But the other male apprentice who was excluded, Leonardo, looked at the drawings and compared them with his own drawings. He scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed. When he noticed his new teacher looking at him, he couldn't help showing an annoyed look and said: "Maestro, scusa. I couldn't think of such a good idea."
Some people were not surprised by the young man's grammar, which was mixed with his native dialect and Midland's lingua franca. Initially, I had to rely on the translation program to guide me. But as he talked, he became familiar with it, and without any translation, Lin replied directly: "Don't be discouraged, kid. Whether you do many things well or poorly depends on how high or low your vision is."
Looking at Leonardo's puzzled expression, Lin explained: "You see, the so-called creativity depends on your own basic knowledge and coming up with ideas that transcend it. This is a wonderful thing. That's right. But the so-called knowledge is that I have seen the creativity of many people and integrated their ideas into my knowledge, which has consolidated my basic knowledge. Maybe what you have worked hard to come up with is indeed what you have never thought of. Things that I have seen or experienced. But I gathered the ideas of a hundred people, two hundred people, a thousand people, two thousand people, or even many, many people, and selected what I thought was suitable. This That’s the difference between the two of us.”
"What the teacher wants to say is that I need to learn more things?" Leonardo said doubtfully.
Regarding such a question, Lin smiled and said: "Of course. There is a saying in my hometown: Live until you are old and learn until you are old. Not only do you need to learn more and more deeply, but I also need to learn all the time. No one is omniscient and omnipotent. , faced with the endless problems that arise every day, if you have no way to solve them, of course you should ask other people for solutions, or find them in other books. Of course, you should also think about it, rather than simply throwing away the troubles. Throw it to others. Then take your own answer, compare it with other people's answers, see what is the gap between the two, what are the advantages and disadvantages, and then decide the method you will use to solve the problem. The so-called knowledge, isn't it Under such circumstances, we will continue to make progress.”
"Yes, teacher." Leonardo's expression softened a lot.
"Remember one thing, knowledge is power, whether you choose to study magic or engineering. First broaden your horizons, then enrich your knowledge, and finally know how to think. And your own thinking is the most important An important part, this is also the part where you perform best. You like to observe, think about why, and look for answers. This is already a very good trait. Now all you have to do is to know more why and fill in those things. Enter your field of knowledge and become the foundation of everything."
For two girls who were already familiar with their teacher's character, Lin could ridicule them without any scruples. Anyway, these two girls are very naughty now. Without kicking their butts and staring at them, Halumi and Kaya would not move forward at all.
But the new apprentices cannot be treated like this. First of all, I don’t know how high his psychological endurance is. If the other party is not familiar with him, he may take those exaggerated taunts seriously, which will undoubtedly aggravate the injury.
Secondly, my authority is not high enough to speak for myself. He is pointing fingers at the sky and the earth and fighting everywhere, just to show off to someone. As a person who has been baptized by society and has a habit of pretending to be a grandson, even if he now has the ability to resist authority, there is no need to train a child until he doubts his life.
Lead Leonardo in a persuasive way. The most gratifying thing is that he can hear these words and is willing to change himself. There is nothing more gratifying than this. Compared to those unteachable old stubborns in math class, Lin Du wanted to catch them and reward them for their big mouths.
In short, he made this Florentine young man happily go back to check the repair progress of the jacquard machine, compare the design of the drawings, and the operation of the test program, and someone felt happy. There is nothing more satisfying than training a conscious young man to willingly sell his own liver.
The discussion between several women has progressed to the point of preparing to perfect someone's sketch, marking dimensions, plate size and other figures. However, an uninvited guest disrupted their discussion.
Taking away the drawing of the red Suzaku suit from Halumi's hand, Azad squeezed away the girls and sat down on the sofa with a golden sword. On the other end, there was Fen who had both feet bent on the sofa and rested his head on one hand. She rolled her eyes at the rude man. Unfortunately, the Demon Prince never cared about other people's looks.
Looking at the drawings in his hands, he picked up a few on the table to compare them. Suddenly Azad emerged from the paper and said: "These clothes are good, please make me one."
Lin subconsciously asked: "Who is wearing it?"
"Of course it's me." Azad stared at the person asking the question as if he was looking at an idiot, as if the other person's question was very unreasonable.
"But this is women's clothing."
"So it's not possible?" The contempt in his eyes became more and more obvious, and even a little more angry. And the bunch of hair on the head has a tendency to turn red.
Seeing that look in his eyes, Lin knew he could no longer refuse. This person doesn't have a personality that allows others to disobey. Although it may not hurt him, it is not a good thing if he makes trouble. So Lin said: "Even if you want to wear it, you have to make it. If you want to make it, you have to have the materials."
