Evan laughed and said, "You're always so funny. But alas, no. At this point, he paused, obviously thinking about a way to win the trust of the two, but to no avail, and continued: "At this time, I don't believe the two of them, so it's better to let the facts speak, how about it?"

"In case Crocodile Collar sells metal and incurs bad consequences, how can this 'speak for the truth'?" asked Ice Lotus angrily.

"And how about the first business with the McShaler family?"

It was another unfamiliar family name, Jiao Ming didn't feel anything, it was similar to the wind in his ears, but Binglian was so shocked that she covered her mouth, so she didn't scream, and asked, "Are you from the Maishale family?"

Evan nodded unabashedly, no longer as secretive as he used to be.

"How many heirs?" didn't know what he was thinking, Jiao Ming asked uncontrollably.

"Thirty-one when school started, but now it's twenty-nine, and the life of a fire mage is not as hard as that of a water mage. Evan shrugged, his usual smile on his face that made it impossible to tell the joy or sorrow.

Jiao Ming's mind flashed the bloody plot in the TV series, and for no reason he thought that this thing had anything to do with the death of these two people, but then he felt that he still needed to kill more than 20 people to inherit the family in a legitimate way.

While Jiao Ming was playing the in-brain reasoning game, Binglian had reached an agreement with Evan to jointly sell the metal. Judging from the specific way of this business cooperation, Evan or the McShaler family behind it is quite sincere, and it is not a coercive carte carte carte pedigree sales, and the crocodile collar can talk directly to the buyer, so at least in terms of price, there is no trick.

At the end of the topic, Binglian proposed a new cooperation project, that is, building a house. The location is next to the castle manor outside the city, and the reinforced concrete structure is adopted by Jiao Ming, and the cement and sand stone are provided by the crocodile collar, and the reinforced skeleton is shipped by the crocodile collar with the McShaler family, which is counted as an appetizer for the large-scale cooperation.

When it came to this, it was already school time, and the three of them continued to talk on the carriage back to the castle, but the topic returned to the information in Jiao Ming's hands. With the attitude of reading gossip and gloating, reading through the information, Jiao Ming even had a feeling of traveling back to the earth, and the many joys and sorrows caused by this price drop were really familiar. And in the end, Jiao Ming finally asked a question that he had been puzzled for a long time: "Evan, what do you mean by showing us this?"

"Interesting, isn't it?" said Evan.

Binglian was noncommittal, but Jiao Ming nodded.

"I also thought it was funny, so I took it out and shared it with my friends and had fun together. Evan paused, and added, "As for the intelligence fee, of course, it is completely free, after all, we have recently been in the period of price reduction. ”

In line with the principle of 'don't be too big to eat dates for nothing', Jiao Ming did not raise any doubts about this. And then, as he said, Evan not only asked Dieda to send Jiao Ming a piece of lace news about the unlucky bankruptcy of major families or high-ring magicians selling houses and land, but also the construction of a new frame structure of reinforced concrete buildings. By the way, Jiao Ming also privately asked about the background of the Ice Lotus Maishale family, and only then did he know that it was actually the third-ranked family in the alchemist lineage.

"I can't see that Evan is hiding this thing. Jiao Ming sighed, although he knew that Evan was born in the line of alchemists, but he didn't expect it to be the top three families, and then asked, "Then how many rings do you guess he has in the fire system?"

When she first met Evan in the crocodile collar, Binglian guessed that this three-ring water system magic warrior was just a disguise, and there was a series around the fifth ring, at this time, Evan's family background was public, and the other was undoubtedly a fire system, but the number of rings was still doubtful.

"Five rings and six rings are possible. Binglian hesitated, not sure.

It can't be the Seven Rings, such a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, and Jiao Ming immediately shook his head in denial. If that's the case, Evan is probably a genius on the same level as Emily, and considering that he takes time to deal with family affairs and has a lot of emotional intelligence in dealing with people, he is even better than Emily.

Although the three-ring and four-ring magic craftsmen recruited from Blue Python City cautiously questioned the drawings drawn by Jiao Ming, they still started work as required. However, these people don't have the ability of the mage Guild Gaohuan mage to build a mage tower in one day, and they are busy with tinkling, but fortunately, they will not be working overnight, and it will not affect Emily and Jiao Ming's spatial magic research at night.

