Regarding the doctors and medical skills of this era... Jiang Xilin can only say that he is lucky if he is still alive after being treated.
Marvin's destiny is very big, not only big, but also very hard.
Marvin, whose limbs were completely severed and whose abdomen was almost punctured, miraculously survived under the treatment of the snake emblem doctor invited by Leopold and the priest invited by Irene.
After surviving, he was naturally taken back home amidst the cries of his family members.
As for compensation...
If it were an ordinary black-hearted capitalist, it would be fine if he didn't ask Marvin's family for the cost of damage to the laboratory, as well as the cost of hiring doctors and priests, and he would still want compensation.
But Anglia Tongen saw that Marvin had worked with the institute for several years and had hard work without credit, so she symbolically gave his young wife 10 gold shields.
It’s almost a little over three months of Marvin’s salary.
…
When Marvin was carried away, Jiang Xilin stood in front of the window on the second floor and watched the whole process.
No one went to see him off. Even Chude and Riley, who had always followed him in the past, didn't even go out to take a look.
Sighing slightly, Jiang Xilin believed more and more that in this world where human relationships are as indifferent as the climate, one must wear selfish clothes to keep out the cold.
Just like the four people in the same room with him at this time, they didn't know how many hidden plots and plots were hidden in their hearts.
I envy the protagonist in Invincible. He can move the world with just his fists and his mind can be completely turned aside.
well!
Jiang Xilin couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Jiangxi Lin, come out for a moment."
The door of the office opened, and Tong En, the president of the institute, stood at the door and shouted.
Andy, Hassanqi, Lloyd, and Lurisi Gard, who all rushed back due to unexpected events, all turned their attention to him.
Jiangxi Lin turned around silently and followed the graceful and graceful Anglia Tongen out of the office door.
The two of them walked together along the corridor until they reached the window on the south side.
Anglia Tongen crossed her arms with her arms horizontally, her shapely and slender arms resting under her rather tall chest.
"I heard that you can cast the Ice Mirror Technique instantly?"
She looked at Jiang Xilin and asked with a calm expression.
Jiang Xilin stopped more than one meter away from her, leaning against the cold wall, feeling a little surprised.
I thought she would ask about the laboratory explosion.
"Yep."
This is not something shameful, there is nothing to hide.
"Then why did you choose the arcane magic circle?"
"Because I think arcane magic circle learning is more interesting."
"More interesting?"
Anglia Tongen was obviously very surprised by Jiang Xilin's answer.
Compared with the future of arcane magic, arcane magic is just the last struggle for those without talent.
"I think it's not too late for you to return to arcane magic. After all, you are still very young."
"The limitations of arcane magic are too great, and besides, you are not much older than me."
Jiang Xilin shook his head.
Arcane formulary pays more attention to personal abilities. What arcanists in the formulary branch research can only be understood and used by arcane masters of the same level or higher.
Therefore, no matter how rich the research results of arcane magic are, they can only serve that small group of people.
However, the bad thing is that a small group of people are the ones who dominate the world's resources.
Anglia Tongen didn't understand what Jiang Xilin meant by limitations, but this did not affect her ability to hear the firm emotion in Jiang Xilin's tone.
Persuading Jiang Xilin to switch back to the branch of arcane magic was just out of talent. Since Jiang Xilin herself had clearly expressed her rejection, as an outsider, she naturally couldn't say anything more.
"Then let's talk about today's laboratory explosion."
"The explosion happened quite suddenly."
Jiangxi Lin frowned slightly and decided to tell the truth clearly.
"It is said that the laboratory where the explosion occurred was the one where Lurisi Gard conducted experiments yesterday. He did not clean up immediately after the experiments, but waited until this morning to ask Marvin to clean up."
Sure enough, Anglia Tongen frowned even deeper after hearing Jiang Xilin's pointed words.
After thinking for a long time, she finally couldn't hold it back, stared at Jiang Xilin, and asked:
"You mean, you suspect Lurisi Gard..."
Jiang Xilin, who was leaning against the wall and crossing his arms, looked down at his toes without making the slightest statement.
Anglia Tongen withdrew her gaze and looked out the window.
The fog outside has basically dispersed, and under the bright rays of light, light and shadow are clearly distinguishable.
The two of them remained silent and stood for a while before Jiangxi Lin spoke up:
"President Anglia, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Go and do your work."
Anglia Tongen responded without turning her head, and when she was done, she took out a cigarillo and a lighter from her pocket.
…
…
The experiment originally planned for the afternoon also fell through.
Therefore, after lunch, Jiangxi Lin took out the reference books from the study room of the institute and doubled them.
Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xilin put on the dark brown leather jacket that Vera gave him and left early.
Take the steam bus, get off at McDerlin Street, then quickly walk towards the Kingdom Post Office with your hands in your pockets.
…
"Hello, do you have a letter from No. 13 McDerlin Street?"
"No. 13 Macdellin Street, please wait a moment, sir, while I look for you."
At the Kingdom Post Office, after Jiangxi Lin briefly explained his purpose, the young staff helped him search among a pile of letters.
One minute, two minutes...
It took nearly five minutes before the young man with a slightly immature face said to Jiang Xilin with sweating profusely:
"Sorry sir, I haven't received the letter from No. 13 McDerlin Street yet."
"There's none?"
Jiangxi Lin was a little disappointed.
However, considering the time it takes to deliver letters, and the fact that there was a major turmoil in Dongting City not long ago.
Jiangxi Lin feels that there is a high probability that he will not receive a reply.
"By the way, I'll give you a suggestion. Sort all the letters according to urban areas and streets, so that you don't have to rummage through the whole pile of letters every time someone picks up the mail."
When leaving, Jiang Xilin also gave a small suggestion to the young staff.
…
After returning home, Jiang Xilin relaxed and threw himself on the sofa, with his legs together and a thin journal called "Eastern Express" spread out on his knees.
Since the last time I saw a report in "Science" about "Christopher Research Institute plans to design a new flame matrix to replace coal", Jiang Xilin has been paying attention to relevant news in this regard.
However, after so many days, he also spent a lot of money and bought several journals similar to "Science", but he could not find any follow-up reports about the Christopher Institute.
"Could it be that you've lost your temper and been warned?"
Facing the red-hot coals burning in the fireplace, the light from the fire made his cheeks feel a little hot.
It is undeniable that arcane elements are indeed a better "resource" than coal mines, but the people who can master arcane elements are not exactly the same group as the current rulers of the world.
There may be some overlap between the two interest groups, but those who rule the world are ultimately the old aristocrats who control the coal mining rights.
The "plan" proposed by the Christopher Institute may indeed be a longer-term approach for humans in the current world.
But this is also tantamount to shouting loudly in front of the ruling class: I will end your rule and destroy your jobs.
Isn’t that seeking death?
"So, after so many days, I haven't heard of any follow-up news from the Christopher Institute. It won't be an 'interview' with a big shot, and then this good thing of 'making good now and benefiting the future' will be directly
It’s yellow!”
Jiangxi Lin closed the journal with some regret.
