Chapter 320 Meeting with Noyce (Part 1)
Noyce's laboratory is well insulated, except for the rustling of the quill and paper.
In such a quiet environment, people are more likely to fall into concentration.
Colin stood on Noyce's left, carefully reading the manuscript paper he picked up.
This was the first sheet on the stack of manuscript papers on the far left, and after looking at it for a while, he put it back again.
Noyce should have placed these manuscript papers in order. What he just took was a fragment in the middle of a certain reasoning process. If it is not combined with the previous content, it is difficult to understand.
Colin turned over the manuscript paper in front of him, and after a while, he turned to pick up the manuscript paper in the middle. This is the front part.
Noyce's writing hand paused for a while, glanced at him, and then continued to concentrate on checking.
It can be seen that there is the frontmost manuscript paper... It seems that at least for the crimson marking technique, Colin should have done some research secretly.
In fact, this is exactly the case. After breaking the limit of Crimson Marking with golden paper, Colin's understanding of it has reached a new level.
Otherwise, if the limit was not broken yesterday, facing the manuscript paper in front of me, I am afraid I can only be blank.
But even now, the complex content on the manuscript paper still seems a little too obscure, and some knowledge is beyond the scope of current grasp.
Colin watched intently, he read very slowly, even a little difficult.
But it is like a snail crawling with a heavy shell on its back. Although it is slow, it is at least reluctantly moving forward.
During this process, the complex knowledge was constantly intertwined in Colin's mind.
Some incomprehensible places, combined with the context and the analysis and calculation in the brain, can be successfully deduced after reading it several times.
Moreover, under the action of the super brain, he does not need to use paper and pencil to assist in combing, especially when it comes to calculations, he can get the answer at a glance.
That's it, after a while, he seemed to feel something, and Colin's mind suddenly moved, and he called out the golden paper.
He glanced calmly from the corner of his eye, his expression slightly startled.
A ↑ symbol flashed indistinctly after a crimson mark that broke the limit.
This is a sign that Crimson Marking is on the rise.
But soon, Colin reacted—
This is a very normal phenomenon, after all, the progress on the golden paper represents the understanding and mastery of witchcraft.
and want to improve the understanding of witchcraft.
For ordinary wizards, the most orthodox approach should be to first study the theory behind it on paper, supplemented by appropriate exercises, as a reference for actual cases.
Wait until the knowledge behind witchcraft is thoroughly understood, and then practice more to improve the proficiency of spellcasting.
If it is an important witchcraft of the first rank or above, the witchcraft model will be engraved in the spiritual sea at the same time.
But for Colin, the quicker and more efficient way is to simply practice.
If sorcery is a flashlight, the effect is to emit light.
Ordinary wizards want to completely master this "flashlight" sorcery and let out light proficiently, they must disassemble it and understand the principle and structure of each part behind it.
But for him, he just needs to keep turning on and off the flashlight, and then he can naturally understand the structure and principle.
This is the gift of being able to go from the surface to the essence.
Put down the manuscript paper in his hand, and put it aside in a regular pattern, so that it can be restored later, Colin continued to pick up the next manuscript paper and watch.
On the gold paper, the number behind the Crimson Marking technique jumped slightly, and the frame was fixed as —(1/100).
Colin smiled faintly in his heart, and continued to watch it intently.
After all, you must know that it is not always possible to see such detailed witchcraft manuscripts, not to mention that these manuscripts are still from the famous Noyce pen.
Every opportunity to improve your strength must be seized!
In addition, in addition to the direct progress improvement, learning more and different related knowledge can also increase the upper limit of the Golden Paper Breaking Crimson Marking Technique.
In a way, this is a more precious benefit.
The only pity is that some of the content on the manuscript Noyce wrote is too out of line, even if you read it carefully, it is still incomprehensible.
When encountering such a place, Colin could only choose to skip it and try his best to understand as much as possible.
I have to say that even though I have broken the limit once with gold paper, my understanding of the crimson marking technique is still far from that of Noyce.
In fact, the crimson marking technique that he mastered at the beginning is actually a reduced version of Noyce's optimization.
The reason why made a reduced version is obviously to popularize this sorcery as much as possible, so that every wizard with a higher apprenticeship or above can use it.
From this, it can be seen that before the final version of the Crimson Marking technique was made, Noyce’s hands may have developed an unknown number of versions of the Crimson Marking Technique.
The amount of effort and talent required in it, just thinking about it, it is amazing!
Of course, the benefits of the crimson marking technique that he finally researched brought to the wizard side, and they did not live up to these efforts.
That's it, I don't know how long it took, until the characters on the gold paper had beat to 12/100, Noyce finally temporarily ended a stage of inference and stopped.
"How did you look? Can you understand?" Noyce raised his head and asked, the face of an ordinary middle-aged man was deeply tired.
In order to quickly research the new witchcraft that can identify the followers of the gods, he has hardly slept these days.
Of course, this kind of exhaustion is not the effect of not sleeping, but more of a manifestation of mental exhaustion.
"I can understand a little bit." Colin put down the manuscript paper and restored it to its original state one by one.
"If you can understand what I wrote, even in part, you are far superior to others in terms of crimson marking."
Noyce looked at Colin's neatly arranged manuscript papers, nodded with satisfaction, and then praised.
Colin smiled and didn't answer.
Seeing his appearance, Noyce became interested and asked after a while:
"Now that you understand something, do you understand the problem I'm encountering now?"
"...The disappearance of a certain trace of belief." Colin replied briefly after pondering for a while.
Noyce glanced at him, and a trace of untraceable surprise flashed in his deep eyes:
"You're not talking big."
