Chapter 98 Central Theory
In the first class of admission to the Royal Academy of Magic, Dean Manan taught Xia Lin and his students: Masters are absolutely not allowed to drink alcohol.

Because the drunken state will destroy the ability of mages to build spell models and thus lose their ability to cast spells, and mages who have lost their ability to cast spells are lambs to be slaughtered on the battlefield.

But it was rare to be so happy today, and there was no danger in the imperial capital. Xia Lin still made an exception and drank a glass of fruit wine with his father, Old John, as an adult wine for his son and father after he grew up.

He didn't feel anything, but Old John kept talking about the sufferings of the Karl family in the past, talking about the three children of the Xia Lin brothers and sisters who died before, and a younger brother who died later.

He kept thinking about how many children he would have been able to support if he had been a factory director, and got drunk and went upstairs to rest early.

After the lively and somewhat heavy birthday party, Xia Lin asked his mother and Hurley to pack three cakes, and prepared to take them to the laboratory so that these researchers could share his birthday glory.

Because Wyatt was arranged by Xia Lin to the industrial park, Karl's laboratory did not have anyone in charge of hygiene and food.

Later, after the establishment of the sugar and refined salt factory, the two Thain slaves, Long and Zu, lost their jobs. Xia Lin arranged for Long and Zu to go to the laboratory to take care of these chores.

The two were also sent to learn from the groom for a period of time. After learning how to drive a horse-drawn cart, they were responsible for delivering sugar and molasses to Carl's Cake Shop in the industrial park every day, and took Old John and Hurley to work and school by the way.

However, for the sake of safety, Xia Lin did not let them go through the slums to reach the industrial park, but went to the pier in the North District to take the cargo ship scheduled by the industrial park and went straight down the river to the industrial park.

Arriving in Carl's laboratory in a carriage, Xia Lin quickly understood what Harper meant by the birthday present.

"Conjecture and Proof of the Theory of Rune Center and Spell Model Action Center...Harper, and you guys really gave me a big surprise!"

Xia Lin sat behind his desk and looked at the results obtained by everyone in the laboratory during this period, and said in surprise to Harper and the temporary researchers who were dividing the cake.

"This theory was originally proposed by Luna, and we only played the role of verification and perfection. Xia Lin, what do you think of this theory? Can it be of any use?"

asked Harper, stopping to divide the cake with a wooden knife.

"Let me take a closer look, but just judging from the title, I think it will be a very interesting and useful theory."

Xia Lin opened the title page and began to read the research results.

According to Harper's research records, "Conjecture and Proof of the Theory of Rune Center and Spell Model Action Center" originated from a question that Luna had on a whim when she was familiar with the spell model of the first-ring magic missile.

That is, many types of runes can take effect independently, and the spell models composed of these runes can also take effect, so what is the process of producing their spell effects?
So Luna went through some spellcasting experiments and found that the process of the runes taking effect is very simple, that is, to generate spell effects on the runes.

The way the spell model takes effect is somewhat complicated. It usually generates spell effects on a relatively central rune.

This phenomenon seems a bit ordinary, and mages have long been used to this phenomenon.

However, Luna, who has been researching with Xia Lin for quite a while, noticed a problem, that is, why does this spell effect take effect in this position of the rune or the spell model?

Reminiscent of the origin of the coordinate system given to them by Professor Xia Lin, Luna made a conjecture, that is, the rune and spell models have a certain center point, and the magic effects they produce will all appear on this center point come out.

In order to prove this conjecture, it just so happened that Carl's laboratory had recently stagnated in the research process of the cleansing spell model of the first ring. Luna wrote this conjecture as a report and submitted it to Harper, which aroused Harper's strong interest.

So Harper assigned ten people to form five groups to cooperate with Luna to prove this conjecture.

During the period up to Xia Lin's birthday, they had experimented with fifteen types of runes mastered in the laboratory, as well as the rune groups and spell models formed by these runes that could work independently.

It has been thoroughly proved that the runes and spell models all have a center of action for generating spell effects. At the same time, they have also determined the specific coordinate ranges of the centers of action of these runes and four spell models.

It's just that they don't understand what these research results are useful for.

"The center of the spell effect? ​​Speaking of which, I have always been used to the feeling of casting spells, and I did not find this problem.

It seems that Luna has grasped what I call the thinking of a researcher, that is, not letting go of every seemingly ordinary and normal phenomenon, and learning to find the essence from the surface of seemingly ordinary things. "

After reading the experimental report, Xia Lin got some inspiration. He looked thoughtfully at the girl who was eating the cake, and said admiringly.

"This is what Mr. Xia Lin taught us. Pay attention to every detail, but this theory seems useless."

Hearing Xia Lin's praise, the girl with short light blue hair smiled a little shyly, and then said in distress by sticking a wooden fork into the cake on the plate.

"No, how can you say it's useless? I think this theory has quite a bright future!"

Xia Lin shook her head and got up and said:
"Do you think that the center of action of the spell model is actually related to the position where each rune in the spell model is connected?"

"The location of the rune connection? Could it be..."

Harper thought about it, and looked at Xia Lin in surprise and amazement.

"That's right, that's the one! I suspect that the center of action of the spell model is related to the way the runes are connected in the spell model!

Otherwise, these types of runes have their own rune centers, but why does the center of action change to another range after the connection?

Luna, Harper, maybe you have found a key to the right path, what we have to do now is to use this key to open the door that blocks us! "

Xia Lin affirmed Harper's thoughts, explained the basis of her guess, and said to them in a solemn tone.

"I...I see!"

Luna didn't expect that the theory derived from her accidental conjecture could provide a help in the research topic of Carl's laboratory, she nodded in surprise.

"Finally came up with an idea, and we will start researching it immediately after you finish eating the cake.

As usual, everyone will be divided into groups of two, and first start to study the various spell models mastered in our laboratory, find their centers of action, and then compare their connection methods to see what rules there are!
Luna and I are in charge of determining the center of action of the Flame Arrow spell model, and Harper and Lamb are in charge of..."

Xia Lin nodded, quickly entered the research state, and began to assign tasks.
