Chapter 183: Gift-giving
What someone doesn't say is that geniuses are too out of their minds. When imparting basic knowledge, it is inevitable that you will add your own thoughts and opinions. But I am not afraid of these, what I am afraid of is that the genius thinks that everyone is the same as himself, so when he lectures, he skips some things that 'everyone will know', or 'this is very simple, there should be no need to mention it'.
Therefore, when teaching this kind of foundation, Eli Huber, who has a low status and a bad reputation, will be more suitable than the genius Juan Javier. At least the former knows how to keep their feet on the ground.
Elihuber certainly had no problem with such an assignment, and in fact when his colleague was a great magician, he could only choose to passively accept what others had chosen. And Juan Javier thought about it carefully, and it is true, as Tripwood said, that teaching miscellaneous studies is much more interesting than regular learning.
There is no change in the main learning, no matter who teaches it, it will not be able to escape the sixty-nine kinds of magic that the magic apprentices from one to the third ring have started. The relevant content is already written specifically enough in the introductory book. If you let yourself teach, you're bound to get your mind wandering and say tricks, shortcuts, and things like that, but that's not necessarily a good thing.
The foundation is fundamental because each of its steps has a purpose. If you fully grasp it, you will be able to become the food for future progress, and let your knowledge and intelligence grow together. However, if you take the shortcut in the basic stage, unless you can make up for this shortcoming in the future, or have enough talent and wisdom to carry out the shortcut road to the end, such behavior will only become a bottleneck restricting growth in the future.
Miscellaneous studies, however, have no such concerns. Whoever knows more, who is more knowledgeable, and who has mastered more technology can bring corresponding benefits and advantages. In this regard, Juan Javier is still very confident.
Although the association also provided some basic miscellaneous textbooks, how could he be satisfied with the barren content. Juan Javier believes that the children were lucky to hear him teach about magical miscellaneous. Of course, how much they can comprehend depends not only on their own talents, but also on their own moods. If you're in a good mood, talk more, and if you're in a bad mood, talk about it casually.
As for the course taught by Lin himself, it is called 'Nature'. The content not only contains the mathematical content that he handed over to the association, but also involves some wonderful knowledge. After reading the textbook, even Juan Javier was interested in listening to the lecture.
And from the fact that he was listening to someone's explanation of the twenty-four-hour clock of time, the various geometric drawings of the circle, Juan knew one thing, that someone must have a lot of private goods. And this weight is far from being exhaustive in that thin book of mathematics.
After the three magicians had decided on what they were going to teach, John Goodman packed up his room and went to the reception room next to the library to meet the others. Juan Javier, as the Grand Magician, was certainly the first to greet him. Having followed Grand Wizard Greenwyn for a long time, John certainly knew the man of the Lyon district.
After John and several other magicians met with him, Lin took advantage of the presence of Lady Doolie to present two college teachers, a dormitory master, and a warrior instructor with a gift. It was a silver pocket watch with a silver bracelet that was not short.
The cover is made of copper, and the copper cover is added with an iris pattern by etching technology, and then the copper cover is plated with a layer of silver film. These seemingly scientific technologies are completely capable of magical brute force cracking. Lin thought at the time that when he completed it easily and did not encounter any resistance at all, he would be unable to do it.
The surface material is a magical material called Claumi metal, which uses shaping to pull a thin, round surface. The black zirconia graphite, which is specially used to record magic books, is used to draw the scales and numbers on the upper surface, and the advantage of this ink is that it is durable and does not fade. The surface is presented in a point-like twelve-hour layout, using the numerical notation from i to xii to indicate the hours.
The most important indication of time, the hour, minute and second hands, is not a combination of mechanical gears and springs, but a digital pointer-type image that replaces a mechanical clock movement. Of course, this will be greater than the traditional Japanese zigzag number in terms of power consumption, but it cannot be compared in terms of texture.
Receiving such a gift, the four of them were of course overjoyed. Although Madame Dooley and John Goodman got the same thing as the Grand Magician Juan Javier, the two of them were quite terrified. Even Elihuber, who is also a magician, can't help but secretly look at the attitude of a certain great magician.
Fortunately, Juan is a generous man, or he doesn't think such things are offensive. Lin made it clear before giving it that such gifts would only be given to the first batch of educators and facilitators of the college.
On the back of the pocket watch, it is clearly written, 'Sincerely, Orange Fruit EtonHouse College'. Four people, each with a clear signature on the back of the pocket watch.
