19. Buddies (2)
Li Lin raised his right hand to indicate that the language of the elves was not suitable for the place he was in now, and the pretenders who understood it continued to talk in human language again.
"Still, I'm curious about that magic. Whatever happens now, a thousand years ago...... Well...... Or the best magician. What do you say about your unheard-of mana β yes, interesting. β
There was a hint of shyness in Brunhill's question, but it did not prevent her from expressing excitement and excitement in her voice, and her high academic spirit was almost transformed into a visible aura, radiating heat and light to the surroundings.
Another subtle misalignment of positions.
A thousand years ago, when the Kingdom of Gilmania was not a legend, the best magicians were indeed elves, and the best magicians and priests of humans and orcs could not even squeeze in [one]. But now elves and magic are completely insulated, and they can neither be learned nor used. An unruly [Enhancement System] mage, in fact, may be a halfway out bastard who has never even obtained a certification qualification, but has the ability to inflict heavy losses on a group of young elves. The glory of their ancestors not only lost to them, but even became a major factor that threatened their survival.
Under this premise, it is somewhat unimaginable and illogical that the elves' admiration and nostalgia for magic are still so deep.
Even if the wonderful vision of magic can be explained by spiritual needs such as "chasing the glory of the ancestors", "being extra eager for what you don't have", and "being curious about the unknown", Brunhill thinks that Li Lin's "magic with 100% independent intellectual property rights and ISO9000 certification" - is very attractive is really a bit unreasonable.
No matter how open the elves are, a young girl who thinks that the magic that makes a living person pop like a balloon filled with too much gas - [very interesting] must be controversial in terms of ethics and morality, and is very likely to be blamed. To use an inappropriate example from the earth side, a well-groomed, gentle, and considerate lady runs into a concentration camp, watches through thick glass the last moment of the prisoner's throat tearing and spasms in the gas chamber, and then smiles and asks the guard wearing the skull twin lightning emblems next to her: "Hey, man, that's funny, how did you do it?"
This metaphor may be a little over-the-top. The scum who skinned children and made clothes did not have the problem of innocence or inhumanity in the final disposition, regardless of whether they were burned at the stake or in the gas chambers. Compared with the concentration camp guards, Li Lin's fair methods are even more unattainable. It's just Brunhill β
Although not as perverted as some women, her preferences and interests must be a little strange.
How could a girl, who is still recognized as a warrior lady, like that kind of magic? How can she think that it is [very interesting]?
"How the hell did you do that?"
Urging again, the other elves also came with subtle curiosity, the thirst for knowledge, and the good thing mentality of wanting to see what kind of expression Li Lin would have when he encountered embarrassment, which had always shown his calm face, seemed to overwhelm the small unhappiness and uneasiness on both the gastrointestinal and spiritual levels.
"I'll only say the understandable part. β
Adjusting the elves' comprehension estimation to a lower value, Li Lin began to collect and organize as easy to understand language as possible to solve the entanglement caused by studiousness.
"A significant part of our body is made up of water, which is about 70 percent. β
The elves who listened attentively to the explanation carefully recorded every word, and although there were doubts, everyone still did not interject to question the number jΓΉ and theory that Li Lin said. ...,
Very good learning spirit. The speaker who didn't have to play the role of [Xueba] secretly affirmed the elf's learning element, and changed the tone of rhetorical questioning.
"What happens if all the water in your body boils instantly?"
The elves, who had not been exposed to physics, chemistry and other natural sciences, of course, did not know the answer and put on a wry smile. Li Lin took out a wooden teacup, poured a little water from the leather bag and poured it into the cup. The mouth of the cup is covered with a piece of sheepskin, and the outer wall is tightly tied with string to hold the skin, and the cup becomes completely sealed.
"Be careful. β
The bottom of the cup was held in the palm of his hand, and the elf looked at the cup intently with the words, waiting for the moment when the mystery was revealed.
The blue-white coronal flash flashed again, and the sheepskin that covered the rim of the cup began to tremble, and the dull boiling sound of liquid shook the air through the leather, and after a few moments, the upper half of the sheepskin swelled in a hemispherical shape as the boundary.
"The water in the cup is now boiling and has been converted into steam. A closed cup cannot hold the volumetrically expanding water vapor. The gas expands and wants to go outside, accumulating into pressure from the inside out, and because the four walls of the cup are relatively strong, the softer sheepskin becomes the breakthrough, and the sheepskin is squeezed outward by this force, and finally ......"
The flash faded as the lecture paused, and the sheepskin began to slowly return to its original shape. Li Lin didn't finish his words, nor did he demonstrate what would happen in the end. The elves had already seen an instance, and none of them wanted to waste a sheepskin to remind everyone of an unpleasant picture.
