Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Fort Romer, the capital of gold.

Botanical Gardens of the Royal Botanical Society.

The name of this place is very atmospheric, but it is actually just a garden of less than 20 rams, and the main reason why it got the prefix 'royal' is because there is no competition.

The owner of the botanical academy is called Buren. Nether, a level 5 archmage, is a count lord, the second prince, and the uncle of the high-level 15-star mage Orogaard.

Since he is the eldest brother of the prince, and he is studying unpopular botanical knowledge, it is naturally easy to drill into the camp a little bit and give his manor a 'royal' prefix.

At this moment, the 55-year-old Level 5 Archmage was wearing a leather apron, his arms were sleeve-covered, and even his hair and beard were tied up.

'Whoo~~Whoo~~Whew~~~~'

'Gaji~Gaji~Gaji~~'

The movement was a little strange, but if a glassworker came, it was immediately known that someone was grinding lenses with a foot mill.

Grinding lenses is both rough and delicate work, and it is one of the few elegant techniques recognized by the upper class.

Because the sharpened lenses can be used to explore the lofty realm of the starry sky.

Of course, as a rare master of botanical law in the golden land, Buren naturally has no interest in the starry sky.

The purpose of his grinding mirror is to see the veins of the leaves.

As the feet continued to step on, the cast iron grinding ball spun unfast, a small water ball floated on the side of the ball, and another grinding powder floated on the other side, constantly falling on the sphere, while the lens was controlled by the third mage's hand, firmly pressed on the sphere.

Just grind it for a while, take it out and check it for a while, and then adjust the grinding angle to continue.

While he was concentrating, there was a knock on the door of the mirror grinding room, and the butler's faint voice came in.

"Master, Master Dalyan has come to you and said that he has brought you a precious gift that will make you jump for joy."

Bren was stunned, his hand moved, and the lenses suddenly shook, so an unforgivable flaw appeared.

He was suddenly annoyed: "It's really not the right time to come!" ”

Annoyed, he said, "There is nothing in this world that can make me jump for joy, you let that kid wait for me." ”

Dalyan was his personal apprentice, and he spent twenty years teaching him from a hairy kid who didn't know anything to a high-level 12-star mage, and found him a decent job at the Royal Academy of Sorcery.

The relationship between the two parties is as close as father and son.

So, when he said this, Bren knew that Dalyan would definitely push the door in by himself.

Sure enough, not long after the words fell, the door was pushed open, and a slightly sad voice of a young man came from the door.

"Mentor, you are so ruthless, I have brought you good things with good intentions, but you have turned me away."

The lenses were worn poorly, and he didn't bother to continue grinding, wiped some of the paint on his hands, and turned his head to look at the disciple who was smiling facelessly.

"Tell me, what gifts did you bring?"

At the door stood a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a pleasant baby face, a somewhat fat figure, and a blessed appearance.

"Mentor, it's in your observation room, and I'm sure that when you truly understand the power of this thing, you'll be rewarded to my apprentice."

Bren took off his leather bib and handed it to the butler on the side, and scolded with a smile: "Then I will reward you with ten whips!" ”

Dalyan smiled: "As long as the mentor is happy, twenty lashes are fine." ”

While the master and apprentice were talking and laughing, they came to the bright observation room of the stone-roofed building.

The so-called observation room, the full name of the plant growth observation room, is the place where Bren is used to study the laws of plant growth.

In order to let in more sunlight, three walls of the entire room are equipped with expensive high-transmittance glass.

In the middle of the observation room is a large solid wood table with a variety of gadgets and air-dried specimens of plant leaves.

In the open space in the middle of the table sat a delicate wooden chest with a beautiful Mithril key on the side of the chest.

The sunlight shone on the Mithril Key, reflecting a brilliant light, like the key that opened the treasure house of the gods' knowledge.

Bren was stunned: "The workmanship of the shell is good, what is it loaded with?" ”

The apprentice no longer concealed it, and said softly: "The microscopic mirror produced by the Crescent Leader of the Yellow Water Highland in the Northern Territory is made by Master Lawson, the master of flow numbers. ”

Bren's breathing stagnated slightly: "What Master Helevin said about the microscope? ”

"That's right, and it's many times more powerful than the microscopic mirror predicted by the master, so powerful that it opens up an incredible new world."

