Master Tongtian

Chapter 248 Two indispensable legs towards transcendence (44)

The next morning.

After breakfast, Rosen, Dumont, and Moreau held secret discussions in the study.

"Old sir, I thought about it carefully last night, and I think it's best to hide our alliance for a while. It's better not to let Fubos know about it for the time being, so as not to stimulate him to go crazy."

"So, I won't take Damon back this time. I will only leave him a spell book to learn first."

The purpose of bringing Vandamont was to let Dumont send more bodyguards to him to deal with Faerun's sneak attack.

But after connecting with Vivian's magic, he is no longer afraid of Faerun, so there is no need to drag others into taking risks.

Du Meng was right after thinking about it: "You are a prudent approach, so I will do as you say."

Rosen added: "In addition, there will be about thirty ships of supplies transported back from the Eastern Territory."

"Of these thirty ships, the old gentleman can intercept ten."

"When the time comes, I will use the white flag on the ship as a mark. Five ships will be given to you, and five ships will be given to Lord Moro. This is not only the transit tax I paid, but also a clear statement to Fubos."

Du Meng was very happy: "This is a good idea."

Before the matter was completely settled, he really didn't want to completely break up with Fubos, and now such a secret alliance was just what he wanted.

Rosen continued: "Now that the summer flood season has passed, the issue of flood control dams is not urgent for the time being."

"My guess is that within three months at most, the battle for the position of earl will be finally decided. It will be early winter then, and I will send some trained construction mages to help the old gentleman strengthen the embankment for free."

After saying that, he looked at Lord Moreau again: "Lord Moreau will help you strengthen the dam if necessary, and help you build a new manor castle."

Upon hearing this, Du Meng said: "Moro, there is no threat of flooding in your territory, but the castle really needs to be repaired. My daughter has lost weight when she came back this time. It seems that her life is not going well."

Lord Moro immediately said: "Father-in-law, I will definitely build a new castle as soon as possible."

Finally, Rosen talked about Chabolais and Cassandrine.

"In a few days, I will arrange for Charbolet to go to Lord Moreau's castle. As long as the matter is settled, I will ask Charbolet to cry to the count, and then the marriage will definitely come true."

Du Meng shrugged, feeling like he was helping his daughter commit adultery, but since this matter involved the family's future, it was only natural that he should use extraordinary means.

He said: "Mo Luo, then you can take Shanshan back this time, and then send her back when she becomes pregnant."

Lord Moro is a gentleman, and this is the first time he has done such a bad thing. He doesn't know how to evaluate it, so he can only nod his head, which is regarded as acquiescence.

So far, things have been agreed upon.

Rosen said: "I will go back to Crescent Town in a little while. Things are busy in the town, so I can't leave for too long."

Afterwards, the three of them left the study and started working step by step according to the agreed situation.

About an hour later, Rosen, Vivian, the Morrows, and Chabolai's intended wife Cassandrine got on the wooden boat and set sail back to Fanggu Town.

On the wooden boat, Rosen did not go to the deck to blow the wind. Instead, he sat in the cabin and carefully studied the principles of mana connection.

Anyone with eyes can see that this magical connection has great future.

If he figured it out, he could train a group of purely meditative mages from an early age as power banks.

If you can combine more than one with one, you can even break through the limit of gods and mortals. Even if you can only combine with one, those two high-level mages can match the archmage together.

Now, he is carefully reading the alchemy book given by Vivian.

This book is quite complex, many times more complicated and cumbersome than the previous petrification, and it is also extremely detailed.

Just see it written in the book.

‘23.3 Phosar’s crystal yellow stone plus 722 cels of distilled water. The water should be cold to the touch. It is best to use ice cubes to control the temperature. ’

He asked: "What is crystal yellow stone?"

Vivian was holding a small silver mirror, a small wooden comb, and carefully trimming the hair on her temples with a pair of delicate scissors. She began to explain after hearing this.

