Magus Tech

In the afternoon, the Blue Lion City Palace.

The sound of a horseshoe sounded, and Richard took the guard captain and his party and returned to his residence.

The first thing that appeared in the field of vision was a huge square with a radius of nearly 100 meters. It was made of large smooth stones and was clean and spotless.On the side of the square, there are dozens of steps rising one after another, and above the steps is a huge palace.

Richard got on and off the square. The captain of the guard clearly commanded the soldiers. He removed the dead python and sent it to the palace. Richard followed.Before a few steps, a voice rang behind him, followed by a swift footsteps—one man was catching up.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness..."

When Richard turned his head, he saw that a young man in his twenties was chasing behind him. His body was extremely gorgeous, with gold rims embroidered on the sleeves and cumbersome patterns on his collar.Huang Cancan's hair shone like gold, and a face full of goodwill seemed to resolve all malice.

The opponent is Richard's personal guard captain, who is responsible for leading the entire personal guard to protect Richard's safety.The name is Edward Angel, and his status is unusual. He is the son of an earl, which means that the other party is a noble.The reason why Li Cha is willing to be the captain of the guard is not that the opponent's family is down, but that the opponent's family is loyal to the royal family in order to establish a good relationship with the royal family.

This is a very common behavior of nobles in the Middle Ages. In a sense, this is a kind of hostage behavior, but if it is operated properly, it may not be able to get huge benefits.For example, if Richard becomes the next generation king, then Edward and his family as captains of the guard will naturally receive special treatment. It may not be the count but the marquis.

Edward himself clearly understood this too, and he used all his heart to serve Richard on weekdays.But it may also be that the other party's mind is put on this, its own strength is very bad, only a few tricks of court swordsmanship, the performance is okay, and the battle is not as good as a soldier.

Because of this, Richard went to the dungeon and caught the python this time, without notifying the other party, but not knowing where the other party heard the news...

Richard was thinking that Edward, the captain of the escort, had already caught up and stopped a step away from Richard. He gasped slightly: "His Royal Highness, I heard that you went to the dungeon this morning? I took the dungeon again at noon. People go outside the city, what catches the python?"

"Huh." Li Cha should step forward and step forward.

Upon hearing Richard’s confirmation, Edward was immediately anxious and said, "His Royal Highness, I am your captain of the guard, but the guard is your most loyal man. You leave us alone to find the dungeon, to catch what python , What if someone is bad for you? In case you are injured, our entire Guards will commit suicide, and there is no way to cleanse the blame."

Richard glanced at Edward and did not feel that the other party was telling the truth, but he was too lazy to delve into it and said a little: "Edward, if your sword skills can be more powerful, then I will consider bringing yours next time. . Besides, who dares to do anything against me in the whole kingdom?"

Edward's eyes flickered, and he approached Richard. He whispered, "His prince, you must be careful. The great prince has always been unfriendly to you, and now His Majesty the King is sick again, just in case...in case... …"

"Not in case." Richard shook his head and sneered. "The king is not dead yet, so my dear brother, William Austin, has not dared to fight me."

"but……"

What else did Edward want to say? Richard waved his hand and ignored it, and walked to the end of the square.Crossing twelve marble pillars with thick and thin arms and walking into the hall of the palace, Edward had to hurry to keep up.

The entire hall has an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, which is logically very wide.But in fact, it is very crowded at this time.There are dozens of tables on the ground of the hall. Various instruments are placed on the table. A maid in front of each table is busy, fat or thin, tall or short, black or white, and nervously operating. instrument.

On a table near the door, there is a whole set of simple distillation equipment. The core is a pot that is being heated in boiling water. The mouth of the pot is sealed, only a leather tube leads to the outside, and finally a strange shape. Iron pipe connection.

The iron tube was soaked in water in the middle, one end was high and the other was low, the high end was connected to the leather tube, and the lower one was connected to a glass funnel like a horn, facing a porcelain bottle dripping colorless liquid .

"Fluffy", because there are some problems in the connection of the device, white mist is constantly sprayed out, the surrounding air emits a slightly pungent wine smell, and the speed of dripping liquid into the end porcelain bottle is also getting slower and slower.

"Tick Tick, Tick Tick, Tick-Answer -"

A maid with a pony tail looked at the device in front with some helplessness, eyes wide, not knowing how to start.

Richard frowned, and as he approached, the maid maid immediately seemed to be electrocuted, and his body stiffened: "King...His Royal Highness..."

"I asked you to distill high-concentration alcohol, how is it doing?"

"I...I..." The maid maid's voice trembled a little, but in order to avoid being scolded, she replied stubbornly: "What you do...you can do it...bar..."

"Alright?" Li Cha said with a blank expression, pointing at the pungent white fog that was constantly touching the device connection, and asked, "Is this what you said is okay? I want you to make it airtight? Alcohol vapors are all Missed, how to collect high concentration alcohol solution?"

"I……"

Richard reached into the basin with the iron pipe and felt the temperature and said: "How long hasn't the water been changed? The water is hot, do you think it can play a role in condensation? Do you think This allows high-temperature alcohol vapor to turn into droplets in the cold, and then collected into the bottle by the horn tube? I remember I just told you and the rest of you the distillation points yesterday, why did you make this now Looks?"

