Chapter 53 Units and Calculations
"And the most common magic potions are the healing potions that can be purchased from the Temple of Life. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Feith, who was fat and slightly bald on the top of his head, introduced, and took out a small transparent ball from his robe, and a small drop of pale red liquid floated in the middle of the ball.
It was somewhat similar to the precious fifth-order potion that Minerma had given her, except that there were no veins on the surface, and Merlin observed.
"Compared to those restorative magic, the effect of healing potions is much more complex and extensive, as I introduced before, restorative magic can heal ordinary wounds, get rid of common diseases, and even temporarily replenish physical strength, but for the wounds caused by magic, hidden but deadly curses, and even the withering of the soul, the effect of healing potions is revealed. ”
"The only experimental assignment in this course during the academic year requires each student** to complete a stable first-order pharmacy, which accounts for 40 percent of the total grade. "But in the first few months of school, I don't expect anything from your level of dispensing, remember, this is a class that requires patience, a skill that requires sweat," said Feith. ”
At the end of the course introduction, he officially began to teach, placing the pot of plants he had brought in earlier on the wooden stake podium: "Now, each group, go to the classroom to pick up a pot of plants, and we will explain the structure and life cycle of plants. ”
Emino got up to move the plants, and Morin took advantage of the brief noise in the classroom to whisper to the group leader, "Tilna, have you heard of the Troublemaker Alliance, at noon Senior Mike said that he would treat me as a candidate or something." ”
"Although there are not many students in our academy, there are many student organizations, some of which even have a long history, and the Troublemaker Alliance is one. They usually look mysterious, but they are just a group of students who want to find loopholes in the school rules and are more rebellious. ”
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, but he asked again, "Has Mr. Faith always been so kind?"
Tilna replied, "Yes, he's been teaching at the academy for a long time, what's the matter?"
Merlin shook his head and said, "It's okay, it seems that Xiao Hei doesn't like him very much." But maybe it's also because of the face, it's always very bold. ”
After Mr. Feith began his formal lecture, the vague voice appeared in the teenager's head again, asking him if he wanted to learn the content of this lesson.
Without the slightest hesitation, Morin answered no, and sure enough, the drowsiness did not appear, and everything was normal.
Moreover, the boy found that although he had seen a lot of the knowledge in this lesson from books before, it was much more vivid to learn by referring to a real plant than the illustrations on the trees.
The first class of botanical and potions overview did not show anything out of the ordinary, the only thing worth mentioning was Marcus, who received a compliment from Faith for his beautiful cutting of the veins of the leaves, and a bonus point.
……
There were no classes in the evening, and several people talked in the water sound lounge.
"Really, when is there a combat course!" Barron's mood was obviously a little low, the first day of the class was not of the type he liked, and he was forced to jump off the cliff, it was really a tortured day.
"Tomorrow?" Marcus looked it up and said with a smile, "Tomorrow there will only be one lesson in the School of Mechanics and Manufacturing: Units and Calculations." Combat lessons will have to wait until the day after tomorrow. ”
In the continent of Todel, there are 333 or 334 days in a year, and the biggest festival, the Starr Festival, is celebrated every three years. The year is divided into twelve months according to the constellation of the sky, each month of 27 to 28 days, which is divided into four weeks, and for the students of the college, one or two days of the weekend is a fixed rest day.
"Marcas, have you seen your sister in the past two days?" asked Morin, Blackie playing with the twig-like cane.
The boy shuddered and said, "No, no." She said that she would be busy after the start of school, and she didn't come to care about me, do you have something to do with her?"
"Is that so...... Nothing urgent. The young man sighed, thinking that Bimenelma should also know that there was no news of Teacher Honorom's return.
He snatched the wand from Xiao Hei's hand, to be exact, along with Xiao Hei, who was holding on to the blade of the handle, and asked, "Tilna, when are we going to use the wand?" I looked at the class schedule for this week, and I didn't see any such lessons. ”
"Wand," Vesdemonic explained, "We'll be useful when we do our magic perception, but that's the second half of the school year, and there's a lot of preparation to learn before then." Perception and exercise of magic is a complicated matter, and that is why you humans do not exercise any magic or psychic power until the age of twelve. ”
"Do you have to wait for half a year?" Several teenagers couldn't hold back the expectations in their eyes, and being able to exercise their magic power meant that they had truly entered the door of professionals.
……
To Marcas's particular disappointment, the classes he was looking forward to for the Mechanics and Fabrication School: Units and Calculations were not held in the Mechanical Levitation Fortress, but in the castle of the Combat and Command School at the foot of the mountain. So I didn't have a chance to take advantage of this to visit the floating island.
And what was even more unexpected for the new students was that the teacher in the class turned out to be a goblin.
"You should know how it is possible for a creature other than a goblin to take the name of Vavaqala Pointy Nose. Marcus muttered quietly.
