40. Eggs
Adam handed a few things to Elliot unconcernedly, and the surprise in Elliot's heart was higher than a while, although he had expected that the reward would not be too small, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.
The contract aside, this is what Adam really deserves, and the tower can't possibly owe anything in this regard. The meaning of the other things is different, the materialized rune comes from the second element of the Holy Tower, this kind of rune that allows the apprentice to obtain a portable space at this stage is very valuable, this is still the only one among the apprentices of the Moldor Academy, and the pass of the library represents the tower's optimism about Adam's future, which is a vague pull.
The most incredible thing was the egg, which Elliot held up and said to Adam, "I can't believe that the Tower will reward you with something of this level." It seems to come from the abyss, my friend, you must be careful, the creatures of the abyss are chaotic and evil, and if your strength cannot overpower it, it will be eaten. ”
Adam took the news to heart, but had nothing to worry about being overtaken by his own pet.
Adam said flatly, "This is a reward from Master Victor, he said that I helped him solve a big problem," and then he asked a little strangely, "Also, do you know what the trial is like after nine months?"
Elliot reluctantly returned the four things to Adam, muttering, "If you're willing to sell them, you'll become rich in an instant, that's jealous!" and then Elliot gloated at Adam, "You don't even know about the trial, ha, I forgot, you've been in the lab lately." ”
Then Elliot told Adam the reason for the trial, Adam frowned, whether the apprentices hated him or not didn't mean anything to him, he only cared about the trial itself, with his strength, if the trial was only carried out among this group of apprentices, Adam could easily wipe them out, but through the information revealed in Master Victor's words, the trial obviously couldn't be so simple.
Adam turned to Elliot and asked, "Do you know how the trial works?"
Elliot shook his head: "Every time is different, sometimes it is to throw all the apprentices into the secret realm to kill each other and survive the qualifications, and sometimes it is to throw them into the habitat of the monster and survive the qualifications." It depends on the arrangement of the college. ”
Adam didn't get any useful news from Eliot, but he didn't need to worry too much, since it was a trial, he couldn't escape the battle, just prepare for the battle, and there were still nine months left, and Adam could master as much magic as possible through the convenience of reading books for free.
"And this egg. "Adam turned it upside down, and it would be useful if it could be hatched in nine months...... Adam didn't know the growth cycle of such an ectopous creature, and it was doubtful what a 'baby' could be for.
......
Adam thought about his own affairs along the way, and did not choose to fly back to the laboratory, which also made the apprentices see Adam again, with strange hatred in his eyes.
"Can a genius do whatever he wants?"
"Can a genius ignore the lives of others?"
"Why are we in the same batch with this kind of person, this damned, selfish ......"
These people have strange ideas, they don't look for reasons in themselves, they don't actively fight for choice, but passively go with the flow and complain that the water doesn't flow the way they want.
They only dared to say it to themselves in their hearts, or whispered complaints, and they didn't even dare to let Adam hear it, Adam's shot not long ago had a very good effect, at least no fools jumped out to disturb him, they knew that Adam would really kill someone.
William stood in the distance and watched Adam, struggling in his heart.
Only four of them survived the desert island apprentices, Ophelia disappeared after joining the laboratory, Krystel was accepted as a disciple by the official mage, and Adam exuded an unconcealable light, only he, completely unknown to everyone, and even more sad that he couldn't find a way out.
The affinity of the soul fire element used to make him proud, but when he arrived at the academy, he found that it was not worth much, and there was no way for people to look up to him, it would be fine if the academy could keep the status quo all the time, but he could think with his knees that the situation in the academy would change drastically after the trial, and if he didn't seek change, he would be completely destroyed.
But he has no resources and no connections, Duke Alfred's support for him is those magic items, all of which he has sold for power stones so far, but he has not been able to learn a few magic until the power stones are exhausted.
So he thought of Adam, the 'companion' who had already set up his own laboratory, and he knew the power of telekinesis from his own path, and realized that this was an opportunity to change his current situation.
William watched Adam's figure about to walk into the building, and finally let out a long breath of turbidity, and smiled miserably, it's not a shame to admit defeat to such a person, right?
