Chapter 126 Teaching and Educating (Please subscribe! Two-in-one!)
During the days that Wagner came to Idar Territory, he went to bed late and got up early every day, exhausted.
However, he was extremely grateful to Lord Idar and was full of hope for the future of himself and his family.
Because here, in Idar Territory, there are neither officials who exploit the common people nor thugs who rob and loot. Wagner can completely rely on his own strength to exchange for the material resources for his family to continue to survive.
Although he was very tired, he was also very happy.
This is because, whether mining at the iron ore mines in the Golan Heights or smelting iron in the newly built ironworks, "more work, more pay, less work, less pay" is the only principle followed by the Idar officials in charge of managing them.
Therefore, every work point is real, and every salary is solid. In Wagner's eyes, this is the most valuable thing about Idarling.
Of course, not only Wagner's life is fulfilling and busy, the lives of the mage apprentices who previously participated in the construction of the ironworks are also extremely fulfilling.
In other words, after the nine mage apprentices who came from afar formally established a teacher-student relationship with Count Bruno of Idar, the daily lives of the mage apprentices suddenly became extremely fulfilling.
The original daily morning physical exercise was naturally retained.
After all, the physical fitness of these mage apprentices is really poor, and Bruno doesn't want anything to go wrong with these weak guys.
The production of magic crystal bombs did not stop. After all, even though Bruno had traveled through time, the fear of insufficient firepower had already been imprinted deep in his soul, deeply affecting Bruno's decision-making in all aspects.
This is why Bruno gave Admiral Mal Karen a ship full of magic crystal bombs when he sent him to the Coral Island.
After all, magic crystal bombs are the most relied upon thing in the current Idar Territory, so naturally, they should make as many as they can. After all, there is absolutely no reason to have too much.
In the previous life, the flower-growing family had suffered too many setbacks and experienced too much pain along the way! The many pressures that the rabbits had to bear also made Bruno, who had traveled through time, always alert, because he never wanted to encounter those oppressions in this world. After all, compared with those big rabbits who worked for the country and the people, his political wisdom was far behind...
The successful development of the magic crystal bomb undoubtedly opened a familiar door for Bruno. So, no matter how many tasks the mage apprentices have, taking a morning every day to make magic crystal bombs is always Bruno's top priority!
In addition to making magic crystal bombs on time every day, the apprentices also have to optimize the existing magic arrays, explore the magic arrays that have not been researched, and analyze the usage of the magic arrays...
At the same time, they also have to take time to regularly inspect and maintain the magic arrays that are in normal operation in various places in Idar Territory, such as the magic arrays in the iron smelting plant and the magic arrays in the cement workshop...
Then, they have to visit their mentor, Lord Bruno, Count of Idar, from time to time in their spare time.
These apprentice mages happily became Bruno's second batch of tools after Arnel...
Therefore, as a qualified tool person, the mage apprentices naturally also have the awareness of being a tool person.
Getting up at around six in the morning and going to bed in the early hours of the morning has almost become the daily routine for mage apprentices...
Although these mage apprentices were a little uncomfortable at the beginning, under the bright prospects for the future development of the Idar School described by Bruno, the mage apprentices burst out with unparalleled creativity and willpower!
"Persevere to the end and never give up!"
"Crazy today, brilliant tomorrow!"
“I would rather suffer for a hundred days than have regrets for a lifetime!”
"I am strong, I work hard, I can succeed, I will definitely succeed!"
The walls of the Idar Magic Array Research Laboratory were already covered with slogans that Bruno had carefully prepared for these mage apprentices!
The light white paper was written with encouraging words in the Norman language. Once the apprentice mages were distracted for a moment, they would see these banners and then...
They will feel the guilt and uneasiness from the bottom of their hearts! Yes!
Lord Bruno has provided me with such good living conditions and the opportunity to fully contact magic and array research. How can I not cherish it? If I can't make full use of every minute and every second, I will be sorry for Lord Earl, sorry for the soldiers of Idar Territory, and sorry for everyone in Idar Territory!
So... inspired by these slogans and Bruno's trusting eyes, the mage apprentice's task completion speed is gradually becoming more efficient and faster.
Of course, as an outstanding young man of the new era with a sense of morality and justice, Bruno would never force these mage apprentices to complete any tasks.
They did this voluntarily!
