It's another Friday, and after breakfast in their rooms, the arcanists rush to the hall one after another. According to His Excellency Lavendi, the results of the experiment would come from today or tomorrow, which made the arcanists who had been curious for a whole week not be interested.

Although in the past seven days, in addition to sleeping and meditating, they have been observing the experimental device through their naked eyes, mental power, and magical imprints, but the pure water that simulates the primordial ocean evaporates every day, and the ordinary gas mixture is crackled by lightning, and the ordinary condenses into water droplets back to the glass bottle, and there is not the slightest sign of mystery and weirdness, as if it is a natural scene that is normal enough to be ignored by everyone.

"What the hell will it turn out to be? Honestly, I've been curious for a long time and can't wait for the reveal. "A necromancer with a pale hand, after reconstructing his meditation environment with initial results, was very relaxed and uplifted to discuss with his companions the experiment that had plagued everyone for seven days.

A female necromancer with two thin golden eyebrows furrowed her lips: "Jason, in fact, I don't believe that such a simple experiment can produce any strange and important substances, it's just that the high temperature evaporation and lightning and thunder are too rudimentary, and the natural environment is a thousand or ten thousand times more complicated than this, and the factors and ingredients that need to be considered are so complex that they can explode your head!

"Lily, I think so too. Hehe, after looking at this experimental device from time to time in the past few days, I always feel that there is an electric light shining in my eyes. It seemed to occupy my entire brain, and even in the face of the setting sun, the lightning that appeared in front of my eyes was crackling. Jason humorously said to Lily. But this statement is not an exaggeration, and many arcanists have been exposed to the discharge experimental device for so long that they have left a deep impression in their pupils and brains.

Lily rubbed her eyes, "It's just a temporary effect, it will appear when I stare at other things." โ€

The two were chatting happily. Suddenly, I saw a familiar magician friend walking over, he had gray hair and deep wrinkles. Soft blue eyes, serene and peaceful.

"Jason, Lily, good morning. The old mage greeted him kindly.

Jason smiled, "Good morning, Fern, what's the matter?" Lily followed with her jaw.

Old Mage Fern said with a sincere expression on his face, "Dear Lady Lily, can you switch seats with me?" I'd like to talk to Jason about the theory of human vitality. โ€

"What's the matter???," Lily was puzzled, reluctant to go among a group of magicians who were good at the elements.

Old Mage Fern said with a serious face: "Actually, I don't think so, do you deny the existence of life force and soul?"

"Of course, this is the foundation of the whole necromantic magic, and to deny them is to completely deny the value of necromantic magic and our own existence. Jason replied without hesitation. "At present, what has been overturned is only the doctrine of the vitality of the 'human body', which does not involve the soul and other living forms, so that the direction in which we have been refining the human body with living people and corpses for many years has been corrected, and the other theories of the necromantic system about the soul have not wavered in the slightest. โ€

In the past general view of the necromantic system, humans, elves, and dragons with physical bodies were superior to other elemental creatures and alchemical life, because they only showed the vitality side of the soul and lacked the cooperation of physical vitality, so if you want the human body to be trained, you can't use non-living matter until it is overthrown by Lucien and Felipe two experiments in succession.

Old Mage Fern shook his head: "At present, what is synthesized is only the ordinary composition of the human body, and there is still a long way to go from the life cornerstone that contains the mysteries of the body, so it is far from being considered that the theory of human vitality has been overthrown, and perhaps the key to unlocking all the secrets is hidden in the composition of the human body." You see, the structure of the human body is so wonderful, and they are full of mysterious, shocking and unfathomable flavor in the composition of the details. Do you think that you have solved all the mysteries of the human body? If so, then you can have eternal life without a life box, without a horcrux, without separating the soul, without changing the body!"

"Oh, the mystery is above, Fern, your insistence and opinion on the doctrine of human life force surpasses mine, and is comparable to the stubbornness of those old fellows. Lily rubbed her forehead in confusion, "I believe that there are countless mysteries in the human body, but I also believe in Felipe's experiments, I want to be quiet, you can talk to Jason." โ€

Mysteries are a common form of expression of amazement or politeness by magicians.

