Wizard of science

"What about Ms. Tina, what about your family's interests? I see your sincerity, but what can such a deal bring you? Don't tell me, your goal is a hundred high-level magic stones?" Li He asked .

"Your Excellency Li He was joking." Tina shook her head, "The goal of our family is naturally not to obtain a hundred high-level magic stones. In fact, our family does not intend to make any profit in this transaction. Poseidon has A powerful family with many official wizards, and in recent years, family members have been promoted to official wizards, and their power is constantly expanding, unlike some other wizard families that are gradually declining."

After hearing Tina's words, Taofani couldn't help but hum.

She knew very well that Tina meant something and was belittling her Vidro family. The Widlo family also has many official wizards, but in recent years, no family members have been promoted to official wizards. They are no longer as strong as before and are in the stage of conserving their strength. Therefore, formal wizards who can pull in and absorb new promotions are very eager.

Tina continued to tell, looking at Li He and said: "The Poseidon family hopes to have a good relationship with every official wizard and future official wizard. To this end, we are willing to give up all the profits from the first transaction, and are only willing to let you see us. If you are sincere, you can continue to communicate with us in the future.”

"That's not bad." Li He nodded lightly. It has to be said that the Poseidon wizard family behind Tina is more majestic than the Vidro wizard family behind Taofani.

"So, Your Excellency Li He, are you willing to trade with us?"

"Why not?" Li He said, "I will not refuse anyone who is willing to help me."

Taofoni next to her was a little anxious, but she couldn't persuade Li He directly. She just glared at Tina angrily and tried her best to say softly: "Mr. Li He, in fact, the contract with our family can be discussed again. The sincerity of our family is no weaker than that of other wizarding families. In fact, although some families have performed very well, it is hard to say what the situation is in the mainland. As far as I know, a certain wizarding family once suffered from a very rare The demonized items, and the wizards outside the family who were friends with suddenly turned against each other and started fighting..."

"There are some things you'd better explain clearly, Taofni." Tina snorted coldly.

"I didn't talk about your family, just a certain family. Please don't claim it yourself." Taofani said to Tina tit for tat.

Both of them frowned and started arguing.

While discreetly revealing their respective dark histories, they also tried hard to show that their family's conditions were superior.

Li He watched from the side with a cup of Kras tea and did not interrupt.

In fact, in the past few days, it was not just the Videro and Poseidon families who came to him. Many other families had tried to get in touch with him, and they all knew that he had won first place in the annual test. The name was won over later.

The funding and conditions proposed by each family are also different.

In this regard, he accepted all the ones that were interesting, useful, and had relatively loose conditions.

In fact, he doesn't value this kind of funding very much.

In the final analysis, in this wizarding world, one's own strength is the most important.

When you have enough strength and potential, you can naturally get some help from outside.

But only by continuously improving our strength can we maintain this help, otherwise it will go away as quickly as it comes.

In the end, it's all just icing on the cake.

Therefore, he did not stop the quarrel between Taofani and Tina, but just watched quietly, and even thought a little distracted, thinking of other things.

The funding from various wizard families is just a small episode. The annual test is over, and the subsequent changes brought about are the main story.

Whether it was his first-place reward or his disposal that ruined the annual testing area, there should be something to be said for it.

But after the teacher Gauss took him out of the Pale Forest, he asked a wizard named Lan Er to place him in this bluestone and wooden building, and he never looked for him again.

But it certainly won’t be treated so coldly.

In the next two days, there should be a showdown anyway, this is a big deal.

He didn't believe it. Gauss didn't want to explore how he ruined the annual test area.

And he also had many questions that he wanted to ask Gauss. For example, what exactly is the Pale Forest, and what is its relationship with the so-called Atlante? The Dark Heart Academy clearly has no inheritance of time and space spells, so why can it use the annual test area with the secrets of time and space? He is already a third-level wizard apprentice. If he wants to be promoted to a wizard, besides continuing to improve his spiritual power, what else needs to be done...

Thinking about it, Li He took a sip of the Kras tea in his hand.

