Chapter 7: The Eccentric Old Man and His Inventions

Luo Qi walked alone through the academy's garden.

There have been five deaths in a row, and all of them are special students Luo Qi pondered, connecting the possibilities.

Special enrollment is the non-magical family members that the Academy is looking for every year, except for the magicians of the family lineage, and once they grow up, they may become new families in the kingdom, thus increasing the strength of the country. "Could it be that the murderer came for this purpose? In this case, it is really possible that there are people from the demon clan lurking in the academy, but with the methods of those old guys, how could they not find out? The resurgence of the demon clan, they will not know? And how could they let a demon clan infiltrate the academy?" Luo Qi lowered his head and walked step by step, and before he knew it, he walked to an alley at the end of the garden.

"Huh?" Luo Qi felt as if the light had dimmed and looked up.

I saw that I had walked into a narrow alley, with dense foliage overhead, and the walls on both sides were covered with moss, and part of the wall began to fall off, revealing bricks deep inside, and when I looked up, the depths of the alley looked very dark.

"Why didn't you find out that there was an alley here?" Luo Qi frowned and thought for a while, "Go in and have a look, it's inside the academy anyway." ”

The road inside is in disrepair, potholes, and in some places there is standing water, the road is covered with fallen leaves, and from time to time there is a crisp bird cry from the dense foliage, as if separated by a wall, it has become two worlds with the college.

Turning a corner, Luo Qi saw a door, a wooden door without decoration, hidden in a false position, "Hey, excuse me, is there anyone?" Luo Qi hesitated for a moment and asked softly.

There was no response.

Luo Qi stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door with his hand, and with a little dust, the door was opened. The scene in the house unfolded in front of Luo Qi.

"This is" Luo Qi looked at what was presented in front of it, and couldn't help but wonder.

It was all odd things, some big-bellied glass bottles with long, curved and slender necks, containing unknown colorful liquids, and a bunch of finger-thick glass bottles, all stuck in a plastic box full of holes. There was also a glass bottle with a fire burning on top, containing a clear liquid, and a large wide-mouthed cup placed on top of it.

"It's all these," Luo Qi was puzzled, and stepped forward, trying to touch the glass bottles.

"Who are you!" A loud shout suddenly exploded behind Luo Qi's back, startling Luo Qi to turn around instantly.

"Hey" Luo Qi turned around and found that standing behind him was a little old man who was angry and strangely dressed. "That"

"Who are you, what are you doing here, are you going to steal my experiments!" the old man yelled at Rocky.

"Well, I'm sorry, please listen to me explain," Luo Qi said after sorting out his thoughts, "I'm a student in the Department of Abilities at Bitrarch Academy. I stumbled here by accident today, so please forgive me. ”

"Students?"

"Yes, that's right. Luo Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then don't you know that this is a place where students are not allowed to enter!" the old man suddenly changed color again.

"Not allowed to enter" Luo Qi felt a headache, so he had to explain again, "I just entered the school in the past few days, and I don't know the rules, so"

"Don't explain any more, it looks like I'm going to deal with you according to the rules," the old man walked around, "I'm going to put you in a cage and throw you outside the school, and by the way, tell Hodman that you never come back!"

"What, what rules, I'm sorry, I'm really" Luo Qi felt that the old man in front of him clearly didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, and felt very headache.

Just when the old man was thunderous and Luo Qi was helpless, a knock suddenly sounded, "Who is it! Could it be that the students of the academy are so ignorant of the rules now!" the old man shouted and turned around, but when he saw who the person who came, he opened his mouth and was speechless

Luo Qi turned his head and looked out the door, only to see a familiar figure with silver hair standing there, with a slight smile on his face - it was Yuechen!

"Mr. Boham, it seems that you are not in a good mood today. Yuechen looked at the old man with a smile.

"Ah, yes, yes!" Bohan was stunned for a moment, then nodded violently, turned back to Luo Qi and said, "You have to punish this student well!

"That, Senior Yuechen, I" Luo Qi hurriedly excused himself, but Yuechen raised his hand at him and stopped him.

"Mr. Boham, I'm sorry for his slight faux pas, but," Yuechen paused, then said, "He's not just a student, he's a guest of the family. ”

"A guest of the family?" said Bohan's white beard was about to rise.

"That's right, guest of Traclus, honored guest. Yuechen brushed her hair with her hand, and then looked at Luo Qi, "At eight o'clock in the evening, in the garden pavilion, I have something to look for you." With that, he turned and left.

There were only two people left in the room, Luo Qi and the little old man Bohan, Luo Qi felt a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Bohan, right, I"

"I'm so sorry!" Bohan looked back and bowed to Luo Qi, startling Luo Qi.

"Sir, you are"

"Please forgive the old man, I am ignorant and dizzy, I didn't even see that you are such a noble person, please accept my apologies, I am very sorry. Boham's expression was very solemn, but with his funny eyes and exaggerated beard, it was a bit of a comedy.

“”

After constant conversation, Rocky finally understood why Bohan was afraid of Traclus.

