Chapter 5 Innovation across the ages

"Let's put aside some of Miss Rolona's basic mistakes."

When Rorona was gone, the Marquis shrugged his shoulders and turned back to Palbchiko and asked, "Tell me the truth, Lord Star Callerβ€”is there any value in this idea?" ”

"With all due respect, Lord Marquis Lyria, your mind is no better than Miss Rorona's."

Silver-haired Shota yawned and replied unceremoniously, "If her design doesn't have enough value, the first time I saw it, I tore up her flawed design and threw it in the gutter." The flawed markings and the surprising use of runes made me feel dizzy and my stomach hurt just by looking at it. ”

"Yes, yes...... What you're talking about......" Marquis Lyria smiled helplessly and nodded in response.

It's been more than ten days since I got along with this famous wizard. During this time, he deeply understood the sad situation of those young White Tower wizards.

and talent commensurate with prestige, the temper of the star caller is also legendary.

Although Su Ze's temper is not very good, unlike the Star Caller, the group of white bears in the tundra prefer to directly paste the bear's face rather than scolding people.

With such a grumpy mentor, you can imagine what kind of pain those wizard apprentices who are not skilled in their art will have to go through.

However, the Marquis of Lyria also knew that the Star Caller did not speak ill of his apprentices out of his own malice. His advice is like a sharp blade, cutting to the core of the problem with great precision, cutting out the most fatal mistakes for you.

This is the most speechless thing. Whenever the Star Caller starts spraying people, you'll find that he's always right. There's nothing more suffocating than someone scolding you more than someone else, but you can't find a word that can squirt back.

If nothing else, the Summoner's temper has something to do with his origins - as a wizard, they are always susceptible to their origins.

But fortunately, the Star Caller is just grumpy. His heart is kind.

At least in the teacher-student relationship, the star caller will never make things difficult for a person for personal reasons, let alone be jealous of a person's talent and do everything possible to him. Every apprentice who humbly accepts the advice of the Star Caller will eventually go further than those who stubbornly hate this "obnoxious white-haired dwarf". This excellent apprenticeship accumulated over hundreds of years has made him the most authoritative person in the entire White Tower.

However, now that the White Tower has collapsed, the authority of the Star Caller no longer exists.

As far as the outside world is concerned, the name of the Star Caller is not as loud as that of Anvilia, the "Strongest Witch on Earth", or Clavilai, the best friend of the Star Caller, the "Dream Walker". The former is a powerhouse that makes the entire god world jealous and does not dare to take the initiative to attack for hundreds of years, and a top-level powerhouse that can make tens of thousands of people petrified at the same time; And the latter is a top-level assassin who has assassinated a double-digit pope, and can even transcend the perception of a weapon master and directly behead people from thousands of miles away. The nature of Clavi's origins makes his assassination defenseless - unless you never sleep. In many local legends, Clavi's name is even used to scare disobedient children.

But anyone who knows even a little about the history of the White Tower will know the name Palbchiko the Starcaller.

As the most noble wizard mentor of the White Tower, the one who almost single-handedly supported the entire inheritance of the White Tower, Palbacko the Star Caller will always make those who have never met him imagine him as the kind of old man with a white beard that reaches to the ground, wears a heavy and intricate starry robe, and has a very kind smile.

But it wasn't until he actually met him in person that the Marquis of Lyria realized how unreliable the book was.

If it were other nobles, they would have been provoked by the Star Caller a long time ago. It is also Lyria, who is surprisingly gentle among the nobility that belongs to the anomaly, that can adapt to the violent temper of the star caller.

Thinking of this, he said, "So, if all the mistakes and omissions in Rorona's design are fixed...... What level of work do you think this is? ”

"-- This is a great work that spans the ages."

The Star Caller blurted out without hesitation.

Lyria couldn't help but laugh: "Oh? But you just trained Rorona to the point of crying. ”

"It has nothing to do with that."

Silver Hair Zhengtai shook his head and replied solemnly, "I should train her." If she does something wrong, I will discipline her, and it has nothing to do with where she is doing well. Lord Marquis, you must also know that excellence cannot make up for mistakes. If I don't discipline her, she will never have a long memory and will make the same mistake again in the future...... And as I said, the next time I'm not with her, she might get into some big trouble. I'm here for Rorona and for the innocent people. ”

"You're such a good teacher."

Marquis Lyria couldn't help but sigh.

The corners of the starcaller's mouth lifted, and he raised his little face, and said in a proud tone: "That's-my friend, and that's the only thing I want to praise you, it seems that you are not too confused." Of course, if you were a little smarter, you would have discovered this merit in me. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

The Marquis replied with a gentle smile, stepped forward, and spread out the blueprints that Rorona had spread out on the table.

Looking at the blueprints covered with dense runes and annotations, and the equally dense red pen scribbles of errors and corrections, Marquis Lyria realized once again how this ruthless creature had earned the respect of the wizards rather than the hatred of them.

Although he did not know any sorcery, the Marquis was fascinated by the curves, runes, and words that were imbued with human wisdom, and realized the beauty hidden in these boring runes.

Realizing that the Marquis was looking at the blueprints, the Star Caller also stepped forward, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said lightly in a flat tone that did not fit his character at all: "No need to look at the Marquis. You won't understand what a great invention this is. ”

"Please advise."

"I can't talk about advice...... I'll tell you about it in a way you can understand. What a remarkable and dangerous thing this alchemist hired by your family has invented? If you want me to say, this is even much better than that communicator that was popular in Baita some time ago. ”

"It's just a long, windmill-like waterwheel that converts water energy into some kind of solid energy and stores it...... But what is really valuable is not the value that this waterwheel itself can create, nor the power it detonates. ”

"In this, what is really valuable for the times is the kind of solid energy that is stable enough to be easily stored, transported, and used by anyone who has not studied witchcraft. I looked at the blueprints of Rorona, and with a slight improvement, the rate of extraction of this energy would increase exponentially, and any normal person would be able to operate it after a simple training session - you know what that means? ”

"Yes, you guessed it right. This means that people no longer have to cut down forests to keep warm in the winter, it means that the wizards who are supported can use witchcraft an unlimited number of times, it means that any ordinary person can use the inventions of wizards, it means that the energy of alchemical creations can be replenished without gems and energy crystals, which means that inventions that were previously limited to an audience and are not popular will be turned out in large numbers and put on the world stage. ”

Silver Hair is looking at the design plan steadily, and his right hand is subconsciously clenched.

He paused, and whispered in a hallucinatory voice, "This means...... The time of mortals has truly arrived. (To be continued.) )
