The castle courtyard was lively today, with Fanny continuing to practice maneuvering, Mapel doing her regular training, and even Lilika present.After a long period of contact, Fanny finally saw Owen's personality, so she was relieved to bring her sister over.With Lilica present, she practiced even more energetically, as if she wanted to show off her magic to her sister.However, Lilica is not bothered to watch her sister's magic practice now, but is receiving basic literacy education.After all, everyone brought it over, and she had to find something meaningful to do, and this task was taken care of by Ryan, the housekeeper who likes children.Ryan is particularly interested in this matter, and has prepared a lot of small desserts, as long as he passes the daily literacy test, he can get dessert rewards.In order to be able to eat dessert, Lilika also fought hard.In addition to the above people, Owen also practiced magic.Fireball!
With just a movement of his mind, Owen was able to cast it smoothly, and a flame the size of an apple appeared above his palm, and the yellow outer flame was beating happily.This is the most basic magic, and he has mastered it long before entering the magic academy, and can almost reflexively drive the magic to perform this magic without chanting.Chanting spells is meant to speed up the process of mana transformation, so if you are very familiar with a simple spell, you don't need to chant.For more complex spells, you still need to chant spells, otherwise it will take a long time to cast and will easily fail.Of course, Owen wasn't here to practice a familiar magic.Previously, he had discussed with Winster the feasibility of revamping the Fireball Technique, which, if successful, would be of great help to the next phase of the work.It's very easy to move the fireball from the top of your palm to the top of your index finger.Next came the point, Owen focused, mana covering the fireball, compressing it towards the center.The beating outer flame retracted, and the flame turned into an almost perfect sphere.As the size gradually shrank, he could feel the flames resisting, and it seemed that he didn't want to be crushed together.When the fireball compressed to the size of an egg, a little sweat was already breaking out on Owen's forehead, the flames inside were fiercely resisting, and the magic power responsible for compression also fluctuated.This is not good, he stabilized his mind and strengthened the stability of his magic power, which made the fluctuations gradually stabilize.The volume was further compressed, and soon the fireball was compressed to the size of a small cherry.Seeing this, Owen showed a relieved smile, he had failed so many times, and finally found the trick to compress successfully.Although it is not the final desired result, compressing the fireball is the most important and difficult step.As long as the compression is successful, it means that this fireball transformation is feasible.In the last step, a small opening was made in the top of the compressed fireball, and with a pop, a bright, whitish and very hot flame erupted from it, about twenty centimeters long.Pulling his hand away a little, Owen quietly observed the flame.Confirming that the flames formed were very stable, he clenched his other fist in satisfaction, and that was the result he wanted.If you increase the amount of mana output slightly, the flame will turn blue and the temperature will be higher.Such a movement naturally attracted the attention of Fanny and Marpel, and the two gathered around."
What are you doing here, Lord Marquis?"
Fanny asked.Fearing that the flames would hurt them, Owen took the magic back and explained, "Transform the fireball technique into a high-temperature flame." ”"I saw you performing the fireball spell before, but I didn't expect it to end up like that, it can almost be said to be a new magic."
During training, Marpel would take a look at what Owen was doing from time to time.This is not voyeurism, but the knight should always keep an eye on the safety of the lord, she convinced herself in her heart."
But what's the use?"
Fanny couldn't figure it out, "As a means of attack, its attack range is too short, so it's better to throw the fireball directly." ”"I didn't say it was attack magic.""
Huh?
So what are you doing with fireballs?
”Fanny asked."
Welding."
Hearing this unfamiliar word, Fanny and Mapel both looked confused and puzzled.It's no wonder that for now, people use bolts or willow joints to connect objects, and welding has not yet appeared.Owen also heard and learned about this technique from Winster.Seeing the confused looks of the two, Owen couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll take you to the blacksmith later, and I will personally demonstrate to you what welding is." ”At this moment, a prompt popped up below Owen's field of vision, and it was Winster who came to contact.It just so happened that he wanted to call Winster.Slightly away from the two Marpels, Owen connects with Winster.
[I haven't been in touch for a while, and I have some results in my research on magic stones, and I want to tell you about it. 】As soon as he came up, Winster couldn't wait to report on the results.
[Wait a minute, the transformation fireball technique we talked about earlier is feasible, and I have successfully used the high-temperature flame. 】Owen interrupted.
[Oh?
How's the work at the blacksmith's shop?
】Winster asked.
[I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for my magic.] 】When the previous system upgrade was completed, Winster originally wanted to talk to Owen about the steam engine, but then he got the magic stone and immediately put it into research, but forgot about it, and only remembered it after Owen's inquiry.Considering the possibilities offered by magic, he provided specially designed drawings of a steam engine with double linkages, spool valves, etc.Fully considering the technical level of Owen's side, the technical content is not too high, lest the blacksmith look at the drawings but can't make the parts he needs, which will be embarrassing.That being said, to create such a steam engine, you had to resort to the power of magic.The blacksmith made small parts that needed to be spliced together into large parts to assemble a steam engine, which needed to be welded to complete.That's why Owen wanted to transform the fireball technique.
[What's still grinding here?
I want to witness with my own eyes a moment in the history of your world. 】Winster urged excitedly.
[Don't worry, I'm ready to go over.] 】Once ready for the trip, Owen left the castle with Fanny and Marpel and headed to the blacksmith's shop.In the courtyard, Lilika is taking a literacy test.Staring at Ryan's writing on the stone slab, her face was full of sadness.What does this word mean?
Yes!
No, I can't remember.That's right!
You can ask your sister for help.In the previous test, as long as Lilica encountered a word that she didn't know, she would cast a plea at her sister for help.Then, my sister would deliberately walk behind Lilica and say a word, and the word tested would be deliberately pronounced.Relying on this trick, Lilica was able to pass every test steadily, and finally ate dessert.And Ryan hasn't found out yet, it's really tried.Quietly looking in the direction where her sister usually practices magic, Lilica was shocked, her sister was not there!
Seeing that Lilica was looking away, Ryan opened his mouth to remind, "What's wrong?"
The slate is here, how do you pronounce this word?
Remembered?
”When she was discovered, Lilica was so frightened that she quickly turned around, but the expression on her face became more and more bitter.Yes!!
Where did my sister go?
You may not be able to eat dessert today!
Woowoo......
In response, Ryan reached out and stroked his beard, sensing something wrong from Lilika's actions just now.
