Evetrona's old stories

"What kind of photo did you take?" Eve stood up and asked cautiously.

"I'm a reporter from the 'Defender' newspaper, and I'm one of my own." The man took out two small cards from his pocket and distributed them to Eve and Marco.

On the card was the newspaper's address, zip code, and the man's name—Sunny Stevenson.

"Isn't this our Knights' own newspaper?" Marco said.

"The Knights still have a newspaper?" Eve was a little surprised.

"Yes, and there are two more—the Defender and the Seeker." Sunny straightened his collar, and said, "Our Defender newspaper focuses on following up the affairs of the Knights Order and pursuing first-hand news, just like the current situation; while the Seeker Newspaper is affiliated to the Knights Academy, focusing on academic exchanges and publishing some critical articles."

"I don't want to be in the newspaper, can you delete the photo you just took?" Eve said with a frown.

"That's it... Technically speaking, it might be a bit difficult." Sunny smiled and explained: "Besides, I'm just doing routine shooting and doing things according to the requirements. As for which one the editors of the newspaper should use, they have the final say. But don't worry, even if the photo is used, it will definitely be a positive publicity, and it will never appear in other irrelevant news."

He used two "absolutes".Seeing his swearing appearance, Eve didn't insist on asking him to delete the photos.

Sunny was very sincere, and he shook hands with Eve, "Dear female knight, I heard that you have made great achievements this time. If you have the opportunity to come to the Eastern City in the future, you can visit the defender newspaper. We welcome you at any time."

"What about me?" Marco also held out his hand.

Sunny shook hands with him enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "Sure, you are also welcome."

On the other side of the castle, in a room next to the hall of Sirinth Castle, the old knight Odassy quarreled with Captain Hollyn who had just arrived here.

"How did this terrible thing happen to me!" Odasi, who was already bad-tempered, yelled at this moment even more.Huo Lien, who was wearing a red cloak, pursed his lips, trying to interrupt him, but couldn't find a chance.Odasi complained: "You have to pay half of the responsibility for this matter. You asked me to come—Horien, our lives were saved by Smilro. Although this matter has passed for a long time, you can't deny it!"

"Of course I admit it." Huo Lien quickly took his words, "But the question is, why did Smirro become the leader of the bandits? I don't remember that he is..."

"I said earlier that you remembered wrongly. We argued about it a few days ago - Smirro just disappeared. He didn't die at the time. Both you and Hutton remembered wrongly!"

"Are you sure he's Smirro?"

"I recognized his appearance and the scar on his face at a glance!" Odassy was so irritable that he almost pointed at Holly's nose and argued, "You have seen the corpse just now, so you can tell if it is him!"

Huo Lien frowned tightly, reached out and wiped his bald forehead.This incident was really weird. He remembered that Smirro died of illness during the march, but Odasi firmly believed that he was lost while crossing the river. Hollyn had checked the corpse of the bandit leader when he came. Although more than 30 years had passed, he was still completely sure that the face was Smirro's.

There can be no such coincidence in the world: there will be a person who looks like Smillow and has exactly the same scars and burns on his face.

"I wasn't wearing a helmet just now, but Smirro covered his face. When he saw me for the first time, I thought he must have recognized me." Odasi sat heavily on the crate behind him, and knocked over a bag of potatoes next to him. The gray-black potatoes were mixed everywhere along the uneven floor tiles, but the two of them seemed to have not seen each other at all, just looking at each other, eyes full of resentment and anxiety.Odasi sighed, cursed a few more words, and said, "I just wanted to kill him at the time, and I didn't notice anything wrong afterwards."

Huo Lien was silent for a while, then asked in a daze: "Odaxi, do you really think that there will be such a coincidence in the world?"

"The fact is right in front of me. I killed my savior with my own hands—this is life...fucking life."

"Smirro...how did he become a bandit?" Huo Lien leaned against the cold stone wall, feeling as if he was dreaming.

Smirro was their comrade-in-arms and their most trusted team leader. Smirro had saved their lives more than once.

"He has a son whose head was smashed by Yod Urien with a scepter when he charged just now. This man's name is Alben, and it may not be his real name." Odasi put his hands on his forehead and vented his anger after the roar just now. Afterwards, his emotions calmed down a bit at this time, "Alben has two daughters, the eldest daughter jumped off the tower and fell to her death, the second daughter is still alive, she seems to be a witch, killed the four of us, two of them One is a new student."

Huo Lien looked at him quietly and didn't speak.

"I'm really ashamed of Smirro." Odasi rubbed his wrinkled face in great pain, "If I can't do something, let me jump off this cliff, Hollyn."

