When Downey returned to school, it was still a long time before the evening class, so he staggered into his dorm room, intending to quietly reflect on the question he had just asked.

"Why did you just come back?" Sammy was sitting on the bed with a fried chicken in his arms, looking at the home TV embedded in the wall, chuckling at the funny shows on it from time to time, and his spirits were rarely in good spirits, while the ghost behind him lay lazily on him, unwilling to move.

Donnie replied casually, "Didn't I tell you? I'm going to Triumph Square to get the 'Necklace of Consciousness'." ”

Sammy scratched his messy hair and said indifferently, "The sun is too strong at noon, and I am in a state of desperate desire to sleep, how can I remember what you said......"

Speaking of this, the handsome young man turned his head and looked at Donnie and said, "Wait, you said 'Sober Necklace'? Have you saved enough money to buy a 'Sober Necklace'?"

That's when he noticed the point.

Donnie smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can we save enough? our apprentices and apprentice arcanists are only a little subsidy, and the junior magic school doesn't have as many scholarships as the academy, and I met a kind bookstore owner this time......"

He told me a rough story.

Sammy bowed slightly, having no doubts about what happened to Donnie, and he rarely thought deeply about anything other than arcane and magic, whether it was due to his limited energy or his own personality.

After listening to Donnie's words, Sammy turned his head and continued to watch TV, at which point the funny show had ended and entered the commercial. A beautiful girl is showing off her simple and beautiful dress - due to the increase of alchemy workshops, changes in the living environment and social structure, represented by the alchemy center of Rentat, the trend of clothing has changed greatly, towards two trends, one is more concise, more convenient for daily movement of clothing, the other is more complex and bizarre banquet dress.

And Donnie is not surprised by Sammy's state, sometimes standing up, sometimes sitting. From time to time, he lay down and thought about choosing a magic academy.

It's been a long time. Donnie couldn't make up his mind, so he coughed lightly, "Sammy, there's something I want to ask you." ”

Sammy turned his head again, his expression already a little tired: "What's the matter?"

"I'm thinking about choosing a magic academy. Donnie whispered.

Sammy frowned suspiciously, "Didn't you already think about going to Holt, not to study the most wonderful and profound microscopic realm?"

"I ...... I don't want to. In the micro field. Almost half of the formulas and equations are prefixed with Evans or Lucian. And it's all very complicated, and as soon as I see them, I can't help but resist and hate them......" Donnie candidly elaborated on his thoughts. Finally, he said, "I want to study a relatively simple field that doesn't have so many formulas and equations, and I, I don't want to keep having a nightmare called 'Lucien Evans.'...... Do you have any suggestions?"

Sammy tilted his head, took a bite of fried chicken, and did not express any opinion on Donnie's idea of escaping, and said directly: "The current microscopic realm contains elements, electromagnetism, alchemy, light and darkness, and some force fields, and it is the 'main battlefield' of Lord Evans, and it is the system he established single-handedly, if you don't want to study it, you can only go to the macroscopic astrological ......."

At the mention of the word "astrology," he shifted his gaze to the bookshelf in the corner of his bedroom, where there were books borrowed from the library that had not yet been returned, and the textbooks they had accumulated over the past five years.

"Outline of Special and General Relativity", "Evans's Analysis of the Destiny Sky", "The Relationship between Divination and Evans's Essential Model", "Lucian's Astrology", ...... The name of the book jumped into Sammy's eyes and made him snort: "...... The astrological system is also the 'territory' of Lord Evans, and although the 'situation' is not as serious as the microscopic realm, I have heard that the Evans field equation alone makes many astrologers go crazy with headaches. ”

"Yes, the Ice and Snow Heat faction is about ......" Donnie rubbed his forehead in annoyance, "At present, the only ones who are less affected by Lord Evans are necromancy, illusion, transformation, and summoning, and I don't like summoning very much, so it seems that I can only choose from the three major factions of necromancy, illusion, and transformation." ”

Sammy's eyes lit up, and he stopped the fried chicken that was sent to his mouth: "Aren't you quite good at psychoanalysis in the field of illusion? ”

"Psychoanalytic ......" Donnie's expression was first happy, and then he looked at the bookshelf as if he remembered something.

The Interpretation of Dreams by Lannister Stennis and Lucien Evans......

Behavioral Psychology by Lucian Evans, Erica Lavigne, and Isabella......

Sixteen Ways to Respond to Personality Defects, Psychological Shadows, and Real Illusions, by Lucien Evans......

The Application of Lucian's Personality Analysis to Illusion......

......

Donnie retracted his gaze suddenly, slapped the bed heavily with his right hand, and lowered his head in frustration: "No, although there are not so many formulas and equations, it is still full of 'Lucian' and 'Evans', and many definitions in this field have been completed by Lord Evans......"

Why do you have rich traces of Him in almost every area?

Although this is much better than the micro and macro fields, Lucian's results are only a small part of the more basic things, but for Donnie, who subconsciously wants to escape, it is still shocking to see and can't bear to look at it directly.

