Sigfoss, Truth College.

Although it is an academy, it is actually just a large courtyard surrounded by a circle of bungalows next to the temple of life, the courtyard is round, with a diameter of more than fifty meters, and there is a statue of the goddess of life in the middle.

At the top of the courtyard, there is a stone hall, which is called the Hall of Knowledge.

The hall is full of tables and chairs, and this is where classes are held. On one side of the hall there is a door that leads directly to the Temple of Life, through which the beautiful and holy Divine Envoy will come out and explain the so-called truth to the 43 halfling apprentices whenever the lecture begins.

At this time, which was also the happiest moment for the halfling Aroin, he was fascinated by the knowledge explained by the divine envoy, and he felt that his life was being illuminated little by little by the light of this knowledge, and the dark obscurantism in his mind was constantly being banished.

The halfling cherished every day at the Academy, greedily absorbing the knowledge imparted by the oracle, and for this reason, he almost went crazy, sleeping only four hours a day. As long as he is awake, his mind is full of all kinds of whimsical ideas ignited by knowledge.

On this morning, as usual, half an hour before the start of the class, the halflings had already filled the hall, patiently waiting for the arrival of the oracle.

Of course, they didn't wait, and while they waited, everyone was quietly discussing what they had learned these days.

Beside Eloin sat a friend he had known these days, named Monshica, a halfling who was only slightly taller than him, and the two were also talking.

Arrown took a fine charcoal pen and carefully wrote in the corner of the clean sheep's skin, and said softly, "I've been thinking about the principle of leverage these days. I came up with a brilliant idea, you see this. ”

He gently drew an intricate wooden frame on the hide, and the technique had to be light. Otherwise, the carbon will penetrate into the sheep hide, which will be difficult to clean, and the hide is very precious and can not be wasted.

Monjika looked at the numbers marked on the wooden shelf, and immediately understood, and his eyes lit up: "Very ingenious design. With this method, it doesn't take much effort to throw the stone at a very high speed. And we just need to gently pull the rope here, and the big boulder that is a falling object will fall freely, hmm~ Let me see and calculate the power of this thing. Hmm~ If it's smooth enough here, forget it, it's too complicated to calculate at all. ”

They have just been studying for less than two months and have just been enlightened. Most people can't cope with such calculations. But it doesn't include Eloin.

The thin charcoal pen in Aroin's hand deftly jumped over the hide, listing lines of calculations: "Actually, it's not that difficult. If we ignore the resistance of the axis of rotation and some small wind resistance, establish an ideal model, using the law of conservation of energy and the principle of mechanical conversion, when 300 kilograms of stones fall from a height of 5 meters, it will be able to propelle the 50 kilograms to fly out at a speed of 40 meters at an elevation angle of 45 degrees. It will be able to fly up to 160 meters away. ”

The halfling's friend, Monshika, looked at the truth jumping on the hide, and couldn't help but admire: "Eloin. You're amazing. ”

Aroin didn't take this admiration seriously at all, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. The preparation of this thing was too long, the distance was too close, and the stone thrown out was too small to deal with the abyssal beast. ”

Monshika's eyes widened, he really wanted to see what his friend's little brain was thinking, such a small thing, he tried to use such a wooden frame to deal with the abyss beast, isn't it a bad head?

"I must say, Eloin, you're crazy." He commented.

"Why not?" Eloin asked, "The oracle said that as long as there is a fulcrum, using this kind of leverage, you can even pry the entire world, what is an abyss beast?" ”

"That's what the gods do, we're mortals, no, just thin halflings." Monshika felt that his friend was already a little unreasonable.

"There is no distinction between gods and mortals in truth. It hides in the mist, but as long as you find it, it can be used to you. Aroin retorted, then added, "This is from the mouth of the divine envoy himself." ”

Monjica was speechless.

At this time, the conversation between the two attracted a halfling man next to him, and he looked at the drawings and calculations written on the skin of Arrow, and was immediately attracted to all his attention. It took him a moment before he introduced himself to Eloin, "My name is Albert, and I just heard that you want to use this thing against the Abyss Behemoth?" ”

"Just an immature idea." Eloin nodded shyly, although he had been here for two months, he didn't know people very well, and when facing strangers, Eloin was not casual in front of his friend Monshica.

But he didn't expect this halfling named Albert to be very familiar, he sat next to Eloin, took his own animal skin, spread it on the table, and said with a smile: "I overheard what you just said, you said that just throwing stones is not enough, so why don't we throw stones, how about throwing this?" ”

Albert spread out the hide in his hand, and a circular sphere was drawn on it, and he could see that the ball contained something: "Look, this is a clay pot with that kind of black oil that burns, and throw it out." You see, I've got a flint for fire here, and when the clay pot is smashed, it catches fire and ignites the black oil. You know, the fire that comes out of the ground is very violent. I think that thirty kilograms of black oil, as you said, should make the abyssal beast feel pain. ”

"Just the pain?" Monjica was a little disappointed, he thought he could finish the beast with one blow.

But Eloin didn't think so, his eyes lit up, and his heart thumped: "If there is pain, it means that the other party is injured." If you can hurt, you can kill. We can look for more powerful oil, make a wooden shelf to throw farther away, and if we can throw it a kilometer away, we can use the curve of the parabolic object to throw the oil into the lair of the giant beast across a mountain. Those stupid guys definitely don't know who's smashing him! ”

Albert's heart was so excited that he couldn't help laughing, and he patted Eloon on the back vigorously: "Hey, how do you guys have a brain." That's a brilliant idea! ”

Arrow's mind was still clear. He shook his head lightly and said, "Although the principle is simple, it is very difficult to make it. For example, I don't know of any wood that is strong enough to withstand the tremendous force of it. ”

"How's Blackreef Steelwood?" A new halfling joined in and offered his proposal.

