The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 357
Chapter 357
Imperial Castle Emperatos Ministry of Magic Research Archives.
The vast amount of magical research materials stored in the Ministry of Magic made her wonder if she would be able to see them even if she lived her entire life.
Even though it is limited to one field of dimensional magic.
However, being able to browse the materials of the Imperial Ministry of Magic wasn’t just about going to the library where valuable books were kept.
I was able to call in professional wizards who had already understood and embodied all of these books at any time and get help from experts who could help me understand the contents and present concrete research data for abstract questions.
Harriet was literally studying for the emperor.
“The imaginary dimension?”
“Yes, Grand Duchess.”
So, for the first time in a long time, Harriet was experiencing the realization that she was in fact an aristocrat who was in a fairly high position among nobles.
At the temple, he gets yelled at and abused by an idiot who was born as a beggar, but he is originally like this. The research wizards of the Imperial Magic Department, who have great authority and prestige, not only treat them with the utmost respect, but also talk about what they know as hard as they can, fearing that they might go against their intentions.
Of course, even if there is no crazy beggar, it’s a bit like that.
First of all, there were princes and princesses among his classmates, as well as the prince of Kernstadt among the duchy’s daughters.
In fact, it is forbidden by the school rules to press someone with their identity, and even if that is allowed, there are classmates who are superior to them or similar to them.
blast furnace.
Harriet was studying happily in the mood of being filled with the pride of an aristocrat for the first time in a while.
At the words just mentioned, Harriet tilted her head.
imaginary dimension.
This was the answer that came when I asked for an explanation about the part I couldn’t understand while learning about the warp gate system.
“For example, it refers to the shape of a dimension that does not actually exist but is assumed to exist.”
“Um… … . Assuming it exists when it doesn’t?”
“That’s right.”
“Why do you need such a concept?”
In response to Harriet’s question, the researcher wizard slowly begins to explain.
“Two-way one-time portals don’t require that concept. Once activated, it is a structure that closes after a certain period of time. However, the warp gate system is a shared system of permanent multi-directional portals.”
The researcher drew a picture with a pen on the paper placed on the table as if to make it easier to understand.
[Gate-Gate]
“It is easier to make a one-off structure like this. There is no reason to establish the concept of an imaginary dimension. Aside from the complexity of the magic itself, isn’t the composition itself simple? There is only one connection between the gates.”
“I guess so.”
“But if you consider that there are three gates, how many paths will there be in total between the gates?”
“Three, right?”
Assuming that there are three gates ABC gates, the connection between each gate is AB AC BC in total. The connection is bi-directional, so gate order is irrelevant.
“What if there are four?”
“Six, probably.”
in that way.
“As the number of warp gates increases, the number of paths increases exponentially, doesn’t it?”
“I guess so.”
“Not all warp gates are necessarily connected in this way, but there are over 200,000 connecting routes between gates by themselves.”
“… … That’s a lot.”
Harriot didn’t know that the connection between the warp gates was like that, so he had no choice but to open his mouth slightly after hearing the researcher’s words.
“The warp gate system is the largest magic system in the history of the continent. Therefore, a common spatial awareness system was needed to share the path to set the permanent portal and which gate to connect to where. That’s why we created a virtual map called the imaginary dimension.”
virtual map.
If it’s a portal you’ve created yourself, you don’t have to share it with anyone. It’s a magic composed of your own thoughts, and it’s a one-time thing.
However, the warp gate system is no different from a joint structure created through the cooperation and collaboration of numerous wizards.
It means that the same map or blueprint must be in everyone’s head so that something can be added or modified to the warp gate system, and that is the name of the imaginary dimension.
An understanding of the imaginary map or blueprint that researchers have accumulated so far.
A virtual dimension that does not exist but is assumed and conceived to exist.
You must understand it before you can access the magic of warp gate.
“This is the map of the imaginary dimension updated until recently.”
The researcher laid out a huge floor plan in front of Harriet that could take up the entire table.
It’s not like a drawing that connects dots and lines.
