There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

"It's going great," Carlos replied.

"Thank you Queen for your concern."

Grace agreed. She knew very well that Natiyavida was coming for Carlos, so she was sensible and didn't say much.

At this time, Natiya Vida looked at the stage with the red curtain drawn:

"I never thought that Dominic and those kids would start studying magic now. This is a good thing, but I'm still very curious whether he has become what I hoped in the following few months."

Carlos narrowed his eyes slightly. He was the first to know that Natiya Vida suddenly and unilaterally terminated Domi and Xia's engagement, and he also learned the real reason from her.

She simply didn't want Domi to become a cruel and callous guy like Emperor Burton and her husband. Without absolute ruling and executive power, tyranny would only bring destruction. If she, Prime Minister Simon, and Chancellor Schlieffen hadn't tried their best to give it a hand, the empire would probably have fallen apart two years ago due to years of war.

This was undoubtedly a disaster for Xia, who was married to him. As a mother, even if she was just an adoptive mother, she did not want to see her lovely and well-behaved daughter being pushed onto the podium of Louis XVI.

And Domi's previous actions gave her some clues of this tendency.

He had just taken office as the Minister of Intelligence when he set up an agency dedicated to war, killing thousands of people while deploying troops. He also launched the state-run salt and iron system, monopolizing the people's livelihood and a large amount of money. His momentum was unmatched. Even Burton was very angry, but he could do nothing about Domi.

If Domi were to rebel against the Blofeld family, the empire would be in great trouble.

In Nadia's opinion, Domi would not become the ruler of the empire, and the one who should really become the emperor should be her son, Crown Prince Alfred. That's why she did this in order to make Domi respect power and the people, and become a good husband who would not send his wife to the guillotine.

With just one order, I can separate him and Xia. This is power.

To appease the people, they believed that the empire had been forcibly extended for several more years, and that this was the result of respecting the people.

Natiya Vida adhered to these two points throughout her life.

Just like even if people can communicate with each other, they will always be unable to truly understand each other because of differences in their thoughts. This is true for Natiya Vida to Domi, and for Domi to Natiya Vida.

Carlos sighed. The conflict between these two people made it very difficult for him as the middleman...

Chapter 253 Actual Machine Demonstration

Chapter 253-252- Actual Machine Demonstration

There is nothing better than a father who knows a son.

Carlos knew that every step Domi took was based on his own long-term planning, and it was far from as simple as Natiya Vida thought.

It’s not that she thought too simply. If she regarded Domi as an equal opponent, she would definitely be able to guess something, but she treated Domi as a child.

Only the old father who had lived with Domi for twelve years knew that his son was actually a monster. His mind had long been mature beyond belief and he was not as naive as he appeared.

The Queen made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

"Haha, Queen, you are thoughtful. I think Duomi must have noticed your painstaking intentions and will change a little bit."

"I hope so..." Natiya Vida's expression softened at this moment: "Xia is always clamoring to go back to the academy. If possible, I don't want her to be depressed every day."

"I think that day will come soon," Carlos affirmed.

He really likes this daughter-in-law. It's not easy to have a girl who is about the same age as Domi and has the same brain waves as him.

At this moment, the lights in the auditorium suddenly went out, and all the spotlights shone on the stage.

The press conference is about to begin.

The guests consciously put themselves in the role of the audience and then took their seats.

Relatives, acquaintances and important figures like Carlos and Natiya Vida basically sat in the front row and could be seen from the stage.

Domi, who was secretly watching outside in the backstage, began to panic again. They all came here for his sake, so he had to use all his tricks. Moreover, he had to satisfy the Queen as well. Maybe she would release Xia if she was happy.

As the bright red curtain slowly opened to both sides, Domi walked onto the stage from one side.

Today he was still wearing a black classic suit, his long gray hair was tied into a high ponytail, and he was dressed meticulously. At first glance, one could tell that this guy must be a top-class kid from a certain family and an elite in society.

"Is he that Dominic?"

"Yes, I didn't expect him to be so young."

"Ah, if my good-for-nothing child looked even a little like him, I wouldn't have to find a concubine to have another child..."

Everyone looked at the local noble with sympathy.

