Almost every larger fort has a mechanical academy, because mechanical technology is the source of Terran strength.

Whether the owner of a fortress has any ambition can be glimpsed from the amount of money and materials he has invested in the mechanical college.

Of course, Verandu had just become the lord of the castle, and his territory had not made any particularly big moves recently, and ordinary people could not see the mind of this young castle lord.

Of course, there are also mechanical academies in his territory, there are two in total, one in the Blue Stone Fort and one in the Wolf Castle, and the young student who proposed the possibility of the existence of the 'Super Magic Source' this time is in the academy of the Blue Stone Castle.

The academy of the Blue Stone Fort is called the Blue Castle because the blue of the outer walls of the college buildings is darker than the high walls of the castle, giving it its name.

The Blue Castle is located in the interior of the Blue Stone Fort, covering an area of not much, only more than 300 square meters, the outer wall looks a little dilapidated, and the interior furnishings and various test equipment also show obvious obsolescence.

There are not many students and tutors in the academy, there are only forty people in the academy, and there are only three mentors.

Before Verando, the owners of the previous generations of Blue Stone Castle certainly knew that the academy was important, but the mechanical research of the academy required a lot of money, and it did not necessarily have a return, plus the fortress fought with the Wolf Castle for many years, and the funds were already very tight, so the investment in the academy became less and less after several castle masters.

The less investment, the less likely the academy is to produce results, which makes the castle owner's attention to the academy continue to decline, and the investment is even lower, so that a vicious circle is created.

In fact, as far as Rollin knows. This was true not only of Bluestone Castle, but also of Wolf Castle and other fortresses he knew.

The dynamism of mechanical technology is fading.

Naturally, this is also a good thing for the Lord of Darkness.

But this time. Rollin had only succeeded to the throne for a few months, and such a result broke out in the Blue Castle, which was simply a relief in the snow, and in the dark, Rollin felt the help of the power of the world's origin.

The name of the Son of the World is not called in vain, although the power cannot break through the ordinary. But the luck was absolutely good.

There is a saying on the earth: 'Heaven and earth are united in time', which refers to the current situation of Lorraine.

He was now in the hall of knowledge in the Blue Castle, where he saw the young student who had come up with the theory.

This man's name was Phydos. He is 23 years old this year, pale, thin, and less than 1.6 meters tall. It's a bit shorter than Verando. He was wearing a wide bachelor's robe, and his whole body looked empty, as if he would fly when the wind blows.

Luo Lin didn't expect this student to be so thin, looking at him like this, his body was weak, and his pale face was faintly blue, as if he couldn't eat enough all year round.

Luo Lin looked carefully at the other scholars in the hall, and found that more than fifty people, including the tutor, were all about the same thin appearance. There were dishes on their faces, and many of the Bachelors had patches on their robes.

This scene made Rollin sigh slightly. At that time, the Truth Academy in the Holy Land of Sigfors, the scholars in it were worshipped as gods, especially the first dean of the academy, Eloin, who was even known as a saint, and even King Alwyn had to respect and courtesy, and did not dare to despise his advice.

Unexpectedly, in just ten years of war, this group of bachelors has fallen into this state.

Luo Lin Momo saw all this, but his face did not show any emotion, he held this Phidos calculus manuscript in his hand, and looked through the pages one by one, reading very carefully.

When he had finished reading, he said to Phedos: "You said that there is a strange substance in the world, and as long as it is triggered in the right way, it can become a source of magic and release endless magic. I've seen your calculations, it's complicated, I can't understand the process, but in the conclusion, you describe the source of the magic as 'incomparable, incredible!', and I'm very interested in that. I would like to ask, how do you know for sure that this strange substance exists? ”

Phydos rubbed his hands as thin as chicken feet in embarrassment, licked his dry bloodless lips with his tongue, and stammered, "That's right." Although I didn't find this strange substance directly, I did find some indirect signs of its existence. It's like sunlight, we all know that white sunlight can be divided into many colorful colors, and in addition to red light, there is a kind of warm light that we can't see, and our eyes can't see this infrared light, but the abnormal temperature rise of the thermometer used as a control can tell us that they do exist, and I just found similar evidence, yes"

At first, he stuttered a little, but as he spoke, he became immersed in his own world, speaking faster and faster, his accent becoming more and more indistinct, and a lot of very technical words popping up.

Many of the scholars around them were listening at first, but their brows furrowed more and more, and they looked like they were struggling, as if they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Fidos's thoughts.

When it came to the back, no one in the entire hall of knowledge could keep up with the rhythm of Fidos's thinking, and this guy was not so much explaining to Rollin as he was dreaming.

