The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1287 379: The Great Sage Who Makes Peace (2)

On the contrary, what they have learned from the civilization of Spiritualists is far more.

Today, among the hundreds of schools in the Academic State, many theories have been refined through communication with the Void Realm, with the Source Magic School leading the way.

With the debate between the two factions of sages, the council has clearly divided into radical and conservative camps.

At this moment, a sage from the Enchantment School raised a new topic.

"Rather than the debate about the Void Realm itself, I am actually more interested in the 'Magic Science Laboratory' credited in the paper. Also, the 'Science' mentioned by Prince Colin, I think this is a very novel perspective, and it has inspired many mages under my command... although they are not engaged in Void Realm research."

After pausing, he looked at everyone, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, and continued to elaborate on his findings after a thorough examination.

"I have read some of Prince Colin's classroom notes. Although what he teaches is unrelated to magic, the empirical spirit and the so-called wisdom of mortals he imparts to students can precisely assist and even optimize our magic research."

"For example, using his mathematical tool — that is Calculus — to calculate the optimal structure of Enchantment Runes can conveniently reduce unnecessary Magic Power loss during the flow phase. Another example is his theory on force fields, which has given me considerable inspiration for my personal study on the essence of spiritual power. Perhaps our spiritual power could indeed be explained as a special kind of 'force field.'"

"Force field? I think playground would be a better name."

A voice filled with disdain rang out from a sage of the Law School.

His hair was neatly combed, like a judge's, and his arrogant expression further reinforced the stereotypical impression he gave to others.

"This guy invents some new terms, merely to mystify things and show off, to enjoy being chased by everyone. Otherwise, why would he lecture those preparatory students and not those who truly understand magic? What do a bunch of apprentices know!"

"If you ask me, he's just moving those tricks that please mortals from the Holy City Royal Art Academy to our Northern Wilderness. The precious and limited life of mages should be spent pursuing the mysteries of the soul and the roots of strength, not wasted on these trifling skills!"

He has indeed researched the Calculus that Colin created, but for now, the only effect it has is to give him a headache.

The fierce debate lasted the entire morning.

Rarely does a master spark such a huge controversy that the highest echelon of the Academic State convened an entire morning meeting for it.

Ultimately, all eyes focused on Great Sage Dousuke, awaiting his final verdict.

The Great Sage remained silent for a long time, finally slowly speaking, each of his words like the majestic Tower of Great Sage, solemn and indisputable.

"...The research of Prince Colin in the 440th Void Realm is groundbreaking, this point is unquestionable. The council should acknowledge the academic status of the 'Magic Science Laboratory' and commend the achievements of Colin Tower."

Faces of the radical faction sages immediately lit up with joy, while those of the conservative faction sages mostly looked quite unpleasant.

However, their happiness didn't last long, as it quickly froze due to the Great Sage's next words.

"...Nevertheless, up to this point, no Mage Tower has successfully replicated the achievements of Colin Tower, which is also a recognized fact. Furthermore, Colin Tower itself has not proven that their proactive intervention strategy can bring greater benefits. The prosperity behind the Void Realm does not mean we can obtain more from the Void Realm... What do you think, Elemental Sage?"

Seeing Dousuke looking at him, the Elemental Sage felt a slight numbness on his scalp, tightened his face, and nodded slightly.

"This is true... Currently, none of the Mage Towers under the Elemental School have successfully replicated the experiment, but it shouldn't be long until we make new breakthroughs."

"Then let's talk when progress is made." Dousuke casually tossed a remark, blocking the latter half of the Elemental Sage's sentence back into his throat.

Facts speak louder than words.

The Great Sage's intentions are already clear; he needs to see more achievements to decide whether the Academic State holds a positive or negative stance towards the 'Radical Intervention Strategy.'

The conservative faction sages present breathed a slight sigh of relief, at least indicating the Great Sage was not blinded by the temporary success of Colin Tower, relaxing his vigilance of the Void Realm.

Superficially, others adopting radical research strategies seemingly do not hinder their own research, but in fact, it is impossible.

This is not only an academic issue but also a political one.

If the Academic State supports Colin Tower's achievements, a large number of tutors and professors engaged in Void Realm research will adopt more radical strategies to encourage the development of civilization behind the Void Realm, possibly even rush growth, and consequently overlook the output of the Void Realm itself.

Because as long as achievements are obtained, more Void Realm resources can be acquired, sacrificing one or two worthless resources seems acceptable for this purpose.

Over time, Void Realm resources will become more strained, and the limited resources will all be concentrated in the hands of those radical faction scholars.

Therefore, sometimes, they must curb this tendency, not only for the overall good of the Academic State but also for themselves.
