"So, what do we see when we turn our gaze to the void and set aside our known common sense about the world? or what exactly does ...... 'it' make us see?

It is debatable to know that this is a shadowy 'world', and it is debatable whether it can even be defined in the simple and broad word 'world'. It does not exist in space, so all the fundamental laws do not exist, it does not exist in time, so all experience and common sense are meaningless!

This is a field that abandons common sense, subjective conjecture and all objective universal truths that you are exposed to, and can only be accessed by the most basic reason!

That's right! After my own unique discernment and long-term research and judgment, it is wrong to define the void as a 'world'! That famous book "Step into Meditation" is not nonsense, but reasonable! It is not a world, but a 'being', a 'being' that exists because it does not exist!

Therefore, the root of using the power of the void is to 'deceive', to deceive the material world, to make what was contrary to common sense or even impossible to achieve become a reasonable and existing fact, and to turn the non-existent 'power of the void' into energy like wind and flame, or a healing potion that is enough to reverse injuries and even cure all diseases!

Yes, not because these are really reasonable, but through a series of complex processes, the void power has 'deceived' the real material world, and we have not really healed our injuries and diseases, nor have we really ignited the flame through heating or friction, but we have 'deceived' the material world into "believing" that the flame is burning and that the injury is healed!

And this is the core theory of all my recent research!"

At the end of his speech, Isaac Grantham, who was covered in foul smell, raised his chin proudly and stood in front of the stacks of books and the blackboard full of various runes, waiting for the thunderous applause and shouting of exclamation from the audience.

Unfortunately, the two people sitting in front of him did not move at all, except for covering their noses because of the rotting salted fish stench on his body.

Well, it's very faceless.

Loren could barely understand what Isaac was talking about, and though he didn't fully understand it, he could vaguely understand that it had something to do with the 'Holy Blood Elixir' and his research on the use of the Void as energy.

Loren had been vaguely aware of Isaac's research at Wimpal Academy - he seemed to have been working on it a long time ago, but progress had been very slow, and it seemed that it was only after the "Bright Silver" that he really got on track.

Vera, on the other hand, as a "half-caster" who knows little about the void, or basically has zero - she has only learned the spell "Beyond Perception", and her thoughts are much more straightforward.

The man named Isaac Grantham was indeed a friend of the dark-haired wizard, who did not understand what he was saying, and who was incessantly confident, and who looked like a mad psychopath, and who was full of gibberish and all sorts of strange and evil things.

Well, weirdos are always good friends with weirdos, and this sentence really makes sense.

Thinking of this, Vera, who looked dazed, instinctively took a half step back and hid behind Loren, as if this would increase a lot of security.

............, "So, you've been in this wrecked ship all this time, researching and helping Aalto Bellini perfect the Holy Blood Elixir?"

In the cabin piled high with books, parchment scrolls, and blackboards, the black-haired wizard who endured the stench asked Isaac in a tentative tone, "Do you really not realize that you are actually imprisoned by him?"

"Captivity? huh...... Indeed, at first I really thought he was simply worshipping me, and as you know, a wizard as talented as me is a rare existence in the world, and it is not strange to have one or two followers, and it makes sense. ”

Isaac, who waved his hand very implicitly, and his expression was not "proud" at all, said with a reasonable expression: "The most important thing is that he has come up with a very interesting idea, which is not inferior to Ain's 'Void Sword'...... No, no, no, it should even be said that it is completely transcendent, very bold idea!"

"Holy Blood Elixir?"

"That's it!" Isaac, who was covered with stubble and messy hair, suddenly widened his eyes, and that appearance startled Vera on the side: "If in the eyes of others, this so-called potion is simply impossible! But fortunately he met me, and my greatest talent is to make the 'impossible' become 'possible'!"

"Then you're going to help him for this reason?!" Vera looked at the madman in surprise: "Do you know how bad they are?!"

"Why should I know? Ideas are innocent, especially when it's a very interesting idea. Isaac looked at the red-haired girl as a matter of course, even looking at the red-haired girl like a fool: "As a wizard, I suspect you don't even have the slightest basic common sense, besides...... Your intelligence should be normal, right?"

"You?!"

Before Vera could pounce, Loren stopped her, allowing a certain genius to escape the fate of being flattened by the sea. He also handed over a bottle of wine: "What happened later?"

"I found out later that he wasn't going to let me go. After taking a sip of wine, a certain genius let out a long sigh, and his expression became a little depressed: "Although I don't care, I have all the materials I need for my research, and someone takes care of my three meals a day, and I don't have to go out to communicate with those stupid potatoes, which is more comfortable than when I was in Wimpal." ”

"The only regret is that I can't meet the old man who likes to smoke pipes, and although he doesn't seem to like me very much, I don't really like him either...... But he's the only one who understands what I'm saying. ”

Saying that, Isaac quickly explained to Loren: "Don't get me wrong, you and Ain are my only friends, and I care about you very much. But...... Sometimes not everything can be talked to you. ”

"I can understand that. The black-haired wizard nodded very tolerantly, and guessed that the "old man" he was talking about should be Master Freswalker. Then he asked, "I have one more thing to say, but I have to ask clearly—why is Altofei holding you all the time?"

"Well, that's a good question, I'm actually wondering about it too!" Isaac shrugged and guessed nonchalantly, "I guess it's because he still needs me to help him perfect that Holy Blood Elixir, but what else could it be?"

"That Holy Blood Elixir isn't finished yet?!"

As soon as Isaac finished speaking, a stunned Vera stood up and screamed.

"What's so strange about this?" Isaac once again looked at the red-haired girl with the same eyes as if he were mentally retarded, "The research of this alchemical potion usually lasts for a long time, and it is not surprising that it took more than ten years or even decades. Even with my own ingenuity, it would take about a year to complete the basic construction of the runes!"

“...... And how much have you accomplished?" asked Loren, who was also surprised.

"Almost a tenth, the most basic is done. Spreading his hands, Isaac looked smug and wanted to hide it: "But this kind of potion can't be used directly - a small amount may be fine, but the side effects will definitely be there, and maybe it will be eroded by the power of the void." ”

Hearing this answer, Loren and Vera, who suddenly felt a hint of horror, looked at each other, and after glancing at each other, the black-haired wizard asked again:

"What do you think...... What kind of side effects should I have?"

"How could I know that I don't know such a low subject as alchemy. Isaac waved his hand disdainfully: "If Ain is here, maybe I can help explain." However, from what I know, the erosion caused by this Holy Blood Elixir is direct, after all, it is necessary to heal the wounds, or even to resurrect the severed limbs. ”

“...... So?"

"So if the user's resistance is not strong, the body may be distorted, and there will be several pairs of eyes or hooves and claws or something, right?"

Not noticing the increasingly wrong expressions of the two people, Isaac replied very naturally: "First of all, the body, then the brain, so powerful void power is impossible for ordinary people to eat."

Anyway, in the end, it will probably be twisted into some kind of brainless, messy monster, right?

Well, that's how it should be!"
