Chapter 130 Giant Whale Mathematics and Mal Karen (Please subscribe! Two-in-one!)

At this moment, the whale was happily swimming past the three-masted warship, busy showing off its huge power and strong body to the female whales that might be hovering nearby, and did not notice the three-masted warship sailing on the sea, and the Idar navy soldiers on the warship who were frightened by it.

Mal Karen stared at the huge creature he saw on his way back home, and his heart tightened involuntarily.

Although they defeated the pirates easily, facing the vast ocean, the strength of the Idar Navy was far from enough.

"After returning to Idar Territory this time, I will report the existence of this giant monster in the ocean to the Earl. I believe that the Earl will definitely find a way to subdue this whale. As long as we intensify our training and don't waste a single minute, sooner or later, the Idar people will put such a giant monster on the table! Now... don't worry about that guy, and move forward to Idar Territory at full speed!"

Facing the silent soldiers, Mal Karen spoke in a deep voice.

Although the magic crystal bomb was extremely powerful, this was the first time that Mal Karen and the Idar navy soldiers had seen such a huge creature as a whale.

Therefore, based on the principle of prudence and the attitude of being responsible for the Idar soldiers, Mal Karen decided not to provoke this guy living in the ocean for the time being.

It would be fine if the Idar people won, but if they lost...

Wouldn't that mean that the entire navy that the Earl has worked so hard to build would be sacrificed?

Although Mal Cullen likes to attack, it does not mean that he is a reckless man. In many cases, he is even more cautious than Sam Layton who is good at defense.

So, Mal Karen quickly made a choice between the giant whale in the distance and the three-masted warship "Pioneer" under him.

Hearing Mal Karen's words, the soldiers' eyes gradually lit up.

They could no longer hear what Mal Karen had said before, but the four words "set up a banquet" were firmly remembered by these foodie soldiers.

Although the living conditions of these soldiers have changed dramatically compared to before after becoming a member of the Idar Navy, the difficulties and hardships they once experienced are always remembered in their hearts.

Just half a year ago, they even had trouble filling their stomachs...

Perhaps because of their extremely difficult lives in the past, when Idar's navy soldiers observed these creatures living in the sea, they usually measured their value based on how many people they could feed...

So, when they saw such a huge whale jumping out of the water, in addition to being shocked, the first thing they thought of was how many people could be fed by this huge whale.

Such a fish... I'm afraid it can be worth dozens of cows! If they can hunt this giant creature cruising in the sea... Just looking at the size of this giant whale, you can know how rich the harvest will be! After all, even the algae attached to the reef can be made into fragrant soup by the Earl, so a giant whale living in the ocean like this can be the food of countless people? In the eyes of Idar's soldiers, the Earl has always been a person who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. Therefore, once it is really like what Admiral Mal Karen said, if a giant whale is hunted in the future... The soldiers only feel that military merit and money are waving to them not far away!

Therefore, when these soldiers looked at the giant whale that was moving farther and farther away again... their mentality had changed.

That is the merit and money of movement!

Although the giant whale was gradually getting farther and farther away from the three-masted warship, the naval soldiers of Idar had already buried the urge to hunt the giant whale in their hearts...

…

The victorious three-masted warship "Pioneer" arrived at the naval port of Idar three days later.

When Bruno received the news, he was in the temporary classroom in the Sky Garden, explaining the charm of mathematics to the wizard apprentices...

"Idiot! Look... after you arrange this string of data neatly in order of size, and then simplify it one step further, what you get is an arithmetic sequence! Do you know the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence?" Bruno glared at the apprentice who asked the question.

Hearing his mentor's scolding again, Wright nodded quickly and sat down with a guilty conscience.

Mr. Mentor...you are such a wise man!

This subject, which the instructor called elementary mathematics, seemed rather confusing and useless at first glance. The chaotic symbols made one dizzy, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the study of magic arrays.

However, the more deeply the apprentices of the mage studied, the more they realized how exquisite the content of this "Elementary Mathematics" was!

Although, the wizard apprentices have only studied elementary mathematics for a week... but knowledge such as the "Law of Sine" and "Law of Cosine" proposed in it are of indescribable help in drawing magic arrays!

Therefore, this allowed the mage apprentices to put aside other distractions and study hard, so much so that the task of drawing the magic crystal bomb in the morning was almost not completed.

"Master Instructor, I would like to ask about question 7 on page 35."

Seeing that Bruno had finally answered Wright's questions, Arnel asked hurriedly.

Bruno nodded, then turned to page 35 of Elementary Mathematics, and then... his face gradually became stiff.

Because, the answer to question 7 on page 35 only has one word...Omitted!

Seeing the change in Bruno's expression, Arnel said cautiously: "Master Mentor..."

Snap!

Bruno slapped "Elementary Mathematics" on the podium.

"Such a simple question, and you told me you can't do it!?" Bruno said angrily.

“Ah, this…”

"Don't explain any other nonsense. Wright doesn't know arithmetic progressions because he has a low IQ. Is your IQ lower than his?"

Arnel shook his head quickly.

When he heard Bruno point at him, Wright quickly raised his head, looked around, and then quickly lay down on the table, feeling insulted...

"You can't even solve such a simple proof. I'll punish you to run two more laps every morning. Stop when you figure it out!" Bruno said in a deep voice.

"oh……"

In fact, he just wanted to say that none of the apprentices here can solve that problem...

