Master Cohen walked in the spacious and bright corridor of the Magic Technology Institute. Researchers wearing white magician robes came and went around him. From time to time, some people stopped to say hello to each other, and then they went to work together. laboratory.

Cohen also wore the same white robe.

From the entrance of the institute to the front hall, you must take 72 steps. From the front hall to the first practical technology research room, you have to go 100 steps. In the middle, you will pass through three doors and a corridor. Cohen is in this route he has already begun to familiarize with. It’s not too slow to walk, and every step is extremely accurate.

He looked down at himself. The white short robe had almost no decoration. He just had a metal stamped card on the chest of his robe. His card was printed with his own name and a serial number. This is not a magical robe - it is just a robes. It must be said that there is something special, that is, almost everyone in this institute wears similar clothes, and this body Clothes have a very unusual meaning in this land.

This dress represents the identity of the "magician", a name that has never been heard before in this land.

Since coming to this land, Cohen has been working in the Institute of Magic Technology for more than four weeks, that is, more than forty days. For this third-level arcian from Wangdu, Cecil’s life is What he initially imagined was not exactly the same - he saw the powerful ancient arcane master here and saw the legendary pioneer hero. He also saw the magic net, the magic engine and so on. Something magical creation of lost technology, but beyond that, his environment is very different from what he imagined.

This is not a difficult and ridiculous pioneering land. The Cecil people have already rooted here, and the prosperity is incredible, but at the same time it is not a land that follows the classical ritual system - although it is a real thing to build it. The true ancient hero, the rule of Cecil, in the view of Cohen, the master of the king, can almost be described as a deviant.

The vast freedom that civilians have, the second line of the aristocratic system, and the efficient control of the Office of Government... Cecil is in the South of Ansu, but everything that happens here seems to be in a distant story. In a foreign country where he appeared, Cohen thought that he was invited as a mage. He had to study in some ancient relics and books with a musty smell, but he did not expect to be here. The wizards apprentices must learn a set of unheard of knowledge from scratch, and - follow a group of apprentices, craftsmen, and scholars to learn.

In this field, everyone's starting line is the same, and the extraordinary person has no privilege.

To be honest, it was really difficult to adapt at the beginning, but now Cohen is getting used to it. He is not a noble family member. He is not a talented and talented wizard. He is just a lucky businessman. In the circle of Masters of the Kings, he has not enjoyed the privilege of the extraordinary, and it is much simpler to adapt here. And he is more sensible in realizing that one thing, even if things happening in this land are rebellious, he is not qualified to question - because the order of this land was developed by Gao Wen, Cecil, Those in these orders also established the order of Ansu seven hundred years ago.

Nowadays, all the so-called "rules of civilized society" in Ansu are nothing more than the evolution of the words spoken by the ancient heroes in the seven centuries before the long time, so what is the etiquette in Cecil? "Orthodox" is meaningless at all. The words of the founding fathers are orthodox.

Cohen’s mind clearly defined this belief early, but he himself did not know whether this belief was produced after he saw the master of Carmel’s tribute to Gavin Cecil.

In the heart, there was some inconspicuous thought. Cohen came to the front of the first practical technology research room, but before he opened the door, a young girl with a linen-tailed pony tail ran from the hallway and waved in her hand. A roll of paper rolled up: "Cohen! The new issue of Cecil Weekly! I bought it for you - don't forget to come back and invite me to dinner!"

Cohen raised his hand and took the weekly report from the girl, and then agreed to it, then watched the girl happily ran to another research room at the end of the corridor.

The girl, called Media, is a mage apprentice from Kant. She came earlier than Cohen and became a "predecessor" in the Institute of Magic Technology. Cohen’s life in the institute was not hers. Take care less. Media is a passionate girl, and seems to be deeply influenced by the thoughts of the lord, helpful and not many hierarchical concepts. Many people in the institute like this passionate girl.

Cohen smiled and shook his head, looking at the newspaper in his hand and walking into the lab where he worked.

The newspaper, this is also something unique in this land. It has not been seen for a long time. So far, there are three issues, but Cohen is very interested in it. Reading newspapers is not as energy-consuming as reading a magic book. The content above it is interesting and practical, and Cohen sees it as a relaxing reading that regulates energy - he knows that many people in the institute do the same.

