Chapter 22: Say it again

Vivien's eyes rolled, "Regarding the next thing in this, it involves our other roommate McLean, and there are some unspeakable reasons involved, I think it is more appropriate for him to say this matter himself." ”

"What about the others?" asked Carlos.

The half-orc Kuknunu pouted and pointed upstairs.

"I think Maclean's still sleeping. ”

Carlos was dumbfounded, such a story with twists and turns, it's not appropriate for you to give me a story and listen to the next explanation.

Raising his head and saying to Vivien on the other side, "Can you really only let that dwarf say it himself?"

Vivien spread her hands helplessly, "I'm sorry, Carlos. It's about McClean's reputation, and we promised not to spread the word about it, or he'll be very angry. ”

Cook nodded in agreement, "He's always got angry easily. ”

Carlos was stunned, dwarves are a large race, and the overseer of Stevenson's salt mine is also a dwarf, except for a more remote personality, everything seems to be normal.

Carlos didn't dwell too much, he had already heard the main story of the matter, and in the end it didn't matter.

He stood up, picked up the alchemy book, pressed his chin against the upper layer of the thick scroll, and yawned.

"Then I'm looking forward to listening to the end of this interesting story soon, and now I'm sleepy and it's time to rest. ”

"Good night, Carlos. Vivien said goodbye warmly with some regrets.

"Good night. ”

Carlos was a little sleepy, but he still felt the need to do something, he went back to the utility room that had been converted into a makeshift bedroom, lit a candle, and took out a pen and paper to roughly record the strange events he had heard today.

When the night was completely dark, Carlos pushed the window open and whistled like an owl's low chirping into the mountains outside.

A moment later, a figure climbed up and climbed into the room through the window.

"Carlos, do you need my help so soon?" De Ligt walked into the room with a strange look on his face.

"Brother, did you find anything unusual in the jungle north today?" Carlos asked in a low voice when he saw De Ligt coming according to the agreed code.

"No, everything looks normal. De Ligt shook his head.

Carlos thought about it after hearing this, and then gave him a general account of what had happened to the Demon Hunter's pocket watch during the day, and then took the letter paper written on the table and handed it to De Ligt.

"There is another thing that I think my father needs to know about, and I have written everything about it in my letter. ”

De Ligt looked Carlos in the eye and nodded earnestly.

After taking the letter, he was about to dodge out, but was stopped by Carlos.

Then, with some embarrassment, Carlos said, "Tomorrow, if it's appropriate, you can bring me some strips of meat, dry bread is not used to eating." ”

De Ligt blinked, chuckled and leaped off, quickly disappearing into the night.

Carlos suddenly found that it was actually not bad to live in the utility room, Du Buyi was right, this was a utility room that was converted from a bedroom before, at least there was a separate bathroom.

I brought water and took a simple shower.

The sleepiness has been diluted a lot.

I gnawed on the "Alchemy Geometric Pattern Symbols Preliminarily" for a while, and roughly remembered the basic alchemy symbols, and the moon outside hid above the roof, and there were insects chirping one after another in the mountains and forests outside the window, and I also yawned, and got into the quilt, and the quilt was warm, and the sleepiness came like a tide, completely drowning him.

Carlos habitually slept late, and when he woke up with sleepy eyes, it was already three poles of the sun.

So much happened yesterday.

A good night's sleep is the best digestive agent.

Habitually stretching his waist, Carlos consciously crawled out of the warm bed, and today he will consolidate the symbols in the "Alchemy Geometric Pattern Symbol Preliminary", and then start the study of geometric patterns.

This was planned by Carlos for a long time.

Although Du Buyi gave him half a month to learn the theory, he only planned to spend a maximum of five days.

He thinks that for the unknown, it is almost enough to understand the basic theory.

What you really need to learn can only be mastered more quickly and effectively in practice.

An alchemist would certainly not be as simple as just reading theoretical knowledge, otherwise it would be no different from smelting.

Carlos was becoming more and more eager to understand the true mystery of alchemy, and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the secret of alchemy.

The young Carlos was always full of exploration.

Du Buyi finally came out of the basement, and the old man seemed to be accustomed to locking himself in the alchemy room at night, and appeared in the living room again in the morning.

As for the time he slept, Carlos thought that maybe it was alchemy while dozing, because he didn't even have a bedroom for himself.

Carlos' breakfast is milk and bread, which is not a good thing, and the teenager who is still developing wants meat every meal.

When he took the bread from the cupboard, he made a special eye to find that the cupboard that had been stuffed with dry bread yesterday was now only a small layer.

While eating, Carlos sneaked around behind Du Buyi, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and when he found out that the newspaper was an expired newspaper from the previous days, Carlos pouted and continued to return to the table.

It seems that a time-sensitive newspaper is impossible in this remote town, and even an alchemist cannot conjure it out of thin air.

After eating, Carlos continued to open the "Preliminary Geometric Pattern Symbols of Alchemy".

The teacher and the student sat opposite each other, and no one disturbed anyone.

As for the academic discussion, Carlos thinks that these symbols and patterns are obscure at first glance, but when the logic is slowly found in them, there is actually nothing difficult to do.

It's nothing more than A, B, C, D replaced with weird graphics such as knives, forks, and round axes.

When these weird shapes form more bizarre geometric patterns, it takes more brain cells to understand.

But so far, Carlos just felt that it was a little complicated and cumbersome, but it was not difficult to understand, so he just quietly opened it by himself, and then recorded it in his notebook, without asking Du Buyi.

On the contrary, the old man seemed to be a little surprised by Carlos's performance, and sat there with his identity for a while, and found that Carlos was just copying notes by himself, and was very devoted to writing and reciting, so he could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart.

After a few pretended pensive pacing, he kept walking behind Carlos and scanning Carlos' notebook out of the corner of his eye.

Until one time, the old man stood behind Carlos for half an hour.

Carlos rolled his eyes, turned his head and asked, "Teacher, is there something wrong?"

Du Buyi reluctantly removed his gaze from Carlos's notebook, coughed a little embarrassedly, but slowly walked away with doubts and excitement on his face.

Repeat this several times.

Carlos felt that his studies had been completely distracted, so he put down his pen and took advantage of this to almost ask about other things.

"Teacher, what's going on with those people upstairs?"

Du Buyi hadn't come back to his senses yet, and when he saw that Carlos had stopped writing, he looked at Carlos mysteriously, and said with a wink: "Little guy, your alchemy note seems to be a little interesting." ”

"Teacher, this is the icon note-taking method, first find out most of the categories covered by the content, and then draw out the columns, fill in the corresponding information, why do you want to learn, teacher?"

Carlos proudly explained that the biggest advantage of such chart notes is that they are intuitive, and you can quickly find out the relevant connections of the content from the notes.

Du Buyi waved his hand, "That's not necessary, the teacher is not familiar with alchemy, where do you need any notes." ”

"Oh, that's the question I asked you just now, and you haven't answered it yet?"

Du Buyi looked at Carlos silently, and thought for a moment before saying with an embarrassed face: "Say the question you just asked again."
