Although Hathaway's mathematical knowledge is already very advanced for her peers, in the eyes of Douglas and Fernando, it is really not a problem worth spending too much brainpower, so Hathaway constantly flips through the books, constantly pointing at one of the questions with her slender fingers without saying a word, and then waits for a standard, simple answer, and each time, she is not disappointed.

Sharp, the knight teacher who was eating honey-grilled fish and drinking spirits at the same time, was gradually attracted by the situation here, forgot to catch up with Old Green, frowned slightly, and looked at Douglas and Fernando carefully.

Perhaps because of a little excitement, Hathaway's face was slightly more rosy than just now, and after a long time, she closed the book, lowered her head, and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Fernando was just about to laugh at a few words, Sharp suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up from the high chair, and said with a smile: "Old Green, I can't imagine that your guest here, in addition to being a philosopher, is also a mathematical physicist, I think he is more powerful than those court teachers......"

He spoke to Old Green, but a pair of blue eyes stared at Douglas and Fernando.

Old Green picked up Sharp's drinking glass and washed it in the sink while muttering, "What's so strange about this, a lot of guys who are good at math and science have a bit of a philosophical mind." ”

"Yes, mathematics is the ultimate embodiment of philosophy. Douglas laughed at Old Green's words.

Fernando pursed his lips and twisted his head to the side, looking disdainful of talking to Sharp, a barbarian.

Sharp snorted, no longer staring at Douglas and Fernando. Instead, he slowly paced to Hathaway's side, and watched her eat the honey-grilled fish that was already a little cold with a smile: "Hathaway, how does the grilled fish taste here?"

"Not bad. In the face of her knight teacher, Hathaway was still concise and to the point, refusing to say half a word.

"After tasting it, we should leave too, you have to go back to dinner, I can't let them know that I can take you to eat as much as you want. Sharp smiled.

Hathaway took off the white handkerchief hanging on the left side of the knight's suit, wiped the corners of her mouth gently, and nodded gently: "Hmm." ”

"Take your knight's sword. Don't throw it away. But remember, one cannot influence oneself for the sake of it, the life of a knight lies in his creed, his own spirit. own will. And not a sword in the hand. Sharp finally taught Hathaway a few words about what had happened before.

Hathaway picked up her greatsword, which was taller than herself. She frowned slightly, as if she still didn't agree with this statement, but she didn't refute it directly. Thoughtfully, he staggered behind Sharp towards the hotel door.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she suddenly turned her head, still expressionless, but the indifference in her silver-gray eyes seemed to soften a little, and then, she bowed slightly to Douglas and Fernando, as if to thank them again for their guidance on mathematical problems.

After they were far away, Fernando spoke with a half-smile and a half-hum: "Silver-gray eyes, indifferent and cold eyes, she is a descendant of the Hoffenberg family, right?

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Old Green, waiting for his answer.

"Sword of Truth" is the title of King Wilhelmsson Hoffenberg of Holm, he is a legend more powerful than the "Heart of Time" Ketonia, and was the first knight to follow the "Cult of Truth" against the rule of the Magic Empire, so the "God of Truth" specially sent down the grace of God and "gifted" him with an epic sword that matches his bloodline, which is also named "Sword of Truth".

"You don't need to know the Tao. Old Green replied without raising his eyes.

Fernando snorted: "This kind of thing is easy to investigate, not everyone thinks it's a secret like you old guy waiting for death." ”

Old Green turned a deaf ear to his taunts, and intently wiped the glass in his hand.

............

Early the next morning, Fernando knocked on Douglas's door, because he woke up and found that he had a new idea about a magical problem, so he came over to talk excitedly.

"I'll admit, I made a little mistake yesterday......" Fernando said sincerely, as soon as the door opened, but he stopped abruptly halfway through, because there was more than Douglas in the room, "Vice President, why are you here again?"

The chair in front of the desk sat upright as if it was Vice President Rig who was "roared" away by him a few days ago!

"Can't I come?" said Rig, touching his hooked nose and speaking in a gloomy tone.

Fernando snorted, and was about to open his mouth to sarcastically mock Rig's face, but was interrupted by Douglas: "President Rig is here to explain my mission." ”

"Mission?What mission does you need to do as a Nine-Ring Archmage??," Fernando's expression began to become serious.

Douglas smiled calmly, "Let me find a way to become Hathaway's math teacher, privately, and by the way, test her magical talents, and if I can, guide her on the path of magic." ”

"She has a high status in the Hoffenberg family?" Fernando's first reaction was this, and he had no doubts about the union's program of action to win over the aristocracy.

"Her father was the youngest and most favored child of the 'Sword of Truth', named Ludwig, and he was also a knight who was pinned on the hope of the second legendary powerhouse of the Hoffenberg family, but unfortunately, he died unexpectedly at a ruin, so the 'Sword of Truth' transferred his feelings for him to his only daughter Hathaway, who loved him very much, and did not dislike her lack of knightly talent at all. Rig's voice didn't go up and down to give a general idea of the situation, after all, Fernando was also involved in "teaching" Hathaway yesterday.

