Chapter 52: The Temperature of the Flame

Dai Lan, who was under the wide black robe, was extremely careful to gasp, and acted and spoke very little, just for fear of arousing the suspicion of others.

In this small secret room, most of them are magicians, and sitting in the corner of the Debroeil tavern owner Billy's origin, Dai Lan is not at all confused.

Who the hell is he!? Why help yourself?

Looking at Emily's sad eyes, Dai Lan felt pity. The hand covered by the sleeve of the robe slowly reached out and placed it on Emily's arm, squeezing it lightly a few times, and then fell silent.

Emily's face flushed, her heart suddenly lifted, and her mind went blank. In the end, it was realized that it should be this elemental mage who would detect his talent again.

Although high-level magicians can spy on a person's magic cell content by touching the pulse, the results are often quite different from the actual situation, and they are far from being as accurate as the magic talent test stone.

But there is only one place in Scotland where this test stone is collected, and that is the Scottish Royal Palace. Without a big face, there is absolutely no possibility of using it.

Murray, the butler in his head, had already figured it out, and used the nerves of his whole body to probe Emily's inspiration cells.

"Strange! Mr. Dai Lan. The magic cells of the eldest lady are so strange! Murray looked confused, "Using my life frequency resonance method, the eldest lady has a rich content of inspiration cells in her head, but their formant peaks are very low. Oh, and that is, they are very low in activity, as if they are asleep. ”

Dai Lan gasped, it seemed that this matter was in trouble. Things that even Murray can't figure out are really weird. Thinking about the Middle Ages, Murray could sense the magic cells of Tang Bohu and the Western mage from a long distance. And now, even if they are in contact with each other, Murray, the butler, can't tell why.

Dai Lan was afraid that his voice would be exposed, so he lowered his voice and coughed twice before he said slowly: "According to my perception, Miss Robertson, you have a lot of magical talent." As long as you work hard, you will soon reap the rewards. ”

In fact, Dai Lan was just comforting her.

At this time, the eldest lady no longer had the fortitude when she was in distress in the forest, and her heart rose and fell with Dai Lan's comments. She was like a schoolboy, standing in front of a professor, listening to the teachings with trepidation, and her eyes were full of reverence.

Hearing the elemental magician's encouragement, Emily's mood was like a spring March, a warmth. Her long eyelashes shook up and down, and she was so excited that she was about to cry.

The cold face of ice and snow, as if it was about to melt, actually climbed up with a trace of eager fire, and Carrick was stupid to see.

"I must get the eldest lady. Protect her for the rest of her life. Carrick said to himself repeatedly in the bottom of his heart, completely ignoring the bird-like crystal girl standing beside him.

"Master Elemental Mage, can you teach me how to perform my first magic?" Emily has no side of the heir to the family at all, but looks like a little girl who is greedy for candy but afraid of punishment, biting her lip and timidly asking, "I really want to practice one!" ”

Dai Lan swallowed his saliva, which he. Mom isn't it hard for me! I want to make magic myself. It will only be a time freeze technique, and it is similar to Duan Yu's six-vein divine sword, and it is not sure when it will be used.

Shaking his head, he said in a deep voice, "Master Andrew is amazing. There is no problem at all in learning from him. As for why you can't cultivate a magic, all I can say is that it's not ripe yet. ”

After saying that, Dai Lan pretended to raise his head, closed his eyes, and took a heavy breath, looking unfathomable.

The eldest lady was both surprised and a little disappointed, staring at the elemental mage, and suddenly a thought came to her heart: looking at him, there was always a feeling of kindness and safety. How is this feeling so familiar, I must have experienced it somewhere.

Praised by the elemental mage, Andrew's heart fluttered, and his gray beard trembled. kept rubbing his hands while shaking his head politely: "Mr. Doctor has won the award." My little bit of ability can be praised by you, which really gives me confidence as an old man! Hey, if I could be a few years younger, I would really like to try the exam for the Intermediate Mage (Elemental, Awakening, and Adjudication Mage). ”

"By the way, my dear Elemental Mage, I have always had a question that I don't understand, can I ask you?" Andrew also realized that he was a little carried away, deliberately restrained his expression, and asked Dai Lan respectfully.

Dai Lan can now have three big heads. Relying on a little cheekiness and luck, I barely got past, where did I think that they would still ask endless questions, and sooner or later there would be problems.