Why am I the only one who is unlucky? (crying...

At this moment, Liszt knocked on the door and walked in.

"My Lord Earl, Mal Karen is back with the Idar Navy soldiers!"

"Back?!" Bruno asked in surprise, "Win... or lose?"

Although Bruno seemed confident and unconcerned about this expedition on the surface, he was actually extremely nervous deep down.

After all, this was the Idar Navy's first battle! Although there was the bonus of the magic crystal bomb, but... in the last life, when a certain great power relied on its powerful ships and modern weapons to invade a certain African country, wasn't it also beaten to a pulp?

Therefore, Bruno was extremely nervous at this moment, fearing that he would hear a bad answer.

"We won!" Lister said quickly.

"Who won?" Bruno confirmed again and again.

"You win! My Lord Count! The Idar Navy wins!" Lister said excitedly.

“Well done!”

It was not until this time that Bruno finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the affirmative answer from Liszt.

"Prepare the horses. I will go to the port now to welcome the victorious soldiers back!"

"yes!"

"You..." Bruno turned around and looked at the mage apprentices present, and said calmly: "...Although the success of the research on the magic crystal bomb was mainly due to my guidance..."

"But I, Bruno, have always been a person who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. You have spent a lot of time and energy on the development of the magic crystal bomb, and I have seen it all. So... you must have contributed to this war! In this case, you should come with me to the port to welcome them!"

"Yes, Master!" The mage apprentices quickly agreed.

"But... Arnel, you should stay here for now. After all, there is still a problem that has not been solved..." Bruno changed the subject and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Arnel, who was originally in high spirits, had to sit back down with grievance.

So, after Bruno left with the other wizard apprentices, Arnel had to continue studying the tricky proof question in the classroom.

But... it was really hard! Even if Arnel racked his brains, he couldn't think of any other solution.

At this moment, a hand seemed to pat his shoulder. Arnel turned around and found that it was Liszt who had gone to prepare the horse for Bruno.

"Arnel, do you understand the Earl's intention?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What? The deeper meaning?" Arnel asked with some confusion.

"Have you forgotten what the Earl said in the first class?"

"Independent...thinking?"

Arnel asked somewhat uncertainly.

"That's right! Among all these wizard apprentices, the one that the Earl values ​​the most is you! Otherwise...why did he give detailed answers to questions asked by others, but not to you? It's because the Earl wants to cultivate your habit of independent thinking!" Lister said earnestly.

"That's how it is!" Arnel suddenly realized.

"So, you must not let down the Earl's painstaking efforts..."

"Don't worry! I, Anel, will never let His Excellency the Earl down! I will study hard and think independently!" Anel said quickly.

"That's good... I'll be leaving first..."

"Slow down."

Arnel responded casually, and then...

When he looked at the question on page 35 of the "Elementary Mathematics" textbook again, Anel suddenly felt full of confidence and motivation! After all, he... was the person that the Earl valued the most!

On the way to the port.

Liszt finally caught up with Bruno, who had already ridden far away on horseback, and the nine mage apprentices who were riding nine donkeys following him.

That’s right!

Although the mage apprentices had to do physical exercise and learn horse riding every morning under Bruno's strong request, they still could not get rid of the temptation of donkeys. They just changed from riding donkey carts to riding donkeys.

But...this is also a small gain.

"Have you told Arnel everything I asked you to say?" Bruno asked Lister.

"Yes!" Anel replied quickly.

"What did he say?"

"He said he would definitely live up to the Earl's expectations! He would study hard and think independently!"

Hearing this, Bruno nodded with satisfaction.

After all...if you keep saying this sentence from your mouth, then over time, the effect of exhortation will be discounted because everyone is used to hearing it.

But if it is said indirectly, through people around him, such as Liszt, then the effect will undoubtedly be much better.

"Well done!" Bruno couldn't help but praise: "You are indeed the person I value the most!"

Liszt: “…”

…

Although only a little over two weeks had passed, when Mal Karen returned to Idar Territory, he could feel the changes that were taking place in Idar Territory.

On the south bank of the Idar River estuary, numerous temporary tents were built at some point in time, with countless civilians and serfs coming in and out.

"What's going on?" Mal Karen's adjutant couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Maybe... the Earl is going to build a new wonder!" said Mal Karen.

The scale of the camp near the estuary is large enough to accommodate thousands of people. I'm afraid that only by building a wonder would so many people be mobilized.

"What a wonder? Since it is built on the coast, could it be prepared for our navy?" the adjutant said in surprise.

After all, the Earl has already built a Namur Fortress for the standing army of Idar, which makes the Idar navy very jealous!

"Maybe..." Mal Karen finally smiled.

"The Earl is here!" At this moment, a soldier shouted.

Then, Mal Karen saw Bruno getting off his horse, and the mage apprentices following him getting off their donkeys.

When Mal Karen finally saw his lord earl again at the naval port dock in Idar County, he knelt on one knee excitedly.

"My Lord Earl, I have fulfilled your mission!" said Mal Karen in a deep voice.

"OK!"

Bruno quickly stepped forward, helped the admiral up, and scolded him with a smile: "Asshole! I told you a long time ago that as long as Idar's soldiers are wearing this set of armor, no matter who they meet, they must not kneel on one knee and must salute!"

"Yes!" Mal Karen quickly stood at attention and saluted Bruno with a standard military salute.
