Chapter 246: Pressure and Motivation VIII
After the meeting, because it was rare to see her mother, Binglian decided to sleep with Ms. Ziyu and talk privately, and then teleport back to the Blue Python Kingdom tomorrow morning. In order to inform Emily of the crocodile collar's decision, and at the same time seize the time to conduct experimental research, Jiao Ming returned as soon as possible.
However, perhaps it was a mistake in a hurry, and he suffered a crack in his calf, and unfortunately cut an artery, and the amount of bleeding was huge. Fortunately, this is all within the safety precautionary plan, there is no panic on the castle side, Huang Xia personally bandaged Jiao Ming, and Luo Hua led people to skillfully clean the ground.
Emily, who heard the movement, came from next door, and it was not the first time she had seen this kind of blood-soaked situation, and after confirming that Jiao Ming was not dead, she sighed: "Sometimes I really envy the bodies of you magical warriors. ”
"Casting spells from the first perspective, I am not very accustomed to it, and when I teleport others, the accident rate has dropped to one percent!" Jiao Ming refused to admit defeat, and at the same time communicated with the unfamiliar water magic medium to promote wound healing. But it's like a right-handed person writing with his left hand, it's awkward, and it's not at all like an arm-and-finger with a gas magic medium.
In fact, everyone in the castle knows that the accident rate is close to 20%, after all, every time there is an accident, it must be cleaned. Emily smiled slightly, and didn't poke it, but said with regret: "I originally wanted to use your magic circle to go shopping in the crocodile collar, but it doesn't seem to be safe enough." ”
For the other three types of magicians with ordinary human bodies, this kind of injury just now is very dangerous, even if there is a water type magician who heals the wound in time, a large amount of blood loss may be killed.
"Drink some magic addiction potion, and the diameter of the spatial passage can be doubled. If you want to go, make sure you don't have a single hair. Jiao Ming patted his chest and packed the ticket, causing Emily to chuckle. But they are all insiders, and no one can bluff anyone, and Emily understands that this is just a boast of a man to save face. "If the diameter of the space passage is large, it will be safe?" I will write this next time I take the exam, but I will deduct points. ”
After a few words of gossip, the bandaging was completed, the blood stains were cleaned up, the idlers retreated, and only the master and apprentice were left in the laboratory.
"How?"
"Of course. ”
Because of yesterday's spoilers, Emily was not surprised by Crocodile Collar's decision, but only sincerely thanked her.
"Don't be so polite, you are the master of the husband of the future duchess of the crocodile leader, your own people!"
This twist and turn of the Zhong Guo-style method of climbing relatives made Emily feel very fresh, but after the novelty, her expression turned complicated, and she sighed: "The word 'own person' is my senior brother's mantra. ”
There are more such people on the earth, and Jiao Ming sighed with emotion and did not forget to explain people, and said: "There is a thrilling turmoil, but in exchange for a lesson that will never be forgotten, this wave is not a loss." And it's useless to be angry with that kind of person, it's best to stay away. ”
Emily nodded thoughtfully, but suddenly raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "How do you feel like you are a master." ”
Jiao Ming laughed, causing Emily to laugh too, and then both of them laughed heartily. Jiao Ming knew that his master's heart knot could be regarded as unraveling, and when he used it, he found that the woman who smiled from the bottom of her heart was really beautiful.
After laughing, Emily said solemnly, "Thank you again." ”
"You're welcome. Jiao Ming hurriedly waved his hand.
"Listen to me. After a pause, as if sorting out her thoughts, Emily continued, "After you left last night, I thought about it all night......"
"Staying up late is not good for your health. ”
"Listen quietly, don't speak!" Emily stared at her, but the corners of her mouth were upturned, and her voice was high but not imposing. "It's a complete coincidence that this turmoil was able to pass like this. After all, the original research direction of space vesicles would not attract the attention of Vice President Sasu, let alone be protected by it. So what if you encounter a similar situation again? Hoping that you will be taken seriously by a big person to provide shelter again because of a study that you have accidentally stumbled?"
Jiao Ming scratched his head and suggested: "Then it's good to study in this direction, in a few years, become a strong man in the Nine Rings, at least in marriage, no one can force you." ”
Emily shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Nine rings, how can you just enter when you say it." Qi magic is not like your magic warriors, who can also ascend to the ring if they are seriously injured and unconscious. ”
This was obviously jealousy of Lady Finthorn, and Jiao Ming just smiled and didn't answer.