The thought of Billy, the tavern owner sitting silently in the corner, made Dai Lan's heart unsteady.

Since Andrew asked, Dai Lan couldn't refuse, and nodded reluctantly.

Andrew was overjoyed to see the affirmative answer, and took out a thin booklet from his bosom, flipped to a page and handed it over.

Dai Lan took a closer look, and it turned out to be another "Magic Review Letter", but it was much more worn.

The old mage's face turned red and explained, "The print run of this kind of professional magic journal is extremely limited, and it needs to be purchased under real names. So in our Sain Alliance, a book should be circulated to each other. Our Dundee City is a small place, and when periodicals arrive here, they often don't look like they......"

There seems to be some dissatisfaction with the distribution of magical journals.

Dai Lan had no choice but to take the book and pretend to flip through it a few times.

In fact, he only understood the title: "On the Problem of Burning Matter in Fire Magic--An Unknown Substance".

"What! Oh my God! Dai Lan's shock was no less than the detonation of a prima in his heart. Child. "Oxygen is needed for combustion, which was discovered by Lavoisier (1743-1794, 14th generation of the Saine League) in 1772 bell jar experiments!" This quantum-altered space-time, oxygen was discovered more than 1,500 years ago? More than 200 years earlier! ”

Dai Lan was like a wood carving, staring blankly at a paper that he couldn't read a word. In the eyes of others, this elemental mage, known as the Doctor, was concentrating on the study of the magic treatise.

Dai Lan didn't speak, and no one else dared to speak, especially Miss Emily, who didn't dare to blink her eyes and stared at him tightly for fear of missing something.

After a long time, Dai Lan said in a deep voice, "Master Andrew, what do you think of this paper?" ”

"Cut! - "Murray, the butler, made a disdainful note, and the Oriental boy gasped for breath and made a deliberately deep appearance.

The young man ignored him and rolled his eyes.

Andrew thought that the doctor was teaching him, so he answered in great detail, which was basically equivalent to translating the entire paper vividly, and even added a lot of his own opinions.

Like the chemistry that Dai Lan later studied, this paper proposes the idea that combustion must consume a special substance.

Dai Lan nodded, knowing what to expect. habitually touched his chin, but he almost ripped off the mask he wore on his face, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Doctor, you know, this old man of mine is a trainee magician of the fire department, and he is most interested in such things as burning matter." Finally Andrew asked his question, "May I ask you, Doctor, what is the use of this paper of his for us fire magicians?" ”

That's an interesting question. The author of the article seems to have lifted the veil of what was called "oxygen" in later generations, but until the end did not explicitly state its function.

If you think about it, you understand. In fact, the author of the article did not fully understand what kind of thing this was, and was forced by the majesty of the orthodox inspiration magic of the time, and all the conclusions used the modifier maybe.

"This question is not difficult to explain. According to the conclusions of the paper, only sufficient oxygen, the burning substance, can exert the maximum power of the flame. Dai Lan said nonchalantly, "I said Master Andrew, don't you know what kind of Flame Dance?" I ask you, is the fireball you produce the hottest in the center or the hottest at the edges? ”

Remembering that he had started to attack the elemental mage with this move, Andrew blushed for a while and said shyly, "I didn't know it was the Doctor who arrived just now, and I was very offended." But that problem, of course, is that the middle of the fireball is the hottest and most powerful! ”

"Hey, hey!" Dai Lan shook his head excitedly, "Then please try it again." ”

Listening to the tone of the elemental mage, he answered incorrectly, Andrew was very confused in his heart, isn't it the center of the flame that has the greatest energy? To say that the edge temperature is high is completely counterintuitive!

Still, he decided to give it a try. From the weapon rack on the side of the wall, he pulled out two ordinary Robertson family forged soldier iron swords and suddenly threw them into the air.

"Flame Dance!"

Perform a fire attack once more.

I saw two fireballs burning from the center of the old mage's palm, and the bark-like hand shook slightly, and the two fireballs went straight to the two iron swords in mid-air.

A fireball held the iron sword in the center, blazing hot, and the entire sword body turned red.

Another fireball grilled iron sword with the edges. The sword body was not only red from the flames, but even began to melt, and just a few seconds later, there was a "snap" in two!

The old mage stood there as if a sword had passed through his head to the soles of his feet, speechless in shock at the sight before him.

Dai Lan smiled slightly, picked up the apple on the table, and took a hard bite.
