When the party in the First Hall was coming to an end, Nicholas put away his books and was about to leave the library. Several vice presidents and deans of the First University were immersed in mountains of documents in their respective offices.
When the moon is half hidden behind the gauze-like mist, feebly spitting out the moonlight.
When the day is coming to an end.
A black butterfly fluttered its wings and flew from the shore of Linzhong Lake.
A flash.
Another flash.
Then suddenly disappeared into the air.
It was silent, not causing a ripple.
When it reappeared in this world, it was tens of thousands of miles away, on a calm sea.
It danced gracefully and landed on a blue, delicate finger.
"News from First University?" Captain Misty twirled the black wings of the butterfly in his hand.
The scale powder fell rustlingly, turning into a strange symbol.
This is an ancient text commonly used by monsters. It is strange and powerful and can only be condensed by monster energy. Legend has it that it is a blessing given by the true spirit that opened up everything.
Nikita was holding the captain's afternoon tea and watching all this curiously.
"I can feel your surprise." Captain Misty seemed to be in a very good mood. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the banshee next to him: "The whisper in your young heart seems a bit noisy in this room..."
Although Nikita's arms holding the dinner plate were shaking slightly, she still bravely asked her doubts: "It... it flew from First University?"
"Bingo!" the captain snapped his fingers, his tone full of appreciation: "But there is no reward."
"This is impossible!" Nikita's eyes widened and he said in shock: "The protective formation of the First University can isolate everything... It can't slip out from inside!"
"Do you think it looks very fragile... so it can't break through the powerful protective formation of the First University?" The captain's lips curled up, obviously very satisfied with the incredible expression on the banshee's face: "But you ignored a very important point.
Principle... there is something that is mutually exclusive, and difficulty and difficulty are mutually beneficial."
This is a true saying in the Taoist scriptures, and Nikita knows it.
But the meaning of the captain's words is difficult to fathom.
After all, every sentence in the Taoist Scriptures has always had seventeen or eight different translations.
The banshee looked at the captain blankly and blinked her clear red eyes.
Maybe it's because I just received a piece of good news, or maybe it's just because I just took a bite of delicious snack.
Captain Misty seemed to be in a very good mood and patiently explained to the Banshee:
"It cannot be denied that the guardian formation of First University is the most powerful guardian formation in this world, or in this universe."
"To a certain extent, it can even shield the school from spying by higher-dimensional creatures."
"But no matter what, most of what this defense array deals with are three-dimensional life forms... Whether it's you or those idiots outside, although they are all 'brutal demons' in the mouth of wizards, they are nothing more than a nose and a mouth.
Three or five eyes and seven or eight legs... still can't get rid of the basic concept of space and time in this universe."
"But this butterfly is different."
Captain Misty said, raising his fingertips slightly.
The originally flying scales gathered together like phantoms and turned into a black butterfly again.
The butterfly seemed to have some memory of what had just happened, and it flapped its wings vigorously, trying to stay away from the cyan finger.
But all in vain.
No matter how hard it struggled, its thin legs and feet were always firmly attached to the captain's fingertips.
"Create life!" Nikita covered her mouth in horror.
Being able to build a life, even the most humble ant, with a snap of your fingers is a very remarkable achievement.
As far as Banshee knows, none of the senior professors or even the deans of First University have this ability.
Perhaps only those who surpass the great wizard and the great demon in the legend can understand some of the mysteries.
"No, no, no, it's still a little short of heat... It's just a little trick in time and space." The captain shook his index finger modestly, happily watching the black butterfly swaying between his fingers, and asked gently.
: “Do you know Cork Snowflake?”
"The great wizard Kirk built an infinite length in a limited space. It is named because it looks like snowflakes." As a former top student at First University, Nikita still remembers these basic concepts: "Similar
, and the triangle constructed by the great wizard Scherpinsky, the area of the figure will infinitely tend to 0 as it changes."
"Very good. If I teach at First University, I will definitely give you some points." Captain Misty applauded lightly and said with a smile: "So, are these structures one-dimensional lines or two-dimensional surfaces? Just
Like the Sierpinski triangle you just mentioned, it is obviously difficult to call it a two-dimensional figure because it has almost no area... but it is very obvious that it is not a collection of one-dimensional lines."
"Between one dimension and two dimensions." Nikita seemed to have returned to the university class, with a long-lost seriousness on his face: "Could it be that this butterfly exists like this?"
"A very keen little guy." The captain stretched out his finger in front of the banshee and asked her to look at the black butterfly seriously: "It is not a plane... but it is infinitely close to a plane. It is between two dimensions and three dimensions.
living beings in the world.”
"The protective array of the First University can resist the prying eyes of higher dimensions and can block the invasion of demons, but it is difficult to prevent these life forms that transcend ordinary concepts... Those bare-headed ascetics call this the 'obstacle of knowledge and vision'
.”
The orange-red sunlight filtered through the narrow window and fell on the captain's desk.
A few rays of light passed through many obstacles and fell between the wings of the butterfly.
The colorful light shone, and for a moment, Nikita felt that this little guy flapping its wings was just a painting.
"Does it have a name?" the banshee asked, looking obsessively at the fine scales flowing in the sunlight.
"Name?" Captain Misty finally fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he nodded and said, "Just call it a 2.5-dimensional butterfly."
A stiff smile hung on his face.
Faced with this terrible name, Nikita didn't know how to continue.
"This is your pastry, please enjoy it." She abruptly changed the subject and raised the plate in front of her.
"These pastries taste good," the captain picked up the last small piece of pastry on the plate with the black nails on his fingertips, stuffed it into his mouth, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction: "I seem to taste the mellow aroma of 'memory'
.”
"What you said is very correct," the banshee lowered her head and complimented: "These pastries are made by selecting the aged memories, drying the brains, grinding them into powder, and beating them... Your favorite liver is also added to them.
Rongxuejiang.”
"Sure enough, everyone has their own value." The captain picked up the white silk on the dinner plate, wiped his fingertips, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Letting you be the cook on my ship is probably the most correct thing I have done this year.
