The storm was raging, and the ferry was still bumpy, but Xiao Chen was no longer so embarrassed, he was sitting cross-legged on the deck, his back against the bulkhead, and within a radius of more than a meter around, not a drop of water could enter, and every trace of wind and every drop of rain chose to avoid in front of him. He has become stronger, and has taken the first step to control this world of consciousness, but he is still weak, and can only use the power of the scroll to exert the power of magic.

When will it be able to have its own power?

Xiao Chen stared at the lightning in the sky, the power of the lightning was powerful and majestic, shocking.

He had never wanted to grasp a power so much.

If in the outside world, if he had such power in his hands on that burning night, goblins and other miscellaneous things would be fine, right?

Xiao Chen probed his consciousness into the sky.

It's slow, it's hard.

Yet he insisted, point by point, inch by inch, slowly extended......

——————————————————————

I don't know how long later, he felt someone pat on the shoulder and woke up.

The wind and rain are gone, it is a crisp autumn afternoon, the sun shines on the body is a little hot, but the wind on the roof of the building blows, it is also a little cool. Xiao Chen saw a plain hand being taken away from his shoulder from the afterglow.

Xiao Chen turned around, it was Luo Ling and a man.

"You're pretty lazy and found such a nice spot on the roof. Luo Ling threw an apple over, and Xiao Chen caught it.

"The pollution-free, all-natural fruits produced in the village of Samellia are very good except for being small and not sweet. ”

Luo Ling took out another apple and took a bite herself, she smiled very brightly, just like this sun, it makes people a little warm, but after a long time, it will make people's faces hot and sweaty.

Xiao Chen wiped the apple with the corner of his clothes, bit off half of it in one bite, and said helplessly: "The expedition team has stopped, let me take a breath for the rest of my life." ”

He glanced at the man with his hands behind his back and said, "Who is this?"

"Qin Mu, like Teacher Luo, is also a teacher at school. The second expedition was led by the two of us. Qin Mu habitually stretched out his hand, but seeing that Xiao Chen was the same as Luo Ling, his right hand was full of slimy apple juice, and he retracted his hand again. He said in a concerned tone: "Student Xiao, we have all heard about what happened this time. It's too much pressure to put on your students. ”

Luo Ling winked at Xiao Chen and said, "Classmate Xiao, Teacher Qin heard about you, I must come to comfort you." ”

Xiao Chen's mouth was full of apples, and he said vaguely: "Then thank you Teacher Qin for your concern." No one would have expected such a thing in the wild. ”

"It seems that you are recovering well and in good spirits, young people just have to have an indomitable fighting spirit, but you can't be hit and back down. Qin Mu patted Xiao Chen's shoulder heavily.

Xiao Luoling was secretly smiling, Xiao Chen secretly glanced at her, and said to Qin Mu, who was "sincere": "Yes, I can't be alone like Teacher Qin, I still have to follow our team leader Luo next time." Team leader, what do you say?"

"Ahh "Luo Ling deserves to be fast.

"Ahem. Qin Mu coughed a few times and asked, "I heard that those goblins are not very tall, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, but there are a lot of them?"

"Indeed, with a figure like Teacher Qin, one can deal with ten. Xiao Chen said seriously.

"Xiao classmate, don't bury me, I'm in danger, I'd rather lower my posture and be careless in Jingzhou, in the future, we can make a plan to stay in danger, don't you say?"

"Fortunately, we met the goblins once, so that Mr. Qin has a chance to make a plan. Next time, maybe it will save my life. ”

"Huh. Qin Mu touched his nose and said to Luo Ling, "Your good student is not ordinary. He waved his hand to Xiao Chen again, "Keep up the good work, I still have a meeting, I have to go first!"

"Is this person tired?" As soon as Qin Mu left, Xiao Chen complained.

"Teacher Qin took the initiative to visit you, and it has nothing to do with me. Luo Ling smiled and said, "However, he seems to be able to arouse your fighting spirit." ”

"He writes everything on his face, not ...... you"

"Okay, let's not talk about him. I am here to remind you that the report has already been submitted to the Committee on your behalf. But you'll definitely have to be questioned by them. After all, Lin Lao's death is not something that can be taken casually. I've heard some not-so-good news, and Zhao Rui seems to be putting the blame on Zhang Sicheng and you. And Zhang Sicheng seems to have recognized it. ”

"Let's stop it. Xiao Chen sighed and said.

"Good place, really good place!" Morey changed into Xiao Chen's shirt and trousers and walked on the road to campus. He holds a folding fan in one hand, a plastic electronic watch on his wrist, a magazine in the other, and a pair of toad glasses on his face. These were all the gold coins he had hidden in his clothes and the passers-by, which had almost all his savings, but he was more and more interested.

Li Jia was also looking at Morey, this young man who skillfully spoke Chinese was twenty-four or five years old, with an angular face and short dark red hair, which was very handsome. The shirt and sunglasses make him look like an international student walking on campus.

