He learned that the deal between Fen and Mage Saint Makhtab was in full swing. Lin carried a small can of iced milk and walked to the attic to prepare for tonight's stargazing activity. The gray cat Hardy walked two steps behind him, its tail wagging gently.
In fact, Hardy did not think that drinking milk was good at first. But after tasting it once, it could not help but like the taste. Especially in this hot season, drinking iced milk was a wonderful thing. So as long as someone held a can of milk, it would follow, and it would get a share every time.
Although no one would refuse it if it asked for milk from others, and they would even happily prepare it for it. But when it dealt with others, it would inevitably have to endure other people's hands and feet, and it would not be good to refuse.
So to Hardy, the most suitable person to communicate with was the mage in front of it. At least he would not caress cats or bury their faces in his body. This was an extremely shameful behavior, and he could not escape even if he wanted to.
But when he opened the attic door today, a certain person's habitual stargazing spot was already occupied by Azad. This prince, who had a bit of leisure and elegance in his movements, was peering at the starry sky through an astronomical telescope. The pink hair on his forehead was unexpectedly conspicuous. He asked curiously, "I see that you look at the stars every day, can you see flowers? I can't find them no matter how hard I try. "
"Yes." Lin Shenyin did not answer for a long time.
Azad's eyes were still on the telescope, and he said without turning his head, "What, it's rare to see you have nothing to say. Do you not want to talk to me, or do you not know what to say? Please choose your answer carefully, it will be bad if you say the wrong thing. "
"Yes, I am considering whether to answer you with a magical point of view, a scientific point of view, or my own point of view would be more appropriate."
"What is the point of view of magic?" Azad asked.
Lin came to the telescope and looked through the open window at the sea of stars that was not polluted by light, and said, "There is a point of view in astrology that every star represents a person's luck. Some people's luck is strong, so the starlight is dazzling; some people's luck is weak, so the starlight is dim. So as long as you understand who this star represents, the great can see the changes in the world's situation from the starry sky, the small can see the direction of a person's fate, and thus predict the future of a person or a group of people. "
"Oh, then which star do you think I am?"
After gesturing for Azzad to back off, Lin shifted the telescope slightly and aimed it at the northern starry sky. After searching for a while, he gave up his position and said, "Let's listen to the words of one side for the time being. That shining purple star in the north should be your natal star. Its brightness was so high that it could almost overpower the nearby starry sky. However, the flickering of the starlight meant that your future was still uncertain and your future was uncertain. Other than this purplish red star, there was another purplish red star not far away in the northeast corner. It was bright and stable. That should be your father, the emperor of the Guevana Empire. Most of the auxiliary stars surrounding this purple star were equally dazzling. It is obvious that the officials around your father are all capable officials. What's more interesting is that outside of you and your father, the signs of the Purple Star are not obvious. In other words, it's still unclear who the successor of the Empire will be. Instead, you have a better chance than your brothers and sisters. "
The Empire didn't forbid empresses, and Azzad had many unmarried sisters. That was why Lin was speaking such nonsense. However, Azzad was amused by a certain person's reasoning. "A prince who has been stripped of his right to inherit the throne? That's not funny at all. What do you think? "
"Say, if your Emperor were to suddenly die and you didn't go back and kill all your brothers and sisters, what are your chances of ascending to the throne?" Lin countered with a question.
"In that case, it does seem to be the case. It's just that you want me to shift the focus and go home to stir up trouble instead of staying here. Or is it that these stars are really making such a prediction? "
Lin shrugged with a smile. "Since it came from my mouth, it's my interpretation. As for the intentions behind it, it's up to you to decide. I won't comment. Besides, the future is always changing. It's not impossible that you might deliberately not do so after hearing what I said. That's why I said to listen to it for the time being and not to pay too much attention to it. This isn't a great prophecy spell, it's just a saying from astrology. "
The great prophecy spell was a powerful spell that forcefully solidified the future, but those who used it usually didn't have a good ending. This wasn't because it went against the will of the heavens, it was purely because it was unknown how much Authority was needed to solidify the future that the caster spoke of.
The further a great prophecy spell was from reality and possibility, the more Authority it needed to distort reality. As long as it exceeded the caster's Authority limit, the result would be that the caster would be drained dry and die. If things happened naturally, the great prophecy spell would only need to expend a small amount of Authority to realize the future that was spoken of.
And this very unscientific spell was the subject of Lin's recent research, which was why he casually mentioned it at this time. However, Azzad didn't pick up on the topic at all and directly changed the topic. "Then which star in the sky belongs to you?"
Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky and said dejectedly: "I don't belong to this sky."
