Celestial Mage

Chapter 262 Start with the lowest cost (24)

The next morning.

The hall on the first floor of the lord's castle.

In front of the princess and O'Brien, Rosen calmly stated the decision that had already been discussed.

After finishing speaking, Master O'Brien frowned slightly, feeling that this method deviated from the tradition, and when he was about to refuse, the voice of Princess Haili Zoya came from beside him.

"Mayor Rosen, your suggestion is good, so let's do what you said first."

O'Brien was startled, and glanced at Haili Suoya, only to see that the other side's face was calm and unwavering, and he couldn't see what was going on in her heart at all, so he was shocked.

After thinking about it carefully, he guessed a possibility, and swallowed back the words that rushed to his lips.

"Since His Highness agrees, I have no objection."

They are all big shots, and they have a lot of business to deal with in Winter City, so naturally they can't stay in a remote place like Crescent Town for too long.

After breakfast, after a short rest, he used a flying spell, rushed into the sky, and rushed all the way back to Winter City.

After leaving Crescent Town far behind, O'Brien finally couldn't help the confusion in his heart.

"Your Highness, with all due respect, the Duke may not agree with your actions."

As long as they are nobles living in Winter City, everyone must master a skill, which is to carefully understand the Duke's temper, so as not to violate his taboos and lead to a rough fate.

As a master craftsman, O'Brien can even become the vice president of La Farea College. This skill has naturally been perfected.

So I felt that Princess Haley Suoya's decision was inappropriate.

Haili Suoya glanced at the master craftsman lightly: "I know it's wrong, but my father has no time to care about such trivial matters."

"As long as you don't talk too much, my father won't know about it, or is it that Master is going to expose me to my father?"

Speaking of which, Haley Sawyer narrowed her eyes and stared at O'Brien.

O'Brien's heart tightened, and he immediately shook his head: "No, Your Highness, you are the person in charge of the academy, and your will is the final decision of the academy."

"Ah."

Haley's expression eased, and she explained softly.

"I know that this is somewhat against the tradition and my father's dignity. But there will be a war, and my three older brothers are all great warriors with superb martial arts skills."

"Once a war breaks out, they will definitely be reused and have a lot of opportunities to build up their military exploits. As for me, as a high-level peak mage, if I don't want to lose my chance, I have to find another chance to rise up."

"Master, please remember that this is not only my opportunity, but also the academy's opportunity, and it is also an opportunity for the mages of the North."

"If I can inherit the great position, the benefits will be greatly tilted towards the mage world, and the status of mages will be greatly improved, instead of being ordered by those rude and barbaric warriors like now."

Highland mages have a high status because the high lords are archmages.The sorcerer of Winter City is not so carefree.

Not only is he not happy, but even a little aggrieved.

O'Brien was shocked again, and nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, I fully understand your intentions. Don't worry, Laiya and I will keep it a secret."

As a mage, he naturally supports Princess Haili Suoya's ascension. In fact, the entire La Farea Academy supports it.

It's a pity that the academy's energy is limited.

After flying for a while, Princess Haley said, "Let me ask you, after getting Rosen's spell lock, can you break his spell, especially this petrification spell?"

Although Rosen is very promising, any high-ranking person will not bet on one person.

Otherwise, the superior is not the superior, but a puppet manipulated by his subordinates.

Therefore, it is necessary to spread the bets and let the subordinates check and balance each other.

But unexpectedly, when she asked, O'Brien frowned.

Haley Soya was very sharp: "What? He gave you fake things?"

O'Brien shook his head: "It's true, but the principle is weird."

"Even if I know, I can't crack his existing spell lock. I can only use this spell lock to encrypt my own spells."

Seeing that the princess was puzzled, he explained: "This magic lock is like an irreversible knot. Once you kill it, you can't untie it."

"In fact, if I use this spell lock to encrypt my spells, Rosen will most likely not be able to unlock them."

Haili Suoya frowned slightly: "Then let's go back now and ask Rosen for the principle of petrification."

O'Brien shook his head: "Your Highness, don't bother. Although you don't know the principle, you can still imitate it directly. It just takes some thought."

"If His Highness needs it, my refining workshop will work at full capacity, and I can produce 5000 petrified staffs in a day."

This answer satisfies Hayley Sawyer.

She asked again: "Then do you think it is possible to develop high-level or even master-level petrochemical construction techniques based on the current petrochemical technique?"

The currently public building petrification technique is an intermediate version, which is good for ordinary buildings, but it is not strong enough for real military fortresses.

For military fortresses, the stronger the better.

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on O'Brien's face. Although he didn't want to admit it, he finally shook his head.

"Your Highness, Mage Rosen is probably one of the strongest logic mages in the northern region. In terms of refining weapons, I think I am at the top of the northern region, but you have to look at him to create new spells."

Haili Suoya felt strange: "Can't the master improve on this basis?"

"Yes, I can, but I'm old, and I haven't fully learned the flow. It's really difficult to study brand-new spells based on the advanced flow."

Haili Suoya understood, and said: "Then you don't want to grab Lawson's petrochemical construction business, let him make money."

O'Brien himself didn't want to grab the menial work of construction.

What he set his eyes on was the magic lock itself, because he was also deeply troubled by the plagiarism of his peers, so he smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Your Highness, to be honest, it is difficult for me to grab it."

"I'm afraid that in the near future, Mage Rosen will launch a more difficult spell lock, as well as a more advanced and powerful petrification spell."

"He is a talented mage, young and strong, full of energy, and my old man can't race against him."

Hailey Suoya just laughed: "Yeah, he is indeed very young and very... strong."

But thinking of what happened last night, there was a slight numbness in the left chest.

