Chapter Fifty-Seven: Metal Life

"Alowa Singwa, Messi Slanther"

Kanongamon chanted a strange incantation in front of the black wall, and the ancient vine orchid on the black wall seemed to be awakened, swaying his body slightly, and a fragrance came from the wall.

Then Ivan was surprised to see that the ancient vine orchid gradually dissipated, and a dark passage two people high appeared in the center of the entire wall.

"This is a fantasy ancient vine orchid, with a very powerful hallucinogenic effect, it can inadvertently make the enemy fall into the illusion it weaves, it is my contract magic pet, and it usually guards here. Kanongamon explained to Ivan behind him as he walked up the passage.

Ivan nodded, following behind Kanongamen, his eyes scanning the passage.

The passage is made of a special metal, and the surface is very smooth, and it has a cold and unique taste. It was only to Ivan's surprise that from time to time there were pitted and sunken dots on the smooth metal walls of the passage, which seemed to be bitten by some small insect.

The passage is not long, and after walking for a while, you will come to a huge experimental hall, this experimental hall is very vast, the size is almost half a football field, and it should be the use of a space folding magic array.

The most conspicuous thing in the experimental hall are the three giant instruments, placed on the left is a large transparent culture tank, filled with a dense green liquid, and at the bottom of the culture tank is a dense mass of golden worms, dense enough to frighten people with dense phobia.

On the right was a huge furnace, the scorching flames burned brightly underneath the furnace, and the heat wave that stirred up the furnace left a wide area around it, and above the furnace was a large pool, and the pool was filled with golden liquid, and strangely enough, no matter how frightening the temperature was at the bottom of the furnace, the liquid in the pool did not show any signs of descending.

The instrument in the center is an extremely advanced and huge microscopic realm, with a complex mechanical structure, and the degree of precision has reached an exaggerated level, and the magnification of the refraction of dozens of lenses is enough to see the whole of the microscopic world.

In addition to these three giant instruments, there are also many small and medium-sized instruments in the experimental hall, and in this instrument, there are more than a dozen dwarf creatures in white clothes who are busy, some are copying complex data of several results, some are calculating some kind of advanced formula in a notebook, and some are fiddling with some liquid in some instruments.

Kanongamon took Ivan and walked straight to an old gnome with iron-rimmed glasses: "Good day, Elder Fatem. ”

The old dwarf pushed down his glasses and said, "Good day, Kanongamen, who is this kid? ”

"My disciple Ivan, he can be trusted. Kanongamon replied.

"Good day, honorable Elder Fatem. Ivan bowed.

"No, I can't afford it, my poor old man is just a goblin slave that your teacher auctioned off at the slave market, how can I afford such a heavy courtesy from you. Fatm jumped out of his chair, dodged Ivan's salute, and said in a sarcastic tone, and walked away with an unpleasant step.

"Don't mind, Fatem has a very sensitive self-esteem because he was a slave, and he will think about the worst of some strangers' actions every time, as long as it takes a long time, you will find that Fatm is a very soft-hearted person. Kanongamon whispered to Ivan.

Ivan shook his head, showed that he didn't mind, and said, "This experimental hall of the teacher is for the study of active metals." ”

"That's right, you see, that giant culture tank, and the golden bugs at the bottom are the reactive metals I researched and invented. Following the direction of Kanongamen's finger, Ivan suddenly asked, "So what's wrong with these reactive metals?"

"Don't you think I'm a selfish person, and I have research results that weaken the weak bodies of all mages, but I hide them and refuse to show them?" Karnon Gamen asked suddenly.

I believe that the teacher is not a selfish person, and there must be something wrong with the active metal. Ivan didn't think about it, and replied affirmatively.

"Thank you for believing that reactive metals do have great flaws, come with me. Kanongamun's tone was a little sentimental, and he said, bringing Ivan to the huge microscopic realm in the center.

"Take a closer look. ”

Hearing this, Ivan took a closer look, only to see that a golden insect under the head of the realm was gradually enlarged, and slowly, the fine lines on the surface of the insect were clearly seen by Ivan.

The fine lines are composed of slender wires, which are strange, and they are the most common wires, but after they are composed, they turn into a moving golden insect.

"Isn't it strange, strange that some of the most ordinary wires in our lives can actually become moving golden insects, let me tell you an even more shocking thing, these golden insects are alive, they have autonomous consciousness, they can excrete, they can eat, they will reproduce, just like flesh and blood monsters. "Kanon Gamen is in no hurry to reveal a secret that can turn the mage world upside down.

Life, how is it possible, these golden bugs are actually life, Ivan was completely shocked.

You must know that in this world, only creatures with independent consciousness and reproductive ability can be called life, like some puppet creatures that are active but do not have independent consciousness, alchemy creatures cannot be called life at all.

Even an undead creature like Azocre and Azumov who have autonomous consciousness but do not have the ability to reproduce cannot be called life.

And in people's hearts, the only god who can create life is called omnipotent, and how Canongamon suddenly tells him that reactive metals are life, how can this not shock Ivan.

"Teacher, what the hell is going on?" asked Ivan anxiously.

"It was a failed experiment of mine, and by chance I created a golden bug made of metal all over its body, with no cells and no genes, but I found mental power fluctuations in its mind, which are also called magic power fluctuations in mages.

At that time, I was very shocked, because everyone knows that any living creature has spiritual power, which means that it has independent thinking consciousness, and if it has strong mental power, it can even learn our human language and communicate with us.

Out of strong curiosity, I did not destroy this golden bug, after a series of studies, I found a lot from the golden bug, and found that this bug needs to eat, it will excrete, it also needs sleep, and it will slowly grow over time. Kanomon told the story.

"And then?" Ivan continued.

Then Kanongamun, the bastard whose curiosity killed the cat, let a terrifying monster that seemed simple but enough to destroy the whole world and let it quietly multiply into them. Before Kanongamen could speak, Fatem's voice came from behind the two of them.
