v4 Chapter 80: Poison of Immortality
Leonardo's words are naturally true.
He was really happy to see her.
After all, while Leonardo used to be a product manager, he can be regarded as a programmer more or less. And this little girl who is currently only eight years old, "Augusta Ada Byron". In a sense, it can also be regarded as one of Leonardo's ancestors.
In fact, Ada is the founder of computer programs. She established the concept of loops and subroutines. She was the first to write the flow chart of program design... At the same time, she also wrote the world's first computer program for Babbage's analysis machine. Set of first programmers of algorithms.
At that time, Babbage only thought that the Analytical Machine was a mathematical operation machine, but Ada took a longer-term view than him. She believed that such a machine could manipulate symbols—not just numbers and equations—according to predetermined rules, so she ventured to suggest that this machine might be used for typesetting, musical composition, or various more complex purposes.
It's just a pity that she only lived to be thirty-six years old. The algorithm she designed had no chance to run on the analysis machine.
But not anymore.
Leonardo murmured in his heart.
In his last life, he was also legendary for victory. It is said that ten great men should have come early in this era—if they hadn't died suddenly due to some accident before they grew up. Aleister himself was a great man in his previous life. In this life, Ada is considered one, and if Ada's father is really Byron, then he is another. Perhaps Zeppelin was also in this era. As for the others, Leonardo has no clue.
After all, the world is big, and there are very few places Leonardo can go.
"She's from Brittany...that's where the Welsh ruled during the reign of Emperor Zhili the Great. And her father was a poet. And a psyker.
Aleister on the side introduced Leonardo: "Of course...he doesn't belong to a certain organization." Wild psyker? Leonardo blinked.
That's really rare. Even in today's era, the threshold for people to awaken psychics has become much lower, and education has become more popular... But without any training, they can directly evolve from "psychic contacts" to "psychics", Yi Ri requires great talent.
It seems. Ada's father should really be that poet.
…what about free psykers? "
Leonardo thought about it. He asked Aleister, "Is it okay to invite him into the Episcopal Church?"
He had meant to say "wild psyker." But he immediately realized that the child was still here, so he immediately replaced it with a softer word.
Hearing this, Aleister showed a wry smile: "If he comes back, I will tell him...
"return?"
"Yes. Four years ago, he said, 'I want to see humans in other places, not just read about them in books', and suddenly took Ada away from home and traveled east. "
It's just nonsense. Leonardo couldn't help but said, "Just the two of them? Where's Heda's mother? No attendants and bodyguards?"
"No. In fact, this should be regarded as running away from home. Aleister also shook his head and sighed: "That is a man who is always burning like fire. He came to Teutonic two years ago and met me. Later, he was wanted by the Teutonic King because of his inappropriate remarks... so he temporarily fostered Ada with me.
Ruo, Aleister held Ada tightly in his arms: "I will suffer because of it, and he will suffer because of it too.
And Ada hugged Aleister's arm obediently
Meet her gaze. Leonardo squatted down gently.
He asked in a soft and gentle voice: "Ada, aren't you afraid?" Ada said in a low voice, stretched out his hand to tightly hold the back of Aleister's hand, and added: "But... very relieved.
Reassuring? Leonardo was silent for a while, stroked her hair, pinched her earlobe and said, "Then I will give you peace of mind.
He raised his head and looked at Aleister: "Does your Psychic Academy plan to recruit Ada?"
"Yes." Aleister replied: "Her father is a powerful psychic...she should have talent in this area. Even if she is left alone, she will awaken her psionic power sooner or later. It's better to teach her how to treat her talents, how to treat others, and how to treat the world earlier. That's right, they are all bald anyway. Leonardo suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart.
This is what I taught.
Fortunately, it didn't bring people down.
"Then you teach her psychic powers. I will give you permission to teach her according to the standards of the Anglican Church. If you have any questions, come to me, or write to Baimon. Leonardo straightened up. Emphasized :"Another point. Don't just focus on cultivating her psionic ability and give up the teaching of scientific knowledge. I can see that she has excellent mathematical ability, you can "mathematics..."
