Magus Tech Chapter 25: Dinner and Goal
At night, Prince William's palace, dining room.
There were only a few candles on the long dining table, and the flickering candles made the whole house dim.
The eldest prince William sat quietly at one end of the dining table, as if waiting for someone.
Suddenly, with a "squeak", the door of the restaurant opened, and a figure walked in. Because of the dim light, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but just from the silhouette, he could guess that it was a handsome young man.
"His Royal Highness..." The figure walked in, and was about to greet him immediately, with an extremely respectful voice.
William raised his hand to restrain the other party's politeness, and said softly, "Sit down, I'm waiting for you." According to etiquette, the other party should be sitting at the other end of the dining table, but William moved closer to him. Make a move against the position.
The figure was taken aback for a moment, then sat down next to William in trepidation.
William clapped his hands, and immediately a maid walked into the restaurant and brought the prepared food to the table. It was very simple, but it was white bread, pork chops, half-cooled roasted hare, mushroom soup and ale.
The two started to eat, and the process was a little silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
William didn't say a word, just focused on eating, as if it required 100% of his energy. Regardless of the taste of the food, it is carefully chewed and swallowed when it is delivered to the mouth.
The figure on one side was a little nervous. Although they were eating with the standard etiquette of nobles, the speed was extremely slow. In the oppressive atmosphere, drops of sweat dripped from his face.
Suddenly, William seemed to have thought of something, and lightly put the knife and fork on the dining table with a "snap" sound, and turned to look at the figure beside him.
The figure quickly swallowed all the food in its mouth with a "gudong", put down the knife at an extremely fast speed, and met William's gaze.
"His Royal Highness..."
"Hmm." William said, "You should be familiar with my younger brother, right?"
"His Royal Highness's younger brother——His Royal Highness Li Cha? Of course you are familiar with it." The figure said cautiously.
"Then what do you think my younger brother is like?"
"Ah, this..." The figure hesitated for a long time, and organized his words, "As far as I know, His Highness Richard is very smart, but he is also very weird. He always studies something related to wizards, or Do some experiments, in short... it seems to be completely different from you, Your Royal Highness."
"Indeed." William nodded in agreement, his eyes flickered, "Li Cha... Well, my younger brother is indeed very smart and weird. In fact, he has been like this since he was a child.
As you should know, he is two years younger than me. But you must not know that he and I can speak fluently and communicate with other people-when I was three years old and he was one year old. "
The figure showed a surprised expression.
"Of course, I actually don't know about these things. After all, when I was young, who can remember that my father told me these things. My father also told me that my younger brother had many strange behaviors when he was young, such as Never cried, and of course never laughed, just not like a child, as if another person's soul was hidden in that small body.
He was quick to read and learn, and the court teachers could not teach him when he was six years old. After that, the place he went to the most was the library. According to the curator, he seems to be even reading faster than ordinary people. Others are really reading, but he is flipping. The most important thing is that after he turned over, he could still remember it very firmly. I remember when I was ten years old and he was eight years old, my father asked us a question, and then... Do you know what the result was? "
William looked at the figure, who shook his head doubtfully.
There was a flash of light in William's eyes: "As a result, I didn't even have a chance to think. Basically, my father's question has not been finished yet, and his answer has already been said. Finally, my father asked him how to do it well." A king? Afterwards, I thought, if he had given his father a satisfactory answer, maybe his father would have directly made him the crown prince. But guess what he answered?"
The figure shook his head again.
"He said..." William laughed complicatedly, "he said, he was too lazy to answer this question. He said that being a king is a very troublesome thing, and he has more important things to do, so he is too lazy to answer this question." Be king."
"..." Yingying didn't know what to say.
William shook his head, as if talking to himself: "You know, how did I feel at that time? Surprised, um, and scared. Because I suddenly discovered that this younger brother is actually much stronger than me , if he wants to do one thing, he will definitely do it better than me, but he is unwilling to do it, as if he has seen the result.
My brother is just that weird—a weird guy, a weird prince. Especially since his father's school entrance examination, he has become even weirder. He has started doing various experiments, researching various things related to wizards, and making various scary things. For example, acid that can easily corrode sharp iron swords, and stones that can make a huge explosion when thrown in water.
No one knows what he wants to do, nor what his purpose is. In the end, in fact, his father was a little afraid of him, otherwise there would not have been that misunderstanding three years ago. "
At the end, William sighed softly, looked at the figure and said, "I asked you to come, but there is no other meaning. I want to be a good brother and protect his safety. No matter what he does, as long as he doesn't If it's too much, it's in his favor. At the same time, I also want to be a good king and protect this country well."
"So!" William's eyes became serious.
The spirit of the figure was shaken, and the next moment he heard William say, "...you have to do one thing for me, that is..."
The figure's expression changed rapidly, and after a long time, his gaze fixed, and he responded with a voice: "Yes!"
……
At night, Richard's palace.
In the bedroom, Li Cha was flipping through "Chapter of Monroe", his eyes flickering, and he occasionally showed a thoughtful expression.
Although he successfully released the first spell yesterday, he is not even a first-level apprentice now. There are three levels of wizard apprentices: first-level apprentices, second-level apprentices, and third-level apprentices. Only after reaching the third level of apprenticeship and then successfully advancing can one become a wizard.
Right now, I am just a rookie who has just entered the world of wizards. In addition, it is obviously impossible to try to analyze the entire world with the help of a wizard book. I still need to get more things related to wizards, and even get in touch with real wizards and magical creatures in this world.
"The road is vast and the road is far away. I will search up and down. The task is heavy and the road is long." Li Cha said to himself.
The road is long, but Li Cha doesn't feel that he can't complete the scientific analysis of spells. After all, no matter how miraculous a spell is, it must conform to the common sense of chemistry and physics. You can't let flames freeze people and ice cubes burn people.
Even if it does not conform to the common sense of chemistry and physics, it must conform to logic and mathematics. It cannot be that the effects of spells are all random, and the power of two is the same as that of one.
If this is the case, then Aristotle, the leader of logic and the **** of warping the ball, really wants to use the lever to warp the planet. And the master of mathematics, the circle-drawing madman-Archimedes, also took the dagger of the Roman soldier and stabbed him.
All unknown things may seem mysterious, just like things beyond one world are often regarded as magic ~IndoMTL.com~ But it must always follow some laws, which are science.
Science is not something immutable, but a way of thinking and a worldview.
What Li Cha really wants to do is to figure out the science in this spell, to figure out the reason why he came to this world, to figure out everything.
Traveling through time, conquering the world, just listen to this sentence. Only when it really happens, will you know how unreasonable it is.
If you are like an ostrich, as described in many novels, ignore it and pretend that everything is normal to live. It is obviously a choice to persuade oneself to be assimilated by the world, to live according to the way of this world, or to strive hard to become the strongest within the framework of the world.
But Li Cha didn't want this.
From Li Cha's point of view, this is no different from the artificially bred bugs in the box. Doing nothing is a bug, work hard, become stronger or even the strongest, still a bug, still in the box.
What Li Cha wanted was to figure out what was going on with this box, why he got into this box, and then go out.
The reason why one becomes a wizard is not to have any power to destroy the world, but to understand what this potential science that does not exist on the modern earth is all about. Understand its core principles, master and use them, and then understand the principles of the current world.
The strongest wizard is still a wizard, still a bug in a box. Figure out all the mechanics, get out of the box, and be god. This is a qualitative difference.
After all, if you live in a box, you will never know if something will fall on the box in the next moment and directly destroy the whole world.
"The road is very long..." Li Cha said to himself, "So don't waste time, just walk quickly..."
