Testing out the right combination of basic spells and materials can be tedious - while the overall research environment at the Wizard Technology Research Institute is pleasant, that doesn't mean the research itself is easy and enjoyable.

Cohen has been conducting these basic tests for dozens of days, and in these dozens of days, he has tested nearly a hundred different magic materials with more than a dozen different magic effects, including new materials formed by mixing various magic materials, and in these tests, he has indeed found that some substances will change when stimulated by certain types of spells, such as softening, hardening, expanding and contracting, etc., but they fully meet the requirements of the project, and the process of reversible combination has not yet appeared.

But he still did these tests silently, and recorded the results of each test in detail.

He adapts to this kind of boring work, in fact, he even likes this kind of boring work a little, just as he also likes precision, likes planning, and likes to walk from the door of the institute into the laboratory with a good number of steps - when he was in the royal capital, there was once a girl he secretly liked commented that his quirks were "eccentric, rigid, and a little neurotic", but Cohen couldn't break his habits after all.

After a few test runes on the magic bench slowly dimmed, Cohen emptied the samples and placed them separately, then reset the environment. He took out a thin piece of copper-silver alloy from the sample box at hand, clamped it to a fixed stand in the center of the table, then pressed the stand down so that it touched the rune circuit carved on the table, and then he raised a set of metal devices next to the table—

The metal device resembles an arm made of several iron rods painted with runes, and at the front of the "arm" is a high-quality mana focusing crystal. Known as the "Magic Activator", this device is one of the most indispensable tools in the Magic Technology Lab. By adjusting the order of several rune triggers at the junction between the rune rod and the test table, it can be connected to a large rune "palette" located on the back of the table, and the disc-shaped rune device nicknamed the "palette" is pre-made with more than a dozen basic magic arrays, which can easily release the spell effects required by the experimenter.

The ordinary technicians in the Wizard Lab who don't have the talent for magic rely on this kind of thing to conduct complex magical experiments.

And a mage like Cohen, who has the ability to cast spells himself, quickly realized the value of the "magic activator" after coming into contact with it, and fell in love with this useful device in just a few days.

In his opinion, this is simply a great invention - the magic activator relies on the magic net buried under the laboratory floor for energy, so there is almost no problem of mana depletion, and it can release almost all kinds of basic spell effects, but ordinary spellcasters will be limited by talent, there is a situation where some spell cannot be released, and finally and the most satisfying point for Cohen is that the magic activator is a kind of machinery, and all its structure, materials, and parameters are fixed, before the failure, This device can guarantee that every spell blast released is exactly the same, and it is self-evident how much this means to those who are engaged in the study of magic!

Such a genius was invented by the young lady who was standing in the middle of the laboratory at the moment, discussing with a few high-ranking technicians—in fact, she had invented more than half of the new devices in the entire laboratory.

It is said that her cast level is only level three.

Everyone is a low-level mage, why is she so good...... Could it be because of the surname "Cecil"?

Cohen gathered the thoughts that were drifting through his mind and activated the mana stimulator.

The focused crystal quickly brightened, and a moment later, an arc of electricity struck the surface of the alloy from the tip of the crystal, leaving a shallow trail on the surface of the alloy as the crystal moved.

Cohen immediately began testing the alloy samples for changes after that and documented the results:

"X-Y/X/X-X, XX TEST, SAMPLE NUMBER XX, ARCANE LIGHTNING ACTED ON THE SURFACE OF THE COPPER-SILVER ALLOY, LEAVING DISCOLORATION DENTS, AND THE AREA OF THE SAMPLE AFFECTED BY MAGIC DEVELOPED A WEAK ARCANE AFFINITY, AND THE PROCESS WAS IRREVERSIBLE. This feature may be used to manufacture new high-performance array substrates......"

None of the tests so far have yielded the desired results, but that doesn't mean that these tests are meaningless, and in near-chance tests, researchers have discovered many new magical material properties, most of which are new properties of hybrid materials, all of which will be documented in detail, and one day in the future, perhaps one of these properties will come in handy - the project has been carried out to this day, and even some researchers have made the discovery of new material properties their work goal, And that's really motivating.

As an orthodox Mage of the Royal Capital, Cohen knew that in the past era, it was not without mages who discovered new material properties from daily experiments, or created new hybrid magic materials, but all the old-fashioned research was independent, closed, and fragmented, and those traditional mages found them in their own dark and cramped mage towers, and then regarded them as treasures, and may not share their discoveries with the outside world for the rest of their lives, and as long as these mages die, their discoveries will also be buried in the grave- It would be unthinkable for a large group of people to conduct large-scale tests in a planned and orderly manner, and then put all the findings together, while at the same time having someone in charge of coordinating the laws of the experiment.

