The days of learning black magic in another world

"Mr. Iserveld, first of all, congratulations on successfully entering the Holy See of the Royal Capital for an internship. This is really... an unprecedented speed. You should be the first person to obtain the Holy See of the Royal Capital within half a year after entering Xingxi Academy. Invited students, right?"

"Just call me Riemann."

"Oh? I don't know if it would be offensive to ask, but doesn't Mr. Riemann like others to call you by your surname? I don't intend to offend, but I am really curious about your relationship with your family. After all, I have heard some rumors... You were only admitted to the family last year, right?"

If it were another time, Riemann would have ignored this problem decisively, but now... If the story of Gou Xue [-] o'clock can make more nobles in the royal capital pay for books and invite him out of curiosity, and save him from the damn trivial task If he is rescued from the dead...he doesn't mind spilling the blood himself.

So, in the next few minutes, Riemann told the story of how a fascinating slum boy rose to the sky in one step, and hinted at the bizarre part of his life experience by the way-of course, they are all "hints", and everyone is willing to make up their own brains. Go brainstorm, he won't confirm anything.

Riemann is very good at telling stories. Barr listened with gusto, his eyes sparkled, and the pen in his hand never stopped. A thought even briefly flashed in his mind-he seemed to have nothing to give Mr. Iserveld The narration has been polished.

Satisfied with the gossip, Barr glanced at his notebook, which was full of memories, before asking the next question, which was relatively serious but nothing explosive.

"I noticed that your new book is titled A Concise Course in Calculus..." He emphasized the word "concise."

"This is very unusual, no intention to offend, but in my impression, mathematicians have always regarded themselves as God's decryptors, oh, I am not accusing you of arrogance, for the first time, I think mathematicians have good reason to be arrogant, But it is obvious that it is not common to put the word concise on the title like yours, as if you are welcoming ordinary people to read it, so, with all due respect, are you targeting everyone to read the book? "

Out of the instinctive rigor of the Department of Mathematics, Riemann actually wanted to correct his usage of "everyone", because obviously, everyone in the other party's concept should refer to all nobles who have the conditions to receive education and have been educated, but Riemann decided not to have an OCD attack at this time.

So he briefly stated his philosophy.

"Yes, I have always taken it as my mission to spread God's ideas. For a long time, the obscurity of mathematics education has blocked many people from the true meaning of God, so I made up my mind very early on, determined to express God's will in a kind of way. Expressed in a way that everyone can understand, I certainly hope that everyone can come and read this book."

He emphatically emphasized the word "everyone", hoping that through repeated reinforcement, Barr can use this word as a propaganda point, helping him expand the readership, aka, there is a chance that he will be invited to a banquet and escape the mission of the Holy See. range of people.

Barr lowered his head and wrote a lot in his notebook, and then asked: "Compared with the few articles you published in "Mathematics" before, is there any new content in this book? Or is it simply Just a tidied version?"

If Riemann wants to play a person who is proud of his talents, this should be his best chance to say "won't you see it yourself?" - in fact, he really wants to say, what is this Mentally handicapped questions, can't you ask yourself and answer them by yourself?

But he smiled with a good temper. It's not bad for him if the other party chooses to be lazy. At least, he can choose the "burst point" by himself.

"Of course it's not a simple collated version. I adjusted the order in which the concepts were introduced, so that readers would understand my ideas better. But this is just a simple change. In fact, I think the most interesting part of the book I wrote is the A little bit of connection between Velen's book."

"Mr. Villen has also published a book???"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, his book should be in the bookstore next to my new book."

In fact, "nearby" may be an imprecise word, it should be "next door", but Riemann doesn't want to appear too mean, at least not now.

"Did you know that Velen discovered four new stars?"

"W-what?"

Barr was shocked, how did he become a reporter? !

"Oh, please don't be too busy blaming yourself, it's normal that you don't know, Velen didn't make this discovery public, he only wrote me a private letter describing this discovery, and at the same time - wrote it in his new book. "

Riemann could see that the other party was obviously a little restless-discovering new stars is much more intuitive than mathematical discoveries, and there are much more breaking news!

Riemann smiled slightly, it's not over yet brother.

"Don't get too excited. Those are not new stars. To be more precise, they are the four satellites of Junos. Heller found that these four stars orbit Junos by recording their orbits. of."

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet, Mr. Barr, please let go of my arm."

"Then I'm going to talk about what Heller's discovery inspired me."

