"Hmph, women will only slow down the speed at which I draw my sword." Although he wanted to say that, he remembered that he was a mage and it seemed that he didn't need to draw his sword.

"Okay, okay, go wait at the dining table. As an apology, I'll make you your favorite fried meat patties today."

"Great! Thank you, auntie!"

At the dining table, Rhine was eating delicious meat pies while asking Victoria, "Aunt, do you know of an open space somewhere? It would be best if no one would go there."

"A place with few people and an empty space? Do you want to practice magic?"

"Yes, I want to familiarize myself with it. But don't worry, aunt, they are all magic like water polo."

"I remember there is a vast grassland through the forest behind the village. Not many people usually go there. If you want to practice magic, you can go there." (The forest where Irena met Fran in the original book, and the grassland where she duelled with Fran when she was a disciple.)

"Although I know you are different from ordinary children, you are only 4 years old after all. It is still a bit dangerous to let you cross the forest alone. Anyway, it is just water polo. Why don’t you practice in the yard? It is convenient for you to ask me if you don’t understand something." Victoria suggested.

"It's okay, it's okay, that's it." Are you kidding? Practicing in the yard, what if the house blows up?

"Besides, my aunt said that I'm not an ordinary child. I'm a magician who has mastered high-level magic! And as far as I know, there haven't been any monsters found in this country for a long time. There are only some small wild animals like wild boars in the forest. There are not even tigers and blind bears." Rhine rejected his aunt's suggestion.

"Well, try not to stray too far from home. If anything unexpected happens, I'll be able to get there in time."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, aunt. By the way, I have another question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"Um, can you teach me how to fly?" As long as you can fly, there is no place in the world that you can't go.

"Fly? Only the Great Witch can do that. It's too early for you to say that now."

"No way? But why do I read in the book that magicians can fly? And isn't there an aerial battle royale in the assessment for promotion to an apprentice witch?"

"Oh, so you mean flying props. I thought you meant flying in the air. That's no problem. But I can't teach you until I finish tidying up the utility room, because I don't know where I threw the flying props."

"Flying props? Can't we just take a broom and ride on it?"

"Hahahaha... Why do you think you can fly just by riding a broom?" After hearing Rhine's "wonderful idea", the aunt laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. She found that this nephew was indeed a genius, but he always made jokes about these simple questions.

"Damn it! Anime misled me!!!"

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot that although Little Rhine is well-read, he may not know much about common sense issues."

"Just like the catalyst props used for casting spells are usually made to look like magic wands, flying props are usually made to look like brooms. As for why they are made to look like brooms, I don't know, because brooms have been the default appearance of flying props for a long time. So it's not that you can fly by riding a broom, but because all the flying props sold on the market now look like brooms."

"Are there any flying tools other than brooms, such as flying carpets or flying swords?" If possible, Rhine would like to change the broom into a sword, so that he can fly with the sword. Or Aladdin's flying carpet is also good, so that he can lie on it and sleep. But the broom is not friendly to men if they sit on it for a long time, after all, it has something extra.

"Yes, there are, but they need to be customized, and the price is often dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary flying props. Moreover, not only the appearance can be customized, but also the functions can be customized freely according to the buyer's preferences."

"The functions can be customized? Is it so user-friendly?"

"Of course you can. The flying props sold on the market are basically only enchanted with three types of magic: levitation, air flow, and air blocking. Levitation, as the name suggests, allows an object to float in the air, air flow allows an object to move by manipulating the flow of air, and air blocking reduces the air resistance of an object when it moves."

"The better flying props have more complex and varied enchantments. For example, they can eject powerful airflow from the tail of the flying prop to greatly increase the flying speed, or reduce magic power consumption to greatly extend the flight time. There is also a function that can automatically point the way as long as the destination is entered into the flying prop, and there is even a function that allows the flying prop to fly by itself." Victoria explained to Rhine Science.