One of the guards beside Rollin frowned, trying to stop this Phydos from continuing to go insane, but Rollin reached out to stop him, and he said softly, "Listen to him." ”

In this great hall, he was the only one who could capture the brilliance of this Phedos's thinking, no, God to be exact.

Although Phydos's eloquence is terrible, the logic of his presentation is very rigorous, and it is full of a concise beauty.

From these vague chatter, Rollin saw the brilliant light of truth flowing through it.

Half an hour later, Phydos finished speaking, he was not a fool, and when he withdrew from the frenzy, when he saw the confused faces of the people around him, he knew that no one understood his words at all.

This discovery made this little man's face more and more pale and transparent, even these fellow bachelors couldn't understand his words, so the castle lord must be even more incomprehensible, in the face of something he didn't understand at all, why did the castle lord give him financial support?

'Ah, what a stupid mouth I have!' Fidos also saw the obvious disdain on the faces of the guards around the castle lord, and his heart became more and more depressed, and he wanted to slap his mouth.

The bachelors in their academy can't even eat, and they really need the financial support of the castle master, and they originally thought that the discovery of this super magic source could arouse the castle master's interest, but now it seems that this hope is not much.

Just when he was about to cry in frustration, Rollin spoke, he patted the calculation paper in his hand lightly, and smiled gently: "I have read Pritokon's History of the Holy Land, which describes Saint Eloin. According to the history books, Aroin was a wooden-demented dwarf, and when he entered the Truth Academy, he was a lowly servant of the Giants. Now, you don't seem to be smarter than Eloin. ”

Phydos didn't understand the meaning of Rollin's words, he thought it was a mockery, and said in fear: "No, no, no, the wisdom of the saints is like the sea, how dare I compare with him." Castle Master, don't laugh at me. ”

The surrounding scholars also showed disappointment on their faces, really, they thought that Phydos should be able to help the academy get a sum of money for experiments with the gimmick of 'Super Magic Source' this time, so that they could continue experimenting, and if they could find the strange matter predicted by the mathematical formula, then they could turn over!

But now, it seems that this good expectation is about to come to naught.

But at this moment, their young castle lord shook his head and said with a smile: "To be honest, I didn't understand much of you, but that doesn't prevent me from recognizing the value of this discovery. In this way, for the next five years, I will invest 1,000 gold coins in this academy every year, and if anyone can find the strange substance predicted by the theory, I will reward it with an additional 200 gold coins! ”

At this time, the Holy Land is in troubled times, and the gold in troubled times is expensive, and the purchasing power of 1 gold coin here is about equivalent to 10,000 US dollars at the end of the twenties, and 1,000 gold coins is an absolute huge amount of money!

Phydos opened his eyes wide, looked at the castle lord in front of him with his mouth open, and was speechless for a moment, even in his most exaggerated expectations, he did not expect to receive a huge sum of 1,000 gold coins.

"Castle Master, this," Fidos was speechless.

Luo Lin waved his hand: "The first batch of funds will arrive tomorrow, your conditions here are too simple, change this place well, your clothes will be changed, and you will have to eat enough for every meal, don't save these." I don't want my fellow scholars to go hungry and freeze in search of new strength for me. ”

The "castle master" sensual bachelor's eyes turned red, and some female bachelors even cried, and finally, the castle lord finally began to pay attention to them.

Naturally Luo Lin did not show sentimentality, he returned the calculation manuscript to Fedos, patted the young bachelor's thin shoulder, and his tone was a little heavy: "The Holy Land is difficult, all sides are fighting, and the situation in the territory is not optimistic, I only hope that the 'super magic source' you mentioned will not come too late." ”

It was this heaviness that stirred up the fire in Phidos's heart.

Of course, he knows the situation of the territory, and everyone has a hard time when they fight every year, and all the gold coins of the castle lord are used to improve the force, and in this case, this Verando promises to allocate 1,000 gold coins a year He knows that the income of the territory in a year definitely does not exceed 10,000 gold coins.

He felt the responsibility on his shoulders, and this responsibility did not crush him, but he rose to the challenge, and promised loudly: "Don't worry, lord of the castle, I will not let you down!" ”

"I believe in you." The corners of Luo Lin's lips curled slightly, and although he was young but very resolute, there was a hint of softness on his face, full of strange charm that made people's hearts break.

At this moment, Fidos realized in his heart that his future life would be full of burning passion. The castle lord gave his promise, and he will definitely fulfill his promise! (To be continued......)