"And this research on using magnetic iron pieces to build a magic circle to reduce the amount of metal is just a novelty, and it is not difficult. As Sassu took his attention, many people, including Master Keno, began to join in, and if we couldn't stay ahead of the research......" At this, Emily's voice was inaudible, and she fell into pessimism about the future.
Jiao Ming nodded in agreement, this was also the reason why it was impossible for the alchemist line to hinder the development of things in the way of physical annihilation. Once the research direction is determined, there will be a large influx of researchers with policy support, and killing Emily will have no effect at all.
After a long time, Emily continued, "The reason I thank you again is because the Crocodile Collar is willing to openly shelter me and take the risk. Although the old man gave me a lot of research materials, he never took a clear attitude when it came to the Blue Python Kingdom, so I guess that when my research didn't go as expected, he would acquiesce to the Blue Python Kingdom's royal family taking action against me. It's still too far away to enter the Ninth Ring, and most of my family will force me to obey, and I really don't know what to do without you. ”
Facing a beautiful woman who seems to be in prenatal depression and chattering, Jiao Ming really has no experience in coping. And Emily's hypothetical situation is reasonable, and the 'ruthlessness' of the big man is undoubted, so she can only show a confident look and encourage: "Have faith in yourself, we must be the fastest progress research group and hug Sasu's thighs." ”
"Hug your thighs?" Emily was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly, apparently trying to be crooked.
While explaining the meaning of this word, Jiao Ming's thinking gradually became clearer, and he understood that Emily was only temporarily lacking in confidence. Even if it is a top student, there are occasional worries about whether he will get a full score in the next exam, not to mention that Emily has just been hit and is still a little far from being a top student.
"Keno is just a lucky color embryo, although he stumbled upon the effect of magnetism on the magic circle and used it in his famous work, but obviously, his head stuffed with fame and fortune is no longer capable of continuing to study. As for the others, it is not to be worried, the study of magic and the application of magic are two completely different things. The study of magic requires sufficient basic knowledge and experience, sharp thinking and energy, that is, the prime of life between the ages of twenty-five and forty...... "Dong Laxi pulled some things that he didn't know whether it was true or false, but saw that Emily's eyes were getting more and more confused, obviously he didn't understand too much, Jiao Ming stopped in time, put his hands on Emily's shoulders, and emphasized in the most sincere tone: "In short, believe me and you can do it!"
In order to prevent Emily from continuing to think about it, Jiao Ming pulled her and limped back to the laboratory to start working.
In fact, regarding the progress of the research and the results of the research, it was considered when discussing with Binglian, and it was also included in the plan to persuade the crocodile leader to make decisions, but the group of guys who had never seen the world didn't suspect too much at all, so they didn't mention it. The judgment of the two is that the short-term results account for ninety percent, and the long-term results are about one-percent, and it is completely impossible to produce no research results. The first is Emily's outstanding talent, before the age of thirty, the qi system is eight rings, which is rare in history. The second is the role of Jiao Ming's earth science in promoting fire magic, and Bing Lian believes that earth science can also create miracles in air magic.
Time flies by until her eyelids are heavy, Jiao Ming once again advises Emily to rest, and then goes back to the room to lie down. In the short waking time before falling asleep, I suddenly thought that the note on the bedside table when I first met Emily seemed to have found the main suspect, and then I completely forgot about this little and fell into a deep sleep.
......
In the following days, compared to the life of the class people on the earth, Jiao Ming only had two points in the laboratory and the classroom, and the 'line' in the middle was replaced by Emily's teleportation, the reason was to seize all the time to study magic. To the outside, it seems rather boring and boring. But Jiao Ming, who doesn't like to socialize and is good at studying, is happy in it, and Emily, who has experienced ups and downs together and has a closer relationship, sends some benefits from time to time, which is quite happy.
On the college side, the competition between the two colors of the robes continued, and several teams with student union backgrounds all won, and six of the last eight winning teams were gray-robed students. And from the analysis of the process of several battles, the two aristocratic teams have little hope of advancing to the finals. In the face of this unexpected result, the aristocratic students all felt gloomy, and avoided this matter intentionally or unintentionally during the casual conversation between classes. The face-slapping plan was initially successful, and Jiao Ming was quite comfortable looking at this group of guys who were like defeated roosters.
