Chapter 825： Farewell and gifts (1/2)

As the winter day drew to a close, the Tiffon's mission also came to leave Cecil.

In the autumn palace, the farewell banquet has been set up. The band is playing soft and cheerful music in the corner of the banquet hall. Under the magic crystal lamp, the shiny metal tableware and shaking wine are intoxicating luster, a kind of brisk The peaceful atmosphere permeated the lobby, making everyone at the banquet unable to help but feel happy.

Matilda Augustus, wearing a palace dress, stood at the end of the long hall. Rebecca, who also wore formal court clothes, ran to the exotic princess with a plate of cakes and was quite cheerful. Say hello to the other party: "Matilda! Are you going back today?"

In the past many days, Rebecca and Matilda haven't seen many times, but Rebecca is a cheerful person, and it is easy to make a relationship with others-or in other words, to make a relationship unilaterally . In a limited number of exchanges, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Princess Tifeng did have a good understanding of the fields of mathematics and magic, rather than the image propagated only to maintain the wisdom of people, as others had guessed at first, so They soon had a good common topic.

And the common topic successfully closed their relationship-at least Rebecca thinks so.

"I will write to you," Matilda smiled, looking at this "Pearl of Cecil" who was very different from many noble women she knew. They had equal status, but lived In a completely different environment, she also developed a completely different character. Rebecca's vigorous vitality and informal behaviors made Matilda very uncomfortable at first, but after several contacts, she also felt that The jumping girl is not annoying. "Although the distance between Aldernan and Cecil is long, but we now have trains and direct diplomatic channels, we can continue to discuss the issue in the letter."

She smiled at Rebecca, who returned a simpler and brighter smile.

In fact, Matilda felt a little regretted—when she first met Rebecca, she knew that this young and overlooking girl was actually one of the important founders of modern magic technology. She discovered Rebecca The simplicity and frankness of Ka's character, she wanted to learn some real and useful secrets about cutting-edge magic technology from the latter, but after several contacts, her communication with the other party was limited to purely mathematical problems or Conventional magic guide, mechanical technology.

This straight-looking girl is not as unsuspecting as she looks, she is just smart and just right.

In Rebecca's bright smile, Matilda's regrets quickly melted away.

"When you write, you must tell me about Aldernan again," Rebecca laughed. "I haven't been that far!"

"Of course you can, and I will welcome you to Aldernan if you have the chance," Matilda said. "It's a friendly city, and you can see very beautiful foggy scenery in Obsidian Palace. "

Rebecca showed a look of longing, and then suddenly looked behind Matilda, with a very happy look on her face: "Ah! The ancestor is here!"

Matilda immediately turned around, and sure enough she saw Gavin Cecil, who was tall and burly, wearing a royal gown, headed towards this side with a smile.

The Princess Tiphon immediately took the initiative to take a step forward, impeccably gifted: "Salute to you, Your Majesty Cecil."

Gao Wen accepted the tribute with a smile, then glanced at Rebecca standing beside him and said casually, "Rebecca, didn't you make a mess today?"

"No, no!" Rebecca immediately waved her hand and said, "I'm just chatting with Matilda!"

"Rebecca is a great friend, especially her knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, and runes, which I admire very much," Matilda said gracefully, and naturally changed the topic, "Also, very very Thank you for your hospitality these days-I personally experienced the enthusiasm and friendliness of the Cecilians and witnessed the prosperity of the city. "

"I hope that this experience will leave you a good impression. This will be a good start for the two countries to enter a new era," Gao Wen nodded slightly, and then waved to the attendant next to him. "Matilda, in Before saying goodbye, I prepared a gift for you and Emperor Rosetta Augustus-this is my personal wish, I hope you will like it. "

The farewell gift of the upper noble is a ritual and long-standing tradition, and the content of the gift will usually be a sword, armor or precious magic props, but Matilda instinctively thinks that this gift from the legendary pioneer can be There was something special about the party, so she couldn't help showing her curiosity, looking at the two attendants who came forward—they held delicate boxes in their hands, judging by the size and shape of the boxes, it was obviously impossible inside It's something like a sword or armor.

Soon she saw what Gawain Cecil's gift was: a book, and a weird metal cube.

Both things are curious, and Matilda's eyes first fell on the metal box-this metal box was more difficult for her to understand than a book. It seemed to be superimposed by a series of neat small boxes Combined, at the same time, the surface of each small square is also engraved with different runes, which looks like some kind of magic props, but there is no specific use.

"It's called Rune Rubik's Cube, it's for you," Gao Wen explained. "At first it was something I made in my spare time, and then my chief rune master Jenny made some changes to it. You can think of it It's a toy, or a tool for training thinking. I know you're interested in math and runes, so this thing is for you. "

At the suggestion of Gao Wen, Matilda curiously picked up the metal cube called the "magic cube" from the box, and was surprised to find that it was much lighter than expected, and then she fiddled with it slightly, It was found that the little cubes that made it up were all movable-she twisted one side of the Rubik's cube and immediately felt her hands sink.

Although she is not a mage, but Matilda, who is quite familiar with magic knowledge, immediately realized the reason: The "lightness" before the Rubik's cube was entirely because of some weight-loss rune, and as she turned the block, The corresponding runes were cut off.

Inside this block should be hidden a small magic net unit to provide energy, and the series of small blocks that make it can allow the rune to combine various changes, and the magical magical power is no longer there The steel of life is quietly flowing.

Matilda blinked and looked at the Rubik's cube in her hand.

As if watching some kind of epitome of magic guide technology.

It's just a toy ... but it doesn't seem to be just a toy.

At first Matilda, who was a little weird in her heart because her gift was just a "toy", couldn't help falling into thought, and in the thought, her eyes fell on another gift.

It's a book with a blue hard cover that doesn't look very heavy, and on the cover is handwritten gold text:
