To Merinsera and the others, yesterday's stroll was not enough to experience the city's atmosphere. Therefore, she asked the others to continue today. However, Sylvia chose to refuse. Her reason was simple: she had to complete the mission that Roddy had given her.
"I'll talk to Roddy when I get back!"
Merinsera complained angrily. Sylvia naturally did not dare to let her go. She quickly begged for mercy, "I dare not refuse the mission that the city lord has given me. I'll go with you after I'm done with my work. We still have a long way to go."
"That's true. Stay here then."
Akasha saw that Sylvia had really let go of the knot in her heart. Since Sylvia called her "city lord" very smoothly, it was clear that she had already accepted this idea. Therefore, the three of them prepared to leave. However, before they left, Roddy stopped Merinsera and whispered something to her. Merinsera nodded and agreed. Only then did he ask Akasha and Naiffy to leave together.
Sylvia, who was left behind, did not return to her room immediately. Instead, after some thought, she took out the gold coins she had won and called for the hotel's butler. She asked if he could help her buy some periodicals and documents related to the "floating space tower".
Although she only knew the High Elves' language and characters, as a Magician with a strong memory, she had basically familiarized herself with the current Bringan language. Therefore, she had no trouble reading these things.
The butler of a high-class hotel was naturally efficient. Lassman was from the Mage Nation. Even a commoner without any talent in magic would be familiar with the things that these old Magicians read. In less than an hour, the butler had his servants place two large stacks of documents in Sylvia's room. Sylvia thanked him profusely and even gave him an extra tip.
"Phew … It's so good to be rich!"
Sylvia only let out a long sigh of relief after the door was closed. She sat on the comfortable bed and sighed.
Back when she worked in Cadgar's laboratory, she was busy all day, and the salary was not very generous. Most of the money she had to send to her younger siblings at home to learn magic. But now, the gold coins she won from playing mahjong with Akasha and the others were enough for her to spend for a few years.
"This era doesn't seem to be that bad …"
Sylvia, who was increasingly accepting this world, rubbed her face and sorted out her thoughts. Then, she began to seriously place the stack of design requirements that Roddy gave her on the table. She had looked through these things many times before, but it was difficult to conduct any systematic experiments in the cabin, and they were close to the shore, so she did not conduct any further research. Now that there was ample time and conditions, Sylvia could naturally raise the difficult questions systematically.
In her eyes, the so-called "plane" seemed to be a "floating space tower" that could move long distances. But on second thought, the function of this thing seemed to be completely different from a "floating space tower".
The floating distance and control range of Elson's "floating space tower" must be determined by the magic circle in the city. Without the support of the magic circle on the ground, the floating space tower would directly fall to the ground when it was too far away. In Silvia's era, this kind of thing did happen.
However, the thing that Roddy requested to design actually did not rely on the floating magic circle to fly. The real need for the floating magic circle was only during the take-off and landing stage. According to the "plane" described by Roddy, it could fly long distances in the air with the help of two rotating "propellers". The "charging crystal" only needed to drive the propellers, and did not need to be responsible for the "plane" itself to float. This obviously consumed a lot less energy, and at the same time, it also got rid of the limitation of the "central control magic circle".
But … could this thing really fly?
The High Elves, who had overexploited "arcane", did not study "aerodynamics". So, looking at the streamlined shape of the fixed wings, she could not imagine how the plane could fly …
"How do I make the propellers?"
"Can the propellers achieve this effect?"
It was okay if she did not understand. She would know once she tried it.
Silvia was the chief assistant in the lab. She might not be good at fighting, but she was top-notch when it came to operating the lab. Otherwise, she would not have been able to become the capable assistant of a demigod Magician. She quickly made a simple schedule and then listed out the experimental materials. She wrote down the previous lab management rules and began to study the principle of the "take-off and landing" floating magic circle.
But before she could read a few papers, someone knocked on the door and interrupted her thoughts. Opening the door, Silvia saw Roddy looking at her curiously. "What are you doing?"
"Um … I, I just bought some papers and am reading them."
Thinking that she had spent a lot of money, Silvia suddenly felt a little embarrassed. But now, her stuttering was completely different from the autistic person she used to be. Roddy glanced around the room and was relieved. He nodded and continued, "Just in time, I am going to rent a lab. The hotel can't do research, so come with me."
