Cheng Jinzhou, who was on the edge of the Star Warlock world, couldn't digest Jin Xi's so-called longevity for a while. Although he knew that Warlock Jiang Huangxing had lived for one or two hundred years, he had never really imagined the content.

No wonder the Star Warlocks all say how to become a three-star Warlock; no wonder that in the thousands of years of history of the Xia Dynasty, people still cannot completely get rid of the influence of the Star Warlock Association and the Holy Church.

Faced with the temptation of increasing life span, anyone will eventually pounce on it. This is like using sheep to seduce wolves, braised pork to seduce fellow villagers, monsters to seduce Ultraman, and perverts to seduce Superman.

Cheng Jinzhou looked around, not only the Jin Xixing Warlock, but also the Star Warlock apprentices, if they were not working, they were all studying hard. Although only one tenth of them at most have the chance to become true star warlocks.

A third-level star warlock requires 1,000 contribution points, or two star formations with 500 star points. Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but ask Jin Xi again: How many third-level star warlocks are there in Daxia now?

There are always more than three-star warlocks. Jin Xi said without raising his head: You can always find a lot of star warlocks with good physical fitness, but if you want to get 1,000 initial contribution points for the association, you only need to look at so many third-level star warlocks that are still there today. You know how difficult it is when you wear a green badge. You have a very good talent...

Cheng Jinzhou shrugged his shoulders without enthusiasm on the surface, but turned around and immediately pulled Xiaokang over and asked, Do you know of any star arrays that can be used for recording? For example, it can be written down when you speak.

The earlier the mathematics, the more complicated the proof process is. This is because many modern formulas and theorems that can be applied have not yet been discovered, and there are too few known conditions, making it difficult for people to start. Cheng Jinzhou had the intention to prove some simpler propositions by himself, but unfortunately he never If you have studied medieval mathematics systematically, you will inevitably feel powerless.

Xiaokang was already being directed around and almost lost his head. He was stopped by the Star Warlock and had to answer. He thought for a long time and said: Part of the sonic star array should be okay, such as Mr. Lu Xu's giant wave star array. It seems that there is a supporting star array that can do it, but he may not be able to engrav it.

The star array is as complex as the classification of mathematics itself. Xiaokang couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to interrupt his work and said aggrievedly: Let me look it up for you.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded obediently. He would definitely not do anything he could ask others to do.

The next day.

The normal discussion meeting has ended, but Star Warlock An Feng did not leave. Star Warlocks from other places also seized the opportunity to discuss with those Star Warlocks who had similar research directions. Mathematics and physics will always be the main direction of development for Star Warlocks. As for talent, that is something that has long been determined.

Even if the Star Warlocks are stationed on the same peninsula, it is rare to find a time when everyone has free time. Jin Xixing Warlock had just joined in at this time. He and Cao Feng were both practical Star Warlocks, and the content they studied was very unpopular. They only had small-scale discussions with a few Star Warlocks in related fields to exchange the research results of both parties.

Cheng Jinzhou naturally ran away. Whether it was studying mathematics or vampires, it was a boring and long process. He didn't want to waste his time with a bunch of bad old men.

At noon, Xiaokang, with red rabbit eyes, knocked on Cheng Jinzhou's room in the Star Warlock Tower, then handed him a thick book titled Preliminary Interpretation of the Star Array and said: Mr. Cheng, The star array you want is indeed a star array related to sound waves, called a memory star array, which requires materials and is a type of alchemy star array.

Thank you for your hard work. Cheng Jinzhou stood on tiptoes and patted Xiaokang's shoulder, even though the latter was not tall.

Xiaokang said honestly: I put the feathers in the pages of the book about the star array you want. After reading it, put the book at the door and someone will take it away.

After saying that, he consciously closed the door and left.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows, put the book flat on his lap, and lamented the convenience of life in the Star Warlock Tower. It’s no wonder that the ancient Chinese were not keen on machinery. In fact, using humans is much more convenient and more appropriate than machinery, and to a certain extent, it is also cheaper than machinery. Many astromancers who use alchemical products do so most of the time for show, rather than for actual convenience.

Preliminary Interpretation of Star Arrays is about the thickness of an ordinary dictionary. Cheng Jinzhou opened the place marked with feathers and read line by line with his fingers. Astromancers prefer to use complex and efficient language, sometimes making it difficult to understand.

It turned out to be a first-level star formation. Cheng Jinzhou became unhappy when he saw it halfway. No wonder Xiaokang ran so fast just now. He was not honest, but he was worried about arousing the anger of the star warlock.

