However, the other male apprentice who was excluded, Leonardo, stuck his head out to look at the sketches and compare them to his own. He scratched his ears and cheeks in embarrassment. When he noticed that his new teacher was looking at him, he couldn't help but show an annoyed expression and said, "Maestro, scusa, I can't think of such a good idea."
Lin Li wasn't surprised by this young man's mixture of his hometown dialect and the common language of the Underworld. At first, he had to rely on the translation program to guide him. But as he spoke, he became familiar with it and didn't need any translation. Lin directly replied, "Don't be discouraged, kid. Many things are good or bad, depending on how high or low one's vision is. "
Looking at Leonardo's puzzled expression, Lin explained, "You see, the so-called creativity is based on your own basic knowledge. You can come up with ideas that are beyond what you already have. This is a very beautiful thing, no doubt about it. But so-called vision is that I've seen many people's creativity and integrated their ideas into my knowledge, solidifying my basic knowledge. Maybe the things you try to think of are things you've never seen or experienced before. But I've gathered the ideas of 100, 200, 1000, 2000, and even many more people, and I've chosen what I think is suitable. This is the difference between the two of us. "
"Teacher, are you saying that I still have to learn more?" Leonardo asked in confusion.
Lin smiled at such a question. "Of course. There's a saying in my hometown: You're never too old to learn. Not only do I have to learn more and go deeper, but I also have to learn all the time. No one is omniscient and omnipotent. Faced with endless problems every day, if you can't solve it yourself, of course, you have to ask others for advice or find a solution from other books. Of course, you have to think about it yourself and not just throw the trouble to others. Then, you have to compare your own answer to others' and see the difference between the two, how good it is, and how bad it is. Then, you can decide what you want to use to solve the problem. The so-called knowledge, isn't it, is constantly improving under such circumstances? "
"Yes, teacher." Leonardo's expression softened a lot.
"Remember one thing: Knowledge is power, whether you choose to study magic or engineering, it's the same. First, he had to broaden his horizons, then enrich his knowledge, and finally, he had to learn how to think. And your own thinking is the most important part. This is also the part where you perform the best. You like to observe, think about why, and search for answers. This is already an excellent trait. Now, what you need to do is to find out more about why and fill those things into your field of knowledge to become the foundation of everything. "
To the two girls who were already familiar with their teacher's character, Marco Lin didn't hesitate to ridicule him. In any case, the two girls were quite mischievous now. If he didn't kick their butts while staring at them, Hallumi and Kaya wouldn't move forward at all.
However, the same couldn't be said for new apprentices. First of all, he didn't know how high his mental endurance was. In a situation where the other party wasn't familiar with him, it was possible that he would take those exaggerated mockery seriously. This would undoubtedly aggravate the damage.
Secondly, his authority wasn't high enough to make him a man of his word. Who was he trying to show his attitude of pointing at the sky and cursing the earth and fighting everywhere? As a person who had been baptized by society and was used to pretending to be a grandson, even if he now had the ability to resist authority, there was no need to teach a child to the point that he doubted life.
He guided Leonardo in a patient and patient manner. The most comforting thing was that he was willing to listen to these words and was willing to change himself. There was nothing more comforting than this. Compared to the stubborn old fogeys in math class who didn't want to be taught, Lin wanted to catch them and give them a few slaps.
In short, he coaxed this young man from Florence into happily going back to check the progress of the jacquard machine's repair, comparing the design of the blueprints, and the operation of the test program. A certain someone felt happy. There was nothing more delightful than teaching a young man who had self-awareness and was willing to sell his own liver.
The discussion of the girls had progressed to the point where they were ready to perfect a certain someone's sketch and mark the size, plate size, and other numbers. But at this moment, an uninvited guest interrupted their discussion.
Taking the sketch of the red Vermilion Bird suit from Halumi, Azad squeezed through the girls and sat down on the sofa. On the other side was Fen, who had both her feet on the sofa and one hand on her head. She rolled her eyes at this rude man. Unfortunately, the Magic Prince never cared about other people's looks.
Looking at the sketches in his hand, he picked up a few on the table and compared them. Suddenly, Azad popped his head out of the sketches and said, "These clothes are good. Make one for me."
Lin subconsciously asked, "Who's wearing it?"
"Me, of course." Azad stared at the person who asked the question as if he was looking at an idiot, as if the other person's question was very unreasonable.
"But it's women's clothing."
"So it's not okay?" The contempt in his eyes was even more obvious, and there was even a hint of anger. And the tuft of hair on his head was about to turn red.
Seeing that look, Lin knew that he couldn't refuse anymore. This person wasn't someone who would allow others to disobey him. Although he might not be able to hurt him, it wouldn't be good if he made a scene. So Lin said, "Even if you want to wear it, you have to be able to make it. If you want to make it, you have to have the materials. "
"Materials? You don't have any? "Azad asked unhappily as the redness in his hair subsided.
