Seeing that William wanted to stop talking, Donner asked all the maids and guards in the courtyard to retreat, and then glanced at Lisa helplessly, knowing that he couldn't get rid of her, so he simply took her away and beckoned William, Austin, and the kneeling boy to sit down together.

Hearing Donner's instructions, William hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's good for us to stand, just stand." ”

William's reaction was not strange at all, the three people opposite, one was the Empress of the Empire, the other was the Grand Duke of Venne, who was in power in the three northern provinces, and the remaining strange woman did not seem to be an ordinary person, and although William was nominally the acting city lord of Pamplo School City, this title had no practical meaning outside the school city, in the final analysis, he was just a little viscount, what qualifications did he have to sit down in front of the empress and the grand duke, not to mention the Austin Baron and the civilian boy next to him.

Donner smiled and nodded, his eyes sweeping to the civilian boy again.

The boy stood behind William with his head bowed, fingers of his hands intertwined, apparently not yet recovering from his nervousness.

He was dressed in the uniform linen apprentice's robe of the Pamplo Academy, from the short chestnut hair to the dark brown cotton shoes, all neatly clean, I don't know if it was deliberately prepared at the behest of William, the lord of the school, or if it was all the children in the school, who had not been to the school in six years.

"Tell me, how did you discover the five true magic elements?"

Donner asked the boy, but William and Austin were startled, and even Lucia was secretly surprised.

However, Lucia immediately reacted, if she hadn't discovered the true face of the magic element, how could this civilian boy in front of her have cultivated all five systems?

Within seconds, the expression on William's face changed several times, from initial excitement, to surprise, and then to a sudden realization.

Without waiting for the young man to answer, he couldn't help but ask, "My lord, you already knew?"

Donner groaned slightly, sighed lightly, and said, "Let's listen to this child's discovery process first." ”

Then, the civilian boy told the story of his discovery of the true primitive.

The boy's name was Todd, and he was the youngest son of an ordinary peasant family in the southern part of Pamplo province. Five years ago, when Todd was twelve years old, he was sent by his parents to the Santan Academy of Magic, and after two years of studying at the Academy, he was unable to condense the divine element due to his lack of magical talent and went to Pamplo School City closer to home to become an apprentice.

Todd, who was once considered to have no magical talent, immediately showed an extraordinary talent for mathematics after entering the school, and then was favored by a bachelor who was good at mathematical research (the highest academic title in the school, Austin, who had discovered the concept of "virtuality", was also a university scholar), and became the latter's apprentice, and became more and more valued.

A few months ago, Todd tried to write his first paper, titled "Differentiating the Relationship between the Angle and the Length of a Right Triangle." Halfway through the paper, Todd suddenly noticed that his diagram of the ratio of corner-to-edge to hypotenuse (i.e., a diagram of sinusoidal functions) looked familiar—yes, very similar to the magic elements he had sketched countless times in the past.

The rest is simple. Because he had depicted the approximate version of the five magic elements thousands of times, Todd didn't need to use the elements in the magic circle to sketch and make them like Donner, but only used his intuition to accurately find the five exact elements.

After that, Todd used his salary as an apprentice in the school city to buy magic gold through his old classmates at the Santan Academy of Magic, and verified his idea, and in the following two months, he was successfully promoted to a mid-level magic apprentice.

Out of gratitude, Todd finally decided to contribute to this astonishing discovery. So, he found the city lord of William and handed over all five magic elements.

Todd took a few minutes to tell the ins and outs of the story, with a hint of disappointment in his tone that could not be concealed. He was already deflated when he heard Duke Vaane's first question. I thought I had discovered a great secret, but in fact, as Lord William said, the Duke should have known this secret for a long time.

Donner listened to Todd say it all, frowned slightly, and was silent.

"What did this little guy say?" Lisa couldn't bear it anymore.

"He found the primitive. Donner replied to Lisa, and then glanced at Lucia, who also looked solemn.

William saw Donner's embarrassed expression, and the worry and doubt in his heart became heavier. He wasn't as innocent as Todd, and after hearing Donner's question, his first thought was: Did he get into trouble?

During the time when Todd was telling about the discovery process, William had been secretly observing Donner's expression, and for some reason, he was suddenly a little scared, afraid that Duke Vane would suddenly strike and kill the three of them - William had seen Lord Duke carve words on the rock with a wind blade, and had an intuitive understanding of how terrifying his strength was.

Now that His Majesty the Duke and Her Majesty the Empress all looked serious, William felt that he might have guessed the outcome, and his legs trembled and a cold sweat flowed.

Among the six people at the scene, only Lisa looked relaxed, and even looked at Donner with a smile, as if she was watching a play.

"William," Donner said suddenly, "you are not mistaken, I already knew the secret. Do you know why I'm reluctant to tell this secret?"

"No, I don't know. William's neck stiffened with nervousness, and it became difficult to shake his head.

Donner glanced at Lisa, then smiled at William, "If everyone practices magic, there are two obvious consequences: one is that people will live longer, the population will increase dramatically, and it will not be easy to feed these people. ”

William suddenly realized, so shocked that his mouth opened subconsciously, thinking: Such an obvious thing, he actually forgot to think about it because of ecstasy.

"The second evil consequence is more relevant to you," Donner smiled, "William, have you ever thought about why there are so few magicians among the good naturalists?"

William shook his head at first, then suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Because those who have magical talents are pursuing stronger magical strength, and are unwilling to study naturalism!"

"I think so," said Donner, "but ...... On this day, we can't hide from it, the five primitives are all function images, and the more mathematics develops, the more difficult it is to hide this fact. ”

"My lord, what do you mean......" William thought of his misunderstanding just now, and couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for Duke Vain.

"Hmm......" Donner looked at Lucia, who made a "you have the final say" expression at him.

"Well, you and Todd will stay in Coenas for a few days, and I'll go with you to the school city in the future. At this point, Donner suddenly noticed that the whole thing just now didn't seem to have anything to do with Austin.

"By the way, Austin, did you come to me for something?" he wondered.

"My lord," Austin scratched his head a little embarrassed, "compared to what I just said, it's really insignificant. ”

"Since you've come here, let's talk about anything. Donner has always had a crush on Austin, and if it weren't for the other party's paper that argues "false", he might not have figured out his true situation until now.

"That's ......" When Austin began to tell about his discovery, everyone in the courtyard was a little absent-minded, except for Donner's eyes that were getting wider and wider, and even his breathing became short.
