Today is the day of the second round of funding review and defense.
The door opened automatically, Sigma straightened his collar, and entered with the sound of steel boots hitting the ground, and when he looked back, the paladin Kelly also followed in with a big sting, looking like she was pestering you to the end.
Sigma frowned: "Presumptuous, dare to come in without paying four hundred and five." ”
The necromancer waved his hand at the steel golem guarding the door, "Come on, throw her out of me!" ”
"I'm here to sit in on the tour." Ji Li replied solemnly, "According to the regulations and inspection manuals, this is not a forbidden area, and I can come and go freely. ”
The steel golem guarding the door had a burst of blue light in his eyes, and finally fell silent, obviously recognizing Jili's authority, Sigma knew that arguing with the alchemy puppet was a very brainless thing, so he could only snort, out of sight and out of mind.
Ji Li first solemnly saluted several masters of the audit committee, and then walked to the auditorium, her body was tall, her posture was dignified, her expression was solemn, her movements were crisp and neat, and her delicate beautiful face and majestic posture were indeed very attractive.
Sigma ignored her and walked quickly to the oratorium, where his "easy-to-understand and easy-to-operate health care products" had been placed, which was the rule, after a round of application defense, the masters would conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the alchemy products provided by the applicants, and then ask questions in the second round of defense.
But...... A comprehensive assessment? Sigma looked at the few white-pale and weak reviewers, and speculated maliciously, what method did these old sticks use to study the practicality of this massage stick?
Thinking of this, he looked at the white jade massage stick in the box again, as if he thought of something, the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, and the hand that originally wanted to pick up the massage stick also retracted. He used his mana, released a telekinesis, grabbed the massage stick in the air, and squinted at the body to see if there were any weird clues.
The paladin's eyesight is obviously amazing, Ji Li saw the appearance of this thing clearly the moment the massage stick floated, first stunned for a moment, and then, the female knight obviously immediately thought of something, her eyes widened slightly, this expression showed the extremely shocked inner world of the three knights, and then, her breathing was obviously a little shorter, and the hands that were upright on her lap also trembled.
However, Sigma obviously didn't pay attention to Ji Li, he looked at the masters, raised his eyebrows, and activated the engraved magic array on the massage stick, so the thirty-centimeter short stick began to buzz and tremble, slowly rotated, swayed up and down, and the brilliance of the seven magic arrays lit up one after another: "Presumably the masters have already had a considerable understanding of this health care product, and engraved seven magic arrays on the thirty-centimeter, soft-textured short stick, I think this can already explain my special alchemy skills......"
The masters acquiesced in to Kelly's sinister intentions - on the premise of outsiders listening, of course, Sigma could not reveal his Death Knight plan at will, so this matter evolved into "Sigma made a very yellow and violent toy to cheat the academy's funds", under this premise, the masters can stand in a righteous and rational perspective to refute Sigma's shameless behavior and distorted thoughts, and with a little luck, they can also completely cut off Sigma's thoughts of not doing his job, Let this thing practice spells honestly, I have to say that the masters are really well-intentioned.
Sure enough, an alchemist began to make a move: "Your Highness Sigmar, I admit this...... The health care product is extremely elaborate in conception and the engraving technique is also very innovative, from a design point of view, this is undoubtedly a very delicate work, but the materials you use are scarce and expensive, don't you feel a bit wasteful to make a toy out of such precious materials? ”
Sigma was just about to respond, when another master's onslaught picked up just in time: "Toy? That's just playing with women's filth! This is not a qualified product, and what I see is not the work of a wise and rigorous alchemist, but the grandiose gadget of a child who is not doing his job! You're wasting your talents, and you're wasting each other's time! Your Highness Sigma, don't be unconvinced, you come to sue me, what is the meaning of such a thing except for the self-depraved nobles to play with women! ”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Sigma froze in place, as if he was being reprimanded by the master without scruples.
“…… Meaningful. Sigma lowered her head and said lightly, "Do you know what kind of emptiness and pain those husbands died on the battlefield but did not remarry, and raised the children alone?" If this little toy can make them miss their heavenly husband in the dead of night, taste the illusory but important moment of warmth, and have the courage to continue living alone, it will be meaningful. ”
Raising his head and looking at the masters, Sigma said calmly: "This little gadget of grandstanding in your mouth can make those who have lost their husbands but still decide to keep chastity for the sake of children, family, faith, and love, and can get the comfort of chastity when they are in pain of longing and emptiness of their bodies." It can make those young and beautiful girls who are full of longing and curiosity about the opposite sex not take a step to regret their lives because of a momentary impulse. It can make all the new alchemists who are confused about the road to the future understand that every alchemist who designs with kindness and respect is not superior or inferior, and the alchemist who makes war machines for the country and designs efficient waterwheels for the villagers may have a different division of labor and social status, but their careers are no different. ”
Sigma propped her hands on the defense table and looked at the three examiners of the review committee without flinching: "Why is it that a lightsaber can be a great work, while a massage stick is an obscene thing?" A prop used by a woman to solve her own needs will be criticized in this way, so what kind of blow and ridicule will be given to more crazy designs, theories that can subvert our traditional cognition, and more forward-looking concepts? ”
"IMHO." The necromancer said softly, "The greatest enemy hindering the progress of alchemy is not the barrenness of the living soil, nor the suppression of traditional magic, nor the jealousy of vested interests, but our own prejudice and arrogance. Unwilling to accept new things, unwilling to look at a single qiē rationally and fairly, unwilling to be a minority in opposition to the majority. Because we don't want to be outliers, we don't know if we can stick to our own path as always in the ridicule and negation of the majority......"
"But I am willing to stick to my idea, because I firmly believe that the mission of alchemy is not only to make more and more powerful magic items, but to make the world a better place, so that more people without talent can also have the opportunity to enjoy the blessings of magic and feel the power of magic to change the world." Sigma put her right hand on her chest and bowed deeply, "That's my answer." ”
There was a deathly silence in the defense hall, and the masters were amazed that Sigma could shamelessly make up so many nonsense and crooked reasoning, and Sigma was also groaning in his heart, I was so witty, obviously this defense was destined to be a bullshit to see who was more shameless, and it was obvious that Sigma seemed to have a slight advantage.
In the wordless silence, a rush of applause came from the audience, startling the masters and Sigma, the two sides turned their heads to look, but now Ji Li, who was in a state of soy sauce, stood up, with a blush of excitement on her face, clapped her hands excitedly, she looked at Sigma, her eyes were full of understanding and kindness, she didn't show herself, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
Sigma's first reaction was, this cold-faced iceberg female knight would actually laugh?
The second reaction was that this guy looks really good when he laughs.
The third reaction is...... Damn, this thing actually believes my nonsense!
The masters are also flipping the table in their hearts, this paladin is too simple!
The second round of defense ended in a hurry, Sigma walked out of the auditorium quickly, Jili followed behind her, her mood didn't seem to have calmed down, the female knight caught up with Sigma, and her voice was a little excited: "What an impressive speech, what hinders the progress of alchemy is our own pride and prejudice, this sentence is not only for alchemy......"
Sigma stopped, looked at Ji Li seriously, shook his head, and said, "No, it's not our pride and prejudice that hinders the progress of alchemy, I just said it nonsense. ”
"Oh?" Gilly wondered, "What's that?" ”
Sigma looked at her from afar, "It's our festival, girl." ”