When the new house was halfway built, the teleportation circle of the master and apprentice duo made a major breakthrough and entered the actual testing stage. Jiao Ming personally ran to the front line with his things, completed the construction of the magic circle, and then used the live sheep as usual to 'blood sacrifice', but unfortunately, the teleportation failed and the live sheep was nowhere to be found, which was probably a worse death than being divided.

Emily stayed up for three nights with the head of the chicken nest on her head, and she didn't understand where the live sheep went, so she had no choice but to reduce the teleportation distance, set the teleportation point in the crocodile collar, disassemble and install it again, and then lose the two live sheep again.

"What should I do?" Jiao Ming asked, but seeing that Emily was also at a loss, he suggested softly: "It's better to increase the amount of metal materials to improve stability, I have inside information, and the price of metal will continue to drop." ”

The fundamental purpose of this research is to narrow the relationship with Sasu, and to reduce the cost of the gray-robed students returning to school to slap the faces of the children of the nobility. At this time, the amount of metal used in the traditional teleportation array is already able to smile at Sasu's old face, and considering the impact of metal price reduction, the cost of setting up and operating the teleportation array is enough to impress the school and the parents of the students who want their son Jackie Chan.

"I can't push the theoretical limit, I'm not reconciled. Emily sighed, but that was already revealing a wavering compromise. But after a short silence in the laboratory, there was a crisp sound of 'pop', and Jiao Ming, who was immersed in drawing, was startled, and when he turned around, he saw Emily rubbing his red right palm, and saw that the posture was slapping the table too hard.

"You're old ...... Itchy hands?" After confirming that everything was fine, Jiao Ming teased.

Emily snorted coldly, but said something that made Jiao Ming almost vomit blood: "Tear down and redo!"

"Isn't it, right?"

"Teleportation is not my forte, and now that I look back at the most fundamental framework, there is a big problem, and I have a little understanding of that rune, so I might as well take this opportunity to try to fit in. ”

"The rune that I showed you last time?" Jiao Ming asked in surprise.

"Where are there other runes. Emily asked angrily, and continued, "I've already inquired within the Wizards' Guild, and that may be the last research result of Master Borbay before his death." ”

Jiao Ming secretly wrote down the name, ready to wait for Evan to ask for information, and then a look fell on the assistant in the corner. Emily slapped her forehead and remembered the matter of secrecy.

The three assistants didn't feel unusual, after all, the wizard's circle was normal, and they left obediently at Emily's signal. When the assistant left, Jiao Ming hesitated, but decided to take out the silver ring, but before that, he had to make sure of one thing, "Regarding the comprehension of runes, can you tell the apprentice?"

Emily smiled and asked, "Are you sure you can understand?"

"I'm going to try to memorize it and grasp it later. Jiao Ming said with a pen and paper in his hand, looking impatient.

Emily nodded with satisfaction, and then said what she understood in her heart without concealment, but Jiao Ming only understood about twenty percent, but one thing caught Jiao Ming's attention, "You mean, this rune is a three-dimensional thing 'landing' on paper?"

"I'm guessing, probably, not sure. Emily's eyes lit up and she asked, "Do you have any thoughts on this?" Tell me about it, and if it inspires me, I'll give you a reward!"

However, Jiao Ming, who is familiar with it, knows that this is purely a joke, and Emily is quite conservative in this regard. Clearing away a trace of distraction in his heart, he coughed lightly to remind Emily to pay attention to the image, and then Jiao Ming floated a few pens under the magic lamp, and the random configuration left meaningless geometric shadows on the concrete floor under the light.

"Like this?"

"Yes, yes, your wit is back?" Emily clapped her hands in admiration, although her words were slightly derogatory, but she was also obviously satisfied that Jiao Ming understood what she meant accurately.

"Let me think about it. In Emily's expectant gaze, Jiao Ming turned his brain, and the first thing that came to mind was the crocodile duke's biceps. At that time, although it was only a cursory glance, the glare effect was really memorable, it was indeed an irregular three-dimensional configuration. In terms of complexity, it is probably a little more difficult to describe than a cube composed of twelve flutes, and there are curves, but not as complex as carbon 60.

