Wald couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been to the Magic Society, and he thought that he had passed the exam with the first grade in the same period, and was personally received by the president, Berkeley Payne.

That night, how many people lined up at the door of the association, just to be able to invite him to the banquet they had set up.

It's a pity that more than a year later, he was expelled from the association, and those investors who originally touted him to the sky immediately avoided him, and now, four years later, he has fallen from the original rising star to a lost dog.

He didn't blame Lord Payne, or even those merchants who only looked at profits, after all, no one was obliged to provide for him in vain, he only hated himself for giving birth to a very fantastical head, but he had no ability to solve problems.

"Hello, I'm looking for Colin Wayne."

Wald walked to the reception desk with trepidation, he had spent money on the cheapest magic robes, but the original badge had been lost, and he had never had the face to apply for it again.

"Who are you?"

Wald...... My name is Wald. ”

"Please follow me."

Surprisingly smooth.

Because he was completely immersed in his own world, Wald didn't know anything about Colin Vane, a name that had swept the magic world for nearly half a year, and after he went back last night, he also wanted to find out who this young man who even Lady Fenia respected him was, but he suddenly realized that he didn't even have a person around him to ask, and he instantly felt lonely like never before.

……

Top floor of the library.

In a private reading room, Colin looked at the man in front of him and recognized it for a long time before he was convinced that it was indeed the Wald from yesterday.

His beard had been shaved clean, his hair had been washed and combed, his face and body had been washed of the black dust, and he had been replaced with a cheap but new and clean magic robe.

Except for the emaciation and rough skin caused by long-term malnutrition and poor living conditions, it is almost impossible to see the original depression.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne."

Although I don't know who the young man in front of me is, being able to give a random gift to a stranger and rent a private room in the library at least shows that his status is not low. This library VIP room costs at least 10 silver dong for one use, and I am reluctant to rent it when I am at my most generous.

"You may be seated, Mr. Wald, it looks like you're in a much better spirit."

"Thank you for the gift, I finally enjoyed meat and wine last night after many years, I mean...... If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely return the money to you. Walder cautiously sat down on the soft fur couch.

Colin was noncommittal, closed the book he was reading just now, sat up straight, and said:

"I remember you said yesterday that you wanted to meet the designer of the photograph, right?"

"Yes...... Yes. Wald nodded a little unconfidently.

"I can help you with that." Colin Road.

"Thank you......"

"Still." Colin interrupted, "Before I do that, I need you to do some preparations. ”

"Ready?"

"Yes."

Colin leaned back slightly on the sofa and said seriously, "Mr. Wald, do you know what your own problem is?" ”

"My problem ......"

"You were able to pass the assessment with the first score in the written test, I believe that you have worked theoretical knowledge, but why did you become like this in the next few years?"

"Because ......," Wald was speechless for a moment.

"From your design writing, I can see that you are very active in thinking, careful and rigorous in calculation, if you can be down-to-earth, it is not difficult to make a career."

"But I don't like that kind of life."

Wald clenched his fists unconsciously, and Lord Payne had said the same thing to him, but the endless ideas in his head made him unwilling to do other repetitive research.

"That's your problem." Colin said: "Your theoretical knowledge is already quite good, but it's a pity that your ideas are wilder.

"To put it bluntly, your knowledge reserve can't keep up with your innovative thinking."

Wald was stunned for a long time before he struggled and said, "I'm the first ...... in the written exam."

"Yes, Mr. Wald, I don't deny it, but ask yourself, how much more time will you spend in the library each day after passing the exam? In addition to calculations and experiments, do you continue to learn new knowledge?

"If you're just looking to improve on an existing magic item, maybe your knowledge is enough, but unfortunately, you're setting your sights on something completely innovative like the 'gramophone'.

"You use the knowledge you accumulated during your magic apprenticeship to try to complete the research of the Great Magician, do you know how outrageous this is? Let's not forget that even Schiller Mora failed. ”

Wald was there as if struck by lightning.

Over the years, he thought that he was not only smarter than others, but also more diligent than others, and he should not end up in this situation at all, those magicians who were at the same time as him, some were rich, some were famous, and some had even been promoted to the middle level, but he was the most optimistic at the beginning, but he was the most down.

Is it really that you are too ambitious?

Realizing this, Wald was even more painful than before, and had at least daily hope, but after some analysis by Colin Wayne, it seemed that there would never be a chance to turn around.

Do you really want to go back and do some research that you didn't look down on at all?

"I'm not reconciled......," he said, almost gritting his teeth.

"Of course you will be unwilling, you have seen the sea, where can you stay in the stream, I tell you so much, and I don't want you to lower your body to do those low-level research."

"But......," Wald looked up in a daze.

"It's commendable to like fruits from high places, but in order to pick them, I suggest you put a few more bricks under your feet."

After Colin finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the bookshelf to the side.

"These are the 32 research books on sound waves that I have selected for you, and if you can read them in 10 days and have some understanding, I will let you meet the designers of the photographers."

"Okay." Wald's fighting spirit instantly regained a lot.

"I've paid for this room for 30 days, and I've asked Lord Payne for you to get access to the top floor of the library, and besides, the 1 gold lang I gave you should be enough for you for a while."

"Thank you again for your gift." Wald bent down.

"Don't rush to thank you, if you're still not inspired after reading these books, I can only say that even if you meet the designer, it's just one more blow."

"I'll do my best." Wald was clearly a little less arrogant than he had at the beginning.

Colin stood up, grabbed his coat and hat, and strode out of the room.

As he closed the door, he glanced at Wald, who had already opened his first book.

"Mr. Wald."

Wald looked up at Colin Vane at the door, only to see the young man smile kindly at him, "Remember, there is no end to learning. ”
