“To hit the players…”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

After cutting off Professor Lopilen’s words, the blackout of the laboratory was removed.

Through the window engraved with an unknown mana circuit, the sight of the imperial horse tower could be seen at a glance.

I didn’t understand.

I did not think that in a civilization that had achieved this level of development even though it was limited, it would be possible to preach a great truth with only an undergraduate level of mathematical knowledge.

The basis of magic is runes.

It’s a difficult concept for me.

Because the study of runes used to feel like a kind of theology.

But it didn’t make sense to say that the runes made mathematics regressive.

Runes were a concept limited to magic, but mathematics was the basis of all engineering.

“Even considering the paradigm shift…”

Because we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, we can see more and farther than the ancients.

Earth’s proverb

A paradigm shift comes when a genius of the century comes up with an innovative theory based on data accumulated over decades.

Aside from whether it will be established in this world, if it is a theory that penetrates the earth in the 20th century, it will lead to innovation here as well.

For example, the theory of relativity.

However, the mathematical theories discovered on Earth in the 17th and 18th centuries have not been discussed yet?

It was hard to believe.

I looked through Lopilen’s research journal again.

Lopilen was certainly far superior to me and was a genius scholar.

Even though it was an incorrect answer, she wandered along the way using various ideas to find the correct answer, but it was difficult to follow her intentions to develop the formula even though she used her powers.

Even if I left it alone, it wouldn’t take too long to find the answer.

It was thought that the concept Lopilen was working on was likely already discovered.

However, it must be monopolized in a tightly controlled environment.

Considering that different symbols are used between the towers, and magic and mathematical formulas are encoded and recorded one by one, it was quite possible.

Why are you trembling like this?

It’s probably because of the presence of magic.

It is a world where magic acts as a power.

Mathematical knowledge closely linked to magic will also have a monopoly position.

After organizing his thoughts, he looked at Lopilen again.

His face didn’t look very good.

“Are you here to kill me?”

“It’s not. Have you ever seen a face in our obelisk?”

Lopilen narrowed her eyes and wiggled her hand hidden behind her.

I straightened out my sword from my waist and threw it at Lorphyllen.

“I’m not here to harm the professor. Oh, of course, I hope you keep the obelisk secret. I recently found out that I have a peculiar constitution.

“Don’t pretend to be naive, tell the truth.”

“I’ve come to you with an offer.”

Originally, I would have thought for a bit longer and then picked the right person and made the offer.

Because of the obelisk’s work, Lopilen had become a target that had to be eliminated or conciliated.

“Would you like to hear it?”

“…Say it.”

To summarize the proposal to Lopilen:

Alesia and Floria came to the Imperial Palace for short-term study abroad. Can’t stay long

Even after they return home, they are looking for a good teacher to teach them magic.

Since you look like the right person, I will guarantee your safety at the Countess.

Instead, discard the problematic research, settle in the counties, and faithfully teach the girls.

“It’s not a bad offer, is it?”

“Shut up. Teach a child on the country floor to die of old age?”

Lopilene showed the expected reaction.

“You should cooperate with me if you don’t want it to be known that you can break into the obelisk.”

Her frantic quest for exploration made it impossible for her to choose a safe and comfortable rest of her life.

I had heard of Lopilen’s inclinations, so I thought about the various costs that she might inflict.

However, when I came to the lab, I changed my mind.

“Is the reason you’re under pressure in the tower because of the research you’re doing here?”

“…”

Lopilen, who roughly folded her forehead, relaxed her expression.

Rather than controlling his emotions, he seemed despondent.

“The guy who originally studied it is dead!! I ended up exchanging a few letters with him and it’s like this!!”

“Who are the people who put pressure on you?”

“I don’t know!! It must be one of the most powerful horse towers!! You’ve seen my research, so you’ll be a target in the same way!!”

The suppressed anger erupted out in a rushing breath.

I let out a shout that echoed through the lab, and tapped the desk in one ear.

