Although for his peers, the mathematical knowledge Hathaway learned was already very advanced, in the eyes of Douglas and Fernando, this was really not a problem worth spending too much mental energy on, so Hathaway kept flipping through the books.
, kept pointing at one of the questions with her slender fingers without saying a word, and then waited for the standard, simple answer, and every time, she was not disappointed.
Knight teacher Sharp, who was eating grilled fish with honey and drinking strong wine, was gradually attracted by the situation here. He forgot to reminisce with old Green, frowned slightly, and looked at Douglas and Fernando carefully.
Perhaps because of a little excitement, Hathaway's face was slightly rosier than before. After a long time, she closed the book, lowered her head, and whispered: "Thank you."
Just when Fernando was about to laugh, Sharp suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up from the high chair, and said with a smile: "Old Green, I didn't expect that your guest here is not only a philosopher, but also a mathematician. I
He looks better than those palace teachers..."
He was speaking to Old Green, but his clear blue eyes were fixed on Douglas and Fernando.
Old Green picked up Sharp's drinking glass and put it into the sink to clean. At the same time, he muttered: "What's weird about this? Many guys who are good at mathematics and physics have some philosophical thinking."
"Yes, mathematics is the ultimate expression of philosophy." Douglas laughed along with Old Green's words.
Fernando curled his lips and turned his head to the side, as if he disdained talking to Sharp, a barbarian.
Sharp chuckled, no longer staring at Douglas and Fernando, but walked slowly to Hathaway's side, watching with a smile as she took small bites of the already cold honey grilled fish: "Hathaway, grilled fish here
How does it taste?"
"Not bad." Facing his knight teacher, Hathaway remained concise and to the point, refusing to say even half a word more.
"After tasting it, it's time for us to leave. You have to go back to enjoy dinner. I can't let them know that I took you to eat randomly." Sharp said with a smile.
Hathaway took off the white handkerchief hanging on the left side of her knight uniform, wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully, and then nodded lightly: "Yes."
"Hold your knight's sword and don't throw it away at will, but remember that you can't influence yourself for it. The life of a knight lies in his own creed, his own spirit, and his own will, not the sword in his hand." Sharp finally said:
What happened before taught Hathaway two things.
Hathaway picked up the giant sword that was taller than herself and frowned slightly, as if she still didn't agree with this statement. However, she did not refute it directly. She just followed Sharp to the hotel door with a slight contemplation and staggered.
Just as she stepped out of the door, she suddenly turned her head, still expressionless, but the indifference in her silver-gray eyes seemed to soften a little. Then, she nodded slightly to Douglas and Fernando, as if to thank them again for their work in mathematics and physics.
Guidance on issues.
After they left, Fernando spoke with a half-smile and a half-humor: "With silver-gray pupils and indifferent eyes, she is a descendant of the Hoffenberg family, right? What is her relationship with the 'Sword of Truth'?"
He looked at Old Green from the corner of his eye, waiting for his answer.
"The Sword of Truth" is the title of King Wilhelm Hoffenberg of Holm. He is a legend more powerful than the "Heart of Time" Ctonia. He was the first to follow the "Cult of Truth" to resist the rule of the Magic Empire.
knight, so the "God of Truth" specifically sent down divine grace and "gifted" him an epic sword consistent with his bloodline, which was also named the "Sword of Truth."
"You don't need to know." Old Green replied without raising his eyes.
Fernando snorted: "This kind of thing is easy to investigate. Not everyone thinks it is a secret like you, an old guy waiting to die."
Old Green turned a deaf ear to his sarcasm and concentrated on wiping the wine glass in his hand.
…………
Early the next morning, Fernando knocked on Douglas's door because after he woke up, he found that he had a new idea about a certain magic issue, so he came over excitedly to communicate.
"I admit that my opinion yesterday was a little wrong..." Fernando said sincerely as soon as the door opened, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words because Douglas was not the only one in the room. "Vice President, what are you doing?"
here we go again?"
Sitting on the armchair in front of the desk was Vice President Rigg who was "roared" away by him a few days ago!
"Can't I come?" Rige touched his aquiline nose and said in a gloomy tone.
Fernando let out a laugh, and was about to speak sarcastically about Rigg's face, but was interrupted by Douglas: "President Rigg is here to give me a task."
"Task? What task do you, the Nine Ring Archmage, need to do? Study Arlinge?" Fernando's expression began to become serious.
Douglas smiled peacefully and said: "Let me find a way to become Hathaway's math teacher, privately, and test her magic talent by the way. If possible, guide her on the path of magic."
"She has a high status in the Hoffenberg family?" Fernando's first reaction was this. He had no doubts about the union's action plan to win over the nobles.
"Her father is the youngest and most beloved child of the 'Sword of Truth'. His name is Ludwig. He is also the knight who has placed hope on the second legendary strongman of the Hoffenberg family. Unfortunately, he died unexpectedly at a certain ruins.
, so, the 'Sword of Truth' transferred his feelings towards his only daughter Hathaway, and loved her very much, and did not dislike her lack of knight talent at all." Rigg introduced the general situation in a smooth voice. After all, Fernando
Yesterday I also participated in "teaching" Hathaway.
