Celestial Mage

Chapter 299 The Key to Open the Door to the New World (23)

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Fort Romer, the capital of gold.

Royal Botanic Society Museum Botanic Gardens.

The name of this place is very grand, but it is actually just a garden of less than 20 rams, and the reason why it can get the prefix of 'Royal' is mainly because there is no competition.

The owner of the School of Botany is Bren Nesser, a level 5 archmage, the lord of the earl, the second prince, and the uncle of the high-level 15-star mage Aurogarde.

Since he is the eldest brother of the prince and studies unpopular knowledge of botany, it is naturally easy for him to give his manor a "royal" prefix after a little digging.

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

'Huchi~~huchi~~huchi~~~'

'Quack ~ Quack ~ Quack~~'

The movement is a bit strange, but if a glassworker comes, it is immediately known that someone is grinding the lens with a pedal rotary grinder.

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

Because the ground lens can be used to explore such a high field as the starry sky.

Of course, as a rare botanical master in the Golden Land, Bren naturally has no great interest in the starry sky.

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

As the feet continue to step on it, the cast iron grinding ball rotates neither fast nor slow, a small water ball floats on the side of the ball, another grinding powder floats on the other side, and keeps falling on the spherical surface, while the lens is covered by a third ball. The mage's hand is in control, pressing firmly on the sphere.

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

Just as he was concentrating, there was a knock on the door of the mirror room, and the housekeeper's weak voice came in.

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

Bren was stunned for a moment, and with a movement of his hand, the lens immediately shook, and an unforgivable flaw appeared.

He was suddenly filled with annoyance: "It's really not the time to come!"

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

Dalyan is his personal apprentice. It took him 20 years to teach him from a child who didn't know anything to a high-level 12-star mage, and he found a decent job at the Royal Academy of Magic. work.

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

So, when he said this, Brun 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 young man's slightly sad voice came from the door.

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

The lens was worn badly, and he didn't bother to continue grinding it. He wiped off some of the paint stained on his hands, and turned to look at the disciple who was smiling shamelessly.

"Tell me, what gift did you bring?"

Standing at the door was a 27-year-old young man with a cute baby face, a little fat body, and looked very happy.

"Teacher, the thing is in your observation room, and I believe that when you truly understand the powerful functions of this thing, you will definitely reward me as an apprentice."

Brun took off his leather bib and handed it to the steward beside him, and said with a smile, "Then I will reward you with ten pointers!"

Dalyan chuckled: "As long as the instructor is happy, twenty lashes will be fine."

While the master and apprentice were talking and laughing, they came to the bright observation room on the stone roof.

The so-called observation room, the full name of the plant growth observation room, is the place where Brun uses to study the law 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 huge solid wood long table, on which there are various small tools and some dried specimens of plant leaves.

In the open space in the middle of the table, there is an exquisite wooden box with an exquisite mithril key on the side of the box.

The sunlight shone on the mithril key, reflecting a bright brilliance, just like the secret key to open the treasure house of knowledge of the gods.

Bren was stunned for a moment: "The workmanship of the shell is good, what is it containing?"

The apprentice no longer concealed it, and said softly: "The microscopic mirror produced in the crescent collar of the Yellow River Highland in the north is made by Master Rosen, the master of flow."

Bren's breathing was slightly stagnant: "Master Helevin said the microscope?"

"That's right, and it is many times more powerful than the microscope predicted by the master. It is 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 in the leaves."

"Such a new gadget is expensive, how much did you pay for it?"

"Sixteen thousand crowns, and there are only ten units in the whole emperor."

"I spent all my savings to get this microscope for my tutor. You have to make it up to me, tutor."

As an archmage and also the lord of Ruby City in the middle region, Brun could certainly take out the money, but he was also a little surprised.

"So expensive?"

"All I can say is that the high price just complements its powerful functions."

"That's right."

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

Immediately, the disciple's voice came from beside him: "Inject mana, teacher."

Brun did as he did, and felt the key vibrate slightly, with a faint tingling sensation, and twisted it again.

With a crisp 'click' sound, the door of the box opened, and inside was a device that had never been seen before, but was very exquisite in workmanship and made of very strange materials.

Brun carefully took out the expensive equipment worth [-] crowns, observed it carefully, and gave an evaluation.

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

Dalyan smiled slightly, and took out the mirror case from the side: "Mentor, that's just the frame, the real value is here."

He gently opened the cover, and saw 8 exquisite lenses inside.

Bren looked at the lens, and his mind was shaken violently.

"Good glass ~ good lens!"

He picked up an eyepiece and looked carefully, and found that the glass inlaid in this thing was really good, pure and white, like diamonds, and when he looked more carefully, he found that there was a number marked under the lens.

Looking at other shots, I found that each shot is marked with a number.

Dalyan knew what the mentor was thinking as soon as he saw his eyes, and immediately explained.

"There are two kinds of mirrors. An eyepiece and an objective lens. The product of the two numbers is the specific magnification."

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

"That's it. It's called an oil mirror. It has the largest magnification. When using it, it needs to be used with this special transparent oil."

As he spoke, he demonstrated to his instructor.

"Look, the eyepiece is installed here, the objective lens is installed like this, and the one below is a constant light circle, which is used to supplement the light."

