On this day, Merkel came to the blacksmith again, as usual, with a slight difference, this time, he had one more person by his side.

"This is my friend, Victor Brian. ”

Victor was visibly unhappy with the introduction, glaring at Merkel, who reluctantly added: "A naturalist." ”

The naturalist was thin and tall, his gray robe was suspiciously dirty, and his fluffy curls were piled up haphazardly on his head, like a broom stuck in the ground. This scene gave Richard the wrong impression that the so-called naturalist was some kind of honorific title for a beggar.

In fact, Mr. Victor is strictly a naturalist enthusiast. The bullshit papers he sent to the Continental Naturalist Society (the original words of the society's directors) have never been used in the society's publications. However, this small setback could not stop him from his unremitting pursuit of truth.

"This little setback can't stop me from pursuing the truth!" Every time he receives a reply that he is not hired, he will shout his famous quote, and then devote himself to the next bullshit essay again. The leaders and colleagues of the Tellis Academy of Magic complained about his unscrupulous approach. That's right, Mr. Victor is a magician, a professor at the Tlees School of Magic.

"Where's the sword, what about the sword?" said Victor, who was obviously anxious, and before Merkel could finish introducing him to the father and son, he clamored to see the sword.

Merkel had long been accustomed to his style, made a helpless expression to Donner, and said to Richard, "Richard, can you lend your sword to Mr. Victor to see?"

Richard looked at his brother, who gave him an affirmative look, so he unsheathed the sword from his waist and handed it to Victor along with the scabbard.

Victor reached out and took it, unsheathed his sword, and found another place with suitable light, and looked at it carefully. There are no fluctuations in any magic elements, and the pattern in front of me has never been seen before, but it is definitely not a magic array, and the lines on it do not conform to the basic principles of magic array drawing. It doesn't look like a totem for a dwarf or a dwarf.

He tried to speak: "Merkel, you're right, these patterns are the crux of the matter. As he spoke, he glanced at Donner with his residual vision, and seeing that Donner's expression had not changed, he sighed secretly, and continued: "These patterns are carved with a stainless steel carving knife...... " He dragged a long voice, and Yu Guang glanced at Donner's smiling expression, and immediately changed his words: "...... Apparently not!"

Merkel felt that his old face might have turned red, but he didn't expect that the only growth of his old friend over the years was that his skin was thicker.

Victor touched the pattern on the sword and tried to release his mental power. Strangely, this pattern penetrates deep into the inside of the sword body, intertwined and entangled, and the pattern is composed of the same material, but it is slightly different.

"Awesome, this pattern has actually penetrated deep into the inside of the sword body. This time, all he could see was Donner's surprised expression.

Donner didn't know his identity as a magician, he didn't expect him to be able to exert mental power induction, thinking that he was all observant, if so, then Victor might not be far from the end of the mystery.

"Alright, the problem is solved. Victor said proudly: "The inside of this sword is entangled and layered with materials of different properties, so it is both hard and tough, and it has an interesting structure!"

"Can you see how it was made?" asked Merkel.

Oh, Merkel Merkel, I think you are mistaken, you must know that we naturalists are only responsible for observing and interpreting the essence of things. As for how you built it, that's just a matter of engineering. It seems that you have been so influenced by the Northerners who have too much strength, old man, that I really need to explain to you more about the profundity of naturalism. ”

"But didn't you come here to solve the mystery of how this sword was made?"

"That's when I thought you had discovered a new magic circle here, and I have a feeling that you deliberately misled me. How could I possibly be interested in sword refining, and would you be one of those dwarves of the Filthy Lands?"

Donner didn't know who the dwarves of the Filthy Lands were, but it didn't sound like a compliment. But since he is regarded as dumb by everyone, he can only suppress his curiosity.

"Sir??" , this is Richard's voice.

Only then did Victor realize that his words just now were a little disrespectful to the father and son, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm sorry, please don't get me wrong, I'm full of respect for craftsmen, I'm talking about those greedy dwarves??"

The naturalist looked down at Richard, and suddenly noticed that the comments about the dwarf also seemed to be misleading, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

"Sir, may I ask you what a naturalist is?"

As soon as Richard's question was asked, Merkel's expression suddenly became depressed, and Donner saw it in his eyes, with a vague premonition that something was about to happen.

"Haha, kid, your name is ...... Richard, right?" Victor looked at Richard's eyes, as if a dragon had discovered a treasure, and Donner seemed to see drooling from the corners of his mouth, which must be a hallucination.

"Naturalism is the greatest thing in the world, our way of understanding the world, and an attitude of searching for the essence of the world......"

Merkel shook her head, walked to her familiar seat, and sat down abruptly. Donner thought to himself, should it be such an exaggeration.

Not an exaggeration at all.

At Triss School of Magic, everyone knows that when Professor Victor talks about naturalism, your first choice is to slip away, or you'll spend the rest of your day in nightmarish spells. Taking the initiative to ask him like Richard is like a martyr who feeds wolves.

"Son, you already have the most important potential of a naturalist, curiosity......" He then glanced at Merkel with disdain, who rolled his eyes at him.

"Naturalism is so vast that no matter how much time I have given me, I can't explain it all...... But...... I can tell you about my recent research direction, graphics ......" Victor seems to have forgotten that he was dealing with the son of a fourteen-year-old country blacksmith. Well, he hasn't found an audience for too long.

When Donner woke up from his nap, he saw Mr. Victor and Richard both squatting, the former holding a few thin branches, writing and drawing on the ground, and muttering words in his mouth. Richard looked in pain.

"Look, isn't it amazing to draw such a precise and perfect shape with the simplest of tools? Next, I'll teach you how to ...... a line segment" Victor didn't intend to stop.

Donner took a closer look, and the drawings on the ground were all Euclidean geometry that he was familiar with, and it seemed that the level of mathematics in this world was only equivalent to that of ancient Greece. These simple ruler drawings have already fascinated Victor.

Richard looked up at his brother with a look of pleading, the child had paid enough for his untimely curiosity.

Donner crouched down, took a twig, first drew a corner on the ground, hastily divided the corner into three parts, and then looked at Victor with a sincere expression.

"You're asking, how do you divide this angle in thirds? "Coming to this blacksmith shop is the most correct thing to do recently, and I actually met two children who are interested in naturalism at once.

Donner nodded vigorously, his face pretending to be sincere and studious, but he was smiling in his heart.

"That's a good question, I've just explained to Richard how to divide a corner, and yours just ......need to go a little deeper," Victor said, drawing a corner, and began to study the problem of graphics, which he didn't think was too difficult.

Five minutes later, Victor was still drawing.

Half an hour later, he had already drawn a large piece of the ground, he had to change a piece of land, continue to try, sweat was already on his forehead, he looked up at the two children from time to time, "It would be good to have a little while......

An hour later, Victor had forgotten about the people around him, and Richard hurried for a walk while he wasn't paying attention. Merkel couldn't help but stand up and watch him draw, occasionally glancing at Donner in confusion.

Donner still has a harmless expression, watching Victor plunge into this mathematical problem that has plagued earthlings for thousands of years, he can't help but feel a little sympathetic, but after thinking about it, in order to save his brother Richard, this little prank should be forgiven.
