Inside the study.

Roman Sagan carefully read the manuscript that Colin had brought, and let out a long puff of smoke rings.

"The Gilman people have always been unique in this kind of logical calculation, and they have come to this point by mistake."

"When the disciple first found out, he was also surprised." Colin sat in the chair outside his desk.

"Unfortunately, the direction was wrong at the beginning, and no matter how hard you try, it won't help. Judging by the fact that they used this technology to protect the magic pattern, the Gilmans did not realize its true meaning at all. ”

Roman continued with a relaxed expression: "Elemental research is sometimes so magical, just a little angle, the result is very different, looking back, how many magical achievements have been delayed for hundreds of years because of this, and perhaps many great discoveries have passed by us. ”

Colin remembered all kinds of scientific research discoveries in his previous life, nodded very approvingly, and said:

"Fortunately, sometimes the wrong way can lead to good results, at least they have inspired me a lot."

Roman smiled: "It seems that the three-year period I set for you is too conservative. ”

As if he was afraid that the teacher would regret it, Colin quickly changed the topic and said:

"Teacher, I'm going to take next month's preliminary assessment."

Roman paused as he smoked, and then said softly, "Are you sure?" ”

"I asked my senior sister about the content of the assessment, and I think it should be about the same." Colin replied.

"I'm confident in your written exam, but Tessa should have told you that the main focus of the assessment is on the use of spells and the strength of mental power, both of which I have never given you any guidance since you awakened, and you never seem to have asked me about related questions."

Roman seemed to hold back this for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to ask.

"Because the teacher's 'meditation notes' and 'spell construction legends' are clearer and more valuable than all the books that everyone else has written."

"Your sycophants are still consistently pleasant."

Roman snorted, put down his pipe, and continued:

"The ratio of magic learning time recommended by the association now is '2 hours of meditation + 2 hours of spell training + 4~8 hours of elemental research', which was set when I was the president, and many people would follow it at that time, but now that I have retired for twenty years, although the regulations are still there, not many people have done it.

"Today's magicians are eager to use meditation instead of sleeping, but they don't know that without a solid theoretical foundation and a clear concept of the elements, meditation cultivation will sooner or later encounter a bottleneck."

"That's what the teacher said." Colin hurriedly chimed in.

"You're not much better!" Roman suddenly said angrily: "1 hour of meditation and spell training, and the remaining 23 hours are all for elemental research, right?" ”

"The disciple knows his mistake." Colin had no intention of justifying it at all.

"Magicians are human beings, and rest is just as important."

"Yes."

"Also." Roman picked up his pipe again and said, "What the hell do you think?" Really don't care about your strength? ”

"I think now is the best time to study the elements, after all, there is a teacher, I don't need to be how strong I am, who would dare to bully me?" Colin grinned.

Roman was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing:

"I thought you were stupid, but it turns out that you are the most treacherous one."

He then added, "But you're right, no one will embarrass you for at least 20 years." ”

"Why 20 years?" Colin was puzzled.

"Although magicians live longer than ordinary people, they can't escape the law of time after all, and I will grow old one day."

"But I remember that the average life expectancy of a magister is 140 years, let alone a teacher'......"

"You're right."

Roman let out a long puff of smoke ring: "In my current state, it is not a problem to live for another 50 years, but living does not mean that there is still a deterrent, the past 20 years, and the next 20 years, are my peak, after this time, it will begin to decline - why do people only think of me Roman Sagan when they talk about the Tulun Kingdom?" You must know that Tulum has a total of 4 Magisters. ”

Without waiting for Colin to answer, Roman continued: "The other three, among whom Beuys Hawthorn is over 150 years old and has nothing but fame, Fabian Orlando and Winifred Michel are still young and far less powerful and prestigious. ”

Colin is also familiar with the "Who's Who of Modern Magic", so he naturally knows the other three magisters of the Tulum Kingdom.

But to sum it up, there is only one sentence: the old is old, the little is small.

He suddenly remembered that in almost every edition of Who's Guide, the author would rank all the well-known Magisters according to his own opinions, and Fang Yeshi was even more happy with this kind of thing.

Thinking that there was a living magister at the top of the list all year round, he couldn't help but whisper:

"Teacher, so how strong are you?"

"Is it that those messy rankings are too much?" Roman saw through his mind at a glance.

"Hehe, I'm just a little curious." Colin scratched his head.

"That kind of ranking is meaningless. In terms of individual strength, the Dwarven King McGwell is recognized as the strongest, but aren't the Dwarves forced to build cities underground? ”

Roman sneered and asked, "You just want to know if it's true that those who ranked me first in the list of Magisters are true. ”

"Uh-huh." Colin immediately sat upright and listened carefully.

"I don't want to tell you if I want to." Roman spat out a near-perfect smoke ring.

Colin was deflated.

Roman suddenly sighed: "What I am most proud of in this life is the research results of a large number of elements in the first half of my life, but the world only knows to pay attention to my strength, which is really sad." ”

Colin, who had read Roman's research notes, nodded slightly, very agreeable.

"Anything else?" Roman is ready to chase people out.

"By the way, teacher, just now the Youjin Chamber of Commerce sent someone to ......."

As Colin recounted Harvey's visit, he took out the gold bank deposit ticket and the two house deeds and put them on his desk.

Roman plucked his pipe twice and smiled, "So you think there's something wrong here?" ”

"Lady Phinea has a close relationship with the Mage Tower, and I don't want to doubt her, but these things are too valuable to be a reward at all."

"And what do you think it is?" Roman asked.

"Maybe it's because of you, teacher......"

"You're really wrong."

Roman interrupted him and said, "I have never given any substantial help to the Youjin Chamber of Commerce except for a name, but I have to share half of the Chamber of Commerce's profits every year. ”

"The fame of a teacher is certainly not cheap." Colin Road.

"Having said that, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't owe me anything, and Finia's girl will honor me a lot of extra things every year, and she doesn't need to change hands through you at all." Roman Road.

"Then why ......"

"Quite simply, she's investing."
