Chapter 014: Night Talk
The two of them returned to the place where the yellow mud wall was built, and the yellow mud wall was built for another section. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this time Jiao Ming roughly calculated the volume of this section of the wall, about six meters long, one and a half meters high, thirty to forty centimeters thick, estimated to be three or four cubic meters.
Under the heat generated by the magic process, the thermal expansion of such a large volume will be uneven, and it will produce a huge internal deformation, which will not crack and disintegrate. Sure enough, after the ice lotus cast the magic again, this section of the wall turned red, and when the faint steam dispersed, huge cracks quickly covered the wall, and then collapsed.
Binglian estimated the progress of the coolies, and could only complete the length required for three exercises in half a day, and shook her head helplessly. "Go back, that's all I can do for today. β
"This magic practice is to transform the yellow mud, right?" Jiao Ming suddenly asked.
"So to speak. Bing Lian looked at Jiao Ming with a happy gaze: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"You don't need to build a wall, you can just change it in a mud pit. As he spoke, he pointed to the mud puddle on the side.
Binglian rolled her eyes, expecting to hear something useful, but she didn't want to be so naΓ―ve. "Turning mud into stone is the basic magic of building a mage tower, you don't need a wall to practice, can you build a mage tower in a mud pit in the future?"
"Since the core of this magic is to make yellow mud deteriorate, then the wall is just a formality. β
"Of course, it's not that simple, the biggest difficulty in turning mud into stone is to control the deformation of the finished product, and the way is to make the material evenly and synchronously start the magic process, which requires a very high mental power and concentration of the caster. So the real purpose of this exercise is actually to allow the caster to be able to evenly urge the transformation of mana, and only when the wall does not fall is considered successful. Bing Lian looked at Jiao Ming with fierce disdain in her eyes, and then added: "If it was just to practice the process of yellow mud deterioration, I would have been able to call it a day." β
"I see. Jiao Ming nodded in realization. "I've never seen what you call the Mage Tower, but I think even the biggest building can be put together bit by bit, like our castle. β
"It's true that a low building is fine, but a building as tall as the Mage Tower, each floor must be formed at one time, otherwise it will collapse, and there are many lessons from history. β
Jiao Ming lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally guessed a possible reason based on the basic knowledge of the earth: "When you build a house, do you rely on your hands, and you don't have any measuring equipment." β
"I don't know what the measuring device you are talking about, but it seems to be true. β
Jiao Ming fell into a speechless dilemma, and finally could only say: "You people here are also admirable from a certain point of view." β
"You don't hear a hint of admiration. β
Jiao Ming laughed dryly, and then put forward another suggestion: "Anyway, you are building a wall, why don't you build it according to the livestock shed, and after a few days, there will be no place to place the newly bought livestock." β
"Makes sense, I'll think about it. β
......
The two returned to the castle, Jiao Ming went to the study to read, Binglian seemed to be a little tired, but went back to the room to sleep. When the sun began to set in the west, the coolie who asked Jiao Ming what he was doing at noon came again and told him that he had returned with hay.
Jiao Ming considered that there was still a lot of work in the future, and it was not always a way to call anyone, so he asked the other party's name by the way.
"Just call it a small door panel. β
"Huh?" the strange name still sounded yesterday. "The old door panel of the barn is your ......"
"That's my dad. β
"Alright, young man, I'm optimistic about you. You're going to mess with me from now on. Jiao Ming wanted to say this kind of thing for a long time, to experience the pleasure of being the boss and recruiting the younger brother.
"That's, that's. The little ones will all listen to the orders of the adults. The nodding and huffing movements splashed the old door panel.
In this way, Jiao Ming didn't expect that there was originally a three-point joke, but now it must be taken seriously.
Rushed to the test site in the corner of the vegetable garden, let everyone start weaving straw mats, and divided three people to immediately go to the field to dig earthworms, the more the better. Peeling off a corner of the pile of soil that had been catalyzed and rotted by the ice lotus, Jiao Ming leaned in and smelled it, although the smell was still there, it had become much lighter, and it didn't smell disgusting.
