In the evening, Roland sat in the office and started to conceive a new outfit.
The pills that appeared in the clear water port gave him a strong sense of crisis. No matter why the church wanted to support him and Garcia in the fight for the throne at the same time, just thinking of the thousands of troops in Garcia's hands made his scalp tingle.
Think of the speed of thousands of steel warriors running out of cavalry on foot, rushing towards him with unstoppable momentum, the thin line of guns is probably difficult to stop. As long as one person rushes into the team, it will cause heavy losses to the First Army.
Fortunately, this kind of pill does not provide the effect of immune damage, and the person taking the medicine is still flesh and blood.
He must need a weapon with a higher rate of fire and accuracy that can fire continuously at longer distances.
Without mercury fulminate as a primer, Roland must find a way to bypass this hurdle and first produce a batch of alternative equipment to deal with a possible crisis.
And Anna's new ability gave him a lot of confidence. Now as long as he can draw the design, Anna can process it accurately, and the efficiency is astonishing - compared to the flintlock gun parts that were forged with a hammer from a blacksmith before, She can now stack several pieces together and cut to shape at the same time.
Universal education and unification of weights and measures are preparations for large-scale industrial production, but they do not mean taking shortcuts. Ana's new abilities are a treasure trove with endless potential to tap. Roland now goes to Beipo Mountain every afternoon to study the use of black fire with her. If there is really no time, she will be asked to practice control and sculpt some gadgets - such as a witch's figure.
Although her skill in carving people is still very immature at present, Roland believes that one day, his bookcase exhibition will be filled with figures of various witches... Probably
He picked out a steel ruler and pressed it on the parchment, and after only two strokes, there was a knock on the door.
If the guards didn't inform, then it's probably a witch who came. At this moment, most of the witches are learning characters and four arithmetic with the book in the first floor meeting room, so there is no need to participate in the basic teaching, and there is only one witch who has time to come to him.
"come in."
Sure enough, it was Anna who pushed in the door.
She closed the door gently and walked to Roland's desk, holding a book with a gold border in her arms.
Being able to borrow the book of illusion that she can only manifest once a day before the book class, I have to say that although Anna is not very talkative, her popularity among the witch community is surprisingly good. Thinking of Nana, who used to stick behind her like a small tail, maybe she has a natural charm to attract witches
"What's the matter? Encountered a difficult problem?"
"Well," she nodded and spread the book out in front of Roland, "here... you said that everything in the world is made of small balls, and these small balls are different, but you mentioned later that they can be turned into... waves? asked Anna. "What is Bo?"
"When you throw a stone into the water, the shock caused by it is a wave," the prince coughed twice, "This is a concept, just look at it, you don't need to go into it."
"why?"
Because I don't understand it myself, Roland couldn't help laughing and laughing. The microscopic quantum field is something mysterious and mysterious. If I knew it earlier, I would not have written this content. Thinking like this in my heart, I can't say it with my mouth, "because the small ball has the properties of waves, and it also has the properties of matter. The same is true for us who are made of small balls, but our mass is too large to observe the volatility. As for the deeper reasons, it will take countless generations to explore." He thought for a while, and then added, "Because this phenomenon has a considerable conflict with common sense, it is very difficult to understand, just like living in It's hard for us in a three-dimensional world to imagine a four-dimensional space. You don't have to take it to heart."
Anna pouted, not seeming satisfied with Roland's explanation, but she quickly asked, "What is four-dimensional space?"
"… "
By the time she stopped asking questions, the prince was already dry. He really underestimated Anna's curiosity*, and if it went on like this, he would have nothing to teach her.
Especially when Roland asked the other party's progress in mathematics, she replied with a relaxed expression: "That is much simpler. Now I am seeing equations and matrices, which is quite interesting."
Much simpler, quite interesting... Roland suddenly felt that the gap between people was too great, how long has it been? In a week, I learned matrix equations from simple elementary functions, and then it was time to calculus. In school, Anna is definitely a formidable academic bully.
And... he's a very beautiful scholar.
Roland looked at the woman who looked down at the book, and was a little lost for a while. Her thin bangs were placed in front of her forehead, and there were sporadic hair tips that fell naturally around her cheeks. He couldn't help but stretch out his index finger, rolled up the hair tips, and gently placed them behind her ears.
She turned her head and looked at Roland with a smile in her eyes. The lake blue pupils were no longer as still as still water, but rippled. They looked at each other at close range until Anna opened her mouth and said a word - no sound, just mouth. Roland still read her lips.
Nightingale is not here now.
The meaning of this sentence could not be more straightforward, and Roland felt that it would be too stupid to pretend that he did not understand. The room was silent, and he could almost hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.
As he approached, Anna closed her eyes, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Roland smelled the faint fragrance coming from her body and gently kissed her lips.
The soft feeling came through the touch, and time seemed to freeze at this moment, and it took a long time to separate.
Before he could say anything, Anna stood on tiptoe and brought their lips together again.
…
"Hey-ha-hey!" Miyue sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes and meditated, raised her hands high, and said something in her mouth.
"What are you crazy about?" Lily asked with a frown, wrapping a towel around her wet hair.
"I'm imagining myself made of particles," she said, opening her eyes. "I'm a particle," and then she pointed to Lily, "You're a particle too!"
"Problem." The latter rolled his eyes and burrowed into the soft quilt.
"Oh, no." Miyue sighed, "I obviously thought everything around me was made of particles, why didn't I evolve new abilities like Anna did?"
"Because you don't believe it at all," Lily said.
"I believe it!"
"You don't believe it," she shook her head, "the only thing people can't deceive is themselves... Although I don't know the reason, Anna probably believed the prince's words unconditionally from the beginning. Of course, she is much smarter than you. , which is the key reason why she can gain new abilities."
"… "
"Anyway, don't think about it, just sleep in peace." Lily spread her hands.
"Don't you wish to have such an ability?" Miyue pouted, "I also want to do more for the prince."
"Evolution to keep food fresher for longer?" She yawned, "I'm not interested. Besides, why do you have to do more for him? Men are ruthless and fickle people, and Echo is an example in front of you."
"I'm not interested, I was so focused during class." Miyue muttered softly, "Except for Ye Zi, you are the most serious."
Lily grabbed the pillow and patted the other person's face, "You put me to sleep!"