"Fuck, isn't this a car?"

"Car?" Victoria asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's the means of transportation that people in my hometown use for daily travel." Rhine explained casually.

"You are right to think so. Flying props are the means of transportation for mages. Not only magicians, but even apprentice witches and witches need flying props to fly. Only high-level witches have the ability to stay in the air for a short time, and great witches can fly by their own power. However, considering the problem of mana consumption, they usually use flying props unless it is necessary."

"What about aunt?"

"As for the legendary witch, she can fly freely without flying props, because her own magic recovery speed can keep up with the magic consumption speed of the flying spell. But that would be too conspicuous, and everyone would be able to guess the other person's identity at once, and it would also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, so I also use flying props when traveling." Victoria replied.

Walking in the air, Dou Zong strongman, so terrifying. Rhine said he understood this.

"I see. Do I need a license or something to use flying props? Do I need to pass a flight test first?" After all, you need a pilot's license to use a wind wing these days, so Rhine couldn't help but think about it.

"This is not a mandatory requirement, but magic schools generally have flying classes, and the promotion assessment for apprentice witches also includes a flying test, which is what you call the aerial battle royale."

"Then can I learn it?" Rhine looked expectant. As long as he learned to drive a car, oh no, drive a broom, he could do a lot more. Not only could he expand his vision of the map, but he could also go out to hunt or complete quests by himself, instead of just being a scooter around the village.

"Definitely not for magic apprentices. They don't meet the prerequisites for learning, either in terms of magic storage or magic manipulation. Only when you reach the middle or late stages of magic, that is, when you are preparing to take the promotion assessment for apprentice witches, will you start learning how to use flying props. After all, it is different from ordinary magic. If something goes wrong with flying magic, it can be life-threatening."

"But you are different, Rhine. The fact that you can cast high-level magic shows that your basic skills in mana control are already very solid, and your magic storage is no less than that of an apprentice witch. That's why I say you are an absolute super genius."

"Fuck! Auntie, can you see my panel?" Rhine was shocked. He was always the one peeking at others, but no one had ever peeked at him.

"Silly boy, what are you saying?" My aunt rolled her eyes after hearing this.

"You don't think you're the only one in this world who has detection skills?" Seeing Rhine's surprised look, Victoria replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, there is a mysterious power protecting you. It will automatically activate when you are hurt. I think it should be a defensive ancient treasure. Unless someone like your aunt can touch your head and use detection skills, even if a legendary strongman uses detection skills in front of you, he will not be able to detect anything."

"But even if I use my detection skills next to you, I can only roughly sense the amount of magic power stored in your body. I don't know other properties. As for why you have an ancient treasure on you, I won't ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets."

Victoria had long guessed whether Rhine was a prince of an empire, otherwise it was impossible for an ordinary noble to have the magical qualities that Rhine possessed. The ancient treasure on Rhine's body further confirmed her guess.

"Isn't my aunt curious?" Rhine said a little guiltily.

It turns out that the protection of the artifact can not only transfer damage but also block other people's detection skills. This is really a pleasant surprise. Rhine doesn't want to encounter a series of "this child must not be kept" plots before he rises.

"What's there to be curious about? Auntie is not a child anymore. Besides, it would be strange if you didn't have any protection measures given your status, right?"

"Although ancient treasures are rare, it's not like my aunt hasn't seen them before."

There is no ancient treasure, but there is a divine weapon, but Rhine will not go out of his way to correct it. It is better to say that his aunt can automatically make up for him. He is so happy that he can't wait.

The so-called ancient treasures refer to the equipment specially made by the High Elves for the powerful gods during the High Elves Era. Each piece embodies a lot of hard work of the High Elves and can be said to be the highest crystallization of the wisdom and technology of the High Elf civilization. But unfortunately, with the demise of the High Elf dynasty, these priceless treasures were also scattered around the world.

