The Institute of Magic, as the name suggests, is where everything related to magic is studied, such as the widely used magic pattern, which is a special form of representation created from a deep understanding of the laws of the use of magic.

There are also scarce space products, the processing of magic stones, the design and transformation of magic weapons, etc., and so on, supporting these practical magic techniques is the powerful magic research strength behind them, which is naturally indispensable A group of people who have a deep understanding of magic, although they may lack the talent to cast magic, but their interpretation of magic is definitely not inferior or even higher than those high-level mages, so they generally choose to work in the magic research institute or other private research institutes.

Somler is the deputy head of the Wood Spirit Department of the Elemental Academy in Amya City and the manager of the Sage's Corner (actually the Magic Library), but he has a lot of official rank in the Magic Research Department, and is the vice president of the Magic Research Institute, in charge of most of the research projects.

How could Hua Ye have thought so much, his mouth hadn't been closed since he followed this female mage in, and compared to this place, the headquarters of the Gun League here was like a latrine.

I don't know if it's a hall or an outer foyer, a wide and huge corridor is presented in front of me, the main color is cold blue, and there are columns neatly standing on both sides, these columns are staggered with a very symmetrical and comfortable-looking arc to support the high dome, and the columns will automatically shine a shimmer on them according to the pedestrians in the corridor, this light is warm on the body and seems to be able to restore physical strength, very comfortable.

I don't know what material the blue ground is made of, smooth and new, reflecting the ceiling carved with magic patterns and decorative patterns, and it is extremely quiet to step on, as if blessed with silence spells and dust removal spells.

Xinqiu was also the first time to see such a simple but luxurious decoration, and she was also excited, stepping on the floor and hugging the pillar to keep warm, and the entire large corridor was the echo of Xinqiu's shouting. Hua Ye had to say a few words to her before she obediently went back to the side and stood up.

"When we arrive, the vice president is inside, you can just go in." As soon as she finished speaking, the female mage turned into a cloud of green smoke and dissipated into the air.

"Wow, my sister is so amazing!"

"Okay, wait until you go in, you sit down obediently for me, don't mess with other people's things, in case you break something, I can't afford to pay for it, so I can only bet you on this to pay off the debt."

"Cut, Xiaoqiu is not as ignorant as you think!"

Hua Ye shook his head, staring at the arched dark cyan stone door in front of him, the stone door was carved with a pattern like a snowflake, and if you looked closely, you would find that each corner of the snowflake had a different micro-carving, Hua Ye couldn't understand it, so Xinqiu couldn't help but ask: "What is Brother Ye looking at so seriously?" ”

"I'm going to see when you'll find out to open the door for me."

Xinqiu realized that Hua Ye was still carrying a person behind his back, stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly stepped forward to push the door, but the arch was divided into six petals from the center and rotated towards the wall.

"Come in, young man." A deep, but magnetic voice of an older man came from within.

Hua Ye was a little uncomfortable listening to this voice, swallowed his saliva and entered the door.

"There's a bed over there, you let Wood lie down first, please wait another five minutes." Hua Ye saw that the person who spoke was wearing a silk dark green and gold-rimmed robe, and the pattern on the back of the robe was exactly the same as the relief on the door, and at this time, the white-haired vice president was busy with something at a large round table.

Hua Ye put Wood on the red cot and lay down and sat quietly on the side, only then did he begin to quietly look at the room, well, it can only be described in one word, empty.

Except for the large round table, and the two chairs and a bed he had here, it was empty, if the glowing stones around him were anything if they were anything else.

I feel that this old man is not very anxious about Wood's situation, which means that Wood should be fine, Hua Ye himself is thinking about it, and Xinqiu is also obediently meditating and practicing Qi.

"Alright, I'll keep you waiting." The vice president patted the "ash" on his hand and said that he had finished the work at hand, and Hua Ye, who was napping, and Xinqiu, who was practicing qi, also opened their eyes and stood up.

