Water and Fire Twins Magician
Chapter 16 Thirst for knowledge
For Gandalf, this old fellow who has lived for who knows how many years and who is the leader of a huge mercenary group, he finds Jacques, the funny guy who traveled from another world, fresh and interesting.
"Are you free? Tell me again, what kind of magic is driving that steam engine?"
"It's not magic, it's science." Jacques patiently explained to Gandalf the knowledge of his past life. Many of them were just common sense to him, but Gandalf was fascinated by them.
"Why can the wheels roll on their own after the water element boils?" Gandalf asked, "Is it mental power? Similar to the water column spell?"
"No, it's because the water changes from liquid to gas, and the air pressure in the container increases, forming thrust..."
"Air pressure?"
"The pressure of the air."
"Air? Isn't it water element? How come it became wind element?"
"..."
In Jacques's eyes, Gandalf is like a problem teenager, full of curiosity about the world of Jacques's previous life. On the contrary, Jacques is becoming more and more fascinated by the world of swords and magic that Gandalf talks about. The long history of the Love continent and the heroes who once roamed the continent all make him excited.
"I still don't understand. You said that 20,000 years ago, the universal magic of Love Continent was planned and completed by the great wizard Merlin. Then why did Merlin become the biggest opponent in the magic revolution 3,000 years ago?"
"Isn't it easy to understand that the old and conservative people are against young people and new things?"
"I mean, wasn't Merlin a man who lived 20,000 years ago? What's his relationship with Merlin who lived 3,000 years ago? Is he their ancestor?"
"Of course not an ancestor. Merlin is Merlin, the same person." Gandalf said casually, "Don't you remember? In this world, a person's life span will be extended as the degree of cultivation. For the great wizard Merlin, living for tens of thousands of years is not difficult."
"Wow, if he continues to practice, won't he be able to achieve immortality?" Jacques was very surprised.
"Yes. If people are going to die anyway, then what's the point of practicing? It would be better to just live a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death." Gandalf said.
If everyone is going to die one day, what is the point of working hard?
This question has been lingering in Jacques' mind.
When Jacques and Gandalf were exchanging knowledge about each other's world, they carefully hid in the library of the manor. Usually no one came here, so he was not afraid of being seen talking to himself.
As mentioned earlier, the private teachers that Tutu hired for Jacques had all been surpassed by Jacques with his amazing learning ability, so Tutu no longer forced him and let him learn on his own.
Of course, Jacques' learning ability was definitely not so exaggerated. In many cases, it was Gandalf who helped him cheat. The purpose was naturally to allow Jacques to free up free time to learn from Gandalf.
Seeing that his son also had extraordinary talent in learning, Tutu was of course very pleased. The library was built by his father or grandfather, and he had hardly ever been inside. Occasionally, he would get some books from the temple and let the servants put them in at will.
He himself was also confused. Are the books in this library really enough to surpass those of all the elite scholars in his territory?
However, the facts were in front of him, and Tutu did not think much about it. Since Jacques was suitable for self-study, he was allowed to study on his own. However, he also informed the temple of this situation. So the priests of the temple brought countless precious books to Jacques during the Helen Festival every year.
However, Jacques could only appreciate their kindness, as he did not need to read these books at all, because Gandalf had already read them countless times, and had also integrated the knowledge in the books into actual combat, and then summarized them for Jacques in simple and concise language.
In Jacques's opinion, this was similar to passing time by listening to stories, and he could accept it faster. But in fact, he had already unknowingly imprinted a lot of profound knowledge of the world into his mind.
