Sword of Daybreaker

Standing in front of Rosetta Augustus are the president of the Royal Mage Association, the legendary mage Windsor Maple, and Daniel, the master of magic that has now become the president of the Empire Industry Association.

They are the most outstanding scholars and technical talents of this empire, the royal family's most trusted consultants in the extraordinary and industrial fields, and the right and left arms of Rosetta Augustus himself.

The news that Courage departed from the port of Mobius was not known to many people within the empire. That ship is the result of Tifeng ’s most advanced technology. The related news is naturally also confidential, but those who can stand in this room Obviously not subject to the secrecy regulations. After hearing Rosetta, Windsor smiled for the first time: "This is indeed good news."

Daniel asked with some curiosity: "Is Courage still on Thasos now?"

"Still on Thassos, but will return today," Rosetta said unhurriedly. He knew what Daniel was curious about. "The news is that the port of Mobius sent back by magical communication has the strongest on the east coast. The big messaging tower, and on that ship ... installed a small messaging circle that Ms. Windsor Mappel personally modified. "

Daniel froze for a moment, then looked at Windsor Maple indifferently, and nodded with the same indifferent expression as before: "Good results."

"Thank you for your compliment," Windsor said immediately. "It's just a modification of traditional spells, not a breakthrough creation."

"But it's also a fruitful transformation," said Rosetta Augustus. "It turns out that the technology of the sleeping person in communication is extremely useful. The period between Tassos and Mobius is not short. The distance of the old communication tower can not achieve such a long distance communication. However, the current improved communication circle has not been very stable. The courage has successfully reached Tassos for several days, but the communication has been interfered by the magic environment of the ocean. The information was not sent back smoothly until today. "

"This is the problem we are going to solve in the next stage," Windsor Mapel said immediately. "It didn't take long for us to get the technology of the Sleeper. The improvement of the communication spell has just begun, and in many cases, it is even simple and rough. The ideas are used in our own communication technology, and there is still a lot of room for optimization. In the future, no matter whether it is performance or cost, our communication technology will definitely have greater improvements. "

Rosetta Augustus glanced at the legendary mage with a smile: "I have always believed in your abilities, ma'am."

...

The corridor from Obsidian Palace to the Royal Collection is very long, requiring hundreds of steps, and it has always been quiet.

Only a few people are qualified to walk here.

Daniel and Windsor Maple walked along this long corridor. On both sides, they only occasionally saw the guards guarding the guards. The footsteps of the two mages were very light, which made the empty corridor seem more deserted and quiet. .

The first to break the silence was Windsor Maple. She turned her head slightly and looked at the old tutor walking beside her: "Tutor, I remember when you first took me through this corridor with me. At that time I just broke through to high-level, you said that it is a great honor for a magi to go from this corridor to the Royal Library ... "

Daniel ’s expression did n’t change, but he responded indifferently: “Several years after that, you will be eligible to unblock the area as a legendary mage.”

Windsor Maple spoke subconsciously: "Teacher, I ..."

"No, I didn't blame you," Daniel's footsteps paused slightly. He glanced at the former apprentice beside him, and there was only a calm in his eyes. "I'm just saying that your talent is really good. This talent belongs to you. , We should all accept this fact. "

Windsor looked at the tutor's calm gaze, and suddenly felt inexplicably calm in his heart.

She hasn't seen the mentor's calm appearance for many years.

What does the tutor look like in the past years? Confrontation, boredom, frustration, anger, hysteria ... Since he tried to break through the talent bottleneck with some terrible methods many years ago and failed, this once gentle and wise old man seems to have become a person, getting more and more away from himself Far, in the end, he even voluntarily left the Royal Mage Association and chose to go to a place inaccessible to retreat. After many years, the old man returned to the imperial capital, and his attitude towards himself was still the cold and full of years of separation. No sign of melting, Windsor Maple even felt that this suspicion would never disappear.

The once intimate mentors and disciples became like strangers.

However, the emperor's series of plans made the pair of mentors and apprentices who were like Molu have to come back together. Whether they would like it or not, as the two most outstanding talents in this country, they must meet here frequently and work together. Work, exchange, argue, and help each other because of contact with technology and knowledge.

"Actually, I am very lucky to have such an opportunity," Windsor Maple smiled and said with emotion, "Your Majesty's mission has brought us back on track. I think you have proved that you have been many years ago. The talents of people who want to prove are by no means more than extraordinary powers. Your talents in the field of magic technology are also of "legendary" level. "

According to Windsor Maple, Daniel is so calm now, and it must be inseparable from the development of magic technology. This persistent old man has proved himself in a new field. This "proof" is enough to unlock his heart. , And as long as the heart is untied, the kind tutor gradually returns.

Daniel just glanced at Windsor quietly.

The powerful legendary mage has excellent talent and transcendent status, but this does not mean that she has any ability to perceive people's hearts.

fair enough.