Chapter 50: Showing the Water Bomb Technique to Uncle

"Listen carefully, little Rhine. You must never tell anyone that you have an ancient treasure. No one can tell it, including your uncle." Victoria said seriously.

"I'm not saying that your uncle can't be trusted, but I'm afraid that he might accidentally let the cat out of the bag. Once the news that you are in possession of an ancient treasure gets out, trouble will immediately come to you in an endless stream, some of which even your aunt will find difficult to deal with." Victoria warned again solemnly.

Although the ancient treasure is not a true artifact, it is also a weapon of a powerful god, which is enough to arouse the desire of a legendary powerful man.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, each ancient treasure is one of the trump cards of an empire or kingdom, and is a national treasure. Normally, it will never leave the country it guards, and even if it does, it will be escorted by two or more legendary masters. So once people know that an ancient treasure has appeared in the possession of an unattended little kid, it will probably cause a bloody storm.

"Well, I understand." Rhine nodded obediently. He also understood the principles of not showing off one's wealth and being in possession of a treasure.

"Then you eat first, and I'll go hang up the clothes." Victoria said, touching Rhine's head.

"Do you need my help?"

"No, you're so small that you can't even reach the clothesline. Just eat your breakfast. It won't be too late to help your aunt when you grow up."

“…………” After listening to this, Rhine lowered his head silently and began to eat meat and drink milk in big mouthfuls.

"Wow~ Good morning, little Rhine! You got up so early today. Is it because you wet the bed?" Uncle came out of the bedroom, rubbing his sleepy eyes and yawning. It seemed that he had just got up.

"It was you, your uncle, who wet the bed, right? I remember my mother told me that when your uncle was 10 years old, he was still whimpering..." Before Rhine could finish his words, his uncle rushed over and covered his mouth.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Let's not talk about the past. How come my sister still remembers this after so long?" My uncle quickly admitted defeat.

"By the way, where is your aunt?" The uncle picked up a piece of bread on the dining table and put it in his mouth, looking around, but found that his wife was nowhere to be seen.

"My aunt is hanging clothes outside." Rhine drank the rest of the milk in one breath, then stood up and patted his round belly.

"Why did you get up so early today?" my uncle asked curiously.

"Because I have to help my aunt tidy up the storage room in the afternoon, I wanted to take advantage of this morning to practice magic in the open space behind the forest." Rhine said truthfully.

"What a diligent child. No! You are not allowed to go (▼皿▼#)!!!" Uncle said seriously after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"why?"

"Although there haven't been any monsters in Roberta for a long time, there are still dangerous beasts like wild boars and wolves in the forest. Even adults have to carry weapons to enter the forest. How can you, a little kid, go through the forest alone?" The uncle refused without even thinking. He would never let little Rhine get hurt, otherwise he didn't know how to explain to his sister who trusted him.

"What? I'm a magician! Even adults may not be my match if we really fight." Rhine protested.

"That won't work either. Although you are a wizard, you are just an apprentice of magic. You have no fighting ability at all. If you want to practice magic, why don't you practice in the yard?" My uncle's attitude was still very firm, and there was no room for compromise.

"Are you sure? I'm afraid I might accidentally damage the house."

Irena's House

"It's okay, your uncle is rich, he can just fix it if it breaks. Don't think that your uncle knows nothing, I am a magician after all, right? What destructive power can a rookie apprentice like you have?" said the "rich" uncle indifferently.

The reason why he had this idea was that the first magic that all new mages learned was Water Bullet, which was not only mild but also not dangerous, and very suitable for newcomers who were just getting started with magic. And Rhine had just become a magic apprentice yesterday, so he naturally thought that the magic that Rhine was going to practice was Water Bullet, so what destructive power could it have?

"No, when I say destroy, I don't mean destroying the house, but blowing it up..." Rhine added quickly, fearing that his uncle would misunderstand.