The ghost behind Sammy began to become active, constantly ingesting the trinkets around him to play with, and Sammy became wilted and said weakly: "Then only necromancy and metamorphosis remain, these two factions have almost no achievements from Lord Evans, except for the detailed theory of the essence of the soul, the basic theory of metamorphosis, and the experiment on the origin of life that is more inclined to the elemental system." ”

"And no matter which field of the two major factions of necromancy and transfiguration, you need to have a detailed understanding of the body structure of different creatures, so, apply for the Heideler Academy, where the anatomy and magical biological structure are the strongest in the entire council, and occasionally Mr. Felipe and other gentlemen will come to give lectures or guidance in person, and. We can continue to be classmates again. ”

His spirit has become very poor, but when he said this, his eyes were faintly burning, because of the relationship between the spirit behind him, he was feared and hated since he was a child, and the original dormitory of four people was so frightened that only Donnie, a guy with nerves who didn't know whether it was tough or dull, all he cherished this rare friend.

"Necromancy...... Deformation...... Dissect...... Biological structure ......" Donnie repeated these words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Although we have a general understanding of magic and the truth of the world, we don't really know much about it. Even their own body structure and genetic factors have not yet been figured out. There are no breakthroughs in the study of chromosomes, which is a field full of hope and passion!"

He became a little agitated.

Sammy smiled sleepily: "Then apply for Heideler College, there are dozens of pioneers and authorities in the field of anatomy and genetics such as Mr. Felipe to pay attention to and occasionally guide." ”

He paused and said, "Moreover, since Mr. Felipe won the Evans Arcane Award and the Immortal Throne Award for the discovery of chromosomes more than ten years ago. There have been no breakthroughs in this area. It's just that relying on the previous accumulation, Your Excellency and Mr. won the Evans Magic Award and the Medical Award respectively. So the popularity is decreasing year by year, there are no longer so many people applying for the exam, and the competition is relatively less fierce. ”

Donnie nodded as he listened. I became more and more excited and excited, as if I had found the path I wanted to fight for all my life.

He stood up, pacing back and forth, occasionally clenching his fists and waving slightly, his expression sometimes joyful, sometimes yearning, sometimes hideous, sometimes distorted, and after a long while, he took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly but firmly: "Sammy, I have decided to apply for the Heidler Academy, to apply for the field of necromantic body structure and genetic factors!"

After saying this, he felt that he had no more hesitation and hesitation, and the gloom dissipated before his eyes, and his eyes turned to Sammy, only to find him holding the fried chicken, leaning diagonally against the head of the bed, his eyes closed, already asleep, and the ghost behind him danced his arms, as if rejoicing in Donnie's decision.

............

A week later, the teacher Slinton sent out a form with the amount of magic contract power, and looked at the students seriously: "Please carefully fill in the college and the general field you want to apply for, so that you can be arranged for the content of the additional test, pay attention, you must think clearly before filling in! If you write a wrong word, you can ask for a new one, but after you really fill it out, the contract will be established, and there will be no chance of repentance, unless you voluntarily downgrade and wait until next year to take the unified entrance exam." ”

Donnie, who had already figured it out, took the form calmly, and subconsciously looked at the classmates around him, only to see the beautiful elf with two pointed ears, the tall and thick werewolf, the lizardman with scales everywhere on the body, and other normal humans all fell into deep thought, struggling slightly, and seemed to have not made up their minds at the end.

He smiled, picked up a special quill, dipped it in magic ink, and calmly wrote down the college and direction he applied for.

Slinton saw that Donnie, a good apprentice, had worked hard to write and quickly filled out the form, and his heart was suddenly curious, and he walked up to him to pick up the form and read it.

"Heidler College, Necromancy, Body Structure and Genetic Factors Field......" Slinton touched his white beard and said with a little confusion, "Donnie, do you know what to do? Didn't you prefer the microscopic realm before? Why did you suddenly switch to the necromancy?"

"What do you know," Donnie shook his head blankly......

Slingerton laughed: "In the past six months, there is a manuscript in Alinge that has set off a wide and heated discussion, which has made many arcane experts in the microscopic field have a very strong interest in the genetic field of the necromantic system and change the direction of their own research, I thought that this trend would spread to magic schools and ordinary people for at least a year." ”

With the development of society and the increase of radio, television, and newspapers, entertainment-oriented programs and content have completely taken over, and there are gradually fewer things to popularize arcane knowledge and current research trends, and even if there are, they are also exploration and adventure types, for most ordinary people, after the initial freshness period, those advanced arcane knowledge do not need to be understood at all, and then they will be transformed into corresponding alchemy products.

And the nobles and some magicians are very satisfied with this situation, and even secretly contribute to the trouble, after all, it is naturally a good thing to be able to reduce competitors, especially when interstellar travel is limited to legends for the time being.

"Mr. Slinton, what manuscript?" Donnie was still in a state of confusion.

Slinton touched his white beard and smiled: "A manuscript that analyzes the body and heredity from the perspective of the authority of the microscopic realm, it abandons many research ideas of the necromancy, directly treats the body and heredity as an arcane system, and then uses various theories in the microscopic realm to analyze, and puts forward many bold and genius conjectures, such as the quantum theory of heredity, the code of heredity, etc., which arouses the high interest and in-depth thinking of the arcanists in the microscopic structure of the body." ”

Authority, authority in the micro field...... Donnie suddenly felt that the magic crystal lamp had become dim, and a huge shadow had risen from behind, and he asked worriedly, "Teacher, what is the name of this manuscript?"

"This manuscript is called What is Life. Slinton smiled, "The author, of course, Lord Evans." ”

Boom, Donnie's head buzzed, like he had been hit by a giant hammer.

For what, for what, even here has his "claws"?(To be continued......