The slightly viscous, jelly-like tea flows into your mouth and slides directly into the back of your throat very smoothly. After that, a sweet taste quickly spreads in your mouth. When you taste it carefully, it is a bit like ripe watermelon juice.

But it's a little too sweet, you could even call it cloying.

Li He couldn't help but want to put it down. At this time, through the window on the back wall, he saw a figure walking along the shore of Yuanjing Lake.

It was someone he knew - another student of teacher Gauss - Sean.

Seeing the other party approaching the wooden building, Li He raised his eyebrows and realized that the real big event was about to come.

At this time, Taofani and Tina in the room were arguing and getting a little tense.

Ginny and Mira, who followed Taofani, and Julie, who followed Tina, looked at each other more and more unkindly.

It seems that after a while, he may take action.

Li He picked up the silver spoon used to stir the Kras tea and tapped the tea cup three times at the right time, making a crisp sound and interrupting the quarrel.

Taofani and Tina both looked over.

Li He spoke up: "Two ladies, I'm very grateful to your family for being optimistic about me. As long as you are sincere, I am willing to make contact. However, I may not have time to discuss some details today. I have things to deal with. "

"Huh?" Tina looked over with a questioning expression.

Taofani was more direct and asked: "Mr. Li He, what is it? Do you need help from our family?"

Just as he asked, there was a knock on the back door.

"A more important thing." Li He walked towards the back door.

The knock on the door rang again, and a voice asked outside the door: "Tuk, duk, duk, is Li He here..."

Before the questioning outside the door could finish, Li He opened the door and saw Sean standing outside, looking at the entire bluestone and wooden building with some sigh.

When he noticed that Li He opened the door, he withdrew his gaze. He first clicked his tongue at Li He without concealing his envious gaze, and then his expression straightened slightly and he said: "Li He, Mr. Gauss..."

"Want to see me?" Li He said what Sean had not finished.

"Um..." Sean shrugged, "It seems you have guessed it. Yes, Teacher Gauss wants to see you as soon as possible."

"Okay." Li He nodded lightly, "Let me see off a few guests and go with you."

After Li He finished speaking, he first let Sean into the room and walked towards a cabinet against the wall of the room.

He walked to the cupboard, opened a wooden drawer, and took out a scroll from inside.

This is a handbook he has just completed recently. It records some research knowledge. It is not advanced, but very basic. It mainly explains some principles of synthetic rubies. In the second half, it implicitly proposes an important cornerstone of the development of modern science—— Atomism.

Of course, the attitude in his notes is conjecture, and he uses speculation to explain why rubies can be synthesized artificially.

This was a gift he specially prepared for his first meeting with Gauss after the annual test.

He believed that Gauss, who was obsessed with research, could see that the value of the contents of this scroll far exceeded the scroll of the synthetic ruby ​​process.

Considering that the other party might do something unfavorable to him because of the destruction of the test area, I specially prepared this gift to change the other party's decision and allow the other party to answer many of his doubts.

Holding the scroll in hand, Li He looked at Tina and Taofani, and politely sent each other off through the front door. Then he and Sean left through the back door and walked away.

…

Tina and Taofni were sent out from the front by Li He. They didn't go far before they snorted at each other and were about to separate and go their own ways.

At this time, a male apprentice with a baby face and wearing the Dark Heart Academy's standard robe approached. There were two silver lines on the man's chest, indicating that he was a second-level wizard apprentice.

Seeing Tina and Taofni, they quickly saluted and greeted them.

Tina waved her hand indifferently and ignored it. Taofani was in a bad mood and just glanced at it.

I thought that the male apprentice would leave in a sensible way, but I didn't expect that he would stand there and ask timidly: "Senior sisters, do you know about Senior Li He who won the first place in the annual test not long ago?" He said he lives in Do you know where you live near here? "

After hearing the question, Tina frowned at the male apprentice and said coldly: "I don't know." She took Julie and walked away.

Taofani had already taken several steps forward. After listening to the male apprentice's words, she stopped, blinked and turned around and asked, "Are you looking for Senior Li He? Ha, that's interesting. What are you looking for for him?"

