"Hello~"

Rosen slightly increased the speed of the car and stopped in front of the old wizard, blocking his way.

"Master~~ I won't drive for you anymore, but I'm very interested in Master Cavendish's transformation array. Why don't we get in the car and talk about it in detail?"

Seeing that the old wizard didn't say anything, he immediately asked, "Not much, just delaying you for half an hour?"

In this case, the old wizard no longer refused: "Although I don't think there is much to say, but since the Lord is so interested, we don't mind explaining it to the Lord in detail."

He climbed into the carriage.

Rosen, Cavendish and Alshut also boarded the carriage.

Rosen deliberately installed a light on the top of the carriage to make it a little brighter.

Rosen first quickly introduced himself: "As a mage, I have always been very interested in transforming lowly energy into noble energy, and have always regarded this as my highest pursuit of magic."

"But I have only been able to transform from a humble skill to a humble skill, and because of long-term failures, I even doubt whether I can succeed."

"Now, I suddenly heard that someone has successfully turned menial skills into valuable skills. I was very shocked and admired them very much. It also restored my confidence."

The three mages were all stunned when they heard this.

The old wizard Goss asked hurriedly: "Bad power can be transformed into bad power? How to transform it?"

When Rosen saw that the old wizard was interested, he immediately knew there was something going on: "It's about turning flames into lightning, and light into lightning."

After these words were spoken, the three mages looked at each other in surprise.

The old wizard was surprised and asked, "Can flame turn into lightning? "

It is very easy for lightning to turn into flame or light, but it is extremely difficult to do the opposite. Therefore, lightning is considered to be a nobler force than flame and light.

Especially the flame turning into lightning, which touched Goss's heart the most.

Because he had studied fire magic for his entire life, he thought that his knowledge of fire far exceeded that of ordinary mages, and he also believed that there should be no fire knowledge in the world that he did not understand at all.

But I didn't expect to hear such news just half a day after arriving on the island.

His youngest son Alshut said, "I have vaguely heard of light-to-lightning, but I heard that related magic experiments are difficult to replicate and have little practical value, and are not recognized by most mages."

The eldest son Cavendish said, "It will definitely turn."

"In my opinion, the essence of all forces is the same. The reason why we can't turn it is because we haven't found the right way yet."

Upon hearing this, Rosen felt that this magic master named Cavendish should be the most powerful one among the three father and sons.

Come to think of it, if he wasn't so awesome, he wouldn't be able to create such an awesome conversion array.

At this time, Rosen felt that the old wizard was hesitant to speak. After thinking for a while, he knew that the other party probably wanted to see the magic circle that turned fire into lightning.

But I'm also worried that I won't have anything to return after reading it.

Rosen immediately smiled and said, "Because I have already put these two conversions into practical use, I really can't share the specific conversion arrays, but I can briefly explain the principles."

“Has it become practical?”

The old wizard glared and said, "It seems that the Baron has gone a long way in the transformation of power."

He felt that he had greatly underestimated the baron's magical achievements.

Rosen sensed the three mages' thirst for knowledge, and without hiding it, he said, "I discovered something after the experiment."

He paused, and after the three people had fully focused, he continued, "I discovered that lightning is the flame of order, and flame is the lightning of chaos. And light is the smallest part of lightning."

"That is to say, there is actually no flame or light in this world, only different forms of lightning."

The three mages' eyes widened.

Rosen continued: "I also discovered that light may be the fastest thing in the world."

Upon hearing this, Master Cavendish suddenly let out a low cry.

"Light has speed?!"

After shouting this, he slapped his thigh hard.

"That's right! Why doesn't light have speed?! As long as it exists, it must have speed!"

“%$#&”

Cavendish kept patting his head with his hands, and a series of inexplicable terms began to come out of his mouth! Rosen looked at him and said in his heart: "This guy can actually have an epiphany."

Looking at the other two mages, they also had a thoughtful look on their faces.

Rosen waited patiently for a while, and when the three mages calmed down, he asked, "Master Goss, I would like to ask, what is your initial estimate of how much money Master Cavendish will need to invest in researching the transformation array?"

This time Goss did not refuse to answer.

He sighed softly and frowned.

“It’s very expensive.”

"It takes 4,000 Oggs just to reproduce the results of an experiment. If we want to go deeper, we need a huge site and huge investment of resources."

"Even according to the most optimistic estimate, it would probably cost 50,000 Ogg per year."

"This is the estimated price in Kao. If it is in the White Pelican Island, the cost will only be higher. And if it is not optimistic, there is no bottom line."

"Although your territory is considered wealthy, Baron, I really don't think you can afford this expense. Moreover, even if you grit your teeth and take out the money, we can't guarantee any results."

"After all, this is a brand new thing. I'm afraid that in the end, I'll spend money and time but get nothing. I'll really be sorry to the Baron."

Rosen understood, and judging from the data marked on the conversion array he had just seen, the cost to realize it would be very high indeed.

It is really expensive, and Lawson also feels a lot of pressure.

He has a considerable income now, but his expenses are also shockingly high.

Just barely maintaining a balance between income and expenditure.

If we take out 50,000 or 60,000 Ogers to support Cavendish, the progress of other things will inevitably be affected.

The key is that everything he does now is very important and will produce practical results in the future.

The future of Master Cavendish's research is not clear. It is very likely to be like controlled nuclear fusion, which will take an eternal fifty years.

If he doesn't wait until the day of success, all his money will be wasted.

Sensing Rosen's hesitation, Goss sighed and said, "Lord, there's no need to force it. We'll go look somewhere else."

Rosen gritted his teeth and decided to vote.

