"It's just a little joke, why are you so excited, Mr. Ringer?" Rorona pressed her finger on the edge of the tea cup, turning it intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes and tone were quite meaningful: "Or, in fact, you have already been in your heart for a long time.
You had similar expectations, so you panicked when I exposed them?"
This was an extremely malicious speculation, and Ringer did not bother to find a handkerchief to wipe the tea stains at the corner of his mouth. Instead, he straightened his face and clarified himself: "I didn't mean this, it's just that there have been too many similar jokes recently, which made me a little stressed.
"
"Are there many similar jokes? It seems that you are very popular with everyone, Mr. Ringer." Rorona couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of ridicule in her laughter: "Of course, I don't do this kind of thing.
I’ve known it for a long time, so there’s no need to emphasize it.”
Why do you think I have to emphasize it?
Lin Ge glanced at her warningly, but Her Royal Highness Princess Haiqi was very thick-skinned and did not mean to be shy or ashamed at all. Instead, she leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of the still hot black tea, feeling the sensation on her tongue.
The astringent taste actually made her feel nostalgic. After putting down the tea cup, she couldn't help but sigh: "It tastes a bit like the Grundig tree sap. It really reminds me of the home I haven't seen for a long time. Mr. Ringer, you said seven thousand meters
Can the high snow peaks produce the same flavor as the seabed 20,000 miles deep?"
"I have no idea."
The alchemy fairy next to him offered a handkerchief diligently, and Linge took it and wiped the corners of his mouth, then pointed out seriously: "First of all, the Lujian Sea is an inland sea, and its deepest sea cannot reach a depth of 20,000 miles; secondly, you leave home.
It’s less than half a year. Compared with the three years you stayed in Rotterdam, it’s too short to miss your hometown. Finally, I don’t think the taste of snow tea is similar to the Grundig tree sap, because not all
The bitter taste is the same, just like the difference between snow and sea water."
When he was a guest in Nereids City, it was not like the young man had never tasted the specialty drink of the Mirror Elf, and the taste was still fresh in his memory.
After listening to Ringer's rigorous, serious and merciless correction, Luo Lona stared at his face for a while, and then sighed helplessly after a long time: "Whenever I want to discuss poetry with you,
When the time comes, you start talking about philosophy. Don’t always be so incomprehensible about style, Ringer, it will make many girls sad.”
She removed the mocking honorific, and her tone suddenly became much more intimate, like two old friends talking.
Poetry or philosophy? Ringer thought of Chief Wilhelm's evaluation of himself. Sometimes he was like a sentimental poet, and sometimes he was like a self-tangled philosopher. Unfortunately, the young man thought he was a rational person. If he could
If so, he would rather be called a man of action.
With a few simple jokes, a cup of snow tea, and some simple desserts, Ringer only ate a piece of sweet gingerbread and turned a blind eye to the rest of the milk pudding, apple pie and cheese cake, all of which were eaten by the host.
He smiled and accepted it. The two alchemy fairies worked together. One flapping its copper teeth and clockwork wings, struggled to lift the teapot and tilt it slowly. The other one was responsible for adjusting the direction of the spout, calibrating the position, and ensuring that the hot air
The rising arc can accurately fill an empty tea cup.
While they were refilling the tea, the young man told the owner of the workshop why he was here: "I need your research information on the nature of the magic tide and the changes in the magic concentration in the mirror star world, Lorena,
This is very important to our surveying and mapping work.”
"oh?"
Rorona's eyes flickered: "You came to me to ask for something, not for alchemy items but for research information. Isn't it really strange? I still keep the information, but what does this have to do with your surveying and mapping work?
"
As a scientific researcher (so far), she has shown some interest in this aspect, but it is just an interest. After all, astronomy and astrology are not her strong points.
The young man briefly explained the meaning of the formulas and data in the sage's manuscript, focusing on the unique position of March's movement trajectory in this calculation system. Because the explanation was very easy to understand, even Luo, who was not sensitive to mathematics,
Lena, can also realize its importance.
