Li stretched lazily.
The sun was still good today, and it felt like it was burning on the body. A lady from an aristocratic family would not normally go out in this kind of weather, but it was just right for her, as it could make the hair on her tail fluffy and soft.
Since returning from Fenghua County, Xia Fan has stayed in the Princess Villa temporarily, saying that he wanted to further study the earthquake technique while the people in the Privy Council Palace were not all there yet. In order to avoid leaking the secret, the princess's territory was chosen.
She didn't mind where she lived. The outside was clean and the inside was lively. For example, using a piece of dried meat and natural magic, the dog demon can reveal its true colors.
As for his companions, the other two strange ghosts and monsters, not only did they not mind her doing this, but they would also watch it quietly from the sidelines. Sure enough, dogs are a species that represents innocence and stupidity everywhere.
After one side of her tail was burned, she turned over and exposed the other side to the sun.
Li had never cared about the condition of his tail before. After all, in most cases, it was his hidden weapon, and it didn't make much difference whether it was dirty or clean.
As a demon trait, she even disliked the tail for a while.
It wasn't until her master taught her the meaning of nature that she changed her mentality, but she didn't think it was that beautiful - only animals use fur to express themselves, and she is a demon, more intelligent than most humans, and has The advantage is not in superficial appearance either.
However, some people are very fond of it.
Although Li couldn't understand the other person's preferences, it still made her pay attention to the state of her tail inadvertently.
Fortunately, Xia Fan is a human with a strong temperament.
If she was good at Kanshu, she would wonder if she had been affected.
Of course, the other party is far more eccentric than this, such as his current research on alchemy.
Generally, alchemists usually start from the aspects of medicine and talismans when researching magic techniques. In the words of her master, the material is the surface and the talisman is the inside. This means that as long as the ingredients of the primer are clearly explained, it will not make much difference to whoever uses it, because it represents the appearance of the world and everyone can understand it.
The talisman is different. Its drawing often differs from person to person. After all, everyone has a different understanding and imagination of the principles of magic. The more they use it, the more obvious the differentiation becomes.
Therefore, personal research on alchemy will focus more on "li" because it is low-cost and easy to verify. The improvement of "tables" is often carried out jointly by the Academic Department, Finance Department and Recording Department of the Privy Council.
As for personal research methods, there are too many. Since it is a description of the principle, it is natural to try all the guesses. The master even called this improvement a gambling talisman - just like the gambling stone of the Qibao merchant, if you hit it, you will make a profit.
However, no matter what kind of research it is, either prepare a lot of medicine, or put ink, cinnabar and a thick stack of paper. This was the first time Li had seen someone with nothing like Xia Fan.
No, it can't be said to be empty. At least he carried two four-foot-long red copper poles back from the blacksmith shop. Just transporting them to the villa made Xia Fan sweat.
What's even more exaggerated is that he also found an ax and a saw and started doing carpentry work by himself.
What kind of alchemy research is this
Suddenly, Li's ears perked up.
She turned her head and saw Princess Guangping appearing at the door of the courtyard.
This place is only a hundred steps away from the palace, so it's not strange for her to come and take a look, but according to the awkward etiquette of humans, the royal family rarely visits the residence of its subjects without notifying it first.
Even if the entire villa belongs to someone else.
Unexpectedly, Li stood up and bowed to the princess. This gift does not mean that she is surrendering to the princess, but it is for Xia Fan's sake.
The third princess didn't mind her identity as a demon. In other words, since she learned that demons were likely to be born from humans, her attitude towards demons had improved a lot. Li Neng could clearly feel this.
It was as if the princess had experienced a similar situation.
This made Li quite confused.
However, the other person was not Xia Fan. She was far from familiar with the princess enough to ask about private matters.
"What is Xia Fan doing?" Ning Wanjun walked to Li and asked. Following her was still the maid named Qiu Yue.
"Studying alchemy..."
Li hesitated for a moment. To be honest, even she herself didn't believe what she said.
"Oh, are you using copper rods to train yourself and strengthen your Qi?" The princess believed it, "This method is somewhat similar to my practice."
The fox demon blinked.
Do these two people understand what a sorcerer is
"My maid, you don't think he wants to charge into the battle," Qiu Yue muttered, "The stick can also be used as a spear, what are those wood used for? My maid, look... This Young Master Xia just wants to find something for himself. Fun.”
"Maybe it's... a special research method?" Li wanted to clear Xia Fan's name, but he was really unsure.
"Your Highness, why don't you go and ask?"
"No - occasionally guessing the listener's thoughts is a good pastime." Ning Wanjun actually dragged a chair and sat down next to Li, "I have always been a little concerned about it. Since they mean the extraordinary, they are different from ordinary people." How big is the gap between the alchemists? If I can guess his thoughts, does it mean that I have reached that level?"
"Your Highness, thoughts that can easily make people crazy are generally unimaginable." Qiuyue held up a paper umbrella and covered the princess's head.
Li's ears twitched.
listener? what is that
The person involved, Xia Fan, did not stop his work at all because of the arrival of the princess. He did not even bow his hands and gave a salute, concentrating on sawing the wood blocks.
Soon a wooden frame to hold the copper rods was assembled.
It can be seen that he did not have much experience in carpentry before. The shelf was shaved crookedly, and it was obviously impossible to use it as furniture.
The two copper rods were placed horizontally at the top, parallel to each other, with only a palm's width between them.
"My maid guesses that this is probably a target for lightning?" Qiuyue pondered.
"It's rare to see you say something reasonable." Ning Wanjun said thoughtfully, "But I still think it is a training tool, such as one that can be placed on the shoulders to increase the weight."
Then she looked at Li, "What do you think?"
The fox demon frowned in embarrassment. She thought that her understanding of Fang Shu was far better than the two people in front of her, but she really had no clue what Xia Fan was messing with at the moment. "Maybe... that copper-wood frame is the introduction to a new earthquake technique?"
At this moment, Xia Fan suddenly looked in the direction of the three of them, "Your Highness, if the research results in damage to the courtyard wall, you won't blame me, right?"
"It doesn't matter, I can still afford to build a wall." Ning Wanjun nodded.
After getting the princess's reply, he activated his shock technique.
Different from all previous shock techniques, this time he held his hand tightly on the end of a copper rod.
I saw a dazzling flash of light suddenly emerging from the copper rod. The dazzling intensity almost overwhelmed the sunlight above my head, and it was clearly visible even in broad daylight.
Then there was a series of violently beating sparks, which bloomed along the copper rod, but made a sharp roar that was inconsistent with it - as if it was not a spark, but a furious thunder!
Just as the electric light flashed, something was pushed out violently. In fact, Ning Wanjun could not see this process at all. She only made this judgment based on her feelings and subsequent reactions, and the evidence was the dust stirred up on the ground and the traces left on the courtyard wall after a loud bang. A hole in the bottom.
The hole was about the size of a fist, and it was located exactly in the direction pointed by the strange copper-wood frame.
