Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

Soon, Li Cha walked down the second floor to the lobby on the first floor, and saw a thin old man in blue clothes standing in the distance, looking curiously at the maids who were operating various complicated instruments on the surrounding tables. . And the maids know that the old man holds great power, and they are afraid to get into trouble, so they don't dare to breathe and bow their heads.

"Da da da……"

Li Cha stepped closer to the other party, the old man turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw it was Li Cha, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Hello, Your Highness Li Cha."

"Yeah." Li Cha nodded, and asked directly, "Butler Delong came to me, what's the matter? It's my respected father, King Downers, what do you want to do?"

"Uh..." The old man said, his voice slightly hoarse and hesitant, "Actually, His Royal Highness Richard is not an order from His Majesty the King..."

"It seems that I have the right to refuse." Li Cha said lightly.

The old man's expression tightened, and he said quickly: "Of course, Your Highness Richard, you are the prince and the second heir to the king. Except for His Majesty's orders, you naturally have the right to refuse. It's just...just..."

"Just what?" Li Cha asked.

"It's like this." The old man sighed and said slowly, "His Royal Highness Richard, because His Majesty the Kingdom has been ill for a long time and hasn't gotten better, so His Royal Highness said...that he wants to cut down on daily use. degree, to find a better doctor to treat His Majesty the King.

Although His Royal Highness is just a proposal, he has already started to do it. From today, the cost of his palace has been reduced by one-third. In this case, if your Royal Highness Richard does not respond, it may be that His Highness the eldest prince will not look good, and after all, this matter is for His Majesty the Kingdom, His Majesty's side..."

"Reduce the cost and treat the king? Is the Blue Lion Kingdom already so poor?" Li Cha said, his voice a little cold.

"This..." The old man's body trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his face. "Naturally, this is not the case. His Royal Highness may just want to express his filial piety..."

"Butler Delong, don't say any more." Richard's cold voice sounded, "I know the thoughts and intentions of my dear brother, William Austin. It's just that he is him, I am me, and he wants to express Let him express his filial piety well, and reduce the cost.

Butler Delong, I know you came over to tell me about this, it was a good intention, but the cost on my side can't be reduced for the time being. You have also seen so many people in this hall. They are all useful to me. I need them. Make all kinds of chemical raw materials for me, otherwise if I need to make it myself, just one experimental study will be exhausted.

Therefore, my side remains as it is, and the cost remains unchanged, just to make a comparison with my dear brother to better show his filial piety. As for whether my dear brother looks good or not, the rest, my esteemed father, King Downers, think what they want. "

"This..." The old man looked at Li Cha and hesitated.

However, Li Cha made an invitation to a door.

The old man was helpless, so he had to salute again, exited the door, and left the palace.

Walking to the square outside the palace, the old man looked a little sad and couldn't help but muttered to himself: "His Royal Highness Richard, in fact, you don't necessarily have to cut the cost by one-third like the eldest prince, even if it is One-tenth, one-twentieth is fine. But I don’t even bother to do it, so… ah…”

The old man's back disappeared in the square, and Edward approached Richard in the palace, and couldn't help but persuade: "His Royal Highness, I think we can actually cut the cost a little bit. The funds in the palace are still a little surplus, and in the city you The money I earned from the shops I opened has been left outside the palace without being used, and it is a waste to leave it there, why not…”

"This matter doesn't need to be mentioned any more." Richard waved his hand to stop Edward from continuing.

"I use the shop's money for other purposes, and the palace's money must be set aside for emergencies, so there is no part for face projects, and I won't cut a single copper Klee."

"Forehead……"

"Okay, I'm going to the laboratory to do some research now. You continue to look at the palace point, there is nothing urgent, don't disturb me." Li Cha said, and walked towards the independent laboratory on the side.

Edward quickly reminded: "His Royal Highness, you haven't had breakfast yet?"

"No need. I'll eat it after I've done some research."

"But, you didn't eat dinner yesterday, today..." Before Edward finished speaking, Richard had already walked into the independent laboratory and closed the door with a bang.

Edward swallowed the rest of his words helplessly, and let out a sigh, "Alas, His Royal Highness, it's really difficult for you to make me, the captain of the personal guard..."

