After a while, led by the princess's confidant maid, that is, Leliana, Rosen walked towards the guest room where Sir Hamilton lived.

On the way, Leliana whispered, "Master, set up a silent barrier, I have something to say to you." ”

Rosen immediately complied: "The enchantment is done." ”

Leliana slowed down slightly: "It's news about Sir Hamilton." ”

Rosen immediately knew that it must be the princess's instructions, and his heart was moved: "I'm listening." ”

"Sir Hamilton was born in a merchant family, but he is extremely talented in magic, after being promoted to the high rank at the age of twenty-six, he was valued by the duke, and he was devoted to training, and he was promoted to master at the age of thirty-three, and now at the age of forty-four, he is already a peak archmage."

When Rosen heard this, his heart shook slightly, and he felt that there were many magic geniuses in the Golden Land.

Some of them came from humble backgrounds and delayed their growth for a while, but once they entered the good times, they immediately entered the sea like a dragon, and they soared into the sky in an instant.

"Jazz's talent for magic is truly amazing."

Leliana smiled slightly: "The master doesn't have to be humble, no matter how amazing it is, it is not as amazing as you. ”

She continued.

"Perhaps because of his origin, this knight is very stubborn, like a bull charging without knowing how to turn, even if he hits a boulder and his head is bleeding, he will charge forward over and over again."

Because of this character, as a minister of magic, he often talked back to the duke. The Duke admired his magical achievements and pure disposition devoted to his studies, and each time he only smiled bitterly. ”

"But no matter what, this is an extremely difficult person to deal with, and it takes a lot of skill and tenacity to communicate effectively with him."

Rosen understood, and was not surprised at all.

Without this tenacious temperament, I am afraid that I would not be able to rise from the cold.

At the same time, I also think that Duke Storm's personality is okay, although he likes to do big things, but he also respects talents.

Of course, this talent must be 'irreplaceable'.

"So, Hamilton is my chief?"

Because he had just been made Vice-Chancellor by the Duke.

Leliana nodded: "Nominally, but you each do your own thing, and you don't interfere with each other."

Rosen sighed secretly: "How can they serve the same duke without interfering with each other?"

The resources at the duke's disposal are also limited, and if they flow to him, they will flow to others less, and naturally there will be competition.

This kind of competition has nothing to do with personal grudges, it is a battle of paths and ideas that both parties want to pursue higher magical achievements.

If you don't get it right, your opponent will stumble on yourself.

Therefore, we still have to think about getting along with this archmage.

So he asked, "Does he have any preferences?"

"Yes In addition to studying, he likes to play trial chess, and his chess skills are very high. This time, he signed up for the Trials Masters. ”

And then he really likes to bet with people. Because of his outstanding ability, he can win every bet. ”

"Hmm~~ Interesting."

"And what other personality traits does he have?"

"The rest is probably extreme self-confidence."

"It is well known that the Queen's younger brother, Master Nerofa, had an extremely brilliant mind, but Hamilton described him as 'good in mind, but too soft in bones'."

This assessment is really accurate.

And Sir Hamilton, who is a peak archmage and has super high magical achievements, is indeed qualified to evaluate the Nairo method of a level 5 archmage.

"What was Master Narofa's reaction when he heard this?"

It is said that he spread his hands and looked helpless.

"Haha~ Sure enough, a mountain is higher than a mountain."

This kind of crushing of pure intelligence is the most irrefutable.

At this time, the two walked to a magnificent and exquisite white stone longhouse.

At the door of the house stood a tall stone tablet, which read: "Master cliff, the top of the world".

The longhouse is divided into three floors, and the walls and windows can be seen that there are many rooms inside.

In front of the door of the house, there were two sword guards.

Leliana stepped forward and respectfully reported her identity before the guards let her go.

The two entered the longhouse, followed the spacious staircase to the third floor, and then walked down the bright and spacious corridor.

You can see exquisite portraits of people hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and there are biographies of the characters below.

As soon as Rosen looked at it, he found that all the people who could be hung on this wall were all level 9 peak archmages.

I couldn't help but secretly admire: 'It is really the top of the world.' ’

Soon arrived at the door of Archmage Hamilton's room.

Leliana asked the attendant at the door in a low voice, "Is the master free now?" ”

The attendant shook his head and replied softly.

"The master said not to disturb him for the last two hours, he has an important inspiration to practice. And now it's only an hour and a half away. ”

Leliana looked regretful, turned her head and spread her hands to Rosen, and looked apologetic: "Then we can only wait." ”

For a figure that a duke must respect, Leliana, the princess maid, naturally did not dare to disturb.

Lawson said, "Then wait." ”

Anyway, it's only half an hour.

The hallway was bright and spacious, and there were temporary seating, so Lawson walked over to sit and pointed to the chair opposite.

"Ma'am, sit down too."

The royal attendant on the side immediately lightly brought a small snack and fragrant tea, and asked softly: "Two adults, do you still need to provide books for recreation?" ”

Rosen thought for a moment: "Bring me some pen and paper." ”

"Yes."

