At night, the palace of Prince William, restaurant.

There were only a few candles on the long dining table, and the candle flame flickered, and the whole house was very dimly lit.

The eldest prince, William, sat quietly at one end of the table, as if waiting for someone.

Suddenly, there was a "squeak", the door of the restaurant opened, and a figure walked in. Because the light was dim, it was impossible to see the other party's face, but just looking at the outline, I could guess that it was a handsome young man.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince......" The figure walked in, and hurriedly greeted him, his voice extremely respectful.

William raised his hand to restrain the other party's politeness, and said softly: "Sit down, I'm waiting for you." According to etiquette, the other party should have sat at the other end of the table, but William made a gesture towards the position close to his side.

The figure was slightly stunned, and then sat down next to William in sincere fear.

William clapped his hands, and immediately a maid entered the dining-room and brought the prepared food to the table, which was simple, nothing more than white bread, pork chops, half-cold roasted hares, mushroom soup, and ale.

The two of them started eating, the process was a little silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

William didn't say a word, just focused on eating, as if that required him to put 100% of his energy into it. Regardless of the taste of the food, it is carefully chewed and swallowed when it is brought to the mouth.

The figure on the side was a little nervous, although it was eating with the standard etiquette of the nobility, but the speed was extremely slow, a piece of pork chop cut into pieces the size of diced meat, piece by piece towards the mouth, in the oppressive atmosphere a drop of sweat from the face.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, William gently put the knife and fork in his hand towards the dining table, made a soft "pop" sound, and turned his head to look at the figure next to him.

The figure swallowed all the food in his mouth with a quick "crunch", and lowered the knife at great speed to meet William's gaze.

"His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Hmm. William spoke up, "You should be familiar with my brother, right?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince......'s younger brother - His Royal Highness Richard? Familiar, of course. The figure said cautiously.

"What do you think my brother is?"

"Well, this ......" the figure hesitated a little, pondered for a long time, and organized the language, "As far as I know, His Royal Highness Richard is very smart, but also very eccentric, always researching something related to wizards, or doing some experiments, in short...... It seems that you are completely different from His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Definitely. William nodded, in agreement, and his eyes flashed, "Richard...... Well, my brother is indeed very smart and eccentric. Actually, he's been like this since he was a child.

You should know that he is two years younger than me. But you don't know that he was fluent with me, and he was able to communicate with other people—when I was three years old and he was one year old. ”

The figure looked surprised.

"Of course, I don't know any of this, after all, when I was a child, who can remember, these are all told to me by my father. My father also told me that my younger brother had many strange behaviors when he was a child, such as never crying, and of course never laughing, not like a child, as if that little body hid the soul of another person.

He was very literate and a quick learner, and by the age of six the court teachers could no longer teach him. After that, the place he went to the most was the library. According to the curator, he seems to be reading much faster than ordinary people, and others are really reading, while he is flipping. The most important thing is that he can still remember it firmly after he turns it over. I remember when I was 10 years old and he was 8 years old, my father did us with questions and then ...... Do you know what the result is?"

William looked at the figure, which shook its head in confusion.

William's eyes flashed with color: "As a result, I didn't even have a chance to think, basically my father's question was not finished, and his answer had already been said." In the end, my father asked him how to be a good king, and afterwards I thought that if he had given his father a satisfactory answer, maybe his father would have made him the crown prince directly. But guess how he answered?"

The figure shook its head again.

He said......" William chuckled, "he said, he didn't bother to answer the question. He said that being a king was a troublesome thing, and he had more important things to do, and he was too lazy to be a king. ”

"......" figure didn't know what to say.

William shook his head, as if talking to himself, "Do you know how I felt at the time? surprised, well, scared. Because I suddenly found that this younger brother is actually much better than me, if he wants to do something, he will definitely do it better than me, but he is unwilling to do it, as if he has already seen the result.

My brother is so eccentric—eccentric, eccentric prince. Especially since his father was admitted to school, he has become even more eccentric, and began to do all kinds of experiments, study all kinds of things related to wizards, and make all kinds of things that are frightening. For example, the acid that can easily corrode the sharp iron sword, and the stone that can make a loud explosion when thrown in water.

No one knew what he wanted to do, or what his purpose was. In the end, in fact, his father was a little scared of him, otherwise there would not have been that misunderstanding three years ago. ”

At the end, William sighed lightly, looked at the figure and said, "I called you here, but I didn't mean anything else. I want to be a good brother and keep him safe, whatever he does, as long as it's not too excessive. At the same time, I also want to be a good king and protect the country well. ”

"So!" William's eyes became serious.

The figure was shocked, and the next moment he heard William Dao, "...... There's one thing you're going to do for me, and that's ......."

The figure's expression changed rapidly, and after a long time, his gaze was certain, and he replied loudly: "Yes!"

......

At night, Richard Palace.

In the bedroom, Richard flipped through "The Monroe Chapter", his eyes flickering, and occasionally showed a thoughtful expression.

Although he successfully released his first spell yesterday, he is not even a first-level apprentice now. There are three levels of wizard apprenticeship: Level 1 Apprentice, Level 2 Apprentice, and Level 3 Apprentice. Only when you reach the third level of apprenticeship and then successfully advance can you become a wizard.

Now, I am only a rookie who has just entered the wizarding world, and it is just the beginning, and how to go about the rest of the way still needs to be explored and chosen. Besides, it is obviously impossible to try to parse the whole world with the help of a wizarding book. You also need to get more things related to wizards, and even contact the real wizards and magical creatures of this world.

"The road is vast, and I will go up and down to seek, and there is a long way to go. Richard muttered to himself.

It's a long road, but Richard doesn't feel like he can't finish using science to parse spells. After all, no matter how magical the spell is, it must also conform to the common sense of chemistry and physics, and you can't let the flames freeze people and let the ice scorch people.

Even if it doesn't conform to the common sense of chemistry and physics, it must also conform to logic and mathematics, and the effect of the spell must not be random, and the two with the same power are less than one.

If this is the case, then Aristotle, the leader of logic and the Celestial Venerable of the Warping Ball, really wants to use the lever to warp the planet away. And Archimedes, a mathematician and circle maniac, also had to snatch the dagger of a Roman soldier and stab someone.

Everything that is unknown may seem mysterious, just as things that are too much out of a world are often regarded as magic, but it always has to follow some laws, and that law is science.

Science is not something immutable, but a way of thinking and a worldview.

What Richard really wanted to do was to figure out the science in this spell, to figure out why he came to this world, to figure out everything.

Crossing and conquering the world, just listen to this sentence, and when it really happens, you will know how unreasonable it is.

If you are like an ostrich, as described in many novels, ignore it and live as if everything is normal. Convincing oneself to be assimilated by the world, to live the way of the world, or to strive to become the strongest within the framework of the world, is obviously a choice.

But Richard didn't want that.

In Richard's opinion, this was no different from the captive-bred bugs in the box. Doing nothing is a bug, work hard, become a little stronger or even the strongest, still a bug, still in the box.

Richard wanted to figure out what was going on with the box and why he was in it, and then walk out.

The reason why I became a wizard is not because I want to have any earth-destroying power, but because I want to understand what this hidden science that does not exist on the modern earth at all. Understand its core principles, grasp them and make use of them, and then understand the principles of the current world.

The strongest wizard is still a wizard, still a bug in a box. Figure out all the principles and get out of the box, and it will be God. This is a qualitative difference.

After all, living in a box, you never know if anything will fall down on the box in the next moment, directly destroying the whole world.

"It's a long road...... Richard said to himself, "so you can't waste time, you have to go quickly......"

......