Lily stood up and walked towards the camp of the elemental mages opposite, sat there quietly, and thought for a long time before she came to her conclusion: "First affirm that the old theory of human vitality is wrong, but the mystery of the human body exists objectively and needs to be explored, and in the process of exploration, it is not surprising that there are any conclusions." It is necessary to have an open attitude towards this, which is the most correct attitude in the face of a new doctrine of magic!"

Old Mage Fern walked to Lily's place and sat down, looking at Felipe three rows in front of him, his eyes were cold, and he was discussing the theory of human life force with Jason.

Today or tomorrow is the last day, and he can only sacrifice himself for the glory of the Lord, but Lily, who is in the best position among the necromancers he knows, is also a considerable distance from Felipe, and cannot reach the level of killing Nikolai with one blow, so he needs to risk passing through the narrow gap between the seats in the non-aisle position and take five or six steps forward.

"May the gates of the Heavenly Mountain be open to me. Old Mage Fern silently drew the cross in his mind.

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

It didn't take long for Felipe, Lucien, and other arcanists to arrive, and it was Larry who took the stage to explain and demonstrate the magic experiment.

Larry's chubby round face had a faint excitement, and his voice was slightly high: "During this time, when discussing the questions raised by Evans, we found that the concentration of the solution has a wonderful relationship with the conductivity. And I thought, what if it's not a solution, if it's pure water that doesn't contain any other dissolved substances, what would it be like to conduct electricity?"

Because it's common sense that water conducts electricity, the Arcanists don't think in this direction. Even though they could easily make pure water with oxygen and hydrogen, at this time, from Larry's tone, they sensed that the result might not be what others imagined.

After Larry finished speaking. Pure water began to be made to verify its conductivity, and when electric sparks appeared, and the magic array that sensed electricity at the bottom of the pure water did not react, the expression of each magician became quite strange. Once again, common sense has been subverted, but fortunately it is not the main doctrine that constructs its own meditative environment.

As the bubbles popped up one by one, Larry ended the experiment and said, "You can see it. Pure water is not conductive until it is completely electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen, so we can assume that an alchemical substance has undergone a wonderful change when it is dissolved in water. As for what the changes are, I haven't reached a conclusion yet, but now I want to see the new four-ring magic 'Larry's Water Elemental Shield' that I have constructed based on this principle, which can effectively resist the water magic of the 'Lightning' attack. โ€

Larry then begins to talk about how the four-ring magic works, the mapping model, etc., though he conceals the key core model. But most of the arcanists still listened very carefully, and with the principle, they may not be able to construct similar magic.

Old Mage Fern seemed to have difficulty concentrating, occasionally noticing which attendants were being called in to offer hot water, black tea, hot towels, and other items, when he saw that there were already five or six attendants serving in different locations in the hall. Turning and raising his hand, he gestured to the nearby magic apprentice.

"Mr. Arcanist, what do you need?" the magic apprentice walked over quickly and silently, with an unusual attitude, every Arcanist here is at least mid-level!

Fern nodded kindly, "Child, give me a cup of black tea with lemon slices, I need to be stimulated." โ€

Such a request could be made by every arcanist, and Jason next to him was not confused, listening intently to Larry's talk about the water-based magic shield. Because light is electromagnetic waves, they all belong to positive energy, so lightning is also barely in this kind of magic, which is very restrained by necromantic magic, and Jason naturally will not let go of the opportunity to learn Larry's new magic.

"Alright, Mr. Arcanist, please wait a moment. The apprentice took a few steps back and headed for the gate.

At this moment Nikolai ventured forward two steps, overtaking one of the attendants, and stood right at the front.

"You, go and pour a cup of black tea for that Arcanist. "How can the magic apprentice care about the order of the attendants, naturally instructed Nikolai, who stood first, and the attendant behind him was inexplicable, did he want to please the old magician to be accepted as an apprentice? Wake up, if you have mental power and arcane talent, you will have been recruited into the magic school a long time ago, and if you can be lazy when you work, you must be lazy!

After pouring a cup of black tea in the small room in the corner of the hall next to it, Nikolai tried to calm his nervous mood: "The Lord is watching me, this is my most glorious moment, I will enter the Heavenly Mountain!"

