The next moment, the first thing that appeared in Richard's sight was a bouncing, fat and big gray hare. Then came a monkey, followed closely by a goat, a big-horned deer, then gray fox, bison, wild boar...
A mighty army of animals lined up from the same direction in the forest, went to the edge of the waterhole, drank water in an orderly manner, and then left quickly. There was no fight between them, and they were not harmonious.
Suddenly, there was a trace of confusion in the middle of the queue. The wild boar was pushing forward with its nose, trying to jump in and drink water. But in the next moment, the wild boar's body froze in place, and a pink fist quickly enlarged in its eyes.
"boom!"
The wild boar's entire body shook violently, and with a "thud" sound, it was knocked to the ground. Its four short legs shook wildly, and it struggled for a long time before it stood up.
Pandora stood next to the wild boar, with a cold face, and pointed towards the back. The wild boar chirped twice, lowered its head, and ran to the back of the line in a panic and lined up obediently.
Richard suddenly realized that the harmony of this animal army was based on Pandora's terrifying violence. No wonder...
But... how was the list of water-drinking animals determined? Why can these animals drink water now, but not the cheetahs and black bears just now
Is it because cheetahs and black bears are carnivores? No, the gray foxes and coyotes in the team are also carnivores.
Is it because cheetahs and black bears are larger? That’s not right, the wild boar and bison in the team are bigger.
Is it because the two cheetahs and the black bear are uglier? Well, it might be.
But the most likely thing is that it was the cheetah and black bear who came to drink water for the first time. They didn't know the rules and not only didn't line up, but also got ahead of the animal army, so they were naturally beaten.
Alright alright!
Richard watched the army of animals continue to drink water, shook his head, turned around and walked back to the hill.
Instead of competing with a group of animals for water, Richard used the "water droplet condensation" spell to liquefy some water for himself, briefly washed it, and began to conduct research.
Taking out things from the suitcase in the palace room, Richard read the contents of "The Chapter of Monroe". When encountering some areas that need to be scrutinized, materials will be used for experimental testing. Occasionally when there is a lot of movement, they will be carried out in the open space outside the castle.
After doing it a few times, Gregory from the dragon cave came out with a dark face, watching every move of Richard. After a while, he yawned and said in a buzzing voice: "Hey, kid, what are you doing! Didn't you watch?" Until I'm sleeping?"
Richard glanced at Gregory and said: "I'm doing some interesting things, studying the mechanism of magic."
"What nonsense, I don't understand." Gregory said.
Richard looked at Gregory: "A simple explanation is that I am analyzing the lowest principle of realizing magic. After successful analysis, I can understand many things. For example, why can burning flames be released, why can water vapor be condensed, such as Why you can fly in the sky, why you can switch between two different bodies... stuff like that."
Gregory's eyes flashed and he frowned slightly: "What's the use of this?"
"Of course it is useful." Richard said, "Only when you understand the principle can you truly understand it, master it, and turn it into a part of your own strength. Otherwise... you will only be under the control of others in the end."
"Weird boy, I have never seen anyone do this." Gregory said.
Richard shook his head: "Is it weird? I think people who don't do this are the ones who are really weird and illogical."
Richard asked aloud: "Gregory, if you encountered a strange thing, would you try to figure it out, or would you completely accept it, even if it is extremely unreasonable? For example, one day, you suddenly When you find out you have eight legs, do you think you should have had eight legs and try to live a normal life?"
"of course not."
"That's right." Richard said, "The current situation is like eight legs suddenly growing. No matter what, you have to find a way to figure out the reason. Once you figure it out, you can try to change the number of legs. Back to normal. Or maybe you find that more feet are more useful and you can control the growth of more.
In the same way, if you figure out the reason for releasing the flame, you can release a more powerful flame, or make it impossible for others to release the flame. If you figure out why water vapor can be condensed, you can condense more water vapor, or condense something else. If you figure out why you are flying in the sky, you can fly in the same way, or use some method to make you fall down during the flight. "
"You..." Gregory's eyes widened and he looked at Richard with strange emotions. It was obvious that the boy in front of him looked weak and incomprehensible, but sometimes it made him feel inexplicably stressed. After listening to the other party's words, he was really worried that one day when he was flying, he would suddenly fall down for no reason. It seemed that he would have to fly lower and slower in the future. Heck, is it right or wrong to bring the other person here.
After a moment of silence, Gregory asked: "Are you sure you can really do this?"
"Right now, we are only conducting some basic research. Of course, it is not yet complete, but if there is a breakthrough in the research, it will be fine." Richard said.
"So... you mean, it's of no use now, right?" Gregory asked, somewhat relieved.
"Not necessarily." Richard said, "Research is a long road, and success is not achieved until the end. In fact, wherever you go, there will be corresponding rewards, such as this."
Richard finally chanted a spell quickly, and a ball of blue flame appeared in his hand.
Spell·Phosphorus Candle!
"This is a zero-level low-level spell, used for lighting, and its essence is burning."
Waving his hand to dissipate the spell, Richard chanted the spell again, and a ball of blood-red flame appeared.
Spell·Fire Blast!
"This is also a zero-level low-level spell. It is used to attack. The essence is still burning."
"so?"
"It's the same burning, but why are the colors so different
"How do I know..." Gregory muttered.
"Combustion is a chemical reaction that emits heat and light." Richard explained slowly, "The process is very complicated, but the principle is a free radical chain reaction, and the phenomenon is light and heat. Because the spectra of burning elements are different, the flame The color reaction will be different. For example, the phosphorus candle spell burns phosphorus oxide, so the color is blue.
In addition, temperature has many effects on flame color. When the flame temperature is very low, between 200 and 300 degrees Celsius, incomplete combustion will lead to the production of a large amount of black smoke, and the flame will appear black. If the temperature is higher, it will rise to about 500 or 600 degrees Celsius, and the flame will appear dark red.
As the temperature continues to rise, the color of the flame brightens, turning into cherry red, dark red, and blood red. For example, the color of Flame Impact is blood red, and the temperature reaches 1000 degrees Celsius. "
