"Three thousand... No, at first there were two, then two, and then four. Ah... As the daughter of the Crystal, I will never raise rabbits in my life! Why should I calculate such a problem!"
Charlotte, who had no patience at all, was finally completely confused, and then she went straight into a state of impotent rage.
"Didn't your mentor teach you various mathematical formulas? Like the formulas for number series?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Formula? I know countless formulas for potion recipes! But none of them are for raising rabbits!"
Charlotte felt like she was in such a mess that a bunch of rabbits were jumping around her head.
"Potion formula? Chemistry... You haven't even established various mathematical models, but you're already messing around with chemistry and physics?" Lu Cheng asked.
"What are you talking about? Our calculation method is enough as long as we can calculate the numbers. Real knowledge can only be interpreted through practice. These unrealistic questions you mentioned are meaningless!"
Charlotte didn't understand what chemistry and physics meant, because these two words did not exist in this world. Lu Cheng used Chinese when he said these two words.
Lu Cheng searched the memories in his mind. The chemistry in this world was more appropriately represented by alchemy. As for physics, Lu Cheng found a term called alchemy engineering.
"So what do you usually learn? Magic?"
Lu Cheng was really curious about what knowledge the legendary secret society taught.
"Communicating with the earth veins, strengthening one's own magic power, and inscription construction are the most basic entry-level knowledge. The higher-level knowledge is alchemy, magic science, and crystallography. Of course, some powerful sages also master the technology of casting golems, just like my mentor, Bayer Walker."
When Charlotte heard Lu Cheng's question to her, she found her confidence again. After driving away the flock of ducks in her mind, she returned to the field she was good at.
"Golem?"
Lucheng can find corresponding knowledge in alchemy, magic science, crystallography, etc., but the term golem casting is obviously beyond the manufacturing technology that this world civilization should have.
"Are you interested? This is not a skill that everyone can learn." Charlotte enjoyed Lu Cheng's questioning tone.
"I just want to know what this golem of yours is used for."
Lu Cheng lowered his voice, and in an instant the question turned from a simple inquiry into an interrogation.
"It's used to carry heavy objects and defend the secret society. If you want to ask how to make a golem, I won't tell you even if you pluck all my hair out!"
Charlotte has already put herself into the role of a groundhog very well, and this time she looked at Lu Cheng with a look of unyielding determination.
The function of the golem is no secret in the Secret Society, but the method of making it can be said to be the most precious secret of the Secret Society. Only a few sages in the Secret Society know the method of making the golem.
As the heiress, Charlotte naturally knew some of the secrets, but these secrets were worth protecting with her life.
"That's all?" Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment after hearing Charlotte's answer.
"Don't underestimate the golem! The golem built by my mentor can kill a human with one foot!" said Charlotte.
"Crushed to death? Why must it be built so huge? And it must be in human form?" Lu Cheng found a lot of useful information after listening to Charlotte's narration.
"We also have animal-type golems."
When Charlotte said this, she covered her mouth with her short hands, obviously realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have.
But Lu Cheng was not interested in these.
"Don't you use golems for production? Like growing food, forging steel, producing magic wands, etc."
This was something Lu Cheng found very strange.
The fact that golems can move means that they have mastered non-human power driving methods.
The first forces used on Earth were wind power, water power, and finally steam, which completely changed the way humans produce and brought about a qualitative leap in human productivity.
The magic power of this world undoubtedly has the potential to replace steam power.
"So you are the layman. Driving a golem requires a lot of magic power. You actually want to use such great knowledge to grow food in the fields?" Charlotte didn't understand what Lu Cheng was thinking.
"It is also a great thing to feed the people," Lu Cheng said.
"We in the Secret Order have no shortage of food, and we are much richer than this barren place. It is really stupid to use such precious magic power to do such a thing."
Charlotte meant it when she said this; this was the worldview she had built.
"Stupid? Then let's change the subject..."
Lu Cheng continued to ask Charlotte for some information about the Gemansis Secret Society.
The final conclusion is... this secret society is a group of idealists. Although they are idealistic, they are not at the level of extreme idealists.
Simply put, because of the existence of magic, every spellcaster in the secret society believes that gods also exist.
They are keen on "communicating" with various things such as the earth, stars, and sky, and the knowledge they learn is also based on this belief.
In addition, the Secret Order is extremely devoted to "elitism", so the population is maintained at around 5,000 all year round. This low population and low demand has caused the various technology trees lit up by this group of people to be distorted to a horrible level.
They clearly possess magic-driven products such as golems, but only a few respected elders or sages are qualified to learn them, so their numbers are so rare that they can be counted on one's fingers.
Moreover, the function of the golem is not used for production, but more for... showing off. In short, it is to show off to neighboring countries.
As for what exactly inscription magic is, or what the essence of magic is, Lu Cheng still doesn't understand.
The questions about the Gemansis Mystic Order petered out as the SUV hit a bumpy, rocky road.
"Where on earth have you put me?"
Charlotte initially thought that this was just a steel cage, but the shaking became more intense.
She realized that the cage was moving, and at a very fast speed!
"Our golem, should we say it's an oil golem? It's more appropriate to describe it as an oil guzzler, um... an oil dinosaur. The oil consumption of this thing is no joke."
Lu Cheng opened the window at the edge of the car as he spoke, and the light from dusk shone into the car through the window.
"The cage is moving? Where did you take me?"
Charlotte immediately climbed up to the window and looked at the scenery outside. From the beginning, she thought she was still in Huiri City.
"Deep Green Plains... We're here so soon?"
Elena looked out the window at the familiar scenery outside. It took her six days to reach this plain from the royal city.
As a result, they completed the six-day journey in half a day using this off-road vehicle.
"If you want to sleep, do it now. We won't rest on the road." Lu Cheng said to Elena.
