Chapter 142: Venice?
The "Tower of Madness", also known as the "Tower of the Sages", gathers many intelligent magical inventions (as the neurotics call themselves), these magicians who are called neurotics by others are keen to develop new magic, and the explosions that can often be heard from time to time come from here, even if the room for separate experiments is shrouded in soundproof and protective magic, the explosion sound is still not negligible, and the power cannot be small.

Venetian Lee, a bald old man of nearly seventy years of age, with a long unkempt beard that had been inevitably impregnated by various magical drugs into a strange color of colorful skin, his squinted eyes and the wrinkles that covered his face, which could not really be seen if he did not look closely.
The tattered pointed magic hat worn on the bald top was missing the sharp horns on the top of the head, and it was a bit inappropriate to call it a pointed hat, and the wide magic robe on his body also looked like it had been eroded by some unknown corrosive liquid with many small pitted holes, perhaps the homeless people on the street were better than him.
Don't underestimate this bad old man with very low taste in dressing, he was a well-known horn in the Academy of Magic when he was young, and his attainments in law were unmatched at that time, and he could put forward all kinds of theories and knowledge, and he was most enthusiastic about creating new magic, and he had improved a lot of useful magic for a period of time, so that the availability of magic had improved a lot.
After graduating, he turned down the position of Imperial Court Magician, and chose to become an ordinary magic researcher in Peter's School of Magic, specializing in the development of magic, yes, he is also a member of the "Source of Magic" of the magic institution, so to speak, but he does not seem to have this self-consciousness.
Because he loves to develop magic, he doesn't care about anything else, it is said that he still hasn't been out of this "Tower of Madness" for decades, staying in it wholeheartedly and specializing in magic, not asking about the world, in a way, he is a very dedicated person, but too enthusiastic.
“... Well, no, the garmandrake doesn't seem to be of much use, I don't want to listen to that scream, let's try something else, why don't you change your mind and engrave a magic engraving that can be used for stability on a magic item and throw it in, can you keep it stable?...... No, this method seems to be there, it was used a few years ago, so let's change it to something else........."
In the dark room, only the crackling sound of burning wood illuminated Venice's face, and he stroked his colorful mustache and muttered to himself as he looked at the disgusting thing boiling in the large round pot, thinking about the problem.
"Bobo"
The dark green viscous liquid in the pot burst bubbles on the surface.
Seeing this scene, Venice fell into thought? Li seemed to think of something crucial, and suddenly stopped stroking his beard and walked to a small low table filled with many strange objects next to him.
He pushed down some of the things on the low table to give himself a little space, and he seemed to be looking for something very important, rummaging through them as if he were digging into the earth, and everything was dug out from the depths.
"No, no, no, what the hell is there, I remember it seems to be here......"
Li kept rummaging through things, his eyes flashing over the objects he had dug up, throwing them on the ground, and muttering as he spoke.
After rummaging through the mess on the low table, Lee finally found what he was looking for in the deepest part of the table, a diary stained with an unknown black liquid.
"I finally found it, but it was really easy for me to find it. ”
Li said with a sigh of relief, and wiped the diary with the black liquid on the cover several times to his magic robe with many holes.
After confirming that the black liquid on the cover had been erased, Li carefully opened the diary in which he recorded his experimental notes from many years ago, fearing that the pages soaked in the black liquid would be destroyed due to the force of his own hands.
He found that the place where he was standing and reading the book might have been too dim, and the handwriting inside was illegible in such an environment.
So he came to the campfire, where the wood was burning, and strange things were boiling in the pot, and crouched beside it, intending to read the words by the light of the fire.
After turning several pages, Venetian Lee's eyebrows were furrowed, and he stretched out his withered fingers and dipped a little of the black liquid on the page into his mouth, tasted the taste, and after thinking for a while, nodded.
"Sure enough, it's that kind of difficult magic liquid, the deep sea squid ink that has been purified by magic, this time it's not easy, the pages are all stained black, and the words inside can't be read clearly, which guy who doesn't have long eyes poured this kind of thing on my notes, let me know that I must let him taste the bitterness"
Li said unhappily, Zou Qi's eyebrows turned into deep grooves, fortunately he had other methods, otherwise it would be more than just Zou Qi's eyebrows.
Then he put his hand on the open page and pronounced the incantation with a serious expression.
"God of water, help me to purify the dirt in front of me, and the purified water will appear!"
An open palm-sized magic circle emerged from the palm of his hand that had placed on the blackened page, and a water-like substance flowed out of the magic array and flowed through the blackened pages, including the diary.
As he had expected, the blackened liquid was carried away from the pages by his own magic, and flowed to the floor, staining a large patch of black, and his tight eyebrows loosened and returned to normal.
"There's nothing magic can't do. ”
As always, don't say an uncomfortable mantra for a day.
Lee's admiration for magic is a match for those fanatical believers, and he thinks that there is nothing in the world that magic can't solve, and if there really isn't, then he himself created it, and that's how confident he is.
Indeed, over the decades, he has created a lot of new magic, most of which is rubbish, but a few of which are considered masterpieces.
"After that, I can dry it with the low-level magic blowing technique of the wind system, hehe, I'm really a genius. ”
Li was very happy, and used a diary that was like a hair dryer and the wind magically dried it.
"Okay, this time you can see the records written in the past, and it's up to you whether this experiment can break through......"
Lee's expression froze in place after turning a few pages, and then he closed the diary and slowly changed from a squatting position to a standing one.
Then he took a deep breath and flicked his hand, and the diary threw it into the burning fire......
"What about the pit daddy!!"
The notes in the diary were gone, lying on the floor with the jet-black liquid, and the diary was brand new, and it looked like a new book could be considered, and its original value was gone.
I forgot to mention one thing, Venice Lee is a time-traveler.