"It's a crystal extracted from urine. It's pure and colorless, but it's difficult to purify, so it's slightly yellow."

Rosen understood and continued reading.

"When adding boiling crystals, be sure to do so slowly and evenly, and stir constantly to prevent the foam from overflowing quickly."

“When extracting, use the best quality aromatic powder oil, which is squeezed from pink olives.”

"Heat the liquid to the point of boiling, but never boiling."

Just looking at it gave Rosen a headache.

"Why can't I see any principles? It's all a summary of experience? And the condition control is also very vague. What if I make a mistake?"

"If you make a mistake, just try again."

Vivian looked matter-of-fact.

"Let me tell you, the matter in the mortal world is ten thousand times more complex than the stars in the sky. Refining medicine is just about groping for a path in a starless and moonless night. If you can find a path, it's already good. Wanting to see the whole picture clearly is delusional. "

Rosen understood and continued reading.

Vivian was aroused to talk and sighed.

"So, in alchemy, the experience of senior alchemists is the most important. Alchemists who don't respect their seniors will soon lie in a cold grave."

Rosen asked: "Have you ever thought about exploring the basic laws of the material world?"

"I think so, but unfortunately I don't have the ability. Even you, I don't think you do."

"Because the world on earth is so complicated. The more things you know, the more ignorant you feel."

While she was talking, she fixed her hair on the temples and turned to ask Rosen: "Look at it for me. Is it neat?"

Rosen looked at it carefully and nodded: "I bet the difference in the number of hairs on the temples is definitely within ten."

This answer made Vivian very satisfied.

She continued to trim her hair and said at the same time: "In my opinion, there are noble and inferior materials in the world."

While reading, Rosen responded casually: "Oh?"

Vivian didn't need any formal response from him, she just wanted someone to talk to.

"The lowest things are naturally the stones and soil that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. The nobler things are all kinds of precious ores, and the most noble ones are the various substances that make up life."

"Many people say that rats can grow in rice tanks and small fish can grow in ponds, but this is all nonsense."

"I have done many experiments, and I am sure that only life can give birth to life!"

"It is impossible for life to be born out of thin air from low-level matter that is not life, at least I have never seen it."

Rosen listened carefully and felt that Vivian was really a rare scientific research talent.

He wanted to give some enlightenment, so he asked with a smile: "You said that there are low and high materials, so I have some questions that I want to ask you to answer."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze from the alchemy book to Vivian, and suddenly felt speechless.

"I said, we are on the boat now. Aren't you afraid of cutting off the flesh?"

Vivian glared at Rosen with dissatisfaction: "If you hadn't caused trouble last night, I wouldn't have been in such trouble."

Although he said this, he was indeed a little panicked, but handed the scissors to Rosen's hand.

"My perspective is wrong, please help me cut it."

Rosen shrugged and took the scissors to help.

No longer worried, Vivian said: "As long as you have questions about refining medicine, feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer."

Rosen began to ask.

"If materials are divided into high and low, then why can grass and trees grow in the lowest soil? And why can people grow up if they eat the seeds of grass and trees?"

“Similarly, why irrigating crops with manure makes them produce better crops.”

"So since crops can grow from soil and manure, can people just eat the former and skip the intermediate steps?"

"An obvious fact is that man must eat what grows in the earth, but the earth has no demands on man, and even exists without man."

"This shows that the earth is far more powerful than people, and people are more like blood-sucking fleas on the 'giant beast' of the earth."

"Behemoth or a flea, who is more noble and who is less?"

After asking some questions, Vivian was speechless.

After a while, she said: "As expected of the master of Liushu, my ability to think logically is far inferior to yours. I can't answer any of your questions."

"But I have to say that your questions are very enlightening and have pointed out many research directions for me."

Rosen smiled slightly: "Actually, I am also very curious about life."

"In fact, I have ordered a batch of instruments from the Eastern Territory to build a first-class alchemy laboratory."

"Perhaps one day, I can find the material laws hidden deep under the cover of numerous material appearances."

