Chapter 0122 - The Art of Photography
Through Harrie, Aldington has learned the specific identity of the Grand Wizard of Shamir.
Born as a commoner, he was accidentally chosen as a magic apprentice by a magician, and soon showed his magical talent. Forty-seven years old this year, but he has already reached the level of a great magician, but his qualifications are not enough, and he is still a great magician. He is now the head of the Teaching Department of the Magical Society.
While helping to train magic apprentices and magicians from all over the world, he is concentrating on the study of light magic that he is good at.
While waiting, Aldington had already briefly finished reading the book "Shamir's Illumination Divergence", which mentioned the use of light to freeze the frame to achieve the stop of the scene. This made Aldington happy, and he just wanted to learn about it and see if he could develop a technology.
"Photos!"
There is no photographic technology in the Plantagenet Kingdom, and the illustrations in the newspapers are all drawn by hand, which shows that photography is still a vacuum field.
"The Magic Association has a strict patent system, if I can cooperate with this Shamir Grand Magician, I provide ideas, he provides technology, and then develops photographic technology, I am afraid that the licensing fee alone will not worry about food and drink, right?" Aldington thought a little bit in his heart.
Without a fixed output of the Thunder Power Bloodline Elixir, he would need to spend a lot of money to cultivate his Dou Qi, and the Iris family had a tight financial situation during this time.
In order not to add a burden to his family, he wanted to find a regular way for himself to earn money in this way.
Soon Harrie returned: "I'm sorry, Knight Aldington, Grand Wizard Shamir has gone to the ball for President Biboqi's promotion ceremony, and is not in the Mage Tower for the time being. ”
"Okay, I'll visit next time, I'll borrow this copy of Shamir's Illumination Divergence." Aldington wasn't in a hurry.
In fact, he has to be cautious about this kind of academic cooperation, although it is not necessarily that Shamir dares to hack his creativity, and it is always at fault to be careful.
In the evening he waited for Hector at the Butterfly Villa Castle, where he stayed for the time being, but did not return every night.
"Aldington, you haven't rested yet?"
"I'm waiting for you, uncle."
"Uh, wait until I have something?"
"There is a little thing to ask, uncle still remember that I mentioned to you that I want to run a newspaper?" Aldington said.
Hector was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Are you still thinking about running a newspaper, well, I feel that there is no future for running a newspaper, besides...... Besides, I've been too busy with business lately, and I may be a little nervous on my hands, and I can't afford to sponsor you to start a newspaper for the time being. ”
He mistakenly believed that Aldington had come to him to ask for sponsorship money for the newspaper.
Aldington laughed: "I don't plan to start a newspaper anymore, I don't want to say whether it will succeed or not, and I don't have the energy to manage the content of the newspaper every day." I have a very brilliant idea for magic, and I want to work with you, uncle, to see if I can make it happen, and once it happens, I don't think Lev will need to be missing at all. ”
"Oh, magic ideas?"
"Yes."
"Tell me, why are you interested in magic again, isn't it unattractive to be vindictive? You've signed a big cat, don't you want to be promoted to Phantom Beast Knight as soon as possible and put on the Phantom Beast Armor as soon as possible? As an elder, Hector felt that he still had to warn his nephew.
It's just that his character has long since collapsed, and Aldington said to himself: "That's the case, there are too many beauties in the world, and we can't keep it for eternity." Friends and family who are far away may not see each other more than a few times in their lives. In that case, why not invent a magic that can leave images. ”
Hector was unimpressed at first, but after listening to it, he suddenly groaned: "This idea...... It's kind of interesting. ”
"So I came up with the idea of a magic idea to capture our people or landscapes on a piece of paper through light and shadow capture. It's like a painter painting, but we use magic to directly capture the most real way of things on paper, as if they were real. ”
"Can you really do that by capturing light and shadow?"
"How do you know if you don't try it, I'm going to visit Grand Magician Shamir, he has a lot of knowledge in light magic, I think I can talk to him."
"It's time to talk about it, if it really happens, the value of this magic shouldn't be small." Hector was not a time-traveler and did not know the great prospects of photography, but he thought it would be interesting to perform this magic, so that he could publish his most handsome side in the newspapers.
Let all the aristocratic ladies and ladies see his demeanor, instead of looking at those obviously distorted portraits.
"This magic, we have the right to three parts of the copyright, Shamir and the Magic Association count as a copy, Eagle Strike Sky Family counts as a share, and Iris Family counts as a share."
"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that neither of you nor I had enshrined a magician who studied light magic, in fact, I wouldn't have to cooperate with Shamir."
"It's more beneficial for us to charge a licensing fee to have the Magic Association help promote it."
"That's right."
The two of them had made up their minds, and the next day they went to the Magic Association together and visited the Grand Magician Shamir. The Great Mage of Shamir is a Matrix Scholar class in the Magic Hexagram, and also cultivates Elemental Messengers. On his office floor, he hosted the Aldingtons.
"Viscount Hector, Knight Aldington, welcome to the Magic Society, my apprentices are clumsy, I hope you don't dislike it." Shamir, now forty-seven years old, still has a very young face, a broad forehead, a high nose, handsome, but very imposing.
"I wonder if Lord Shamir is interested in collaborating on the development of new magic?"
"Collaborate on magic?"
"Yes, developed with the Eagle Strike Sky Family and the Iris Family, a promising magic."
Shamir raised his eyebrows and asked directly, "Do the two families provide the funds for the study of magic?" If you provide funds, of course I am willing to cooperate, but my research field is mainly in the area of light magic, and I don't have much results and experience in matrix products. ”
"What we fancy is your attainments in light magic, so we asked you to cooperate, all the funds will be provided by us, and we will give you a certain stake in the Magic Association."
Shamil was more simply than he imagined: "In that case, why should I refuse, do I need to sign a magic contract?" "Someone provides research funds, of course this good thing can't be refused, the magician's ability to make money on his own is not enough, after all, all major industries are monopolized by nobles.
The little money of the Magic Association can only be shared by fighting for blood, so many magicians are seeking the worship of nobles.
"Then sign a magic contract first, how about a legal contract?"
"I'm okay with that."
