Start with Island Lord

‘Gee~’

Rosen slightly increased the speed of the car and stopped in front of the old wizard, blocking his way.

“Master~~ I won’t drive for you anymore, but I am very interested in Master Cavendish’s transformation array. Why don’t we get in the car and talk in detail in the carriage?”

Seeing that the old wizard didn’t say anything, he immediately said: “Not much, just delay you for half an hour?”

In this case, the old wizard no longer refused: “Although I don’t think there is much to say, since the lord is so interested, we don’t mind explaining it to the lord in detail.”

He boarded the carriage.

Rosen, Cavendish, and Alshut also boarded the carriage.

Rosen deliberately lit a light on the top of the carriage to make it brighter.

Rosen first introduced himself quickly: "As a mage, I have always been very interested in turning base energy into noble energy, and I have always regarded this as my highest pursuit of magic."

"But I have only achieved the transformation of base energy into base energy, and because of long-term failures, I even doubt whether I can succeed."

"Now I suddenly heard that someone can successfully transform base energy into noble energy, which shocked me and made me admire it very much, and I regained my confidence."

The three mages were all stunned.

The old mage Gos hurriedly asked: "Bad energy into base energy? How to transform?"

When Rosen saw that the old mage was interested, he immediately knew that there was a chance: "It's just flame into lightning, light into lightning."

When these words came out, the three mages looked at each other.

The old mage was surprised and said: "Flame into lightning, how can it be transformed?"

Lightning into flame, light into light are very simple, but the reverse is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Therefore, lightning is considered to be a more noble power than flame and light.

Especially flame into lightning, which touched Gos's heart the most.

Because he had studied fire magic for a lifetime, he thought that his understanding of fire was far beyond that of ordinary mages, and he also thought that there should be no fire knowledge in the world that he did not understand at all.

But he did not expect that he would hear such news not long after coming to the island.

His youngest son Alshut said: "I have heard of light-to-lightning, but I heard that related magic experiments are difficult to reproduce, and have no practical value, and are not recognized by most mages."

The eldest son Kawendi said: "It can definitely be turned."

"In my opinion, the essence of all power is the same. The reason why it cannot be turned is that we have not found the right method yet."

Upon hearing this, Rosen felt that this magic master named Kawendi should be the most powerful one among the three fathers and sons.

Come to think of it, if he was not powerful, he would not be able to come up with such a powerful conversion array.

At this time, Rosen felt that the old wizard was hesitant to speak, and after a little thought, he knew that the other party should want to see the magic array of fire-to-lightning.

But he was worried that there would be nothing to return after seeing it.

Rosen immediately smiled and said, "Because I have already put these two conversions into practical use, I really can't share the specific conversion array, but I can briefly explain the principle."

"It's already been put into practical use?"

The old wizard glared: "It seems that the baron has gone a long way in the road of power conversion."

He felt that he had greatly underestimated the baron's magic achievement.

Rosen felt the three wizards' thirst for knowledge, and did not hide it, and said: "I found one thing after the experiment."

He paused, and after the three people's attention was fully focused, he continued: "I found that lightning is the flame of order, and flame is the lightning of chaos. And light is the smallest part of lightning."

"In other words, there is actually no flame and light in this world, only different forms of lightning."

The three wizards' eyes widened together.

Rosen continued: "I also found that light may be the fastest thing in the world."

Hearing this, Wizard Cavendish suddenly exclaimed.

"Light has speed?!"

After shouting, he slapped his thigh fiercely.

"Yes! Why can't light have speed?! As long as it exists, it must have speed!"

"%$＃\u0026"

Cavendi kept patting his head with his hands, and a series of inexplicable terms began to come out of his mouth!

Rosen looked at him and said in his heart: 'This guy can actually have an epiphany. '

Looking at the other two mages, they also looked thoughtful.

Rosen waited patiently for a while, and after the three mages calmed down, he asked: "Master Goss, I would like to ask, what is your preliminary estimate of how much money Master Cavendish's conversion array will cost to study?"

This time Goss did not refuse to answer.

He sighed lightly and frowned.

"Very expensive."

"It takes 4,000 Oggs just to reproduce the results of an experiment. If you want to go deeper, you need a huge site and huge resources."

"Even according to the most optimistic estimate, I'm afraid we have to invest 50,000 Oggs every year."

"This is still the price in Kao. If it's on the White Sturgeon Island, the cost will only be higher. And if it's not optimistic, there's no bottom."

"Although your territory is considered wealthy, Baron, I really don't think you can afford this expenditure, and even if you bite your teeth and take out this money, we can't guarantee any results."

"After all, this is a brand new thing. I'm afraid that in the end, I'll spend money and time, but get nothing. I'm really sorry, Baron."

Rosen understood, and from the data marked on the conversion array he just saw, it would cost a lot to achieve it.

It's really expensive, and Rosen also feels a lot of pressure.

He has a lot of income now, but his expenses are also shockingly high.

Just barely maintaining a balance between income and expenditure.

If 50,000 or 60,000 Oggs are taken out to support Cavendish, the progress of other things will inevitably be dragged down.

The key is that everything he does now is very important and will produce practical results in the future.

And the future of Master Cavendish's research is not clear. It is very likely to be like controlled nuclear fusion, which will take forever for fifty years.

If he doesn't wait until the day of success, all his money will be wasted.

Feeling Rosen's hesitation, Goss sighed lightly: "Lord, you don't have to force it. We will look elsewhere."

Rosen gritted his teeth and decided to invest.

Because Master Cavendish's research involves the exploration of the basic laws of the world, even if the conversion array has no results, there will be other discoveries during the exploration.

