Zhu Yiwei looked at Polu frowning and chewing hard black bread hard - this was already his habitual action when eating bread, as if what was in his mouth was just a necessity for life-sustaining activities.
Just elements.
In fact, this is also true.
Bolu picked up the cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He drank the bread in his mouth and sighed: "Isn't your bread too dry? It's not as good as the multi-grain steamed buns on Ta Island.
Woolen cloth."
"That multigrain steamed bun of yours that always turns into a cake may not be soft anymore! Can you please play with your yeast? It's sometimes good and sometimes bad, which is quite annoying!"
Zhu Yiwei pointed this out bluntly.
"That's better than this rusk that's been sharpened to saw wood!"
Zhu Yiwei really had no way to refute this, so she had to think of a way to save it: "How about some more oatmeal? Soak the bread to make it a little softer."
"No, no, no."
Bolu glanced at the plate of porridge that was full of carbohydrates and had zero fat, and quickly waved his hand to reject it. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Normally you can't eat meat, right? At least there are so many fish in the sea, why can you always eat them?
So restrained?"
"Marine fish may carry some strange energy that we don't know where to absorb. It's hard to tell. It may be absorbed when eaten, causing subtle effects on us. Ordinary people may not feel there is a problem, even when casting spells.
It’s okay. But in an experimental process that requires high precision, any interference is intolerable.”
The look on Boru's face seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?"
But he didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and stirred the light oatmeal with a spoon, and whispered something in a low voice:
"It's so miserable. This kind of food is just for survival. Forget it, let's have another drink."
He picked up the pot on the side and poured a stream of black liquid into the cup.
The black drinkable liquid may not only be cola, but also coffee. But without sugar, this black drink tastes like hot mud. However, this is the only drink provided by Xingdao that is suitable for eating.
.As for things like milk, it spoils before it can be delivered from the place of origin to the port - transportation is inconvenient and the delivery speed is extremely slow. Moreover, it is impossible for farmers to go to the countryside to the place of origin to provide a full cold chain.
Another drink that is not suitable with meals is the green bitter tea that bubbles like poison. Even if you haven't slept for three days, as long as your taste buds come into contact with this kind of thing, you will immediately tremble and feel dizzy.
Completely refreshing. Just one taste and the bitter taste in your mouth can ensure that a person will be energetic all day long.
Bolu had boldly tried it before, but even after being tempered by the Spirit Infusion Rod, this thing was insensitive - compared with this, even the black mud became much smoother.
"Can't you all be more attentive and improve your living conditions? Don't you feel uncomfortable eating this every day?"
"Actually, I feel quite uncomfortable." At this point, she pursed her lips: "But the great mages all eat this way. They say that it can develop unshakable mental control. It has a great effect on improving willpower.
The benefits. It can improve the chance of survival in fierce battles."
"It's a good exercise in willpower."
Polu shrugged.
"I live like an ascetic monk. If I don't have a strong willpower, who dares to say that I am strong? Anyway, I will practice for a while and then leave."
After the gossip, it's time to get down to work: "Continuing with our morning question? So how does this golem core cross the gap between the soul and the physical body and allow these limbs to be controlled?"
"Didn't I tell you that force fields are all controlled by force fields?"
"I want to know how to control force as precisely as the human body."
"..."
Zhu Yiwei didn't know the answer to this question. She was just a girl who had just embarked on the journey of magic. Even though she was praised and valued unanimously because of her talent and hard work, her understanding of magic had not touched her.
To the essence of magic and magic patterns - still in the stage of learning and application.
As for the high-level technology of golem, she had only heard a few one-line descriptions in class.
So in the face of Polu's endless and even aggressive questions, she often had to deal with them vaguely. As Polu's questions became more and more, it became harder and harder to answer, and she felt an uncontrollable irritation.
emerged in her mind.
"Why don't you ask your teacher this kind of question? Why do you ask me?"
After saying this, she regretted: This child-like tone is really not what a mature mage should say. This anger is not actually directed at Bolu, but more like a feeling that he doesn't understand himself.
The annoyance of this knowledge.
Just as she was about to think of ways to make up for the past, Polu started asking again. She could not help but breathe a sigh of relief as the awkward silence was avoided.
"The teacher said that the formation method of the golem we have is not consistent with that of Star Island. He was also very surprised by the method you used to form the body of the golem."
"In what way?"
"It's similar to the way real people's joints are. It's said to be a golem, but it's actually more like a constructed armored creature. We don't understand this technology at all. Rather than saying that we are repairing it, it is better to say that I am trying to figure out how to understand these demons.
