Soon, Richard walked down the second floor to the hall on the first floor, and saw a thin old man in blue standing in the distance, looking at the maids operating various complex instruments on several tables around him with a little curiosity. And the maids knew that the old man had a lot of power, so they didn't dare to pant and bow their heads for fear of getting into trouble.

"Da Da Da ......"

Richard stepped closer to the other party, the old man turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw that it was Richard, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Royal Highness Richard." ”

"Hmm. Richard nodded, didn't say anything, and asked directly, "What is the reason why Steward Delong has come to me?" What does my esteemed father, King Donus, want to do?"

"Uh......" the old man spoke, his voice slightly hoarse and hesitant, "Actually, His Royal Highness Richard is not an order from His Majesty the King......"

"Then it seems that I have the right to refuse. Richard said lightly.

The old man's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Of course, Your Royal Highness Richard, you are the prince and the second heir of the king, except for the order of His Majesty the king, you naturally have the right to refuse." It's just that...... Just ......"

"Just what?" asked Richard.

"Here's the thing. The old man sighed and said slowly, "Your Highness Richard, because His Majesty has been ill for a long time recently, His Royal Highness the eldest prince said...... He said that he wanted to cut back on his daily needs so that he could find a better doctor to treat His Majesty.

His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, though it was only a proposal, had already begun to do it, and from this day onwards, he would cut the amount of money in his palace by one-third. In this case, if Your Highness Richard does not respond, His Royal Highness the Great Prince may not look good, and after all, this matter is for His Majesty the Kingdom, His Majesty the King's side......"

"Cut down on the cost and treat the king?Is the Blue Lion Kingdom already poor like this?" Richard said, his voice slightly cold.

"This ......" the old man's body trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his face, "Naturally this is not the case, His Royal Highness the eldest prince may just want to express his filial piety......"

"Steward Delong, no more talk. Richard's cold voice rang out, "I know the thoughts and intentions of my dear brother, William Austen. It's just that he is him, I am me, if he wants to express filial piety, let him express it well, and reduce the use.

Steward Delong, I know that you rushed over to tell me about this, it was a good intention, but I still can't reduce the use of this side for the time being, you have also seen so many people in this hall, they are all useful to me, I need them to make all kinds of chemical raw materials for me, otherwise I need to make it myself, just an experimental research will be exhausting to death.

Therefore, my side remains the same, and the degree remains the same, just to make a comparison with my dear brother, and better show his filial piety. As for whether my dear brother is good-looking or not, whatever the rest of the people, my esteemed father, King Dinnus, think, let them be. ”

"This ......," the old man looked at Richard, and stopped talking.

Richard made a gesture of invitation to a door.

The old man had no choice but to salute again, exit the door, and leave the palace.

Walking to the square outside the palace, the old man couldn't help but say to himself with a little sadness: "Your Royal Highness Richard, in fact, you don't necessarily have to cut one-third of the use like the eldest prince, even if it's one-tenth or one-twentieth of it." But I don't even bother to do it, so it's ...... Alas......"

The old man's back disappeared into the square, and Edward approached Richard in the palace, and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Royal Highness, I think we can actually cut the cost a little." The funds in the palace are still a little surplus, and the money earned from the few shops you opened in the city has been left outside the palace and unused, and it is a waste to put it away, so it is better to ......"

"I don't need to mention it anymore. Richard waved his hand to stop Edward from continuing, "I have other uses for the money of the shop, and a part of the money for the palace must also be set aside for emergencies, so there is no part of the face project, and I will not cut a copper kley." ”

"Forehead ......"

"Okay, I'm going to go to the lab now to do some research, you continue to look at the palace point, there's nothing urgent to bother me. As he spoke, Richard walked towards the independent lab on the side.

Edward hurriedly reminded, "Your Royal Highness, you haven't eaten breakfast yet?"

"No need. I'll wait until I've done some research and I'll eat it. ”

"However, you didn't eat yesterday's dinner, and ...... today," Edward's words were not finished, and Richard had already walked into the independent laboratory and slammed the door shut.

Edward's remaining words were swallowed helplessly, and he let out a sigh, "Alas, Your Royal Highness, it is really difficult for you to make me the captain of the guard......"

......

Richard walked into the independent lab and found it cleaned.

