Garon hurriedly found some white bread to eat in the kitchen, and then washed the dust off his body with clean water. Back in the master bedroom, he took out a yellow-green robe from the closet and changed into it without hesitation. He threw the clothes that were too dirty to wear into the bathroom, and only then did he rest comfortably for the night.
The next morning, Garon woke up before the sun had even risen. When he went to the small living room, the little girl was already busy. Obviously, she had the key to this house.
He sat on the sofa, and watched as the little girl deftly served him a plate of apple slices and bread, and also a cup of steaming white goat's milk.
"Please eat." The little girl would rather perform a very crude and not standard etiquette, and then hurried back to the kitchen.
Garon picked up the goat's milk, and took a small sip. The taste was very strange, as if something had been added. It had a slightly fishy taste, and was very sticky.
He raised the glass, and looked carefully at the goat's milk. He could vaguely see a bit of egg yolk in the white milk.
Suddenly, light footsteps came from the stairs, and Emin walked down from the second floor, wearing a gray robe. He had a relaxed expression on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood.
He walked to Garon's side and sat down, and casually picked up a slice of bread from Garon's plate, and bit off a piece.
"How was it? Did you rest well? "
"Very well, teacher." Garon nodded.
"That's good." Emin nodded. "From today onwards, we will speak in your Lush Forest dialect. This small town is isolated from the rest of the world, and other than the Empire's public language, they only speak their own native language. They don't understand any other languages at all. And your Lush Forest dialect is very different from the public language. It's simple enough to keep it a secret. "
"I have no objections." Garon quickly nodded.
"Very well, then let's begin." Emin spoke the last half of his sentence directly in the Lush Forest dialect, and it sounded very standard, which surprised Garon a little.
"Then teacher, how should I learn the tactics?" Garon asked formally.
"Tactics …" Emin muttered to himself, as if organizing his words.
Just then, the little girl Nicole walked over with Emin's breakfast and carefully placed it in front of him. Then, without making a sound, she bent her knees and turned to leave.
She wiped her hands clean on her black apron, opened the door, and left the small building, gently closing the door behind her. She seemed very sensible.
After the little girl left, Emin picked up his goat milk and drank as he spoke.
"Tactics are the foundation of a Luminarist. It is the foundation of all abilities of a Luminarist. You have to keep this in mind. "
He reached into his cup of goat milk in an ungraceful manner, dipped his finger in the milk, and gently drew on the table.
Soon, a spherical object appeared on the table. The inside was also divided into several small pieces.
"You should know that Science Illustrated discovered a long time ago that living things are made up of very, very fine cells." Emin retracted his index finger. "Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs combine to form a system. Finally, the system forms the whole organism. You should know this, right? "
"Of course. This is the foundation of biology. We've learned it before. "Garon nodded.
"Actually, our tactics are the same as this. It's like the cells in a living thing. From them, it forms tissues, organs, systems, and finally our own totems. This is the path you have to walk in the future. "Emin answered simply. "Tactics are called units by us. In professional terms, it is a unit tactic that forms a totem creature based on the tactic. This was how every Luminarist constructed their own totems. There are no exceptions. "
"Teacher, if that's the case, the cells in a living thing are countless. If totems are created this way, then wouldn't the number of tactics required be abnormally large?" Garon frowned.
"This is the core of what we have to learn. First, you have to learn the most basic tactic structure — Living Unit. This is the foundation of everything. " Emin said seriously, "In the future, you will use the Living Unit to construct your own tissues, organs, systems, and even a real living totem. This is all you have to do. "
"What a huge project …" Even though Garon had reached the peak of martial arts in his past life, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. The number of cells in a living thing was easily measured in the trillions. To construct the keys one by one, it was impossible to construct a real totem in one's lifetime.
"What's wrong? You're discouraged already? "Emin said with a smile," Aren't you a genius? You can't take such a small blow? "
"Since so many Luminarists can have their own totems, then there must be a pattern to it!" Garon said confidently.
"Not bad." Emin nodded approvingly. "Alright, let's eat breakfast first. I'm just telling you the path you have to walk in the future. You have to learn how to use tools later. Tools that Luminarists need. "
"Alright."
The two of them sped up and stopped talking. After quickly finishing their breakfast, the two of them went up to the second floor and walked into a clean white room that looked like a laboratory.
