Chapter 19 The New Road (Part 1)
Chapter 119 New Road (Part 1)
Fang Xin, who was named a knight, had considerable obligations to Wendyra Fix
First of all, Fang Xin cannot do anything to harm the Hereditary Sir Wendyra, and secondly, he serves for 40 days for free every year, which means that he will not get a salary for these 40 days.
Third, when Wendyra's firstborn son's gift and when her eldest daughter gets married, the letter must give her a gift (other children don't need it).
Fourth, Fang Xin entertains the jazz four times a year (not more than)
And Jazz also has an obligation to protect himself, that is, when Fang Xin is under improper attack or attacked by his enemies, Jazz should come forward to rescue him. If Jazz watches Fang Xin encounter danger (and he has the ability to save him) but does not save him, then Fang Xin can abandon his master with confidence.
Most national laws and decrees stipulate that if the lord wants to kill the vassal, or seize the vassal's wife and daughter, or deprive him of his hereditary property, the lord can also break with him with confidence.
In other words, if the king wants his minister to die, the minister has the power to kill the king. If the king wants to seize wealth, the minister can abandon it. Therefore, if the king dares to infringe on the wealth of the noble, then the noble can betray the king with confidence in law.
From a legal perspective and in fact, it is manifested as the lord and ministers who assume and enjoy certain obligations and rights. Later, it evolved into the lord and the state who assume and enjoy certain obligations and rights - it is indeed the same lineage.
This is indeed a symbol of human rights progress and the legal basis of later contract theory. In other words, anyone who emphasizes dedication to the state without declaring the obligations of the state to the individual can simply be summarized as a slave theory.
But this is not unique to the West. Fang Xin couldn't help but remember what Mencius, a sub-saint of Confucianism, said to the king with a stern voice: "If a king treats his ministers as his brothers and feet, then his ministers regard him as his heart; if a king treats his ministers as his dogs and horses, then his ministers regard him as his countrymen; if a king treats his ministers as his earth, then his ministers regard him as his enemies!"
Civilization has been passed down long ago, but it has been deformed along the way.
Not to mention this, although Fang Xin continued to serve as the Jazz's guard captain, his salary suddenly jumped to 200 Silver Lakes per month. However, 40 days of a year are free service, and he has the right to eat with the Jazz, and can also participate in any upper class.
The Jazz was very considerate of Fang Xin. After giving him a month's vacation, Fang Xin began to recruit his own guards, which stipulated that he had the right to have ten soldiers.
Fang Xin appointed Tavern as the captain of the guard, but the other ten people were not recruited for the time being. The reason was very simple. He was going to call a group of soldiers on the island. These soldiers were even more loyal and reliable, but the nominal captain must be locals. This is the caution.
Luo Li was taken to the manor to study, and Puerni was appointed as the manor's clerk to supervise the bill, which made her feel like she was in a dream and she really reached the sky one day.
Fang Xin deliberately meditated every day during this month, using the magic textbook in the study. In a few days, the jazz in the city knew that he was interested in magic and sent someone to send two books, including books on basic alchemy, which were more superficial than what he gave to the magician last time. This is not that Fang Xin must learn magic, but that magic is a high-rise building in the intellectual world of this world. Only after contacting can he contact the core of this world.
It is necessary to go wherever you do, what you do, and put on such a posture. At the end of the month's holiday, Fang Xin built a huge alchemy room - the house is enough, and a hall on the west side is available.
The sunlight shone in from the window, illuminating the hall. Fang Xin bought a marble workbench, which was basically the same as the chemistry laboratory on Earth in his previous life.
A large number of glassware are connected to each other, including funnels, beakers, test tubes, balances, and relatively precise rulers.
Fang Xin proudly led Luo Li and Puerni to visit.
Purnie was speechless and finally asked, "Your Excellency, are these you bought?"
"Yes, if it were two hundred years ago, this batch of instruments would be equivalent to the value of the entire manor, but now the glass manufacturing process has been perfected, and the price of glass has dropped to one percent of the 200 years ago. Therefore, the whole set is only 1,500 silver lakes, which is exactly what I can buy." Fang Xin said with a smile.
After taking the two girls around, Fang Xin was about to create a miracle.
Fang Xin stood on the marble workbench and carefully took out four kinds of things that the girl could not recognize. First, he weighed the parts on the balance, tried to make the parts as accurate as possible, and then slowly grinded the raw materials that met the standards with the glass mortar.