"Hahaha, children have rich imaginations. Can water bombs blow up a house?" Uncle looked at Rhine with a kind face and smiled.

"You don't believe it, right? Then let me show you what real art is." Seeing his uncle's expression of care for mentally retarded children, Rhine decided to clear his name.

"Great! You also know art? You really come from a big family."

"What are you going to perform for your uncle? The one that sprays water at banquets?" (Aqua: Don't cue.)

"Hey, where are you going, little Rhine? If you want to perform, can't we just go to the yard?"

Rhine did not answer his uncle's question, but continued to pull him out.

When he reached a field, he stopped and began to look around. When he found no one, he explained, "It's too close and I'm afraid it will disturb other people. There are not many people and buildings here, so it should be enough."

"Why are you so secretive?" Uncle was puzzled by Rhine's behavior.

"Shh, don't talk. This is my first performance too, and I'm a little nervous." After saying that, Rhine closed his eyes and began to concentrate, following the steps he had planned yesterday, step by step.

"When the 'water bomb' approaches the target, the magic pressure on the liquid hydrogen ball is released, allowing the compressed liquid hydrogen to expand in an instant and evenly spread in the air, then mix with the air to form a suspended aerosol. The aerosol forms an umbrella-shaped covering body near the target, and from a distance it looks like an inverted bowl covering the target. When the aerosol reaches a certain concentration, the magic shield that seals the fire source is released, allowing the fire source to come into direct contact with the aerosol, thereby detonating the entire fog group. After the fog group explodes, it will instantly release a large amount of heat energy to form a huge fireball of high temperature and pressure, which will rapidly expand and spread to the surrounding area at a speed of 2000 to 2500 meters per second."

"Explosion process: The first explosion is an oxygen-free explosion reaction, which lasts for one millionth of a second. This stage of the explosion will release a portion of the energy and produce a large amount of fuel-rich products. The first explosion is mainly caused by the physical damage caused by the liquid hydrogen expanding to 800 times its original volume after the sudden loss of pressure. The second explosion is an aerobic combustion reaction. This stage consumes all the oxygen in the surrounding air and lasts for one thousandth of a second. It mainly relies on the combustion of fuel-rich (liquid hydrogen) products mixed with air to produce an explosion. This stage will continue to release a large amount of energy, prolong the scouring time of the high-pressure shock wave, and greatly expand the high-temperature area."

"Killing method: The overpressure and temperature field effect produced by the hydrogen mist explosion, as well as the scouring effect (shock wave) of the products under the high temperature and high pressure explosion. In addition, the hydrogen mist explosion will consume a large amount of oxygen in the surrounding environment, forming an oxygen-free and low-oxygen environment that lasts for several minutes, causing suffocation to the target."

「装药来源:电解水生成氢气(2H2O=电解=2H2↑+O2↑)」

"H2: gas molecules are composed of two atoms; melting point -259.14℃, boiling point -252.8℃, critical temperature 33.19K, critical pressure 12.98 atmospheres, gas density 0.0899g/L; can burn and react in oxygen or chlorine. When the hydrogen-oxygen mixture ratio is 18.3% to 59% and encounters an open flame, a violent explosion will occur."

"Little Rhine? Does it take you so long to prepare yourself mentally?" Looking at Rhine who had not moved, the uncle waited for several minutes.

"Be patient. The bigger the performance, the more cautious you have to be." Although magic is not difficult, it is impossible for you to be able to rub nuclear bombs with your hands right away like the time travelers in the anime!!!

He couldn't sleep last night anyway, so he carefully read the documents in the middle of the night. Only then did he make out the words between the characters. The whole book was filled with the two words "nonsense"!

That's right, the one he wanted to criticize was the protagonist in The Wise Man's Grandson. He really couldn't understand why that guy could create magic with just a few words when it was the same spell (Episode 12 58:), and what's even worse is that he even created magic similar to Doraemon's Anywhere Door. Damn! So envious! If he had the Anywhere Door, wouldn't he be able to go wherever he wanted?

