Then when the "ball" bounced back for the fourth time, Shad had to lower his center of gravity to block it. The seventh time, the "Hedon Seal" had been used. The tenth time, the seal shield was pierced at once, and Shad crossed his arms in front of him to block the attack.
And by the thirteenth time, when the "ball" bounced back almost at the speed of teleportation, Shade had no choice but to dodge.
But the black "ball" did not pass through him, penetrate the wall of the store and destroy the entire street. The black rotating energy ball directly dissipated in space.
The wax figure did not launch any other attacks. It crossed its hands in front of its body and then spoke in Sylvia's voice:
"Can you tell what principle the magic just now was constructed on?"
Shade used his left hand to cast Moonfire to heal the bruises on his right arm, and answered without thinking:
"Isn't the golden spiral that just flashed by the Fibonacci sequence?"
Then he remembered that in today's world, the name of that sequence is not this:
“I mean the golden ratio sequence.
The distribution of plant branches and leaf order, the texture and honeycomb structure of pineapples, the arrangement of sunflower petals, the spiral structure of pine cones, the shells of snails, and many other natural phenomena all follow its wonderful structure. I remember there is even a value of the "golden ratio". The closer the structural proportions in art and architecture are to this number, the closer they are to the so-called "perfection".
Outsiders still remember that number:
"It seems to be around 0.618. Each rebound of your attack just now was enhanced in power according to the golden ratio sequence. Can the power of the magic be increased by this ratio?"
The wax figure was silent for a moment, then split along the midline of its body, forming a black and gold vortex with a slight buzzing sound. This was the kind of portal that Sylvia often used.
Another box appeared in the remains of the wax figure after it was cracked. Shade bent down to pick it up and looked at it. As expected, the silk cloth in the box recorded a unique magic:
"Thaumaturge - [Golden Whirl].
After the energy is launched in a specific way, it will rebound when it hits an entity. At this time, if you cast a spell to launch it a second time, the energy effect will be enhanced while the consumption of spirit remains the same. The current maximum number of spins is 22 times. "
The silk cloth fully records all the details and learning methods of this magic that Sylvia created by herself. In Shad's opinion, the advantages and disadvantages of this magic are equally obvious.
The disadvantage is that it requires a long pre-preparation process, but the advantage is that it can achieve extremely strong attack effects with very little spirit consumption.
"Sylvia is such a creative witch."
After passing through the portal, you will leave the "Gorgeous Fabric Shop" store. The other side of the portal is in a garden under the moon. Even in winter, there are still flowers and green trees in the garden. You can even see a glass greenhouse with a glass ceiling dyed white by silver snowflakes.
This should be inside the Willendel House. Although Shad has never been there, it looks like a private garden of aristocrats or even royals.
The only sound in the quiet garden was the falling snow. The scattered gas street lamps kept it from being too dark, but Sylvia certainly didn't invite Shade here to enjoy the snow.
Soon, there was a clacking sound, and then a knight's armor passed by the ivy beside the garden path and came in front of Shade. The inside of the armor was obviously empty, and the witch probably used a power similar to "puppetry" to remotely control it.
The "knight" held a standard long sword in each of his left and right hands. He threw the sword in his left hand to Shade, and then made a gesture of charging with the sword in hand.
"First it was topology, then number theory. Could it be human mechanics or materials science this time?"
Xia De guessed in his mind, without using any magic to assist himself, he raised his sword and with a clang in the falling snow, blocked the standard thrust of the knight's armor.
The armor was not very powerful, and Xia De clearly felt that even if he did not block the sword, it would not hit him.
He was very curious about why he had such a strange idea, and then he swung his sword to block again, wanting to see what the armor was going to do.
Not only was the armor weak, but the swordsmanship was also really poor. Most of the crooked attacks looked standard when the sword was launched, and it was indeed aimed at Shade, but the final position was far off.
In addition, a few standard sword attacks could be easily blocked occasionally, so Xia De lost his patience after more than ten moves between the two sides.
He was just about to speed up his movements to deflect the opponent's sword, and then test the strength of the armor, but it seemed that the armor could not hit the sword again this time, and miraculously it pierced directly into the right side of Shade's chest.
Even if he dodged in time and the sword only cut his clothes, it was still incredible. The armor was weaker than Shade in any angle and any data. Theoretically, it was impossible for this sword to hit him:
"What's going on?"