"Ahem," Domi picked up the small card engraved with the magic of amplifying sound and put it to his mouth. His clear and childish voice immediately resounded in every corner of the auditorium.

"First of all, welcome everyone to the first magic conference of our 'Life Department Small Magic Special Research Group'. I am the speaker of this conference, Dominic Blofeld..."

After a routine introduction, Domi took a deep breath and finally got to the point.

He just snapped his fingers, and two huge color photos were placed on a large whiteboard behind him and displayed side by side. They were photos made with projection magic and had been enlarged. Domi would call it the other-world version of PPT!

"As you can see, these are two true portrayals of desert areas. The left one comes from the Xisha Empire, and the right one comes from our Lionheart Empire. The two countries have large areas of desert terrain in their respective national borders and in the northwest."

They even mentioned the Xisha Empire! ?

The diplomats in the Paracel Islands felt that they had come to the right place this time, and they moved their buttocks and sat up straighter.

Then the next photo and the next one after that show the local people's livelihood in the two areas.

"As land desertification becomes more serious, a large number of water-deficient people have to guard very few wells from the beginning of the day, which is not only detrimental to their health, but also wastes a lot of time that could have been used for labor. This will seriously slow down local development. This phenomenon is more prominent in the Xisha Empire. In the long run, it will cause huge losses to the country."

The diplomat with slightly dark skin nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Domi said was very true. The director of the Civil Affairs Administration Bureau also began to take this magic that had not yet appeared seriously.

He didn't want to come originally, but he couldn't refuse Domi's invitation. However, now he feels that he was superficial.

"So! My friends and I have developed a magic that can continuously produce water for a long period of time, and can be turned on and off at will, and the amount of water can be adjusted at will! It can be used anytime and anywhere!"

There were immediate sighs and doubts at the scene.

Isn't this just adding a switch and adjustment function to the conventional magic of making water? Can this also be called a "transcendent innovation"?

I have to say that I am a little disappointed, but the diplomats are still looking forward to subsequent developments.

"Please see the actual operation below."

As soon as he finished speaking, Domi took out a realistic model that occupied most of the stage from the Dark Moon Sea, an uneven desert.

pat!

Domi just casually snapped his fingers on the small desert. People hardly noticed the fluctuation of magic power, and a stream of clear spring gushing upwards appeared out of thin air!

The rolling water ball was suspended above the desert, and small streams of water were constantly sprayed out from the water outlet designated by Domi.

"big."

At a command, the small stream of water suddenly turned into a fountain, completely soaking the surrounding sand.

"big."

Can it be bigger? ?

Then the fountain turned into a water column, rushing up half a meter high, falling like a flood, splashing countless sand particles, with a strong impact!

This impact lasted for half a minute, dyeing the desert a dark color after being soaked in water. This shows how much clean water is contained in that small water ball.

"The amount of water supplied by casting this magic once is enough to save a family of three from having to go to the well to fetch water for three days, which can greatly reduce the time and physical costs..."

At this time, the diplomat from the Xisha Empire stood up.

"Oh, Mr. Diplomat, do you have any questions?"

The diplomat said seriously, "Dominic, your creativity is worthy of recognition, but is there any essential difference between this magic and the conventional magic of conjuring water? Or does it just have two more adjustable functions?"

He expressed the questions that most people have in their hearts.

Domi's mouth corners curled up slightly, here it comes.

“That’s a good question.”

After saying that, Domi put away the model and asked someone to pull down the next 'PPT', which was the sequence that constituted this magic. It was a very simple sequence of the length of fireball magic for a novice magician, but it was longer than the sequence of creating water magic out of thin air.

Those in the audience who studied magic immediately took a closer look and discovered that this extra sequence was almost something completely new and had never appeared in any literature!

Chapter 254 Bronze Technology, Shocking

Chapter 254-253- Bronze Technology, Shocking

"You should have seen that this sequence is fundamentally different from water magic!" Domi used shadow magic to condense a long stick to circle an area on the photo.

"There was once a dynasty called Urumon that believed in bronze. Relying on the power of the mysterious bronze disc, their magic technology was extremely advanced. The Book of Emblems that could be engraved on the body to store additional magic came from this dynasty. It was the fragment that appeared at the last 'Hand of the Almighty' auction."

