MTL - Weird Wizarding World-Chapter 428 weird behavior
Shelley was still pleasantly surprised, but Colin could no longer hold on, and walked towards the small bed beside him.
"Details, I'll tell you when I get up."
The one-and-a-half-hour-long observation this time has pushed Colin's body to the limit, and the feeling of fatigue from his soul is like a tide, swallowing him instantly as soon as he touches the pillow, as if in a coma.
After waking up, night has fallen.
Shelley was sitting at the experimental table beside him, recording something.
"Snapped."
Colin stood up and subconsciously took out his pocket watch.
"You're awake." Shelley raised her head and said again seeing his movements, "It's almost ten o'clock in the evening."
"It's so late?" Colin was slightly taken aback, and looked at his pocket watch. The time was already 9:53.
Put away the pocket watch, patted his head, and he suddenly said: "I have to talk to my mentor and senior sister."
Usually, after observing farmland pollution for an hour, he usually needs to sleep for about three hours, and then he will repeat the observation and rest in the afternoon.
But no matter what, at nine o'clock in the evening, he will rush back to the wizard's tower on time to deal with the affairs of Tilaimei Plain.
Mentor Atbold and Lilian will be waiting for him at the Wizard Tower on time every night.
Shelley nodded lightly, paused and said: "Let me run for you, you can rest for a while."
Due to the importance of farmland pollution, apart from Colin and Shelley, only the grandparents of Atbold knew about the entire experimental area, but the latter rarely came here on weekdays, and generally only Colin's elemental shadow and Shelley stay here.
Colin has no plans to expose the special resistance to the pollution of the gods until he can grow to the point where he can solve the filthy raving.
But he still has a long way to go to achieve the level of observing filthy ravings.
At least in the recent test, Colin, who was able to persist in observing and studying farmland pollution, couldn't persist even for a moment when he observed the ubiquitous filthy ravings in the world.
At first glance at those filthy ravings, I thought they were black spots like ashes, very common and nothing to be concerned about.
But if you look carefully, you can see countless weird-looking disgusting insects and slippery tentacles...
This may be able to resist and endure, but if you observe it further, everything in front of you will change drastically!
It seems that thousands of pigments are poured into the ocean, dense colorful flowers bloom on the sapphire, or the sun and the moon collapse, releasing endless light and heat...
With Colin's current resistance ability, he could only feel a burst of dizziness. The starry veil faltered like a candle in the wind in the blink of an eye, and then he could only rely on the last sliver of clarity to quickly get out of this state.
"No, I'll go there." Colin hesitated, but still rejected Shelley's proposal.
The mentor and Lilian had been waiting for a long time, especially Lilian, he thought it was better for him to explain in the past.
Shelley didn't insist anymore, but asked him to come back earlier to discuss today's discovery.
Colin walked quickly towards the exit of the laboratory, but met Lilian who happened to be looking for him.
"Senior sister." Walking out of the hidden witch formation, Colin greeted Lilian who flew over,
"Student." Lilian fell down and looked behind him, as if trying to find another figure through the cover of the witch formation, "Did you encounter any trouble tonight? Why haven't you come here so late? ?”
"There were some breakthroughs in the experiment today, which caused me to miss the night time." Colin explained.
"So," Lilian nodded, and then asked, "Can I go in?"
"Of course." Colin had no choice but to open the witch formation and lead Lilian in.
"Is there any important matter to deal with in Tilaimei Plain today?"
"There are no important things, they are just trivial matters, um...the serfs in the Merlin Kingdom don't have much food, so ask the Loen Kingdom for support." Lilian said.
"Has the instructor reviewed it? If there is indeed no food, then approve it."
Lilian nodded, looking around curiously.
Colin basically stays here with Shelley on weekdays. She has long wanted to come and have a look, but Atbold has not allowed it, and she also knows the pros and cons of it, and understands that Colin's time is precious now, so she has not come to bother .
But today I have a legitimate reason, so I can finally come and have a look.