...

Richard walked into the independent laboratory and found that it had been cleaned.

The corpse of the python placed on the middle table and the blood stains on the ground from yesterday's autopsy have been cleaned up, and there is a faint smell of disinfectant alcohol in the air.

Nodding his head slightly, Li Cha walked to a wooden stand, took out many bottles and jars and began to connect them with leather tubes, and finally formed a set of extremely complicated instruments.

Put some whitish plant powder in one of the first jars and start the heating reaction.

This is Richard's attempt to create a plant-based anaesthetic. The reason for this is to try to solve the three life-remodeling difficulties described in the wizard book in a scientific way.

According to the content of "The Chapter of Monroe", people with the talent of wizards are born with strong spiritual power, which can affect some light objects intentionally or unintentionally, such as preventing the falling of a scroll and the like.

Only such a person can automatically enter a special super body state, connect with the vast universe, absorb the energy projected by the stars in the universe, and complete the first reshaping of life.

After that, use mental power to make the body in a highly activated state, let the mental power act on the body and highly solidify, build a special container called "Dharma Source", and store the absorbed astral projection energy in it for later use. , complete the second remodeling of life.

Finally, use spiritual power to make life enter a high-energy state, smelt the energy stored in the "source of law", and make it real "mana", which can be used to release real spells and complete the third reshaping of life.

To put it simply, the three reshapings of life are the three preparations that a person needs to make in advance to release a spell. After completing these three preparations in advance, you can start casting spells. As for how many steps are needed to cast spells, it is another matter. But without these three steps, casting spells is a completely unattainable goal.

Obviously, this set of "spell system" is extremely cumbersome, not as simple as the entertainment novels say - just close your eyes and sit cross-legged, absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth into your body, and release it when you use it. .

This set of "spell system", even if Li Cha described it according to the content in "The Chapter of Monroe", plus a lot of his own speculation, he still has a lot of doubts about many of them.

For example, what is the "super-body state" to be achieved in the first life remodeling? What is the "highly activated state" to be achieved in the second life remodeling? What is the "high-energy state" to be achieved in the third life remodeling?

In this regard, Richard can only guess, explore and try.

According to some relevant explanations in the book, the "super-body state" of the first life remodeling is a mysterious state in which the spirit is temporarily separated from the body and feels the outside world with the spirit. It feels a bit like a dream, but it maintains self-consciousness.

Richard's understanding of this is that "super-state" should be similar to meditation, which is "mantra" in Indian Sanskrit: in Sanskrit, "mantra" can be divided into two parts, namely "man" and "mantra". "Terra". "Man" means "mind". "Tera" means "to lead away". So "mantra" means to draw the human mind away from its worldly thoughts, worries, desires, spiritual burdens, etc.

But "super-body state" is not exactly the same as "mantra" meditation. It is more in-depth in comparison. On the basis of maintaining self-consciousness, it is more detached from the body and deeper into the spirit, similar to the ultimate state of meditation. --Zen.

In other words, it is a kind of "nightmare" state, that is, "ghost press bed": when a person wakes up suddenly from sleep, the brain regains consciousness, but the motor center is still in a deep sleep state, which leads to a phenomenon that the mind cannot control the body. You can think and recall, but you can't get your limbs to move at all, causing extreme panic to those who experience it.

Or the "lucid dreaming" that many people pursue: the consciousness is half asleep and half awake, you can clearly know that you are dreaming, and you can control the generation of arbitrary dreams, let yourself create and destroy like God, and realize the impossible in reality. all kinds of fantasies.

In simple terms, the "hyperbody state" is a very deep "mantra" meditation, and it is not easy to do that. Even true yoga masters cannot guarantee full immersion in meditation at all times. The so-called "nightmare" and "lucid dreaming" are even more rare. Even if you deliberately adjust your sleep, the success rate is less than one tenth.

This is completely unacceptable to Li Cha. With a scientific attitude, only a 100% success rate can prove that a thing is only feasible.

And to make the extremely difficult "super-body state" 100%, Li Cha's solution is to rely on drugs.