"We converted, reversed, and extended the emblems recorded in the book, and finally formed a magic sequence that everyone can understand, and combined it with water magic."

According to what Duomi said, some smart people have roughly guessed something. Their pupils dilated, a little bit unable to believe that such magic has actually been researched. How much impact will it have on the whole world? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the era of universal magicians, right?

"This sequence can be used to absorb external magic power and convert it all into water magic power. Then, water magic can be cast according to the remaining sequence. In this way, the caster does not need to have magic power at all. As long as this sequence is learned, everyone can obtain a mobile pure water source!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it caused a stir like a huge rock hitting the sea.

People started discussing it excitedly, and even the diplomats were discussing something with the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Domi just waited quietly. The amount of information was probably too much and he needed time to digest it.

He achieved the so-called "first suppress and then praise" approach, and the effect of the speech began to show.

The diplomat stood up again and said, "That is to say, even if the caster has no magical talent and no magic power in his body, he can perform it as long as he learns this sequence, right?"

Domi smiled and nodded: "Yes, sir, the original intention of our research on this magic is to prevent everyone from having to survive due to lack of water."

"In addition to drinking, the excess water can also be used to clean the body after opening the valve. Since the water ball can be followed, you can wash your hands at any time when they are dirty, but you must also be careful not to get the ground wet."

"I think that in this way, people in all regions can be fully guaranteed in terms of quality of life and personal hygiene."

"Finally, I call this magic - the tap, above!"

Snap, snap, snap, snap…

The Queen was the first to stand up and applaud, and then everyone stood up and generously expressed their highest respect and admiration for Domi and the entire "Life Department Small Magic Special Research Group".

Edward, Argyle, Ai Wei and Nancy walked onto the stage with Domi and bowed to applause and cheers.

Judges from the Magic Association gave the faucet the highest score in terms of cost-effectiveness, practicality, and versatility. It was successfully selected into the Magic Library and ranked at the top.

At that moment, everyone's inner satisfaction, sense of accomplishment and burning desire to create reached its peak.

Even after the press conference ended, most of the audience still stayed and gathered around Duomi and the others, trying their best to say a few words to these R&D personnel.

Domi was called over alone by the diplomat from the Xisha Empire, and the Queen and Carlos and others were also watching.

"Mr. Dominic... No, sir, do you need to pay for this 'faucet'?"

It’s actually patent fees.

Magic researchers also need funds to maintain their research and make a living.

When magic wants to be recognized and spread in a certain area, corresponding patent fees must be paid. Usually, local people pay the money to the upper-level managers, who then count and hand it over to the Magic Association, and finally the association transfers it to the inventor, and the patent fees are collected in this way.

The amount is usually not much, but it can be used by many people. A little bit of money can make a big mountain. A popular magic can provide a huge amount of money to the inventor every year.

Domi shook his head: "No, no, I am willing to provide this magic to everyone for free."

"Really?!" The diplomat's eyes widened. "That's a huge amount of money!"

"Yes, I still won't change my mind. Money can be earned, but the cause of benefiting mankind is endless."

"Good!" the diplomat shouted after hearing this: "Mr. Dominic is truly a blessing to mankind!"

"But I also have a condition."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"I hope to promote our research group while spreading magic. As you know, the academy will give scholarships to research groups with outstanding contributions and reputation. We really need GPA..."

"Hahaha, so that's what happened. No problem! I will report it to His Majesty the Sun King when I get back. I believe that soon, the entire Xisha Empire will praise the names of you and your companions."

After the diplomat happily said goodbye, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau also came up to discuss the popularization of magic in the Lionheart Empire.

He was also shocked by Domi's words and praised him continuously, which made Carlos and Gracesa who were listening in on the side blush and feel embarrassed. Domi, this kid, is really good at fooling people.

Looking at Domi like this, Natiyavida smiled with relief. It seemed that Domi was really changing, and at the same time, he was also changing the world.

She walked forward gracefully, and everyone bowed and stepped back to make way for the queen.

Domi lowered his head while the Queen looked at him quietly.

After a long silence, the pair of slender hands rested on Duomi's hair and rubbed it gently.

Domi looked up in shock and saw that the serious queen could actually smile so gently.

"You have really changed. I look forward to your performance next time."
