Master Tongtian

Chapter 262 Start with the lowest cost (24)

Early next morning.

The lobby on the first floor of the Lord's Castle.

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

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

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

O'Brien was startled and glanced at Hailey Sonja. He was shocked when he saw that the other party's expression was calm and he could not tell what she was thinking at all.

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 have a lot of matters to deal with in Winter City. Naturally, they cannot stay in a remote place like Crescent Town for too long.

After breakfast, I rested for a while, then used a flying technique to soar into the sky and rush back to Winter City.

After leaving Crescent Town far behind, O'Brien finally couldn't help but feel confused.

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

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, which will lead to a bumpy fate.

As a master of weapon refining, O'Brien can even become the vice-president of La Farea College, so he has naturally mastered this skill.

So I felt that Princess Haley Sonja’s decision was inappropriate.

Hailey Sonja glanced at the weapon refining master lightly: "I know it's wrong, but my father has no time to care about such trivial matters."

"As long as you don't say anything, my father won't know about this, or is the master planning to expose me to my father?"

Speaking of this, Hayley Sonja 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 college, and your will is the final decision of the college."

"Um."

Hailey Sonja's expression softened and she explained softly.

"I know this is against tradition and offends my father's dignity. But the war is about to begin, and my three brothers are all great warriors with superb martial arts skills."

"Once the war breaks out, they will definitely be reused and have a lot of opportunities to establish their military exploits. As a high-level peak mage, I must find another opportunity to rise if I don't want to lose the opportunity."

"Master, please remember that this is not only an opportunity for me, but also an opportunity for the academy, and even more for the Northern Mage."

"If I can inherit the throne, my interests will be greatly tilted towards the mage world, and the status of the mage will be greatly improved, instead of being ordered around by those rude and barbaric warriors like it is now."

The highland mage has a distinguished status because the high lord is an archmage. The mage from Winter City is not so carefree.

Not only was he not at ease, he was even a little aggrieved.

O'Brien was shocked again and nodded slightly.

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

As a mage, he naturally supports Princess Hayley Sonja's ascent to the throne. In fact, the entire La Farea Academy supports her.

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

After flying for a while, Princess Hailisoya 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, no one in the top position will bet on one person.

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

Therefore, you must spread your bets and let your subordinates check and balance each other.

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

Hailey Sonja was very perceptive: "What? He gave you fake things?"

O'Brien shook his head: "The thing is real, but the principle is weird."

"Even if I know it, I can't break 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 it is tied, it cannot be untied."

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

Hailey Sonja frowned slightly: "Then let's go back now and ask Rosen for the principles of petrification."

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

"If His Highness needs it, my weapon refining workshop will be fully operational and can produce 5,000 petrified staffs in one day."

This answer satisfied Hayley Sonja.

She asked again: "Then do you think it is possible to develop on the current petrification technique and develop a high-level or even master-level petrification architecture technique?"

The currently disclosed building petrification technique is a mid-level version. It is naturally good for ordinary buildings, but it is not strong enough for real military fortresses.

As for a military fortress, the stronger it is, 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, Master Rosen is probably one of the strongest logic mages in the North. In terms of weapon refining, I consider myself to be at the top of the North, but when it comes to creating new spells, you have to look to him."

Hailey Sonja felt strange: "Master, can't you improve on this basis?"

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

Hailey Sonja understood and said, "Then don't steal Rosen's petrochemical construction business, let him make money."

O'Brien himself didn't want to grab menial jobs like construction.

What he was interested in was the magic lock itself, because he was also deeply troubled by plagiarism from his peers. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, to be honest, it's hard for me to snatch it."

"I'm afraid that soon, Master Rosen will launch a more difficult-to-break spell lock, as well as a more advanced and powerful petrification technique."

"He is a talented mage, young, strong, and full of energy. I, an old man, can't compete with him."

Hailey Sonja smiled: "Yes, he is indeed very young and very strong."

But thinking about what happened last night, there was a slight numbness on the left side of my chest.

She thought to herself: 'If you wait for more than ten years, you will probably be able to truly become my good helper. If you are truly loyal, you can really fulfill the reward promised last night. "

Not mentioning the three people who left, their eyes 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 better than the equipment in the North. It is completely a product of two eras.