With such an attitude and respect, everyone's mood was fluttering, and their eyes were red with tears. But to be honest, these things are a makeshift product for Lin Er. Especially for Juan Javier, who only negotiated to join the academy in the morning, he was able to give a signed gift in the afternoon. It's a joke to say how carefully this thing is prepared.
Lin had already made nearly a hundred of the same pocket watches and threw them away at home in the Wulian City community. It was at noon that he sent Halumi back to bring something to engrave by the way.
Both girls write beautifully, but especially the blonde girl prefers to beautify fonts, paintings, and other things, whether it is depicting flowers and plants, birds, beasts and insects. When he learned the art of etching, Harumi was excited to keep doing it. By the time Lin stepped forward to stop her, she had already done hundreds of them, and then the master and apprentice were dumbfounded.
Picking up the remaining materials, nearly 100 pocket watch finishes were made. There are also some semi-finished products that are missing some parts, and Lin didn't think about making up for it for a while.
A real boutique pocket watch was made by Lin himself after the completion of the time server. Entirely made of magic materials, the pointer is not a projected digital pointer. Instead, when the ship knife was made, three thin needles were sharpened from the remaining dragon scale scraps to serve as the hands of the pocket watch. In accord with the puppet technique, it drives the rotation of the pointer.
There is no artistic pattern, instead there is a miniature stacking array of magic arrays, which is a special technique for enchanting small magic items. The dense lines naturally form an inorganic beauty. In terms of the magic stone, a green-eyed flake magic stone is used generously, which is hidden between the surface and the back cover, and the hollowed-out surface part reveals the emerald green color behind it.
This pocket watch is not just a magic tool to tell the time, it is a powerful magic item in itself. Contains apprentice-level three-ring magic, Time Pause. Being able to pause for a certain range of time, up to thirty seconds, or half a minute, can theoretically be achieved. However, it will deplete the green-eyed magic stone power in the pocket watch.
Of course, for this to happen, a certain lich helped in the design of the magic circle. …… It is precisely because of this that this pocket watch only sat on Lin's body for one day, and it became a collector's item of some former evil force. The grumbling man didn't think about making a second pocket watch.
In short, four pocket watches bought four hearts very well. It may be impossible to let the other party die, but with more cooperation in the affairs of the academy, Lin is extremely grateful, and he does not expect to ask for more.
This kind of behavior has more or less entered the academy, in the eyes of the group of apprentices. It can be seen that they are also eager for such novelty as pocket watches. However, Lin Ke did not let go easily, and gave one to each apprentice, although he could do it.
I have long thought that pocket watches can be used as an incentive and reward for their learning. But there is no need to say those words now, because before that, we must let this group of little guys who have never seen the world seriously understand what exam hell is. And before that, it was a hell of military education.
However, if the academy is to officially open tomorrow, there is still a lot of preparation work to be busy. In addition, tomorrow is a new week, and there will be snow in the weather forecast, so it is natural to prepare for this. For example, storing materials, inspecting whether the doors and windows are secure, whether there are gaps in the building that will cause air leakage, and of course, the condition of the roof, rain shelter and other facilities. If it is not strong or damaged, it will be damaged by a large amount of snow.
When everything was settled, I returned to my home in the community, and it was already dark.
Different from yesterday's murderous appearance, Fen is dressed in a brown bear puppet costume, and the bottom is quite loose clothes, just to be comfortable. Seeing Master Lin and his apprentices coming back, she was quite surprised and said, "I thought you would live there and not come back." ”
"In my personal experience, it's better to work at a separate location from where you live at home. Otherwise, the hourly system will inexplicably become a responsibility system, and the responsibility system will evolve into a 24-hour system. In the end, he did his best and died. ”
The Lich may not be able to understand the terrier from Earth, but at least she understands that someone doesn't want to live in the Academy. Fen asked another question: "It's not a waste of time to run back and forth every day." ”
"It's a waste, yes, but there's no way. If you don't want to be tied up in that place. After all, a job close to home will only be a dream. ”
For various reasons, Lin did not think about living in the academy, even though there was a room for himself. But if you want to commute, you have to think about transportation. Otherwise, I will give myself the help of acceleration every time, and run a marathon for another hour......
This is just the first trip, and there will be another marathon on the way back......
Sounds like a great way to lose weight.
I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Starry Sky of the Magic Tower", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
