Chapter 101: New Research on Seismology
Li stretched lazily.
Today's sun is still good, there is a burning feeling on the body, the lady of the family usually does not go out in this weather, but for her, it can be described as just right, can tan the hair on the tail fluffy and soft.
Since returning from Fenghua County, Xia Fan has rarely lived in Princess Villa, saying that he wants to further study the earthquake technique while the people in the Privy Council are not yet ready. In order to avoid leaks, the princess's territory was chosen.
She didn't mind where she lived, there was the cleanliness of the outside and the liveliness of the inside. For example, with a piece of jerky and natural spells, you can make the original form of the dog demon be revealed.
As for his companions, the other two peculiar goblins, not only did they not mind her doing so, but they would quietly admire them. Sure enough, the dog is a species that represents simplicity and dullness everywhere.
After one tail was baked, she rolled over, exposing the other to the sun.
Li had never cared about the condition of the tail before, after all, in most cases, it was his own hidden weapon, and it didn't make much difference whether it was dirty or clean.
As a characteristic of a demon, she even disliked the tail for a while.
It wasn't until Master taught her the meaning of nature that she changed her mindset, but she didn't think it was so beautiful - only animals rely on their fur to show themselves, and she was a demon, more intelligent than most humans, and her advantage was not in her superficial appearance.
However, some people are very fond of this.
Although Li couldn't understand the other party's preferences, it still made her inadvertently pay attention to the state of her tail.
Fortunately, Xia Fan is a human with a shocking heart.
If she was good at Kanshu, she would wonder if she was affected.
Of course, the other party is far more eccentric than this, such as the magic research he is currently conducting.
In general, the study of the magic of the alchemist usually starts from the aspects of medicine and talismans. In the words of her master, the material is the surface, and the talisman is the inside, which means that as long as the ingredients of the introduction are clearly explained, it will not make much difference to anyone who uses it, because this represents the appearance of the world, and everyone can understand it.
The talisman is different, and its drawing often varies from person to person. After all, everyone's perception and imagination of the principle of magic is different, and the more they use it, the more obvious the differentiation becomes.
Therefore, the personal research of Fangshu will focus more on the "inside" because it is low-cost and easy to verify. The improvement of the "table" is often carried out by the Privy Council's Faculty of Studies, Finance and Records.
As for individual research methods, that's too much. Since it is a principle of depiction, it is natural to try all the guesses, and even the master calls this improvement a gambling talisman - just like the gambling stone of the Treasure Merchant, if you hit it, you will make money.
However, no matter what kind of study, either prepare a large pile of medicinal leads, or put on ink, cinnabar, and a thick stack of chips. Like Xia Fan, who has an empty hand, Li is still the first time to see it.
No, it can't be said to be empty, at least he brought back two red copper rods about four feet long from the blacksmith's shop. Just transporting them to the villa made Xia Fan sweat.
To make matters worse, he also found an axe and a saw, and did his own carpentry work.
What kind of magic is this?
Suddenly, Li's ears stood up.
She turned her head and found Princess Quang Binh at the gate of the courtyard.
It was only a hundred paces away from the dormitory, and it was not surprising for her to come and see it, but according to the awkward etiquette of humans, it was rare for the royal family to patronize a vassal's residence without first notice.
Even if the whole villa is owned by someone else.
Accident after accident, Li still got up and saluted the princess. This gift does not mean that she is a vassal to the princess, but for the sake of Xia Fan's face.
The third princess didn't mind her demon identity, or since she learned that the demon was likely to be born by a human, her attitude towards the demon had improved a lot, which Li Neng clearly felt.
It was as if the princess had been in a similar situation.
This made Li quite puzzled.
However, the other party is not Xia Fan, she is far from being familiar with the princess to the extent of asking about private matters.
"What is Xia Fan doing?" Ning Wanjun walked up to Li and asked, followed by the maid named Qiu Yue.
"In ...... Research Techniques. β
Li hesitated, and to be honest, even she didn't believe it.
"Oh, do you use a brass rod to train yourself and strengthen your qi?" said the princess, "this method is somewhat similar to my practice. β
The fox demon blinked.
Do these two people understand what a monk is?
"The servant doesn't think he wants to charge," Qiu Yue muttered, "The stick can also be used as a spear, and what are those pieces of wood for......?" This Xia Gongzi just wants to have some fun for himself. β
"Perhaps...... A special way of research, right?" Li wanted to correct Xia Fan's name, but he really didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"Your Highness, why don't you go and ask?"
"No β it's a good pastime to guess what the listener thinks once in a while. Ning Wanjun actually dragged a chair and sat down next to Li, "I've always been a little concerned, since they mean extraordinary, how far is there between them and ordinary Fang Shi? If I can guess his thoughts, does it mean that I have also reached that level?"
"Your Highness, it's easy to make people crazy and you can't guess what you think. Qiu Yue held up a paper umbrella and covered the top of the princess's head.
Li's ears twitched.
Listener? What's that?
And the person concerned, Xia Fan, did not stop his work at all because of the arrival of the princess, he didn't even give a salute, and concentrated on sawing the wooden blocks.
Soon, a wooden shelf was assembled to hold the copper rods.
It can be seen that he did not have much experience in carpentry before, and the shelves were cut crookedly, which obviously could not be used as furniture.
The two rods were placed horizontally on top, parallel to each other, separated by only a palm's width.
"Guess the maid, this is probably a target for leading mines?" Qiu Yue pondered.
"It's rare to see you say a reasonable word. Ning Wanjun thought thoughtfully, "But I still think that it is a kind of exercise equipment, such as the kind that can resist increasing the weight on the shoulders." β
Then she looked at Lai, "What do you think?"
The fox demon frowned in embarrassment, she thought that her understanding of the other party's technique was far better than the two in front of her, but she really didn't have any clue about what Xia Fan was making up at the moment. "Probably...... That bronze and wooden frame is an introduction to a new seismic technique?"
At this moment, Xia Fan suddenly looked in the direction of the three of them, "Your Highness, if the research causes damage to the courtyard wall, you shouldn't blame me, right?"
"It doesn't matter, I can still afford to build a wall. Ning Wanjun nodded.
After receiving the princess's reply, he activated the tremor.
Unlike all the previous seismic techniques, this time he held his hand tightly to the end of a copper rod.
I saw a dazzling flash of light suddenly emerge from the copper rod, and the dazzle almost overlooked the sunlight overhead, and it was clearly distinguishable even in broad daylight.
Then came a series of violently beating sparks, which bloomed along the brass rods, but with a shrill roar that did not match themβas if they were not sparks, but thunder!
In the flash of lightning, something was slammed out. In fact, Ning Wanjun couldn't see this process at all, she only made this judgment based on her feelings and subsequent reactions, and the evidence was the dust that was shaken up on the ground, and a hole left in the courtyard wall after a loud bang.
The entrance to the cave was close to the size of a fist, and the position was impartial, facing the direction of the strange bronze and wooden frame.
