Chapter 450: Honest Proposal
Obviously, as Charles no longer needs to teach the courses himself, and he spends most of his time in a private laboratory, Charles has no idea about the alchemy laboratory that the Esoteric Society works with the Academy.
However, Su Mu's operation deliberately led the topic to this point, so that Charles, who was the third seat of the college, could just hear about it from the dean very "unexpectedly".
Although Charles, who was ranked third at the Mystery Round Table, Su Mu did only see it for the first time today.
But in fact, regarding every member of the Mystery Roundtable, Su Mu has already gone through many ways, has already understood their resumes in detail, and at the same time covets their abilities.
Even in today's magic academy, among the top three seats with the highest qualifications and realms, Su Mu wanted to contact the one most immediately...... In fact, it was Charles, who was in third place.
The head of the round table of the academy was a high-level peak summoning archmage, although this person did have terrifying strength comparable to that of ten thousand armies, but he was not the object that Su Mu could learn.
And the second seat of the Mystic Round Table, he is indeed a mage of the Earth Rift system, and he does have something in common with Su Mu in magic. But this person's background is actually the same as Lu Xi, and he also comes from a large family in the Federation. With such a deep background, it is naturally impossible for Su Mu to take advantage of it.
Speaking of which, the only person who can really be quietly wooed by Su Mu is Charles in front of him.
And compared to the chief and second two, although Charles is slightly weaker than them in the realm of Qi Neng...... However, among the people at the peak of the academy, Charles was the only one who was quite accomplished in alchemy.
A high-level eighth-order alchemist, this is almost the pinnacle of contemporary alchemists.
After all, for most people, if they were easily distracted from studying alchemy, it would inevitably affect their own Qi Energy Realm Ascension.
Therefore, most of the powerhouses who are expected to impact the quasi-saint realm will not actually use their minds on alchemy at will.
Therefore the college three seats Charles...... In fact, it is also the pinnacle of federal alchemy!
......
"The academy itself...... Also working on this project?"
In fact, as early as when Su Mu mentioned the alchemy laboratory, Charles was already quite curious about it...... I was curious about what the little guy Su Mu had come up with.
It's just that it stems from the self-esteem of an alchemist, and Charles didn't take the initiative to ask about it.
And at this moment, as Deng Shunla, under Su Mu's hint, took the initiative to mention the so-called alchemy laboratory, in fact, there was also the participation of the academy.
Under this situation, of course, Charles couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore, and finally called out Su Mu, who was about to leave, and asked along the trap that Su Mu had prepared for him:
"In terms of alchemy, I think the old man still has some right to speak, what is going on with your so-called alchemy laboratory, can you let the old man hear it?"
As Charles took the initiative to speak, Su Mu, who had been waiting for him to take the bait, naturally stopped leaving neatly, and still respectfully explained to Charles:
"Your Excellency Charles, the so-called Alchemy Laboratory is an institution that I proposed with my mentor. Later, as I said earlier, when the alchemy business was too smooth, we lost the spirit of forging ahead. So after that, we can only turn to the academy for help, hoping to see if we can get new tips in cooperation with the academy. ”
"Unfortunately, we have recruited a large number of participants for the project, but we have not made much progress in specific research directions. In the section on alchemy, we are undoubtedly much worse than the Papal States, and we can't imagine why their alchemy system is so developed. ”
Su Mu's words obviously have some exaggerated elements.
Although it is true that the alchemy development of the Federation is weaker than that of the Papal States in many aspects, it has not reached the point where it is beyond the reach of the dust after all.
And the reason why Su Mu said this was obviously to arouse Charles's resentment.
Sure enough, stimulated by Su Mu's words, Charles, who was the master of the Federation's alchemy, immediately became a little unconvinced, and almost subconsciously rebuked with great dissatisfaction:
"Ignorant child, do you know how long it took the Papal States to study the Qi Power Feather Ship, and it only took a few years for the Federation to successfully reproduce the Feather Ship in order to catch up with the Papal States?"
"And more importantly, although the Papal States are blessed with alchemy armor, on the opposite side of the development of alchemy turbines and alchemy puppets, they are the Empire and the Federation are the best in the world. ”
"You say the Federation's alchemy doesn't work...... Actually, it's because your own alchemy can't do it!"
......
Charles's rebuke is not a problem.
After all, Su Mu's involvement in alchemy can indeed only scare students like Freeman, and in front of an alchemy master like Charles, there is no capital to argue at all.
However, at this moment, with Charles's rebuke, Su Mu did not show the slightest irritation, but still respectfully and directly admitted the weakness of his alchemy.