Even if the magic tower targeting Lopilen was one of the top five in the Empire, there was a way to solve the problem smoothly.

Because the wizard was able to buy trust by engraving the contract.

I only needed to convince Lopilen well.

“I will provide you with a new interpretation of the concept you are studying. And I will support you in your personal research even after you come to the Count of Phillips.”

Lopilen snorted.

“This ignorant knight is trying to deceive me.”

The moment Lopilen is about to pour out her mana impulsively.

A faint knocking sound pierced my ears.

smart!

If my plans had not gone awry, there would be only one person who would knock now.

“It’s Floria.”

He hit the player before the look of embarrassment on Lopilen’s face disappeared.

“Calm down and listen to the story.”

*

with a splash!

Three days have passed since Rey had an argument with Lopilen.

Jenkinson found a public bathhouse in the Imperial Horse Tower and took a bath in hot water.

“Whew…”

Jenkinson’s lips softened pleasantly.

The system of the bathhouse, in which the water gushes up and down, is a very new approach no matter how many times you see it.

The splendid and huge public bathhouse of the imperial pagoda was secretly showing off the imperial technology.

Jenkinson leaned his back against the tub and swung his body slowly.

with a splash!

I heard the sound of running water on the other side, so when I opened my eyes, Rey was drowning in the bathtub.

After receiving Ray’s greeting, Jenkinson pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Are you sure you have promised Lopilen-sama’s cooperation?”

“Yes, Master.”

“You have relieved my worries. I hope that Alesia-sama and Floria-sama will be able to continue their learning even after they return home from studying abroad.”

Jenkinson spoke of external reasons for signing Lopilen.

As it is a public bathroom, I had quite a few ears to hear.

Ray and Jenkinson were partly talking about Lopilen’s work.

“When did you decide to engrave the contract?”

“It will be scheduled in ten days.”

Wizards leaving the Imperial Palace are bound by strong contract engravings to prevent them from leaking their knowledge.

As Lopilen was asked to play the role of a tutor, the contract engraving conditions would be a little more complicated, but there have been many such cases in the long history of the tower.

If you go through the proper procedure and leave the Imperial Palace, there is no practical reason for other horse towers to check Lopilen.

If a high-ranking aristocrat goes out to protect himself, he won’t set a date unnecessarily for emotional reasons.

‘Perhaps, I mean.’

The reason Ray and Jenkins continue this conversation is to see the liver.

If there was more pressure than expected when they talked about bringing Lophilen to the Earl of Phillips, the plan had to be canceled.

Ray and Jenkinson, who had talked about Lopilen long enough to spread the word, were silent.

I ran out of scripts I had prepared.

“…”

“…”

Ray and Jenkins weren’t close enough to keep the conversation going.

Jenkinson, who had been dipped in water on his face for nothing, was surprised when he lowered his head.

“…seeds.”

“yes?”

Jensinson’s gaze turned to Rey’s lower body.

Although it looked distorted due to being submerged in water, it could be corrected sufficiently with the sense of a knight.

“It’s small, but the stuff is pretty solid.”

What are the topics that have been brought up in the past?

While Jenkinson wrinkled his eyebrows in a sense of shame.

Rey looked down at his belongings, sighed and tilted his head back.

“Huh… it’s all thanks to genes, isn’t it?”

“gene?”

“Did you know? Half of my genes are made up of golden sun and half of prostit*tes.”

“Geumtae… What? What do you mean?”

“I’m talking about my biological mother-in-law was a teenager.”

Ray shook her head.

‘Damn it, it’s probable that the size of the lower leg.’

It was a delicate world in a very f*cking part.

“After inheriting the gene like a beggar, didn’t I grow up very prosperous?”

It’s all because my soul is clear, lol.

Seeing Ray talking to himself, Jenkinson made a bitter face.

Rey, who was grumbling at the ceiling, poured water over his head.

“Haha… Master. I feel dizzy every morning. Do you know why?”