The map was full of complex strings, including the connection form and nature of each dimensional gate and the dimensional gates, as well as the strength of the connection for blocking and usefulness.
It is a map of things that do not exist, but this map has changed the history of mankind.
Harriet suddenly wondered.
this world.
What is this world?
The researcher directly said that the imaginary dimension is a dimension that does not exist.
“… … You mean this is not a dimension that actually exists?”
It is only a hypothetical concept created to help the common understanding of later wizards and modern researchers, and it is correct to understand it as a blueprint.
“Yes, literally the imaginary dimension.”
The researcher nodded his head, saying that of course it would be true at Harriet’s words.
“But now, some people are asking whether it can be concluded that the imaginary dimension does not exist.”
“… … What do you mean by that?”
“A portal is, after all, a magic that directly connects space to space. Even if there are hundreds of portals, the basic principle does not change.”
That was something even Harriet understood.
“By the way, isn’t there an in-between space that is skipped in the middle to connect the portals?”
“The space between… … ?”
“We use gates, but the gates themselves do not exist either at the entrance or at the exit. It is being treated as a phenomenon, for example.”
The researcher rests his chin on his arm and speaks as if thinking.
“However, you can only pass through the gate, but you cannot touch or reach the gate itself. It means that you can control and control it, but you can’t tell if the phenomenon itself belongs to an alternate reality or not. It’s in the dog. Warp gates are not actually skipping space, but passing through a passageway in a certain space, and wizards who say that the space actually exists.”
“Hmm… … .”
warp gate.
It is possible to shorten the space through it, but the gate is a strange phenomenon that cannot be touched or reached at the exit or entrance.
Gate magic can be used, but what substance or phenomenon does a gate belong to?
When crossing the warp gate, is the intersect of the space that you pass for a moment not a real space?
It was clear that this issue had not yet been clearly defined.
“There are often people who claim that the virtual dimension called the imaginary dimension was actually created because the concept of dimension was distorted due to system saturation caused by the permanent operation of the warp gate, but it is only a guess.”
The researcher looks down at the imaginary dimension map.
“Importantly, the warp gate system quickly spread too quickly to be convenient. Without properly examining the dangers of this large-scale sorcery.”
Just like Harriet had foreseen last time.
The warp gate system is a very dangerous magic, but because of its convenience, it spread very quickly without proper risk verification.
That is why, even after a long history of warp gates, opinions about warp gates are divided among wizards.
All the more so in the sense that no one could predict what kind of catastrophe it would bring.
also.
Harriet was looking at the vast imaginary map in front of her with fear.
“The map of this imaginary dimension… … . Can’t anyone see it?”
“of course.”
Researcher speaks quietly.
“If it wasn’t for the permission of the imperial family, the Grand Duchess wouldn’t have been able to see it, no matter how much she wanted to.”
Although he was looking at it casually, Harriet was looking at the most important secret of the empire.
Understanding the imaginary dimension can interfere with warp gate systems.
soon.
If you decide to use it for the bad side, you can use it for the bad side. Therefore, if Harriet understands the map of the imaginary dimension and fully understands the warp gate system, it means that if Harriet has a bad heart, she can freely tamper with the warp gate system.
“To think that warp gates are too dangerous magic… … . Is it my bias… … ?”
“I think so too.”
The researcher sighed.
“But warp gates have already become indispensable to mankind.”
Warp gates are convenient.
So even if people knew about the dangers of warp gates, it was the reality of this continent that warp gates would not disappear.

After collecting books related to marriage magic, Tana and Charlotte returned to the ecliptic.
I told the commander that I couldn’t find anything in the labyrinth. I just said that I returned safely.
No one saw what we found because we put the magic books on a backpack tied to a horse in advance.
I decided to keep the underground labyrinth of the demon castle secret.
It was because I was certain about something I wasn’t sure about.
It is true that the devil’s soul dwells in Charlotte’s body.
Charlotte’s current condition is no different from that of Archdemon.
The demon king separated his soul with a soul fusion technique and merged it with Charlotte’s soul.
