Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 88: I am studying forbidden?

Claude now knows why she has never heard of Mrs. Maria Baron in Whitestag town. She turned out to be from the king. However, she was able to buy the specimen of the Niros Giant crocodile from Sir Fux. Although it cost 45 gold, it allowed Sir Fux to let go and refuse her request. The value is generous and the family is prominent.

From a commercial point of view, the specimen of this Niros giant is not worth forty-five crowns. Sir Fux is also earned by selling at this price. After all, he obtained the crocodile from Borkal’s hand. It only took four crowns. But the problem is that such a huge Niros crocodile has always been worthless. After making a specimen, it will be soft to take the tickets for the Kingdom tour. It is enough for the Sir Fux to show off to his guests for a while. How can he give him a face that earns his face?

And the words of the sorrow that Mrs. Maria said just now can be heard. When she heard that someone in Whitestag town had hunted such a huge Nyros crocodile, she rushed to Whitestag town to find Sir Fux and asked to buy it. The specimen of this crocodile. This shows that Sir Fux also knows Mrs. Maria and knows her details. She may have something to do with her family, so she can't be offended to meet her requirements…

Claude suddenly thought of the big fish eating small fish, the analogy of small fish eating shrimp, maybe these people are shrimp, Sir Fux is a small fish, the lady Maria is in front of the big fish, or unobtrusive. It was just Claude who couldn't understand why the Nyros crocodile caught her attention and the king had specially rushed back.

UhI also don't think I will see this crocodile here. To be honest, I was shocked. It’s just that I don’t know why you want to go to Wangdu for this crocodile. Would you like to take it to Wangdu Exhibition? ”Claude puts on a curious baby.

Mrs. Mariah gave him a blank look: "I was not so bored. The reason I bought it was because I needed it. You must not know that the skin of the Nyros crocodile is the best material for making magic books right now. ”

I really don't know, Claude can only nod and honestly admit.

Mrs. Mariah shook her head and said, "I really don't know where you came from, magic, and I don't want to know your magic heritage, because this is a very taboo topic for any magician. But I have to tell you that although you will magic, but you don't understand the development of the world's magic, you don't know a lot of magic common sense…"

Well, Claude had to admit that she made sense. The lady, Mrs. Maria, spoke very straightforwardly, and said what she thought in her heart, not at all like nobility, talking with a turn. However, this also shows that Claude lacks access to outside information. As Mrs. Maria said, Sterling X let the registered magician put more than two hundred bright pearls at the revival festival to make Wang Ting a night-time palace. No news can be seen in any newspaper…

This is also the biggest shortcoming of a small place like Whitestag town. Although it can hide its own magician identity, there is no way to know the changes in the external magic information and situation. For the first time in his heart, Claude had the idea of going to the king to look at it. He wanted to see what Mrs. Maria said about magic.

"Sorry, ma'am."Claude thought about it and thought that he could say something, and he also had a good impression on Mrs. Maria, who is straightforward. "I only occasionally got a diary of the Rune Master, and I only cultivated magic after being curious. In fact, when I was hunting this Nyros crocodile, I just started to practice meditation, and I wouldn’t cast any spells. I learned a few spells until last month. ”

"Wait, what are you talking about as a rune mage? So you are sure that you are learning the inheritance of the Rune Master? ”Mrs. Maria was suddenly a little excited.

Claude shook her head: "Mrs, I don't know if I learned the inheritance of the Rune Master. The master of the diary claims to be a Rune Master. There are several alchemy test notes, and a six-star meditation and five. The magical array of spells, I am practicing according to these records…"

After Claude decided to go back, he tried to fake a Master's diary. It was too fast to say that he had forgotten the land of Master Rands for nearly six hundred years. Only such magic books can be preserved for such a long time. Should I find those paper materials? What should I do if Mrs. Maria wants to see this Master Diary? She can let Sir Fux sell her crocodile specimen to her, she can't refuse her request…

Just as Claude was suffering, she listened to Mrs. Mariah laughing: "Claude, don't tell me this, every magician's magic heritage is his personal secret. Even if we are registered magicians, we have our own magic inheritance. It is not the harmless spells that the special department of Kingdom asks us to learn. Do you understand? ”

Claude is a little embarrassed: "Mrs, you are my first master of communication, you know that I don't understand these magic common sense…"

"For your youth, I forgive you."Mrs. Mariah laughed again: "Mage Rune, this is the name before the magician was not driven out of the mainland. There were only two Masters at that time, Rune Mage and War Mage. It was only in the battle that took place more than 500 years ago that the battle mage’s casualties were the heaviest. In the end, when the magicians left Freia Continent and retired to Siklos island, there were few remaining war mage.

Nowadays, although the mainland countries have secretly launched magic research and mage training, they have changed their names. They have changed the rune mage into an alchemist. The purpose is different. The alchemist is studying how to use the ordinary people to achieve the magic effect. For example, you will understand, for example, tap water and flush toilet. Should your family be familiar with it? ”

Claude nodded.

