Chapter XVIII: The Greatest Taboo
Simon looked at the students below, with a serious expression, and pushed the glasses with thick lenses with his right hand, and the silence in the classroom seemed to be clearly heard on the ground as if a needle had dropped.
"The first taboo." The old man raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger to draw a number, "If you violate it, you will only be imprisoned." ”
"But! Article 2. He held out another middle finger, "If you break it, it's not just a matter of going to jail. ”
"Human beings were created by God, and the human body has been refined into a realm that desecrates the gods and also desecrates the human beings themselves, and those who violate the taboo will be punished by the gods, so once they use this forbidden alchemy, they will die-"
Simon's voice was a little gloomy, "And there are no dead bodies." ”
"Of course, God is also merciful, and there are people who are lucky enough not to die, but who live in pain."
"I'm telling you this now, because I don't want anyone like that among my students, and I don't want to be at my student's funeral one day, do you understand?"
The old man was a little emotional when he said these words, and although everyone did not know what the divine punishment would be, they could also hear from the old man's mouth that he was concerned about them.
"Alright, remember what I just said, let's start the lecture and take the box in front of you to the side, we won't need it for this class."
The old man with the long beard finally started the official class, and the words he said to his classmates at first were a little depressing for the children, and the classroom was silent when he spoke, but they were relieved to hear that they were finally about to get to the point.
"Alchemy is a cutting-edge academic discipline based on the principle of equivalent exchange, the understanding, decomposition, and re-construction of matter."
"Modern alchemy is different from ancient alchemy that uses the power of the gods, it is powered by magic, and as I said earlier, alchemy is a study of magic. It needs to use a magic circle, and I think you've already taken the magic circle class, right? ”
Simon looked at everyone with questions, and after receiving the nods of all the students, he continued: "The magic array is called the alchemy array in alchemy, and different alchemy arrays can have different effects, but when your comprehension ability reaches a certain level, you can simplify the alchemy array, and the more simplistic the alchemy array is, the more it shows that the alchemy is profound. ”
"Now, I'll show you alchemy, and ask you to get out of your seat at the front of the lectern."
The students gathered around the lectern one after another, because the classroom was very empty, and there were not many students, only seventeen or eighteen people, so the area around the lectern was still very spacious.
"Oh~~ Be careful, Finch." Simon said.
Ellie saw a little fat man who almost tripped and fell to the ground as he left his seat because he was too wide.
After being told by the teacher, Finch, the only little fat man in the class, scratched his head and stepped forward a little embarrassed.
When the last man came to Simon's side, the old man glanced at all his students.
"I'm going to show you a relatively simple alchemy first, alchemy must use alchemy arrays, and we can now use magic to compose it."
After saying that, a burst of blue light flashed with his hands, and a circular pattern gathered in the palm of his hand, which was a circle surrounded by threads, and there was a triangle in the circle that just fit the circle frame.
"All alchemy arrays are based on the circle type, which is also the power of the circle in alchemy, which represents the cycle of power."
In the surprised eyes of the students, Simon pressed his hands on the lectern, a burst of lightning-like light flashed, they were surprised to see that the lectern pressed by Simon actually began to deform, a protrusion slowly rose from the lectern, and finally turned into a small puppet, the doll is much lower around than other places, and there are traces of decomposition, that should be made into a puppet and the missing part, which also confirms what Simon just said.
The principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange.
The students also saw that the doll was in the form of a little girl, with a vivid expression, wearing the uniform of the pastor's class, and most importantly, a kitten lying on the head of the doll, which happened to be one of the people in the class.
Ellie looked at the eyes of the people around her very embarrassed, a little overwhelmed, so she simply grabbed Cialis's arm and stopped looking at them, concentrating on the little doll.
The doll was picked up by a hand, and Ellie followed the trajectory of the doll's movement and saw that the owner of the hand was looking at her with a smile at the moment.
"To you, sweet boy, you're the most special of all the students I've ever taught, and oh, and the kitten on your head." Simon said with a smile.
"Thank you, teacher." Ellie nodded in thanks, a little flattered, took the doll from the old man's hand, she looked at the lifelike little figure in her hand, if it wasn't for the lack of color, it was like herself, the girl never thought that she would have such a small and cute time.
"Alright, boys, it's time for you to get back to your seats." The students' eyes reluctantly moved away from Ellie's puppet and walked back to their seats.
After seeing everyone sit down, Simon said, "Just now, I demonstrated the basic alchemy, if you are willing to study hard, you can soon make a puppet for yourself like me." ”
The students looked at Simon excitedly, and after watching him use alchemy, they finally understood why there was a box of sand grains on the table, and maybe soon they could use alchemy to turn the fine sand inside the box into a house and a villain.
Simon smiled when he saw the longing in the students' eyes.
"Alright, grab your books, and let's start working on the first chapter."
------------------------------ dividing line------------------------------
After school, Mr. Simon walked out of the classroom, and the students lined up to leave slowly, they all had some unfinished business, after all, alchemy is really an interesting class.
The same is true for Ellie, in her opinion, magic fighting qi is like the martial arts taught in martial arts schools on earth, and alchemy is the scientific knowledge taught in those schools, of course, this is only in terms of emphasis.
Ellie and Hylis walked to the door and saw Mr. Simon, who had not yet left, and was talking to someone, and saw that it was Principal Bill.
The girl overhears the two discussing the lectern at which Mr. Simon demonstrated alchemy during the lesson.
"Old man, you've broken another lectern......" said Principal Bill.
"Oh, that's it, I'll help you refine it later."
"......, your lecture desk is on average 5 centimeters lower than the desks of other teachers, don't you have anything to say......?" Bill was a little depressed.
"Nope." Simon replied categorically, without the slightest hint of shame in his tone.
"You bad old man!" Bill was a little angry.
"Are you talking about yourself?" Simon glanced at Bill and said.
Bill: "......"
Ellie looked at the two old men with some amusement, pulled Cialys and bowed to the two of them before walking away, she still had to buy ingredients to make dinner.
