Chapter 499 Support from the North
"Yes, but we have to wait until we get out of here. Well, you don't seem to be in any serious trouble. I should stay for a few more days."
"What happened to you? Were you injured fighting on the front lines?"
Yami showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"No, no, I ate mushrooms stewed by a friend and got food poisoning. The Lord assigned you to my room."
Yami said weakly.
Hunter looked him up and down and frowned slightly.
Making friends is all well and good, but working together is another matter. This person's temperament doesn't seem to be knowledgeable at all. Hunter thought for a moment and asked.
“Are you a scholar too?”
"No, I'm the owner of the snack stand. Uh, the one who collects the money? I don't think I'm the boss, after all, the money is pooled together."
"What's a snack stand? Some kind of academic organization?"
"Well, it's just an ordinary snack stand, a stall selling fried fish and chips. My fried fish tastes super good, although I don't know how to fry it. I'm only responsible for collecting money."
"So our future job is to sell fried fish?"
"No, the Lord said that we should do research and development."
Hunter took a deep breath and calmed down: "I understand. Since it is the Lord's request, there must be a reason. What is your name? What are your specialties?"
"My name is Yami, and I'm good at counting? Uh, I mean, I'm pretty fast at calculating."
"Counting? That's fine. I'll find you some suitable work. What kind of research and development do you want to do, lord? Is the demand report out? Where is my studio?"
Yami hesitated for a while before speaking cautiously: "Well, the Lord said that I should lead the research. You, uh, you have to pass the advanced class assessment first."
The ward fell silent.
Feeling the increasingly depressing atmosphere in the room, Yami quickly spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, the advanced class exam is easy to pass. You can just study the courses casually. They are very simple. I read books while collecting money at the stall."
The expression on Hunter's face was very interesting, from shock to secret to anger to loss and finally to numbness, just like a drama.
"My Lord must have his reasons for doing this. I have to show off my skills!"
"And studying is what I'm best at!"
Confidence gradually returned to Hunter's face.
Although he was a noble, he knew almost nothing about socializing and the only thing he was good at was studying.
In the Dawn Society, he is a recognized genius, and every achievement he makes can draw waves of admiration. The fact that he can reach the highest level of the coalition and follow Viscount Frey around all day is not just due to his family connections.
To be honest, as for the young man in front of him, Hunter did not regard him as an opponent.
Although they are colleagues, the gap between them is too big.
Scientific research is something that has a very high threshold. If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't, you can't do it. The Lord has entrusted me with the task of research and development, which should be a test for me.
The first major challenge he faced was how to conduct research with Yami, who knew nothing about technology.
The so-called advanced courses should just be talk. After all, even Yami said they are not difficult. The real test is still to come.
Thinking of this, Hunter's heart was filled with fighting spirit.
"Do you have any books for the advanced class? I'll take a look first."
"Yes." Yami pointed to the cabinet in the corner of the room. "It's over there. There are also some miscellaneous books on functions and geometry. They are quite simple. You are so smart that you can pass it by just reading them."
"Of course." Hunter walked over with his head held high.
"This Hunter's experience is really interesting." Hughes put down the report in his hand and looked at Richard across the desk with interest.
"No way, he is a scholar."
"Scholars, especially those who have studied industry-related knowledge, are more likely to suffer from Castells syndrome. After coming to the island and seeing everything with their own eyes, they are very likely to suffer cognitive collapse. Hunter's condition is relatively good."
Richard sighed.
"Every time he fainted due to stimulation, he was able to stabilize his cognition on his own. I didn't need to go to the Sea of No Consciousness to rescue him. In fact, even without receiving treatment, he was able to recover on his own."
Xius narrowed his eyes and tapped the table slowly with his fingers: "Will there be any problems? Some extraordinary ones."
"No, my lord."
Richard shook his head.
"The wall of reality near Castel is more stable than elsewhere. To be more precise, it is more stable in the random direction."
"Wait, what does random direction mean?"
"It's just that certain directions are not so stable, for example, the power of explosions is always greater than elsewhere."
"I understand. Go on." Zeus's eye twitched. Is the Crusader Army's worship of equivalent so serious that it directly changes the stability of the Wall of Reality?
"Well, anyway, cognitive drift is less likely to occur in Castells, which is why Castells syndrome generally doesn't cause more trouble. It will heal after a period of recuperation. I think Hunter may have been affected by this."
"And Castel has some other wills, such as the machine souls of various steam engines, including the machine souls in the star furnace. I suspect that the entire Castel may have souls that are far away in the future. What I mean is that although machine souls rarely respond, they are very sensitive."
"If Hunter had other problems, they would never recognize him, but I feel that Hunter has successfully resonated with the machine spirit on the island."
"Will these machine spirits betray Castel?"
"Of course. These machine spirits are as loyal as steel. If they recognize Hunter, then there must be nothing wrong with Hunter."
Hughes scratched his head.
Why do I always feel weird?
But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no problem. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Who is responsible for supporting the resistance army in the North now? Call him in."
"Oh, that's easy." Richard walked straight to the window under Hughes's confused gaze and shouted toward the bottom of the church: "Nini, come up quickly, the lord is looking for you!"
The next moment, he was crushed to the ground and scattered into threads.
Nini waved her snake tail and rubbed the silk thread onto the carpet in Xius' office in disgust.
"My Lord, you called me?"
Xius looked at Nini who was wearing heavy armor, then glanced at the window that had been smashed into pieces, and sighed.
"You pay for the window repairs."
"No problem." Nini used her tail to gather the broken brick and stone fragments on the ground, stretched out her hand to turn the stones into mud, and then casually smeared them back on the wall.