If there is a way to separate it, Charlotte will ask the royal wizards she trusts to analyze the sorcery and will find a way.
“Good work Reinhardt. thank you.”
“… … I didn’t do anything, so what?”
I didn’t directly help Charlotte. Tana and Charlotte seemed to return to the imperial palace as soon as possible and begin analyzing the harvest they had obtained.
There was nothing I had to see and nothing I could do because I stayed longer.
Before anyone noticed, I separated from the two of them and went on my way.
Due to this return to the Devil Castle, I gained more than Charlotte.
There was a bunker in the basement of the castle.
Therefore, Balie would not have died.
And through the numerous spellbooks there, you will be able to derive the Cantus Magna.
There was a lot to gain, but also a lot to worry about.
What did Bali do in the past? It is possible that both Cantus Magna and Vali are unrelated, or that one or the other may be involved, or that both are involved.
Did Bali try to contact Cantus Magna like me now?
Let’s assume.
Balie contacted Cantus Magna using his many magics as bait.
And Kantus Magna finally completed Akasha through that magic and did something with it. That’s the gate situation.
It’s an overkill.
But I can’t be sure that’s not the case.
And one thing I regret.
sorcery.
There was definitely talk of soul fusion there.
That’s what happened to Charlotte.
Lucinil said he wanted a soul.
Could it be that the answer to the question of how to bestow souls on soulless beings may lie in the art of seduction?
Charlotte was the first thing that came to mind right away, but after calming down, I thought about it.
But right now all the enchantments of soul magic are out of my hands.
If the research on it is over and we find out how to restore Charlotte’s condition to its original state, can we get back the magic books about soul magic?
If you get it back, what excuse should you give?
I didn’t think it was a hasty decision, but since Lucinil is helping me, I hope I can help Lucinil in some way.
The underground labyrinth of the Mawang Castle.
bunker.
Share that with Lucinil and allies, and talk about Cantus Magna will have to make a decision as well.
In those thoughts, I returned to the temple.
“How are you?”
Let’s go back to the Royal Class Dormitory. Ellen was staring at me in the lobby.
You’re back.
“You are the one who came.”
Ellen looks at me with a sullen expression.
“Where have you been?”
“uh… … .”
is it a secret again?
Ellen looked desperate as she asked, but didn’t seem to want an answer.
It took courage to even ask because I know what not to expect from me, but it was an expression of acceptance that there would be no use in showing such courage.
Maybe I can say this now.
It may be rude to Charlotte, but because of the emperor, Ellen already knows that I’m helping her in any way.
I looked around and made sure there was no one to eavesdrop on, so I whispered to Ellen in a small whisper.
“It’s hard to go into detail about that, but it’s because of Charlotte.”
“… … ah. huh.”
Ellen, who hadn’t expected me to answer, seemed very surprised that I did.
“It wasn’t dangerous.”
“huh. okay.”
Ellen looks up at me and speaks in a slightly watery voice.
“Tell me… … . thanks for telling me… … .”
“… … .”
What is this?
I didn’t even tell her what was going on, but seeing Ellen about to cry because she was so moved that I had at least said something, I felt a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of something.
Feeling weird for no reason, I strain my eyes and look at Ellen.
“By the way, did you have a good trip home?”
“Oh right.”
Ellen sucks! He took a deep breath and grabbed my arm.
“I have something to show you.”
“Huh? Wait a minute.”
“hurry.”
Ellen started dragging me somewhere.
* * *
Moments later.
I was taken to Ellen’s room and stared blankly at the cloak Ellen was wearing.
“What is this?”
“Lapelt.”
uh.
hmm.
that.
isn’t that it?
“The cloak of the sun god.”
“Oh yes that.”
I had a brain freeze.
“Why do you have that?”
“I brought it from home.”
hmm.
that.
I don’t think it’s meant to be that way.
“Why is it at home?”
“I don’t know.”
Dizzy.
“Mom gave it to me because he said he might fight the demon king.”
I’m so dizzy!