"This..." The male apprentice hesitated.

Taofani narrowed her eyes: "When asking others for help, I think it is necessary to be sincere, otherwise how will I know whether you have good intentions or bad intentions?"

"It's a good intention, it's a good intention." The male apprentice said nervously, "Senior, don't get me wrong, I came to see Senior Li He because of the family's intention. The Norast family behind me wants to discuss something with Senior Li He. matter."

"Oh, that's it." Taofani's eyes curled up, as if she was smiling, but her lips pursed. After a few seconds, she said, "But what kind of family is the Norast family? Why have you never heard this? Did you say that?"

"Well, it's a small family. There once was a wizard, but he died later, so... the family is not very famous..." the male apprentice quickly explained.

"So, your Norast family doesn't even have an official wizard now?"

"Before...some..." There was a slight sweat on the male apprentice's face.

"If a family like yours wants to talk to Senior Li He about funding, I'm afraid it won't be agreed. After all, the family doesn't even have an official wizard. How can it have abundant resources? If there are many resources, it can't be defended, right? Taofani shook her head and denied.

The male apprentice's eyes flashed, he looked at Taofani and said, "So, senior, you know Senior Li He and know him well, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't know that he doesn't like my family, right?" "

"this……"

"Then, senior sister must know where senior Li He lives. Please tell me. Thank you very much!" The male apprentice bowed deeply.

"This..." Taofani was speechless and her expression was slightly stiff. To be honest, she didn't want to tell the other party where Li He lived. He felt that Li Hyuk would not agree to the other party's funding, but she couldn't tell what would actually happen. And if Li Heduo accepts a grant, the weight of their grant will be weakened by one point.

When I was a little confused, I heard a sudden voice next to me. I turned around and saw that it was Tina who had left before and returned at some point.

Tina looked at the male apprentice and said, "Senior Li He's address, right? Just keep walking along the Round Mirror Lake and you'll come across a wooden building with black exterior walls and no vegetation."

"Then...thank you, senior sister." The male apprentice said with some surprise, bowed deeply to Tina again, and left quickly.

When the male apprentice walked away, Taofani looked at Tina sideways, nodded her head lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, Tina, even I almost believed her with her lying expression."

"What, you think I did something wrong? Then you can catch up with that fool and tell him the truth, as long as you don't mind adding another competitor to your family." Tina still looked cold and snorted. .

"How is that possible? I'm not stupid." Taofani rolled her eyes. "It's just that I suddenly felt that maybe our two families could cooperate. Mr. Li He is so famous now that there are too many wizard families. I want to invest in him in advance, and the weight of our funding won’t be very heavy. How about we join forces to squeeze out the other families?”

"Your family can do this." Tina said coldly, "But my family will not do this, and will also tell Mr. Li He about your family's behavior."

"You!" Taofani stared, unable to react for a moment, and cursed, "You are crazy!"

"I'm not crazy, it's just that our family is more willing to consider the people we are friends with than your own interests. Excluding the other families and only allowing our two families to fund, do you think it is good for Mr. Li He? Good or bad? Do you think Mr. Li He will thank us or hold hatred towards us after he knows the truth?"

"But..." Taofani widened her eyes and looked at Tina and said, "But...it was you, a cold-faced woman, who deceived the male apprentice just now. It's obvious that you are excluding other families from sponsoring Li He, and you are also What do you mean by considering Li Hyuk?"

"That's just me helping Mr. Li He screen out unqualified sponsors. A family without a wizard will not have many resources if it sponsors. There may be a lot of troubles, and it is necessary to help Mr. Li He eliminate them. As for I will never do this to a powerful wizard family."

"Anyway... To the contrary, it's just you who is right."

"Because I am telling the truth. If you think there is a problem, you can tell Mr. Li He about it. I will never stop you." After leaving these words, Tina turned and left.

Taofani looked at her back and couldn't help but cursed several times in a low voice, and then angrily left with Mira and Gini.

…

the other side.

Under the leadership of Sean, Li He walked to a black stone tower on the edge of the Dark Heart Academy.