"Black Reef Steelwood? It should be sturdy enough. But how do you make it what you want? Eloin said, he knew that this wood was very hard. With the strength of a halfling, he could not even smash the bark of this steel wood with a sharp stone.

The halfling laughed, and he took his hide, which had a strange model on it: "I call it a saw, and it is pulled repeatedly by two people, one after the other." The saw blade is made of dolis lazuli chips, which are harder than steel wood, and believe me, it will definitely be able to sawn through steel and wood. Before coming to the academy. I tried it myself. ”

Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high, and the method that Eloin came up with to fight the abyssal beasts with trebuchets gathered the best halflings in the entire academy at once.

A weak halfling, using the knowledge taught by the oracle, to fight against the most terrifying creatures in the abyss. It's crazy just to think about. But it made these halflings feel their blood boiling inexplicably.

When Eren reached the door of the hall, her sense of consciousness allowed her to see that the halflings in the hall were gathering together to discuss something, and each halfling was filled with an indescribable vitality.

She didn't say anything, just stood outside the door and listened quietly. After listening for a while, a smile appeared on her face, she didn't expect some of the basics she had taught to bear fruit so quickly.

Kill the Abyssal Behemoth with the fire projectiles from the trebuchet? These little are really daring to think, but I have to say, if the fire bomb is powerful enough. The trebuchet's range is long enough that it's not impossible to safely kill the Abyssal Behemoth.

Alan listened outside the door for a while. The crux of the problem is that these halflings, although they have good ideas, lack a key material. This material made them encounter great difficulties in the process of building trebuchets, and although it cannot be said that it is completely impossible to solve, the solution is very inefficient.

For example, using cloud lapis stone flakes to sawn off the black reef steel wood, with the strength of a halfling, a half-meter-thick steel tree must be sawed for half a month to be sawed off, which is simply a kind of torture.

After thinking about it, Alan already had an idea in her mind, she walked into the hall, and when these panicked halflings returned to their seats in a nervous mood, she showed a gentle smile on her face, and said softly: "Today's lesson is: alchemy. That is, how to use fire to extract wonderful stone essence from the stones of nature. ”

As she spoke, an ordinary steel dagger appeared in Allen's hand, she took the steel dagger, and gently slashed it on the wooden table, and with a 'poof' sound, the steel dagger cut off the corner of the wooden table, the incision was smooth, and the steel dagger was not damaged at all.

"Oh~" This exquisite weapon and its powerful power caused the halflings to be amazed, and their hearts were extremely thirsty for the so-called 'alchemy' knowledge.

There were keen halflings, like Eloin, who had sensed that this might be the high-strength material he had always wanted.

There was a light in his eyes, and he was attentive, not letting go of a word or action that Allen said.

Fire appeared again in one of Alan's hands, this fire was condensed by divine power, but it was exactly the same as the flame from burning wood, but after the flame wrapped around the dagger, the dagger began to turn red, then white, and finally, in the exclamation of the halfling, it melted, and the molten fiery red liquid emitted a wave of heat, and it flowed into a clay bowl on the table.

"What will happen?" Alan asked his apprentice.

"What will happen?" The halflings were full of the same questions, and their eyes were fixed on the mud bowl for a moment.

Under the attention of the halfling, the so-called 'stone spirit' in the clay bowl began to cool, and the color changed from white to dark red and then to steel gray. In the end, Alan picked up the clay bowl that had cooled and slammed it on the ground, and the clay bowl shattered, but the stone spirit inside was intact.

"Pick it up and take a closer look." Alan laughed.

The nearest halfling immediately picked up the piece of iron, looked at it carefully, and bit it with his teeth, almost knocking his teeth out. Soon, the halflings all gathered over, looking at this magical stone spirit, and sighed in admiration, as if they had seen an artifact.

Aroin had also touched it, and the first time he knew, this was the material he had always dreamed of.

At this moment, the voice of Allen sounded again: "Fire, some alchemy materials, can help you refine stone essence from specific stones. And this stone spirit in your hands, I call it 'iron'. What I'm going to teach today is how to identify stones that contain iron, how to extract iron from these stones, and finally, how to make that iron better. ”

This sentence hooked out the curiosity in the hearts of every halfling, and a blazing flame of knowledge ignited in everyone's heart.

For them, there was a door in front of them that was slowly opening in words, and the mere glimmer of light leaking from the crack in the open door was enough to intoxicate them.

"Behind the gates, there must be the kingdom of God!" Arrow's blood boiled

While the halflings in the Academy of Truth greedily absorb the knowledge of the gods, Rollin, the guardian of the Holy Land, is patrolling the sky outside the Holy Land.

He looked at the dark abyss outside the Holy Land, and about a hundred kilometers away, the expanding Holy Land would come into contact with the territory of the three Tyrannosaurus Rex-level Abyss Lords on the same day. At that time, three abyssal beasts will attack the Holy Land at the same time.

Luo Lin's eyes narrowed slightly: "The period of peaceful development is coming to an end, and the real test is coming." (To be continued......)
