Chapter 501 Simple is Beautiful
Walking side by side with Dipu, and when it was Lang's concubine, Qiu Min had a lot of words, and she also happily said about her parents: "Mr. Haofu, they don't play cards these days." They said...... Hee-hee, it's boring, it's all your money. So we all went outside to play......"
"The cat next door kept crawling over, and there were five children in their family...... Hee-hee!"
"Today, an official from the management department has come, and he has sent you a fortune to your husband. The previous ones will be made up for you, and there are more than 4,000 gold coins. I took it and prepared it for the family. He also wanted to ask his husband: Do you want to arrange an official residence? But the official residence needs to queue up, and your official is too small, and the place that can be arranged is also very poor, so you can choose the housing subsidy. ”
"Oh?" Dipu was surprised, he didn't expect that the treatment of imperial officials was really good, and he could have such meticulous and thoughtful service.
......
"Well, you're here!" saw Dipu enter the door, and Alexander nodded to him.
Dipper suddenly became listless, and with a flick of his hand, he took out a large pile of metal plates from the storage ring. With a move of his hand, Alexander took the metal plates piece by piece, and looked at them carefully: "It's okay, it's a good idea, but the technique is still a little rough." Then he continued, "You have practiced points and straight lines, and now you will practice the most complex curves, and there are forty-seven ways to draw curves." And in the end, you're going to practice how to connect. ”
Although he became a student of the magic department at the same time, Dip did not take any courses, he only became Alexander's personal disciple and began to learn alchemy puppetry. And what Alexander asked Tip to learn was very simple, that is, let him draw the ...... of points, straight lines and curves first.
Until today, Dipu did not know that there were so many ways to draw points and straight lines. And after Alexander taught him, he asked Dipu to practice constantly, and let him draw more than a thousand times a day, and he was tired enough every day!
Dipu was already blank, and was "escorted" into the inner chamber by Alexander. He began to learn how to draw curves. Qiu Min took out an apron from the bottom of the food basket and put it on, put wine and snacks on the table in the outhouse, and then took out some semi-finished products and hummed a little song. Dinner was prepared for the two of them.
After an hourglass of time, Alexander walked out in a happy mood. Although Dip was reluctant, Alexander was quite satisfied. These most basic lines, Alexander himself, spent more than three years of hard work. I didn't expect this kid recommended by Temo. It is estimated that it will be ready for more than a month. In particular, his magic control is quite good, and he is really a good seedling of alchemy puppetry.
"Grandpa Alexander!" Qiu Min smiled sweetly, "Please take a seat, this is specially made for you at home, and it is a special snack of the kingdom." You taste it. Also, this wine is also good. ”
Alexander took a bite with a smile and exclaimed: "It's still a little girl, blessed are the silly boys!"
......
It took more than two hourglass hours before Dipu came out with mosquito coil eyes. While eating and drinking, Alexander glanced at Dip's "achievements". After that, he knocked on the table quietly: "Let's eat together!"
"Grandpa Sage!" Dipu suddenly relaxed, his face was sad, and he almost hugged Alexander and cried bitterly, "You can let me go! I promise to learn honestly, and you can also teach leisurely, don't be so close." Otherwise, I wouldn't have time to sleep every day. ”
"Hey, hey!" Alexander smirked, "give you time? and then let you out and cause trouble? If you're as well-behaved as Qiu Min, then I might think about it. ”
Watching Qiu Min smile at herself. Dipu sighed, sat down and picked up his knife and fork: "Hey, but I still have time to meditate." You can't just give up on what you need!"
Alexander glanced at Tipu and said with a smile: "Do you feel it yourself, and do you notice that the magic has increased?" The same is a form of meditation. It's a little slower, but the foundation is more solid, the magic is more refined, and the control is more sophisticated. Otherwise, where do you think my holy magician came from?"
"Uh......" Dipu looked inward, realizing that his magic had indeed increased slightly. A few days ago, when he was free, he concocted a high-grade magic pill called "Huang Ling Melting Fire Pill". It's very suitable for your own fire-based physique.
