(Because I filled a hole, I was afraid you would say it was water, so I stayed up all night to write a big chapter. I will have a small burst today and tomorrow to finish this chapter as soon as possible. I feel like everyone doesn’t seem to read the Kingdom of Solcie very much.

Sigh. But in order to lay the groundwork, I have to stop at every place. The WCP in the Free Cities and the intelligence organization of the Kingdom of Solcie, and the next lawless land, and the Seven Shields Alliance, otherwise this volume would not be called the trend of changing times.)

Chapter 147: Rhine Discussion (First Update)

Although the Kingdom of Solcière is a magical country, the number of witches in the country far exceeds that of other countries, reaching an astonishing number of thousands.

But in front of tens of thousands of witches from the Magic Unification Association, the Kingdom of Solcie lost its pride.

Compared to the enthusiastic audience at the Magical Unification Association, the audience at the Solcie Kingdom was silent.

All the witches held their breath, not daring to breathe, for fear that any action they took would cause misunderstanding from the association.

The king, who was sitting at the guest seat at the main table, clenched his palms tightly, and was already sweating profusely under his gorgeous royal attire.

Although the Golden Witch had already told him that the Magic Unification Association looked down upon the Solcie Kingdom's wealth and simply wanted to give the kingdom a warning, the king was still a little frightened when he saw such a large scale event.

He had never expected that an ordinary academic exchange meeting would be able to gather eight legendary witches, with the president of the Magic Integration Association even present in person. This was a grand event that had not been held for many years, and it was no wonder that the audience was so enthusiastic and excited.

When Rhine entered the venue, all eyes were on him.

All the witches present, including those from the Solcie Kingdom camp, did not understand why the Magic Unification Association would send a male wizard to attend such an important academic exchange meeting.

Looking at the audience and the densely packed witches in the sky, Rhine was calm and composed, without any stage fright. He ignored everyone's gazes and walked straight to the center of the venue and sat down.

"Since this is an exchange meeting, let's not make the atmosphere so tense. Let's all sit down and chat."

After Natasha's guidance, Rhine's mentality changed a lot. Before this, he wanted to crush the opponent with absolute strength...but although it felt great, it was meaningless, and he didn't need to satisfy himself by pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face.

Since he is said to be the one leading the revolution of the times, why not take this opportunity to set off the wave of the times? Anyway, the skin is not expensive, and after attracting a wave of "firepower", he can change his skin and continue to wave.

Looking at the opposing debater who was still indifferent and solemn, Rhine spread his hands. "You can stand if you like."

"Before we officially begin, I will briefly introduce myself so that the spies of the major forces can report back to your masters. Otherwise, you will never find any information about me even if you die. Oh, the church may know something."

"I am the founder of the Magic Unification Association and the first president of the Magic Unification Association. That's it." Rhine made a "simple" self-introduction and began his deception.

"quiet!"

Just when the audience was about to burst into heated discussion, Natasha directly released the divine domain to silence everyone, making the entire venue extremely quiet.

"I know you may not believe it, but I don't need you to believe it. As long as someone believes it, that's enough."

"Since it's an exchange meeting, there must be a theme."

Rhine took out his magic wand and used magic power to write the four big words "Magic System" in the air.

"Today we will talk about the magic system of this world."

"Just like a bird can fly freely in the sky without understanding the principles of flight (aerodynamics), a magician can cast magic at will without understanding the nature of magic."

"This is because after thousands of years of development, the magic of the Penician continent has formed a fairly complete system. Although this complete system facilitates the practice of magicians, it also puts shackles on magicians."

"Student, can you tell me what the essence of magic is?"

Rhine randomly pointed at a top witch trainee on the field and asked.

"Me...me?" The apprentice witch who was pointed at by Rhine said in a panic.

"Yes, that's you. Don't be nervous, just tell us what you know."

"The essence of magic is to use the magic power in the body to drive the spell and then let the magic power in nature react with various elements to produce various reactions." The apprentice witch replied.

"Very good, then what do you think the essence of magic is?" Rhine pointed at another top magician and asked.

"The original magic power in our bodies can be controlled by human consciousness, but we cannot interfere with the magic power in nature. Therefore, the essence of magic is to use the controllable magic power in our bodies to interfere with the uncontrollable magic power in nature."

Although the boy who was called was a little flustered, he still pretended to be calm and answered Rhine's question.

"Do you think so too?" Rhine asked the remaining students.

Those who are sent by the Kingdom of Solcie to debate with Rhine are, without exception, the kingdom's top apprentice witches or wizards, with rich knowledge and solid foundation.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Rhine said with some disappointment: "Look, this is the consequence of being shackled."