"Materials? No?" Azad asked dissatisfiedly as his hair turned red.
"When someone first came to my house, they demolished my silkworm-raising place. Most of the little cuties inside were killed or injured, and the other half escaped. What do you think?" Lin asked.
Not caring about trivial things does not mean that Azad has a poor memory. His memory and observation skills are so strong that ordinary people cannot match them. So when Lin mentioned what happened at that time, he recalled it clearly. When I fought the lich in the courtyard, the level of danger was different from fighting that man.
The strange thing about the magician lies in his elusive figure and all-round attack method with almost no blind spots. As for the Hakiri, it was not included in the combat power at all.
The lich's fighting method is that of an old-school magician, empowering himself and using force to defeat cleverness. Whenever there is an opportunity, there will be magical attacks with huge destructive power. Azad had killed many such magicians, but in front of the former Demon King Finny Tikal, the Demon Prince hit a wall for the first time.
It's different from fighting against that man's speed. In the battle with the lich, both sides tried their best to break the opponent's defenses. It's a pity that it's still a situation where no one can do anything about anyone. In the process of fighting, accidental injuries are inevitable.
It's just that other people in this family seem to know how to protect themselves wisely, and they disappeared from sight as early as the fight started. So what was destroyed were the flowers, plants and houses in the courtyard.
The silkworm coop mentioned by the magician in front of him should be the insect-shaped monster that was affected in that battle. Azad pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "It's those little bugs. Are they the material you use to make clothes?"
"Are you surprised when you ask this, or is there a way to solve the problem? But let's talk about it first, even if you catch more magic moths, it may not be useful, you still have to spend time waiting. Because what I really need is, The larvae transform into cocoons of the adult stage. And they are larvae that are raised using special feeding methods."
"Special feeding method? Human flesh?"
"My dear, why did your thoughts jump there? The clothes you are wearing are made of things fed with human flesh. Don't you think it's weird?"
"No. Look at how many monsters have been skinned and made into clothes. Is anyone surprised? Everyone is having fun wearing them, and they also judge each other who wears the monsters that are more advanced and powerful. Bloodthirst has been deeply rooted in the bones of human beings. It’s your nature, because the source of blood is different, it will cause psychological burden. You are deliberately pretending to be stupid to make people laugh."
I can't take this anymore. Lin had no choice but to change the topic and said: "Anyway, if you want to wear this kind of clothes, you have to wait. We have to wait until we resume the scale of sericulture and accumulate enough silk cocoons before we have the materials to make clothes for you. What do you want to do then? Do it, just do it. That’s okay.”
Regarding someone's request to wait but agree, Azad looked at the three women and then Lin with strange eyes.
Lin said angrily: "Don't try to jump in line. This is your punishment for destroying my silkworm coop. Besides, I firmly believe in the principle that he who does not work does not eat. Although having another mouth to eat is nothing, So I’ve never asked you for food money. But it’s hard to justify the effort you put into making this dress if you still want to get something for nothing.”
"Then... what did this one do?" Azad showed a rare sign of weakness and pointed at the lich sitting lazily on the sofa at the other end.
In these days, if he didn't know everything about everything that happened under this house, he was still aware of it. Speaking of the silkworm coop outside the house, the two apprentices are mainly busy. This lich goes to the college to teach every day, and then comes back to eat and wait to die. To be honest, it's almost the same as him.
Lin shook his head and said, "Just because you haven't seen her dedication, it doesn't mean she hasn't done anything. Although Harumi is the one who records the research and improvement of demon moth species, it needs to be obtained from that pile of data." The ability to judge valuable changes or worthless fluctuations is something that even I can't compare to. No one can erase this contribution."
Azad looked at the woman sitting on the other side of the sofa in disbelief. Fen, however, winked and smiled slightly, as if to demonstrate.
Thinking of his equal record with this woman, the premise is that she is now wearing the shackles personally placed by the eight powerful masters. Azad couldn't help but imagine what the Demon King was like in his heyday thousands of years ago; whether he would have the opportunity to play a guest role as a hero.
Of course, he didn't know that Fen's evaluation of him was that she could beat three of her previous selves effortlessly.
However, since the other party still has shackles that can be felt by outsiders, Azad is much less interested in launching a challenge now. He turned to look at the evasive magician and said, "Okay, but we just need a deal. Tell me, who do you want me to kill?"
... "I said, besides killing, don't you know anything else?"
"This is the easiest thing to do. And I have a hunch that even if the other conditions you put forward are not unacceptable to me, they will still be very troublesome. Or should I not kill you as a trade condition? I can accept it reluctantly. , although my life will be less fun, the fun of killing a magician who is known as the best at escaping."