【destiny.】
"She" smiled and answered as Shade kept dodging those inferior sword attacks:
[The sword just now was destined to hit the target. ]
"But this sounds like a fortune teller's trick. Sylvia shouldn't understand this. And this kind of 'sure win' often comes at a price. I can hardly imagine what price Sylvia would have to pay to achieve 'sure win' for me."
"Her" smile is still gentle:
[Except for the last sword strike, most of the previous sword strikes had the fate of "definitely missing". Moreover, the two seemed to have a strange balance, like the weights on both ends of a scale, maintaining a delicate balance.]
Xia De, who was dodging backwards, suddenly stopped and rushed forward, grabbed the sword on the knight's armor with his left hand and let it pierce his chest directly.
Then with a bang, the long sword exploded on the spot, and then the broken sword and the armor turned into gravel and disappeared in the snow.
The familiar box fell into the snow. After Shade opened it, he saw the truth of this magic.
[There is an 'average' for everything. If this is taken as the core of the theory and "failure" is forcibly given, then "success" will definitely appear after enough failures.
Thaumaturgy - [Sword of Destiny/Sword of Probability], when facing a certain target, it will fail before successfully hitting the target, but it will succeed after failing enough times. If the "success" event occurs prematurely, the weapon and the user will be backfired by the probability. 】
"So, she achieved the fortune-teller's method by taking an alternative approach? After topology and number theory, it's probability."
Sylvia's talent was indeed outstanding. Shade believed that even if she was not a witch, she would definitely go further than most people in the future. But now it was more important to take the next step. He had been aroused and was even looking forward to what kind of power Sylvia would show in the future.
After the knight's armor failed, no other abnormalities occurred, so Shad tried to use his reconnaissance magic to observe the surroundings. The "Echo of Blood" allowed him to see a series of glowing bloodstains on the stone road in the garden that stretched into the distance.
He followed the blood trail through the garden and after five minutes he turned into a glass greenhouse. This was actually a greenhouse, and the heat provided by the steam pipes ensured that the plants that were not adapted to winter temperatures could continue to bloom in winter.
Surrounded by blue and red roses, a blackboard stood out in the middle of the greenhouse. After the silver light from Shade's fingertips illuminated it, he discovered that the chalk scratches on it were Sylvia's handwriting:
【最后一个考验的答案，在这条方程中：(x^2+y^21)^3=x^2y^3——艾玛·西尔维娅】
"This"
Clearly, what we just learned was cutting-edge knowledge for this era, but this time the equation seemed a little too simple. Although it was obvious that this equation could not be solved, the outsider remembered that when it was plotted in the coordinate system, it seemed to be a heart-shaped pattern.
So, with "her" laughing beside him, Shade picked up the chalk in the blackboard slot and drew a heart shape around Sylvia's signature, which included her name in the "heart":
"But is it really that simple? Did I miss some clue?"
He thought so when he put down the chalk, but the truth is, it is that simple -
"It's faster than I thought, Xia De. Did another girl tell you the meaning of this function before? Otherwise, how did you recognize it at first sight?"
The voice came from behind the blackboard, and a young black-haired girl came out with her hands behind her back, smiling. Shade couldn't explain the things about his hometown, so he just said:
"You know, I've always been interested in mathematics."
The black-haired girl smiled modestly amidst the roses. She had indeed made no mistake about the man:
"Then please evaluate my research results. What do you think of the knowledge I showed you?"
"You have profound attainments in topology and number theory. Although the mathematical principles involved in the Sword of Destiny are simple, your ability to combine probability and magic together is enough to prove that you are more than just an outstanding theoretical researcher."
Xia De was not stingy with his praise, but Sylvia asked again:
"I originally thought that my problem could cause you trouble, but it has only been less than 20 minutes since I locked the door to the basement. Are you praising me or yourself?"
"Of course I'm complimenting you."
This was sincere, because the foreigner's knowledge was learned, while Sylvia's knowledge was developed by her own research:
"Are you planning to test me with these difficult questions and then make me your apprentice?"
He asked again, and Sylvia looked at him with a smile for a while before slowly shaking her head:
"Of course not. If I were to test my apprentice with these questions, I would never be able to find a suitable apprentice in my lifetime. We cannot expect other people in the world to be as smart as us."
She reached out and pushed the blackboard, throwing it into some unknown corner, and then threw the knight's sword that Shade was still holding into the flowers.
The witch took Shade's hand:
"It's only been half an hour anyway, and Margaret won't be back for a while, so let's go somewhere else. This time, it's the last stop."