Fernando curled his lips: "Why don't you let me go? I think I will be a very good teacher."
He was just talking casually, he was still very young relative to his rank and he had no idea of teaching students yet.
"You? Haha." Rigg replied without a smile.
Douglas also shook his head slightly, as if he also felt that the irritable and arrogant Fernando could not be a good teacher.
Fernando snorted, expressed strong dissatisfaction with their attitude, and struck: "Sharp is probably the golden knight, be careful if his identity is discovered, it will bring serious consequences of the destruction of the entire union, and, 'The Truth
Jian' is a very, very devout believer. Even if he can really tempt Hathaway to embark on the path of magic, I doubt he will support us secretly, but will directly kill Hathaway. He has always been very decisive."
"There has always been a contradiction between a devout believer and a qualified king. I noticed that the 'Sword of Truth' is becoming more and more like the latter." Rigg said meaningfully, then stood up and walked out the door.
Fernando was stunned for a moment, and after he passed him, he said firmly: "It's not that stupid..."
…………
The top-notch breakfast at the "Grilled Fish Hotel" is a piece of white bread, a lump of butter and a grilled fish. Fernando muttered "Why is it here again" while eating it. For him who has not performed any life extension ceremony,
He said his appetite was as strong as ever.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls of food, Fernando struggled to separate himself and asked vaguely: "How do you plan to become Hathaway's private math and science teacher? Since her status is so important, I don't think 'Blue Demon' Sharp will
Leave her alone with a stranger and let you guide her down the path of magic."
He has figured out Sharp's identity, the deputy leader of the "Sword of Truth" Knights, the ninth-level golden knight "Blue Gift", and among magicians, this title has been replaced by "Blue Demon", which shows that he has been
How many mages have been killed!
"I have to find a chance to see Hathaway again." Douglas swallowed the food gracefully before smiling and said, "I don't know how she gets along with Sharp yet, so I can't make a plan in advance."
Fernando took a sip of ale and said, "Isn't that reckless..."
At this time, someone knocked softly on the door of the half-closed small hotel. Then, Hathaway, who had changed into a little princess costume, walked in holding a book with a light blue cover. She still had straight bangs and shawl hair.
Behind her, Sharp, who had a protruding nose, put his hands behind his back and followed with a half-smile.
With a kick and a glare, Hathaway ran lightly to Douglas and Fernando's "dining table".
"Same hands and same feet..." Fernando was still so tongue-tied.
This made Hathaway subconsciously slow down her pace, slowly walked to the two of them, spread the book on an empty space on the table, and turned to a page that had been folded long ago.
She poked at one of the questions with her slender fingers, raised her palm-sized face slightly, and looked steadily at Douglas and Fernando with a pair of indifferent silver-gray eyes, without saying a word.
"This question..." Fernando spoke first, and at the same time secretly glanced at Douglas. Look, you don't have to find a way to see Hathaway again, she just came to your door!
Sharp walked up to Old Green casually, sat on the high chair, ordered a glass of strong wine, and drank while watching the three people's "teaching".
This morning, Douglas and Fernando tried their best to answer Hathaway's questions. She was no longer limited to the original topic, but continued to delve deeper during the explanation process, asking questions that did not exist in the book. Of course,
, this is not difficult for Douglas and Fernando.
When it was almost noon, Hathaway put away her books, papers, quills and ink bottles, bowed her legs seriously, and thanked her in a cool and gentle voice, as if she were facing a real teacher.
"I will stay here for another month. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. It's rare to see a child who loves mathematics and science so much." Douglas deliberately said before leaving.
Hathaway nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
Sharp laughed and said, "Why don't you just become Hathaway's tutor? I think this will be better than any previous job you had."
He didn't wait for Douglas's answer, and turned around and left as if he had just made a joke.
After watching them go away, Fernando sneered: "Things are easier than expected. She really loves mathematics and science!"
Douglas looked thoughtfully at the corner where Sharp and Hathaway disappeared, ignoring Fernando's question.
Then, the two returned to the room to continue their communication and study. Except for lunch and dinner, they never stepped out of the room again.
It wasn't until late at night that Fernando said goodbye and left. Douglas rubbed his forehead a little tiredly and looked at the starry sky outside the window. Even though he was an archmage, such high-intensity thinking and communication made him feel like it was too much.
"Tomorrow looks like it will be sunny again..." Douglas whispered as the night was like a curtain and dotted with stars.
Suddenly, all the stars were covered with a layer of blue color, hazy, like the reflection on the sea. Then, the sound of rushing tide came from the sky, the sea tilted upside down, and the water curtain fell from the sky!
Douglas reacted very quickly, and a huge translucent palm suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the tide. Then, circles of silver lightning shot up from his body, pouring into the rushing "
"in the sea".
At the same time, Douglas' figure disappeared.
Suddenly, the blue water faded away like an illusion, and Sharp's half-smiling voice came from all directions:
"He is indeed a magician..." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