The corpse of the python on the table in the middle, as well as the blood stains on the ground from yesterday's dissection, have been cleaned up, and there is a faint smell of disinfectant alcohol in the air, which seems to be done in strict accordance with the cleaning regulations set by themselves.

With a slight nod, Richard walked to a wooden shelf, took out many bottles and cans and tubes from it, and began to connect them, and finally formed an extremely complex set of instruments.

Put some whitish plant powder into one of the first jars and start the heating reaction.

This was Richard's attempt to create a phytoalkaloid-based anesthetic, and the reason for doing so was to scientifically try to solve the three life reinvention difficulties described in the Wizard's books.

According to the contents of the "Monroe Chapter", people with wizarding talents are born with strong mental powers, which can intentionally or unintentionally affect some light objects, such as preventing the fall of a scroll.

Only such a person can automatically enter a special super-body state, connect with the vast universe, absorb the energy projected by the stars in the universe, and complete the first reshaping of life.

After that, the spiritual power is used to make the body in a highly activated state, so that the spiritual power acts on the body and is highly condensed, and a special container called "Fa Yuan" is constructed, and the absorbed astral projection energy is stored in it, which is convenient for later use to complete the second reshaping of life.

Finally, use spiritual power to bring life into a high-energy state, smelt the energy stored in the "magic source", and make it a real "mana", which can be used to release real spells and complete the third reshaping of life.

To put it simply, the three reinventions of life are the three preparations that a person needs to make in advance if he wants to release a spell. After making these three preparations in advance, you can start casting spells, and as for how many steps you need to cast spells, another matter. But if you can't do these three steps, then spellcasting is an unattainable goal.

Obviously, this set of "spell system" is extremely cumbersome, and it is not as simple as it is said in entertainment novels - you only need to close your eyes and sit cross-legged, absorb the aura in the heaven and earth into your body, and release it when you use it.

This set of "spell system", even if Richard described it according to the content of the "Chapter of Monroe", plus a lot of his own speculation, has a lot of doubts about many places.

For example, what is the "super-body state" to be achieved in the first life remodeling? What is the "highly activated state" to be achieved in the second life remodeling? and what is the "high-energy state" to be achieved in the third life remodeling?

In this regard, Richard can only guess, grope and try.

According to some relevant explanations in the book, the "super-body state" of the first life reshaping is a mysterious state that allows the spirit to temporarily detach itself from the physical body and feel the outside world with the spirit. It felt a bit like a dream, but it kept itself awake.

Richard understood this to mean that the "superbody state" should be similar to meditation, which is the Indian Sanskrit word for "mantra": in Sanskrit, "mantra" can be divided into two parts, "man" and "tra". "Man" means "mind". "Tra" means "to lead away". Thus, "mantra" means to detach the human mind from its worldly thoughts, worries, desires, spiritual burdens, and so on.

However, the "super-body state" is not exactly the same as the "mantra" meditation, which is more in-depth, and on the basis of maintaining self-consciousness and relaxation, it is more detached from the body and more deeply into the spirit, similar to the ultimate state of meditation - Zen.

Or, in other words, it is a state of "nightmare", that is, a "ghost press": when a person suddenly wakes up in a sleep, the brain regains consciousness, but the motor center is still in a deep sleep, which leads to a phenomenon in which the mind cannot control the body. You can think, you can remember, but you can't make any movement in your limbs, which can make the person who is experiencing it extremely panic.

Or the "lucid dreaming" that many people pursue: the consciousness is half-asleep and half-awake, and can clearly know that it is dreaming, and can control the generation of arbitrary dreams, allowing itself to create and destroy like God, and realize all kinds of fantasies that cannot be done in reality.

To put it simply, the "superbody state" is an extremely deep "mantra" meditation, and it is not easy to do this. Even true yoga masters can't guarantee full immersion in meditation at all times. The so-called "nightmares" and "lucid dreams" are even more difficult to find, and even if you deliberately make sleep adjustments, the success rate is less than 1 in 10.

This is completely unacceptable to Richard, and in a scientific attitude, only a 100% success rate can prove that one thing is only feasible.

And if he wants to make the "super-body state", which is extremely difficult to achieve, 100%, Richard thinks of a way - rely on drugs.
