wild mage had lost in his early years. If that was right, he sold it to an wizard in the Ansu Kingdom to raise travel expenses.

Maybe I only sold three copper plates, or maybe I was worthless, just serving as a gift for a bunch of books and notes.

The situation of its second master is not very strong. From the lines of the notes, it can be seen that the wizard was also conducting a "deviant" study. The reason for his research is that his personal strength is low and there is no hope of improvement.

A mage who had difficulty in making progress in magic and runes hoped to help him explore the reality of this world by logic and mathematics. The wild mage's research on the universality and potential laws of runes lit up a guide light for him, allowing him to vaguely grasp the path of exploring the mysteries of magic even without the help of powerful magic and without personal strength. However, the second researcher did not go far on this road.

Perhaps to raise the cost of doing research, or perhaps to verify a piece of data obtained from the notes, the unknown wizard died during an expedition, and the few assets he left behind were quickly divided up, and this precious note fell into the hands of Jenny's mentor.

But Jenny's mentor did not become the owner of this note, because the "orthodox mentor" was extremely disdainful of this note. He did not think that the two low-level mages could reveal any truth by writing a lot of formulas on paper, and believed that the second master of the notes lost his life in an adventure because he believed in the nonsense on the waste paper. The poor man who died in the ruins proved the fallacy of the theory in the notes.

So the instructor threw away the notes, threw them into the garbage dump outside the Mage Tower and was picked up by his "apprentice" Raven Keith.

And this so-called "apprentice" is actually the slave of the great magician.

This phenomenon is very common among orthodox magicians. Their apprentices are usually divided into two types: real apprentices and non-human apprentices. The former is a person with high magical talent, either from noble blood, while the latter is just an apprentice in the mage tower, but is actually used as a slave and experimental material. Ravenketh belongs to the latter.

Because of his poor magical talent and not a famous family, Ravenkes has never been valued in the mage tower. Although he has extremely high talent in mathematics and logic, he is called "low-powered" and "freak" by everyone in the mage tower because of his poor casting level and rune sensing ability. The great magician barely taught Ravenkes some introductory knowledge, and then used cheap potions and rituals with huge sequelae to force him to generate a formal mage. Then he trained him in the way of cultivating rune masters, intending to let him take care of drawing magic circles and making props.

It was at that time that Ravenkes picked up notes and became the third owner of notes.

And it took a few more years after that, Jenny met Lavenketh.

Unlike most "talented people" who can enter the Mage Tower, Jenny's background is even more humble and low-key. She was not even selected into the Mage's Slave: This thin girl comes from a poor country far from the kings. Her family has never dealt with extraordinary people for generations, let alone possessing the "noble bloodline of a Mage".

She was able to enter the Mage Tower because her hometown encountered a famine and her family was about to starve to death. At that time, her "mentor" happened to pass by her hometown village and wanted to "be kind and exchange something for the local hungry people with the food in her hands."

Jenny clearly remembered that it was a windless but very cold night. Her parents gathered the children together and drew a lottery, winning the lottery for her, who was only fourteen years old.

The next morning, she was pushed into the caravan of "Master Magician" and exchanged her family with enough food for life: two bags of wheat.

She still remembered that there were many things piled up in the caravan at that time: herbs I didn’t know, animal specimens, stones, metals, tree bark, a few children who looked numb and about the same age as hers…

The car was full of experimental materials.

The magician exchanged food for materials for experiments, and she was taken to the mage tower as experimental materials.

Afterwards, she met Ravenkes, a "apprentice" who was a slave of the mage but had a higher status than her in the mage.

Lavenkes is responsible for "feeding" the experimental materials.

The children who were brought over from the countryside were soon handy by the magician. Almost every two or three days, a child would be taken out. Some of them could come back alive, and some could not. Even those who came back alive quickly became crazy and extremely weak. Jenny had already realized her fate, but she did not run away.

Because Ravenkes reminds her every day: Never run away, it will be more terrible than death.

In this way, it was finally time for Jenny to be "in handy". She could no longer remember the exact passing of that day, because she was almost completely immersed in fear and chaos at that time, but luck favored her: when she was sent to the experimental magic circle, she was suddenly detected with a very weak magic affinity.

She actually has magical talent.

Due to her magical talent and her honest behavior before, Jenny saved her life and became one of the apprentices of the magician. She was also a "slave apprentice" with the same status as Ravenkes. She also got her surname: the magician casually gave her a surname "Perot". In the common human terms, this word means "Wheat" because she was bought by the magician with two bags of wheat at that time.

It was already a great blessing for Jenny, who was the experimental material, but in fact her situation still had not entered the light: she just changed from something to a "slave", and in many cases, there was actually not much difference between the two.

