Chapter 119: A New Path I
Knighted Fang Xin, to Wendila. Fixes has a considerable obligation
The first is that Fang Xin can't do anything that endangers the hereditary knight of Wendilla, and the second is that he serves 40 days of service for free every year, that is to say, these 40 days.
Third, at the rite of passage of the eldest son of the Wendila, and when the eldest daughter gets married, the letter must give a gift money (not for the other children).
Fourth, Fang Xin entertains the knight four times a year (not exceeded)
And Sir himself also has an obligation, the first is to protect, that is, when Fang Xin is unjustly attacked or attacked by his enemies, Jazz should come to the rescue, if Jazz sees Fang Xin in danger (and he has the ability to save) and does not save it, then Fang Xin can justifiably abandon his master
Most of the legal edicts of the state stipulate that if the sovereign wants to kill the vassal, or take the vassal's wife and daughter, or deprive him of his hereditary property, the feudal monarch can also break with him
In other words, if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have the right to kill the king, and if the king wants to seize the wealth, the ministers can abandon them, so if the king dares to infringe on the wealth of the nobles, then the nobles can legally betray the king
From a legal and practical point of view, it is manifested in the assumption and enjoyment of certain obligations and rights by both the sovereign and the courtiers, and later, it has evolved into the assumption and enjoyment of certain obligations and rights by both citizens and the state—indeed, in the same vein.
This is indeed a symbol of the progress of human rights, the legal basis of later contract theory, in other words, anyone who emphasizes devotion to the state without specifying the obligations of the state to the individual can be summed up simply as the doctrine of slavery.
But this is not unique to the West, Fang Xin couldn't help but think of what the Chinese Confucian Yasheng Mencius said to the king: "The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy! ”
Civilization has long been passed down, but it has been transformed along the way.
Not to mention, although Fang Xin continued to serve as the captain of the Jazz's bodyguard, his salary suddenly jumped to 200 silver lake per month, but in a year, 40 days were free services, and he really had the right to dine at the same table with the knight, and he could also participate in any high society.
Sir was very considerate of Fang Xin, and after giving him a month's vacation, Fang Xin began to recruit his own guards, and he was legally entitled to ten soldiers.
Fang trusted Tavern to be the captain of the guard, but the other ten people were not recruited for the time being, for the simple reason that he was going to call a group of soldiers on the island, these soldiers were even more loyal and reliable, but the nominal captain had to be locals, which was prudent.
Lori is taken to study at the manor, and Purney is appointed as the clerk of the manor, overseeing the billing, which makes her dream truly ascend to heaven for a day.
Fang Xin deliberately meditated every day during this month, using the magic textbook in the study - within a few days, the city knight knew that he was interested in magic, and sent someone to send two more books, including a book on basic alchemy, which was more superficial than the one given to the magician last time - this is not that Fang Xin must learn magic, but that magic is a high-rise building in the intellectual world of this world, and only by touching it can he contact the core of this world.
Where, what to do, to put on such a posture, it was necessary, and at the end of the month's vacation, Fang Xin had built a huge alchemy room—the house was enough, and a hall on the west side was available.
Sunlight came in through the window, illuminating the hall brightly, and Fang Xin purchased a marble workbench, which was basically exactly the same as the chemistry laboratory on Earth in his previous life.
A large number of glassware, connected to each other, among them there are funnels, beakers, test tubes, balances, relatively precise rulers.
Fang Xin proudly led Luo Li and Purney to visit.
Poolie was a little speechless, and finally asked, "Your Excellency, did you buy these?" ”
"Yes, if it was two hundred years ago, this batch of instruments would be equivalent to the value of the entire manor, but now that the glass manufacturing process has been perfected, the price of glass has fallen to one percent of what it was two hundred years ago, so the whole set is only fifteen hundred silver Rak, which is exactly what I bought." Fang Xin said with a smile.
After taking the two girls to look around, Fang Xin was ready to create a miracle.
Fang Xin stood on the marble workbench, carefully took out four kinds of things that the girl didn't recognize at all, first weighed the weight on the scale, tried to make the amount as accurate as possible, and then made the raw materials that met the standard, holding the glass mortar and grinding it slowly.
Until it was ground into a very fine powder, poured into a small crucible the size of a palm, and a solution that had already been prepared was added, and the alcohol lamp below it began to be heated, and gradually, the original cloudy solution bubbled up.