Bren's heart trembled a little: "New world? ”

"For example, it can help you see the truth hidden inside the leaves."

"It's expensive, isn't it, how much did it cost?"

"Sixteen thousand kilograms, and there are only ten in total in the whole emperor."

"In order to help my mentor grab this microscope, I spent all my savings. Mentor, you have to compensate me well. ”

As an archmage and the city lord of Ruby City in the Middle Realm, Bren was certainly able to come up with the money, but he was also a little surprised.

"So expensive?"

"All I can say is that the expensive price set off its powerful features."

"That's right."

Bren stepped forward, picked up the key and inserted it into the keyhole, but at first he couldn't twist it, and he didn't dare to use it too hard, for fear of breaking it.

Immediately, a disciple's voice came from beside him: "Infuse mana, master." ”

Bren did so, and felt the key shake slightly, faintly tingling, and twisted again.

There was a crisp click, and the door opened, and inside was a piece of equipment that had never been seen before, but the workmanship was very exquisite, and the materials were very strange.

Bren carefully took out the expensive equipment worth 16,000 kilograms, looked at it carefully, and gave an evaluation.

"The workmanship is very good, and unique petrochemical materials are used, but in terms of materials alone, they are far from worth the price."

Dalyan smiled slightly, and took out the mirror box from the side: "Mentor, that's just a frame, it's really worth here." ”

He gently opened the lid and saw that there were 8 beautiful shots inside.

Bren looked at the lens of his glasses, and his heart shook violently.

"Good glass ~ good lens!"

He picked up an eyepiece and looked closely, and found that the glass inlaid with this thing was really good, pure, white, like a diamond, and then looked closely, and found that there was a number marked under the lens.

I looked at the other lenses and saw that each shot was marked with a number.

Dalyan knew what the Mentor was thinking as soon as he looked at his eyes, and immediately explained.

"There are two kinds of mirrors. The product of one eyepiece and one objective lens is the specific magnification. ”

"By the way, there is one that is more unique in the objective lens."

"That's it, it's called an oil glass, the magnification is the largest, and when you use it, you have to use it with this special transparent oil."

He said as he demonstrated to his mentor.

"You see, the eyepiece is here, the objective lens is like this, and the one below is a constant light array, which is used to supplement the light."

Bren understood: "So, the set of lenses you have now can magnify 500 times?" ”

"That's right."

Bren felt his heart beat faster and leaned in to look at it, but he couldn't see anything.

"Nothing."

"Don't worry, mentor. Let me show you how. ”

This method was taught by the other party's technical commissioner, and he learned it for a long time.

When I finished my studies, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.

He first took out a stack of very pure and flat square glass from the wooden box, carefully adjusted it according to the instructions for use, took a small piece of fresh leaves and put it on the observation table, and carefully adjusted the focus.

"Mentor, look, the new world is in the mirror."

Bren leaned in to look at it, and after taking a look, he felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain, his brain was slightly dizzy, and he hurriedly closed his eyes, relieved his mind for a while, and then went up to look again.

At this glance, the mind is completely intoxicated.

"It turns out that the veins are hollow pipes~ It turns out that the leaves are made of small particles."

"Mentor, this little particle has been named 'cell' by a biologist named Vivian."

"She discovered that as long as life is made, it is made up of these small particles called 'cells.'"

"At the same time, the cells of beasts are very different from the cells of plants and trees."

Hearing this, Bren suddenly felt a little lost, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Hmm~~ Am I late?"

Dalyan fully understood the teacher's thoughts and immediately comforted.

"The Mentor, though a step late, was one of the first guests to see the new world. After all, there are only ten microscopic mirrors in the entire imperial capital. ”

"As far as I know, the number of microscopes in the entire Golden Land does not exceed 20. Except for the ten stations in the imperial capital, the others are all in Crescent Town. ”

"I've heard of the Master of Streaming, but Crescent Town. The name is a bit unfamiliar. ”

"Soon everyone will know, Mentor."

"Why?"

"Because the Master of Flowing Numbers, Lawson has been canonized as a baron by the Master of Sophia in the North, and Crescent Town is his fief."

"And he didn't just make microscopes, but he also made other good things, all of which were very good, very peculiar and very useful."

"There have never been so many good things in the imperial capital, and everyone is about to go crazy."