Aleister nodded upon hearing the words: "Alright. Avoid her dangerous poetic tendencies like her father. Psykers are really not superior in this era. While possessing powerful abilities and talents, However, it is also resisted, resisted, and even hated by ordinary people without psychic abilities. Because of the same position, people with psychic abilities are naturally more suitable. Therefore, almost all the competitiveness of ordinary people is in front of psychics of the same level. Look vulnerable.
This will naturally make mortals vigilant.
"Speaking of which, Aleister," Leonardo pondered for a moment, then said again, "Are there many orphans at your door?"
"Not all of them. Those are the children who grew up in the poorhouse... Some parents couldn't support them, so they sent them to the poorhouse. Aleister said, a little puzzled: "What's wrong? "
"You can make them your students—I mean, buy them out of the workhouse. Teach them, and let them tutor you in your work." Leonardo affirmed: "Even if there are people from the Anglican Church who come to help You are a class teacher, but there is no handyman and academic dean, you must be too busy to take care of a college by yourself since 2 "I don't think it's always good to have ordinary people come here. And I don't even think it's good to have someone to be a teacher No, my energy and efficiency are twice that of ordinary people, and I won't be too tired... Well, well, I will do this. Aleister originally wanted to confidently deny Leonardo's statement, But under Leonardo's gaze, he quickly succumbed. Leonardo held his cane and couldn't help laughing: "You will be grateful to me, old friend. You wouldn't want to know how hard these six and seven-year-olds are to unravel and manage and teach.
"Actually, I don't think the problem is too big." Aleister patted Ada on the shoulder in vain, motioning her to go back to play, then walked to Leonardo and whispered confidently, "After all, they are not ordinary children. They have no way out. They can only learn... They can only learn from me. No one will dare to expose their eggs.
"You still don't understand children. After all, you have never been married. Leonardo shook his head and said with a smile: "You can try it first, take care of them alone, and feel my foresight. Don't worry about the funds, I'll have Leazzo give you enough funds - funds from the Episcopal Church. Your Institute of Potential Development will be the bridgehead for the Anglican Church to influence the mortal world, and I will let Baimon pay attention.
"Of course I know your foresight...
Aleister shrugged: "Even if I get married, my wife can't be a dragon, and my child can't be a Weilong.
Speaking of which, it seems that it is time to call out Yastaru. Leonardo was silent for a moment, then cleared his throat, and continued: "Ah, then we can make a bet. The Institute of Potential Development is up to you, and you can ask Baimeng for anything you want. And I six Will be back in a year. See how your school is doing. If it pleases me...
As if talking casually, Leonardo made a bet that Aleister had never thought about: "A psionic seed, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Aleister's footsteps stopped immediately.
He turned his head in disbelief and looked at Leonardo.
He hesitated for a long time. He lowered his voice and asked, "Is it for me?"
"Naturally, I never make promises I cannot keep. You can give it to anyone—under Baimon's supervision, of course.
Leonardo said calmly: "You know its meaning and value.
…yes, of course I do. but also because of this
The confidence on his face disappeared for a moment, but then he redoubled his determination.
He said softly: Then what price will I have to pay? I mean...if I fail.
"Let me be blunt. You can't pay me for anything, Aleister.
Leonardo replied: "So, 'may not get this seed' is the price and risk you have to pay.
...You really have confidence in me, Your Majesty.
Aleister took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "I see. I won't let you down.
"That's great.
Leonardo nodded, dropped the last sentence, turned around without delay, and left with Lielakin who had remained silent all along: Then. See you in six years. Aleister.
Do not let me down.
His last words were not spoken directly, but Aleister seemed to have heard them.
"I will, Your Majesty.
He answered firmly. After Leonardo left, Aleister respectfully knelt down in the direction of his departure, crossed his fingers, and prayed in a low voice: "Great Zhiliman...my king.
