Chapter 312 Digging the pit

"Big question?"

When Daniel heard Gao Wen's words, his first reaction was that he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the things that were revealed on the table.

It seems to be just ordinary paper, and the booklets are also the simplest and cheapest. They neither stick gold foil on the book cover nor use high-quality calfskin to make covers - to be honest, this is the first time he has seen such a casual book.

"Let's start, all the information is here, how much you can do," Gao Wen glanced at the old master, then changed into a more comfortable position on the chair, "I will judge whether you really meet my requirements based on your performance."

The old master suddenly realized that this was a test. When he saw Gao Wen's calm appearance, he felt a bell in his heart.

Then, he looked at the paper with the title and opened the books marked "reference materials"...

Gao Wen watched silently, and at the same time he also divided part of his energy to pay attention to the movements of the spiritual network. On the one hand, he monitored whether someone was paying attention to this secret space, and on the other hand, he continued to analyze the network architecture of the Eternal Sleeper and learn their mysterious knowledge.

He was not in a hurry at all, because he had confirmed that in this space located in the middle of the network, the flow of time was slower than in the Dream City. He had already told Amber to take care of him in the real world, so he could do it for several days and nights of papers by himself.

Daniel found that he could not guess what this "outdoor wanderer" was thinking, but for self-protection, he chose to obey the other party's request, but when he focused on those so-called "big questions", a ridiculous feeling could not help but come to his mind.

He also thought that the "test" raised by the wanderers outside the domain would be something even more terrifying and weird. Those papers might contain knowledge involving the field of secret blasphemy, and they might depict insane magic circles and symbols. He had to save his life in the face of these deadly things, but he did not expect that the first test he saw was just a pure mathematical problem, and it was the simplest type, just add, subtract, multiply and divide a few numbers.

What kind of test is this?

The old mage felt strange in his heart, but he did not dare to question it. Instead, he lowered his head and completed the calculation easily, and wrote the result: As a mage, basic mathematical ability is his compulsory course.

Then he looked at the next question, which seemed to have a little complexity and began to be linked to practical applications: calculating the volume changes and density changes of a certain potion before and after distillation...

But it's nothing difficult, his apprentices will do it.

Next question, calculate the burning time of a magic circle when running at full load...

Next question, calculate the area of ​​a strange figure - this figure is composed of a series of circles, triangles and rectangles.

Next question, calculate the maximum theoretical interference value m that a rune domain can withstand on a specific magic material... What is the rune domain? What is the interference value m?

Daniel raised his head blankly, but before he asked, Gao Wen had already pointed to the book "References" next to him in silence.

The old mage wiped the sweat that began to seep from his forehead, opened the book and studied it carefully.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his youth, and to the years when he was learning magic with his mentor in the mage tower.

No, he is more nervous and harder than he was then!

He lowered his head, wishing to stuff his head into the pages. He tried all his imagination and understanding to learn those knowledge, memorize those formulas, and think about their correspondence with the magic circles in reality. Whenever he finally understood a part of it, he immediately tried to use it on those questions and then - face the next more difficult problem.

Those things became increasingly incredible, and became more and more out of the intuitive feeling of life. At the beginning, Daniel just didn't understand the meaning of the question, but he had all the mathematical and scientific calculation skills needed to solve the problem. As long as he carefully read the explanation in the reference materials, he could solve the problem, but gradually, he no longer knew the formulas and symbols used for calculations!

Sweat began to flow down Daniel's face, and his breathing became more and more difficult.

This is indeed a test, and it is simply a test of the devil...

Daniel's heart beat faster and faster, and he felt that this was probably a malicious punishment from the "outsider wanderer", a punishment for his previous "small moves", but at this moment, he suddenly heard Gao Wen's voice coming from the side:

“It’s almost done here.”

He raised his head and saw Gao Wen snap his fingers gently. The half-exam papers and half-examples on the table disappeared.

"The test... is over?" The old mage looked at Gao Wen with some disbelief, "I... haven't finished..."

The old master wanted to ask at this time: Will you die if you haven’t finished writing the question? Will you be cut off if you don’t have detailed problems?

"Not bad, better than I thought," said Gao Wen smiled and let Daniel relax. "I didn't expect you to see them clearly and make them all. I just wanted to see your mathematical foundation and your ability to accept new knowledge. You surprised me - I thought that an elderly traditional wizard like you would be someone whose thinking has begun to become rigid and has difficulty learning new knowledge."