After the attendant brought the pen and paper, he said apologetically to Lyliana, "Ma'am, I have an idea I want to record that may snub you." ”

Small details greatly enhanced Leliana's perception of Rosen, and she chuckled softly, "Although the master records, don't worry about me." ”

Rosen focused on the two master spells that Dora had given him.

A great tide, a flawless phantom.

These two master spells are the crystallization of the wisdom of Archmage Turan, and each spell contains subtle wisdom, and it is also very complex and cumbersome, much more complex and elaborate than the dragon scale armor provided by Anvinia.

This kind of wisdom cannot be solved by simple supercomputing power, but must be analyzed by Rosen himself little by little

He had studied it for seven or eight days before he could fully study the Great Tide Technique, but the Immaculate Phantom had not yet fully figured it out.

I could clearly feel that his intelligence seemed to be a little insufficient, and it was a little difficult to understand some of the subtle spell structures.

"Sure enough, every peak archmage is a representative of the highest intellectual level of the human race, and his knowledge is self-contained, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to figure it out."

This kind of absolute intellectual insufficiency is not the first time that Rosen has encountered it, and it has occasionally appeared when facing his wife Thrandis.

There are many blows, and Lawson also has a clear understanding of his intelligence, which is much higher than the average person, but compared to the real top genius, there is still a bit of a gap.

To have the current achievements is basically to take advantage of super computing power and earth knowledge.

When concentrating, time flies, half an hour passes in the blink of an eye, and Lawson is distracted, when a slightly familiar male voice suddenly comes from beside him.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, young man."

Rosen was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw that Hamilton was sitting across from him, and Leliana was already standing respectfully beside him.

He hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Salute to the master." ”

Hamilton waved his hand: "I don't like these vain etiquette, let's go, go to my room." ”

After speaking, he said to Leliana: "You must not understand our topic, stay aside and get in the way, go back and report to the princess." ”

Leliana saluted again, "Yes, Master." ”

When she was gone, Rosen followed Hamilton into his room.

The rooms are also extremely spacious, more than 200 square meters, which are flooded with warm sunlight, but not sophisticated.

Or more precisely, it was originally exquisite, but because of Hamilton's large number of personal belongings, the living room was crammed into the appearance of a private workshop.

On the large square table, there was a strange creation about a meter long and wide, the main body was metal, but there was also wood, cotton, and some alchemical creations that could not be named.

It gives people a sense of primitive wildness that you can use what you have.

Hamilton took the initiative to explain: "This is the prototype of the steam magic device, and through the conversion of steam, I can convert mana into the power of movement. ”

"I know that as a great master of gravity, you, will definitely think that my thing is very rough, but I can always improve this thing, and it doesn't require much high spell casting ability."

"You can't use your gravitational spell, at least not now, can you?"

As he said this, Hamilton lowered his posture because he was also shocked by the idea of a gravitational floating star.

Rosen nodded in agreement: "The penetration of the gravitational spell is indeed too strong."

Using physical objects to assist in casting spells can greatly reduce the difficulty of casting spells and greatly increase the efficiency of mana utilization.

Here's an example.

A semi-enclosed iron tube with one end open is used to insert an iron ball slightly smaller than the inner diameter as a firing ammunition.

Then, as long as you imagine an explosive flame in the confined space behind the iron ball, you can launch the iron ball at high speed with a fairly high accuracy, exerting a very good lethality.

The Iron Pipe perfectly compresses and binds the mana flame, and helps with aiming.

As a result, this natural throwing technique was reduced from a 3-star spell to a 1-star spell, and the utilization efficiency of its mana was also increased to almost 100%.

Other spells that were born out of ordinary natural phenomena could easily do similar things.

But gravity spells don't work.

Lawson has yet to find a substance that perfectly binds the gravitational pull of spells.

Even if it is a law-breaking Serkin, the effect is very average.

Therefore, gravity can only be constrained by mana.

In this way, the difficulty of casting spells will naturally be greatly increased, making it difficult to popularize.

Mana efficiency is greatly reduced, resulting in a large amount of mana waste.

"But I can increase the efficiency of mana utilization by increasing the number of cast stars."

Hamilton understood as soon as he heard it.

"You mean the juxtaposition of low-level spells?"

Lawson nodded: "That's right."

A four-star low-level logic gravitational spell has a mana efficiency of up to 90%.

Lawson joins several low-level spells together to gain the same power as high-level spells.

Hamilton laughed, "That's a good idea."

"But you have to connect 10 four-star spells in parallel, and the total power is worth a high-level 14-star spell, but the difficulty of casting the spell is 40 stars."

"No mortal can use a spell of this complexity."

Rosen immediately said: "But you can also use the juxtaposition spell technique to reduce the number of stars, of course, not completely." Achieving the same impetus is always more complex than a single spell. ”

A similar approach was taken on Sky One, but due to the dramatic increase in the number of cast stars, it had to make a compromise, and finally adopted a mix of high-level, medium-level, and low-level schemes to improve efficiency as much as possible.

Hamilton nodded his head.