And Cohen knows that the projects he and his colleagues in the institute have been working on are also closely related to this "newspaper."

"Cohen - Good morning," after entering the lab, a greeting from the peer was heard immediately. A familiar wizard was greeted with Cohen on weekdays. The wizard saw the newspaper in Cohen's hand. I couldn't help but wonder. "What did you write on this time? I haven't had time to see it yet."

Another magician next to him said with a smile: "I hope to see the sequel to the last issue of "Northern Mountain Forest Strange Talk" - I really didn't think there were so many bizarre legends in the northern part of the kingdom."

“Pay more attention to useful news,” Cohen looked at the magician and raised the newspaper in his hand. “This said that our King’s Majesty has gone to the border to negotiate with King Tifeng – and Gold. Mr. Wen concluded that they will meet next week."

"Oh, this day is still here," the first open magician shouted. "It seems that our King is also very anxious."

"Nobody likes to fight, especially the King's Majesty - he has to put in a lot of money," the second magician said as he laughed. "He rebuilt his silver castle ten years ago." Savings!"

Cohen didn't participate in the next conversation. He just shook his head with a smile and folded the newspaper into his own cabinet.

In the development of the remote southern frontier, two people who were born as apprentices and apprentices of the mage were so naturally talking about the negotiating of the king and neighboring emperors - and this negotiation was not an old news a few years ago, but What is happening these days, this is really an incredible scene.

The Cecils seem to have been accustomed to accepting all sorts of incredible things, but it may take a little time for his magician from the king to adapt to it.

At this time, a person walked into the laboratory, and the magical technicians who were talking and sorting out personal items were quiet at once.

It was a girl with dark brown hair, younger than everyone on the scene, even looking just young, with a bright smile on her face, all the way to the wind, but no one in the lab dare It is the same to despise this young girl, including Cohen.

Because this girl, who seems to be only seventeen or eight years old, is the master of the entire magical technology research institute and the heir to the ancient family who ruled the land of Cecil.

“Hello everyone!” The girl happily walked to the center of the lab and waved to greet the people on the scene. She couldn’t see any nobles, but Cohen looked down with respect to others, with a neat voice. Pay tribute: "Good morning, Rebecca girl."

"Well, everyone is not," Rebecca puts his hand. "We continue the project today, and each group continues to test the data and materials that we are responsible for. Bruce, Terry, come over, I have a new idea. Need to verify."

The workflow of the lab worked immediately, and the “teams” of the people entered the work in the shortest possible time. Cohen also went into his own task – he has not yet become a formal magician, but He was trained as an apprentice, but he has a three-level Arcanian qualification. He has made rapid progress in the field of rune logic, so he was qualified to enter the laboratory in advance.

He also cherishes such opportunities.

The Magic Research Institute's "magic research" is different from other places. There are no dark magic towers and gloomy and lonely magicians. There are no war magician apprentices and different magical spell experiments. Here, A large number of technical personnel discuss and cooperate with each other. Everyone's inspiration and ideas will be explored and verified. A large subject is divided into small parts in the laboratory, and then several groups work together to carry out "study". This unprecedented way of studying magic first opened Cohen's eyes, and he was completely immersed in it for a long time—the thought and thought collided, the inspiration and inspiration blended, and everyone shared the knowledge together. Working with a goal is much more comfortable than staying at the Wangdu Masters Association.

Cohen's mission is not complicated - he is responsible for testing which kind of magic can be used to leave a mark on which material and to ensure that the process is reversible.

In fact, most of the working groups in the lab are doing this simple but boring job.

Cohen knows the purpose of this work—to create a “printing tool” that can be quickly plated and reused. The mission is to hang on the wall that the lab is facing the door, and it’s already hung on There are many days there.

So it’s said that the project he is doing with his colleagues has a lot to do with the “newspaper” – the people in the lab are very smart, everyone can think that once their research is successful, this new printing tool can What field is used.

Thinking that his ongoing research can be transformed into a significant new thing, Cohen will feel an unprecedented impetus – this motivation and the memory of the rote have finally mastered a new spell completely. different.

He has the feeling that he is also involved in building history.
