Chapter 248: Hetty's Experiment

Gawain and Amber went together to inspect the hundred or so future "intelligence elites", and on the way, Amber inquired about the rumors he heard in the territory: "By the way, I just heard that there is a new 'Ancient Grand Magus' in the territory?" ”

Gawain nodded, "His name is Kamel, and you'll be able to see him soon." ”

Amber's eyes flickered, and she didn't know what to think, and suddenly she said, "You dug people out of that ruin in the mountain?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It can't be said to be dug up," Gawain felt that this half-elf's choice of words and sentences was a little problematic, "He is trapped in another dimension......"

"That's what was dug up." Amber said as a matter of course, and then began to look Gawain up and down, until the latter looked goosebumps all over his body: "What do you mean by this look?" ”

"There's another one in the territory!" Miss Half-Elf slapped her face, "Are you because you feel that there is a generation gap between you and everyone because you are an ancient person in your territory, so you decided to dig a person that is older than yourself?" But don't you have a generation gap too? ”

Gao Wen suddenly felt that the knock on this guy just now was a little light......

However, Amber's nine-twisted and eighteen-bent thinking and Geng Zhi's big mouth are not a day or two, Gao Wen has already cultivated a good immunity, as long as she doesn't pay attention to this guy, she will soon be quiet herself.

But this time, Amber's balabala seemed to be a little more powerful than usual, even if Gawain ignored her, she herself kept opening new topics next to her, and after being nagged by this half-elf for most of the way, Gawain finally couldn't help but glance at her: "Why did you say so much this time?" ”

"Is there one?" Amber was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't think so!" ”

"You're a little nervous," Gawain looked at the guy helplessly, "you're going to talk a lot of nonsense when you're nervous, and you can't feel it yet." ”

Being reminded by Gawain like this, Amber realized that she had inadvertently exposed her emotional changes, and while sighing why a knight should be so sharp, she finally nodded a little embarrassed: "To be honest...... It's a little, but I'm not nervous. ”

Gawain had actually vaguely guessed Amber's thoughts: "Is it because of those people you brought?" ”

"Almost...... Amber laughed dryly, "I just wanted to say ...... Those guys are bastards who grew up in the gutter, and gangsters, liars, and thieves are their main characters in the past, and although they all swore to follow the rules before they came, I know what they do...... I hope you'll be prepared and don't get angry with them because of their vulgarity. Those...... Actually, it's a bunch of pretty good guys. ”

Gawain stopped and looked at Amber with a smirk, until the other party looked away in embarrassment, and then he smiled and said, "It's rare to see you speak so cautiously - and to excuse others in advance." ”

"I've had a lifelong friendship with themβ€”even though it was years ago," Amber pouted, "I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pull them along, but I can't help but feel at ease with their money." ”

Gawain shook his head with a smile, and suddenly brought up a seemingly unrelated topic: "You know the royal shadow guards who are loyal to the Ansu royal family, right?" ”

Amber was stunned for a moment, and suddenly nodded: "I know, I met one last time we went to the royal capital - the one who was kicked out of the Shadow Realm by me and almost didn't faint into a grandson is the Royal Shadow Guard, right?" ”

Gawain: "...... Don't worry about that one's erroneous record, it's really head-to-head with the shadow guard at the time, and ten of you won't be enough for him to clean up. The Royal Shadow Guard is one of the most powerful stalkers and intelligence officers trained by the Ansu royal family, and from the very beginning of the Ansu Kingdom, they have been responsible for secretly protecting the kingdom and collecting all kinds of intelligence for the king - and I am one of the original trainers of the Royal Shadow Guard. ”

"I seem to remember you saying that," Amber frowned and tried to recall, "Oh, you taught them two-handed swordsmanship and physical training......"

Gawain was choked again, and it was not a good feeling to be choked back again and again when he tried to show his B-grid, but he continued with his head: "...... I did teach them both, but in addition to that, I was also involved in developing the full training process for the Royal Shadow Guard. ”

Amber finally understood what Gawain meant, but her face was full of surprise: "Could it be ...... You're going to train those unbeatable guys the same way you train the royal guards? ”

Without waiting for Gao Wen to answer, she waved her hand vigorously: "Don't be kidding, I don't know how many pounds and taels those guys have?" What can they do other than cheat and deceive people with a few tricks, and it is enough to train them to be ordinary soldiers, not to mention that kind of elite. ”

"They don't need to be too strong, and I don't expect to train them exactly according to the standards of the Royal Shadow Guard," Gawain smiled and shook his head, "The Royal Shadow Guard is still different from the intelligence officers I asked for, and I don't need such an elite group of fighters...... Intelligence gathering, covert contact, identity disguise, and the use of espionage tools, they have a lot to learn as ordinary people. You should have some confidence in them. ”

"I don't know what you're thinking," Amber couldn't help but scratch her hair as she looked at the confident Gawain, "but you guy always has a lot of ideas, and I believe you're good this time." ”

At the same time, in the magic laboratory in the southern part of the territory, Hetty and Rebecca, whom she had brought in as assistants, were bowing their heads and testing a strange-looking "stone".