"What you said is very good, at first glance, it is a mage with full practical experience, much better than those simple imaginary academic mages, no wonder they can achieve such an achievement now."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he patted the steam magic weapon on the table, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"But my steam magic weapon is different, even if it is a spell apprentice, as long as he has enough mana, he can control it perfectly."

Before Lawson had fully understood this steam artifact, he said, "Master, can you give me a detailed introduction to it?" ”

"Naturally."

Hamilton began to introduce his big baby in detail.

Listen to it, Lawson knows that this thing is essentially a hot engine, but because it is assisted by various spells similar to black technology, it greatly increases its starting point height.

For example, the thermal efficiency of the baby in front of him directly reaches 10%, while on the earth, the efficiency of Watt's improved steam engine is less than 5%, and even the later gasoline internal combustion engine is almost between 30 and 45%.

From Rosen's demeanor, Hamilton felt his attention and was very happy.

He continued.

"Another characteristic of my steam magic device is that the larger the scale, the higher the efficiency, and the upper limit of thrust is extremely high."

"If your Endless Mana Core cooperates and creates a giant vapor artifact, it will be a breeze to propel the Lord of the Sea."

Rosen nodded in agreement and gave a final evaluation.

"The master's steam magic weapon, although it will appear clumsy when used for flying, is used to drive a boat, pull a horse-drawn carriage, and even push a waterwheel to pump water, and it is easy to open a mine."

"Therefore, our research has its own use, and there is no question of replacing each other."

At least for a short time.

Hamilton was even happier when he heard this.

To be honest, he was really a little worried, afraid that the steam magic weapon he had spent years of hard work on would be eliminated by the times before it was born.

Then the energy he spent in the past five years would be wasted.

Now that the two sides have discussed it carefully, they feel that the worries are gone, and their impression of Rosen is also very good.

After chatting about spells again, he asked, "Master Lawson, the treatment the Duke has given you should be enough to satisfy you, right?" ”

As a mage in the Eastern Realm, and also the Duke's Minister of Magic, he personally hopes that such a supreme genius as Rosen will settle in the Eastern Realm.

As for the arrogance of the Easterners, it has long been erased by the unattainable wisdom shown by Rosen.

Rosen did not hide it: "The duke has canonized me as a god-given earl, as the lord of the Flying Fish Islands, I think it's good." ”

When Hamilton heard about the Earl of God, he was still a little envious, but as soon as he heard about the Flying Fish Islands, the envy disappeared without a trace.

"Flying Fish Islands? What's so good about that place? Shoveling bird poop? ”

Rosen is too lazy to explain, and it is better if the other party does not understand, so as to save jealousy from envy.

"Master, I have a deep attachment to the land, as long as I am given the land, I will be happy in my heart."

Hamilton didn't understand: "What's so good about the land, if you don't bring it in life or in death, how can you focus on studying spells?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Rosen knew that Hamilton was the kind of person who was a pure scholar, and he was secretly relieved.

This kind of person, as long as he is given enough respect and recognition, can get along very well.

He also likes to get along with this kind of person the most.

In the future, the competition for resources should also be a healthy competition.

So he smiled slightly: "This is my fetish." It's like a master, although he focuses on magic, he also loves trial chess, doesn't he? ”

That's right.

Hamilton nodded in understanding, but then advised: "I'm just playing chess for fun." However, it takes a lot of effort to run a territory, which will greatly delay time and energy. ”

"The Earl must carefully consider the importance of this, but not to become a slave of the land. Delaying his important time for a group of laymen all day long. ”

Rosen could feel that this was the other party's sincere thoughts, so he nodded seriously: "Thank you for your kind words." ”

After a pause, he said his true intentions.

"I'm very interested in the idea of a master's mana container, I wonder if I can exchange this knowledge?"

In fact, with the Divine Iron Core, the demand for the storage vessel is not high, but it must be there as a buffer against the unexpected.

For example, if the core of the Divine Iron suddenly broke, if there was no buffer, the floating city flying in the sky would really have to fall, after all, it would not be able to lift such a heavy thing with manpower.

And with the high-density storage container, you can immediately use the stored large amount of mana to go up, which greatly improves the reliability of the Great Floating City.

But as soon as he heard this, Hamilton showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and coughed slightly.

"Actually, my mana container has just started, and what I said before is just the result of predictions. I don't know if I can get there. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lawson understood, this guy is almost not genuine, purely bragging for attention.

He was a little disappointed and a little unwilling, and asked, "Then there is always some basis for speculation, right?" ”

Hamilton just laughed.

"Yes, yes, but this is the knowledge I am most proud of, and I will not exchange it easily."

The more he said this, the more itchy Rosen became, and said, "Master, let's make a bet?" ”

Hamilton's eyes lit up: "How to bet?" ”

"Judgment chess, a 5-second rapid move. Within 300 hands, I win you, you let me take a look. If I can't win, I'll give you 200 Fersa's Titan Iron? ”

As soon as he heard that there were so many gods and irons, and the gambling contract was so favorable, Hamilton immediately took out the judgment chess.

"Bet!"