That's why the efficiency of the experiments here is amazing.

After completing the data recording of this batch, Cohen did not rest, he sealed the samples and related records, handed them to his colleagues, and immediately prepared to test the next sample.

But just as he clamped the sample, aligned the crystal of the magic stimulator with the fixing bracket, and was about to press the rune trigger, a gradually muffled humming sound suddenly came from under the experimental table, and then the flickering runes on the tables of several groups around him, including his experimental table, dimmed.

"What's the matter, my device is down here......" "The new crystal, it's not overloaded, right?" "Is it stopped?" "Who's cooking noodles on the heating pad on the lab table again?" "Check the bolt - who's next to the bolt, see if the safety is burning."

Cohen was stunned for a moment, and then realized from the complaints that sounded around him that the problem was not on the experimental table, it should be the magic network node in the laboratory that had a problem - at present, there are two forms of magic power supply in the territory, one is the wireless magic field provided by the magic energy obelisk in each block, and the other is the traditional direct contact with the magic network to extract energy. Therefore, half of the test benches are connected to the magic web in the traditional way.

Immediately after reacting, Cohen put down what he was holding and walked around the back of his lab table, behind which an arm-thick hexagonal metal stake protruded from under the floor, what was known as an "inspection bolt".

One of the six silver-white facades of the inspection bolt was visibly blackened, and Cohen carefully leaned his hand up, immediately feeling a burst of heat.

He glanced at the location of the nodes represented by the blackened façade, waved his hand and shouted: "The nodes of the third or fourth ring of District 6 are burning, and the other nodes seem to be fine." ”

"Block that node first, and fix it when it's over," Rebecca in the center of the lab ordered, "And who I just heard about someone cooking noodles in the lab with a heating pad?" Has anyone really done that? ”

The lab fell silent......

Cohen also subconsciously shrunk his neck, he hadn't cooked anything with the heating pad on the lab bench, but he had baked bread......

But at that moment, the corner of his eye suddenly swept over the blackened, hot bolt from the surge of arcane energy.

As the surging arcane energy recedes, the changed Mithril coating on the inspection bolt is gradually returning to its original shape......

One of the properties of Mithril is that it accumulates mana in the process of absorbing arcane energy, and there is no change in appearance in the process; After the external arcane energy is gone, the mana is quickly released, and the mythril heats up and changes color in the process......

Mr. Magician, a young magician from the royal capital, fell into deep contemplation......

In the north of Cecil's main city, on the whitewater river wharf, a cargo ship with the Cecil Chamber of Commerce logo slowly approached the case under the command of the dock personnel.

The gangplank of the cargo ship landed on the trestle, and the captain stepped down to start handing over to the staff on the dock, and with the captain left the cargo ship, there was a stout figure and a dozen out-of-town civilians in shabby clothes.

"Did you form a group of immigrants?" The management of the dock saw the people who stepped off the gangplank, turned to the captain and said, "Don't forget to register, or these migrants will not be able to leave the pier area." ”

"I'm not responsible for these immigrants," the captain said, waving his hand, pointing to the extraordinarily strong figure, "they were brought by Mr. Reverend Wright. ”

"Mr. Wright?" The dock keeper saw that the one who had stepped off the gangplank was actually the priest of the territory—only that the priest was not wearing the iconic old priest's robe, but was wearing a burlap ragged garment similar to that of a pauper, so that he did not recognize it at once, but now that he recognized it, he immediately ran forward, "Mr. Wright! Have you not returned to the plain of the Holy Spirit? Why did you come back so soon? ”

"I've seen what I want to see, and naturally I'm going back where I'm supposed to be," Wright? Aviken smiled softly and pointed to the immigrants he had brought behind him, "These are the victims I have helped on the road, all of whom have been persecuted by the Church of Light, and the lord said he would accept them. ”

"Church persecution...... Oh, okay, I'll arrange the registration," the dock keeper didn't expect that the only priest in the territory would come back so soon, and he didn't expect that this Holy Light Priest would lead a team to bring back more than a dozen people who were persecuted by the Holy Light Church, this very informative fact made him freeze for a moment before he reacted, and then, he noticed that there seemed to be some faint blood stains on Wright's clothes, "Mr. Wright, this is ...... on your body"

Wright glanced down at the marks on his clothes that had not been cleaned, and shook his head helplessly: "When I reasoned with someone, I got it." ”

The dock manager breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's fine, I thought you'd be reasoning with the bears again - you've had enough of the bears." ”

(Push the book, push the book, the title of the book "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue", you know that it is a brain-opening book when you hear the name...... In a word, as long as the heart is big enough, there are ingredients everywhere, and it looks like a light-hearted and brain-opening book. This is also an ally, and it should also be milk-immortal. ）
