Chapter 663: The Price Part 3

But Houdini had lost his voice at this moment. He held the two drafts written by Rody, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly, he was absorbed in it for a while, and he didn't speak for a long time. It was not until more than ten minutes later that he sighed and said with a wry smile: "I thought I was better than you academically, but now it seems that it is really far behind..."

He was really convinced. As a magister of the "Prophecy Department", Houdini himself was also an invited reviewer of two journals, so his understanding of Raschman's current paper format was far deeper than Roddy imagined. Because of this, he can see the importance of this format all the more.

Just by changing a format, the reading speed of this thesis can be doubled, and at the same time, my own research results are more eye-catching because of the existence of charts. Most mages rely on their good memory and basically list the numbers directly in their minds. For comparison, but in fact, it takes too much time and energy to do so, and the reading efficiency is very low. However, "habit" is a terrible thing. When everyone acquiesced to this rule, no one would consider changing the format. Therefore, no one in Raschman has used the "histogram", the most elementary form of statistical expression. .

He can be sure that the revised paper given to him by Rody will definitely cause a sensation in Laximan...

"It's just a change in the format. In fact, the important thing is the content. I'm definitely not as good as you in terms of academic level. Don't be self-effacing." Luo Di smiled, and with a general idea in his mind, he got up and said, "Then just watch and continue." Change it, I'll go outside for a stroll."

Rody, who walked out of the captain's cabin, felt a little funny. He didn't expect to be able to use the knowledge he had learned in college in this world, but because of this, he had a stronger interest in Laximan. Accumulated in a healthy academic environment Decades of Laximan may really be a treasure.

Rody, who was strolling along the wooden corridor, was about to go to the deck to get some fresh air. He didn't expect to bump into Melinthala, who was eating with a bottle of canned food. He looked behind curiously: "Aren't you with them?"

"They said they were going to go fishing at the stern of the boat. I don't really like to use that thing, so I just came here for a walk." Melinthala said as she and Roddy went on the deck side by side. After enjoying the meal, he suddenly frowned and stopped, tilted his head and sniffed at Roddy's shoulder, and said strangely: "I've always been wondering, since I got on the boat, standing next to you always feels a familiar smell, why? thing?"

Rody knew that this was because he had advanced to level 30. He thought for a while, and pulled out the dragon crystal belonging to Melinsera from his chest. "Here."

"You are... don't tease me, how is this possible!?"

Merlinsera's face changed suddenly, and she immediately realized that the familiar aura on Rody was actually her former "Dragon Clan" smell!

But this is simply unrealistic. After the power of the magic crystal is extracted, it can only exist as an "energy state".

For example, it is used to activate the magic circle or charge the "charged spar"... With such a treatment method, no one can feel any breath. But Luo Di's current situation made her even feel horrified. In her experience, she had never seen anyone who could absorb the energy of the dragon crystal and still retain its original breath.

Because this means that the ability of the Dragon Clan must also retain part of it.

"A skill of a witcher, if it wasn't for me, it would probably have been lost."

Rody briefly explained the ins and outs, but later found that Merlinsera did not show a relieved look, but asked more solemnly: "It's that simple? You directly absorb power, and then condense a magic crystal in your body." the same thing?"

"Yes, right here."

He pointed to the left chest, but he didn't expect that Melinthala stretched out his hand to press there, closed his eyes and tried to communicate

In the next moment, Roddy only felt the feeling of using the "soul link" with Merlinsera resurfaced again. He looked at Merlinsera strangely, and found that he could feel the emotions of the other party... Curiosity, nervousness, and a little ?

The connection was cut off suddenly, Melinsera looked at him as usual, and shook her head: "I've never heard of your situation before, but it's definitely not as simple as you imagined."

"Then what should we do? Isn't it good now?"

"You have easily possessed dragon-like abilities. This does not conform to the 'laws' of this world, so there must be a price."

Merlinsera turned her head away, looked at the sea, and continued to maintain a calm look as if nothing had happened...

He didn't find out...he sure didn't find out... Phew!

Rody really didn't continue to delve into the "soul link" at that moment just now, he was just thinking about what the "price" was. But he didn't find any DEBUFF on his "status bar", and his body was also in full state. He couldn't figure out what the problem would be for a while, so he had to give up.

Changing the subject, he glanced at Merlinsera, who had advanced to level 29 as an "Element Envoy", and asked, "Have you reached the bottleneck too? Have you figured out how to break through?"

"According to Solomon's inheritance, the plan he gave was to perform a cross-plane spell summoning. But I have never done this kind of thing before, and it is really difficult now."

She frowned, obviously distressed by this. After hearing this, Luo Di was powerless to help. He was a half-baked man in spells, and even Merlinsera found it troublesome, so he better not meddle in it.

"When we arrive at Lashman, maybe the problem will be solved. After all, we are here to visit and study."

Luo Di gave a few words of relief, but Merlinsera was not very interested, and just whispered: "I hope..."

On September 17, the fleet approached the Rahiman coast as scheduled.

Houdini had a series of communications with the port early in the morning. Because of the large number of ships in the fleet and their large size, it was necessary to make room for the ships in the port as much as possible in advance. The people from Futa waited on the deck for two or three hours before they got the news that the ship was "allowed to dock".

Everyone else thought it was nothing, but Captain Houdini was very dissatisfied.

"The 'Boratini' is the largest flagship of Rahiman at present. The date of return is not bad, and they are not prepared? It's not that I don't know how long it will take for the ship in the deep water port to move away. Let us wait like this It’s too long to tell.”

He hasn't noticed the atmosphere in the air yet, but Luo Di doesn't feel that this kind of "accident" seems to be familiar. There are too many examples in history of foreign envoys "dismissing power". The scene, looking at it now, is almost indistinguishable.