Because Master Cavendish's research involves the exploration of the basic laws of the world, even if the conversion array has no results, there will be other discoveries during the exploration.

As for the money, it's time to take out and use the two tons of gold he buried in the mountains.

Of course, he has his own ideas on how to use the money.

He looked at the three mages and said, "From what I see, this transformation array was researched by Cavendish, and you two are just assisting, right?"

Goss nodded: "That's right. I originally focused on the flame and thunder weapon, which is what King Danger has been working on."

"Now the entire Wit Continent is developing this powerful flame weapon. I am also developing it and have gained some experience. But I think no matter how well it is developed, it is just a killing weapon and its significance is far less than that of the Cavendish Transformation Array."

Rosen sighed: "I'm so sleepy, here comes a pillow. I'm just in need of an artillery expert, and here comes one."

"What about you, Mage Alshut?"

"I am my father's helper. He studies the magic weapon itself, and I study the projectiles. The projectiles are the fire and thunder that are sent out to attack the enemy."

He was worried that Rosen didn't understand, so he gestured with his hands to explain the fire and thunder.

Rosen smiled and said, "I roughly know what the Flame Thunder looks like. The main body should be a metal tube with one side closed, and then the projectile is stuffed into it from the opening, and then the flames are used to propel the projectile, right?"

Alshut nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes~~The Baron is really knowledgeable."

Now that things have come to this, Rosen stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point.

"Three respected mages, let me be honest. I am very interested in your research and I am willing to invest a huge amount of money to support you."

He didn't wait for Gos to object, and looked at the old wizard first: "Master, if you are worried that I will lose all my money, why don't you help me research the fire and thunder magic weapon with Master Alshut."

Without waiting for the other party to refuse, he immediately added.

"I can see that you two can't help Master Cavendish much in the research of the pure force conversion array, right?"

Master Goss swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, because he knew that Rosen was right.

He has two sons, and the younger one's talent can only be described as above average.

But this eldest son was truly a genius, the wisest wizard he had ever met, and had always been the pride of his heart.

This time, in order to help his eldest son realize his life ideal, he first negotiated with Marquis Henry. After trying every possible way to fail to gain support, he gritted his teeth and gave up the lifelong treatment offered by the Marquis.

Now, Rosen, the island baron, could see at a glance that his eldest son was extraordinary, and the old wizard felt that the baron had great vision.

In addition to the previous communication, he was also very interested in the knowledge of flame turning into lightning and wanted to find out more.

So he was reluctant to leave.

After a moment of silence, he expressed his last concern: "Baron, you have great insight and are willing to invest huge funds to support me. I am very happy."

"I'm just worried that other people on the island will be dissatisfied with this. After all, this is a lot of money."

Rosen certainly can't say he had a windfall.

In order to boost the other party's confidence, he waved his hand and said, "I have the final say on this island, and most of the money is earned by my own efforts."

"You may not know this, but I am actually very proficient in Transfiguration. Using this skill, I can earn a large amount of gold coins a year."

"Also, my wife is Princess Dawn, as you all must have known."

"My wife's dowry is a vast and rich sea area, and I am about to conquer this sea area. By then, the territory's income will increase significantly."

"I can guarantee that if you three stay on my island, I will invest 30,000 Oggs in research funding for the Flame and Thunder Artifact every year. As for the research on Master Cavendish, I will provide 20,000 Oggs in funding for the first year, and the funding will be increased year by year in the future."

Artillery must be installed quickly, otherwise we will be defeated in future naval battles, so we have to increase investment.

It is unlikely that Cavendish's conversion research will produce results in the short term, so he can only pursue long-term investment.

Although he wanted to spend a large sum of money to support Cavendish, as a lord, he could not be completely willful. Twenty thousand Oggs in the first year was his current limit.

Of course, if Cavendish could make rapid progress in subsequent research, he would have to invest heavily in him even if he had to tighten his belt.

Seeing that the old wizard looked unhappy, Rosen immediately added, "In addition, I am willing to share with you the island's unique magical knowledge, such as the transformation between light, flames, and lightning."

After hearing this, the three mages looked at each other.

Al Shute said: "Father, the Baron is much more generous than the Marquis. He only gave 10,000 for the research of Flame and Thunder, and he was not even willing to pay for my brother's research. Otherwise..."

"Shut up!"

The old wizard looked at Cavendish: "What do you say?"

Cavendish turned to look at Rosen: "Baron, you just said that light has a speed. What is the speed of light?"

"About 300,000 kilometers per second."

Cavendish was shocked: "So fast? How did you measure it?"

Rosen actually has a solution: "There are both measurement and calculation."

"Does this still count?"

"Yes, it can be considered as part of my research on lightning."

Cavendish immediately turned to look at Goss, with a determined look on his face: "Father, this is it!"

"Are you sure?"

Cavendish nodded. "Yes, because if I want to make great progress in my research, I need not only experiments, but also the assistance of new knowledge, especially new knowledge that deeply understands the laws of the world."

"Obviously, the Baron can be of great help in this regard."

In this case, the old master has nothing to say.

"Baron, let's sign the contract as you said."

Rosen was secretly delighted: "Master Luwakado is really a good advertisement for me!"

Goss and Alshut can be of great use now.

And a genius like Cavendish Mage who explores the laws of the world is a great treasure who can truly rewrite the destiny of the human race. He is a super super SSR character.

You may have to spend a huge amount of money to maintain it in the early stage, but the growth potential in the later stage will definitely be explosive.

Now that he had it, he was so happy that he just wanted to dance.

Of course, although talents are precious, it is ridiculously expensive to raise them, and they are harder to raise than princesses.

The triangular sea strategy must be followed up immediately.