The sharp-nosed teacher looks like any other goblin: less than a meter tall, sparse hair on his head, pointed ears and nose, relatively large eyes, and conspicuous green skin. If you're particularly familiar with the goblin's physiognomy, you might be able to spot a sharper nose, but Maureen doesn't see any difference.
Goblins are much more protective of their knowledge than other races, preferring to keep their knowledge secret and earn gold, and only spread their knowledge within interested groups. However, after the formation of the Holy Alliance, they also made efforts to make changes, such as the establishment of the famous Goblin Academy and recruiting students. Although their enthusiasm for gold coins has not diminished in the slightest, they still prefer peace to the war-torn times, and they agree with the Temple of Order's approach to the transmission of knowledge.
Mr. Vavagula was stepping on the dazzling barrier, floating in front of the podium, and for his height, he was wearing an extraordinarily long robe. He stretched out a jagged finger and said in the high, thin voice of the goblins, "Before the class begins, ask the students to look up at the ceiling." ”
Morin looked up and saw a chaotic scene at the top of the circular classroom, shapes of various lines, hundreds of spinning stars, twisted dials and falling leaves.
"You've already taken a section on Professor Anna's history of magic, and she should have emphasized the impact of words on our civilization and how we can pass on the experience of generations. The sharp-nosed goblin teacher said with a fluttering eyebrow, "And in this lesson, we are teaching another kind of things that help us understand the world, units and calculations. ”
"Units, so that we can look at things quantitatively, time, weight, volume, strength, temperature, distance, speed, magic capacity, magic strength, too much, too much......" He snapped his fingers several times, and said one by one: "Before the unit, we only perceive things through the feelings of the supervisor, but even if the spiritual strength is strong, his perception will still fluctuate, and it will be affected by strength, mood, state, and other factors. People talk about the power of the same fireball, some people will say that it is strong, others will think it is weak, and communication is not yet possible, let alone in-depth research. ”
Increasingly, people used an objective way of describing it: quantitative units. Vava snapped his fingers, and a flashing word flashed in the air: "Quantitative", "Just like the widespread use of lingua franca, the efforts of the people eventually led to the establishment of a unified system of units, known as the Kgris system of units." ”
"Remember the name!"
"In the next academic year, you will learn about all the units in the Kgris system, their transformation and analysis, the process and why they were established. ”
"And the other half of the course, calculations, will be more important and more difficult. Through numbers and units, we can objectively describe the changes and processes of nature and, more importantly, the creation of magic models. ”
Finally mentioning magic, Morin suddenly came to his senses.
"When the first scholars studied magic, they often searched for and improved stable spell models based on flashes of light and vague feelings, but as spell models gradually became more complex, mages began to find that this method was progressing too slowly, so they began to use calculations, through purely theoretical calculations and research, to find the most accurate way to improve the model. Later, a complete system was formed, and this calculation method was used more and more in other aspects, such as magic machines, magic cards, commercial transportation, etc. ”
"So, this will be one of the most basic courses for you, especially those who want to enter the Classical Mage School or the Mechanics and Manufacturing School. The sharp-nosed teacher concluded.
"Now, look at the blackboard," he snapped his fingers again, and there were many more operations on the otherwise empty blackboard.
"I know that you, especially the children of some aristocratic families, may have been exposed to this knowledge, and now I will give you a chance," Vavaqua said, "The first student to get these lines correctly will receive extra points, which can also be exchanged for an equal amount of gold coins!"
Marcus was obviously no stranger to this, and had already taken out his pen and paper and began to calculate.
Tilna looked at a book to herself, the only course she didn't pass was magic perception, and as for these classes, she only came to accompany a few of her freshmen to listen to the class, and did not take the initiative to answer questions or get extra points.
As for the remaining three, Maureen, Emino, and Barron, they were all confused.
Daddy Pike's bookshelf did have a collection of books on this, and the boy had read a few of them, but the problem was that he only memorized those strange-looking equations, and although he memorized calculations or anything in his head, he never took the slightest effort to understand them, and naturally he didn't know them at all.
There were a total of five questions on the blackboard, and Alice, who was sitting on the other side of the classroom, had already reported the answer to the first question: "Forty-seven." ”
"Correct, plus one point. The sharp-nosed teacher said.
Marcus snorted in annoyance and hurried to the second question.
And at this moment, Mo Lin felt that in the ring marks of his middle finger, Xiao Hei suddenly heard a series of sounds.
Instead of the vague meaning of the past, this time it is five numbers that are clearly expressed: forty-seven, two and a half, five thousand and fifty, zero, one and six hundred and eight thousandths.
I looked at the questions on the blackboard, there were exactly five questions, what is this ......?
The young man was stunned, could it be the answer to these five questions?