"Did we say something wrong?" questioned an apprentice witch.

"Of course not, you are right." Rhine praised.

"Let me ask you another question. One plus one equals two, right?"

"Yes." Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"You see, this is a mind that is bound by shackles."

"But one plus one equals two." A famous boy said unconvinced.

"It is indeed equal to two, and I didn't say you were wrong. But have you ever thought about why one plus one equals two? Under what circumstances will one plus one not equal two? How many other values ​​can one plus one equal?" Rhine asked.

“You haven’t thought about it, have you?”

"One plus one equals two when used as a calculation formula, but it may not equal two under other conditions. For example, one cup of water plus one cup of water can equal two cups of water, or a larger cup of water. One man plus one woman can equal a couple, or three or even more people."

"You are just quibbling!" someone retorted.

"Then I want to ask, who defined the essence of magic as what you call the essence of magic? Or can you be sure that what you think is the essence of magic is the true essence of magic? Can't the essence of magic be something else?"

"In my opinion, there should be a thousand different views on magic among a thousand people, rather than just one view among a thousand people."

"If that's what you said, then what's your opinion on magic?" Someone began to ask Rhine in return.

“In my mind, magic is as simple and beautiful as the laws of nature. The ultimate essence of magic is the exploration of the law of everything (the Grand Unified Theory), which is another ‘truth’ that is different from magic.”

"So, you will be divided into two groups, male and female, and I will lead you into the ocean of truth."

(The outbreak begins, first update.)

Chapter 148 A Moment That Goes Down in History (Two in One)

Although he didn't know what Rhine was going to do, the branch director still set up a large number of targets in the arena according to Rhine's request.

"You girls should form your own groups, and the boys should follow me." Rhine said to the few magicians.

Although all the contestants present were at the pinnacle of magic without exception, in fact, if it were not for the fact that Rhine was also a boy, the Kingdom of Solcie would not have allowed these male magicians to compete.

Boys can reach the peak of magicians because their limit is the peak of magicians, while apprentice witches can reach the peak not because they have reached their limit, but because they deliberately suppress their own realm.

It can be said that they are the top group of apprentice witches in the Solcie Kingdom. The reason why they suppress their realm is that they want to directly enter the ranks of high-level witches by participating in the witch examination held by the Magic Integration Association.

So even though the male and female contestants are at the same level, the boys are actually just there to make up the numbers for Rhine. The apprentice witches who have ambitions to become high-level witches are the main force of the Kingdom of Solcie to fight against Rhine.

But Rhine didn't care about their little tricks at all. Not to mention an apprentice witch who was trying to become a high-level witch, even a great witch wouldn't be his match.

But his victory is meaningless, it will only make people think that he is a special case, just like those sages who are recorded in history. The rise of one person does not mean the rise of boys, so what he has to do is to make these boys win over the girls.

"Um...is there anything you need us to do?" asked a wizard who looked shy.

"I want you guys to compete with those apprentice witches and defeat them."

"Impossible! Although they are at the same level as us, their strength has long been comparable to that of witches. The reason why they haven't made a breakthrough yet is that they want to take part in the witch exam of the Magic Integration Association this year." The magician who was first named by Rhine hurriedly shook his head.

"Never mind whether it's possible or not. First answer me, are you the best male wizards in this country?" Rhine asked.

Because even if they are all boys, everyone's talents and qualifications are different, but the difference is not as big as that of girls.

However, since they can reach the peak of magicians at the age of 17 or 18, the talents and qualifications of these boys should not be bad.

It didn't matter if the physical talent was poor, as long as the brain was flexible enough to keep up with his ideas. He didn't want to waste time if the initial magic value was just higher but the brain was not sharp.

In Rhine's view, brains are always more important than talent.

"Although we can't compare with those girls, we are indeed the best among the boys. But it doesn't mean much. The probability of us winning against them is less than one percent." Another wizard wearing glasses said. From his temperament, it can be seen that he should be a top student.

"What's the one percent chance of winning?" the shy boy asked.

"One percent means everything is possible. Before things are confirmed, any result you can't imagine could be that one percent." The academic boy pushed his glasses.

"Very good, you are very smart. Then let me ask you, what is the biggest difference between an apprentice witch and a witch?" Rhine admired the boy with glasses.

"It's the level of the spells you have mastered. Only wizards who have mastered high-level magic can be considered witches. The reason why boys can't become witches is because the magic power in their bodies is too little to support the release of high-level magic." The academic boy replied.

"If I can help you master advanced magic, do you have the confidence to defeat them?" Rhine asked.