"You don't have to compliment me, you know I don't like compliments," Daniel shook his head and said lightly. "In fact, people with talents in the field of magic usually don't have the same talents in the field of magic technology. Many places are already interlinked. Your improvement in communication spells proves your ability in this area. It is not something that ordinary people can do in a short time to understand the technology of the sleeper. "

"Thank you for your compliment," Windsor smiled, but then frowned, and said seriously, "But I also encountered a lot of difficulties ... The rune system of the Sleeper was born out of divine magic, but the communication spell and There is a problem of energy conflict between divine arts, now I try to use pure arcane magic to drive two sets of runes, which results in the stability of the entire system is very low, and it is easy to appear against the current and meltdown ... I think Sisi The Er people must have solved this obstacle in order to boldly apply the Rune Sleeper's runes to those 'Magnet terminal'. Recently I am looking for this key conversion structure from the sample of the Monet terminal ... "

She spoke seriously and meticulously about the problems she faced when facing the new knowledge, just as she had discussed problems with her tutor when she was an apprentice many years ago, but soon she discovered that Daniel did not respond to herself, the old man was just quiet Standing quietly beside, looking at this side with strange calm eyes, this made her unable to help but be confused: "Teacher?"

"I'm listening, but I don't have any good advice," Daniel shook his head slowly, his eyes still on Windsor Maple, then he was silent for two seconds before sighing softly, "You do Very talented ... "

"I'm glad you would listen to me talking about these questions with you. I know they are boring and not your job," Windsor smiled, and then took a step back. "I'm going to take a step first. Prince Hadyron and I If you have an appointment, you should meet in more than half an hour. "

Daniel nodded simply: "Well, you go."

Windsor Maple left, leaving Daniel alone in the long, empty corridor.

He looked at the direction in which the apprentice was leaving, and sighed softly in an undetectable voice.

"Windsor ... Your talent is really great ..."

Two seconds later, the old mage shook his head and continued to walk slowly and calmly.

He was not jealous, and he never hated any of his apprentices.

It was only at this moment that Windsor Maple's ability showed him a "danger".

But in the end, he decided not to do anything.

This is not because of the legendary mage status of Windsor Maple. In fact, he knows that Windsor Maple is completely undefended against him, and with the advantage of the secret, he can completely without any positive contact. Undermine the research projects of the Royal Mage Association, or at least greatly hinder and delay their progress.

But there are many talented people in this world, and in the powerful Tifeng, there are more than one person like "Windsor Maple". There were many in the past and many in the future.

The master said that he did not mind the development of Tifeng. He even enjoyed seeing other mortal kingdoms prosperous because he himself would ensure that Cecil would always be the strongest of all kingdoms.

Under this premise, the master does not advocate that he obstructs most of the technological progress of Tifeng because every technological progress, whether it is Tifeng or Cecil, is the common wealth of mortals.

He once did not understand the master ’s great ideas, but just mechanically executed orders in this regard, but after personally participating in the construction of the magic industry, and seeing the changes of Tiefon and Cecil in person, he felt that he could vaguely I understood the idea of ​​the "mortal community" of the master.

He exhaled for a long time, showing a smile.

Windsor Maple's talent is her own, and as her mentor ... she should be happy.

...

Matilda Augustus was sitting on a small sofa by the window, and sunlight slanted through the window, illuminating the crystal ornaments and "Cecile cubes" on the table.

She turned the pages of the book in her hand and squeezed the hair falling down from her ears. At this time, footsteps came from not far away, and she raised her eyes from the book to the direction of the door.

The young Prince Hadrum was entering the room.

"Hadillon," Matilda nodded. "Aren't you going to meet Ms. Windsor Maple at this time?"

"After half an hour, sister," Hadron casually said, "What are you looking at?"

"A gift just sent by cross-border mail this morning," Mathil Dayan lifted the seemingly light-weight book in his hand, and pointed his finger at the neat and tidy book on the table not far away. In an exquisite wooden box, this is obviously a huge series of books, "" The Foundation of Everything ", this incredible masterpiece is finally completed, and the emperor Cecil sent me a signed version as promised, I am watching it Of the sociology paper, I feel very enlightened. "

"The Cecil's 'Natural Encyclopedia'?" The young Prince Hadron mumbled casually, reaching out to the bookcase while sitting down opposite Matilda, "Speaking of Cecil ... … Do you feel that there are more and more things from Cecil recently? Their magazines, their newspapers, and their toys ... When I was in town, I saw businessmen's children playing Rune Cubes , They shouted 'Cecile cubes' happily, and it seemed that having a 'Cecile cubes' among the children was something to be proud of. "

"This proves that their parents have sufficient financial strength and that they have sufficient wisdom to understand how the cube works," Matilda glanced at Hadron. "Carefully read the copy in your hand. Not opened yet. "

Hadron immediately put the "Agricultural Paper" back into the bookcase: "I won't read it at all."

Matilda ’s attention was drawn to her brother. She looked at Hadron ’s eyes and seemed to ask casually, “Speaking of gifts ... I ’ve brought you the gift from Cecil. It ’s been over a month, and no evaluation has been made yet. "

"Oh my god," Hadron's cousin suddenly became weird. He glanced at Matilda with a frown, "I sometimes wonder if you are deliberately making fun of me ... you can't give me some Is it a real, normal gift ... "

"I think books are the most normal gift, especially books that are rich in knowledge and inspiring," Matilda said immediately. "Hadillon, you have always been lax in learning. That's why you have Windsor. A legendary mage such as Ms. Maple personally taught, but she still has ... "

"Stop, stop, I broke through the high-level last month, so your preaching in this regard is useless," Hadron immediately raised his hand and shook his head again, "And I admit that the book is indeed It ’s a good gift, but do n’t you think it ’s a bit excessive to add twelve books in mathematics and mechanics with 187 sets of papers? ”

Matilda looked at her brother quietly. Two seconds later, she nodded solemnly and said, "That's Cecil's specialty."

"... This is terrible," Hadron opened his hands helplessly, "so I said that there is so much" Cecile "here ..."