"I realized that the orbits recorded by these four satellites newly discovered by Heller are strange, and there are strange similarities with the orbit of Marles Star, so... I did some calculations and some assumptions. "

"?! Then I discovered that Marles revolves around the sun."

"What an exquisite result, it not only shows that God is always the center of the world and the universe, but also shows that God still complies with the ultimate beauty of geometry when creating the orbits of the planets, because the orbit is a circle, not any Oddly shaped."

"Okay Mr. Barr, now you can start writing."

……

Before the main dish of grilled snails was served, Riemann wiped his mouth and left Barr's house, leaving behind a Mr. reporter who was writing hard.

He was quite satisfied with the interview, but he still had to visit Dean Pound tomorrow.

……

"Oh Riemann... You mean, you want the Holy See to contact the major newspapers so that everyone can realize that Mr. Villen's book has been published? Oh, and yours, of course."

"Yes."

"Dear Riemann, don't worry, I've prepared for this, of course I won't let Mr. Villen and your book go unnoticed, it's just... just so many...so dozens of books... I I feel that it is too early to publicize, I originally planned to contact the newspaper when it is officially released."

When is it officially released? !The daylilies are getting cold!He can memorize the house numbers of the nobles in the royal capital!

"Actually, I have a different view on this point."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Dean Pang De showed a curious look.

"I think that Velen and I's books are currently only sold in the capital, and there are only more than 100 copies in total, so it's a good time to promote it."

"Really? How is this a good time?"

"Father Pound, please think of it this way. If you see two books being strongly recommended in the newspaper, you have no interest at all. Suppose, suppose you are a person who has no interest in mathematics or even has no habit of collecting books, so You flipped the side of this hastily."

"This was supposed to be just an episode during your breakfast, but that day after you had breakfast, you went to the saloon to play cards and go to the tavern to drink, and you could always hear these two books occasionally. It doesn't mean that everyone is discussing their contents... It’s just discussing how difficult it is to buy these two books, only the king of Sidney sells them, and even the king’s capital of Sidney only has more than 100 copies.”

"As we all know, Sydney is the center of the continental trend, so you suddenly became interested in these two mathematics books."

"At the same time, the nobles of Sidney are also very happy and are actively buying, because this is a symbol of privilege. If you have the opportunity to have a chance that no one else has at a price of less than ten silver coins, who would refuse? "

"Finally, please be sure to add a sentence to the publicity draft - this is a math book that everyone can understand."

"Only in this way can we achieve the final and most important step, effectively transforming those who bought these books out of impure motives into real readers, and let them feel the mathematical power possessed by God!"

Riemann raised the tone of his behavior in the last paragraph in a timely manner, which made Dean Pound feel that he deserved it.

At the same time, Dean Pound really felt that what he said in the previous long paragraph was very reasonable. This indeed... can make the nobles in the capital scramble to buy it, and it can also make the nobles outside the capital look forward to it, indeed. It is much more effective than publicizing after all the prints are finished... Could the theological monograph he plans to publish next year also use this method...

"Father?"

Riemann's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Ahem, ah... Riemann, what you said really makes sense, so let's do this."

So things settled down.

On the one hand, there is an exclusive interview with the reporter Barr, and on the other, there is the propaganda that Dean Pound plans to spread all over the continent - "a mathematics book that everyone can understand".

Riemann was finally satisfied.

He thought he could live a life of going to dinners from morning till night tomorrow.

He was right.

The next day, there should have been invitations flying towards him like snowflakes.

should.

But something went wrong in the middle.

If anyone else ever remembers the professors at Donick College who appear in this article—

One of them is a typical Sidney beauty. Although her students don't have the heart to appreciate her beauty, perhaps she left a deep impression on everyone, and the other is a bad-tempered middle-aged man who looks like a sourdough bun. The young fat man, while being fed a table full of breakfast by the servants, read all the mathematics-related magazines collected by the valet of the day, and by the way - scolded the authors of the magazines.

The bad temper and arrogance of this Professor Hausmann are of course supported by his talent and status. He is the best expert in analytic geometry in the entire Sidney, oh no, the entire continent.

At the same time... the Grand Duke of Sidney.

The real one is below one person and above ten thousand people.

He sent the invitation letter to Riemann, and at the same time, arbitrarily let the invitation letters that others had not yet sent back.

Things started with the publication of the Sidney Daily.