The principle of the image. If it doesn’t work, we can only wait for the teacher to figure it out and come back to tell us.”
He turned back and looked at the gate of the stone castle: "Teacher has been discussing with them for almost two days, why haven't you come back yet?"
Zhu Yiwei tilted her head, thought for a moment, and answered his question with her own reasonable speculation:
"After all, I heard that the oldest golems contain the souls of enslaved elemental creatures. They don't have joints in the human sense, so there are all kinds of golems. For example, stone golems, from
After being excavated from the complete granite and baptized by the potion, the sealed earth elemental creature can naturally control its new body smoothly. However, since summoning spells were banned, this type of golem has completely become a legend."
"And our golems are for use by our former comrades. They were humans when they were alive, so naturally we have to create golems that suit their habits."
"So how do humans control golems to move? Do they have senses? Can they see, hear, touch, and how do they sense the feedback of power? What energy do they use? How is energy converted into
Mechanically?"
Zhu Yiwei really didn't know the answers to these questions - her self-esteem and mage's habits prevented her from answering casually, so she had to stand up and said softly: "I, I have something to do in the afternoon, I will go first
I'll go somewhere else and ask you a question."
She hurriedly walked out of the stone castle and walked towards Hendrick's mage tower, leaving Boru in a daze at the dinner table.
As soon as he stepped into Hendrick's laboratory, he heard the sound of metal friction. Landau was pointing at a half-human-sized metal golem, which was walking with a strange and crooked pace in the center of the laboratory. She
She walked close to the wall and walked to the teacher who was looking at her, looking at the walking demon curiously.
"Which demon is this? I feel like I've never seen him before."
"Of course you haven't seen it before. This was just made."
"It was just made...ah?"
"Well, I just made it."
Landau's gentle voice sounded, and he waved his hand, making the golem stop.
"It's quite confusing just listening to it. It's a bit difficult to understand the principle here. I'll build one and practice it."
"That……"
"I basically understand it now. Hendrick, then I'll go to the control room first, and the results should be better if I study the samples."
After Landau left, Zhu Yiwei said to Hendrick:
"Teacher, I also want to learn."
Perhaps because he saw the hope of repair, Hendrick seemed to be in a good mood and answered with a smile:
"Golem? You haven't reached this stage yet. Now you can't even make that little golem, right?"
"It's one thing not being able to do it. I just want to know more about the golem."
"Why do you understand it now if you can't do it? It's better to practice more, meditate more, and gain more insights."
"But I want to know. All these questions are on my mind right now, and I can't sleep well if I can't eat well."
"Tell me what you want, and I'll tell you what I can answer now."
So Zhu Yiwei told Hendrick the questions raised by Polu.
Hendrick touched his chin and felt something was wrong. As soon as he thought about it, he discovered the problem: "Did you come up with these questions yourself?"
"No, it's a question Bolu asked me."
"I knew it. Landau asked me the same question."
"What's the answer?"
"I can't give you an answer like this. An explanation that Landau can understand. Are you sure you can understand it?"
Zhu Yiwei lowered her head.
"However... if you promise to just understand it and not try to make it yourself in advance, I can sign a book list for you and a pass to inquire about this knowledge. But I have a condition."
He paused:
"This time next year, I will become a high-level mage."
…
Soon, Zhu Yiwei, with an aura of success or failure, held a book list and walked towards the library. When she came out of the library, there were a lot of people almost as tall as her floating behind her.
books.
By the way, she went to the food store again, got enough brown bread, oats and water, and walked towards her residence.
Her seemingly heavy steps stopped at the door of a magic props store. She raised her head and looked at the sign on the head of the store. After hesitating for a while, she walked into the luxuriously decorated door - the potions here are expensive.
, she would absolutely be reluctant to come in on weekdays.
Star Island adopts a rationing system for basic daily necessities, otherwise the apprentices who have just arrived on the island will not be able to survive. However, things like potions need to be sold.
She lowered her head, walked to the counter, gritted her teeth, and pointed to the green bottle on the shelf.
"Little girl, you have courage. You are just old enough, right? Are you preparing for promotion?"
The pharmacy owner noticed the pile of books floating behind her and looked at her with encouraging eyes. She had no choice but to respond - it was the truth anyway: "I will definitely be promoted to a high-level rank next year!"
"Okay! If you are ambitious! Then I will also buy one and get one free today! Take care of my business in the future!"
The shop owner didn't notice that her expression was as bitter as if she had drank the entire bottle of medicine in one go.
