I Am Not A Mage Lord - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Profound Truths Of Time

“What is it?”

Other than Lin Qi, the first batch of mage apprentices who had passed the “School Enrollment Pledge” finally arrived at the edge of the forest of magic pets. Most of them looked puzzled and did not dare to enter.

Over the last half an hour, they really wanted to move faster, but the “firefly lights” maintained a steady pace.

But now that they were here, these mage apprentices stopped advancing.

The mages who were guarding the outer circle to prevent new apprentices from doing anything foolish, also turned to look at the forest of magic pets.

Only one person went in just now.

Why did it seem like the forest had exploded?

“May I know what happened inside?” The youngest female mage asked.

She had just been notified of this mission yesterday. She thought that it was a normal mission, but had a disaster just happened?

The other middle-aged mage pouted and pointed at Mo Feng. “Ask this super memory genius.”

But Mo Feng just held a look of disbelief. “That’s not right! Don’t tell me that kid used a function to set a function? Multiple substitutions? Does he have such an ability?”

“Not likely. These are tricks that only mages know how to use to capture magic pets.” The middle-aged mage shook his head. “Tell me, has such a situation ever happened in history?”

At this moment, the entire forest of pets was like an erupting volcano. The power of the energy current inside seemed to be increasing one level at a time, climbing to the peak. The mages in the arena had already stopped the apprentices from entering.

Mo Feng cursed in his heart.

Big Brother Lin Qi, hurry up and keep your divine power!

Even if you want to show off, please wait until I get you into Golden Dawn and carry out the ritual before showing off!

At this moment, he was beginning to worry about losing his status as a “guide”.

“What’s going on?” At this moment, there were already quite a number of mages crowding over.

Magic pets could become stronger as a mage grew, so most of them had only entered the forest of magic pets once or twice. None of them could compare to the experienced Mo Feng, who had suffered defeat after defeat.

Mo Feng explained, “In the records, the last time such a phenomenon occurred was when a certain big shot mage, who like me, repeatedly failed to get a magic pet, directly carried the School Enrollment Pledge stone tablet into the forest. Relying on the method of constantly refreshing his memory, he cast a wide net resulting in abnormal movements in the forest of magic pets.”

As he spoke, Mo Feng shook his head and consoled himself. “As strong as that brat’s strong deduction and calculation abilities are, I’m afraid this wave of energy will be exhausted soon.”

“Will it explode?”

“Then he would be able to forcefully deduce and cast any spell model by calculating and deducing. Memorizing the Sisma symbols and models would not be a big problem for him,” Mo Feng said. He couldn’t resist smiling.

“But do you think that’s possible?”

However, he realized that no one was “smiling with him”. Instead, they were looking at the forest of magic pets pensively.

At this moment, Mo Feng, whose back was facing the forest, finally realized what was happening behind him.

The light was blinding.

————–

“Traveler on the lost path of time, why did you summon me?”

It was a loud and extremely powerful voice that could split the heavens with just a few words. It was an ancient voice that could cut off the flow of the river, so loud that even the deaf could hear it. It crushed the depths of Lin Qi’s heart.

His memory palace almost collapsed as well. Countless spiderweb cracks spread over it, as if it would disintegrate into powder at any moment.

Lin Qi could only smile awkwardly at this, as if to relieve some of his embarrassment.

He only managed to be cool for three seconds. He had reached too far.

Earlier, Lin Qi had summoned a horde of magic pets, from ravens to owls.

There were even rare small versions of “Tree Spirit”, “Water Demon Spirits”, “Wyverns” and “Elemental Creatures”.

Emboldened, Lin Qi had shouted, “Tell me, what are your strengths?”

Although he did not say “otherwise, I will not give you any Jinkela”, the magic pets were still all taken aback.

Having verified his idea, Lin Qi turned into a diligent craftsman, producing pledge symbols as he sped along.

Finally, he was blocked by a lake of light that was constantly emitting “starlight”.

Without any hesitation, Lin Qi threw all the pirated “pledge symbols” in his head into the lake of light.

If there was a dragon hiding inside, the creature should show its face.

Little did he know that his wish had come true.

The slender dragon in front of him was covered in silver-gray scales, but no obvious back ridge. Hourglass-shaped black scales covered its eyes like a mask.

12 unevenly distributed ring-shaped black scales spread out from the back of its body like a growth ring. Spikes extended from the back of its skull, while triangular wings extended from the narrow points of its back, making the dragon’s body look like an hourglass. At the end of its tail were two sharp tips.

The other party’s words stirred up a storm in Lin Qi’s heart, sweeping through everything. Just witnessing this scene was nearly unbearable. He felt like he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Lin Qi looked at the mysterious silver-white dragon, which was somewhat different from the dragons in myths and stories, and hurriedly closed his eyes in humility.

“Greetings, I hereby offer my highest respect to you, Immortal One.”

Instantly, the silver dragon’s eyes locked on Lin Qi’s. The passage of time flashed across its golden amber eyes.

“There’s no need to be so polite. I only just happened to notice you in the long River of Time. Since we have a past contract, I will follow the ancient rituals and ask you.”

“If you can answer, I will bestow you with a dragon egg incarnation to be used as a magic pet.”

Dragon egg!

At this moment, he felt like crying. He had finally gotten a windfall.

“Please go ahead, great Immortal One,” Lin Qi answered.

“Explain the Principle of Invariant Light Speed.”

Erm.

Lin Qi quietly opened the “Theory of Special Relativity” book in his memory palace.

Not many people understood Einstein’s theory of special relativity, mainly because it was written in a very cumbersome manner.

He organized his words and prepared to recite a simplified concept.

“No need.”

The silver-white dragon’s roar resounded once again. The memory palace was on the verge of collapse.

I haven’t said anything yet?

Lin Qi was confused.

“I have already learned of your answer from the River of Time. It is still too complex, not concise enough.”

Lin Qi’s mouth dropped open.

The River of Time? Already knew his answer?

He had really met a high-level expert this time. Why couldn’t he come up with such lofty-sounding, pretentious words himself?

However, Lin Qi still obediently lowered his head in the face of the dragon’s natural dominance.

When it came to the Theory of Special Relativity, most people would immediately think of the Twin Paradox. Whether time sped up or slowed down and the basis was the Principle of Invariant Light Speed.

However, it was difficult for ordinary people to understand the Theory of Special Relativity.

Lin Qi took a small breath.

Fortunately, he had the entire Earth’s “Physics Department” as his backing. They had long since refined that theory into simpler language.

“Our speed in the axis of the material world is the same as our speed in the axis of time. The vector is the same as the speed of light. It will never change.”

The speed of reality and time were fixed. Naturally, one was faster, while the other was slower.

When reality remained still, time moved at an even pace.

When reality accelerated, time slowed.

When reality was close to the speed of light, the speed of time would be close to zero, reaching a “stop in time” stage!

Suddenly, the enormous dragon that had just descended into the world of mortals transformed into a halo of light. The river of stars flowed by, and at the end of the annals of time, boundless time was absorbed and breathed in by it.

“Very good, I shall grant you a period of time according to my vow.”

“I hope you will persist in awakening it. It will repay you with the true meaning of time.”

Lin Qi stared at the dragon egg in the memory palace, dumbfounded. “How?”

“Sisma’s mysterious runes. They have been polished over the years.”

“Why?”

“It is the language of dragons.”