Daniel sighed silently in his heart: It is indeed difficult to accept new knowledge when he is old... But who has no potential at the critical moment of life and death!

"This is one of the rewards I want to give you, I promised," Gao Wen continued with a smile, "knowledge is enough to keep you moving forward on the road to exploring the truth."

Daniel was stunned. For a short period of time, he failed to associate those things with the word "reward".

But then, he recalled what he saw in the reference materials.

Those knowledge used to calculate rune efficiency, rune interference, and calculate array stability, those clear rune drawing codes, those formulas and theorems that are incredibly concise and elegant...

If those things are real, if those things are not just "difficulties" designed to toss him...

Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he saw the old mage's expression change.

When Ravenkes held those knowledge, he only received unreasonable cruel punishment and wanton trampling from the mentor, but when an "unnamed extraterritorial wanderer" came to another traditional mage with the same knowledge, he received awe.

He tapped the table gently, aroused Daniel's attention, and said lightly: "Since you have the ability to learn these, I will give you some other knowledge next, which is not for you alone."

In the curious sight of the old mage Daniel, Gao Wen created two not very thick books out of thin air and placed them on the table.

After getting Gao Wen's approval, Daniel opened them impatiently.

The first book has a line of big words written on the cover:

"Information Security and Network Architecture-Eternal Sleeper Special Edition"

"You learn the things above slowly. If you don't understand, I can teach you. I want you to spread this knowledge in your own name in the spiritual network and among the believers of the Eternal Sleeping. In this process, you will inevitably have countless opportunities to promote your level in the sect. You can regard this "promotion" as the second reward for you. I will tell you in detail about the specific communication method and degree of communication."

Daniel widened his eyes and stared at Gao Wen in a daze.

However, Gao Wen did not explain on the spot, but signaled the other party to continue watching.

The second book also has a line of big words on the cover:

"Magic Network Technology-Tifeng Special Edition"

"You must also learn the things above, but I believe that as a great magician, you will be easier to learn this than to learn the "Information Security". I will tell you how to apply the knowledge above in the real world bit by bit, but you must temporarily control their spread - until I give you instructions, you can publish them."

Daniel's eyes widened.

Gao Wen smiled and looked at the old mage in front of him: "Are you curious about my purpose?"

Daniel swallowed, he was not stupid - if these things were taken out by some unknown person, he might have criticized them and looked down upon them, but these things were taken out by "outdoors", so he immediately looked at the content recorded in the two books with the highest attention and vigilance, and immediately saw the great value and power contained in these knowledge.

He believed that if the content written at the beginning of these two books was not exaggerated, then they would be enough to change the entire Eternal Sleeper Order and the entire Tifeng!

But they were taken out by "outdoors"...

So... the Eternal Midwitz Cult and Tifeng may also be doomed...

However, he could not see what the deadly "poison" in these two pieces of knowledge was - he could only see their sweetness and temptation.

Daniel couldn't help but remember the information about "Gowen Cecil" that he saw in the spiritual network.

After the resurrection of that ancient hero, he did not compete for power and profit with the contemporary Ansu nobles, nor did he cause any storm in the palace. Instead, he led a group of people to the southern border of Ansu and began to build a town development territory... It is said that in that newly established land, all kinds of new things appeared every day.

New things mean new knowledge.

The roamers from outside the territory will "jump" between worlds. Every time they come to a world, what He does is different. Sometimes it brings destruction, sometimes it brings salvation, and sometimes it brings change... He has already ignited the "fire" in Ansu himself, and now He will bring knowledge through his own hands to the Eternal Sleeping Church and Tifeng...

So this time the "outdoor wanderer" is to spread knowledge?

Halfway through thinking, Daniel immediately sounded the alarm in his heart: You can't draw conclusions so quickly. The wanderers outside the domain are a kind of inhuman existence. God knows what logic and rules they have in their behavior!

Gao Wen knew what Daniel would think without guessing, so he did not let the other party continue to make up for it, but said bluntly: "This knowledge is a precious treasure, and they are enough to benefit the recipient, but I can tell you directly that I left the 'key' in it.

“At some point, I will charge the price of this knowledge through the ‘key’, and the price I will charge the price of the benefit they bring.

“As I said at the beginning, I follow the equivalent exchange very much.”

Govin paused, then looked into Daniel's eyes: "Do you remember the question I asked you at the beginning? If another greater redemption was placed before you, would you betray the Sleeper? Now add another one - how much is your loyalty to Tiphon?"