His devout faith helped him calm down, and he walked steadily to the row of Old Mage Fern, and then walked through the horizontal row of several people to him, and respectfully put down the white-glazed porcelain teacup.

"Your Excellency the Arcanist, you have added a black tea with lemon slices. Nikolai slowly put down his teacup as if he didn't know the old mage Fern.

On the other side, a mid-level arcanist in the four rows behind Lucien also beckoned for a glass of water.

Seeing that the position was reluctant, Valente gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and did not care about exposure, and also rushed to the front and accepted the task. If the timing is right, when Nikolai kills Felipe with a copy of the Sword of Truth, he has a fleeting chance to kill Lucian Evans, after all, his magic level is only two rings, and he can't imagine that someone will do anything to him at such a time.

Nikolai, who put down the teacup and turned around slowly, looked at the back of Felipe in front of the three rows in front of him, the distance of seven or eight steps was like the road to Heavenly Mountain, so far away, so long and so yearning.

"Although it is only a replica of the Sword of Truth, it is also equivalent to a ninth-level divine artifact, and I must pay a great price to use it, and it cannot fully activate its power. At the same time, this is a sword, not a talisman that can release magic from a distance, and it can only achieve perfect results by slashing Felipe at close range. โ€

"At this distance, someone has to get his attention so I can get close to the attack before he can react. โ€

Nikolai walked slowly down the aisle. While calculating the distance, if before he stepped down the aisle, the old mage Fern had not created an event that would attract Felipe's attention. All but to take a gamble and quickly cross the gap between the positions without leaving any hope, and even if they are all together, they must clear Felipe.

Valente took the white water and placed it on the small horizontal board in front of the arcanist, and also calculated the distance to Lucien. It's just that he won't make any attacks until he kills Felipe, even if he misses the opportunity.

Just as Old Mage Fern took a deep breath, ready to draw everyone's attention to himself. Suddenly, an arcane master's voice in front of him said sharply, "Experimental device, experimental device!"

All the magicians stared at the experimental device, and even Larry, who was explaining the construction process, looked curiously at the glass bottle next to him, which simulated the natural environment.

I saw that at the bottom of the glass bottle in the lower right corner, and in a sampling port in the middle of the refluxed condensate liquid catheter, the transparent pure water showed a faint red color, and a strange substance seemed to appear!

"What substance could it be?!"

"What the hell is it?!"

One question after another was found from the arcanists, and the rows of arcanists in front of them even stood up. I want to know the results of the experiment as soon as possible.

The rising arcanists blocked Nikolai's view and interrupted his movements for a moment, but he was unusually happy that the scene had become agitated and chaotic, and he had enough time and opportunity to clear Felipe.

And Nikolai, who had witnessed this experiment from the beginning, also subconsciously looked at the experimental device at this time. It's really strange that a few simple gases, common lightning and volcanic heat, can give birth to a reddish substance, what is it?

Lavendi in the front row flew directly onto the platform, disarming the layers of magic arrays, then taking out the pale red substance, and activating the identification magic array to identify what it was.

Since Lavendi had taken out more than one copy, a total of seven experimental vessels, the arcanists below cast identification spells on them, including Felipe.

Except for magical items with certain information in themselves, the magic of identification can only identify known substances, but the arcanists have forgotten this at this time, and subconsciously think that this is the part of the substance that the Magic Council has explored, and they have perfected the identification technique based on this.

Seeing Felipe unleashing magic with his back to him through the gap between the arcanists who stood up one by one, Nikolai knew that this was an opportunity that would never appear again if he missed it, holding down the talisman that concealed his magical aura and power in one hand, and holding the replica of the Sword of Truth hidden in his long coat in the other.

Then he took a firm step, stepping into the small risk between the two positions, and walked forward without hesitation, completely ignoring the arcanists around him, and with quick action to clear Felipe before they could react!

One step, two steps, three steps, in just one second, Nikolai shortened a large distance from Felipe, and Valente on the other side also began to slowly move closer to Lucien and kept an eye on the situation here.

Four steps, five steps, "only one step away!"

Nikolai tore off the amulet with one hand, recovered his strength, and took out a copy of the "Sword of Truth" with the other, and was about to take a step forward and cut off Felipe's head.