However, although it is a good thing that the mage apprentices are so self-conscious and self-disciplined, there is also a slight drawback, which is... Bruno, who sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, almost forgets about teaching the mage apprentices.
After all, the mage apprentices who live a life of going to and from work every day do not have a very strong presence in the Idar Territory.
In addition, the secret laboratory where they lived was located in a remote place in Idar County, so unless he thought about something related to magic, Bruno really couldn't remember that he had ten students!
Sometimes, Bruno would suddenly remember before going to bed that he had not taught the magic math knowledge to the apprentices today, and then he would silently swear in bed that he would definitely do it next time! However, when the next morning came, he would forget about these trivial things again...
Therefore, in fact, up to now, although Bruno is nominally the teacher of these mage apprentices and the pioneer and founder of the Idar School, but... he has not taught even a single class to the mage apprentices.
So, the day after Bruno visited the ironworks, he finally decided to give a class to these apprentice mages! The location of the class was set in the Sky Garden. Since Bruno needed to sleep until he woke up naturally, the first class Bruno taught for the apprentice mages officially started at 3 pm that day.
However, as early as a day ago, when the mage apprentices received the news, they felt excited from the bottom of their hearts.
After all... my mentor, Lord Bruno, although he is low-key and low-key, is at least a great wizard! What's more, my mentor, this young Lord Bruno, just used a few words to give birth to a new school of thought in Idar Territory! How wise! Moreover, as the apprentices studied the magic circle more and more deeply, they felt that the magic circle was really a vast and profound subject! This is enough to become the most important milestone in the history of magic!
Therefore, the wizard apprentices were very excited and looking forward to the first lesson taught by their teacher!
They had almost just finished lunch when they came to the outside of the sky garden to wait in advance. After all... no matter when and where, it was extremely rare for a great wizard to teach in person! Bruno yawned and finally sat up from the bed. A light nap could indeed make people feel refreshed and energetic in most cases.
"My Lord Earl..." Liszt walked in and said softly, "The apprentice wizards have been waiting outside for a long time..."
"Mage apprentice?"
"My Lord Earl, you were originally going to give a lecture to the apprentices this afternoon," Lister explained.
"Let them in..." Bruno said, rubbing his head.
…
The temporary classroom is located on the first floor of the sky garden, right next to the gurgling stream that flows through the garden. There is an open terrace on the side. Although the area is not large, it is just enough to see the fish leaping in the stream.
This was actually the first time that the mage apprentices entered the Sky Garden after arriving in Idar Territory.
Because as soon as they arrived in Idar Territory, Bruno arranged them to a secret laboratory in the Almis Mountains. They had even only been to the city of Idar once.
Midsummer is the most eye-catching time of the Sky Garden, when the lush vegetation grows exceptionally luxuriantly and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants compete for splendor.
Not only are there flowers, plants, insects and fish that originally grew in the Almis Mountains, but there are also rare plants that Bruno ordered people to purchase from all over the empire.
Even the mage apprentice who had been in St. Lawrence for a long time before couldn't help but feel shocked from the bottom of his heart.
Although the Sky Garden is not suspended in the air, its unique geographical location makes it look like it is floating in mid-air.
The rushing waterfall cascades down one side of the Hanging Garden, making this garden built on the Almis Mountains look like a miracle from the gods...
The classroom on the first floor had already been tidied up, with several rows of desks, a podium, and even a blackboard hung on the wall behind the podium.
In fact, although it is called a blackboard, this thing is not black. It is just a piece of wood that has been polished clean by a craftsman.
However, Bruno could scribble on it with his homemade charcoal pencil.
This was the first time for the wizard apprentices to have classes in this way. Each person had a bench and a desk, so they found it quite interesting.
The wizard apprentices sat upright like elementary school students, staring at Bruno intently.
After all... in the eyes of these wizard apprentices, today is their teacher's first lecture, so they must leave a good impression on Bruno no matter what.
"It has been at least a month since I agreed to be your mentor, so... everyone, please speak freely. What have you learned during these days?"
Seeing that the wizard apprentices were ready, Bruno cleared his throat and asked them.
Hearing this, the wizard apprentices looked at each other in bewilderment and fell into complete silence.
One reason is that in this day and age, such a teaching method is not common for mages. Most of the classes are held in an open space outdoors or in the practice room of a mage tower, where instructors teach one-on-one how to cast spells.