"So...... That bald man just exploded like that?"
Freya was the first to ask a question after the end of the practice, and her tone was as confused as the eyes of the elves around her. The audience, including her, apparently failed to understand the explanation.
Cultural differences.
Even with the use of on-site operations and the simplified version of the instructions, the huge gap between the different cultures of the two worlds is still difficult to bridge in a short period of time.
Li Lin shook his head secretly, and nodded at Freya with a serious face. A more simplified and easy-to-understand version is here:
"The water in the muscles, bones, and internal organs boils and turns into an expanding gas, which is constantly squeezed outward. In the end, the bald man was squeezed by the gas that he could not expel from his body. β
Oh β
All the elves let out a sudden sigh of realization, and then more questions followed.
[What's going on with the blue-white crown of light], [Why does the water boil when there is no fire], [How to condense mana]......
"I will explain the principle and mechanism in further detail, and I will explain it slowly after I go back. β
A simple predetermined arrangement will block all the problems that have not been able to be exported, and Li Lin has been arranged to become a mentor for instilling knowledge and ideology, but it is not suitable to play the role of an encyclopedia or a search engine now.
At the wrong time, in the wrong place, the output of knowledge that the other party cannot understand at all? God is pitiful, and the time spent just explaining [electromagnetic waves] and [thermal effects] is intolerable.
"Like I said, you have so much to learn. β
Li Lin's tone sounded like emotion, and all the elves could foresee from it was that they were about to start a full life of pain and happiness. The combination of rich imagination and uneasiness creates all sorts of bizarre and even masochistic images, which in turn scare themselves into bitterness.
The elves understood that the love written on their faces could not escape Li Lin's prediction and grasp, but he did not intend to comfort the long-eared boys.
Freedom is not without a price, and the establishment of a nation and the revitalization of a nation are not a romantic and easy task. Bloodshed, sacrifice, dedication, hardship, pain β these elements are never lacking in the process, and the elven boys should keep this in mind and adjust their mindset as soon as possible. ...,
The work of inducing ideological adjustment needs to be accelerated.
With a work schedule set, the nanny's daddy-like warmth fades from her pupils and is replaced by a shrewd, sharp, but not snarky color - the eyes of a shrewd businessman. Among the amber pupils that have been reversed are the men in black, Keeley, and a man with a full beard.
Matters unrelated to business dealings were temporarily put aside from his thoughts, and the impersonal standards of handling things were dressed in a friendly skin, and the young man smiled and slowly greeted the past.
Proximity in silence is not meaningless, and the first transaction, a transaction that violates the law, will be shown by both the buyer and the seller to be cautious. Observe the behavior of the other party, the reaction of the other party's subordinates, whether there are any changes in the surrounding environment, whether their subordinates are well prepared, and in the process of quiet and slow approach, the two parties will not ignore every detail of the scene.
Whoever trades his life is like this, and if he is not prepared to do business with an unfamiliar guy without even the necessary vigilance, he will surely end up in a cold corpse and rot into a pile of bones in the mud.
The bearded man's turquoise eyes, who had seen countless business rivals, were carefully looking at the young man who was dressed like a country child, and the supplier of novelty products introduced by his killer partner, a furry child he had never seen or heard ofβSiegfried Otto Lilin.
The bearded man didn't know this unknown teenager, but he was quite familiar with the killer partner. Wally, who undergoes suspicious modifications to muddy the bloody workplace, is not good at it, and doesn't like boring jokes. [Profitable] is the guiding principle of the actions of this guy who is more like a businessman than a killer. So with the mentality of giving the partner a face and trying by the way, he agreed to come and see the goods, and then decide whether to conclude the deal after inspecting the goods.
Before the transaction officially began, the impression score of Li Lin had been finalized.
Out.
Not humble, not arrogant, not the slightest nervous. He never showed half of his flattery, his body movements and the smile on his face were extremely natural, as calm as a veteran of the shopping mall, and he was almost indistinguishable from the old rivals and old customers who had dealt with him in his memory.
[Interesting guy.] γ
The slightly interested evaluation boy and the good business atmosphere that he has dialysed out of him, and some words with good feelings are formed in the brain marrow.
The boy stretched out his hand first, and the bearded man made the same movement after a slow beat, and the two pairs of hands with a large difference in thickness were clenched together.
The kind smile of the elders, the humble smile of the younger generations - the negotiation under the business model uses smiles to make two profiteers who have never met stand face to face like old friends, and the atmosphere is harmonious and warm. For the first time, both Elf and Bearded Men discovered that the directors of both sides of the negotiation had such a talent for acting.