After digging a shallow pit nearby, and then filling it with rotten materials, after the earthworms dug back, Jiao Ming picked out 30 pieces that looked lively and healthy, and were not injured in the digging process, and put them on the edge of the shallow pit. The remaining earthworms were scattered in the vegetable patch and the people were taken away. This is the test of the results of the decomposition of the material, which can also be understood as a tasting, and when it is dawn tomorrow, dig a shallow pit to see how many earthworms are in the backfilled material pile, and you can roughly judge whether the earthworms eat this kind of thing and whether they like to eat it or not.
After returning to the castle, Jiao Ming instructed the little brother who had just received the small door panel to move a small bed to his room, and then it was almost dinner time. At the dinner table, Xiao Shi's appearance was much better, and she was talking and laughing with a little Lori next to her, Jiao Ming was naturally happy, as if her daughter had made a good friend.
After the meal, Jiao Ming and Xiao Shi came to the study with the magic book, and Binglian had already been reading in the study, and it was still the book "Seven Points for Turning Mud into Stone".
Outside the window, only the western sky was still a trace of red, and the rest was already completely dark, and the light of the magic lamp in the study was shining, as if it was an island in the dark.
Jiao Ming knew that Binglian was slamming the door for the magic lamp, so he didn't talk nonsense, and directly started reading. Xiao Shi also took out yesterday's children's books and sat quietly on the side, suppressing the children's active instincts, trying not to disturb the other two.
Time passed quietly in silence, and Jiao Ming finished reading the only remaining fire and qi systems in "Four Elephant Meditation Methods", and it was estimated that it would be two or three hours. Raising his head, he moved his neck and made a crunching sound. Fire magic, as Ice Lotus explains, is an image that makes things change, divided into forward and reverse change, the change of magic can be performed as long as a small amount of magic energy continues to be used in the magic medium, and the reverse change is the opposite, requiring a large amount of magic energy to complete.
The qi system is a kind of elastic image, Jiao Ming saw it as if he understood, and finally understood in the end that this qi system is actually a force that interferes with space. Space is likened to an elastic gas, and the magical medium of air is the hand that kneades space. At the end of the chapter, in the introduction of high-ring magic, there is actually a magic such as teleportation.
"Done?"
"Hmm. β
Binglian also closed the book, and then turned off the magic lamp, not wasting a single second. Like yesterday, Jiao Ming held Xiao Shi, who had fallen asleep, in his arms, covered him with a blanket, and prepared to chat at night.
"After reading the meditation method, how do you feel about the other three besides the water system?"
"The soil system is very obscure, and I can't understand it at all. But fire is very similar to a science in my hometown. As for the wind system, it's kind of interesting, but I can't say what it feels like. Jiao Ming recalled the various descriptions of the four systems of magic in the book, and roughly gave a first impression.
"There is a saying about the Four Elephants Meditation Method, if a person's talent magic level in a certain line is above the Six Rings, then when he reads the Four Elephants Meditation Method, he can directly awaken to become a magician. β
"In this way, it is impossible for my other three lines of talents to be above the six rings?" Jiao Ming knew that his water magic talent was at least six rings, because only by reaching the six rings could he be reborn with a severed limb.
This is just a statement, although there are indeed counterexamples, but the application rate of this statement is also ninety percent of the time. β
"I don't know if it's taboo here to ask about such a thing as a magic ring level?" Jiao Ming felt that this thing had the same effect as age and salary, although he was curious about the magic level of the ice lotus, he still had to lay the groundwork first. "I'm curious about your magic skills. β
"This kind of thing varies from person to person, some mages have their magic level printed on their robes, while others are very taboo about being asked for this kind of information, thinking that it is their own privacy. β
"And what kind of person are you?"
"I don't have rings on my magic robes. β
Jiao Ming thought that this was already a clear indication that he didn't want to answer the level question, so he naturally didn't want to ask anymore, but he didn't want Binglian to chuckle and continued: "It's just because that's too ugly." Actually, I'm just an intermediate magician with the four rings of fire. β