Except for a perverted star warlock like Lu Xu, who would withstand 12 star powers to carve a so-called memory star array on their body, just to be able to automatically transfer the dictated content to other media? That's silly.

Moreover, the gentleman who designed this star array obviously did not consider the financial ability of the user. Although the principle is somewhat similar to a phonograph, the medium it uses is a very soft large piece of tin. Needless to say, it is more wasteful than tin foil. many.

After reluctantly reading the introduction, Cheng Jinzhou closed the book without saying a word and threw it outside the door. Unless he really became a third-level star warlock, he would not waste his precious star power to endure such a useless thing.

Shi Mo. Cheng Jinzhou almost yelled outside.

The star warlock apprentice who was left behind quickly ran over, and Xiaokang had already disappeared.

Mr. Cheng...

Go and ask my book boy to come over. If he can't, go and ask him if he has found the accountant he asked him to find. Cheng Jinzhou said as he put on his coat for going out.

Regardless of whether it was within his scope of work or not, the captured Star Warlock apprentice quickly ran down the tower.

…

Shi Mo found a total of four accountants, all of whom were second-generation members of the Cheng family who stayed in the capital. Two of them were still surnamed Cheng. They had attended private schools for several years and could write and do calculations, but if loyalty was to be considered, they definitely couldn't. Comparable to being in an old house.

Cheng Jinzhou was not picky, sent the people to the courtyard near the Star Warlock Tower, and started recording first. Without copying what was written on the ring, he could not buy new books, and being unable to buy new books would stop his circulatory system.

Shi Mo was waiting carefully and was very busy moving stools and pouring water. Then, while Cheng Jinzhou was calming down, he said, Third brother, these people are all people who have sold themselves to the Cheng family. I have agreed that the settlement fee of 100 taels per person will be kept at home and not allowed to go out.

In the era without patent protection, each noble family had its own set of confidentiality measures. The Cheng family's method is the one most used by everyone: captivity - keeping gentlemen who hold secrets at home, giving them a salary no less than others, helping them marry and have children, allowing a certain degree of personal freedom, but not Migrate as you please. Traveling, something for scholars, is strictly prohibited. Countries such as Venice and the Soviet Union have all used similar methods. Facts have proved that the results are good and it is a compromise that satisfies both parties.

The Cheng family is a century-old family. As a direct grandson, Cheng Jinzhou needs to recruit a few people. No matter how reluctant the shop below is, they have to send people over. After copying things for him, most of the skills he learned before have been lost.

Shi Mo didn't know what Cheng Jinzhou's purpose was, but he had to do a good job in the process.

Cheng Jinzhou's face softened obviously and he said, Where do they live now?

They are all married people, so they live in the city. Shi Mo said quickly.

I'm going to rent some land for farming near the capital, and I'm going to take over two villages. After you check it out, you can send their families there. Cheng Jinzhou was naturally talking about the land he wanted to rent from the warlock Cao Fengxing.

Shi Mo nodded like a piston and said: I have told them all the rules. They are not allowed to ask each other, and they will remember whatever they say...

Well, you go and do your work. Cheng Jinzhou said and walked into the yard.

Just like in Shaonan before, the four accountants stayed in different rooms, and each prepared a large amount of pen and ink for writing.

Cheng Jinzhou warned him again, and then he picked out the book from the book, followed the order of the rooms, picked out a mathematical formula at random, and then read it randomly according to the formula's assignment.

This is the simplest password, but also the hardest to crack if the formula is complex enough. Cheng Jinzhou's mental arithmetic skills are quite good now, and he can easily handle tasks that should have been designed using computers.

A book of 300,000 words only takes a few seconds to buy but takes a whole day to copy. Cheng Jinzhou simply lived in the courtyard outside the Star Warlock Tower. Except for occasionally going back to discuss things with Cao Feng Jinxi, he stayed at home the rest of the time.

The goods stored on the outer peninsula allowed him to buy books continuously. 30,000 taels of silver was enough to read 200 books, which he could not finish copying in two months.

During the break, Cheng Jinzhou had the opportunity to sort out the books he had purchased earlier.

As his exposure to the world of astromancers deepened, he gradually understood that he really seemed to have to choose a major research direction.

Probability, geometry or algebra also mean different forces in Xia Jing.

Maybe there is a fourth way out. Cheng Jinzhou has never seen the cruelty of political oppression, but he has heard about it. Many times, what he hears makes people feel more frightened.

As a former ordinary college student, Cheng Jinzhou would rather not be a prince or general than put himself in danger.

Life could be more colorful.

While he was thinking silently, Shi Yan hurried in and shouted from afar: Third brother, the young master is going to Beijing.