At this time, Fang Xin quietly observed the changes in the solution in the crucible, and began to stir slowly with a glass rod, and in the air, a kind of smoke was produced, much like the smell of chemical experiments, and slowly, the color of the liquid turned blue.
This was the critical time, Fang Xin began to chant spells, this was one of the most common spells in O-level magic, and it was also the recorded magic sent last time - Light Technique
This spell can make an object glow like a torch, which is equivalent to a large candle.
When the white and brilliant light slowly rose, the two girls opened their eyes wide, watching the white light penetrate deep into the solution in the crucible, and when the light disappeared, the original blue liquid turned into a translucent liquid.
"Your Excellency, what is this?" Pooley asked.
"The hemostatic potion, I didn't expect it to succeed all of a sudden, quickly, call the people who are ready." Fang Xin said happily.
"Sir, you called me?" It was a woman who came in with some cringe.
Fang Xin unceremoniously ordered her to use a knife to cut a hole in her hand, and then took out a little and applied it, and sure enough, the whole wound stopped bleeding at once.
"Alright, you can go down." Fang Xin casually gave 3 silver lakes and told her to go down.
"Well, even the solution is five kinds of materials, and the price of raw materials is 0.18 silver ryk, but to perform a light technique, a light technique can theoretically catalyze 10 vials, En, it seems that selling 3 silver ryks in the temple is a small bottle, which is ten times the profit!" Fang Xin calculated and said.
"Ah, Your Excellency, is that cheap? If you become a pharmacist, won't you become rich? ”
When Fang Xin heard this, his heart moved, he thought about it, and said: "This potion, mainly because the energy of the light technique itself quickly stimulates the medicinal properties of the medicine itself, so the effect is obvious, but the effect is very short, it can only last for about three days, and it will continue to fade as soon as it is completed, so it is difficult to produce and buy and sell on a large scale." ”
“…… However, in fact, this kind of magic is not very demanding, and ordinary people may also use it......" Fang Xin once calculated that the difficulty of level 0 magic, if you look at it from another angle, is actually equivalent to the difficulty of the textbook for elementary school students in the main material realm, it can be said that most people can use the pitiful little power that they have accumulated after training.
The essence of this potion is actually to use the so-called positive energy implied in the light technique as a catalyst to strongly trigger the medicinal properties of the herb, so it has a certain disinfection and hemostatic function, and now medicine is still controlled by the temple, if this world can establish a system of doctors and nurses, so that they have this skill, then it has the revolutionary power to completely replace the function of the temple......
Fang Xin's heart suddenly moved, and he ignored the expressions of the two girls looking at each other, and pondered step by step.
What kind of road is the eternal road of mankind?
From this small angle, Fang Xin seemed to see a path that was contrary to science and technology, but Fang Xin firmly believed that the path of cosmic evolution must be the same in essence.
A strong intuition hit Fang Xin's heart, originally when he came to this Western world, Fang Xin was a little dazed, but at this time, he keenly felt the opportunity to further improve his path.
Fang Xin walked back and forth, looking at his surroundings as if there was nothing, and slowly, he smiled.
"Populny!"
"What do you command?"
"If you give these potions to Sir, I think Sir will be very interested." Fang Xin said categorically.
This world has magic, but magic has been suppressed by the Church of Light for a long time, and this world has had a "magician hunting movement" for eight hundred years
With the power to rebel against the Church, the Church of Light refers to the magicians as lovers and servants of darkness. The aim was to eradicate dissent and put the power of the church on everyone's head—best known as the burning at the stake
There was a time when people had an inexplicable fear and aversion to magicians. The reason why people have a prejudice against magicians is also due to the negative propaganda of religion against paganism.
However, when the new leaves (the new leafy continent, there are now four in total) appeared, and that continent worshipped the sun god, the Church of Light and the Church of the Sun God fought a large-scale war, and both lost a lot of vitality, and the magician, as the one who wielded power, began to have value, and the mage-hunting movement subsided.
Magic began to recover from the brink of extinction, and until now, for 300 years, many noble families have cultivated their own magicians to gain power.
Power has always been the dominant force in society, and it is precisely because of this that the magician has a very high status, Fang Xin can complete two O-class magic in a month, and there is no doubt that he is regarded as a buried magic genius - this is more promising than a knight, although he may secretly offend the Church of Light.
In this regard, Fang Xin was fearless, and once again, he wanted to prove his path with the future of the world.
