Chapter 184

"In the coming time, come over when you have time."

"Before the verification result of the interference constant comes out, I will teach you the magic power test for the magic resistance rate calculation of magic-conducting materials."

"This is also a method I researched myself. If I don't teach you now, you won't have a place to learn it later." He Xi said.

Magic resistance rate calculation is a very important part of the "Six Basic Rules of Runes".

Without magic resistance rate, theoretical robustness values cannot be calculated.

He Xi is truly teaching everything he knows, truly treating Gao De as a personal disciple.

"Okay, I will come often." Gao De nodded.

"There is one more thing, wait a moment." He Xi suddenly thought of something, walked into the laboratory again, and walked out after a while.

His hand had an extra handwritten booklet.

"Take some time to learn this spell, but for now, you should focus on your magic user cultivation." He Xi urged while handing the booklet in his hand to Gao De.

Gao De quickly took it with both hands, and at the same time glanced at it.

【Mechanical Switch Technique】 (Transmutation, 0-circle):

This cantrip allows you to turn on or off any alchemy machine within range, as long as the alchemy machine has a very clear switch on the outside.

****A very interesting and highly targeted cantrip.

"Then let's do this first. While I still have energy, I have to get things done quickly." He Xi clapped his hands, preparing to continue working.

It seems that the conversation just now was also a rest for him, and the fatigue on his face dissipated a lot at this moment.

Gao De no longer disturbed He Xi and left the rune workshop silently.

The next day, after the cultivation ended, Gao De arrived at the rune workshop on time to learn magic resistance rate calculation from He Xi.

There are thousands of magic-conducting materials, and the magic resistance rate is ever-changing, with a huge fluctuation range, while the precision requirement of rune calculation for magic resistance rate is extremely high.

But for such a complex problem, under the magic power test method researched by He Xi, it became exceptionally transparent, simple and clear.

While Gao De was secretly amazed, he also didn't understand why He Xi, with his ability, would be holed up in such a small rune workshop? He should go to a bigger place and get more resources.

As long as He Xi revealed a little bit of what he was doing, with the importance placed on rune construction masters in this world, it stands to reason that countless people would immediately come to the door waving money bags filled with gold coins until the threshold was trampled.

Gao De, who has been a "student" for most of his two lives, has not yet truly realized that there is actually no such thing as "reason" in the world.

In the time that followed, in the Gavin Building, the quietest building in Seris Academy.

In that rune workshop that was once rarely visited and had been neglected, an old man who had reached the end of his life and a young man who had just embarked on the path of a magic user.

Although most of the time they were working hard for their current goals, they would both set aside a period of time to carry out things called "teaching" and "inheritance".

He Xi still spent most of his time in the laboratory, but the fatigue on his face was getting heavier and heavier, as if what he was doing was extremely energy-consuming. The rest of the time was all used to be a teacher for Gao De.

In addition to "teaching", Gao De and He Xi, who had the name and reality of teacher and student for more than a year, would occasionally sit down and chat for a few words.

This is something that has never happened before.

"Before you, only one person in the world recognized my research."

He Xi Okenli's gaze was a bit blurred, as if he was thinking of something very distant. He said in a leisurely voice that seemed to drift away: "When I was young, I also had some glorious moments... those moments made me very excited at the time, but after the excitement, it was gone, and it passed like that, and it didn't make me reminisce much."

"Until I discovered the Six Basic Rules of Runes, I realized that this is what I truly want to pursue."

He Xi, who came back to his senses, laughed: "An old man with half his body in the grave, still hanging the pursuit on his lips, is really a very childish thing."

Saying it was childish, but He Xi's eyes were shining.

Gao De also had a smile on his face.

"In order to have enough time and energy to deduce the Six Basic Rules of Runes, I left the city where I was born without hesitation, the place regarded as a holy land and paradise by countless people... actually, there was nothing worth me lingering on there. After my mother died, that was no longer my home."

"But in the eyes of many people, this must be an extremely wrong and extremely absurd choice..." "You will prove that the choice was right." Gao De said.

"No, no, no," He Xi waved his hand and said to himself: "I don't care about these, even if 1.1299 is wrong in the end, I won't feel anything..."

"I gave all my energy and time to them, which is enough to make me happy."

"Therefore, many people also evaluate me as a very persistent person, and many people say that I am a stubborn person. Actually, it's the same meaning, but the former will sound better, but I think they are right."

"They are wrong."

"Hmm?"

"This is not persistence, it is purity."

So-called persistence is not shedding tears until you see the coffin, while purity is not shedding tears even if you see the coffin.

He Xi the old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Your kid's way of saying it is the best."

Then, he seemed afraid of his own crow's mouth, and added: "Of course, it's best to be correct."

He Xi didn't wait for Gao De to respond, like a child, swept his palm around the rune workshop, "Kid, this rune workshop was built by me investing one gold coin after another."

"When Gavin Hog was still there, in order to keep me in Seris Academy, he gave me this floor and promised it would be permanent."

Gavin Hog is the name of the former dean of Seris Academy.

It is also wonderful to say that because of Gavin Hog, He Xi stayed at Seris Academy, and it was also because of Gavin Hog's recommendation letter that Gao De was able to enter Seris Academy.

This name became the hub for the teacher and student to know each other.

"It's just that I can't live that long, but in the future, it will be yours." He Xi said again.

After saying this, he thought for a while, and urged: "But if someone doesn't recognize Gavin's promise at that time, you should bow your head when you should."

"Technology is the most important thing, a rune workshop is nothing."

Gao De was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Are Dean Xie Er and Dean Gavin on bad terms?"

He is not stupid, or rather, should be considered smart.

Therefore, Gao De understood the obscure meaning in He Xi's words.

The former dean's promise, who in Seris Academy dares not recognize it?

If there really is such a person, it can only be... the current dean.

He frowned, unable to understand how a person who was on bad terms with the former dean became the current dean.

"Xie Er Ian is the youngest dean in the history of Seris Academy, and a large part of the reason is that Gavin, the former dean, encountered an accident in his prime and left too early, so Xie Er could take office early."

"But there has always been an unverified rumor that there is Xie Er Ian's shadow behind Gavin's accident."

"Framing the former dean, then taking office as dean, is it really so powerful and... shameless?" Gao De frowned, a bit unbelievable.

He Xi seemed not to hear Gao De's "rebellion", just calmly said: "Of course, this is just a rumor, no one has evidence..."

"Even if there is evidence, it's useless."

"The status of the dean of Seris Academy is too transcendent, no matter who it is, they don't want to offend him."

"Except for me... I stayed because of Gavin's retention, and my relationship with him is okay, and after Xie Er took office as dean, he always wanted me to focus on manufacturing rune construction, and I didn't listen to him."

"So, probably in his eyes, I have offended him for a long time."

For example, the constantly shrinking budget of the rune department can show some things.

Although Xie Er Ian used the high-sounding reason of "those who are capable get more".

But no matter what, as the head of the three great families, the rune department should not have such a small budget.