“I do not know.”

“It’s because there’s not enough blood to go to the head because there’s too much blood on the bottom.”

“👀…”

In both past and present life, obscenity was a topic that could easily get laughs.

Ray and Jenkinson walked out of the bath, giggling and giggling for a while.

Ray, who was changing clothes in the private locker room, looked back through her still-dry hair.

“Were you able to get out of the obelisk?”

[Come inside the obelisk. Due to security, the information that can be transmitted from the outside is extremely limited.]

“I’m sorry, but if you get caught in there, you’ll be caught and killed.”

[We will cooperate as much as possible to conceal the traces of the successor. So come find me. Here’s what heirs need to know. This is not a recommendation.]

“I hear threats from my grandmother who died 600 years ago.”

I got caught, so I had to go.

Rey clicked her tongue briefly.

“Wait a few days.”

*

Whoops!

Paper that has not yet dried its ink turns into ashes in an instant.

Lopilen was engrossed in thought as she burned the material of several books generously.

Lopilen signed a contract with Floria three days ago.

If Rey could provide the ‘answer’ that Lopilen was looking for, it was a contract that would positively respond to Ray’s proposal while keeping the day’s work a secret.

Lopilen thought Rey was bullshit.

I thought that an ignorant knight was using his tongue to deceive people.

Lopilen laughed at Rey and poured out swear words.

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Nevertheless, he agreed to the contract with a feeling of desperation. In fact, it was a no-loss contract.

And after receiving Rey’s answer, Lopilen had no choice but to tremble.

What Rey gave me was a small idea and a way to look at numbers with a twisted point of view.

‘This is not a new concept.’

Concepts about complex numbers. and the complex plane.

On Earth, it was not until the late 18th and early 19th centuries that the concept was fully accumulated.

When it comes to answering, I can think of traces of the concept of this in some coded magic theories.

‘They were silver horse towers.’

He seemed to know the culprit who interfered with his research.

Silver horse towers who mainly explore space-related magic.

Unlike elemental magic, which tends to rely heavily on runes and experience, space magic necessarily requires complex mathematical calculations.

If we start with the complex plane and continue to develop related concepts, we will be able to implement space magic much more efficiently and quickly, and it has already been done, Lopilen judged.

‘Yeah, that’s right… Then this is…’

it looks like you know

Rey, who had little knowledge of magic, was unable to understand how it was used in magic while passing on the knowledge.

The mathematician who was studying this concept, Ator, was also ignorant of this, so he wrote a letter to Lopilen.

But Lopilen could understand.

‘This is extreme poison.’

The Empire and the Imperial Palace are encouraged to share and develop their knowledge while checking the monopoly of the magic knowledge of other magic towers.

Therefore, the original Imperial Horse Tower should have protected Lopilen.

Lopilen thought that the powerful horse tower was pressing him in a detour, but now that he sees it, it is not.

The imperial family and the silver horse tower were one.

The imperial family was extremely wary of leaking knowledge to be used in space magic.

‘Yeah, if it’s this, the Empire is pathologically wary.’

Among the anti-magic of the space series, there are two types of magic that are executed immediately for treason if attempted without permission.

one gate.

the other is-

“Meteor.”

Destruction magic that can blow up several estates.

Even if several Archmage gather together, it takes a long time to prepare for a single deployment.

When the space magic theory is developed, the conditions and time for developing the Meteor are inevitably reduced.

The empire was only foaming.

Some cities would be destroyed immediately if the advanced magic knowledge leaked out and an archmage hostile to the Empire attacked Meteor before the Empire could even prepare.

‘Is the Empire going to let me go.’

I have burned all the research journals, and I plan to faithfully sign the contract.

It would be impossible for Lophilen to leak her knowledge, but she did not know what would happen if the Empire took Lophilen seriously.

Of course, when Lopilen returned to her coolness, she had no intention of sharing this with Rey.

I just wished that the empire would have a broader mind .