Her hair is also this color, Li Jia couldn't help but think. And he has accompanied her through these roads. The same curious eyes, the same questions. Yet he was so happy at the time, and now he feels tired, hesitant and bored. Until now, Li Jia has not been sure whether she has betrayed herself, or sent herself to the position of a traitor.

"Yo, what kind of building is this, so beautiful and magnificent, but it's burned down?" asked Morey, pointing from afar, shaking his fan, pointing to the library. This question temporarily pulled Li Jia's soul back.

"That's the library. It caught fire the other day. Li Jia didn't want to talk about it more, so she replied simply.

"Isn't there a fire circle in the library?" Morey wondered, "Is the loss great?"

"Fortunately, more than 2,000 books were burned. Li Jia replied in a flat voice.

"More than 2,000 copies, O god of nature, what a loss. Those who caused the fire must be severely punished! If such an incident happened to the Kingdom Library, the director of the library would definitely be beheaded by the king! If I had made a fire in the teacher's library, he would have turned me into a golem. Morey said these words indignantly, which made Li Jia a little confused.

"What are you?"

From the first day I knew how to read, my teacher said, 'You and I will be destroyed, but knowledge will last forever.' 'He who does not respect the book does not deserve any respect.' 'Every book is an angel born with difficulty.' 'Don't you have a similar statement?'

"Ah, ah, like...... It makes sense, but the fact that the fire started from the bookshelves of 'News Magazine' and 'Success Studies' is a blessing in misfortune. ”

"News magazines, success studies, what is that?"

"Well, you can understand it as waste paper. ”

"So what?" asked Morey, pointing again with a folding fan to a newly constructed construction site in the distance.

Li Jia hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "That is a small blast furnace that is being built, and they are going to try to make iron." ”

"It was possible to use such a furnace to make iron, the dwarves used furnaces and hammers to forge it, and the alchemists used formations to analyze iron, but I didn't expect that there would be a way to use this kind of blast furnace. ”

He took off his sunglasses, looked at them closely, and asked, "Can you tell me more about what's going on?" or let me go over and have a look?"

"I'm sorry, I can only take you around the public area for Xiao Chen, and there are some places where even I can't go in. Besides, this stove is still too early to be built. Li Jia shook his head and said, and after a while he said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just to burn iron ore, coal, limestone or something together." ”

Morey pressed his fan against his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Li Jia, please tell Xiao Chen, I want to stay, I am willing to use my alchemy to exchange this knowledge and technology with you." Even as an alchemist, at your service!"

Li Jia looked at him with some surprise, could it be that this person realized the value of our technology so quickly?

To be honest, he didn't quite understand why Xiao Chen brought this person back, and took a lot of effort to get the committee to agree to keep this person on campus, and solemnly asked himself to entertain him well. In Li Jia's view, the backward appearance of this world shows that the local people have no technology worth caring about. As for alchemy, isn't it a hoax and superstition on earth?

He was deliberating how to tactfully refuse the request, when he saw Morey pull a small bottle out of his bosom.

Morey pulled Li Jia to a stone table by the lawn, opened the bottle in his puzzled gaze, stretched out a silver wire from his fingertips, dipped it in the red liquid in the bottle, and drew on the stone table with a line as a pen.

The red line twists and turns, slowly forming characters and lines. Li Jia was surprised to find that these characters are very similar to the Chinese small seals, but the characters have a lot of variations and distortions in shape, and they are not square, and these characters are also combined with various dots and lines to form new patterns.

Morey would often overlap one word on top of another, and the words would cross and cover each other, and soon became illegible.

Li Jia couldn't recognize a few small seals, but he barely recognized the word "refining" and the word "fen", and the other dozens of words were completely unknown. He just felt that when Morey's words were connected, there was a strong sense of harmony, like a whole. When Morey wrote for more than ten minutes and finally stopped writing, the faint red light emitted by the entire array was like a neon light embedded in the stone table.

"Look, this is the alchemy I have learned, inherited from the Moncayo school, the top level in the continent. "I know you're from a completely different place than here, and it must be useful to you." ”

With that, he took out a gold coin from his pocket, put it in the middle of the magic array, and then gently recited a spell, and the gold coin was immediately surrounded by a stream of red smoke rising from the magic array, and after nearly a minute, the smoke dissipated, and two square pieces of metal appeared on the magic array, the large one was golden, and the small one was gray-black.

"It's ...... Refining metal?" Li Jia stared at the piece of gold that glittered in the sun, and couldn't even speak.

"That's right, this is the core of alchemy, but it is also the most useless formation, the alchemy array. This is real pure gold, and the small ones are the impurities in the gold coins. I also have the formation of iron, copper, and a lot of metals, and even the formation of synthetic metals. ”

"It's amazing, this, how can this be useless?" Li Jia wondered.

Morey shook the small red bottle and said, "The price of the materials for making the alchemy circle is much more expensive than that piece of gold, but it's still an unheard of technology for you, isn't it?"
