Chapter 1048 (1/2)
”You madman... Want to destroy the fortress of duanjie mountain?!”
Sure enough
When dreisis's angry roar echoed in the laboratory, Isaac turned his eyes and immediately showed an expression of ”as I thought”.
In the diary that Isaac Grantham wrote to himself many years later, he described his mood at that time as follows:
”For a man who has ideas and is willing to work steadily, even if he is not a genius, what he does is not a great undertaking - the most difficult and almost impossible thing is not to complete things, because he has already been mentally prepared.
The hardest thing to do... Is to explain to others what you're doing and why you're doing it.
You will find that you don't understand why the other person asks so. Even if you really try hard to understand, you will find that the other person can't understand what you're explaining.
It's the most terrible thing in the world to let one mouth explain the problem to two ears... Because before you speak, the other person already has the ”expected” answer in his heart.
So the result is nothing more than two - the real one and the one he wants to hear.
The latter is basically cheating, and if you seriously explain the problem... Regardless of whether he can accept it, if he accepts it, his first reaction is mostly that you are fooling or cheating him.
It's like the people who see this log except me at the moment. It's probably impossible to understand my mood and feelings at that time.
If you can understand, it may be because you have a similar experience, that is... I said the answer ”what you want to hear...”
”I need an explanation --!”
Dreisis's roar brought Isaac back to reality.
There was a dead silence in the empty laboratory.
Facing the angry dreisis, Isaac was surprisingly calm, and there was no mockery or contempt under his eyes.
I'm afraid he pointed to the heads of these potatoes and made a lot of ridicule, and then made a particularly profound speech about ”how talented he is”.
”Dreisis... What commander, you don't want an explanation.” Isaac raised his eyes. His voice was very small, but it was enough for everyone present to hear:
”I'm wrong. As long as I obey your orders, the fortress of duanjie mountain can be guarded... That's what you want to hear.”
”You want me to say that the fortress of duanjieshan can be guarded.”
”You --?!”
Suddenly surprised, dreisis instinctively grabbed Isaac's collar and lifted the dirty and thin Wizard:
”Isaac Grantham, you, you...” the voice of the deputy commander of the fortress trembled violently, trying to suppress the burning anger in his heart:
”Do you want to say that duanjieshan fortress... Can't be guarded?!”
”I didn't say that.” Isaac sighed and looked at him. ”I just got the conclusion I needed through calculation.”
”If you need us, it's possible to hold the fortress. If you think you don't need us, you can... Then why are you here? What are we doing? What does it have to do with the survival of the fortress?”
Dreisis was shocked and angry, gnashing his teeth, and his right hand clenched Isaac's collar was still shaking.
”You... This self righteous wizard, who gives you the privilege to advocate so well?!”
”Say! Who gave you the power?”
”I gave it to him.”
A slight voice interrupted dreisis's questioning without warning.
The deputy commander of the fortress, who was just furious, suddenly froze like an electric shock and stood still.
The Knights and wizards in the laboratory looked at each other and turned their eyes to the direction of the sound in surprise.
The expressionless connord de sallion stood alone in front of the door, holding his hand.
”Your Majesty is coming --!”
In a sudden burst of applause, officers and wizards knelt down on one knee with connord's footsteps, like a split wave.
Stunned dreisis looked back and looked at the figure coming to him at a loss.
”Your Majesty, I don't know...”
”If you don't know what to do, put down our Sir Isaac first.” the expressionless connord glanced at the arrogant wizard with red eyes and struggling like a lobster: ”if you're going to strangle him, then...”
”Ah! I, I just didn't notice...”
Hurriedly loosen Isaac, who almost suffocated to death, dreisis quickly lowered his head and closed his mouth.
After a flurry of panic, the wizards and knights around finally summoned up their courage and stepped forward one after another.
”Ask what you want.” looking at his expression, connord said quietly, ”as the first commander of duanjieshan fortress, you are qualified to know all secrets.”
Dreisis, who clenched his fists and dared not look into connord's eyes, said hard: ”Your Majesty, you just said that what Isaac Grantham did was allowed by you...”
”That's right.”
A faint word was like a bolt from the blue to dreisis!
”To be exact, it should be acquiescence.” connord looked down and watched his expression all the time. ”I know what he's doing and didn't stop him.”
”Why?!”
This is the most incomprehensible thing of dreisis: ”does it mean that in your Majesty's opinion, the fortress of duanjie mountain will fall?”
”Don't you believe that under your command, the Empire... Can't even defend the fortress of duanjie mountain?!”
Unwilling questioning echoed in the laboratory, which surprised the people present.
Connord, as tacit, did not say a word from beginning to end.
A minute later, Conrad finally met dreisis's constant eyes.
”Ernst dreisis, and you,” Conrad said in a deep voice, ”what is our mission?”
Everyone was stunned.