"His Royal Highness, I...I..." The maid wearing a ponytail trembles with a crying voice in his voice, "His Royal Highness, I was wrong... I am too stupid to remember. King... His Royal Highness , Please give me another chance, I... I must..."

"Forget it, don't use it," Li Cha said lightly. "I said before, the maid in my palace can make any mistakes, even killing people. But one thing must be done, that is, to listen after I explain. Understand what I said, and then execute it.

You don’t understand and forget, it’s not that you’re stupid, but that your learning ability is too poor, and the one I don’t need most is a person with poor learning ability.Because I don't have so much time and energy to carry out science popularization, I don't have so much time and energy to train everyone to become a junior high school student with scientific cultivation beyond the limits of the times.

So, from now on, you are no longer a person in the palace. In the afternoon, pick up your own things and leave, don't let me say it a second time."

As Richard said, the beautiful maid with ponytails shivered and pale.Once she was kicked out of the palace, it would mean that she would never find a place where she could earn five silver coins a month. Her poor family could not sustain it at all, which was undoubtedly a disaster for her.

The maid with pony tail couldn't help but screamed: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness! Please, please give me another chance, I... My father owes a lot of money to others, if I leave here, there is no money Pay him debts, he will be beaten to death, please."

Richard didn't seem to hear it, he walked toward the depths of the palace, and the maid's maid's face became desperate.

Edward, the captain of the guard behind Richard, saw the ponytail maid’s cheeks, and the rest of the busy maid in the hall, his eyes flashing.

Hurry up a few steps and catch up with Richard: "His Royal Highness, I think the maid called Eve was actually good, but the time may be too short, and some are not familiar, so she didn't do well. Her family It was so difficult inside, otherwise she would be left for a few days, in case she would work harder..."

Richard stopped and looked at Edward with a calm gaze.

Edward was shocked, showing some fearful expression, "His Royal Highness, I...I..."

"I know what you are thinking." Richard said, "But I must tell you Edward: I can tolerate a person's ugly face, poor quality, and corrupt behavior, as long as she can complete the task she has delivered. Instead, one If a person has insufficient IQ, low ability, and poor learning ability, then she can't bear it even if she is beautiful. Because in the field of science, there are only numbers, not face values.

In a word, I am very busy. Since coming to this world, I have been very busy for more than ten years. I am busy learning some unusual things, such as spells, and trying to answer a question.Therefore, everything that affects me is an obstacle, and I will never endure it.If you pity that girl, yes, yes, she can stay, but the premise is that you have to help her get things done, that's it."

"I..." Edward lowered his head and his expression changed quickly. After a moment, he lowered his head and said, "I know, His Royal Highness," and turned to the ponytail maid.

The ponytail maid looked at Edward as she approached, her eyes flashing, and a whispered whisper: "Master, look at me..."

Edward didn't speak and continued to approach. The girl showed a puzzled expression and subconsciously stepped back. Edward suddenly stretched out his hand.

"Ah!" the maid yelled, and her ponytail was caught by Edward.

Edward was very ruthless, and the girl's tears came out of the pain.Regardless of Edward's disregard, he dragged the maid's hair and strode out of the palace. Then he dragged the maid down to the ground with a strong voice. Before appearing again under the prince's palace, otherwise be careful of your life!"

"I..." The maid stood up in horror. Edward had thrown his sleeves away and turned back into the palace again, chasing him with a smile on his face.

"His prince, I have handled the pig-maid's maid. I will ask someone to replace her with a smarter and more obedient person in the afternoon. Do you think it will work?"

"Anything you want." Li Cha said, undecided.

"Actually... Your prince, I think some of your things can be commanded, there will be many people who can help you do it without you doing everything. After all, you are your prince, you should do something more important. That's right." Edward used a circumspect tone.

"such as?"

"For example...cough, see your prince, Your Majesty the King has always been in poor health. This time, I can’t stay in bed, and I don’t know if it can be safe. In case of some unforeseen circumstances, the Grand Prince will succeed, and some things will inevitably be against you. Yes, it's better to prepare early.

You might as well contact some nobles and fight for their support. In this way, you can at least ensure that your own interests are not violated, and then you will get a satisfactory territory and a satisfactory grand title."

After swallowing, watching Richard have no big reaction, Edward continued: "In comparison, I think your prince is looking for all kinds of weird things and doing various researches related to wizards. It’s too necessary. It’s okay to be a pastime, but it’s really irrational to invest all your energy...”

"Oh." Li Cha chuckled, "Do you mean to get me involved in crown prince politics?"

"Uh, this..."

"Edward, I ask you, do you think that the crown prince's politics is important to me, or that wizards and magic are important to me?"

"I think it's better that the crown prince's politics is more important to your Highness." Edward said seriously.

Richard, however, shook his head slightly, stepped forward, pushed open a red wooden door, and walked in.

Edward's expression was slightly stiff, and he stopped in front of the door. He knew that inside the door was Richard's independent laboratory, which was usually used when Richard conducted some special research himself. At this time, Richard hated others disturbing.

With a sigh, he stopped outside and looked at the wooden door in front of him. Edward couldn't help but said to himself: "His Royal Highness, you always have to listen to what I said, otherwise... It’s difficult for me to do. My family has put half of the hope of the rise on you, and now the king is seriously ill, if you do nothing..."