Mrs. Maria continued: “Like the former magician, it was a spell or a magical array to achieve water supply and personal hygiene. The alchemist's research is to achieve the effect by not using spells and magic arrays in other ways, and tap water and flush toilets are studied in this way. In the past few hundred years, there have been many studies that are convenient for mortal life, such as paper and printing machines, glass making processes, etc., which greatly improved the quality of our lives…"

Claude's face is so aggressive that these things still need to be studied magically? As long as you have a little chemical knowledge and mechanics, you can play a lot of tricks in minutes…

“In the past, almost all the knowledge and magic books were in the hands of the magicians. After the war, most of the magic books were brought to the Siklos island by the surviving magic masters. Those who stayed on the mainland were not burned or hated by magic. The people of the division gave up, and only a handful of magic books were saved by those who knew.

Only after the bonfires in the mainland subsided the establishment of the countries, people discovered that if they want to make progress in the country, they must study the knowledge on those magic books, so they will cultivate their magicians secretly in order to enhance the country's strength. Of course, this is just a plain statement. In fact, it is just plain, it is only those who are in power to enjoy the convenience of magic and use magic to maintain their power. ”

Mrs. Maria was very thorough and she didn't even agree with her own nobility.

Claude suddenly understood why the arquebus or the rifle was not able to evolve into an automatic weapon such as a submachine gun after more than six hundred years. Knowledge monopoly, six hundred years ago, almost all of the knowledge is in the hands of those magicians, and when the magician is driven out of the mainland, this knowledge is in the hands of those in power.

It is no wonder that when I went to school, I didn't find any subjects related to physics and chemical industry. These were regarded as magic knowledge. Each Kingdom only conducted research in private, and the organization department kept it secret. Think about what is going to school. How does the liberal arts write essays, calculate accounts, buy and sell things, and cultivate bureaucrats, secretaries, accounts, and businessmen. Not to mention the physical science, the best candidate for reserve soldiers…

Lu Dean was in charge of the house, and he was carrying a silver tray filled with exquisite gilt crystal tea sets and biscuits.

"Come with me for afternoon tea, Claude."Mrs. Marianne pointed out that she had invited the small tea table next to the crocodile specimen. She sat down and placed her foot on the crocodile specimen.

"Thank you for your hospitality, madam."Claude first thanked the chair and pulled the chair a little further. He didn't dare to put his foot on the forty-five crowned crocodile specimen.

"Nothing, just step on it."Mrs. Maria said awkwardly.

Lu Dean butler put the crystal tea set and snacks on the tray on the table, and quietly retreated.

Mrs. Maria reached out and picked up the crystal teapot, poured herself a cup of black tea, added milk to it, and then opened a beautiful silver can, and put a small yellow square in a small silver clip into her milk tea: "This is crystal sugar, which is extracted from honey and is the invention of our pharmacist. You know that honey is sticky, and it is very troublesome and humiliating to accidentally get the clothes at the party. It is much more convenient to have this crystal sugar. That's right, Claude, you do it yourself, don't need me to help you…"

"No, ma'am, I will come by myself."Claude poured himself a cup of black tea without adding anything: "I like to drink the original."

Mrs. Maria reached out and picked up a small biscuit and put it in the mouth: "I am really hungry, so I am not polite with you. In order to thank you for your life-saving grace, ask if you have any questions. I will tell you what you can answer. By the way, Claude, can you tell me the names of the spells of the Rune Master? I stated in advance that I am really only curious, nothing else. ”

"Nothing, this is no secret."Claude replied: "The master of the Master Diary I got was just a single-ring rune mage. It was originally a fisherman's child. Because it was detected with a magic talent, it was taken to the magic tower and then trained as a rune mage. This is what the diary says. The few spells described above are the magic hand, the eye of exploration, precise control, decomposition and fusion. After the absence of it, I recorded these five spells. I am now worrying about where there are two spells to look for…"

Claude thinks that these five rune spells are the big roads of the year, and the rune mage trained by the magic tower is nothing like this. It doesn't matter if it is said.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Maria, who heard the names of the five spells, looked stunned and opened her mouth. The bottom of the biscuits did not know.

Claude was shocked: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Mariah came back with a look of excitement: "Claude, you must never tell anyone that you have learned these five spells…"

Claude's face is inexplicable.

Mrs. Mariah lowered her voice: "These five spells are spells that Kingdom has listed as forbidden, and it is definitely not a ban." It is said that even the mage who studied in that special department is rarely allowed to learn these five spells. ”

"What for? These five are just rune spells, used in alchemy experiments…"

"Two hundred years ago, Stellin IV was assassinated. The murderer used a magic hand to stab his back with a poison dagger and escaped. The history book records that Stellin IV was standing behind a stone wall, so no one would have imagined that he would be assassinated. It was later discovered that the assassin used the magic hand to cross the stone wall and assassinate the poison dagger that had already been hidden there. Since then, the magic hand has been included in the ban. ”Mrs. Maria was almost in the ear of Claude to tell him about this King of Michigan.

Claude sweats, he thought that he used his magic hand to do housework. It was a great idea. I didn't expect anyone to use it for more than two hundred years ago…