The second reason is that... ever since the wizard apprentices took Bruno as their mentor, Bruno really hasn't taught them anything...
For example, research on making magic crystal bombs was done before Bruno became his mentor...
No one answered, it was a bit awkward...
"Ahem... Wright, right... don't look around, it's you... stand up and tell me what you have learned in these days?" Bruno randomly pointed to someone.
When Wright heard that he was called by his mentor, his face turned pale...
Bruno has always managed these mage apprentices in a laissez-faire manner, simply throwing a task at them and then leaving them alone.
This made Wright really not know how to answer...
"I...I learned...uh..."
Seeing that Wright had been mumbling for a long time without giving the answer he wanted to hear, Bruno couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This group of wizard apprentices... although they made rapid progress in drawing the magic circle, they were not very smart...
Pointing at the group of mage apprentices sitting in front of him, Bruno said with some anguish: "You guys... You have been my students for several months, but you still haven't understood my true intentions!"
Bruno shook his head helplessly and said, "So what have you done during this time? Arnel!"
Arnel stood up quickly and said, "In reply to your words, Master, we get up every morning to run laps, and then start making magic crystal bombs after breakfast. Then... when it's almost noon, we start discussing the next step of the magic array research you asked us to do. In the evening, we try to optimize the existing magic array. Every weekend, we go out to check the operation and status feedback of the magic arrays in various regions of Idar Territory."
"Very good." Bruno nodded and motioned for Arnel to sit down.
"Just like Arnel said, your life has been very fulfilling in the past month, but the most important point is that these array studies were completed independently under the cooperation of your team..."
Hearing Bruno's words, Arnel nodded thoughtfully.
"I only assigned you tasks, but didn't teach you what to do and what not to do..." Bruno paused, then continued: "...but why is that? You know, these magic arrays that you spent a lot of time and energy to develop and draw are easy for me to draw..."
Bruno said calmly: "The reason I did this is definitely not because I am lazy... but because I want to cultivate your habit of independent thinking and your awareness of teamwork! And this is the most important thing!"
"Think about it carefully, and ask yourself, why has something as simple as a magic circle not been proposed by any magician in these hundreds or thousands of years?"
When Bruno said this, all the apprentice mages present fell into deep thought...
What you said makes sense!
These magical arrays could be drawn by even the most common apprentice mages like Wright, Watson, and Arnel, but before that, they did not cause any waves in the mage world, not even a splash! Without giving the apprentice mages too much time, Bruno continued, "This is because... the rigidity of thinking!"
Rigidity of thinking? The mage apprentices present could not help but be stunned for a moment.
"...In your opinion, only mages can enjoy the convenience brought by magic. The paranoids like those in the Sagu School even directly regard themselves as a kind of inhuman but human-like creatures!"
"You have long been accustomed to the long-standing traditions in the wizard world. You only know how to chant spells and cast magic all day long, but you have never thought about trying to use magic in other ways or give it other uses!"
"And this is why I want to cultivate your habit of independent thinking... In my opinion, only when you learn to think, your life will truly begin! Think about it carefully!" Bruno concluded.
Finally... the classroom was silent...
Because what Bruno said is the reality visible to the naked eye!
The world of mages, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has never had any novel ideas like magic arrays. Even the simplest magic arrays... had never appeared in this world before Bruno proposed them...
The only thing that could be slightly connected to the magic circle was the magic mark that was often attached to letters.
Drawing a magic circle is not difficult, it can even be said to be simple, but the difficulty lies in how to simplify those complex magic circles and how to make the magic circles more effective! "That's right..."
Bruno was about to leave, but seemed to suddenly remember something, so he pulled out a thick booklet from behind him.
The apprentices took a closer look and saw four big characters written on the cover of the booklet: Elementary Mathematics! "What is recorded here is just the tip of the iceberg of the knowledge I have acquired over the years. Simple contents like elementary mathematics will be left for you to study on your own. If there is anything you don't understand, write it on the blackboard and I will naturally explain it to you..."
joke!
Bruno certainly couldn't teach mathematics himself, that would be too brain-consuming! And... the booklets he handed to the apprentices had the answers and detailed explanations torn out in advance!
In this way...
When the apprentice wizards encounter difficulties, Bruno can naturally show his foresight to the apprentice wizards and maintain his identity and status as a magic master! No more. Knock on the wonder tomorrow!