They carved out a large open space in the center of the magic laboratory, and on the ground were laid a "portable hive magic net" spliced with rune substrates that was easy to disassemble and move, and between the hive cells of the magic net, three red copper substrates for conducting magic were placed - these three substrates were arranged in a zigzag shape, and in the center of them were placed a "stone" dozens of centimeters high and roughly in the shape of an obelisk.

The "stone" has a deep purple sheen on the surface, and the texture is somewhere between crystal and metal – it is the original Holm that has been purified and reforged.

In order to purify this strange magic material, Hetty and Hammer of the metal smelter have put a lot of thought into it - unlike ordinary metal ores, Holm rough cannot be smelted and cast by simple high-temperature calcination, and after the temperature increases, these rough stones will only fall apart, and eventually become a useless powder like sand, and although Nicholas Egg successfully overcame the symptoms of "allergic cold" to Holm rough, his metal manipulation ability has no effect on these ores- In the end, the purification problem was solved, but it was a seemingly inadvertent wrong operation.

Hetty accidentally poured the acid used for the experiment into the container containing the original sample, only to find that the ore that did not enter the oil and salt would be dissolved by the acid, and the useless components in the ore became a residue that could be filtered out in the process of reacting with the acid, and the acid itself finally became a smeltable powder after a series of subsequent reactions, displacements, and purifications, and after a series of melting and casting of these mineral powders, Hetty obtained the first pure Holm crystal.

After confirming that the precious Holm crystal had been stably connected to the magic net, Hetty turned to look at Rebecca, who was standing next to a magic circle in the corner of the room, "Can you sense the magic field over there?" ”

Rebecca (who had already been searched) glanced at the sensing crystal in the center of the magic array, the crystal was emitting a faint light, and the dozen runes around the crystal lit up three: "There you have it!" But the strength is still very low......"

Hetty frowned slightly, looking at the Holm crystal connected to the magic net: "Hmm...... After purification, it becomes very easy to release the magic field, and it can work just by connecting it with the most basic magic net unit, which shows that the purification is indeed effective, but the strength of the magic field has not changed much...... Could it be that the upper limit of the magic field that this thing can release is so large? ”

Rebecca said as she recalled, "I remember when you injected an extra mana into the crystal just now, the strength of the mana field increased for a moment......"

Hetty frowned, "Yes?" Why didn't I feel it? ”

Rebecca was a little unconfident: "That's probably because I read ...... wrong"

"No, we can try," Hetty was a person who wouldn't let go of any details, and when she heard Rebecca mention this, she immediately picked up her staff, put the tip of her staff close to the purified Holm crystal on the ground, and then released a simplest infusion spell, "Do you see any changes in the induction crystal?" ”

"It seems to have lit up for a while......"

"What do you mean by 'as if'?" Hetty glared at Rebecca, "How many times have you said that magic experiments are very rigorous, and you can't use words like 'like' or 'probably'!" Let's try again! ”

Hetty and Rebecca were busy testing the purified Holm Crystal, while in the Rune Research Institute, far away from the magic lab, Carmel was very attentive to the "textbook" that Jenny had brought out.

This ancient magister from a thousand years ago eagerly absorbed all the knowledge of this era that could come in handy, whether it was from a knowledgeable scholar or from a small fourth-level rune master, as long as it was useful, he was happy to learn - although he felt rather disdainful when he first learned that a young girl who was not even a junior mage was leading the rune research of the realm, but after seeing the rune logic materials that Jenny had brought out, The ancient scholar who loved to study was deeply impressed by this novel theory.

Jenny, on the other hand, looked at the incredible form of the archmage in front of her with a mixture of awe and joy, she was startled at the first sight of Carmel, and even more nervous and uneasy after knowing the identity of the other party - although she had adapted to Cecil's new life of ease and respect, the pressure from the high magicians continued to weigh on her heart, and in her mind, the powerful archmages were proud, cold, and terrifying, Not only will these powerful spellcasters be dismissive of weaklings like themselves, but they will also regard their research results as deviant, and how proud and elusive should an ancient magician who has lived from a thousand years ago to the present day be like those of today's magicians?

She was ready to face Kamel's wrath and was ready to uphold the dignity of rune logic in this situation, but she didn't expect that this ancient magus would not be angry at all after seeing rune logic, but instead showed great interest in research.

This made her very happyβ€”it turned out that the archmages and magisters were not all so unkind.

Kamel looked down and read for a long time, and didn't raise his head until he finished reading the discussion about the interference knot, he seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, his body suddenly trembled slightly, and then a puzzled voice followed: "Huh? ”

Jenny suddenly became nervous: "Master Carmel, what's wrong with you?" ”

The arcane light flow on Kamel's body gradually stabilized: "I don't know...... I itched suddenly. ”

In the magic laboratory, far away from the Rune Research Institute, Hetty once again placed the staff on top of the Holm Crystal, and while preparing to release the magic, he told Rebecca: "Look carefully this time, and be sure to count how many runes are lit up!" ”

As the words fell, a small cloud of white light erupted from the tip of Hetty's staff, and the Holm crystal lit up slightly.

In the Rune Research Institute, as soon as Kamal controlled the hand of plastic energy to put down the information in front of him, his body trembled again.

Jenny became nervous again: "Master Carmel? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I don't know what's going on, but I itched again......"