She thought to herself: "Wait for more than ten years, and I think she can really become my good helper. If she is really loyal, then she can really fulfill the reward promised last night." "

Not mentioning the three people who left, they returned to Crescent Town.

Rosen and Gendeloni are busy in the alchemy laboratory.

Although Sir Mason has an arrogant attitude, the equipment produced by Precision Balance is indeed much easier to use than the equipment in the North, and it is completely a product of two eras.

At this time, Rosen was slowly picking up a sticky, pure and transparent liquid that exuded a faint red light from the temperature-controlled furnace.

This is molten glass.

Gendroni stood aside and observed carefully, then shook her head.

"No, there are still tiny bubbles in it, and the color is not pure, but it still has some green flavor."

Rosen saw it too, and put the molten glass back into the furnace.

"Both issues must be fully addressed."

Gendroni thought about it carefully, and asked strangely: "Why do you need glass? The top-quality cornerstone for refining can meet your requirements."

Rosen thought for himself: "There are two reasons."

"First, glass is hard enough to resist wear and tear much better than foundation stone."

"Second, glass is cheap, the material is everywhere, and its cost is less than one percent of the cornerstone of the best."

"Even ultra-high-purity, colorless glass with uniform material costs less than one-tenth of the pure cornerstone. And if we can obtain such glass and use it to build optical devices, then we have a huge cost advantage."

Optical instruments are a new field that Rosen intends to enter.

The initial stage of this field is not difficult, the cost is low, but the effect is huge.

With this, it is equivalent to opening a pair of deep insight eyes to explore the deep mysteries of the world, which can greatly speed up the pace of progress.

Gendeloni understood: "Then keep trying."

The two continued to work.

To be honest, Rosen actually knows a lot of earth methods for making high-purity glass, because of the memories of his previous life.

But knowing is knowing, and practice is the first time, and the nature of alien glass is also slightly different from that of the earth.

So, you have to explore over and over again.

For the next few days, Rosen and Gendeloni spent almost all their free time poring over glasswork issues.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The problem has finally been completely resolved.

When a piece of pure, colorless, crystal-like flawless glass appeared in the alchemy laboratory, Gendeloni couldn't help but stare at it closely, a faint color flashed in her big eyes.

She sighed sincerely: "It's so beautiful~ prettier than flawless crystal!"

She looked at Luo Sen with admiration: "Rosen, I have to say that you also have outstanding talent in refining weapons, and you have an incredible sense of insight in grasping the characteristics of materials."

There are so many exquisite and original craftsmanship that she couldn't think of, and they came out in a few days, just like the creator.

She felt that she was beginning to admire Rosen.

After finally calming down, she couldn't help but ask, "Rosen, what then?"

The glass in front of her eyes was square, and she couldn't think of its specific function other than being beautiful.

Rosen smiled slightly, and was using the gravitational disintegration technique to create mirror powders of various finenesses. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "Then grind them into reading glasses."

Glass has long existed in this world, and monoculars have been around for more than 30 years. Reading glasses are even more popular, and the process of grinding lenses is quite mature.

Of course, whether it is polished well or not is a test of skill.

Gendeloni understood: "Oh~~ I understand, are you going to take a high-performance telescope?"

Unexpectedly, Rosen shook his head: "It's a kind of observation mirror, yes, but it's not a telescope."

"Huh? Then where to see what?"

She hesitated for a moment, then thought of a possibility.

"You don't intend to make the microscope conjectured by the mirror grinder Helevin, do you?"

He Liewen is the mirror master in the east, the founder of the "Yuanwang" workshop, and the inventor of the monocular telescope.

While building more telescopes with excellent performance, he gave a prophecy.

He said that glass is a master of manipulating light. Since it can bring distant objects to the front, it can make nearby objects larger, so that the fine structure of matter can be shown.

Subsequently, the mirror master began to study the microscope.

But God did not wish.

About ten years ago, that is, the third year that the master started to study the microscope, at the age of 78, he was summoned by God to the Kingdom of God, so the matter of the microscope was temporarily put on hold.

Rosen naturally knew this allusion.

He smiled and nodded: "You guessed it."

"Then have you thought of how to do it?"

"I thought of it. Come and help me build these metal parts. Don't ask for speed, just for precision, preferably within a hair."

Gendeloni took a look at the blueprint that Rosen handed over, and nodded confidently: "Leave it to me."

After possessing pure magic power, her control power has greatly increased. Others dare not say that precision is absolutely guaranteed.

While building the frames, Rosen started grinding the mirrors.

Gendroni looked at it by chance, and suddenly thought of a question: "Rosen, can we directly make the glass into the expected shape?"

In this way, there is no need to grind.

Rosen naturally thought about it, and he shook his head: "It will definitely be possible in the future, but I don't have a complete understanding of the properties of glass now, and I can't control the complicated and precise shapes."

During the high-temperature cooling process, if the control is not good, the glass will be distorted unevenly, and then the mirror will be useless.

Gendeloni understood: "Well, let's take it step by step."

The two continued to work.

Because it is the first time to do it, the progress is very slow, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to complete.

When the two were busy until dusk, when they returned to the hall for dinner, they found a familiar figure in the hall.

It was Xia Bolai, the acting lord of Crescent Town.

He was flushed and full of ambition, and he laughed when he saw Rosen.

"Lawson, accompany me to Moonwatching Garden tomorrow. I'm going to ask my aunt to marry me."

Rosen thought for a moment: "Since it's a marriage proposal, then you have to make good preparations."

Proposal to Baron Dumont's daughter, once the matter is made public, is the moment when he wants to see each other, and Fubos must go crazy.

Of course, as long as the earl is around, Fubosi will not be able to stir up big waves.

Personally, Rosen felt that he only needed to be prepared to prevent assassination.