"So it turns out that the disappearance of the blue moon and the red moon not only caused the imbalance of the magic power tide, but also left an unsolvable mystery for future generations. As a result, no one can find the path through stargazing like Saint Toumi.
The road to the Holy Temple of Heaven. I have to say, it is really an amazing coincidence." After listening, she smiled and sighed: "About every miracle in the history of civilization has its limitations and timeliness.
Right. If you don't understand the mysteries of history, you can only rely on chance to recreate it. Ringer, you are very lucky."
Finally, he teased the young man, but the latter did not refute. In this matter, he also felt that he was very lucky: he happened to contact the Wushan Monastery through the mountain tribe and successfully borrowed the Saint Tomi.
manuscript; it happened that St. Shalia had been baptized by an old wizard, was proficient in the astrology of the Moryas, and could decipher the biggest difficulties in the manuscript; it happened that the mirror elves had lived in the deep sea for a long time, and their astrologers did not rely on observing the sky, but
It relies on tidal changes to record the moon phases, and is not affected by the disappearance of March; more precisely, in order to find a way to purify magic pollution, Rorona conducted relevant research a long time ago, and those research data will
Become the most important reference data.
If one of the links is missing, this miracle cannot be replicated.
"You are so lucky to be envied. Maybe you are favored by your mother? Of course, I am referring to another mother."
"I'm just lucky in this matter."
Judging from Linger's expression, it was not that he resisted this statement, but that he really felt that he had not been favored by the goddess. Although he was a believer of the goddess, in terms of personal fortune, he did not seem to have a certain kind of fortune like the believers of other gods.
Almost superstitious piety. Lorena did not take this matter to heart, because it was also in line with her consistent understanding of young people.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Princess Haiqi stood up and was spinning around in mid-air. The alchemy fairies who were busy about something gave way and surrounded her to the three cabinets lined up in the corner.
Among these three cabinets, one holds the rare alchemy materials that Rorona took away from her private treasure house, and the other holds her failed works on the two long-term projects of magic pollution purification reagent and curse removal reagent.
The last one naturally stores the more important research materials.
Lorena opened the third cabinet and rummaged through it. The attentive Princess Haiqi had classified and labeled every research material she handled, with a level of detail no less than that of Professor Heinrich's secret study.
While she was rummaging around, she was humming an unknown tune and seemed to be in a good mood.
Lin Ge noticed it, but didn't ask any questions. He glanced around randomly and suddenly landed on the second cabinet. Through the transparent window glass, he saw rows of test tubes and medicines neatly arranged inside.
Colorful and complicated, from pure sea blue to sparkling gold, from mysterious purple to dull dark brown, it looked like an over-colored oil painting. His eyes flickered and he asked
: "It seems that you have done a lot of experiments recently."
"Ah, you mean those purification reagents?"
Rorona said without looking back: "Because I was not very busy and I had some new inspirations, I tried it a few times. Unfortunately, the experimental results were not very satisfactory."
If it is not ideal, it is a failure.
"Don't speak so bluntly, please save some face for me." Rorona pulled out a piece of information from a thick pile of documents, handed it to an alchemy fairy next to her, and then continued to rummage, while saying:
He continued: "Moreover, the failure of these experiments was not entirely due to the experimental product itself, but more due to insufficient samples and lack of valid experimental data, so... it was shelved, yes, it was shelved for the time being."
She nodded her head quite confidently, feeling proud that she had thought of such an appropriate adjective.
"Insufficient samples?" Ringer raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean?"
"It means that the water quality on Cloud Whale Sky Island is so good, and the magic environment is so balanced, that the experimental products I refined have lost the chance of practical application." Rorona took out another document and turned it over.
Kai looked at it for a few times, stuffed it back, and said: "I guess this is Iyetta's credit. She uses her royal power to maintain the balance of magic on the island, and the balance of the natural ecology is directly related to the balance of magic.
, therefore, the environment on the island is so good. Of course, this kind of artificially created balanced environment cannot be maintained for too long in the natural environment. Apart from anything else, just without the seasonal imbalance problem caused by winter, it is very difficult.
It can easily cause serious consequences."