"If there is nothing important, I won't go to the White Tower tonight. Senior sister will go back and tell the instructor later, so that he won't have to wait." Colin said again.
At this moment they walked through the open-air farmland area and walked into the deep laboratory.
"Yeah." Lilian nodded, looked around, her eyes stayed on the single bed for a moment, and then greeted Shelley with a calm face, "Long time no see, Shelley."
"Long time no see." Shelley stood up and came to Lilian's side.
The two chatted in front of Colin.
Colin suddenly remembered that the relationship between Shelley and Lilian seemed to be quite good.
Just came to the Tilemei Plain. Shelley has been busy researching farmland pollution with him, while Lilian is helping him with the affairs of the plain, and there is little time to see each other.
"By the way, senior sister..." After the two chatted for a while, Colin interrupted and brought the topic back to the main topic: "How is the progress of the non-magic stone steam engine?"
"There is not much progress." Lilian shook her head, "We searched all the minerals on the market, but we didn't find any ore that is similar to charcoal and can be burned."
"Without stable fuel, it is very difficult to create a practical steam engine that does not rely on magic stones..."
Colin nodded, feeling a little headache.
There is no coal, and I have not heard of oil for the time being... The significance of fuel to a steam engine is self-evident. Using magic stones and some witchcraft runes can provide stable energy.
But magic stones are things that only wizards can afford, and they don't have the actual conditions to promote them to ordinary people.
‘However, if you really can’t find cheaper fuel, you can only use magic stones to produce various large-scale machinery first, so as to increase the productivity of the Tilaimei Plain. '
After all, these things are only secondary, and Colin left them behind after a headache.
The reason why he is trying to promote the industrialization process now is not to change the wizarding world, but to first increase the prosperity of the Tilami Plain, and then feed back his own strength.
After all, no matter how powerful the industrialization process is, even if every commoner lives a good life, with a bumper harvest of food and sufficient supplies, it still cannot solve the biggest problem facing wizards today—
The war with the gods.
The direct cause of the final outcome of this war is not the middle-level wizards like them, nor is it the hundreds of millions of ordinary people.
But only between the top six supreme councilors and those gods.
This is a desperate fact that Noyce told him, but it is indeed a reality.
Under Colin's careful questioning, Noyce did not explain too much to him, but only vaguely revealed that the current war is the product of a compromise under the mutual restraint of the top combat forces.
The Supreme Councilor couldn't make a move, and those gods could only come down to some clones with limited strength, so it was their turn, ordinary wizards, to fight life and death, barely forming a situation of soldiers against soldiers and generals.
Think about it, reality is not a game, it has always been a high-class horse fighting a low-class horse, relying on its strength to attack its weaker ones, just like Colin is going to participate in a mortal war now, even if the enemy country has countless great knights, so what? There is no need to use a single soldier, and the enemy country that can be killed by one person alone will be defeated.
In reality, if those top-level combat powers can end the battle, it may be the same situation.
As for the production of some shamanic tools and equipment through industrialized thought improvement, to strengthen the strength of mid- and low-end shamans on the current battlefield... This is not completely impossible.
It's just not easy to do. After all, although the development of the wizarding world is not satisfactory in terms of people's livelihood and infrastructure, it is not the case in terms of combat.
Wizards used all kinds of witchcraft in war, not a few.
Alas...it's a pity that this is not a peaceful age.
Otherwise, relying on the wealth of thought I brought from my previous life to complete a complete industrial revolution in the entire wizarding world, I am afraid that it will only take a hundred years to improve the strength of the entire wizarding family and double the number of middle- and lower-level wizards. Not a problem, maybe a lot of top-level wizards will be born because of this...
After Lilian left, Colin continued to discuss farmland pollution with Shelley.
"It's hard to describe the specific appearance of those farmland pollution... If you have to say it, it's like a colorful gray turbid flow..."
Shelley listened carefully.