But it's also good for the vanquished. Because of Vice President Sasu's tough attitude, it is clear that the fight between the two robes will continue, and the punishment of the defeated as a 'prisoner' for twenty days has no tendency to be canceled. In the absence of guarantees that you will always be the winner, it becomes a consensus to be kind to the loser.
This tacit understanding of mutual compromise will of course reduce the desire to win, which in turn will make Sassou unhappy. However, judging from Evan's intelligence, the drop in metal prices caused by the news of reduced metal dependence has made Sassou feel good recently and has no intention of delving into the matter.
By the way, Evan, as a son of an alchemist, was still full of ease when he talked about the fall in metal prices, and he only smiled but did not answer Jiao Ming's questions. This made Jiao Ming even more wary, and even hesitated to suggest that Ice Lotus take him out of the castle, although this thing is really quite low-key in normal times, and the sense of presence in the castle is extremely low.
On the other hand, the floating tray has now become the basic configuration in the practice matches of the student competition, and the side that does not have a floating frisbee may even give up the game outright. At the same time, news came from the front line that the floating frisbee had been partially installed, but due to the complex terrain and limited results, within a few days, an alternative was introduced, and the magic warriors of the crocodile led began to serve as the 'coachman'. However, the floating frisbee still cannot adapt to the complex terrain of dense forests, and unfortunately, the latitude of the combat zone is higher than the crocodile collar, and most of the terrain is the vast and endless broad-leaved woodland.
About 30 days later, after squeezing out some basic knowledge of electromagnetism from Jiao Ming and completing the verification test, Emily finally made a certain breakthrough in theory, improving the floating circle of the original 20% material again, reducing the material to 1/2%, and the operation efficiency was slightly improved.
Such an achievement undoubtedly stands out among a group of researchers, and Sassu probably directly rewarded it out of the consideration of a thousand golden horses. On the second day, according to Emily's request, the construction of the Mage Tower next to the Crocodile Castle began, of course, the smallest kind. Jiao Ming originally thought that this would be similar to the decoration of the neighbor's house on the earth, and it would have to be noisy for more than ten days, but he never thought that this three-story small mage tower would be completed in only one afternoon.
According to the description of the lady who watched the whole time, a master of the nine rings of the qi system directly teleported the finished iron skeleton, and then let more than a dozen cubic meters of concrete float in the air and attach it to the skeleton, and finally another fire master let the concrete solidify and form, and so on three times. In general, it is similar to the original construction method of the crocodile collar, but it is faster and of better quality.
Jiao Ming suddenly felt that if this world developed, the title of the infrastructure madness of a certain big country might not be guaranteed.
On the second day after the completion of the Mage Tower, a dozen or so servants and three assistants were transferred in place to start the interior decoration and daily operations, but although the laboratory was moved, Emily still chose to live in the castle, which can be regarded as a gesture of closeness to the crocodile leader.
This kind of leading demonstration may really work, but ten days later, another small team of researchers under Sassou made a breakthrough and used magnetic materials on the most common long-distance space teleportation box, the same one that Sémill used in the crocodile collar. While using more materials, it also has the effect of lowering the standard of use, and the three-ring air mage can transport about a few hundred grams of material over a long distance.
What attracted Jiao Ming's attention was not their achievements, but their philosophy. This small research team calls itself the Descending Ring Society, which of course does not mean to abandon martial arts, but to lower the threshold of the spells of the high ring, so that the low ring magicians can and can cast them, so as to improve the overall combat effectiveness.
For this reason, Jiao Ming entrusted Evan to investigate again, and then took this intelligence information to find Binglian, saying that this small team is worth contacting and can be included in the list of 'headhunting plans'.
"This name doesn't work, the 'Stealing Project' doesn't sound comfortable to you, we can change it, but we really can't change it to this. Binglian refused with a serious face.
"How about using Hanyu Pinyin?" Jiao Ming did not give up.
"It's completely inexplicable and pointless. Binglian shook her head, thought about it, and finally gave a more reliable name: Crocodile Tooth Project.
In the original plan, the newly renamed 'Stealing Project' targeted only young children and their families, as well as a small number of Central magicians. After all, the crocodile collar is now empty inside, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and if the foreign forces are too strong, they are afraid that they will cause trouble. But after Lady Flipper stepped into the Nine Rings, everything was different.