Even at the same time, Su Mu was even more gloomy in retreating:
"Your Excellency's accusation, I don't understand, is indeed the result of the vulgarity of our own alchemy. It doesn't even need to be stated by Your Excellency, and we ourselves are well aware of this fact. ”
"In fact, there is no conflict between what you call the Federation's achievements in alchemy and what I call the embarrassment of the alchemy laboratory. In your eyes, I am afraid that even I can hardly be regarded as having begun alchemy. And now the students who are studying in the academy are not even as good as their own achievements. ”
"No matter how beautiful the Federation's top alchemy is, if this entire generation of students after that can't reach it, then the power in your mouth ...... How long will it last?"
Su Mu's rhetorical question obviously made Charles slightly suffocated.
Regarding Charles's accusation of Su Mu's alchemy, Su Mu accepted it calmly without any struggle, and the question that Su Mu asked later was undoubtedly difficult for Charles to answer.
No matter how advanced the alchemy of the Federation is, if no one can inherit these techniques, everything seems to be in vain.
As a pure academic researcher, Charles obviously didn't think about this kind of problem at all, and at this time, in Su Mu's slightly gloomy eyes, he suddenly felt a little more ashamed of being so simple.
Some are ashamed of ...... He actually sent an absurd question to Su Mu, "Why don't you eat minced meat", and even questioned the other party's opinion on alchemy.
......
However, at this moment, as Charles has completely fallen into the thinking trap woven by Su Mu, even Charles, who is the third seat in the academy, did not think of it at all for a while...... Today's Su Mu is completely using the method of stealing and exchanging concepts, and specially shaped this desperate situation!
In fact, the predicament of the alchemy laboratory does not represent the predicament of the federal alchemy. And most of the accomplished alchemists in the Federation today do not have the bloodline of the Academy of Magic.
After all, the most talented genius mages with the most magical talents, where do they need to rely on alchemy to make a living, if it weren't for their interest, they wouldn't have come into contact with alchemy at all.
With a simple interest and comparison with other people's professions, the students of the academy naturally collapsed in an instant, which made it seem that the future of alchemy in the Federation was so bleak.
"Decay...... How can I help?"
With Su Mu spending so much effort, he finally weaved this long-planned trap, even Charles, who was the third seat of the academy, still fell into Su Mu's way after all.
Fortunately, Su Mu at this time, although he did covet Charles's alchemy, Su Mu still admired such a magical sage who devoted himself to research.
Therefore, when Charles took the initiative to speak, Su Mu did not forcibly pull the other party into his camp, but only very neatly, and had already proposed a frank plan that even Deng Shunlazy felt a little incredible:
"Your Excellency Charles, you can indeed help us to a great extent in matters of alchemy. However, I can't deceive you about the nature of the so-called alchemy laboratory. ”
"In fact, the so-called alchemy laboratory is not simply a cooperation between the Esoteric Society and the Academy, but also has the shadow of the federal government and even the Supreme House. And if you get too involved in this matter, you will inevitably be stamped with some kind of partisanship in the future, which is obviously an extremely disadvantageous situation for your pure research. ”
"So my suggestion is, if you allow it, can you open an alchemy class within the academy. This way, you can convey your alchemy ideas to alchemy experiments without getting involved in partisanship at all. ”
......
Su Mu's proposal, not only did not have any unreasonableness, but even made a special trip to explain all the risks, and then proposed the most compromise method.
Charles, who was already willing to help Su Mu, naturally accepted it when he heard the words.
However, after Charles agreed, when Su Mu finally invited the college boss out of the mountain, he was slightly presumptuous in his slightly relaxed heart.
At this time, Charles suddenly cared about another question:
"Boy, you talk about it one by one, but I remember that all the academy tutors at the round table have not accepted such a personal disciple as you. ”
"Accept a strange mentor like you...... How many seats is he in the academy?"
Obviously, Charles, who has been working in the laboratory all year round, just missed the rise of Su Mu. Not only did he not hear about the rumors about Su Mu, but he also had no time to pay attention to Lu Xi, who was still a little girl in his eyes.
At this moment, after hearing Charles's question, the rest of the round table bigwigs around looked at Charles, who was not interested in the outside of the window, with some teasing.
As for Dean Deng Shunla, who is Lu Xi's personal mentor, he is even more proud from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not my disciple Xiao Thirteen, she specially teleported to a small city thousands of miles away, and then dug up Su Mu, the little bastard!"
Although Deng Shunlath said the words "little bastard" in his mouth, the ostentatious and smug look on his face was simply not hidden in front of everyone.
The two youngest and most energetic genius mages in the academy were Deng Shunla's personal disciple, while the other was his personal disciple.
Even if Deng is the dean, how can he not feel proud from the bottom of his heart!