His voice sounded like he had a story to tell, but Azzad wasn't the type to care about such things. As if purposely keeping him in suspense, he asked about another matter: "You just said, from a scientific point of view, what do you see in this sky?"
Having his emotions suddenly pulled back, Lin felt a bit suffocated. After taking a deep breath, Lin asked: "Why do the stars move like this? Why is the brightness different? What does it represent? Where is it? There must be an answer to these questions, not a general answer of 'these are the stars'. And using mathematics, we can analyze all of this. Find the orbit formula of the stars, calculate the star's brightness, the size of the star itself, its brightness, and its distance from the maze. Turning this information into mathematics is beneficial for us to predict the next second, the next moment, the next hour, and even tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, what kind of changes this sky will have "
"What's the point of calculating all this? Whether this starry sky changes or not, does your life change or not? "
In response to Azzad's argument, Lin smiled: "Does knowledge have to be useful to be studied? Furthermore, if it's not useful today, how can you be sure that it won't be useful tomorrow? If it's useful one day, but you don't have the corresponding knowledge or tools, won't you feel awkward? "
Ignoring Lin's rebuttal, Azzad asked again: "Then what's your own point of view?"
"I just like to watch, it's none of your business" Lin said bluntly.
After being rebutted like this, Azzad laughed instead of being angry. After laughing for a while, he suddenly changed the topic and said: "I heard that you gave the thing you were going to give to me to someone else. My guess is that you might have an explanation that sounds reasonable. Then the question is, do you think I'll accept it or not? "
As expected, there was a problem related to this matter. However, Lin was not afraid at all and said the answer he had prepared long ago. "Because you don't need it for now, so what's wrong with giving it to Fen first?"
"Oh, I don't need it for now." This was the first time Azzad faced this mage directly tonight, and the tuft of hair on his forehead gradually turned red. He sneered and said: "How come I don't know that you can decide anything for me?"
Without waiting for the Magic Prince to make trouble, Lin spread out his hands and pulled out a large horizontal screen of water mirrors, separating the two of them. The side with words and pictures was displayed in front of Azzad. The content on the screen was actually what Halumi and Kaya had shown when Fen and the others met with the Warlock Sage Mahathab in the morning, and there were even more.
There were seventy-six sets of the original Han Chinese clothing, including the phoenix coronet and robe for women. There were also dozens of magic arrays, all of which were developed by Lin himself and had never been made public. Of course, these magic arrays were not necessarily very useful, and most of them were used to make up the numbers and scare people.
Lin passed through the water mirror and came to the same side as Azzad. Looking at the confused Magic Prince, he said: "Then, Your Highness, have you decided what kind of clothes you want to make?"
The bright red on his head gradually turned to ash, and Azzad revealed a rare expression of confusion. He pointed at the screen that displayed densely packed words and pictures and asked: "What are these?"
"The clothes you want to make, what kind of pattern do you want? Are there any patterns on them that you're satisfied with? And what kind of magic do you want to add? Especially enchantment, this can't be done casually. This is because different magic items with different abilities will directly affect your tactics and tactics, and even change your own original strengths and weaknesses. For example, if I give you a spear and you're good at using a sword, you won't be able to use 100% of your strength. Similarly, when this set of clothes is made, not only will it be shaped according to your thoughts, but your future tactics will also be affected by this equipment. The cooperation between the two must be perfect, and only then can they complement each other. Or can you accept a set of very powerful magic equipment, but the enchantments on it are all things that you can't use? "
"Hmm …" Azzad shook his head, speechless for the first time.
"If you don't know how to choose, then I recommend the first enchantment set, which is the 'escape' set. Like my Black Tortoise Robe, all of the enchantments are related to escape, including the use of illusions to confuse the enemy. "
Azzad's expression froze, and he shook his head stiffly.
"Then the second 'tortoise shell' set is like Fen's Four Spirits Robe, the defensive magic is so strong that even she would have a hard time breaking it."
Azzad still shook his head. This result was not hard to guess, because the person in front of him advocated offense. When it came to defense, he was better at trading injury for injury, and trading life for life.
"Then the third 'support' set is Hallumi's Nine Dragons Robe. But I don't recommend you to choose this set, because you're not suited to use any support magic. Extra speed, extra strength, and extra perception will destroy your current state of balance, and your strength might decrease instead of increase. "
Azzad nodded stiffly, indicating that he agreed with Lin's words.
"Then the fourth 'hide and seek' set? Kaya's white cat robe is specially used to hide her body, sneak around, and is very useful as a thief. Of course, it's also good for escaping. "
This time, Azzad did not shake his head or nod, but the corners of his mouth and the sides of his nose twitched.