Then I remembered a popular science video I had watched, which was probably based on the image left by a three-dimensional cube when it passed through a two-dimensional plane, and imagined the image that a four-dimensional geometry might leave when it passed through a three-dimensional space. Thinking of this, Jiao Ming did not shy away from taking out the silver ring, looking at the somewhat disgusting fingerprint-like lines that slowly squirmed on it, and had some conjectures.

"Finally willing to bring out your little secret?" asked Emily with a smile.

"I can't hide it from you. Although Jiao Ming was slightly surprised, he felt that he was not surprised. The Master of the Eight Rings is not so easy to deceive, he has been together for so long, and he has borrowed this thing many times to cast teleportation magic, and it is inevitable that he will be discovered.

"The four-ring qi magician can teleport over a long distance, even if the vines are magical, it is impossible. But it's normal to have a little secret or something, so I'm too lazy to ask. Emily said this, but her eyes were already fixed on the silver ring, and she continued, "Tell me about it?"

"The name is unknown, but the function is to strengthen communication with the air magic medium, and at the same time, it allows me to cast some air magic with a higher ring number, and the most amazing thing is that it can also penetrate the walls of Sicordon. Jiao Ming said as he handed the silver ring to Emily, pointing to the lines on it to remind him to pay attention.

"Aren't you afraid of borrowing and not repaying?" Emily looked surprised, a little incredulous at such trust.

"Now that it's been taken out, what's polite. And you can try it, I've used it in Crocodile Collar with other air mages, but it doesn't have an effect. Jiao Ming shrugged, looking unconcerned, and continued: "If you can use it and like it, it doesn't hurt to give it to you." ”

Emily stared at Jiao Ming's face, judging whether this was true or false, and after a few seconds, she didn't seem to have a satisfactory answer, and shook her head helplessly, "Tell me how to use it." ”

"Just take it. ”

Emily did as she said, and cast a small magic spell, but it had no effect, and another long-distance teleportation magic cast it, but it still had no effect. Jiao Ming pointed to the ground. After a few seconds, Emily shook her head, "Blocked by the Wall of Siccuton." Then he frowned, and said suspiciously, "You're not going to make a little toy to fool me, are you?"

"How dare the apprentices. Jiao Ming looked aggrieved, but he couldn't think of a way to prove himself, after all, the contrast effect formed by taking or not taking it could not rule out the factor of subjective force.

"I'll put this aside and tell me what I just thought of. Emily returned the silver ring, bringing the conversation back.

"How much do you know about the Sage's Learning?"

Emily shook her head honestly.

"There's a science called geometry, have you ever heard of it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point!"

Jiao Ming coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment, then started from the parallel lines, quickly advanced to the preliminary three-dimensional geometry, and then glued a regular cube out with wooden strips, and floated under the light and slowly rotated, observing the regular changing shadows on the ground with Emily.

"I can't imagine that the study of the sage can be of such use. ”

"It would be helpful if it helped you understand the mysteries of the runes. ”

Emily groaned for a while, habitually grabbing her hair more messily, and didn't know what she realized, and asked, "If this is the so-called three-dimensional geometry projection into a two-dimensional plane, what does the four-dimensional geometry you just mentioned look like when projected into three-dimensional space?"

"It's complicated, and I haven't learned it. Jiao Ming shrugged helplessly, "After all, the four-dimensional space is completely beyond my cognition of this world, and I can't build a model in my mind, only a mess." ”

Emily nodded, with a sympathetic expression, and then said that Jiao Ming was infected and followed one. The two looked at each other and smiled, Emily put away the scratch paper that explained geometry, and said, "That's all for tonight, I'll take these sage studies and study them slowly, and rest." ”

Then, not long after the new scheme was tried, it was overturned again because Emily had an understanding of solid geometry. As a disciple, Jiao Ming was bitter in his heart, but he could only obey and work hard. Then, inadvertently, from the small talk of the Huang Xia Zimang sisters and brothers, I learned that the autumn harvest of the crocodile collar had begun, and the autumn harvest celebration was ten days later.

, Lao Tzu is about to get married? This is the only thought in Jiao Ming's heart, and in a trance, he picked a large piece of the iron plate wrong, which provoked Emily's reprimand.

After having lunch the next day, Jiao Ming twisted for a long time, and finally asked, "Speaking of the autumn harvest celebration, do you need to prepare anything in advance?"

Binglian's face suddenly turned red, and she stumbled and said, "No...... No, the etiquette is done in the winter, so just go back. ”