"No, because with my magic power, it is difficult for me to release even the lowest level of high-level magic. Even if I release it forcefully, it may not cause serious damage to the witch. And I will definitely lose if I run out of magic power." The academic master shook his head.

"The magic I teach you doesn't require too much magic power. You just need to do as I say." Rhine planned to experiment on the academic boy who looked the smartest first. After all, this was also the first time he let others practice his magic system.

As for why he didn't teach Irena, it was because she was too young, and his magic system required strong logical thinking ability, and Irena, who was only 4 years old, obviously did not meet the requirements.

"I can try."

"You guys should also watch carefully and study hard. This will be the moment that changes your destiny." Rhine advised the others.

"The first step is to extract one kilogram of water from the air."

"And then?" Almost at the moment when Rhine finished speaking, a pineapple-sized water ball appeared in front of the man with glasses. There was no doubt that his basic skills were very solid.

"How's your mana consumption?"

"It's just condensing water. The consumption is almost negligible."

"The second step is to condense a ball of lightning, but don't release it." Rhine ordered again.

"And then?" A crackling purple ball of light appeared on the tip of the nerd's wand.

"How is your mana consumption in this step?"

"It's okay. I just consumed a little magic power when condensing the thunder ball. The magic power required to maintain the thunder ball state is almost negligible." The academic boy answered truthfully.

"Very good. The third step is to use the lightning ball to shock the water ball, and then create a closed magic barrier with the water ball as the center. Be sure to..."

Boom!

The accident happened before Rhine could finish his words. Fortunately, the amount of hydrogen stored at the time of the explosion was not large, so no one was hurt. However, the other boys were frightened by the sudden fireball.

It's not like they haven't learned combination magic before, but can water attribute magic and lightning attribute magic be transformed into fire attribute magic?

"I know you are smart, but can you please listen to me finish before you start?" Rhine said with a dark face.

"Sorry, I'll pay attention."

"You must listen to my instructions, otherwise your life will be in danger." Rhine said seriously.

"it is good."

"When performing the third step, be sure not to let your lightning ball touch the gas in the barrier, not even a trace of electric arc. I think you should be able to notice that a large amount of gas is generated when the lightning ball shocks the water, right? All you have to do is collect and classify the gas." Rhine instructed.

"It seems that there are two kinds of gases, one is lighter and the other is heavier." The top student also observed this strange phenomenon.

"Yes, light gas is the gas that will explode. Heavy gas itself will not explode, but it will make the explosion more violent." Rhine didn't tell him any terms like hydrogen and oxygen, and he wouldn't understand even if he told him.

"Why would the gas generated from water explode? Water and fire should counteract each other rather than promote each other, right? Could this be the legendary alchemy?" the academic boy asked curiously.

"Don't worry about why it exploded. I will teach you when I have time later. Now I ask you, how long will it take you to convert this kilogram of water into gas?" Rhine asked.

"At the current rate, it will take about 22 seconds. If we increase the power of the thunder ball, it can be shortened to 11 seconds, but the magic power consumption will also double."

"11 seconds is too slow. Can it be shortened to 5 seconds?" Rhine frowned. If he did it himself, it wouldn't take even a second.

"Of course, it's possible, but the magic power consumption will triple or quadruple." The top student said reluctantly. After all, for a wizard with limited magic power, the use of every drop of magic power is extremely rare.

Over time, most male wizards developed a stingy habit and would never spend more magic power if they could save it. Therefore, if the magic power was equal, most witches could not beat male wizards, because male wizards had more practical experience than female wizards of the same level, and they were also more diligent in their research on magic.

There's no way, I was forced to do this.

But in fact, male mages are still at the bottom compared to female mages of the same level. After all, the magic power of female mages is much higher than that of male mages, and there is no such thing as equal magic power.

"Please, can you stop being so petty when you should be generous? Keep it to three seconds."

"The mana consumption has almost increased eightfold..." the academic master said with concern.

"turn!"

"The conversion is complete, what's the next step?" Looking at the magic power which was obviously reduced by one twentieth, the academic boy felt a little painful. This was equivalent to the consumption of a mid-level magic.

"The next step is to shrink your magic barrier and compress both gases into liquid state. Don't be stingy with your magic! Press them hard and as fast as possible!" Rhine urged him, as if afraid that the nerd might have some spare energy.

In less than two seconds, two water balls, one big and one small, appeared in front of the academic boy. From the thin lines on his forehead, it could be seen that he was indeed trying his best.

"How much mana have you used up to this point?" Because he had the magic recovery protection that came with the artifact, this level of mana consumption could not keep up with the recovery speed, so he didn't know how much mana he had to spend.
