Mortal Mage

Back in the alley, the courtyard wall of the quadrangle has been mostly built.

"It may take another half month to build this house. It's not suitable for you two to sleep in a tent all the time. I have booked a room at the inn at the corner of the alley for half a month. You two can stay at the inn first."

Zhang Mingxuan raised his head slightly and looked at the two women's slender figures, and said.

Yubin and Xun'er wanted to kneel down, but Zhang Mingxuan waved his hand to stop them. "Don't kneel down all the time in the future. It's not necessary."

It's getting late.

Zhang Mingxuan took out the mathematical formula he had calculated in the palace from the bedside table in the inn and began to ponder it.

"This formation may seem mysterious, but it feels like using runes to replace the circuit boards of the technological age, a new way of expressing energy information."

"The runes in front of this one only need to be set up with an embedded program chip to achieve a similar purpose."

Zhang Mingxuan stared at the scrawled runes and pondered under the candlelight.

"However, if we compare these runes to electronic components, it will be easy to understand."

He took out a new piece of paper and drew a simplified version of the fire array on the paper according to his own understanding.

After the last rune pattern was drawn with the brush in his hand and fell, a strange scene occurred on the paper.

The formation runes, after being simply expressed, combined into a new mini fire formation, and one of the runes in the fire formation was faintly burning and smoking.

According to Zhang Mingxuan's understanding, this rune should mean light-emitting diode.

That is, the other runes are connected in series to form a mutually reinforcing effect, the energy is gathered at one point, and the light-emitting diode is activated.

Zhang Mingxuan's expression was shocked and stunned for a moment!

He mistakenly thought that the candle on the table accidentally ignited the paper, so he took out a new piece of paper and drew on it.

The result is still the same!

The rune on the paper started to smoke faintly, and then burned for no reason. After that spot burned, the entire paper returned to normal!

“Fuck~!”

Zhang Mingxuan cried out in fear, then became ecstatic.

"Is this the formation? Isn't this the main board?"

Then Zhang Mingxuan began to use the rune representing the light-emitting diode as a basis to gradually test and crack the uses of other runes. Before he knew it, it was late at night again.

The next morning, Zhang Mingxuan entered the Taihe Palace with dark circles under his eyes. After checking in, he was ready to go to work, but the round-faced eunuch squeaked at him again, "Sir Zhang, the emperor has ordered that you still go to court today to attend the small court meeting."

"I... I'm so sleepy, why would I want to attend a morning meeting?"

Zhang Mingxuan muttered something in his mind, but the round-faced eunuch heard it clearly: "You kid, the emperor loves you so much that he ordered you to attend the court meeting, but you complained."

Zhang Mingxuan bowed to the eunuch very reluctantly, "Your Majesty, I obey your order."

Then he dragged his tired body into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

It was the same complicated etiquette. After three kneelings and nine kowtows, Emperor Li Si came out surrounded by a group of palace maids. The head of the Imperial Guard Bureau screamed, "If there is anything, beat him up quickly. If not, dismiss the court."

Zhang Mingxuan had nothing to do, but how could the ministers have nothing to do? Even if they had nothing to do, they would still find something to do for the emperor. Even if the emperor and themselves had nothing to do, they would still tell the emperor that they were busy.

Sure enough, as expected.

"Wang Mingde, as the Minister of Revenue, is shameless and cowardly, openly insulting an old minister. Your Majesty, please make a decision for me!"

"Humph!"

Wang Mingde snorted coldly while holding his crutch.

Li Si was not angry. He just rubbed his forehead and interrupted, "Okay, okay! How was your six-department meeting yesterday?"

"Humph! I have already drafted the regulations for the six ministries to sell spiritual veins, but Minister Wang refuses to sign them."

The voice of Minister of War Li Xucheng echoed in front of the hall.

Zhang Mingxuan stood in the back row. He had spent half the night studying formations and runes. He thought he had nothing to do today and just came to the court for a day's work. Unexpectedly, he was dragged to court by the emperor again. His eyes were so blurry that he could hardly open them. He was really sleepy.