"When someone first came to my house, they tore down the place where I raised the silkworms. Most of the little cuties inside were killed or injured, and a small number ran away. What do you think? "Lin asked.
Not caring about trivial things didn't mean that Azad's memory was bad. His memory and observation skills were so strong that it was hard for ordinary people to reach. So when Lin mentioned what happened back then, he remembered clearly. When he fought with the Lich in the courtyard, the level of danger was different from the battle with the man.
The strange thing about Mages was that they appeared and disappeared unpredictably, as well as their omnidirectional attacks that had almost no blind spots. As for the Cassette Cutting, it didn't count as a combat power at all.
The Lich's fighting style was the old-school Mages' fighting style. It buffed itself and used force to break through techniques. As long as there was a chance, it would mix in a destructive magic attack. Azad had killed many Mages like this, but this was the first time the Magic Prince had run into a wall in front of the former Demon King, Fanny Tikal.
It was different from the battle with the man. In the battle with the Lich, both sides gave it their all, hoping to break the other's defenses. Unfortunately, it was still a situation where neither side could do anything to the other. And in the process of fighting, it was inevitable that there would be accidental injuries.
It was just that the other people in this family seemed to know how to protect themselves. They had already run away when the fight started. So the only things that were destroyed were the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
The silkworms that the Mage in front of him mentioned were probably the bug-like magical beasts that were affected in the battle. Azad pouted and said unhappily, "It's those little bugs. Are those the materials you use to make clothes? "
"Are you surprised by this, or do you have a way to solve the problem? But let me say this first, even if you catch more moths, it won't be useful. You'll still have to wait. Because what I really need is a cocoon that can transform from a larva to an adult stage. And a larva that can be raised with a special feeding method. "
"Special feeding method? Human flesh? "
"Oh my, why are your thoughts jumping to that. The clothes you're wearing are made from human flesh, don't you think it's weird? "
"No, it's not. Look at how many magical beasts have been skinned to make clothes, does anyone think it's weird? Everyone is still wearing them happily, and even judging each other to see who's wearing the more advanced and powerful magical beasts. Bloodlust is already ingrained in human nature, because the source of blood is different, it creates a psychological burden. You're pretending to be stupid to make people laugh. "
He couldn't continue. Lin could only change the topic and say, "Anyway, if you want to wear this kind of clothes, you'll have to wait. You'll have to wait until we restore the scale of the silkworms and accumulate enough cocoons to make clothes for you. When the time comes, you can do whatever you want. How about this? "
Azad looked strangely at the three women and then at Lin at the request of having to wait even though he had agreed.
Lin said unhappily, "Don't even think about cutting in line, this is your punishment for destroying my silkworm hut. Besides, I deeply believe in the principle that those who don't work don't eat, although one more mouth to feed is nothing, so I've never asked you for money. But if you want to reap without sowing after putting in the effort to make this set of clothes, that's not right. "
"Then … what did this one do?" Azad's aura was unusually weak, and he pointed at the Lich sitting lazily on the other end of the sofa.
Even if he didn't know everything that had happened in this room these days, he had at least seen seventy to eighty percent of it. When it came to the silkworm hut outside, the two apprentices were the ones who were busy. This Lich went to the academy to teach every day, and then came back to eat and wait for death. If you really wanted to talk about it, she was pretty much the same as him.
Lin shook his head and said, "You didn't see what she put in, but that doesn't mean she didn't do anything. Although Halloumi was the one who kept the records on the research and improvement of the magic moth species, I can't even compare to her when it comes to judging valuable changes or worthless fluctuations from that pile of data. No one can take away this credit. "
Azad looked at the woman sitting on the other end of the sofa in disbelief. Fen threw him a flirtatious glance and smiled faintly, as if she was demonstrating her power.
He thought of the tie he had with this woman, but the premise was that she was shackled by the eight Lords of Power. Azad couldn't help but imagine what kind of existence the Demon King was a thousand years ago, and wondered if he had the chance to play the role of a hero.
Of course, he didn't know that Fen's evaluation of him was that she could take on three of his old self without breaking a sweat.
However, since the other party was still shackled by the shackles that even outsiders could sense, Azad's desire to challenge her now faded a lot. He turned to look at a certain mage who was making excuses and said, "Alright then, but I need a deal. Tell me, who do you want me to kill? "
"I say, don't you know anything other than killing people?"
"That's the easiest thing. And I have a feeling that the other conditions you put forward, even if they aren't unacceptable to me, will be very troublesome. Or do you want me to not kill you as a condition of the deal? I can reluctantly accept it, although it will make my life less interesting. The fun of killing a mage who is known to be the best at running away. "