Until it was ground into very fine powder, poured into a small crucible the size of a palm, and a solution that had been prepared was added, with an alcohol lamp below, and it started to heat it. Gradually, the originally turbid solution, bursts of bubbles emerged.
At this time, Fang Xin quietly observed the changes in the solution in the crucible, and used a glass rod to start stirring slowly. A smoke was generated in the air, which was very similar to the smell of chemical experiments. Slowly, the color of the liquid turned blue.
This was the critical moment. Fang Xin began to recite spells. This is one of the most common spells in O-level magic, and it is also the magic recorded by the last time - Light Technique
This spell can make an object shine like a torch, equivalent to a large candle.
When the white and gorgeous light slowly rose, the two girls opened their eyes wide and watched the white light penetrate deep into the solution in the crucible. When the light disappeared, the originally blue liquid turned into a translucent liquid.
"What is this, Your Excellency?" Purnie asked.
"Hemostatic medicine, I didn't expect it to be successful all of a sudden. Hurry up, call the prepared person." Fang Xin said happily.
"Master, you call me?" A woman came, and she came in a little cowardly.
Fang Xin asked her to use a knife to cut a hole in her hand, then took out a little and applied it on. Sure enough, the entire wound stopped bleeding.
"Okay, you can go down." Fang Xin gave three silver lakes casually and asked her to go down.
"Well, the solution is five kinds of materials, and the raw material price is 0.18 silver drops, but one light technique can theoretically catalyze 10 small bottles. Yes, it seems that selling 3 silver drops in the temple is a tenfold profit!" Fang Xin calculated and said.
"Ah, sir, that's so cheap? Then if you are a pharmacist, you can become a rich man?"
After hearing this, Fang Xin moved his heart, thought for a while, and said, "This potion is mainly because the energy of the light technique itself quickly stimulates the medicinal properties of the drug itself, so the effect is very obvious, but the time to maintain the effect is very short, and it can only last for about three days, and it continues to fade once it is completed, so it is difficult to produce and sell on a large scale."
"...But, in fact, this kind of magic is not high, and ordinary people may also cast it..." Fang Xin once calculated that the difficulty of level 0 magic, if you look at it from another perspective, it is actually equivalent to the difficulty of primary school students in the main material world. It can be said that most people can use that pitiful little power after training and meditation.
The essence of this potion is actually to use the so-called positive energy implicated in the light technique as a catalyst to strongly trigger the medicinal properties of the herbs, so it has certain disinfection and bleeding functions. Now medicine is still controlled by the temple. If this world can establish a system of doctors and nurses and allow them to have this skill, it will have the revolutionary force to replace the temple function in a comprehensive manner...
Fang Xin's heart suddenly moved. He ignored the expressions of the two girls looking at each other and thought.
What kind of road is the eternal road for mankind?
From this small perspective, Fang Xin seemed to see a path that was contrary to technology, but Fang Xin firmly believed that the path of evolution of the universe must be essentially the same.
The strong intuition impacted Fang Xin's heart. Fang Xin was a little confused when he came to this Western world, but at this time, he keenly felt the opportunity to further improve his path.
Fang Xin walked back and forth, looking around as if nothing was left. Slowly, he smiled.
"Pulny!"
"What are your instructions?"
"You give these potions to Jazz. I think Jazz will be very interested." Fang Xin said flatly.
This world has magic, but magic has been suppressed by the Church of Light for a long time. This world has been with the "hunting magician movement" for eight hundred years.
If you have the power, you can resist the church. The Church of Light calls the magician the lovers and servants of darkness. The purpose is to eliminate dissidents and to place the power of the church on everyone's heads - the most well-known is the torture of fire
There was a time when people had inexplicable fear and disgust towards magicians. The reason why people held prejudices towards magicians was due to religion’s negative propaganda on paganism.
However, when new leaves (the new leaf-shaped continent, with four pieces now) appeared, that continent believed in the Sun God, so the Church of Light and the Church of Sun God engaged in large-scale wars and lost a lot of energy. The magician, as the master of power, began to have value, and the hunting magician movement disappeared.
Magic began to recover from the brink of extinction. Until now, for 300 years, many noble families have cultivated their own magicians to gain power.
Power has always been the dominant force of society. It is precisely because of this that magicians have a very high status. Fang Xin can complete two O-level magic within one month, and is undoubtedly regarded as a buried magic genius - this is more promising than a knight, although it may secretly offend the Church of Light.