One of the discoveries may be of great use in the future.

As for the money, it's time to take out the two tons of gold he buried in the mountains.

Of course, he has his own ideas on how to use the money.

He looked at the three mages and said, "In my opinion, this conversion array was researched by Cavendish, and the two of you are just assisting, right?"

Goss nodded: "Yes. I originally mainly studied the Flame Thunder Artifact, which King Danger has been working on."

"Now the entire Wit Continent is working on this powerful flame artifact. I am also working on it, and I have some experience, but I think no matter how well this thing is made, it is just a killing weapon, and its significance is far less than Cavendish's conversion array."

Rosen sighed: 'It's really a pillow when I'm sleepy. I'm just short of a cannon expert who can take the lead, and here comes one. '

"What about you, Master Alshut?"

"I am my father's helper. He studies the artifact itself, and I study the projectile. The projectile is the thing that the flame thunder sends out to attack the enemy."

He was worried that Rosen didn't understand, so he gestured with his hands to explain the flame thunder.

Rosen smiled and said, "I roughly know what the Flame Thunder looks like. The main body should be a metal tube with one side closed, and then the projectile is stuffed into the opening, and then the flame is used to propel the projectile, right?"

Alshut nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes~~ The Baron is really knowledgeable."

Since it has come to this point, Rosen will not talk nonsense and go straight to the point.

"Three respected mages, let me be honest, I am very interested in your research, and I am willing to invest huge funds to support you."

He did not wait for Goss to object, and looked at the old mage first: "Master, if you are worried that my money will be wasted, why not help me study the Flame Thunder Artifact with Master Alshut."

He immediately added a sentence without waiting for the other party to refuse.

"I can see that you two can't help Master Cavendish much in the research of pure force conversion array, right?"

Master Goss swallowed back the words that rushed to his mouth, because he knew that Rosen was right.

He has two sons, and the talent of the youngest son can only be said to be above average.

But this eldest son is really a genius, the wisest wizard he has ever seen, and has always been the pride of his heart.

This time, in order to help his eldest son realize his life ideal, he first fought with Marquis Henry. After trying every means to get support but failed, he gritted his teeth and gave up the lifelong treatment provided by the Marquis.

Now, Rosen, the island baron, can see the extraordinaryness of his eldest son at a glance, and the old wizard thinks that this baron is very insightful.

In addition to the previous communication, he was also very interested in the knowledge of flame turning into lightning, and wanted to find out.

So, he was reluctant to leave.

After a moment of silence, he expressed his last worry: "Baron, you have extraordinary insight and are willing to invest huge funds to support, I am very happy."

"I am afraid that other people on the island will be dissatisfied because of this. After all, this money is really not a small amount."

Of course, Rosen can't say that he has a windfall.

In order to boost the other party's confidence, he waved his hand and said, "I have the final say on this island, and most of the money is earned by my own strength."

"You may not know that I am actually very proficient in transfiguration. Using this skill, I can earn a lot of gold coins a year."

"In addition, my wife is the Princess of Dawn, and I believe you all know it."

"My wife's dowry is a huge and rich sea area, and I am about to conquer this sea area. By then, the territory's income will increase significantly."

"I can guarantee that if the three of you stay on my island, I am willing to invest 30,000 Oggs in research funds for the Flame and Thunder Artifact every year. As for the research on Master Cavendish, I will provide 20,000 Oggs in the first year, and then increase it year by year."

The artillery must be put on quickly, otherwise the naval battle will be beaten in the future, so the investment must be increased.

Cavendish's transformation research may not see results in the short term, and can only be a long-term investment.

Although he really wants to support Cavendish at a high price, as a lord, he still cannot be completely willful. 20,000 Oggs in the first year is his current limit.

Of course, if Cavendish can make rapid progress in subsequent research, he will have to invest heavily in him even if he has to tighten his belt.

Seeing that the old wizard's face was not very good, Rosen immediately added: "In addition, I am willing to share with you the island's unique magic knowledge, such as the conversion between light, flames, and lightning."

After hearing this, the three wizards looked at each other.

Alshut said: "Father, the baron is much more generous than the marquis. He only gave 10,000 for the research on fire and thunder, and he is not even willing to pay for my brother's research, otherwise..."

"Shut up!"

The old wizard looked at Cavendish: "What do you say?"

Cavendish turned to Rosen: "Baron, you just said that light has a speed, so what is the speed of light?"

"About 300,000 kilometers per second."

Cavendish was shocked: "So fast? How did you measure it?"

Rosen really has a way: "It has been measured and calculated."

"Can it be calculated?"

"Yes, it can be calculated. It is part of my research on lightning."

Cavendish immediately turned to look at Goss, with a firm face: "Father, that's it!"

"Are you sure?"

Cavendish nodded: "Yes, because if I want to make great progress in my research, I need not only experiments, but also the assistance of new knowledge, especially new knowledge that deeply understands the laws of the world."

"Obviously, the baron can provide great help in this regard."

In this case, the old wizard has nothing to say.

"Baron, then sign the contract as you said."

Rosen was secretly happy: 'Master Luwakado is really a good advertisement for me! '

Goss and Alshut can be of great use now.

And a genius like Cavendish who explores the laws of the world is a great treasure that can truly rewrite the destiny of the human race. It is a super SSR character.

It may cost a lot of money to raise it in the early stage, but the growth potential in the later stage is absolutely explosive.

Now that he has it, he is so happy that he just wants to dance.

Of course, although talents are precious, it is ridiculously expensive to raise them, and it is more difficult to raise them than princesses.

The triangular sea strategy must be followed up immediately.
