Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 88: I am studying forbidden?

Claude now knows why he has never heard of the Baroness Mariana in Bailu Town. It turned out that she came from Wangdu. However, she was able to buy the specimen of the Niros crocodile from the hands of Sir Fox. Although it cost forty-five kronor, it would allow Mr. Fox 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 crocodile is not worth forty-five gold krona. It is also earned by Sir Fox to sell at this price. After all, he obtained this from the hands of Bokal. The crocodile also spent only four gold krona. But the problem is that such a huge Nyros crocodile has always been worthless. After making a specimen, it will be soft when it is taken to the kingdom tour. It is enough for the Fox in the manor 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. Marya said just now can be heard. When she heard that someone in Bailu Town had hunted such a huge Nyros crocodile, she rushed to Bailu Town to find Sir Fox. Ask to buy the specimen of this crocodile. This shows that Sir Fox also knows Mrs. Maria and knows her details, perhaps with her family, so she can't be offended to meet her requirements...

Crowder suddenly thought of the big fish eating small fish, the analogy of small fish eating shrimp, maybe these people are shrimp, Sir Fox is a small fish, the lady in front of Mary is a big fish, or unobtrusive . It’s just that Claude couldn’t understand why the Nyros crocodile caught her attention and the king’s deliberately rushed back.

"Oh... I don't think I will see this crocodile here. To be honest, I was shocked. I just don't know why you are rushing here from the king for the crocodile. I want to take it. Wang Du Exhibition?” Claude pretended to be a curious baby.

Mrs. Mariah gave him a blank look: "I was not so bored. The reason for buying it is that I need it. You must not know that the skin of Nyros crocodile is the best material for making magic books. Not?"

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 learned the magic, and you don't want to know your magical heritage, because this is a very taboo topic for any magician. But I have to tell you. Although you will magic, but you don't understand the development of the world's magic now, you don't know a lot of magical common sense..."

Well, Claude had to admit that she made sense. The lady, Mrs. Maria, spoke very straightforwardly, and said something in her mind, not like the nobles, who spoke with a turn. However, this also shows that Claude lacks access to information about the outside world. As Mrs. Maria said, Sterling X let the registered magician put more than two hundred bright pearls at the Renaissance banquet to make Wang Ting a night-time palace. No news in any newspaper. To...

This is also the biggest shortcoming of nesting in a small place like Bailu Town. Although it can hide its identity as a magician, there is no way to know the changes in the information and situation of the outside world. For the first time in Claude's heart, he thought about going to the king to see. He wanted to see what Mrs. Maria said about magic.

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

"Wait, you are talking about the Rune Master? Then you are sure that you are learning the inheritance of the Rune Master?" Mrs. Maria suddenly got a little excited.

Crowder shook his 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 the magical array of five spells, I am practicing according to these records..."

When Claude decided to go back, he tried to fake a Master's diary. It was said that it was too fast. He forgot that the Master of Landers was nearly six hundred years old. Only such magic books can be preserved for such a long time. Should I go find the paper materials? What should I do if Mrs. Mariah wants to see the Master Diary she said? She can let Sir Fox sell her crocodile specimen to her, she can't refuse her request...

Just as Claude was suffering, he heard Mrs. Mariah laugh: "Claude, don't tell me this, every wizard's magical heritage is his personal secret. Even if we are registered magicians, There are also other magical inheritances of their own, not all the harmless spells that the special department of the kingdom asked us to learn, understand?"

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

"Look at your youth, I forgive you." Mrs. Mariah laughed again: "Mage Rune, this is the name of the magician before he was driven out of the mainland. There were only two types of wizards at that time. The grammar and the battle mage. Only in the battle that took place more than 500 years ago, the battle mage’s casualties were the heaviest. In the end, when the magicians left the Faurea continent and retreated to Sigros, they were left. There are very few battle 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 ordinary people to achieve magical effects. For example, you will understand, for example, tap water and flush toilets. Should you be familiar with your family? ”

Crowder nodded.

Mrs. Maria continued: “Like the former magicians, they used magic or magical arrays to achieve water supply and clean up personal hygiene. The alchemist’s research is that there is no need for spells and magical arrays. The effect is achieved, and tap water and flush toilets have been studied in this way. Over 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 have greatly improved. The quality of our lives..."

Crowder’s face is so aggressive that these things still require magic research? 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 those magic books were brought to the island of Higlos by the surviving magicians. Those who stayed on the mainland were not burned or were those People who hate the magician are ruined, and only a handful of magic books have been saved by those who have insights.

Only after the bonfire of 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 of those magic books, so they will cultivate their own magicians in secret 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 magic of magic and use magic to maintain their power. ”

Mrs. Maria was very thorough, and she did not even agree with her own aristocratic identity.

Crowder suddenly understood why the arquebus or the rifle was not able to evolve into an automatic weapon such as a submachine gun for more than six hundred years. Knowledge monopoly, almost all of the knowledge was in the hands of the magicians six hundred years ago, and when the magicians were driven out of the mainland, the knowledge was 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 magical knowledge. The kingdoms only conducted research in private, and organized the department to keep secrets. 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 ruthlessly put her foot on the crocodile specimen.

"Thank you for your hospitality, ma'am." Claude thanked him and pulled the chair a little further. He didn't dare to put his feet on the crocodile specimen worth forty-five gold krona.

"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. It is the invention of our pharmacist. You know that honey is sticky. It is very troublesome and humiliating to accidentally get clothes at the party. It is convenient to have this crystal sugar. More, yes, Claude, you do it yourself, don't need me to help you..."

"No, ma'am, I'll 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 help today, if you have any questions, please ask, can answer I will tell you. Right, Claude, can you tell me the names of the spells of the Rune Master? I declare that I am really just curious, nothing else."

"It's okay, it's no secret." Claude replied: "The master of this Master's Diary I got is just a one-of-a-kind rune mage. It turned out to be a fisherman's child. It was brought to the magic because it detected magical talent. The tower was then trained as a rune mage, which was written in the diary. The spells recorded above are the hand of magic, the eye of exploration, precise control, decomposition and fusion. After the absence, the five are recorded. a spell, I am now worrying about where there are two spells to look for..."

Claude thinks that these five rune spells are the big road goods of the year. The trains trained by the magic tower are all the same. It doesn't matter if you say it.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Maria, who was opposite the name of the five spells, was stunned and opened her mouth. The inside 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 all prohibited by the kingdom, and they are definitely not forbidden. It is said that even the masters who study in that special department are rarely allowed to learn these five spells. ""

"Why? These five are just rune spells, used in alchemy experiments..."

"Two hundred years ago, Sterling IV suffered an assassination. The murderer used a magical hand to stab his back with a poisonous dagger and escaped. The history book records that Sterling IV was standing behind a stone. The wall, so no one could have imagined that he would be assassinated. Later, he discovered that the assassin used the hand of magic to cross the stone wall and assassinate the poison dagger that had already been hidden there. After that, the hand of magic was included in the ban. "Mr. Maria is almost in the ear of Claude to tell him about the kingdom of this kingdom."

Claude Khan, he thought that he used magical hands to do housework. It was a great idea. I didn’t expect anyone to use it to assassinate more than two hundred years ago...
