The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 210 The Crisis of the Astrology School
"Wendsor, I have never heard of this territory before, it looks like an unknown rural place."

Benson came to Windsor several times, and saw the port and town all made of wood.

A stone building like a church, even the smallest one, would take more than ten years to build. Windsor's overall architectural style reveals the atmosphere of a nouveau riche with a weak history and culture.

"It's been a long time since I walked such a simple dirt path. Can such a magical discovery really be born in such a place?"

All the industrial facilities in the territory are protected by special workshops. Master Benson, who can't see anything, naturally cannot see the experimental environment here, and can only sense the extraordinary magical power of the territory.

"That's interesting."

Generally speaking, only places where magical creations are frequently used will be full of strong magical atmosphere, such as the imperial capital and Ivan, the city of sages.

Some commercial streets that sell magic items will also have this special smell.

As soon as he got off the boat, Benson began to look for the source of this power.

"It's just around me, those auras, so it's like that, the lord here quite likes to arm his men with magic equipment."

Benson saw that the house rats responsible for maintaining the port were holding a strange iron pipe in their hands and a short knife pinned to their waists.

There is a mechanism exuding magic power on the iron pipe. An exposed gem and a magic crystal wrapped in a special component have never seen such a strange combination.

Benson knew that there was a high probability that the existence of gemstones was to stimulate some kind of magic powered by magic crystals, but what kind of spell could turn an ugly iron pipe into a weapon?

Before that, he had only seen imperial crossbowmen who were issued with enchanted crossbows. Those crossbows were all enchanted in advance and did not use such a complicated launching mechanism.

Having said that, the curious Benson walked up to a house mouse with a certain air.

"Guard, can you show me your weapon?"

Generally speaking, for a mage like him who wears a professor's robe from the Academy of Truth, most people are willing to give face. After all, no one wants to provoke a big shot someday.

But to Benson's surprise, the house rats just looked at each other after hearing this request, and after confirming that they had met a fool, they pointed their guns at this annoying guy.

"Stand back immediately! Keep your distance!"

The Rats are all top country bumpkins, and some signs are not within their cognition range at all, and Ickert has specially ordered to receive outsiders well, but also to remain vigilant.

"Sentinels are sacred." Every Ratman standing guard has heard this sentence. If they were not afraid of offending people too much, they would most likely scold them directly instead of driving away according to the regulations like they are now.

"Please get out of here, or we'll shoot you!"

The muzzle of the black hole was pointed directly at Benson, and the stern look of the internal affairs rats made Benson think of retreating.

High-level mages also have airs, but facing the weapons held by the Ratmen, Benson, who doesn't know the attack principle, is still at risk of overturning.

After all, the magician's physical strength is just like that, and it is still necessary to avoid close encounters with the enemy as much as possible.

"Okay, okay, you are really competent guards. If you want me to say that you are much more reliable than those gangs of wine and rice in the imperial capital."

Benson stepped back wisely, and the Housekeeping Rat finally put away his gun, but the other Ratmen present also kept a close eye on Benson and his party.

After getting rid of the guards, Benson approached the adventurer to inquire again. People looked at his clothes and patiently answered his doubts.

"We don't know how that thing works. It's just that when the mice buckle the mechanism, there will be a deafening explosion in an instant, and then a person will follow the sound and fall."

"Just a few days ago, a robber robbed in public. That's how he died."

After listening to the adventurer's narration, not only did Benson fail to understand the principle of the "gun", but he became even more suspicious.

"Did you shoot the condensed force magic to knock down the enemy? Or fired a small fireball? But it's not right. I've never heard of anyone whose fireball is so fast that you can only see blue flames at the muzzle of the gun."

The reason why the two balls landed at the same time has not been clarified, and Benson has fallen into an even bigger mystery.

He is a dignified high-ranking force mage and an in-service professor at the Astrology Tower of the School of Truth, but he looks like a country bumpkin here.

"There must be a secret hidden here that I don't know."

Thinking this way, Benson drove towards the student's residence.

It was a small local hotel.

"tutor."

Benson had just arrived at the hotel, before he had time to inquire about the exact location of the room, he saw his student Lani walking down the stairs.

"Things are serious."

Lani said seriously, the whole person seemed a little unsettled.

"I understand the seriousness of the matter. This lord's experiment has shaken the foundation of our astrology. All along, the world model we tried to describe has collapsed because of these two small balls!"

Benson said in a low voice, maybe Ickert himself had no intentions, but the facts he proved undoubtedly pushed the entire school of magic to the forefront!
"Those old things in the imperial capital have already started to attack us, and I don't know how many people have done this experiment, and this verification is really too simple!

Rani!My good apprentice!This is a disaster! "

"Mentor, of course I know this is a disaster!"

Lani's expression suddenly became grim, and the staff in her hand was already glowing.

In the world of magic, not only the truth can convince everything, but also a big fist.

"Up to now, the only way we can go is to discuss the Dao with him."

Lani's appearance of going to do it at the slightest disagreement really shocked old Benson.

He himself was somewhat defeated by the truth, but he did not expect his apprentice to be so persistent in his "road confidence".

"Do not."

Benson advised Lani.

"We should go and ask him about magic knowledge. If his theory is perfect enough, we will reassign immediately!"

"what!"

When Lani heard that the mentor had said such words, she was so shocked that she pointed her staff at Benson.

"Are you going to betray the astrological sage?"

"Of course this is not betrayal, but as mages, we must have flexible thinking."

Benson quietly moved away from Lani's staff, trying to calm her down.

"If a theory is wrong, then no matter how we cover it up, we will not be able to open up our own future."

"However, Master Veroson has become a sage after all."

"That's because he believed in the theory too much."

Benson said ruthlessly, as long as spiritual power is the prerequisite for cultivation, it is not difficult to become a powerful mage.

But more importantly, although the theories of the Astrology School can explain some of the facts, there are still a lot of fatal loopholes, which is a problem that exists in all schools of magic.

"Master Veroson is actually weakening. He has been looking for a way out for this theory for more than 50 years. He wants to perfect it, but the more he researches, the less confident he becomes.

It's a bit hard to say, but I'm actually the same.

We fear that our efforts will be overthrown, but also long for a more comprehensive theory to show us the way. "