Now that we have figured out the general situation of farmland pollution, the next step is to start researching ways to deal with it.
"Those polluted turbid currents will actively gather in plants?"
After listening to Colin's description, Shelley asked after thinking for a moment.
"Yes." Colin nodded.
"Perhaps, we can try to take advantage of this characteristic and slowly exhaust it by growing plants?"
Colin frowned, and after careful consideration, he nodded, "You can try this method."
Although I feel that farmland pollution will not be solved so easily, Shelley's proposal is also a way.
"Let's try this method first.
After you have more discoveries about farmland pollution, try other methods based on the new characteristics it exposes. ' added Shelley.
"Well." Colin nodded, "We may not necessarily plant plants, as long as the polluted turbidity flow can actively enter, we can try..."
Another week passed in a flash.
Colin failed to go further to solve the farmland pollution, the main reason is that every time those farmland pollution infects a plant, the part consumed is really insignificant compared to its huge total amount.
The palm-sized soil, in the case of continuously planting plants for a week, only consumes less than one percent of the pollution in it.
However, they did not give up trying to grow new plants, because the amount of pollution that different plants can remove is different, and they may be able to find a plant that is particularly effective in removing pollution from farmland.
It's just that this kind of plant was not found, but Colin waited for a guest from afar.
Wizard White Tower living room.
"Your Excellency Leiden, why are you free to come to me today?"
Colin and this genius wizard sat opposite each other on a soft sofa. On the brown tea table in front of them were two cups of steaming white porcelain black tea.
"I didn't come here specifically to find you, but just passed by." Leiden's words were very straightforward.
Colin wasn't annoyed, he could feel that the wizard on the opposite side was just speaking outright without any malice.
"Stop by?" Colin took a sip of black tea and continued following Leiden's words.
"Yes." Layden nodded, and didn't say why he stopped by. He just asked, "Is Your Excellency Colin interested in having a discussion with me?"
Colin put down his teacup, paused, and said, "Discussion... It's not necessary, it's not in the sky duel field, without the assistance of the wizard formation, it's hard for us to control our proportions."
Leiden obviously frowned, but he didn't force it. He just said: "If you are interested in competing with me at any time, welcome to Meredith City."
After speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.
Colin stood up and prepared to send a ride.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Leiden walked a few steps, seemed to remember something, then turned around and said:
"Is there enough food in the Tilaimei Plain under your control?"
"...I can hold on for the time being." Corinthus replied after a pause.
"When I came here, I saw the serfs supported by your Excellency." Leiden paused, did not comment, but said: "The grain reserves in Meredith City can only last for one and a half years. If you want to come to Tilemie The plain should be similar, your Excellency should pay attention."
"I will." Colin nodded.
Leiden paused, then suddenly said in a low voice: "The grain market in Meredith City has collapsed. Schools and wizards are plundering the grain reserves of the nobles of the kingdom, and the nobles are plundering the grain reserves of the common people at the bottom... As far as I know, Neustadt is no better."
"Your Excellency's Tilaimei Plain, although the farmland has been destroyed, there are not a few grains stored here..."
"You mean, someone in Neustadt is planning to store grain in the Tilemay Plain?" Colin asked.
Leiden didn't answer, but just said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't go so smoothly when I came here this time."
After speaking, he turned around and left.
Watching Leiden's figure gradually go away, Colin's heart gradually sank.
This distinguished and talented wizard from Meredith City, obviously, what he said would not be aimless.
Moreover, if the Supreme Council of Neustadt needs food from the Tilemay Plain, he really can't stop it.
This is Neustadt's golden ears of wheat. According to the regulations of the parliament, Neustadt can expropriate Tilaimei's stored grain at the market price, and the latter cannot refuse.
And in special circumstances, this kind of expropriation will be compulsory, and no compensation will be given.
He came to the laboratory with a slightly irritable mood, but Shelley gave him good news.
A plant called Noflora exhibited strange behavior when it was planted in contaminated soil.