"Well, you know, I'm penniless, but I have to do my research," he said, pointing to the jars, "but no one wants to take me in, and no one wants to provide me with funds, but the Traclos family took me in, and gave me a place to stay, and gave me money for my research every month, so they are the greatest benefactors to me." ”

"I see. Locky nodded, but it wasn't so much that the Tracros family was kind-hearted, but that they were looking for any means to increase the country's strength.

"But my research has not improved, so I feel a little ashamed of the help they have given me," said Boham, bowing his head in shame.

"Can you show me your research?" asked Luo Qi cautiously.

"Oh, no problem!" said Bohan with a very happy face about his research.

"Well, it's pretty much all in this. Bohan pulled out a large chest from another room that looked like a utility room, stuffed with all sorts of things.

"I've been researching for so many years, but I haven't had a satisfactory result. Bohan looked a little lost.

"It's not easy to stick to your ideals. Luo Qi said comfortingly, then looked at the box, "Can I take a look?"

"Ah, please feel free. ”

After rummaging through the big box for a long time, Luo Qi found something that seemed more pleasing to the eye.

"What is this?" asked Luo Qi, playing with a long, flat, rectangular box.

"I'll show you this. Bohan took the box, then pointed one end of the box at the wall, pressed a certain position on the box, and with a metal crisp sound, a metal wire shot out of the box at a rapid pace, directly penetrating the wall, and then stayed inside, Bohan pulled, the thread was tight, and it did not move.

"Wow!" Luo Qi exclaimed, "That's great!"

"Well, it's all right," said Bohan triumphantly, "and the rope is strong, and it can be used to climb steep places, and to save one's life if necessary." ”

"Why throw it away?" said Roach.

"Well, the length of the rope is limited, it's not very practical, and it can't be retracted, so you have to change it again if you use it once," said Bohan, a little frustrated.

"Oh yes," Rogie nodded, rummaging through what he had placed on the ground to find a leather-wrapped box. "What is this?" asked Luo Qi.

"Ha, I'm afraid you won't believe it, this is the space box I made!"

"Space box?" Luo Qi opened the box and looked at it, it was dark inside, and he couldn't see anything.

"This box is a container that I made to break through the limitations of space, I asked to go to the location of the Blanc family, and collected some ores that are integrated with the magic of space from them, I separated the impurities of the ore in the laboratory, refined the magic factor, and then compressed and reduced the weight of the original five-centimeter-thick steel plate, yes, I know how to reduce their density, and then fit those magic factors into the box made of steel plates, and let them run at super high speed in the box, so that the special space is opened up。 Bohan said triumphantly.

Luo Qi heard it in a fog, he didn't know anything about what was refined or compressed, but what he knew was that there was a large space in this box that was a few feet square.

"That should be a very successful study, why should it be abandoned?" asked Luo Qi.

"Well, I haven't been able to take it out because of what I put in."

Luo Qi was speechless as he held the box, he thought for a moment and put a hand inside.

"Hey!, be careful!"

Luo Qi ignored him and put his hand inside.

A strong sense of sluggishness, this was the only feeling Luo Qi felt, and he felt as if the hand that had reached in was stuck into the mire, making it difficult to act.

"How did you get things out of it before?"

"Pour, but it can't pour. Bohan spread his hands.

Luo Qi smiled and turned the box upside down. "Hey. It's useless!" Bohan reminded him. Luo Qi didn't say a word and kept this action. Bohan had no choice but to watch him stay like this.

After about five minutes, something suddenly fell out of the box, and then there was a heap of them.

"What's going on?" said Bohan, stunned at the things he had already given up on getting back.

"The space in the box is very fluid and sluggish, so the falling speed of those things is also very slow. Luo Qi explained.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh!" said Boham, clapping his hands, "I see, that doesn't seem too much of a failure, hahaha." ”

"These inventions of yours are very good. "You will succeed, sir, and I am sure you will succeed!"

"Oh, oh," said Boham, nodding his head, movingly, "You're the first person to believe in me that way, thank you!" and then rubbed his hand on his body, "Ah, these things, these things, as long as you can look at them, you take them, take them all!"

"This," Luo Qi was a little embarrassed, "is it really possible? These are your own achievements." I"

"No, I'm going to start over, yes, I'll succeed, thank you, thank you! Take away everything you like, take away my failed past!"

"Well, thanks. Luo Qi thanked him, and in addition to the two boxes, he picked out some other gadgets.

"Thank you, young man, you will also be an excellent person in the future. Bohan said with a smile and sent Roach out of the alley

"Thanks," Luo Qi nodded, "Then I'm leaving." ”

"If there is anything you need help with, just come to me. ”

"Thank you. Luo Qi said goodbye to him and turned to leave.

Walking alone on the way back to the dormitory, thinking of today's encounter, Luo Qi couldn't help laughing, "Interesting old gentleman." Then he looked at the contents of his arms, "What a good harvest." Raising his head and looking at the sunset that was about to set, "Eh, that's right, Yuechen!" After thinking of the agreement, Luo Qi hurriedly turned around and ran towards the garden.