"You want to adopt that girl?" Hearing his tone, Huo Lien's face was livid, and he seemed a little sullen.

"I just want to die." Odasi stared at him, slowly shook his head, "Holyn, I am the executioner, you are the commander, we are all ungrateful people."

"She needs to go through a court trial, and she will definitely be imprisoned forever." Holly lowered his head and fiddled with the buckle of his cuff, "It won't work."

"Take her off the list and treat her as dead."

"Odasi, what are you thinking? With so many people watching, how could you let me make this mistake?"

"There is room for this matter. Don't take me for a fool, Hollyn." Audasy pointed outside the door, "It's not that difficult to deal with Olakin and that junior from the Alchemy Association. Don't forget that this is a ruin. The entire basement is full of things they want, and they are waiting for your approval now."

"I'm not afraid of them, and they're not the only outsiders. For example, the girl named Eve, it's hard to guarantee that she won't bring up this matter with Luo Tilan."

"If she wants to say it, then let her say it. Lotilan is not the kind of person like Feng En who is willing to meddle in other people's business." Audaxi was a little annoyed, "Ho Lien, what time is it, why are you still so timid?"

Holly wriggled his lips, thinking about the stakes in this matter.

"Odasi, is Smillow really that important?" The topic turned back to the beginning of the quarrel, and Hollyn persuaded him again, "Only the two of us know about this matter..."

"Haolien, do you have a conscience?"

The more Huo Lien hesitated, the tougher Odasi became.

In the end, he compromised, and Huo Lien said: "I can help with this matter, but I have to adopt her."

"why?"

"I didn't kill her father, nor her grandfather." Holly said, "Odaxi, it's not that I don't trust you, but I always feel that if you adopt her, you will definitely not be ruthless. You said this to me just now - if her character is not corrected as soon as possible, she will become a disaster sooner or later... We need to be careful, we can't breed tigers."

"I understand, as long as you are willing to help..." Odasi's eyes were a little red, "Old friend, I know I'm being stupid again, I even thought about the scene when the kid grew up to take revenge on me, but... "

"Okay, it's settled like this." Huo Lien sighed.

[100] Winter Wind (Part [-])

Erlogin and Ponsev sat at opposite ends of a wooden table, with a golden-green sphere placed in the middle.This morning, Alben's youngest daughter successfully broke through the siege of the Knights with this sphere.

After the sphere has been heavily used, the texture on it has become much blurred and lacks a lot of details.

"If this sphere is really made by Aldon, then he is really a genius." Poncef shook his head, "Even the Alchemy Association can't make such a highly efficient magic device."

"I have roughly calculated that the theoretical casting dimension is above 2.8." Ellogin said.

Ponsev's eyes widened in disbelief.

The casting dimension is a standard, calculated similarly to Hausdorff's dimension in another world.In simple terms, the casting dimension is mainly used to evaluate the space utilization of self-similar graphs.The surface area of ​​a three-dimensional fractal structure is theoretically infinite, but it is not the case in actual production, because its structure cannot be iterated downward indefinitely.When applied in practice, the casting dimension can be used as a criterion for judging the comprehensive effectiveness of the magic energy device - when the coefficient is between 2.6 and 2.9, the casting effect is the best.

"If this thing is brand new, the flux of magic energy under full force will be very large - an ordinary person may have the ability of a witch in an instant." Irekin said, "This thing is far stronger than the Oran Rubik's Cube in terms of efficiency and continuous ability."

The Oran Rubik's Cube can be understood as a Fengluweijin cube or regular tetrahedron with a Menger sponge structure. Due to its relatively mature manufacturing technology, it is a widely used magic energy device structure type.In fact, alchemists have designed many different types of magic energy devices, but due to the lack of processing precision, their ideas can only stay on the blueprints in the end.

The sphere on the table has a ribbon-shaped hollow streamlined structure. Even though most of it has been consumed, its details look blurred, but it still has an unparalleled exquisite beauty.

"This thing is neither carved nor etched." Poncef picked up the sphere and said with some doubts: "This may involve very advanced technical applications. I really don't believe that our mysterious colleague can actually create such a thing."

"How do you think this thing is made?"

"The principle is simple, but it is difficult to operate." Ponser shook his head. "You also know that the method of making the wind and the wind with alchemy is to add the small particles of the heavenly stones as a crystal species into the solution, so that the newer wind is attached to it to produce a crystal nucleus, and then the formation of the formation of the high temperature of the formation of the heaven is to increase Pure. Generally speaking, the wind crystals made by this method are all irregular particles that have precipitated at the bottom of the solution. "

"You mean to say that this magic weapon was made during the process of making Fengluwei?"