There was a huge long table in the room. It took up half of the room's space. There seemed to be something on the table, but it was all covered by a black cloth and couldn't be seen.
Emin closed the door and locked it.
Then he walked in front of the black cloth and lifted it.
Whoosh!
The black cloth fell to the ground, revealing the thing that was covered.
"Hiss …" Garon sucked in a breath of cold air. His face showed an expression of disbelief.
On the table, there was an extremely intricate and complicated instrument. Moreover, the instrument was completely made of transparent silver metal. On an area the size of a palm, hundreds of light silver metal parts could be seen, slowly rotating along with the gears.
The details of the instrument were extremely fine, giving off a pure, cold, exquisite sense of beauty.
The whole instrument was like an extremely intricate toy, continuously rolling a drop of mercury from left to right, from high to low, until it finally dripped into a silver cup.
On the five to six meter long and wide instrument, there were thousands of fingernail-sized parts embedded. It looked extremely intricate.
Emin walked in front of the instrument. His face showed an unprecedented solemnity.
"What I'm going to introduce to you next is one of the two essential tools for Luminarists: Unit Factory."
"Unit Factory?" Garon repeated, but his eyes were fixed on the instrument that was still working quietly.
"Yes, as the name suggests, it's a factory that produces units." Emin nodded and answered, "This instrument is the unit factory that produces my special totem, the White Bear." He paused.
"I've said before, totem creatures are all made of units. Your father is a Luminarist, so you should have seen the totem's form, so I won't say more. And the living unit is the foundation of everything. When a Luminarist has researched the living unit of a creature, then he can use the unit factory to make a large number of copies, and then step by step to form a higher level structure, finally forming a totem. Simply put, it's a tool used to make a large number of copies of basic units. After that, it forms tissues, organs, systems, and then totems. "
He covered the instrument with the black cloth again.
"You will have this in the future, and you must have this. Now let's look at the second tool. "
He walked to a small table in the corner.
"This is a complete set of tools. Before the unit factory makes copies of the living unit, where does this living unit come from? You'll have to rely on the Luminarist to find it yourself. "
"Find it?" Garon paused, "Isn't it a fixed model? For example, Master's White Bear, can't I build it? "
"There are those. Learn from a totem that has already been researched, and then build it. That's the simplest way." Emin nodded approvingly, "It's good that you noticed this. This was the reason why different Luminarists would have stronger totems if they had more knowledge and more richness. That's why every Luminarist is very conservative with their knowledge, because knowledge represents power. "
Emin paused, and continued, "Since you're my student, naturally you'll have to walk the path that I'm good at. But I'm not only good at the White Bear, I have other totems too. Let's not talk about this for now. "
He pointed at the white instrument that looked like a microscope on the table.
"This is a microscopic microscope, it can magnify objects for detailed observation. The magnification is 800 times or less. It's a medium quality product that you can buy in the market. On the side is a petri dish, tweezers, magnifying glass, dissecting needle, tripod, asbestos net, alcohol lamp, test tube clamp, razor tweezers, slide glass, cover glass … "Emin introduced the whole set to Garon.
Garon looked at this strangely familiar scene.
"This is exactly like a microscope and a set of simple experiment equipment from Earth …" He compared it in his mind.
In the end, Emin said with a sigh.
"Unfortunately, my funds are limited. The Royal Alliance of Luminarists recently released a new instrument, but I don't have enough funds to buy it."
He stood beside the small table.
"These are the two essential tools for a Luminarist. They're used to research and replicate the living unit."
"In other words, the living unit is the core of everything. Then where does it come from?" Garon was confused.
"This is a very important question." Emin nodded approvingly, "The living unit comes from all kinds of strange sources. There are countless creatures in nature. Luminarists study powerful creatures, and obtain the ability to replicate them using silver. Our living unit actually comes from all kinds of creatures in nature. "
"All kinds of creatures in nature … So in theory, any kind of creature can be replicated by a Luminarist into a totem?" Garon was slightly interested.
"Of course. As long as you study thoroughly, thoroughly, and understand the secrets of the cells of the creatures you study. Then it's up to you to replicate into a totem. " Emin smiled and nodded, "Of course, everyone's energy is limited. If you want to study everything, and don't specialize, then what awaits you will be nothing. Your totem can't even beat the most common Luminarist, you have to be careful. "