She first spoke a lot of terms that Ringo didn't quite understand, and then raised her head and looked out the window. From this angle, she could vaguely glimpse the Osor Snow Mountains across the lush yew trees, sycamores and autumn chestnuts growing in the forest.
A majestic and holy shadow. The snow-capped mountains that have been frozen for many years tower into the clouds and are not stained by dust. In the fragmented silhouette of the sunlight, they seem to be surrounded by circles of white halo.
"It looks like ice cream." She suddenly said.
"What?" Ringer didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing. I mean, the snow in the Eastern Alps is very clean." Rorona said, "It's completely different from the sea in Nereids."
As she said that, she closed the cabinet and turned back to the workbench. All the documents she was looking for had been found. They were held up by two small alchemy fairies who followed behind her. Their shaky appearance made Lin
Ge was very worried that he would not be able to hold on any longer. He let go and let the white papers fly like snowflakes around the room.
It wasn't until two clockwork goblins landed in front of him that he finally let go of his hanging heart. The young man stretched out his hand to press the rough cover, and the title was written on it in timeless and elegant fonts: "About the Changes of the Magic Tide"
"Research on Regularity", with the time marked at the bottom: December 15, 1882, a winter three years ago.
At that time, the pollution phenomenon in Nereides, the city surrounding the sea, may not have been so obvious, but the Mirror Elf Princess, who landed on land for the first time, was already keenly aware that some changes were taking place. After in-depth research, she wrote
This report was written, but unfortunately, it was neither taken seriously by humans nor by the tribesmen, because at that time, the former were pursuing interests, while the latter were struggling to pursue survival.
The young man did not open the information, but raised his head and asked Rorona: "Is there any connection between the two?"
In Ringer's knowledge, she was the first person to connect snow-capped mountains and the sea.
"Maybe." Rorona's tone was ambiguous. It was more like talking to herself than an answer: "Snow and the sea are the most pure and flawless things in the world, but the more flawless they are, the more innocent they are.
The easier it is to get dusty. The sea of Nereides has been accumulated for a long time, and I don’t hope that one day the snow in the Eastern Alps will end up with the same fate. That would be a pity.”
This beautiful mountain range, which traverses the North Ashoka Mountain Belt, has left countless moving legends and poems. Its noble and sacred posture has been praised by people from generation to generation. If one day, even it is polluted, Ringer can't imagine that.
world.
For the people who have lived in the Northern Ashoka Mountains for generations, this is not only the loss of their living home, but perhaps also the loss of their spiritual home.
The young man stared at Rorona for a while, and then suddenly said: "You were still here at that time."
"Me?" Rorona blinked: "What does this have to do with me, Mr. Ringer?"
The honorific was restored again, and Ringer knew that every time this happened, it was the time when she started to act stupid.
He ignored it before, but today for some reason, he wanted to burst the fragile bubble: "Because only you can purify this kind of pollution, using that magical alchemy."
"Mr. Ringer really thinks highly of me. My purification reagents have not been successful so far. To say the least, even if they are successful, their scope of application is limited to magic pollution and ocean pollution, and they are not applicable to snow-capped mountains.
Pollution; to take a step back, so what if it can really be solved, I will definitely give priority to purifying the sea in Nereids, after all, that is my hometown, and the snow in the Eastern Alps Mountains
, what does it have to do with me?”
"You wouldn't do that."
"Don't speak in such a conclusive tone, Mr. Ringer, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future..."
"You just said it yourself."
"What?"
"Snow and the sea are the most pure and flawless things in the world." Ringer said word for word: "I don't think that anyone who can connect the two together will be selfish and only care about personal feelings.
Guy. She should also have a pure and flawless soul, right? Just like the snow in the Eastern Alps or the sea in the Nereides."
"..."
There was a moment of silence.
"Why don't you speak anymore, Rorona?" Linge looked at the girl opposite him suspiciously.
Her Royal Highness Princess Haiqi gently picked up the tea cup, took a sip, then made an expression as if she had been burned, her face turned red, and she stuck out her tongue: "This tea is so hot."
