More than a month passed quickly. During this period of more than a month, everything was quiet.
The eldest prince William continued to save money, King Downers was still seriously ill, and Richard continued to study the spells in "The Chapter of Monroe".
After a period of research, Richard finally learned several zero-level low-level spells in addition to "Phosphorus Candle": flame impact, water droplet condensation, wind barrier, wind repel, wind lightness, The brute force of the wind.
Fire Blast emits a ball of fire that impacts your enemies, dealing damage. Richard has tested it and found that the power is almost like the sudden burst of flames in a wok. If it hits someone, it can indeed cause some burns, but it is unable to kill someone.
After all, low-level zero-level spells are really similar to magic tricks, and their power is often weak. The biggest effect is not to cause harm, but to cause panic. As far as the current era is concerned, when ordinary people see a ball of fire suddenly coming out of someone's hand, they should be no less shocked than people on modern earth when they see someone take out a gun.
The water droplets condense, gathering moisture in the air and creating droplets around them. To put it simply, it is similar to small-scale low-altitude artificial rainfall, or water vapor liquefaction. If combined with the "Fire Blast" above, it is enough to solve the problem of making fire and drinking water when people live in the wild. As for the attack power-sorry, none.
Wind Barrier, Wind Repel, Wind Lightness, Wind Brute Force, four spells come from the same source. For example, flame impact is a fire spell, water droplet condensation is a water spell, and these four are all wind spells. According to Richard's research, the flow of air is used to play some role.
For example, condensing air and quickly forming an impenetrable wall of air to resist attacks is a wind barrier.
For example, condensing air and quickly hitting the enemy is similar to blowing the enemy with a strong wind of level 10 or above, causing the enemy to retreat uncontrollably. This is the wind knockback.
For example, condensing air, strengthening the lower limbs, increasing movement speed and jumping height, and reducing weight, thereby becoming more agile, is the lightness of the wind.
For example, the brute force of wind can be used to condense the air, strengthen the upper limbs, amplify the burst of power, and give the opponent an unexpected blow.
The reason why Richard learned these spells was partly because of their effects, but the most important thing was to try to study the inner mechanism of these spells to achieve their effects.
Flame impact is obviously the combustion of combustible materials and must comply with the law of conservation of energy. Water droplets condense and liquefy when exposed to cold, which must comply with the laws of thermodynamics. The four wind spells are within the category of fluid mechanics and must comply with the principles of fluid mechanics, such as the Prandtl-Grouet law, the Karman-Qian Xuesen formula, etc.
Richard tried hard to explain these spells in a scientific way and then master them. The effect of this was that the spells released by Richard were not as rigid as those in "The Chapter of Monroe".
For example, the Wind Barrier, recorded in "The Chapter of Monroe", is only a compressed air wall about one meter long, wide and over thirty centimeters thick.
But Richard can create a super compressed air wall that is two meters long, two meters wide, and two meters thick. You can even turn it into a spherical or cylindrical shape.
Another example is the knockback of wind. What is recorded in "Monroe Chapter" is to compress a fixed volume of air and launch an impact on the enemy, causing a knockback effect. But after Richard solved it scientifically, he could choose to use more or less air compression to achieve the desired effect.
You can even stack several "Wind Knockbacks" together to turn into "Powerful Wind Knockbacks" or even "Extremely Effective Wind Knockbacks".
It is true that the spells are still zero-level spells, but Richard can make them play a greater role.
Richard believes that if research continues, more can be done.
…
Flash forward, more than a month later.
When the first yellow leaves fell in the birch forest outside Blue Lion City, the black coffin of King Donnas was being carried out of the city. The weather was gloomy and rainy, just like the day he died.
Three days ago.
The sky was hazy, and the silky autumn rain fell, hitting people's bodies with a bone-chilling coldness, like needle pricks. This marks the end of the hot summer and the arrival of autumn.
Since early morning, it seems that due to the weather, the atmosphere in the entire palace has been a bit dull, and something is brewing in the dullness. The falling autumn rain and the sudden drop in temperature caused people to hide in their houses. The huge palace became extremely cold and quiet.
Richard was doing experiments in this silence.
A beaker is placed in a jar filled with water and heated in a water bath. The boiling water in the jar makes a "gurgling" sound and a large amount of white steam comes out. Richard watched from the side, and then heard faint sounds coming in waves.
The first wave came from the king's palace, with sudden wails and panic, quickly spread throughout the palace, and then to the Blue Lion City.
"Dong dong dong!" The door of the independent laboratory was knocked hastily. Richard frowned and shouted "come in". Immediately, Edward staggered in, followed by an old man with a sad face. Butler DeLong.
"King... Your Highness, bad... bad news..." Edward said breathlessly.
The old butler Delong behind him said: "Your Majesty, he..."
Before he could finish speaking, Richard had already raised his hand and said expressionlessly: "I understand."
"That… "
"Let's go."
"Yes." The old butler Delong turned around and led the way. Richard glanced at the liquid that was still being heated, and finally followed him out of the laboratory and out of the palace.
In the cold autumn rain, we walked across the square and entered the bedroom of the king's palace.
Richard saw that the place had become empty. The wine cabinet in the corner was empty and some of the furnishings had been removed. A bed was placed in the middle, and the body of King Donners was lying on it. His skin was purple and turned black. He had been dead for a while.
At this time, there was another person in front of the bed, the eldest prince William, who had received the news earlier and came over. His head was on the bed, his shoulders were shaking, and no sound was made. He didn't know whether he was crying or laughing.
Hearing the sound, William raised his head, with tears on his face, looked at Richard and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, father... he's gone..."
"Yeah." Richard responded, neither happy nor sad.
William was obviously stunned, as if he was surprised by Richard's calmness. He wanted to say something, but didn't say it. He turned his head and leaned on the bed again, and kept saying: "Father... Father..."
Richard stood nearby and watched.
After a while, the undertaker arrived and began to tidy up King Donnas' appearance, which included trimming his hair, washing his body, and putting on clothes and armor. The rest of the attendants also began to decorate the mourning hall: cover the mirror with black cloth or take it off, extinguish the fire in the fireplace, open all the doors and windows, open all the locks, untie all the knots, light the candles...
In this case, William and Richard had to walk out of the room.
At the entrance of the palace, two people stood. A gust of cold wind blew, William tightened his clothes, turned his head and glanced at Richard, his voice still hoarse and said: "Brother, father is dead, we..."
Richard didn't respond. He just looked at the raindrops falling from the sky and said, "The temperature has dropped, so wear more clothes."
"Huh?" William was surprised, and after a moment he realized that Richard seemed to be reminding him in good faith, and nodded in response, "Hey."
"It's going to rain..." Richard said again, as if he had a second sentence but didn't say it. Shaking his head, he stepped directly into the thickening rain.
"I will go to the burial." The voice came from the rain.
William looked and opened and closed his lips a few times, but finally closed them again without saying anything.
