Chapter 35: Puffs and Change
"Sir Charlene, there are two girls here, how can there be two of them besides you?"
Elsa laughed softly at Xia Lin's witty tone, pointing out the language problem in Xia Lin's words.
"Of course, there is more than one cream puff, could it be that Her Royal Highness the Queen's heart would not want to taste the delicious taste of the puffs with her best friend?"
Xia Lin blinked and smiled calmly, and steadily pushed the wooden box in the direction of the two girls with his right hand, looking at Queen Dorothea, wanting to carefully observe her reaction.
It is a profound knowledge to probe a person's character and ability through words and deeds, and Xia Lin's level is only to this extent, and he wants to take this opportunity to see if Her Royal Highness is as magnanimous and enlightened and wise as Ellen said.
"Elsa, let's eat together! My friends can share everything about me, of course. ”
Queen Dorothea nodded and showed her heart with words, she used her fork to stick a puff, the slight crispiness on the outside and the softness on the inside made her slightly curious.
After taking a closer look, she found that it was the cream that had been injected into the shell to form such a touch, so she bowed her head slightly and put the puffs in her mouth with Elsa, who was delighted on the side.
Click!
A slight sound comes from between the lips and teeth, and the rich aroma of wheat and butter enters the nasal passages, followed by a smooth, creamy flavor bursting out in the mouth.
The two very different flavors are perfectly combined by the interesting structure of this dessert, which gives the taster a unique sense of surprise.
"Sir Natsurin, who made Izumo candy and cakes that are said to be 'even the emperor's majesty', are delicious, and your new dessert called Cream Puff is also delicious!"
After savoring the taste of the cream puffs, Queen Dorothea blinked her eyes and praised with surprise.
"Thank you for the praise of Her Royal Highness, the rumors of the cake are just gossip in the market, I have only made a small achievement, in fact, compared to exploring the mystery of magic, I have not spent a lot of energy in this area."
Xia Lin didn't expect this rumor to reach the ears of the princess, but he still didn't change his expression, with a proper smile on his face, and he didn't know whether to be humble or proud.
"Poof! Sure enough, Sir Charin is different from the mages I've seen before, you're so funny! ”
Elsa on the side couldn't help but smile, with a hint of ridicule in her words.
"Actually, Miss Elsa's feelings are not wrong, I am not quite the same as a traditional mage.
While the goal is to explore the mysteries of magic, they are to gain greater power and control over their own destiny and that of others.
And I'm here to change the world through the power of magic and make everyone's lives better.
Of course, there is more to this purpose than magic, so in addition to the study of magic, I have also done a lot of business, and I should be 1/3 mage, 1/3 craftsman, and 1/3 merchant. ”
Taking advantage of Elsa's handing over the words, Xia Lin said with a slight smile.
"Change the world? What do you mean? ”
The Empress Dorothea was really interested in this topic, and the corners of her mouth hooked up into a smile, and she asked with interest.
"In my vision, magic should be to change people's life-related things, not to kill others on the battlefield.
For example, if the cotton, flax, and raw silk grown on the farmland can be spun into garments through the mechanized and automated textile factories managed by the Golem core, then everyone will no longer be short of clothes and shiver in the cold wind.
The food had automatic agricultural golems to help with sowing, plowing, fertilizing, killing insects, weeding, and harvesting, and the peasants could take care of the land of a dozen ars alone, and from then on food would no longer bother the empire.
Dwellings are high-rise buildings tens of meters or hundreds of meters high, each of which is large enough to accommodate hundreds or thousands of people. It is equipped with magic furniture, whether it is lighting, cooking, cleaning, or washing, it can be achieved through magic.
Traveling in a magic-powered vehicle, without the need for a groom to feed the delicate horses, it only takes three days to drive from Helgana to the port of France.
Your Royal Highness, Miss Elsa, can you imagine? People no longer worry about food and clothing, three meals a day, breakfast is bread and milk, and can be accompanied by a fried egg, lunch and dinner can have chicken, duck and fish, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
There is a bright magic lamp overhead, and there is a convenient and clean magic stove for cooking.
Open a device with water and clean water will automatically flow out of the pipe, so you don't have to go to the river or the well to fetch water.
If you want to see different scenery in other parts of the Empire, you only need to spend a few copper bis or a silver mar to buy a ticket, and you can take two or three days to reach any corner of the empire you want to reach in a magic locomotive! ”
Xia Lin combined the possible uses of magic to draw a blueprint of the world of his previous life, and the corner of the future world depicted by his words really attracted the two young girls, Queen Dorothea and Elsa.
"OMG! It will take three days to reach the port of law, I'm afraid that the mages will use flying skills at this speed, right? ”
Elsa is not very interested in other things, but she is very interested in the magic locomotive that Xia Lin said.
Maybe she also had the experience of going out in a carriage only to be turned upside down.
"Sounds great, but the odds are low. Leaving aside the price to be paid for doing so, Sir Charlin, what are the unwanted tailors, farmers, and grooms going to do? ”
Compared to her innocent friend, Dorothea thought for a moment, but asked a rather sharp question.
"In the process of changing the world with magic and what I call technology, there will inevitably be the death of old industries and the birth of new ones.
For example, without the job of tailoring, tailors can focus on designing all kinds of beautiful clothes and leading the fashion trend, after all, golems do not distinguish between human beauty and ugliness.
The redundant farmer will be transformed into a factory, that is, a worker in the transformed workshop, responsible for controlling and managing the magic machine, and the groom will become the driver of the magic locomotive, no longer feeding and driving the horses, but responsible for driving the magic locomotive. ”
Hearing the question raised by Princess Dorothea, Xia Lin was surprised in his heart, and felt a little amazed at Princess Dorothea's keenness.
He found that this princess was indeed not an empty vase with an appearance, as Ellen said, but had extremely profound insights into the essence of many things, and her ability was definitely quite outstanding.
If you can get on the big ship of the princess, maybe the future can be expected, Xia Lin thought silently.
But at the moment, he was just a little mage and a little knight who was invited over because of food like cakes, and his actual status was about the same as the joker at the court ball.
If you want to enter the eyes of the princess and successfully join the enlightened sect where the princess belongs and achieve a certain status, I am afraid it is still far away.
