The Master’s Friendship Rules

Page 276

“Pah!” Xiaobai rolled his eyes. “Aren’t dry food and cookies the same thing? Starch is the bad guy!”

Elizabeth smiled and said, “So when we deal with the Mind Flayer tomorrow, we’ll have an extra chance of winning?”

Elizabeth said proudly, “I’ve done it!”

“Well done.” Wang put away the Mind Barrier Staff in his hand and began to search through the pile of books. “What we are looking for is a diary or notebook. There may be clues in the research notes.”

Franka: “Ahhh, I want to help, I’m so reluctant!”

Xiaobai looked at Wang: “You didn’t complain, what a surprise!”

“Thank you for your help!” Wang turned back.

“The architects of this plane should all understand this.”

Nini: “Maybe it’s a bread knife that can turn ordinary bread into butter bread?”

Nini: “I understand that too. After all, I have already learned most of Euclidean geometry.”

Elizabeth: “What is Euclidean geometry?”

Just as Nini was about to answer, Wang shouted, “Done! Now we can start interpreting the contents of the log!”

Chapter 310 The Final Game

Wang began to interpret the log: “The first paragraph is: ‘Today’s experiment has no results. I already know the time stop spell very well, but I still can’t make any further progress. I even began to doubt whether eternity really exists.'”

Xiao Bai: “It sounds like an old wizard who is about to die is making his last struggle.”

Nini was amazed: “It turns out that elves can also feel the preciousness of time.”

Xiaobai: “Don’t you feel that way?”

Nini nodded: “Well, I always feel that there is plenty of time and I can live my life leisurely. It was only after becoming a teacher’s student that I was forced to cherish time.”

“You have completely mastered the wisdom of being annoying people unconsciously.” Xiaobai was amazed.

Werewolves, like humans, are short-lived. Moreover, because they are very strong when they are young, they overdraw their lifespan to a certain extent. Therefore, except for a few particularly long-lived individuals, they all have shorter lifespans than humans.

While Xiaobai was complaining about Nini, Wang continued to read the log: “‘Today is the thousandth time I have cast Time Stop. Three years have passed and I have not gained anything from casting this spell. It seems that the so-called stupid method does not always work. Where is eternity?’

“‘When I was young, I met a traveler who told me that time and space are the same thing. He used the example of time stopping, saying that when time stops, I can take the opportunity to cross a space, which is equivalent to converting time into space. At that time, I thought he was sophistry, and I tried my best to argue with him.’

“‘Looking back now, I was the fool. I stopped time so many times and used the time I stopped to move so many distances, but I didn’t realize anything.’

A wizard who specializes in a school usually has to choose two opposing schools. Wang is a wizard of the prophecy school, and the characteristics of the school require him to only choose one opposing school.

He continued reading: “‘The visitor told me some unheard-of things. My first reaction was that he was lying and deceiving me. But… I have already come to this point. What else can I lose? I might as well believe him this time.'”

Elizabeth: “How did you get infected by the king and become so interested in the baby?”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. I meant that matter is like waves. It can diffract and interfere. As long as the frequencies are staggered, we can even coexist peacefully. For example, if Elizabeth and I have different frequencies of matter waves, we will pass through each other.

“Of course, there is a small chance that unstable interference may occur in this situation. But most of the time we are fine.

Xiao Bai: “So the time stop on that ring is also fake? It’s just that the caster is moving super fast?”

“‘What do you mean by length contraction and time slowness? I didn’t observe that at all.'”

The king’s attention was entirely on the diary in his hand.

“Well, yes, I’m not smart enough. Even with the wisdom headband on, I still can’t figure out the reason. Although I understand all the formulas, I know how they are derived, and I also understand the logic behind them… at least on the surface.” Wang shook his head and sighed.

Xiaobai: “The ring! Please tell me he left the ring in the tower!”

“Even if you find another planeswalker’s research log and study it for hundreds or thousands of years, it will be useless because other people’s paths belong only to them and are of no use to you.”

Xiaobai: “So you are not smart enough?”

Wang: “The next few pages are used for calculations. He seems to be trying to understand blackbody radiation. But… he is missing too many courses. He doesn’t even have the basic mathematical tools.”

“After all, the gaps between planes are not so easy to cross. Only nine-ring spells can cross the gaps.”

“After all, it’s a treasure!”

“‘The enchantment of the ring was successful. This ring can stop time once a day. It is undoubtedly a top-level magical equipment, and each time the time is stopped, it lasts up to ten seconds! But I still know nothing about this spell, the relationship between time and space, and eternity.'”

Wang: “No, because I understand the principle. But how should I put it? I have the same feeling as the author of this coded diary. It is mainly from the theory of relativity that physics has entered the field of counterintuitiveness, and quantum physics is even more so. Apart from other things, quantum physics believes that matter is a kind of wave. Can you imagine it?”

Nini: “What about the facts?”

“Probably.” Wang was shocked.

The king suddenly stopped and looked at the log with a frown.

Wang: “Probably.”

Marika: “This wizard only has one ninth-ring spell slot per day. Among the ninth-ring wizards, he is also a rookie.”

Wang: “No, it’s mainly fat… It’s not important. I mean the vibration there just now. It’s a mechanical wave. But can you imagine that I, you, and Xiaobai are all waves, and all objects in the world are waves?”

When Wang read this, Xiaobai couldn’t help interrupting him: “What does it mean to shrink the ruler and slow down the clock? Do you understand?”

Wang: “Of course I understand.”

“As long as you are smart enough and can figure out the truth, you will be able to apply it to other situations and reach the top in one go. Idealism is like a blind man touching an elephant. Everyone will eventually figure it out in a different way.