"Really? Okay! Right away! "
Looking at Silvia who excitedly closed the door and changed her clothes, Roddy shook his head. This seemed to be how a normal researcher should be. But he also thought of a new question. If Silvia could return to normal after "resurrection", then … what about the other High Elf Undead?
There were at least ten High Elf Magicians in Elsen City who were in a similar state. If they could all become researchers, it would be a great help. If he thought about it a little more, what about Princess Eve who was trapped in the "Time Stop Barrier" in the High Elves' Wagra Ruins?
According to seniority, she should be the teacher's wife, right?
But all these were just random thoughts on Roddy's mind. Silvia, who had changed her clothes and walked out of the room, snapped him out of his thoughts. Roddy smiled and called Misha and the four Dragon Lance Knights out of the door.
As the capital of Lassiman, Duriel relied on magic to expand, and its planning was quite scientific. The six academies surrounded the Colummir Magic Tower in the center, like stars around the moon. And in a place like this, there were many kinds of "magic laboratories" available for rent. But Roddy did not wander around aimlessly. He brought Silvia to a street recommended by Houdini and quickly found two suitable "middle-rank Magician laboratories". After happily paying for two weeks, he arranged for Silvia to do her own research.
It took less than 20 minutes for Silvia to leave the hotel and enter the laboratory. Silvia was shocked by Roddy's efficiency. Looking at the dozens of gold coins that Roddy paid, she felt her heart ache, but at the same time, she felt that this city lord was really generous …
"It's so good to have enough funds …"
She had lost count of the umpteenth time she had said this. Looking at the facilities in the laboratory, Sylvia nodded in satisfaction. She opened the door and was about to buy some experiment materials when she saw the Dragon Lance Knight who had followed her here standing outside the house. He said respectfully, "Wizard Sylvia, if you need any help, just let me know."
At this moment, Silvia's face was full of smiles. She finally felt a sense of accomplishment as a "laboratory manager".
Roddy, on the other hand, did not think so much. He was quickly flipping through the documents from the Deep Blue he had just found. After confirming that there were almost no descriptions of "demonized" fishes, he threw the papers aside and took out a piece of white paper to write an outline of his thesis.
That's right, Roddy was going to write a thesis.
As a witness of the waves released by the "Demon Gate", and with his rich knowledge of "demons" thanks to "Demon Mastery", Roddy could basically confirm one fact: Many species in the ocean were affected by "demonization", and it was very likely that the "murlocs" were among them!
The murlocs with four limbs were not simple marine creatures. They were amphibious creatures. If they became an extremely aggressive demonized army and charged onto land to attack humans, Roddy would not be surprised at all. Moreover, all the signs indicated that Lasiman would soon be affected!
If he were to write a systematic thesis on the "demonization" of marine creatures, he would not only be breaking new ground, but most importantly, he could also create a trend in this country that had countless ships and conducted large-scale sampling and research — research on "dealing with demons".
There were many mages and resources here. When the issue of "demonization" was raised, the mages who felt threatened would naturally think of ways to solve it …
Don't forget, Roddy wanted to build a port city in the Kingdom of Karen. The threat of "demonized" species was also a problem he faced, but the Kingdom of Karen obviously could not compare to Lasiman in terms of "hardware". Thus, by raising this issue, Roddy was basically using all the mages in Lasiman to solve the problem.
All he had to do was to wait patiently for the follow-up research results …
There was no need to waste resources when they expired. Roddy's plan was meticulous.
He simply listed out the key points that he could think of. Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory.
Opening the door, all kinds of live fish that the Dragon Lance Knight ordered from the dock were carried to the door in water containers by the merchant. Lasiman's dock had all kinds of businesses, from food to experiments. As long as one could afford it, all kinds of fresh fish could be bought and shipped over.
"There are a total of 28 kinds. Including the shipping cost, the total is 7 gold coins and 80 silver coins."
The price was not cheap, but the variety was definitely complete. Roddy looked at the test subjects that had no wounds and were more than half a meter in size. He nodded in satisfaction and let the Dragon Lance Knight pay. Then, the whole laboratory was filled to the brim.
"Alright, let's begin."
Roddy turned to Misha, who was staring at the fish intently. He reached out and slapped his head. "It's not for you to eat. Stab it carefully, don't stab it to death. You have to know that how much money you can earn in the future depends on you. "