"I think it is." Poncef said, pointing to the pattern on the sphere, "This pattern is somewhat similar to a standing wave pattern produced by sound waves. Theoretically, as long as we can obtain the exact solution ratio and several sound wave fields that are just right and constantly changing, we can create such a thing. The principle is this - in a sound field of a specific frequency, the solution will form a special pattern under the agitation of sound waves."

The patterns that Ponsev refers to are similar to the Chrani patterns formed by the vibration of sand on a thin plate.

"We need a container with a different shape than before to produce the standing wave pattern we need. Through the effect of acoustic levitation, we need to suspend the seed crystals in the solution and form specific Fengluwei crystals under the constraints of standing waves." Poncef said here, almost going crazy, "Can you imagine how many difficulties we have to overcome to make such a thing?"

"Probably - the shape and material of the container, a sound wave generator with a stable frequency and sufficient power, and..."

"That's not the main thing, Mr. Sean." Poncef interrupted Ollekin, "The density of Fengluwei and ochre is different. After the crystal nucleus is formed, we need to constantly adjust the sound wave parameters to suspend the thing that may eventually weigh half a kilogram in the solution. At the same time, we also need to maintain the shape of the standing wave. After that, after the first-level pattern is formed, we need to adjust the frequency of the sound wave to form a finer standing wave, which is used to iterate the next-level structure of the fractal pattern... It should be noted that if the standing wave If the waves are blocked by the crystals formed, that is considered a failure."

"If it's according to what you said, this thing can't be made at all." Olukin frowned.

"It's not that it can't be made, but it's unimaginably difficult." Poncef tapped the table with his knuckles, "We need very large theoretical calculations, as well as very precise and fine control and operation during the manufacturing process, all of which are far beyond what humans can do."

"What does that depend on, machinery? Complicated machinery?"

"Yes, we need a machine—I think so—first, it can process data, and can make precise and fast calculations; then, it can accurately time, and can respond within one thousandth of a second or even one millionth of a second; finally, it should have a series of grammars, just like singing magic or drawing tattoos, and we can make it work according to our own wishes—let it automatically calculate the result, or simulate the process, or control and make such an exquisite appliance."

"There may not be such an omnipotent machine." Olekin said, "Although there are indeed similar machines mentioned in the texts of the Old Era, I always feel that those are fictional things. If there is such a machine, then the human beings in the Old Era must also be wiped out by this thing."

"Maybe this is the truth." Ponsev threw the sphere back on the table and watched it slowly roll to Olekin. "If there is no such mechanism, it is impossible to explain how the magic energy device in front of us was produced."

"I'd rather believe that it grew from a tree," said Olekin.

"If there is a tree that can bear such fruit, it must be the tree of reason." Poncef stood up a little excitedly when he said this, "However, there are some things we can verify, such as whether there is a sky ocher crystal seed in the center of this ball. You can tell when you cut it open."

"I know you're very interested in this thing." Irekin took the ball back into the storage container. "But things have to come first. After I go back, I'll write you a detailed report—until I figure out how this thing works on that piece of equipment, I can't do any destructive research."

"What do you mean... you want to take them all back?" Ponsev asked.He glanced around the corner of the room.

They were currently in a kitchen in the castle, with a few blackened rib fans and crumpled garlic hanging on the beam behind them, and the fire in the fireplace was burning vigorously.

"This time, we each have our own tasks," said Olykin, "not to interfere with each other."

Ponsev looked into his eyes, thought for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

Indeed, he came here this time to perform official duties on the surface, but in fact, he was conducting another secret investigation.He's investigating a very ancient organization - the Yafontus - a mysterious group that has existed since the Second Era.He thought Ordon was from Yafonto.

On the street of the castle, Eve was standing outside watching the knights carrying items from the castle. They counted and sealed the stolen items one by one, and they were too busy to do so.

"I really don't know who is the robber." Marco followed her closely, "Have you ever heard of the term kleptocracy? The biggest bandit leader in our country will never allow others to rob things on his territory, just like this."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, that's not how the word is used." Eve couldn't help correcting.

"It's almost the same." Marco still insisted on his own opinion, "Look at this place, they stayed here well, and they were killed just because they touched the Kriging's mine. When there was no country, shouldn't these things be dug casually? There are also trees on the mountain, which are all gifts of nature, but they say that it is against the law to cut down trees without authorization... What are they not robbers?"

