A golden glow emerges in the palm of your hand.

As Lydia's hands drew a circle counterclockwise in front of her, gold and silver interlaced patterns slowly appeared on her arms, and then these gold and silver lines seemed to come to life, turning into silk threads that broke away from her body and automatically converged in mid-air to form a roughly triangular figure.

Along with the gorgeous and mysterious gold and silver silk threads constructed into runes full of mystical rhythms, rings began to intersect, and in Lydia's control, one by one the arcane runes merged into them, and finally formed a rune circle full of mysterious meanings.

The next moment, a faint white glow appeared in Lydia's hands, and then she put her hands together, the thumbs of both palms facing each other, and the other four fingers together, also opposite each other to form a gesture with a positive triangular gap.

The gesture is aligned in the same straight line as the circle.

Buzz –

With the synchronization of the casting gesture and the magic circle, a trace of pale white light instantly flew out, smoothly injected into the rune circle, and then the entire rune circle suddenly brightened, and a bright golden light exploded forward like sunlight.

Directly in front of the bright golden light, Lydia was targeted by an irregular piece of metal that seemed to be fixed in mid-air by a force field created by some alchemy device.

The surface of this metal block is black, there is a very obvious smoky burning feeling, and even the edges have distorted marks that seem to be dissolved by high temperature and then condensed, but it is very strange that there is a faint purple shimmer lingering on it, which seems to be a bit extraordinary.

However, Lydia didn't care about the appearances, she was only interested in the materials that made it up.

I saw that this piece of metal quickly decomposed the moment it came into contact with the bright golden light, and all the substances on it quickly lost their luster, and eventually most of them turned into powder, and in the process, there was still a trace of gray and blue-purple brilliance......

"Whew-"

Seeing that the metal block fixed by the force field had been completely disintegrated, Lydia also stopped the supply of energy very simply, and withdrew her hand and dispersed the rune circle in front of her.

And she seemed to be consumed, and she let out a long breath, closed her eyes and settled before casting her eyes on the powder that had been decomposed.

With a move of raising his hand, with the white light in his palm flickering, the powder flew directly and fell into Lydia's hands, and then was covered and penetrated by the light.

"Sure enough. ”

It only took a moment for her expression to change.

Knowing Suosuo –

Lydia clasped her palms together, and as her palms rubbed, a trace of powder continued to fall, and in a short time a small pile accumulated on the ground.

Eventually, all that remained in her hand was a small handful of silvery-white powder.

"There's that stuff in there, too. ”

"What the hell are they?"

Holding the silver-white powder in one hand and observing it carefully, Lydia's other hand brushed over the space bag around her waist, and then a small wooden box appeared in her hand, and when she opened it, she could see that there were multiple rows of small compartments inside.

Inside these small compartments, there are different quantities of silvery-white powder, each with a different label, which seems to have its source, time, and other information.

"These things are all decomposed from matter taken from the Comet crater at the Third Advance Camp of the Arcane Ring. ”

"Obviously, they are some kind of substance that exists in the astral plane. ”

"Comets are contaminated with comets as they orbit in the astral plane, and they react with the material of the comet itself in a violent energy environment. ”

"Eventually, as the comet fell, it entered the material plane. ”

After further comparison, Lydia simply poured the silver-white powder in her hand into a blank space in the box, and skillfully wrote the label.

"This kind of thing is still extracted from multiple different kinds of comet crater material, and even the comet dust that is sintered in high temperatures. ”

"Then it stands to reason that it should be widespread in the astral plane, and it is impossible for it not to be discovered by its predecessors. ”

"There may even be some research records on it, or even the results of the research. ”

"In that case, after I break this thing down, the synchronous query should be rewarding......"

"If I can get that information, maybe my progress in this area can be greatly accelerated. ”

"But, the astral ......"

"This is a dangerous area that only people above the legendary level can explore, and even I didn't have much information about it before. ”

"There are so many things to do after advancing to the legend, and I don't have time to learn about something that I won't touch for a while......"

"Forget it, it's not too late to ......"

She looked at the wooden box she was holding in her hand, and her eyes swept over the silver-white powder contained in the lattice.

"Humph!"

"Sophie, you wait, I'm sure I'll find the normal superconducting material faster than you!"

"I'm looking forward to your wonderful face ......"

Syllable.

The lid of the wooden box closed automatically, and then three gold and silver lines lit up, automatically forming a seal.

"It's pretty much the same. ”

"Uncle Balbo promised me a reply within three days, and today is the deadline. ”

"Let's go rest for a while, it should be pretty much the same. ”

Putting away the wooden box in her hand, Lydia, who had been experimenting all morning, also seemed to feel a little tired, closed her eyes and took a deep breath slowly, and slowly stretched her waist, and at this moment, the stretching of her limbs made the originally wide mage robe be tightened a little, and suddenly showed a graceful figure in the shape of S......

But in the blink of an eye, as Lydia relaxed little, the loose mage robes covered everything up again.

"Let's take a shower first. ”

With this in mind, she turned and walked out of the laboratory quickly......

About an hour and a half later.

In the mage's tower's reception room, Lydia reclined slightly lazily on the soft couch, reading some of the messages transmitted from the arcane sigil.

"As I expected, there are already research records and results. ”

"Let me see ......"

"It seems to be quite a lot, but there is no way to directly use teleportation to transmit it, so I can only give a brief introduction and catalog, and ask me to go to the High Library of the Arcane Ring to read it?"

“......”

"Astral Dust, Astral Sand?"

Knowing the two names, she immediately turned her attention to the following paragraph, which was clearly an excerpt.

"There is a lot of dust in the astral plane that is invisible to the naked eye. ”

"It's one of the astral dusts, but it can't be seen with the eyes, and it can only be found and obtained by searching for spells or other things. ”

"And the astral dust can only be seen with the naked eye when it undergoes certain changes in the chaotic energy environment of the astral realm and is slowly transformed into another substance, the astral sand. ”

"Normally, the sand of the astral plane is in the form of silvery-white grains of sand, and it usually exists in clusters in the form of silvery-white bands of dust and light in the astral plane. ”

"The sand of the astral plane will emit a faint light, and if it is fused with other matter, it will turn into a variety of different colors, such as some heterochromatic halos around the plane, and more than 70% of the matter inside it is the sand of the astral plane. ”
