I would like to get the recipe for the superconducting material you have discovered. ”

After nearly half an hour of staring at Lydia in the reception room, Sophie uttered this in an atmosphere of silence.

"Why?"

Hearing this, Lydia put down a notebook in her hand that she didn't know how many times she had read and pouted.

"Didn't you use your authority to poach the discoverer of superconductivity, the muse, from me? ”

"That's not enough?"

"With his ability, it is only a matter of time before he finds a working superconducting material. ”

“......”

"Not to mention. ”

"The research results of each spellcaster are their precious treasures, and they cannot be handed over easily. ”

"Or maybe you've prepared a reward that will tempt me?"

As she said these words, Lydia looked directly at Sophie. A look of smiling but not smiling slowly appeared on his face.

"Hmmm......"

Although she had been mentally prepared for this before she came, when she really faced it, Sophie still showed a subtle expression.

However, Sophie also knows Lydia's temperament very well, and knows that if she goes along with her rhythm, she will really end up bleeding profusely.

"Of course,"

"I've prepared a lot."

“......”

"But before we do that, maybe we can look at something else. ”

Her face remained unchanged, and Sophie reached out and took something out of the space bag.

It was a piece of crystal, and a large stack of paper.

"First of all, it's an image crystal. ”

"And what is recorded in it is a video from about half a month ago, in the primary library on the first floor of the main tower of the arcane ring. ”

"Guess what it is?"

Speaking of this, the corners of Sophie's mouth turned up slightly, combined with the slightly forward pressure on her body, and the pressed eyelids, creating an inexplicable oppressive force.

"Also, on these papers, it is written that the Muse submitted it to me. ”

"About him completing the task I gave him – to find experimental data for viable superconducting materials. ”

"And when I compared some of this data with some of the data in your paper published in the Arcane journal, I seem to have found something interesting. ”

"But what's interesting, might you guess too?"

frowned slightly, but it calmed down in an instant, Lydia's face was as usual, and she didn't care:

"Cut, isn't it just an order from the Muse that gave me some experimental materials? ”

"Don't forget, the materials for the experiments in your project are basically from the enchantment school of the Arcane Ring, refined by us alchemists. ”

"Isn't it normal for the Muse to order some experimental materials from the alchemist he knows best, that is, me. ”

As she spoke, she brushed the crystal that Sophie had placed on the table with her hand, and with the infusion of spiritual power, the image crystal was directly activated, projecting the figures of Muse and Lydia - from a top-down view, the Muse was handing her a stack of papers surrounded by the library's heavy bookshelves.

“......”

For Lydia's set of words, Sophie was a little speechless for a while.

After glancing at the stack of experimental data that Sophie had placed in front of her, Lydia pursed her lips again and said:

"As for the similarity of the data. ”

"I was there when the Muse talked about the phenomenon of 'superconductivity'. ”

"And then you poached him. ”

"So I don't know what you're going to want him to do?"

“......”

"Then I received an order from Muse for experimental materials. ”

"You think, after learning that metals have this interesting property. ”

"When I'm refining those materials, I won't delve into them out of the professional curiosity of an alchemist?"

"And the experimental materials are the same, and the data obtained are similar, what's the problem?"

"This is my own research, and it is not relevant to your project. ”

"If you want to get it, you can get what I want!"

Sophie, who wanted to use the evidence of these illegal operations to knock Lydia and increase her chips, felt the obvious deception in Lydia's words, and there was really nothing she could do for a while, so she could only continue to look delicate.

“......”

Soon, however, Sophie keenly sensed something from Lydia's words, and even had a little blissful guess:

Lydia seems to have mentioned Muse too often. ”

"So all the time she has been dissatisfied is that I poached the muse?"

"And not something about me poaching people from her?"

“......”

"But according to the agreement, I can't explain to Lydia that Muse used my promise to ask to be part of my project. ”

"That's all she cares about?"

“......”

"Is Lydia having some plans for the Muse going on that might be ruined by my actions?"

"No wonder she would come to the door and throw a tantrum when I used my authority to transfer the muse away. ”

"I still rely on the fact that I can't move the real character, and I tried my best to stimulate the bloodline ability to decompose the things in my body, but I lost a lot of ......"

All kinds of thoughts quickly passed through the bottom of her heart, and in the process, Sophie's gaze gradually changed a little as she looked at Lydia.

"Yes, that's your research. ”

"I'm not going to force you to hand it over. ”

“......”

A smile appeared on her lips again, and Sophie nodded.

"But perhaps you should listen to the mission I will send to the Muse. ”

"You'll be interested. ”

Speaking of this, Sophie even had a hint of amusement on her face, "In order to better carry out exploration experiments on superconducting materials." ”

"I'm going to send the Muse to the outpost where the Arcane Ring is set up in the wind elemental plane, and use the thunder and lightning that naturally exist in the wind elemental plane to conduct experiments, greatly reducing the burden of experiments and improving the efficiency of experiments. ”

"Time...... Let's set a year first. ”

"During the process, for the sake of experimental safety and confidentiality, etc., you can't return. ”

"If it's not enough, add it when the time comes. ”

Immediately, Sophie could clearly see that Lydia's brow suddenly jumped as her words came out.

Seeing this, Sophie was not in a hurry, she picked up the table because she and Lydia had been stared at three times before, so she still had warm tea at this time, took a sip slowly, and then turned her eyes and began to carefully observe the exquisite reliefs on the walls of the reception room, as if the lines of those statues contained infinite mysteries.

The entire reception room fell silent again......

After a few moments, it was Lydia who broke the silence

"Three pure Legendary Soul Crystals, one of them must be of the high-level Legendary level. ”

"An advanced legend, the relevant knowledge and opportunity to become a [Grand Arcanist]. ”

"Also, I need the Muse to help me do something, it won't involve the Arcane Ring, you have to give him time. ”

Lydia's words brought Sophie back from her distraction, and she instantly realized that it was Lydia's offer.

"Deal. ”

A smile appeared on her face, Sophie did not make a counteroffer, and immediately made a decision,

"Well, then, we can come and sign a contract. ”