Fernando pouted: "Why don't you let me go, I think I'll be a very good teacher." ”

He was just talking casually, and he was still very young in terms of his age, and he didn't have the idea of teaching students yet.

"You? Rig replied without a smile.

Douglas also shook his head slightly, as if he also felt that Fernando, who was also grumpy, could not be a good teacher.

Fernando snorted. Expressing strong dissatisfaction with their attitude, he struck: "Sharp is probably the Golden Knight, be careful that he finds out his identity, it will bring serious consequences to the destruction of the entire union, and the 'Sword of Truth' is a very, very devout believer, even if it can really tempt Hathaway to embark on the path of magic, I suspect that he will not secretly support us, but directly kill Hathaway, he has always been very decisive." ”

"A devout believer and a qualified king have always been contradictory. I've noticed that the 'Sword of Truth' is becoming more and more like the latter. Rig said meaningfully. Then he stood up and walked out the door.

Fernando was stunned for a moment, and only after he crossed him did he say stiffly: "It's not that stupid......"

............

The top breakfast at the "Grilled Fish Hotel" is a piece of white bread, a lump of butter and a grilled fish. Fernando muttered "how is it again". While eating in large gulps. For him, who had yet to perform any life-extension ceremonies, his appetite was as strong as ever.

After devouring a few bites of food, Fernando struggled to distract himself. He asked vaguely, "How are you going to become Hathaway's private math teacher?" Since her position is so important, I don't think Sharp the 'Blue Demon' will let her stay with a stranger and let you guide her down the path of magic." ”

He had already figured out Sharp's identity, the deputy head of the "Sword of Truth" Knights, the ninth-level golden knight "Azure Gift", and among magicians, this title was replaced by "Azure Demon", which shows how many mages he has killed!

"I'll have to find a chance to see Hathaway again. Douglas swallowed his food gracefully before smiling, "I don't know how she's going to get along with Sharp, and I can't make a plan in advance." ”

Fernando poured himself a sip of ale: "Isn't it so reckless......"

At this time, there was a soft knock on the door of the half-closed small hotel, and then, Hathaway, who had changed into a little princess dress, walked in with a book with a light blue cover, still with bangs and shawl hair, and behind her back, Sharp, with a protruding nose, followed with her hands behind her back, as if smiling.

Kicking and staring, Hathaway ran lightly towards Douglas and Fernando's "table".

"Hands and feet......" Fernando is still so mouthful.

This made Hathaway subconsciously slow down, slowly walked in front of the two, spread the book on the empty place of the table, and turned to the page that had long been folded.

Her thin fingers poked at one of the questions, her palm-sized face lifted slightly, and she looked at Douglas and Fernando fixedly with a pair of indifferent silver-gray eyes, without saying a word.

"This question...... Fernando spoke first, and at the same time secretly glanced at Douglas, look, you don't have to think of a way to see Hathaway again, she will send it to the door herself!

Sharp casually walked up to Old Green, sat down in a high chair, asked for a glass of spirits, and watched the three of them "teach" as they sipped.

This morning, Douglas and Fernando tried their best to answer Hathaway's questions, she was no longer limited to the original topic, but in the process of explaining, she continued to dig deeper, and put forward problems that did not exist in the book, of course, this was not difficult for Douglas and Fernando.

Towards noon, Hathaway put away her books, papers, quill and inkwell, bowed earnestly, and thanked her in a cold and soft voice, as if she were facing a real teacher.

"I'm going to stay here for a month, and it's hard to see a child who loves math and physics so much. As he parted, Douglas said deliberately.

Hathaway nodded slightly, signaling that she understood.

Sharp laughed, "Why don't you just become Hathaway's tutor?" I think it's better than any of your previous jobs. ”

He didn't wait for Douglas's answer, turned around and walked away as if he were joking.

After seeing them go away, Fernando sneered: "Things are easier than expected, she has a real love for mathematics and physics!"

Douglas looked thoughtfully around the corner where Sharp and Hathaway had disappeared, ignoring Fernando's question.

Then, the two went back to their rooms to continue their communication and study, and never stepped out of the room except for lunch and dinner.

It wasn't until the dead of night that Fernando said goodbye and left, while Douglas rubbed his forehead a little tiredly and looked at the starry sky outside the window.

"Tomorrow looks like another sunny ......," Douglas whispered as the night was dark and starry.

Suddenly, all the stars were covered with a layer of blue color, hazy, like the reflection of the sea, and then, the sound of the tide came from the sky, the sea fell upside down, and the water curtain fell from the sky!

Douglas reacted quickly, a huge translucent palm burst out in front of him, keeping the tide out, and then circles of silver-white lightning rose from his body, and poured into the rushing "sea water".

At the same time, the figure of Douglas disappeared.

Suddenly, the blue waters faded like an illusion, and Sharp's smiling voice came from all directions:

"Sure enough, it's a magician......" (To be continued......)
