In the evening, Roland sat in his office and began to think of new gear.

The pills that appeared in the blue water harbor gave him a strong sense of crisis, and no matter why the church wanted to support him and Garcia in their struggle for the throne at the same time, just thinking of the thousands of troops in Garcia's hands made his scalp tingle.

Consider the speed of thousands of iron warriors running out of cavalry on foot, rushing towards him with an unstoppable momentum, and the thin line of guns is only afraid that it will be difficult to stop. As long as one person rushed into the ranks, they would inflict heavy losses on the First Army.

Fortunately, this pill does not provide the effect of immune damage, and the person who takes the pill is still flesh and blood.

He had to need a weapon with a higher rate of fire and accuracy, capable of firing continuously at greater distances.

Without mercury thunderate as a primer, Roland had to find a way to get around this hurdle and produce a batch of replacement equipment to deal with a possible crisis.

Anna's new abilities gave him great confidence, and now she could make designs with incredible precision, and with incredible efficiency—she could now stack several pieces on top of each other and cut them at the same time, compared to the flintlock pistol parts that had been forged by a blacksmith with a hammer.

Universal education and the unification of weights and measures are preparations for large-scale industrial production, but this does not mean that shortcuts should not be taken. Anna's new abilities are a treasure trove of potential to be tapped. Roland now goes to the North Slope Mountain every afternoon to study the use of black fire with her. If she really doesn't have time, she will practice her control skills and carve some gadgets - such as witches' figurines.

Although her skills at figuring figures are still very young, Roland believes that one day his bookcase exhibition will be filled with figurines of various witches...... Probably, right?

He picked out a steel ruler and pressed it on the parchment, and after two strokes, there was a knock at the door.

If the guards don't report it, then nine times out of ten it's a witch. At the moment, most witches are learning to read words and the four arithmetic with books in the living room on the first floor, so there is no need to participate in basic teaching, and the witches who have time to come to him are just that.

"Come in. ”

Sure enough, it was Anna who pushed the door in.

She closed the door softly and walked over to Roland's desk, holding a gold-rimmed book in her arms.

Being able to borrow the book of transformation that she can only manifest once a day before the book class, I have to say that although Anna doesn't like to talk much, her popularity is surprisingly good among the witch community. Thinking of Nanawa, who used to stick behind her like a little tail, maybe she was born with the charm to attract witches?

"What's wrong?

"Well," she nodded, spreading the book out in front of Roland, "here...... You said that everything in the world is made up of small balls, and these balls are different, but you mentioned later that they can be turned into ...... Wave?" Anna asked, "What is a wave?"

"When you throw a stone into the water, the concussion is a wave," the prince coughed twice, "It's a concept, just look at it, don't go deeper." ”

"Why?"

Because I don't understand it myself, Roland couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, the microscopic quantum realm is originally a mysterious and mysterious thing, and he wouldn't have written this content if he knew it. Thinking so in my heart, I can't say this in my mouth, "Because the ball has the properties of waves, and it also has the properties of matter." The same is true for us who are made up of small balls, but we are too massive to observe volatility. As for the deeper reason, it will take countless generations to explore. He thought for a moment and added, "Because this phenomenon is quite conflicting with common sense, it is very difficult to understand, just as it is difficult for us in the three-dimensional world to imagine a four-dimensional space." You don't have to take it personally. ”

Anna pursed her lips, seemingly dissatisfied with Roland's explanation, but she quickly asked, "What is the four-dimensional space?"

“......”

By the time she stopped asking, the prince was already dry-mouthed. He really underestimated Anna's desire to learn, and if she continued like this, he would have nothing to teach her.

Especially when Roland asked about the other party's progress in mathematics, she replied with a relaxed face: "That's a lot easier, and now I'm looking at the equations and matrices, which is quite interesting." ”

It's a lot simpler, it's a lot more fun...... Roland suddenly felt that the gap between people was too big, how long had it been? In a week, he had learned the matrix equations from simple elementary functions, and then it was time to go down to calculus. In school, Anna is definitely a formidable student.

And...... is still a very beautiful scholar.

Roland looked at the woman who was looking down at the book, and was a little distracted for a moment. Her thin bangs were placed in front of her forehead, and there were scattered ends of hair falling naturally around her cheeks, and he couldn't help but stretch out his index finger, pull up the ends of his hair, and gently put it behind her ear.

She turned her head sideways and looked at Roland with a smile in her eyes. The blue pupils of the lake were no longer as still as water, but rippled. They looked at each other closely, until Anna opened her mouth and said a word—no sound, just lip sync. Roland still read her lips.

"Nightingale isn't here now. 」

The meaning of this sentence could not be more straightforward, and Roland felt that it would be too stupid to pretend not to understand. The room was silent, and he could almost hear the other party's breathing and heartbeat.

As he got closer, Anna closed her eyes and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Roland smelled the faint scent coming from her body and kissed her lips gently.

The soft feeling came through the touch, and time seemed to freeze in this moment, and I don't know how long it took to separate.

Before he could say anything, Anna stood on her tiptoes and put their lips together again.

......

"Huh-ha-hey!" Mystic sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes and pondered, her hands raised high, and the words in her mouth.

"What are you crazy about?" Lily asked, wrapping a towel around her wet hair, frowning.

"I'm imagining myself made of particles," she said, opening her eyes, "I'm a particle," and then pointed to Lily, "You're a particle, too!"

"Fault. The latter rolled his eyes and slipped into the soft bed.

"Well, no. Mitsuki sighed, "I've thought of everything around me as a matter of particles, so why wouldn't I evolve a new ability like Anna?"

"Because you don't believe it at all. Lily said.

"I believe it!"

"You don't believe it," she shook her head, "the only thing you can't deceive is yourself...... Although the reason is not very clear, Anna probably believed unconditionally what the prince said from the beginning. Of course, she's already much smarter than you, which is a key reason why she has access to new abilities. ”

“......”

"Anyway, don't think about it, go to bed in peace. Lily said.

"Don't you want to have such abilities?" Mizuki pouted, "I want to do more for the prince too." ”

"Evolve to keep food fresh longer?" she yawned, "not interested." Besides, why do you have to do more for him, men are ruthless and fickle people, and Echo is an example in front of you. ”

"I'm not interested, but I'm so focused in class. Mizuki muttered quietly, "Except for the leaves, you are the most serious." ”

Lily grabbed the pillow and slapped it in the face, "You sleep for me!" (To be continued.) )
