The goblin father and daughter officially left the group and went off on their own. Totokani was probably praying that he wouldn't have to see that cunning face of a certain someone for a very long time.
Uzov Gantia still followed. It seemed like he was determined not to leave.
The four silver-bearded dwarves had been pestering a certain someone since the second day they checked into the inn, asking him to repair the energy core of the peace equipment. Lin didn't go back on his word. Instead, he took out the design sketches he had in mind.
In simpler terms, the original energy core of the peace equipment was a battery. Even though it could be used to absorb the wandering authority in the atmosphere to recover the portion that had been expended, it had to be done at a critical juncture. However, such a method would require a certain threshold to be maintained. Once the threshold was breached, it would be difficult to rely on natural recovery to restore the collective's Authority to its original reserves.
Lin's design plan, simply put, was to use fuel to actively transform it into usable Magic Authority. The concept was similar to the engines on the airship Sid. Apart from providing propulsion, it could also be converted into authority.
Lin Huang had formed this idea a long time ago. The first time he had heard the dwarves explain the structure of the peace equipment was when he was still in the silver-bearded dwarves' Irontown. Back then, they had to use the peace equipment as a temporary protective suit in order to enter the core area. That was why the dwarves had explained it to him. The main reason was to warn outsiders that there were parts that could not be damaged.
The reason he hadn't mentioned this idea to Jermaine and the others was that the silver-bearded dwarves were rather secretive about the peace equipment and didn't want outsiders to come into contact with it. There were also a few key points in his design that hadn't been broken through. Since the incomplete draft couldn't solve the problem, it was better not to mention it at all.
The problem was, of course, that all the engine types that Lin Huang knew of. If he wanted to miniaturize them to the point where they could be installed in the energy core of the peace equipment without making too many changes, the power output wouldn't be enough to keep up with the consumption. Not to mention, apart from the consumption, he also hoped to convert additional Authority for storage.
He had thought about whether or not to equip the peaceful armed forces with a reactor … Not to mention the safety of nuclear reactions, even though physics was his specialty, whether it was nuclear fusion or nuclear fission, if he wanted to produce a controllable reaction, he would have to start from scratch.
The only person who could help was the former Demon King's Lich. However, he didn't want her to come into contact with this knowledge. His thoughts were similar to whether or not he should push the goblins to start an industrial revolution.
The situation wasn't so bad that he had to let the Lich master this knowledge. Time was running out, and there was still a lot of knowledge that could be grasped. It was better to spend time on things that could make life better.
A while ago, a coincidental discovery broke through the key point that had been bothering Lin.
The Land of Mystery was a magical world, and the engine was made of magical metals. To be honest, it was only because of the convenience of plastic casting. The reason why the engines had been damaged in the Jura Mountains was because of structural problems. There had never been a case where the strength of the materials could not keep up. But the fuel was still ordinary crude oil. If Authority was added …?
This was because he had irresponsibly given the task of refining crude oil to the two girls to figure out. Originally, he thought that the simple explanation of heating and cooling in layers was already clear enough. In fact, the two girls followed his instructions meticulously. The only problem was the heating process.
Because of the convenience, under Hallumi's instigation, the two girls used the few magic stones they had at the time to speed up the speed of vaporizing the crude oil. Then, because they weren't familiar with the operation, even the orange magic stone was vaporized and mixed with the oil and gas that was to be fractionated. Then, something incredible was produced.
Because the amount produced was very small, and it was only experimental, Lin suppressed this discovery. He also used the excuse of training them to use and distribute their Authority reasonably and to save magic stones to let them carry out the refining operation without using magic stones. Now, this discovery was handed over to the silver-bearded dwarves and let them continue to study the feasibility and the best ratio of the oil Authority.
In this regard, he deliberately asked the inn owner to give the dwarves a sturdy room to do some experiments. Speaking of which, this inn had all kinds of magical defenses. Plus, the owner and his wife were also Magicians, so they didn't refuse such a request.
On the contrary, it would be more dangerous to let the guests do this in private. So, they agreed to let the dwarves and the two Magicians use the alchemy room of the apprentices. Of course, they had to pay an additional fee for the use of the room, and they asked that they couldn't experiment with summoning magic because there was no relevant protective magic array. The visitors from the other world here all came to the mysterious land through other channels.
In short, the silver-bearded dwarves had a long way to go.