"I've always been honest," Colin replied, neither humble nor arrogant.
In the reading just now, his greatest achievement was to understand the essence of the crimson marking technique.
or the crimson marking technique can distinguish the basis of the believers of the gods.
This basis is a trace that belongs to the believers of the gods.
Specifically, it is the trace of the power of faith that the believers of the gods have paid to the gods after prayer.
The essence of would not be known if he just learned the ordinary crimson marking technique. It was cleverly hidden by Noyce in order to avoid being deciphered.
But unfortunately, it seems that the gods have already developed corresponding countermeasures.
"The Thread of Faith." Noyce said suddenly, "I call this trace the Thread of Faith.
This is an extremely difficult to detect trace, which cannot be observed using conventional light-sensing vision, even super-sensing. "
"After trying countless methods, I accidentally used Douglas Shuttle, and when I was observing in the spiritual world, I noticed this trace.
Because the shape it presents in the spiritual world is like a thread, I also call it the thread of faith. "
Colin nodded, and Noyce's words made him understand a little more about Crimson Marking.
"Unfortunately, the gods may have discovered this now and used some means to cover up this trace." Noyce sighed, raised his hand and pressed his tightly locked brow.
"It is also possible that the current spies of the gods have never prayed to the gods, so there is no such trace." Colin said.
It can be seen from the small part of the manuscript paper he just saw that Noyce’s current research direction is mainly to decipher the disguise concealed by the gods on the line of faith.
But obviously, there is another possibility that Crimson Marking can no longer work.
"I have also considered what you said." Noyce nodded, "It's just that I chose to prioritize whether the gods have placed a disguise on the line of faith."
"In addition, I'm also looking for a new basis for judging the believers of gods, but I haven't found anything for the time being."
Compared with the disappearance of the line of faith, he believed more that the line of faith was concealed by some means.
Colin nodded without any surprises, what he could think of, and what Noyce could think about, was normal.
He thought of it at first, but still said the reminder.
After all, obviously because of this reason, you can't keep the reminder that you want to say it in your heart.
What if Noyce just didn't think of it?
The new witchcraft to identify believers of gods is very important to the wizard, and it is closely related to him as a wizard, and is closely related to every wizard.
"Any other ideas?" Noyce continued, speaking softly, as if encouraging his students.
"There are indeed some ideas." Clinton paused.
Just passed the crimson marking technique after the golden paper broke the limit this morning, which is more to strengthen the range effect of detection, but the essential basis has not changed, it is still through the line of faith.
So it is not very helpful for the predicament in front of us.
But after reading the manuscript just now, he still had some thoughts in his mind that he wanted to talk about.
Colin organized the following language and continued: "Lord Noyce, if you want to detect whether the target is a believer of gods, then you need to find features such as the thread of faith that only believers of gods have.
Conversely, as long as you can find the line of faith, you can judge whether you are a believer of gods or not. "
"In this case, it means that it is possible to determine whether there is a line of faith by finding the unique traces that may be caused by the line of faith, and thus indirectly determine whether the target is a believer of gods."
Clinton paused and added:
"Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the gods are only covering up the thread of faith, not letting it disappear."
"It's a good idea." Noyce smiled. "Although it's just one more step, it's already far ahead of other wizards of the same age. Few of them are as logically clear and comprehensive as you."
Noyce had a smile on his face, but his eyes were calm, obviously he had thought of this a long time ago.
"Only for the thread of faith, our current research is not enough, and it is even more difficult to judge the special traces it can cause."
Noyce went on to explain, with a somewhat regretful tone.
However, he looked at Colin and felt better.
The words just now were not that he was complimenting Colin on purpose.
It is indeed rare for the younger generation of wizards to have such clear logical thinking and the ability to research and analyze problems.
If you let them learn a witchcraft, there may be no problem.
But let it study directly, for example - "a sorcery for discerning believers of gods".
After receiving such a request, most of them often do not know how to start.
But Colin directly grasped the essence - to accurately distinguish the believers of the gods, first of all, it is natural to find the uniqueness of the believers, which is different from other ordinary people and even wizards.
After grasping this essence, thinking continues to advance logically.
Such a mode of thinking is scarce among many schools of wizards.
The reason is that in the past thousand years, the risk of studying witchcraft has become higher and higher, and wizards have naturally become less and less researched, but are more willing to directly learn ready-made, low-risk witchcraft.
Most of them gradually lost the ability to study new witchcraft, and became some wizards who only learned the wisdom of the past but did not understand innovation.
"Maybe the spiritual world is a breakthrough?"
At this moment, Colin thought for a while, and suddenly said again.
‘The world of the mind…’
Noyce was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously frowned and thought.
"If the thread of belief can be observed in the psyche, it is very likely that it can also have an effect on the psyche.
The so-called observation, whether it is vision or hearing, is essentially because the observed object has some influence on the surrounding, and then can be perceived by the observer—
A target that will not have any impact on the outside world and without any interaction is also an unobservable existence. "
Colin continued, and his words gave Noyce some inspiration.
But those inspirations are very ethereal, like the clouds in the sky that may dissipate at any time.
Without thinking too much, Noyce subconsciously called out his quill, took out a new piece of white paper, and began to write quickly.
At the same time, he did not forget to praise Colin.
"Profound and accurate understanding - let me take back what I just said, you are not only far superior to the wizards of your age, even many fellows who know the truth are not as logical as you."
Colin smiled slightly. Except for some surprises, Noyce didn't put on airs at all and didn't hide his equal appearance inspired by him, but he didn't take the rest too seriously.
The praise of others is just the crown of jewels on the king's head, but the king is not the king because of the crown.
In this violent world, everything eventually falls to the real power.