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

This is molten glass.

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

"No, there are still tiny bubbles inside, and the color is not pure. It still has some greenery."

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

“Both issues must be fully addressed.”

Gendeloni thought about it carefully and asked strangely: "Why does it have to be glass? The best cornerstone for refining can meet your requirements."

Rosen had his own considerations: "Two reasons."

"First, the glass is hard enough and its wear resistance is much stronger than the base stone."

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

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

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

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

Having this is equivalent to opening a pair of profound insightful 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 be busy.

To be honest, Rosen actually knew many earthly methods of making high-purity glass because he had them in his past life memories.

But knowing is knowing, but this is the first time to practice, and the properties of glass in other worlds are also slightly different from those on earth.

So, you have to explore it again and again.

For the next few days, Rosen and Gendeloni spent almost all their free time studying glass craftsmanship issues.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The problem was finally completely resolved.

When a piece of pure, colorless glass that was as flawless as crystal appeared in the alchemy laboratory, Gendeloni couldn't help but stare at it closely, a blur of color flashing in her big eyes.

She sincerely exclaimed: "It's so beautiful~ Even more beautiful than flawless crystal!"

She looked at Rosen with admiration: "Rosen, I have to say that you are also extremely talented in weapon refining. You have an incredible sense of insight into the properties of matter."

There were so many exquisite and original crafts that she had never thought of, and she was able to create them in just a few days, just like the creator.

She felt like she was starting to admire Rosen.

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

The glass in front of her was square, and apart from its beauty, she couldn't think of its specific function.

Rosen smiled slightly and was using the gravitational disintegration technique to create lens grinding powders of various degrees of fineness. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then grind them into reading glasses."

Glass has long existed in this world, monocular telescopes have been around for more than 30 years, reading glasses are even more popular, and the technology of grinding lenses is also quite mature.

Of course, whether it is sharpened well or not is a test of technique.

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

Without thinking, Rosen shook his head: "It's a kind of observation glass, yes, but it's not a telescope."

"Huh? Then what are you looking for?"

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

"You're not planning to make the microscope that the mirror grinder Helevin guessed, are you?"

Helevan is the master of mirrors 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 prediction.

He said that glass is a master of manipulating light. Since it can bring distant objects into view, it can make nearby objects larger and reveal the subtle structure of matter.

Subsequently, the mirror master began to study microscopes.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes.

About ten years ago, the third year after the master began to study microscopes, at the age of 78, he was summoned by God to go to the Kingdom of God, so the matter of microscopes was temporarily put on hold.

Rosen naturally knew this allusion.

He smiled and nodded: "You guessed it right."

"Then what did you think of doing it?"

"I thought of it. Come and help me build these metal parts. I don't ask for speed, but for precision. It is best to have precision within a hair."

Gendeloni took a look at the drawing handed over by Rosen and nodded confidently: "Leave it to me."

After possessing pure mana, her control has greatly increased. I dare not say anything else, but precision is absolutely guaranteed.

While the frames were being built, Rosen began polishing the mirrors.

Gendeloni looked at it accidentally and suddenly thought of a question: "Rosen, can we directly make the glass into the desired shape?"

This way, there is no need to grind.

Rosen naturally thought about it and shook his head: "It will definitely be possible in the future, but now I don't fully understand the properties of glass, and I can't control complex and precise shapes."

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

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

The two continued to be busy.

Because this is the first time I have done it, the progress is very slow. It is estimated that it will take two or three days to complete.

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

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

His face was glowing with pride, and when he saw Rosen, he burst into laughter.

"Rosen, come with me to Moon Moon Garden tomorrow. I want to go to my aunt to propose marriage."

Rosen thought for a moment: "Since you are asking for marriage, you have to be well prepared."

Proposing marriage to the daughter of Baron Dumont, once the matter was made public, it was the moment when Tu Qiongdang saw her, and Vobos would go crazy.

Of course, as long as the count is here, Fubosi can't cause big troubles.

Rosen personally feels that you just need to be prepared to prevent assassination.