"Oh~~~ Master Rosen, this young man has become a baron. Tsk~ I thought he was a genius scholar, but now that I look at it, he's also very good at drilling. ”

The average genius scholar will be completely immersed in his field of study and ignore the world, and this kind of scholar will not go long, and will soon be stumbling over the hardships of the world.

But if a genius scholar can also take care of the interests of earthly reality when he focuses on research, then it will be interesting.

This kind of person's future achievements will not be too low.

Dalyan shrugged his shoulders at his mentor's evaluation: "If he doesn't become a baron, I'm afraid he won't have the money to study this microscopic mirror." ”

Bren nodded in agreement: "You're right. Not to mention the rest, it would take a huge amount of money to research out the glass used in this lens. ”

Dalyan said another piece of news: "But even so, it still provokes the greedy."

Bren was stunned: "What's going on?"

"The Marquis of Shattered Leaf City is pulling relations all over the world and wants to block the trade routes of Crescent Town. If I'm not mistaken, the Marquis's Emissary must have arrived in your Ruby City as well. ”

Upon hearing this, Bren sneered coldly.

"I don't have to guess what Seraf is thinking, I don't bother to pay attention to him."

After speaking, his mind returned to the microscope, and he was amazed.

"Hmm~ This shot is really beautiful, it's just like a work of art, tsk~~~"

He quickly switched to the highest magnification lens, continued to observe the leaves, and then made a new discovery.

"Huh~ I can vaguely see some strange little things in the leaf cells, as if they can respond to my mana."

"The same mage Vivien, who called it a mana bubble and proposed the theory of mana bubble. And this theory points out the right way forward for breaking through the high-level obstacles and master cliffs. ”

Bren had already heard the name 'Vivien' for the second time, and was very curious about her mana bubble theory, so he said, "Tell me about this mage." ”

Dalyan began to introduce the mage to his mentor in detail.

At the end, he shrugged his shoulders: "It is said that she is the lover of Master Lawson, so she got the world's first microscope." ”

"Oh~ what a lucky girl."

"But she can't see the whole world alone. There were always corners she hadn't noticed. ”

He's going to take a good look at it, and maybe he'll find something new that will make him famous in history.

"Mentor, I think there's one more thing you've forgotten."

"What?"

"You forgot to reimburse me for my purchase."

"And if you don't reimburse me, I'll have to drink cold water next month to get by, because in order to buy it, I also urgently borrowed three kilograms from a friend."

"Then, at the Golden Lake University meeting next month, I will only be able to wear last year's old clothes."

Brun laughed and shouted loudly to the housekeeper: "Ah Fu ~ Ah Fu ~"

The butler quickly said, "What does the master command?" ”

"Go and fetch 20,000 kroner for my miserly apprentice, and tell him to get out of here."

"Thank you, mentor."

Dalyan departed with great joy, and when he got to the door, he smiled again.

The mentor gave 20,000 and earned 4,000.

The merchant gave himself another two thousand benefits.

came and went to make a net profit of 6,000, and he was the income of being a magic professor for three years.

On the other hand, Bren's mind was completely preoccupied with the powerful microscope, and he began to constantly observe the various plants he had collected.

Looking at it, he found a deficiency in this microscope, or more accurately, a personalization problem he encountered.

"Although the observer interference is minimized, the cells are too fragile."

As soon as he looked at it, the cells would deform and even rupture, and the action of concentrating was natural and difficult to control.

"The anti-jamming array is no problem, but the law-breaking materials used are too poor, fortunately, the lens can be used, so it's better for me to find someone to order a new frame."

The idea was quickly dispelled.

"This thing is a full set, and it's so precise, I'm afraid I can't see it accurately when I move the frame."

"It seems that someone has to be sent to the crescent moon to calm down and make a stronger microscope."

For him, the spare money of more than ten or two hundred thousand can still be easily taken out, and he can also directly provide a lot of cherished spell materials.

So, he shouted: "Ah Fu ~ Ah Fu, write a letter for me." I read, you write. ”

Ah Fu appeared behind him like the wind: "Yes, master. ”

After Ah Fu wrote a few sentences, Buren changed his mind again: "Forget it, I'll go directly to the new moon to get it." ”

His requirements are too complicated, and only by communicating face-to-face and revising in real time can he get what he really wants.