"Vice President Sommler, what do you think of this Wood?" Hua Ye asked cautiously, after all, he hadn't dealt with such high-level figures.

"Hehe, it's okay young man, Wood is a living and his life is very hard, you don't have to be so nervous, relax," the deputy dean walked to the side of a few people, glanced at Wood casually and suddenly moved his gaze to Xinqiu, looking at Xinqiu's heart, "Haha, this little girl is a little interesting, you are all amazing characters, and Wood is not in your team in vain." ”

Hua Ye and Xin Qiu were confused now, they didn't know what he was talking about, and just as they were about to reply, the vice dean immediately said: "I almost know about Wood's situation, I already probed his magic before you carried him into the research institute, and it is much stronger than when he graduated." ”

"Then why is Brother Wood unconscious?" Xinqiu still asked worriedly.

"His body should have absorbed a large amount of homogeneous magic in a short period of time, and coma is a kind of self-protection, so that he can quickly absorb and naturalize these exogenous magic powers." With a wave of the vice dean's right hand, a sofa chair and a coffee table with snacks gradually changed from a virtual shadow to a physical appearance in front of several people, "If you want to drink something, you're welcome, and then I hope that a few people can tell me what you encountered in the Emia Forest." ”

Xin Qiu was drinking ordinary water like the vice dean, but Hua Ye asked for coffee unceremoniously, and then began to tell the vice dean what they had seen and heard in the forest, of course, he did not divulge anything related to the remains of the ancient beast god.

After listening to this, the vice president lowered his eyes and looked at the delicate blue enamel cup in front of him, and then asked, "You mean that the sapling grows on top of the box?" Can you lend me the box to see? ”

Hua Ye sighed, looked back at Wood, who had a steady breath, took out the box from the inner pocket of his windbreaker, rubbed his thumb on it, and handed it to the vice dean.

"Blackleaf ghost trees." The deputy dean recognized the raw materials of this wooden box at a glance, "This box seems to have been processed recently, there are almost no traces of utility on it, and there is still a magic surplus similar to Wood's magical properties on it." Well, and the Mars family also put a family lock on it, which will explode if you open it with brute force. Speaking of this, Hua Ye's eyelids jumped, fortunately he didn't try to die, otherwise he might be gone.

After a little research, the vice dean returned the box to Hua Ye, "I'm sorry, I can't provide more information." ”

"It's okay, we just have to deliver the box." Hua Ye put the box away, "By the way, why do you want to use the Black Leaf Ghost Tree to make this box?" Is there anything special about it? ”

"Since you asked, then you must also know something about the Black Leaf Ghost Tree." Seeing Hua Ye nodded, the vice dean continued, "Do you know why most people only use the leaves of the Black Leaf Ghost Tree as materials instead of branches? ”

"I don't know, isn't it only the leaves that can extract the discoloration ingredients?"

"You're right, but that's the function of leaves, and in recent decades, a lot of research has been done on it in order to increase the cultivation of the Black Leaf Ghost Tree, and some people have found that the Ghost Tree has a special effect on various forms of energy."

"What effect?"

"Black leaves can be changed for the color of the real thing, and ghost trees can be changed for invisible power. Therefore, most of the processing only needs leaves. ”

"Then you're saying that ghost wood can change elemental properties?" Hua Ye was extremely surprised, the inability to directly change the elemental attributes was the consensus of all kinds of people on the entire continent, and this kind of news that subverted the three views was a bombshell to him.

"No, no, no," the vice dean hurriedly waved his hand, "Ghost wood can indeed change elemental properties under certain conditions, but it only changes on the surface, and those elements that are acted upon are still essentially themselves. ”

"I see, it's like the transfiguration of the elemental realm."

"Haha, that's a fitting description. Okay, Wood is awake, I'll go check it out. ”

At this time, Wood, like a person who lies in bed in the morning, only feels that his eyelids are heavy and cannot be opened at all, but he is still struggling to open his eyes.

"I... Where am I? ”