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

"Yes."

Bren felt his heart beating faster, and he leaned over the camera to observe, but he couldn't see anything.

"Nothing."

"Teacher, don't worry. Let me show you how to use it."

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

After learning, I feel a 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, then took a small piece of fresh leaves and put them on the observation table, and carefully adjusted the focus.

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

Bren leaned forward to look at it, and after a glance, he felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain, and his mind was slightly dizzy. He closed his eyes hurriedly, calmed down for a while, and then leaned forward to look again.

Looking at it, the mind is completely intoxicated.

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

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

"She discovered that as long as it is life, it is formed by the accumulation of small particles called 'cells'."

"At the same time, the cells of wild animals are very different from the cells of grass and trees."

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

"Um~~ Am I late?"

Dalyan could fully understand the mentor's thoughts and immediately comforted him.

"Mentor, although you are a step late, you are also the first group of guests to see the new world. After all, there are only ten microscopes 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 in the imperial capital, the rest are in Crescent Town."

"Master Liushu, I've heard of it, but Crescent Town... the name is a little strange."

"It will be known soon, Master."

"why?"

"Because Flow Master Rosen has been canonized as a baron by Master Sophia of the North, and Crescent Town is his fiefdom."

"And he made not only the microscope, but other good things, all of them very good, very strange and very useful."

"There have never been so many good things in the capital at once. Everyone is going crazy."

"Oh~~~ Master of Numbers, Lawson, this young man has become a baron. Tsk tsk~ I thought he was a genius scholar, but looking at it now, he is also very good at making money."

Ordinary gifted scholars will completely immerse themselves in their own research fields and ignore the world. This kind of scholar will not have a long way to go, and will soon be stumbled by the hardships of the world.

But if a talented scholar can manage the interests of the worldly reality while focusing on research, it will be interesting.

This kind of person, the future achievements will not be too low.

Dalyan shrugged his mentor's evaluation: "If he doesn't become a baron, he probably won't have the money to study this microscope."

Bren nodded in approval: "You're right. Apart from other things, just to research the glass used in this lens, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

Dalyan said another message: "But even so, it still provoked the greedy ones."

Brun was taken aback: "What's going on?"

"The Marquis of Broken Leaf City is seeking connections all over the world, trying to block the trade routes of Crescent Town. If I'm not mistaken, the Marquis envoy must have also arrived in your Ruby City."

Upon hearing this, Brun sneered coldly.

"I don't need to guess what Seraph is thinking. I don't bother to talk to him."

After finishing speaking, his mind returned to the microscope, tsk tsk in amazement.

"Wow~ This lens is really beautiful, it's like a work of art, tsk tsk tsk~~~"

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

"Hey~ Some strange little things can be vaguely seen in the leaf cells, as if they can respond to my mana."

"It's also Mage Vivienne, who called it the Mana Bubble, and put forward the theory of the Mana Bubble. This theory points out the correct direction for breaking through high-level mazes and master cliffs."

Bren had heard the name 'Vivian' for the second time, and was also very curious about her mana bubble theory, so he said, "Let me introduce this mage."

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

In the end, he shrugged: "It is said that she is the lover of Master Rosen, so she got the world's first microscope."

"Oh~ what a lucky girl."

"However, she can't see the whole new world alone. There are always corners she hasn't discovered."

He also wants to take a good look at this artifact, maybe he can find a new gadget that will make his name go down in history.

"Teacher, I think you have forgotten one thing."

"what?"

"You forgot to reimburse me for the purchase."

"And if you don't reimburse me, I will have to drink cold water to live next month, because in order to buy it, I urgently borrowed three thousand crowns from my friend."

"Then, at the next month's Golden Lake University meeting, you can only wear last year's old clothes to attend the meeting."

Bren laughed and called out to the housekeeper, "Ah Fu~Ah Fu~"

The butler quickly asked, "What is the master's order?"

"Go and get twenty thousand crowns for my stingy apprentice, and tell him to go away."

"Thank you teacher."

Dalyan left overjoyed, and smiled again when he got outside the door.

The tutor gave [-] and earned [-].

The businessman gave himself another two thousand favors.

I made a net profit of [-], which was more than my three-year salary as a spell professor.

On the other hand, Bren's mind was completely hung on this powerful microscope, and he began to observe the various plants he collected.

After looking at it, he discovered a shortcoming of this microscope, or more precisely, it was his personalization problem.

"Although the interference of observers has been weakened as much as possible, the cells are too fragile."

When he stared intently for a while, the cells would deform or even rupture, and the movement of concentrating was natural and difficult to control.

"The anti-jamming magic circle is fine, but the magic-breaking material used is too bad. Fortunately, the lens can be used. Why don't I find someone to order a new frame."

The idea was quickly dismissed.

"This thing is a complete set, and it's so precise, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it if you remove the frame."

"It seems that we have to send someone to Crescent Town to make a stronger microscope."

For him, the spare money of more than 20 to [-] yuan can still be easily taken out, and it can also directly provide a lot of precious 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 words, Bren changed his mind: "Forget it, I'll go directly to Xinyue to get it."

His request is too complicated, and only by face-to-face communication and real-time modification can he get what he really wants.
