Bernadette, far away in the city of Backlund, suddenly realized something: Odis Garr was not just a research talent as she had previously imagined.
His application of research findings also exceeded Bernadette's expectations.
She used the "invisible servant" who followed Odis to say, "If I'm not mistaken, the maintenance of this magic circle can be done by an ordinary person!"
Odis sat on the rock with his legs crossed: "Yes, I only participated in the initial setup of the magic array on the nearby mountain. After that, it was all maintained by these guards."
Bernadette then asked, "Why don't you turn the entire Balchis Mountains into your planting and breeding areas?"
"Because my strength is too weak," Odis said, holding his pipe. "And in the previous years, I had no chance of promotion."
Bernadette realized that Odis knew very well what these research findings meant: it was not only a huge breakthrough in mysticism, but could also bring enormous wealth!
In this extraordinary world, the demand for spiritual materials is enormous, but their production is always very limited due to the distribution of spirituality throughout the world.
However, Odis's research results enabled the mass cultivation of spiritual plants and the mass breeding of spiritual creatures at a very low cost.
It's conceivable that this will develop into an industry that monopolizes the spiritual materials market.
Odis knew very well that once the great figures of the extraordinary world discovered his research, he would be completely reduced to a tool. So he simply cultivated and raised on a small scale, enough to supply only one herbal shop, without even impacting the spiritual materials market in Backlund.
Without any apparent benefit, the big shots in the extraordinary world wouldn't pay attention to this plantation hidden in the mountains.
At this moment, Bernadette suddenly recalled the towering figure who had once helped Odis. She wondered if Odis had secretly pledged allegiance to some great figure in the extraordinary world because he needed protection.
But after thinking about it for a moment, she added, "This magic array has a wide range of applications, not just for planting and breeding."
However, Bernadette doesn't seem to have a clear idea of where to apply it specifically.
Before this, she had never thought about the use of such a low-level magic array, so she lacked the relevant association.
"It can indeed be applied in many places." Odis smiled. "Actually, the principle of this magic circle is not difficult. It's just that before this, scholars of mysticism had never thought of optimizing or modifying the structure of the magic circle."
Bernadette understood that Odis was holding back on this topic, and she didn't intend to press the matter. Instead, she changed the subject: "I've heard that you've pondered the question of 'spiritual nature'?"
Odis took a puff of his pipe: "That's right, this is an unavoidable issue in my research."
"Only by figuring out what spirituality really is can we conduct the corresponding experiments and research."
What results have you achieved through your thinking?
"I believe that spirituality is a special kind of energy, like a magnetic field or heat, that exists everywhere in this world," Odis simply described her idea.
"It's a waste to leave this energy unused."
Bernadette said, "Your idea is quite novel."
She paused for a moment and then said, "I believe that spirituality exists in a wave-like form."
"A high-sequence extraordinary being is like a large spiritual transmitter, which can use its extraordinary characteristics to influence spirituality in a specific frequency band within a certain range."
"If someone prays to this high-sequence extraordinary being, it is equivalent to sending a signal of the same frequency within the coverage area of the band, which can be received by the high-sequence being and a connection can be established."
"Of course, this also involves the relationship between extraordinary qualities and spirituality."
She didn't provide any further explanation.
Odis was slightly taken aback. Bernadette's thoughts were the same as his. He guessed that Bernadette must have been influenced by Roselle to have such an idea.
After all, the physics of this era still has a very superficial understanding of elementary particles.
Moreover, Bernadette was very sincere in this conversation and shared some of her more advanced thoughts.
The concepts of "high-sequence extraordinary individuals" and "extraordinary characteristics" that she just mentioned are already quite advanced knowledge for ordinary extraordinary individuals.
Odis smiled and said, "The magic circle in front of you indirectly proves the theory you just proposed."
"Theoretically speaking, I used a magic array to change the direction of spiritual propagation."
"It's like throwing a stone into a pond. Normally, it would create ripples that spread outwards. But I put a plank in one direction of the ripples, causing them to stop there."
This is Odis's use of his knowledge of physics when contemplating spiritual matters.
The atmosphere for academic discussion was quite good at the moment. Bernadette said, "But there is a problem here. If spirituality exists in a wave-like form, it should be more uniform."
"Based on my observations, the distribution of spirituality in this world is not uniform. In most places, the spirituality is similar, but in some places, the spirituality is very strong."
"Even if you eat the food there or drink the water from that area, ordinary people can briefly gain the ability of 'spiritual vision'."
Odis smiled and said, "I think it must be related to the source of the spirit."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"We can assume that the source of spirituality comes from the Earth's core and is constantly changing and active, with the surging spirituality spreading throughout the universe in a relatively uniform state."
"But we are located around the source of the spirit, so during the activities of this source, there will be some obvious tremors, and the spirituality in some places will be more intense."
"It's like throwing a stone into a pond, but the stone can't always fall into the water at a vertical angle."
"So even a slight difference in angle will result in a slight difference in the ripples."
Bernadette exclaimed, "Your analogy is very apt."
"It's alright," Odis thought to himself as he smoked his pipe. "I have to thank Stephen Hawking for this."
After a few seconds, Bernadette said, "Your point is very valid."
Today's exchange was very beneficial to her. She knew very well that, given the current level of friendship with Odis, they could only talk about this much. If they were to go any deeper, they would be discussing their respective core research topics.
Just then, Odis heard the old man Anriel calling out loudly, "Mr. Gar, Mr. Gar?"
"I'm here." Odis knew the old man had already hunted enough mutated flamingos, and he asked the air around him, "Interested in tasting the flesh of a mutated flamingo?"
Bernadette was slightly taken aback: "Its flesh is edible?"
"Of course," Odis said. "It's a very good tonic."
What are the effects?
"It's easy to get a sore throat or other heat-related symptoms."
