Chapter 54: The Philosopher's Stone
Char's consciousness was immersed in personal space, staring at the two pages of Kakule's diary, and quietly activating the decoder.
"What are the contents of Kakule's diary on these two pages?"
Char was looking forward to it, and he had a hunch that the contents of these two pages of his diary were of great importance to him.
"I was wrong! I was completely mistaken! I originally thought that the reader sequence was the weakest sequence! Unforgettable and Dream Wandering are the most frustrating abilities! As it turned out, I was wrong! ”
"No wonder the Dream Sect was exterminated by other sects in the middle of the Second Age! The doctrinal texts of the Dream Sect were also burned! ”
"It turns out... The Dream Sect is the greatest sect of all! With great power and endless possibilities! The existence of the Dream Sect terrifies the other sects! Those rival sects that have a deep blood feud will abandon their previous suspicions, unite and destroy the Dream Sect together. ”
"Except for the Dream Codex in my hand, there should be no Book of the Dream Sect in the world! It is the key to my success! ”
"The Kabbalah Tree of Life Atlas is almost complete! Among the twenty-two basic sequences, the reader sequence is the strongest! This sequence surpasses all sequences and is the most promising to reach the crown! It's not just theoretically strong... It's the power of the direction! Even in terms of combat effectiveness, the reader sequence is not weaker than those battle sequences. ”
"But... The strength of the reader is built on the foundation of relics. Numbered 0-13 'Philosopher's Stone', the legendary philosopher's stone, can fulfill the user's wishes and make dreams come true. In the distant Second Age, some denominations referred to it as the 'Holy Grail'. Only those who have the Philosopher's Stone are truly powerful! ”
"So is the reader sequence powerful? Or is it the strength of the Philosopher's Stone itself? Whatever? Anyway, when I refine the Philosopher's Stone, none of the other sequences of Adepts will be my opponent! ”
"I didn't expect that I, a scientist, would study alchemy after becoming famous! Fortunately, the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone is not difficult, and even the most lame chemist can refine the basic form of the Philosopher's Stone. The key is the catalyst... Only by finding a catalyst can the perfect Philosopher's Stone be refined, not a defective product. ”
"The materials and methods for refining the Philosopher's Stone, I will copy them here..."
"Now the key question is, where do I go to find another Philosopher's Stone, even if it's a fragment, as a catalyst? Chicken or egg? Without the Philosopher's Stone, you can't refine the Philosopher's Stone? I want to say, who refined the first Philosopher's Stone? God? What a ridiculous circle of logic! But I'm sure I'll be able to solve it! ”
After reading the contents of the two pages of the diary, Char's heart was extremely shocked.
Judging from the contents of the diary, during this time period, Dr. Kakul had completed the Kabbalah Tree of Life Atlas, identified twenty-two basic sequences, and his achievements shocked the entire scientist and even the human world.
History books record that Dr. Kakule became obsessed with alchemy and theology after drawing a map of the inverted tree.
This matches what is written in the diary.
Dr. Kakule studied alchemy and refined the "Philosopher's Stone", a relic numbered "0-13".
The Philosopher's Stone, which seems to have the power to make dreams come true, is essential for the Reader Sequence's Abilities.
However, Dr. Kakule's alchemical research does not seem to be going well.
No one knows if Dr. Kakule has refined the "Philosopher's Stone".
Of course, there is a high probability that there is none.
Char speculated that Dr. Kakule's sudden disappearance may have something to do with the "Philosopher's Stone".
"These two pages of Kakule's diary... Some shocking information was recorded. But to me, it doesn't seem to be of much use. The Philosopher's Stone, a relic that only exists in legends, is too ethereal for me. ”
Char was a little disappointed.
He prefers to have access to Dr. Kakule's diary from his student days.
In this way, Char may be able to figure out how Dr. Kakule went from being a scumbag to becoming a world-famous scientist.
What's more, Dr. Kakule is also a reader of the Reader's Sequence.
Char wanted to get a deeper understanding of the reader sequence from his diary.
After all, Char knew almost nothing about the reader sequence, and he didn't even know what the name of Sequence 3 was, let alone what special abilities Sequence 3 had.
"But... Kakule's diary is completely scattered, and I can't choose the order of the diary. Hopefully, next time, the Red Witch and Merlin will bring me some useful journals. Char sat cross-legged on the bed, held the yoga pose, detached her soul, and began to wander in the dream realm.
......
Nine o'clock the next morning.
Char arrives at the office, and he finds that his colleagues look even more aloof about him.
Even Ava turned a blind eye to him, passing by without even looking at him.
Recalling Ava's charming smile, Char laughed to herself: "I seem to be in love with a robot." And her memories of me, have been erased. ”
"Char, come on." Dewey pushed open the door and called Char into his office.
"Teacher, what do you command?" Char asked.
"From today onwards, you don't have to be in the office like those robots. That's a waste of time, a waste of life. Dewey flipped through the materials on the table.
"So what should I do?" Char was surprised.
"Whatever you want. Read books, study. Or take a look outside. Building a dream requires not only knowledge, but also experience. Rich life experience can make building dreams twice as effective with half the effort. Dewey looked up at Char, "If you really don't know what you're supposed to do." I just received an application. One of our clients had a question that needed to be answered by a Dream Builder. Speaking of which, you know this customer too. ”
"Who is it?" Char blinked, the person he knew in Hope City was less than a slap in the face.
"Your original landlord, Locke." Dewey stood up, put a silver collar around Char's neck, and said, "This is a positioning device, if you are in danger, the company will send someone to rescue you." Also, your range of activities is Hope City! Don't leave the confines of Hope City. ”
"Positioning device... Monitor the device. Char touched the cold collar around his neck, and his heart was half cold.
What happens if you leave the confines of Hope City?
Char suspected that the neck ring might contain a high-voltage device or even a small bomb.
Once Char shows the intention to escape, or behaves abnormally, the hidden mechanism in the neck ring will be activated, and he will be wiped out.