A tall building is built from the ground up. Both science and magic are very rigorous disciplines, and their ultimate goal is to pursue the truth.

In fact, magicians and scientists are essentially the same. They are both engaged in "scientific research", but one follows idealism and the other follows materialism.

The reason why mages are idealists is that the element "ether" does exist in this world. They are not dreamers, and they can interfere with reality by studying ether. The world where Rhine lived in his previous life also had the "ether theory", but it was eventually overturned, and ether was removed from the scientific community.

That’s right, the so-called ether is actually magic.

Just as his uncle was about to speak again, Rhine opened his eyes.

The familiar cyclone appeared again, and the water molecules in the air gathered into a large ball of water at a speed visible to the naked eye. The water was full of lightning, and then the huge water ball began to shrink. At the same time, another light blue water ball appeared. After a while, the big water ball disappeared completely, and the small water ball grew to the size of a watermelon.

"Where's the big show we promised you? This is it?" Looking at the water ball floating in the air, my uncle looked disappointed. "Although yours is a bit bigger than the water ball of ordinary water bullets, it shouldn't take you so long to prepare mentally, right?"

"Huh? Why is there light inside your water ball? It looks pretty." As he said this, the uncle wanted to reach his hand in to find out the source of the light.

"Oh shit! Don't move!" Rhine shouted in panic. The glowing thing was not a decoration, but a fire wrapped in magic power. It was a fuse used for ignition.

Not to mention what would happen if the magic membrane protecting the fire was broken, even if you put your hand into liquid hydrogen, your hand would definitely be ruined. After all, the temperature of liquid hydrogen is minus 252.78℃, which is lower than liquid nitrogen. Your hand will be frozen into ice chips if it touches it.

Chapter 51 Water Bullet Technique "Eight Desolate Cloud Explosion"

"Hmph, you're so stingy. If you don't let me touch it, then don't let me touch it. Why are you so angry? I'm a magician after all. If you give me a magic wand, I can create a water ball that's ten times bigger than this one." After being yelled at by Rhine, the uncle felt that his face as an elder was a little embarrassed and he was sulking.

"It's not that I'm stingy and don't let you play with it, but playing with this thing carelessly can really kill people. It will definitely kill people! Such a small thing is equivalent to more than 400 kilograms of TNT explosives." Rhine explained the whole story to his uncle.

The calorific value of one kilogram of liquefied gas is 41868 kilojoules, while the explosive energy of one kilogram of TNT is 4200 kilojoules. Therefore, the energy of complete combustion of one kilogram of liquefied gas is approximately equal to the power of 10 kilograms of TNT.

The calorific value of hydrogen is higher than that of liquefied gas, and is the highest among all fossil fuels, chemical fuels and biofuels except nuclear fuel, which is 142351 kilojoules per kilogram. In other words, the energy released by the complete combustion of one kilogram of hydrogen is approximately equal to the energy released by 35 kilograms of TNT explosives.

The liquid hydrogen ball he has made now weighs about 420 or kilograms, which is equivalent to the capacity of a small or medium-sized gas tank at home. The energy released by its complete combustion is approximately equal to the energy released by kilograms of TNT explosives.

You should know that a grenade with a charge of only about 50 grams has a killing radius of ten meters, and the equivalent of 420 kilograms is equivalent to the charge of a Tomahawk cruise missile (454kg), and its killing range radius can reach about 100 to 200 meters. Under normal circumstances, one shot is enough to destroy an area the size of a football field.

"Explosives? You are lying to me again. This thing looks like a water ball, except that it has a glowing red dot in the center." My uncle patted the surface of the liquid hydrogen ball with some disbelief, just like patting a watermelon. The "water ball" wrapped in the magic membrane immediately rippled.

"Look, it's okay. It feels almost like slime, cool and soft." My uncle didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