After convincing himself, William hurried after Adam and shouted, "Adam, please wait a minute. ”
Adam had been thinking about how the egg would hatch, Dean Victor hadn't told him, Adam had guessed from the feeling after touching the eggshell, but he needed to go to the library to confirm, and it was then that he heard a voice behind him: "William." ”
William said directly: "Adam, I apply to join your laboratory as a ...... Participate in your research as an experiment. ”
Adam didn't expect to hear such words, he looked at William and asked, "What are the units of your initial mental power?"
William also didn't expect Adam to ask like this, after all, there was a conflict before, and William was ready to be directly rejected or even humiliated, but now Adam's attitude towards him is no different from that towards a stranger.
"Sure enough, Adam didn't even take me seriously. ”
William came to this conclusion in frustration, and replied, "3.75." ”
James is a low-qualified sample, Frank is a special sample, so William can be used as an ordinary sample, and getting data from multiple samples can help improve the meditation method - this is what Adam thought after seeing the sharing contract, any research needs to consume a lot of resources, and the biggest source of resources he currently gets is telekinesis, in this case, it is better to appropriately turn the research to universality.
Of course, the role of the test is to save him some time, and then he only needs to deal with the problems that have been summarized.
Thinking of this, Adam said to William: "Yes, come to my laboratory early tomorrow morning to report, and I will prepare the contract in advance." ”
Adam turned around and left after speaking, this is just a trivial matter, it is foreseeable that when the motivation really spreads, there will be many people who will apply to join, whether there is William among these people, it makes no difference to Adam.
......
I hadn't been to the library for a long time, and the first floor was much more lively than before, and Adam noticed a strange phenomenon where some apprentices would get together several people to read a book.
"Adam. "Adam. ”
A few senior apprentices who stayed on the first floor greeted Adam, attracting the attention of the rookies, and they looked at Adam with the same gaze as the previous ones, and the funny thing was that when Adam passed by, he would get out of the way with awe and fear.
Adam returned the salute one by one and walked to the bookshelf of the Alien Plane and began to check the materials of the Abyss Plane.
Adam didn't pay attention to these books before, because he knew that he was still far from being able to participate in the plane war, and there was no need to waste the power stones here.
Through the book Adam learned that the abyssal plane is a kind of chaotic and disorderly distorted plane, this kind of plane has no civilization, every creature has to fight and kill from birth to take away survival resources, they follow instinct, talented, can enhance the destructive power through continuous devouring.
Adam put the books back on the shelves, and this general introduction did not help him, and he made his way to the second floor of the library for the first time.
The library, like most buildings, is in the shape of a tower, the higher the level of knowledge, the fewer books, Adam is a very purposeful person, although he is very curious about magical knowledge, he did not stop, went straight to the heterotopic surface to see and hear the bookshelf, and sure enough, here he found what he needed - "The Incubation and Cultivation of Abyssal Creatures".
"Abyssal life is a peculiar kind of life, their evolution is chaotic and cruel, the more powerful they are, the more disordered. Their recipe covers all, aether, energy, flesh and blood, and there is nothing they can't devour. And this devouring is one-sided, there is only entry, no feedback. ”
Adam looked at the first sentence of the opening chapter thoughtfully, according to the earth, life is the only entropy reduction phenomenon in the closed entropy increase system of the universe, but in this high demon world, there will actually be entropy increase life, that is, after the abyssal creatures are strong enough to a certain extent, they will destroy the plane they are in, and then turn to invade the other planes.
Adam felt that this was no different from a mage, except that the mage would feed back the mage world by invading the rest of the planes.
The form of abyssal creatures is not fixed, their appearance is often beyond the scope of description, but the method of hatching is nothing special, this kind of thing is easy to feed, as long as there is enough energy, enough flesh and blood. But the point is to constantly carve the master-servant contract with your own blood and spiritual power at the beginning of the incubation, so that it will be controlled by the mage.
The rune set of the master-servant contract is not complicated, and it took Adam less than an hour to memorize it, but the master-servant contract is not a peace of mind as soon as it is signed, and if the mage strength as a master cannot keep up with the growth rate of the servant, the servant will definitely back.
The last line of the book catches Adam's attention: creatures of the abyss are not allowed to appear on the mage plane after reaching level 1, otherwise they will be destroyed by the Guardian of the World.