For a certain someone, throwing out a topic could also attract their attention, so that they wouldn't always look at him with sad and infatuated eyes. It was really uncomfortable to be stared at like this by a male dwarf with a big beard.
Once again, someone urged the two girls to prepare for the official Magician examination, but the two girls still looked uninterested. After several times of persuasion, they didn't listen, so someone just let it be. Anyway, there were a lot of people in this world who stopped at the apprentice level and couldn't get the Golden Spike Line of an official Magician.
Augustus's Dragon Language Magic couldn't be scheduled for the time being. Someone who had just settled down was thinking about the next move and making corresponding arrangements.
As for Ezio, he was only three or four years old. Even if he had to practice early, too early would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. From time to time, he would pester Augustus or Halloumi, and had a lot of fun all day long.
And such leisurely days didn't last long. The Magician Balta, whom he had met on the Sid before, came to visit. At the same time, a very formal invitation was sent. It wasn't a noble type of public banquet, but a private dinner.
The invitee was the dean of an academy, the Great Magician Kabanbai, who was also the Magician Balta's mentor.
Next to the inn, there was a very luxurious salon for familiar guests. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, Lin invited him to drink some wine and inquire about some information. At the very least, he had to find out the background of the invitee first.
After drinking a few glasses of wine that was no different from boiling water, Balta showed a very satisfied expression and almost buried his whole body into the sofa. Because it was his own teacher, there was nothing to hide. Instead, he had to find a way to make the old man proud. Since this distinguished guest had asked, Balta of course flattered him in all kinds of ways.
If one were to talk about the top Magicians in the Holy City, the six Tower Masters were undoubtedly in the first echelon. Just for the sake of the six Magic Towers, no one dared to say that they were not qualified to stand at the top. But there were different opinions about who was in the second echelon. The Great Magician Kabanbai was in such a position and could be said to be one of the least controversial people.
And in addition to his superb magic attainments, the number of apprentices he had was also one of the top in the Holy City. Of course, he had taught many apprentices. Although their strength varied, their character was not bad. It could be said that if there was an excellent teacher award in the Holy City, it would definitely be given to him.
Secondly, the academic atmosphere in the Holy City had been quite vigorous since the past. In the past, it was common to see a Magician leading a large group of apprentices, either on an adventure or into the mountains to explain what they had seen. A group of people would sit on the ground and talk about the true essence of magic or the principles of how everything worked. It sounded like the atmosphere of ancient Greece on Earth.
At that time, although browsers were not widely used in the Holy City, the powerful Magicians all tried to get a browser magic stone for themselves. These people paid special attention to the Xijia District, and even to the actions of a certain person.
And what completely changed the atmosphere of the Holy City was the Orange Eaton Academy set up in the Wulian City of the Xijia District in the southwest peninsula. A group of Magicians who liked to teach others, as well as a group of apprentices who were thirsty for knowledge, discovered that education could be done in this way.
Just before a certain person completely lifted the restrictions on the sale of browsers in various districts and set up the Charlie Richard Foundation in various districts, as well as academies for beginner magic, the Holy City began to use the same or similar system to set up private academies. Magic knowledge was protected, but there were no rules and regulations.
These academies in the Holy City were not only satisfied with the education of beginner magic, but also where many Magicians sought more advanced knowledge from more knowledgeable people.
Some Magicians who loved adventure and battle were impatient with the burden of apprentices. The emergence of academies allowed them to happily hand over the most troublesome initiations to the teachers in the academies, and then indulge themselves to their heart's content.
Some Magicians who did not like things that were too dangerous and just wanted to study knowledge in peace originally regarded the tuition fees paid by apprentices as an important source of income. At first, they were extremely resistant to the organization of academies that came forward to steal their rice bowls.
Later, they found that if they joined the academies as teachers, they might be able to receive less than half of the tuition fees from an apprentice, but there were many of them. They could take in 20 or 30 people at a time, and the more ruthless ones could take in 50 or 60 people at a time. Squeezing into a small class to teach, they received much more than before.
Secondly, they were not the only teacher in an academy. When they were not free, there were always others who could help. The students were not like in the past, where they relied on the teachers for food and shelter. There were specialized people in the academy who were responsible for taking care of the students' daily life. This meant that as teachers in the academy, they would have much more time to themselves than when they were specifically watching one or two children.
These major discoveries made this group of Magicians the backbone of the academy's teachers. Even a group of people who were afraid of death sharpened their heads and wanted to drill into the academy.