"Being a knight really wronged you." Eve said, "Why don't you go and squat with those prisoners?"

"That's the opposite of what you said. The Knights have always robbed others. No one dared to rob us. I just joined the Knights because of this." Marco said half-jokingly.

While the two were talking, a magician in a white robe trotted over. It was the person who was sent by Olukin to rescue Eve this morning.

"Mr. Ologin has something to ask you to come over." The young man's tone was very polite.

"Can I follow? I'm her follower." Before Eve could speak, Marco spoke first.

"This... I don't know too well." The young man scratched his head.

"Can you stop making trouble." Eve pushed him angrily and smiled, and then said to the young man, "Let's go, leave him alone, let him wait outside if he wants to come."

Led by the young man, Eve entered the hall of the castle building and went to the room where Ologin and Poncef were.Marco followed closely behind, and was blocked by the young man again, and only Eve was let in.

"Eve, I want to ask you for a favor." Ologin said straight to the point.

"Tell me." Eve nodded, feeling a little uneasy.

"Help change the girl's clothes." When he said this, Olugin's voice was very low. He lowered his head, covered his mouth with his hands and coughed twice.

"What do you mean? I don't seem to hear clearly..." Eve thought she had heard it wrong.

"We want to study the material of her clothes, we have no other ideas." Ponsev quickly explained, his expression looked innocent, "Now we can only ask you for help, because there are no other women in the Knights except you."

Following Poncef's line of sight, Eve looked at the firewood pile in the corner of the kitchen. There was a quilt tied with a rope on it, and a sack was wrapped around the top.

Eve walked over and took off the dark sack on the quilt, and her flowing white hair slowly spread out under her surprised gaze.The girl looked up at Eve, her gaze seemed to be probing.In these clear blue eyes, Eve seemed to be able to see her own shadow.

The two are so close.Compared with the ferocious performance in the morning, the girl now seems to be more beautiful and moving.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Eve felt an inexplicable desire burst out of her heart, and then disappeared without a trace. It was a familiar and long-lost feeling.

At this time, the girl's face was very calm, even a little calm.She looked at Eve quietly without saying a word.But Eve seemed a little dazed, because the girl's behavior seemed to be quite different from before, and she wondered if this person had been transferred.

"Don't worry, she is still in a state of disordered elements, and she can't cast magic on you," Ponsev said.

All three people in the room were looking at Eve, waiting for her to react.

"I'm sorry, I may not be able to do this." Eve turned her head, as if she had just recovered, "I was almost killed by her this morning, and I really don't want to touch her now."

A lame excuse, anyone could see it - but they couldn't figure out why Eve refused to help.

Irekin was silent for a moment, and then said: "I know it's really inappropriate to ask you to do this kind of thing, but time is a little tight now, and we can't help it."

"To pick up other people's clothes, I really can't do it." Eve shook her head, with a very embarrassed expression, "Why don't I ask others to help when I return to Schulenburg? Or find two people from the women in the castle?"

Erlogin and Ponsev looked at each other, both feeling a little helpless.

"Why don't you just ask me if you want to take it off yourself?" The girl behind Eve suddenly spoke, which startled her.There was a quilt wrapped around the girl's body, only her head was exposed, and she looked a little strange. I don't know if the Knights bound her in this way because they were afraid that she would freeze, or because they thought her outfit was not elegant.

"So you are willing to cooperate?" Olykin asked her.

"Yes, but you have to promise me one condition." The girl said.

"What conditions?"

"I have a cat in my bedroom. I'm afraid it will get lost. You have to bring it here."

"That's easy, where is your bedroom?"

"On the top floor of a blue-roofed tower in the west, there is a string of colorful flags floating in the window." When the girl spoke, she looked at Eve, "I have a lavender long dress with chickweed on it. The pattern is my favorite; there is also the light brown long coat, bring it for me as well; there are shoes, the shoes are in the cabinet under the bed, I want the pair of white long boots with high heels Don't take the wrong one..." The girl paused for a moment, then said, "Don't forget the underwear, just take whatever you like." Her tone was very serious, not like she was playing tricks.

"You want me to get it?" Eve asked her, pointing at herself.

"Otherwise, who else could it be?" the girl asked back, blinking her eyes.

Eve moved her lips, but she still couldn't refute.Besides Evetrona, she was the most beautiful person Eve had ever seen.

Eve's eyes turned to Olukin, but the other party nodded to her when their eyes met.

"I..." Eve was still thinking about how to find an excuse to push it away, but she heard Marco standing at the door shouting: "Let's go quickly, Eve, the two adults can't wait any longer!"