Although he is already a high-level magician, the assistance of potions is no longer very effective. But after taking a few pills, Dipu still increased his magic power by about 10%. However, when I looked inside, I found that it was already more than one percent, and Dipu originally thought that it was the residual medicinal properties that had taken effect, but I didn't expect it to be Alexander's credit. In this way, the resistance of Dip's heart was much smaller.
Today's Alexander, he drank very rarely. But the little old man's alcohol consumption was obviously not good, and as soon as he drank, he talked more: "Dipu, why do you want to learn magic?"
"Uh......?" Dipu was stunned when asked, "It was the teacher who found me and asked me to learn! ”
"Hehehe!" Alexander laughed, "the holy magicians on the continent, don't talk about those who are hiding in the corner, let's talk about your master's Pradona first! It should be said that the understanding of magic, he should be at the top of the list. And Carvalho, the president of the Wizards' Guild, is characterized by concentration and dignification, and he is perfect for earth-based magic. As for Vistin, he pursues gorgeousness. Often, the victory is won in the stunning. As for Almeida, he is completely simple, and although he is not good-looking, he often has the advantage before he knows it......"
Dipu listened intently to the comments, knowing that this was Alexander teaching his magic skills, so he listened quite attentively.
"And I!" said a hint of pride on Alexander's face, "All magicians pursue the power of magic, their own strength, but I am different......"
With a gesture of Alexander's hand, a piece of ironwood floated in the middle of the room. He then raised his hand, and a blank metal plate jumped in the air, and with the click of Alexander's fingers, magical lines appeared on the metal plate. Almost in the blink of an eye, Alexander had drawn a very simple magic array of "spinning" with only a dozen lines. After flicking more than a dozen fingers in succession, the edge of the metal plate broke, forming a uniformly jagged metal saw blade.
A magic crystal flew over again, embedded in the metal plate. Alexander said softly, "Turn it up!" and then the "sawtooth" spun rapidly.
Then the second piece was concocted in the same way, turning into a high-speed rotating sawtooth. The third and fourth blocks ....... There were already a dozen whirling sawtooth in the room, carved into the ironwood under Alexander's "command." Sawdust splashed, sawtooth turned, and gradually a human figure was formed, and then the details of the parts were carefully crafted. It didn't take long for a "Dipu" with a sad face to appear in front of them.
"Giggles!" Qiu Min couldn't hold back her laughter anymore, holding her belly and wiping her tears constantly.
And Alexander also smiled and said to Qiu Min: "Little girl, I've sent you." Placed in the house, you can block enemies a few times. ”
Only then did Dip realize that the clothes and wrinkles of his statue had perfectly formed a magic array, and it turned out to be a fixed magic puppet.
"Do you understand?" Alexander smiled and put away the "sawtooth" one by one, "simple is beautiful!"
"Simplicity is beauty?" said to Dip, this was Alexander's own understanding of magic. But those ...... just now are completely "miracles". If in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to call it a "miracle". So where is this "simplicity"?
Seeing that Dip was lost in thought, Alexander did not bother, smiling and eating by himself. After a full quarter of an hour, Dipu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "You...... You've only used 'spin'. Moreover, it can process any item. ”
Dip had already understood Alexander's intentions: with the use of "spinning", he could make almost anything by changing the knives. Since even expressive statues can be made, ordinary wood and metal can be processed. It's a genius idea. But considering that Alexander was a holy magician, this research result was not so unexpected.
"Hahaha!" Alexander laughed. There was a smile in his eyes. Just by giving an inspiration, Dipu was able to think of this, which already made him overjoyed. However, Alexander was still not satisfied, and he continued: "Is there anything else?"
"And?" Dipu recalled the process just now, and after a while, suddenly jumped up excitedly, "You...... These...... This is something that even an ordinary person with no magical talent can do!"
Although it is certainly impossible to perform such a "miracle" without Alexander's subtle magical control, as long as an ordinary person with strict training can still carve on metal plates, and can also carve and make "sawtooth". It's just that the price of those magic materials and magic crystals is higher, and ordinary people can't afford to use them.
"Hahaha!" Alexander was even more overjoyed. That's genius comprehension!
After laughing for a while, Alexander looked right: "The original intention of magic is to make our human life better. But now, it is either a luxury or a weapon of war. So I've been thinking: why can't ordinary people enjoy the benefits of magic?" )