“There are many spells that utilize this principle, the most typical of which is the labyrinth spell. From a materialistic perspective, the labyrinth spell is about shifting the frequency of the subject’s material waves, but it does not actually send the subject to another plane.

Xiaobai asked on behalf of everyone: “What is a wave?”

He continued reading: “‘Today I discovered that everything I did before was in vain. A strange visitor who visited my wizard tower easily used a more powerful time magic. It turned out that my time stop was fake, a counterfeit. Its principle was just to accelerate the speed of human beings to the extreme, as if time had stopped for these ten seconds.'”

The king who had been talking incessantly just now suddenly became deflated.

King: “Yes, Elzam can cast more than one ninth-level spell a day. Of course, I guess one of his spell slots is given by his school specialization.”

Wang: “I don’t understand. This thing is very counterintuitive, and I can’t help it. I don’t even know how my teacher and others achieved eternity without this knowledge. Maybe it’s easier for the idealist side to achieve eternity than the materialist side.

Nini suddenly realized: “That’s why the teacher asked me to learn math!”

After reading this, Wang paused and said, “Well, it’s not surprising.”

Xiaobai: “Then you can stop time?”

“It’s a wave. When you throw a stone into the water, there will be ripples. Ripples are a kind of wave.” Wang turned his head to look at Elizabeth, grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard, then pointed at her secondary sexual characteristics and said, “This is also a kind of wave, a mechanical wave.”

“But old man – my teacher said that materialism is actually simpler, because the knowledge is all here, no matter who comes to get it, it’s all the same knowledge.

Then he opposed the protection system.

Elizabeth asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“Hahaha, of course. Anyway, I’ve given up on gaining eternity. If you can’t understand something, I can’t understand it either. Expose it!”

Wang: “Yes! You are so smart!”

Wang Yitong kept talking, and Xiaobai nodded repeatedly: “Ah, so that’s how it is~ I understand~ So I am a wave, you are also a wave, and Dabo is also a wave. We are all at the same frequency, so we can bo-yo-bo-yo! Right?”

Xiao Bai kicked the table leg: “According to what you said, this is also a mechanical wave.”

Wang nodded and continued to interpret: “‘Today I started to lose my hair. As an elf, I started to lose my hair. It was unbelievable. I always thought that this day was still far away. Looking at the white hair falling by the pool, I decided to stop time again today.'”

Common school mages do not have as many spell slots as specialized mages, but correspondingly they do not need to choose an opposing school and can use spells from all schools.

Elizabeth was shocked: “It’s meat! This is made of meat!”

Marika came out to smooth things over: “Let’s read the log first.”

Nini: “So the owner of this diary is a magician of the common school?”

Wang frowned. “I don’t understand. I can deduce the formulas. I understand them mathematically!”

Wang lowered his head and continued to interpret the log: “‘Ten days have passed since I last wrote a log, and I still have nothing to show for it. I thought that by creating a ring that could permanently stop the time spell, I would be able to deepen my understanding of the spell, but I was wrong again.’

Wang: “Yes.”

He flipped through several pages and began to read again: “‘Today I am bald. Elves usually do not wait until they are bald before heading to Miner Harbor to start the last voyage of their lives. We will return to our original homeland and sleep there forever. No one knows where our homeland is, but we only know that the elves who have gone out to sea have never returned.’

“‘It’s time for me too, but I’m going to walk slowly, see the places I’ve been in my life, and place a flower in front of the bronze statues of those old friends. It’s time. Stranger who is reading this diary at this moment, I put my most precious treasure behind the wall. This is my last game with you.'”

Chapter 311: The Planeswalker Apprentice’s Way to Break Through

Wang took the diary and walked to the gate.

Xiao Bai complained: “We just picked up logs today. One moment we learned about the Blasphemers, and the next we learned about the dying story of a poor old elf. It seems like we are listening to a story session.”

Wang reminded him, “Don’t forget that we just escaped from a fortress filled with thousands of enemies.”

“Oh yeah, we did run for our lives for a while.” Xiaobai held his head with both hands, “I’m a little tired thinking about this, I’m going to sleep.”

Wang: “Go to sleep.”

Xiao Bai: “Tell me how you plan to break the trap. I’ll just treat it as a bedtime story. I don’t understand it anyway.”

Wang smiled.

In fact, Xiaobai is considered smart in the team, she just doesn’t want to study.

After all, not everyone can learn math, physics and chemistry. At least a druid who is close to nature cannot learn them, even though her IQ is high enough.

Wang: “You asked the guest a question and promised him a reward if he answered it correctly, but you don’t know the answer to the question, so how can you know if the guest is right?”

Xiaobai looked at Wang: “I guess you definitely know.”

The king paused and cursed, “So that’s what’s going on. This guy is on par with Elzam.”

Wang slammed the table.

Keep killing it until you find and destroy his phylactery.

Wang: “Yes, I have deciphered the six symbols on the wall. Four of them translate to the universal language ‘time’.”

Wang: “But you still have one less ring than me. Ah~ah~three rings, you have one less ring than the fourth ring…”

Xiaobai: “Time also stops in the dimensional bag. Is that strange? Isn’t it just like a big dimensional bag?”

Marika was shocked: “The starting point and the end point of the puzzle are both the same brick, a Möbius strip?”

The king assessed the strength of the Adamantine Golem and said to Xiao Bai, “Go down and pick up Flint and Gotrek right now.”

He had just felt the rise and fall of his belly when Xiao Bailiu slapped his hand away like a mosquito, then scratched his belly hard, lifting up his clothes.

“No,” Wang stopped Xiaobai, “The remaining two symbols can express the meaning of question. When combined on the wall, they can form ‘time, question mark’.”