By now, Rosen knew very clearly that he must explore the laws of matter.

Even more, we must understand the most complex form of material operation—the operation rules of life.

Because facts have proven that even when one reaches transcendence, the body is extremely important.

The soul and the body are the two legs that lead to transcendence. Both are indispensable!

Vivian's eyes widened when she heard this, and when she saw that her legs were blocking Rosen's hands, she moved her body and adjusted her posture.

"Is it like discovering gravity through the stars before?"

Rosen nodded: "I hope I can find it."

Vivian became excited: "With your intelligence, you will definitely be able to find it."

Rosen kept his words: "It depends on luck."

He cut a few more times, and when he felt it was almost done, he said, "That's it for my level. Can you see for yourself?"

Vivian took a look in the mirror and nodded: "It's pretty good, as expected of a painter's hand. It looks much better than what I trimmed myself."

She put down her skirt and carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt. After finishing it, she saw Rosen lying lazily on the chair with the alchemy book aside, so she asked, "Aren't you going to study the principle of mana connection?"

Rosen shook his head: "It's all a summary of experience. If we can't find anything really certain, naturally we can't summarize a certain principle."

The principle of mana connection is much more complicated than he imagined.

With his current knowledge, there is no possibility of understanding it, let alone making improvements on this basis.

He sighed softly and looked at the void in front of him with blurred eyes.

"The number of relationships among soul, body, and matter is countless. It is indeed countless times more complicated than the stars in the sky."

Vivian feels the same way.

Rosen turned to look at her: "Can the connection potion be taken for a long time?"

"No, taking too much will damage your brain."

"Insurance calculations can only be made once every six months. If the frequency is higher than this, you may become a madman. Not only will you become a madman, but I will also become a madman."

"Oh~ What a pity."

He thought he had obtained a very powerful secret technique, but now it seems that it can only be used as an emergency.

"No more, I'm going to modify the spell, you can do whatever you want."

High-level spells are purely logical and have found the correct path, so naturally they must fully exert their effects.

I had already changed it for a long time last night, and I just want to continue it today.

The return trip is upstream, and you have to pull fiber in many places before you can get up.

It took more than three times as long as traveling downstream. By the time we arrived at Morro Castle, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Rosen was not in a hurry to return to Crescent Town. He first rested for a night at Morrow Castle, and then concentrated on studying spells for a whole night, completing all the major logical spells he knew to advanced levels.

Early the next morning, he took the Bright Moon Carriage and headed north to Crescent Town with Vivian and the five Silver Moon Rangers.

"Vivian, I will take you to Maple Leaf Town, and then you can return to the manor by yourself."

"Fine."

"There may be a sneak attack on the road. When the time comes, you can hide in the bright moon carriage and leave everything else to me."

"Is it Faerun?"

"It's very possible, after all, he was screwed out of his mind by you."

"He is the Archmage, are you sure you can deal with him?"

"Originally I didn't, but now I can at least protect myself."

As he spoke, he blessed himself and Vivian with two extremely dexterous, disassembled trigger-type high-level thorn shields.

It is the same defensive spell and a physical defensive object. Its power has reached Master Level 2, and its constant effect lasts for 12 hours.

Then, he waited for his mana to recover.

After that, he used the same technique to give each Silver Moon Ranger a magic thorn shield, with the same power as Master Level 2.

After doing this, rest with your eyes closed.

About half an hour later, the Bright Moon carriage drove out of Fanggu Town and arrived in the wasteland outside the town.

This place has the flowing Amber River on the left and undulating hills on the right. Some scattered mountain villages can be seen halfway up the mountain in the distance, but they are all more than five or six miles apart.

While walking, Hansen's voice suddenly came from ahead.

"Mayor, something is wrong. It's too quiet. The birds don't even chirp."

There are not many chapters in this book, but it’s okay to follow. So Lao Mo knew that those who read this book must be gentle gentlemen who focus on reading.