But at that time, Jenny didn't have much thought to think about these things. She was extremely grateful to be able to survive. Being able to read and read as a mage apprentice (although she was a slave apprentice) and learn magic was a good thing she had never thought about. She began to learn that knowledge hungrily, reading, literacy, identifying runes, and memorizing spells almost day and night. And soon she discovered that Lavenketh had a hobby and way of thinking similar to her...

They became friends and friends of age. Raven Keith excitedly showed the notes he treasured to Jenny, and told the incredible things in the notes, rooted in mathematics and logic. The two "apprentices" who were insignificant and had not received proper education from regular mages and mastered their own worldview based on them.

They were completely unaware of how unreasonable this kind of research method that relies on formulas and calculations to approach the truth is in the eyes of orthodox and wizards who believe in pursuing truth with their personal strength.

On the other side, Jenny's "mentor", the powerful magician, soon discovered that Jenny's magical talent was actually low and pitiful. This sick man crawled out of the experimental materials had only a little bit of magical ability. With her mental talent, she might only be able to master a few apprentice-level magic tricks in her life, and she was not able to rank the ranks of formal mages.

So he quickly stopped investing in Jenny and desperately wanted to recover the cost. He gave Jenny a bottle of potion and a magic circle drawing, asked Jenny to drink the potion, forcibly catalyze it into a first-level mage, and then began the practice of the rune master.

Raven Keith, who had already drunk the potion, privately stopped Jenny and gave a bold suggestion: Why not believe in the knowledge in notes, believe in the formulas derived from the knowledge of notes in daily life, and try to control those runes based on the help of spells but only mathematics and logic?

Jenny followed Lavenketh's advice and completed the reconstruction of the magic circle as an apprentice.

That is probably the first "calculated" magic array in the world.

But her "mentor" did not reward her for this, but was furious and soon found out that it was Ravenkes who was "making small moves". Then, he followed the clues and found out that the existence of the notes was the almost "betrayal" behavior that made him even more angry. He believed that a study note from a poor mage with a low power could actually bewitch his servants in his mage tower, which was a great insult to him.

The great magician was furious and prepared to destroy the notes and punish his two "apprentices", but at this time, Ravenkes stood up bravely for the first time and took the initiative to face the anger of his "mentor".

He received the punishment alone, and saved the notes and Jenny at the cost of one eye, a quarter of his soul and two tendons. He tried to convince the tyrannical great magician that keeping the notes and letting the stupid apprentice study notes is valuable. There might be a little something worth investing in the notes. He and Jenny could become such experimental subjects, making magic circles and runes in the way they were recorded in the notes. In this way, if they succeed, then all the results belong to the Great Magician. If they fail, the magician would only lose two experimental materials.

Jenny's mentor accepted this statement and allowed two bold apprentices to carry out this research, but he never gave up the constant ridicule and attack. He believed that the rune research made by those who could not control the advanced runes at all must be ridiculous, just as foolish as the serf guesses the king's menu. He has no ability to understand and control runes, but with several formulas, he guesses the power of those runes out of thin air. What is this ridiculous?

But no matter what, Ravenkes and Jenny were finally able to continue studying the content of the notes, and they soon discovered that different magic guide materials had an obvious "fault" problem in many properties such as magic conduction. This fault seems to divide all magic guide materials into two intervals, "positive and negative", and a mysterious constant affects the actual performance of the magic guide materials in these two intervals in the magic array. It turns out that various magic guide materials only affect the "output power" of the magic array, and the anti-interference stability of the magic array itself mainly depends on the rune arrangement logic, and the relationship with the magic guide materials is only affected by its positive and negative polarity and a constant...

They began to deduce this constant and gradually approached the final result, but on the eve of success, their mentor suddenly gave them a task.

Go to an out-of-control magic well and reset the rune array there.

This completely exceeds their rune master skills, and resetting the rune array of the magic well is not the rune master's specialty: this is the job of a formal mage.

But the instructor's order is absolute, and there is another sentence that comes with the order:

"Didn't you say that all runes can be put into your formula? Then go and take a look."

Ravenkes accepted this order and knew very well that the great magician had lost his patience because the latter was not a person who could tolerate his slaves to act freely, so he had no choice at all. Moreover, going to the Magic Well could also allow him to verify the most critical issue.

Jenny's memory was coming to an end, and her tone was already very calm, not as if she was talking about herself: "Before Mr. Ravenkes left, he told me that he would adjust the runes according to the first guess. If he came back alive, e would be equal to 1.29, and if he did not come back, e would be equal to 1.66."