Suddenly, at this moment, a magician shouted in a high-spirited tone like a nightmare: "There is the asparagus essentia, the essence of life separated from the asparagus!

"Oh! there are several other life essences, and although there are two that have never been separated before, they are indeed part of the life cornerstone according to the comparison of the identification techniques!" "In the other position, the tone of a fifth-level arcanist was like seeing a true god.

"And lipids, sugars, ......" Pesol and Tina Dimos muttered to themselves, and after getting the firm result, they couldn't help but stand up, although they were magicians and not cultists, they still wanted to say that it was a miracle!

A simple experimental design, a completely common and unusually ordinary lightning and volcanic environment, some of the most ordinary gases, a pure water that simulates oceans and floods, actually generated a vital life essence for humans and elves, this is not a miracle, then what is a miracle!

The expression on Felipe's gloomy face almost froze, this, is this entering the realm of the gods?!Which arcanist designed this, is it the professor?!

In an environment that purely simulates primitive nature without any divine intervention and without much magical interference, one of the most important living substances suddenly appears, and what it means, every magician with a mind understands.

Although this does not deny that the God of truth can create life, it is enough to shake the "God-given theory of life" that "only the true God can create life".

The exclamations of the arcanists could not be stopped, and Nikolai could not take a step forward, subconsciously looking up at the experimental device, the tree-shaped symbol symbolizing the essence of life on the magic circle around it exuded a clear light, it was so pure, and it was so dazzling.

"Essentia of Life?!Essentia of Winter?!How is this possible!This is a forbidden area belonging to the gods!"

Nikolai seemed to have forgotten that he was going to assassinate Felipe, and everything he had witnessed in the past few days flashed back in his mind.

Simulating the high temperature and methane gas of volcanic eruptions, simulating electric sparks of lightning and thunder, simulating the pure water of the ocean, simulating hydrogen of the main gas, etc., except for the preparation of two gases and the provision of high temperature and lightning, there is no magic intervention in between, and there is no projection of the gods, so "easily and simply" the essence of life is born.

For the first time, Nikolai hated himself for learning the knowledge of the arcane transformation in the church, and hated himself for learning about the essence of life and its significance.

"Can life be born in the natural environment, and is God's authority shared in this way?"

"All-knowing, all-powerful, one-one, how can the Lord of all not be unique, dominating a realm beyond the reach of all men and everything?"

"Isn't the Lord alone who can give life?"

"Does the Lord exist, does the Heavenly Mountain exist, and after I die, will I become a soul enslaved by the magicians or ascend to heaven?"

"Devil, the real devil!

The strong suspicion shook the foundation of Nikolai's faith in an instant, and the amount of magic power synchronized with his belief began to get out of control, and after he quickly realized it, he subconsciously prayed for repentance.

It's okay not to pray, but the amount of divine mana that is completely out of control when I pray suddenly burst out, devouring from the inside of the body, as if a light is extremely beautiful.

At the same time, Valente, who was still some distance away from Lucien, was also swallowed by the sudden light that lit up.

"What a beautiful ...... of light"

"What a dreamy fireworks ......"

The stunned arcanists watched in amazement as the two rays of light emerged and turned into bits of light.

On the other side, the old mage Fern sat on the chair as if he was dead, then closed his eyes, and with a bang, his head exploded, and a light similar to that of Nikolai and Valente flashed, but scarlet blood and white brains slowly fell like raindrops.

The arcanists who didn't know what was going on in the Dao thought that there was a necromancer who couldn't accept this experiment and completely collapsed in the world, and at the same time, they also subconsciously entered a meditation environment to try to stabilize their mental power so as not to hurt their souls.

Therefore, when they saw the "fireworks" and the scene of blood blooming, a thought suddenly came to their hearts: "Crazy!

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

These two experimental materials confirm the impact of the results of this experiment on the clergy of the church. Hathaway looked at the two aurora with silver-gray eyes and said without any emotion.

From the very beginning, they had not been able to hide from the Grand Arcanists, and even the old mage Fern had thought of a way that was a memory that the Revenant Master had woven directly into his mind.

Valenchir and Bahรก'u'llรกh had never expected such an occasion to appear as a Grand Arcanist. (To be continued.) )
