Asking such a question is not because he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even such details must be withheld. But... He really felt that the distance between these three characters was weird.
When he was just about to condense the third character, he specially asked the system to measure the length of the sides of the equilateral triangle and made a precise positioning for the water polo. Therefore, Benjamin was quite impressed by this distance.
Soon, the system also gave the answer.
"Hmm... It's indeed different. The distance between each character is now about half a meter shorter than the distance when you first summoned the water polo."
… It’s actually really changed.
Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath and fell into deep thought.
In his view, the space of consciousness is an extremely regular existence. If nothing really happened, there should be no changes at all here. However, now, the distance between the three characters has been shortened by half a meter. This certainly cannot be explained by chance or accident.
He also knows that there is an extremely close connection between each character, so the relative position of the characters is actually a very important factor - in the wrong position, he can't even condense the characters.
Therefore, he will not take this phenomenon lightly.
what does that mean
After thinking about it, he decided to put aside the exploration of the Pillar of Steam and study the position changes of the magic characters.
He first tried to feel the connection between the three characters, but he didn't seem to be able to feel anything special. So, he simply started meditating, mobilizing the water elements and letting them start pouring towards the magic characters.
This is also the only thing he can do that can affect the magic characters.
In this way, every part of the water element is automatically divided into three parts evenly and absorbed by the three characters. These three blue characters, which are like reflections of each other, are also strengthening little by little at exactly the same speed.
Once he started meditating, Benjamin was not used to stopping immediately. Therefore, he meditated for several hours before concentrating his mind and gradually stopped mobilizing the water element.
He looked around at the three characters, and then asked: "What now? Has the distance between the characters changed?"
The system replied: "Well, during your meditation, the distance between them is slowly getting shorter. Compared with before, the distance between them is now shortened by about two centimeters."
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
Sure enough.
Soon, he came to the conclusion: as the magic characters are strengthened little by little, the distance between them will also be shortened little by little. In other words, the equilateral triangle they form will become stronger as Benjamin becomes stronger. , gradually shrinking.
Why is this happening
Benjamin thought again of the close connection between the three characters. Perhaps, as the magical characters become stronger, the connection between them will become closer, and therefore, the distance between them will also become closer.
but…
No matter how close you get, there will be an end point.
It is also said in "Introduction to Divine Magic" that there is no limit to the enhancement of this character. This means that as long as Benjamin continues to meditate, one day, the distance between the three characters will become zero - they will be squeezed together.
Then what
Is it possible that... they will merge into one and achieve the true so-called "three-state-in-one" state
Benjamin couldn't help but think about it.
If it really reaches that point, what will the space of consciousness look like? And what will happen to the magic he casts
At that moment, he suddenly felt the urge to continue meditating quickly. He wanted to know what would happen if the three characters really came together
However, he also knew that this scene might not be seen until a long time later.
The characters converge towards the center of the triangle, which is a rather slow process. Just now, he meditated for several hours in a row, and it was still a few hours in the real world, not a few hours in the consciousness space, and the distance between them shortened by a few centimeters. The half meter before was the result of nearly half a month of meditation.
Benjamin looked at the three characters again.
How long would he have to meditate at a distance of more than twenty meters
Okay...another water grinder.
Take your time, it happens to be windy outside. He is on the wanted list of the church, so why not stay at home, lay low for a while, meditate more, and stop causing trouble all day long.
To be honest, he started to feel a little dangerous. The beggar's disguise has been exposed. If he is wandering around outside, he might be caught by the bishop by his pigtails and purified by a ray of holy light.
Just stay at home and meditate.
In this way, Benjamin studied the Steam Pillar for a while and practiced his flight control skills. Then, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to meditation, began to practice magic, and worked tirelessly to strengthen his triangular characters.
Time flies when you are addicted to magic. Except for eating in the living room every day, Benjamin devoted all his time to meditation. He stayed at home, and Grant asked him to participate in a new simulated war game, but he refused using his last experience as an excuse.
His popularity in the aristocratic circle was already good, so others seemed to have forgotten his existence. The military training was canceled under Claude's order. The church was busy searching for him outside. Michelle went to open the treasure house and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. No one came to see him again.
Nothing happened, he just stayed in his room, meditating, and living a life isolated from the world.
As for the agreement he made with the "Silver Fox" boss three days later...
Benjamin also wanted to go to the prison site to see if there was any news about the "bamboo pole". But there is no way, the church has been unable to arrest anyone, so the searches have become more stringent day by day. One day, several paladins even came to their house to search.
If it weren't for the face of the Riise family, the search by the Paladin would not have been strict. Otherwise, they might all find out the stolen goods that Benjamin collected. Because of this, Benjamin hurriedly hid those things in another place.
In this case, how could Benjamin dare to go to the prison ruins
The secret passage in the hotel will most likely be discovered by people from the church, so the prison site will definitely become a place under strict security by the church. Benjamin has confidence in the methods of the "Silver Fox" boss. Maybe he can hide it from the church's eyes and leave a message under the agreed stone, but Benjamin has no confidence in himself!
If the church really leaves a manpower at the prison site, what is the difference between him going there and surrendering himself
He could only pray that the church would stop as soon as possible, that no one would discover the message left for him by the "Silver Fox" boss, and that the "Bamboo Pole" would not suddenly move to another location during this period of time.
Fortunately, the church's manhunt did not last long.
Ten days later, in the afternoon, when Jeremy was cleaning his house, he told him about the church's cancellation of the wanted order.
"Master, that person has been caught by the church." He said as he wiped the cabinet, "Finally, those paladins who were arresting people everywhere on the street are gone, the city gates are also open, and the bread from the next door house is gone." Finally no more price increase.”
