With the sound of a switch turning and the alchemy jar being snapped, Manu walked towards Reiter with a fiery red potion in his hand, and said with a calm smile on his face:

"Live up to expectations, Leiter, this bottle of bath fire potion has been successfully refined, and sure enough, it is worthy of being a medium alchemy potion, and the difficulty has increased a lot. In addition to the fact that the steps are much more complicated, the materials required are also a lot more, and the different times, processes, and common reactions between the various materials involved in it have raised the required mental power control ability by several notches at once. But what's interesting is... I'm still mentally capable of doing that. ”

“......”

Listening to this Versailles-style speech, Reiter looked at Manu with a complicated expression, was silent for a moment, bit his lip and said, "Hmm... It's a beautiful job, but I'm curious in my heart, why are you only having the spiritual power of a third-level magician, but you can do things that are difficult for a magician to do? ”

Manu gently shook the potion bottle in his hand, looked at the fiery red liquid circulating in it, thought for a moment, and said:

"If you talk about this problem, there is a sentence that has to be said, although the power ceiling of this transcendent world is very high, the alchemy principle of this world is quite simple, and in the world where I was before, it is just the level of a better university college."

This is not to despise alchemy, in fact, its difficulty lies not in the principle, but in the operation. To study alchemy to a high level, it is necessary to have a subtle control of mental power to a terrifying level. Because of this, as long as the level of control of spiritual power reaches a certain standard, no matter how complicated the alchemy principle is, as long as you are willing to follow the experimental procedures, it is not difficult. ”

Hearing this, Reiter was so numb that it was difficult to shock Manu, but said thoughtfully: "You mean to say that your mental state is special compared to ordinary magicians?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Manu carefully and nodded in self-affirmation, "Hmm...... It makes sense, whose spiritual body can move freely in the outside world? Although the total amount is about the same, the texture is obviously very different, not only can it touch objects freely, but it will also change color when it absorbs the mysteries, which is simply unheard of......"

When the words fell, Leiter couldn't suppress his curiosity, and once again spread his spiritual power, carefully perceiving the special features of Manu. Crystal-like tentacles of spiritual power swept across Manu's body, and you could feel the special structure of the external spiritual power. If the spiritual power of a normal magician is compared to a whole, Manu's spiritual power is like an ocean composed of countless grains of sand, which seems to be a whole, but is actually composed of countless individuals. But the amazing thing is that these individuals are of the same origin and are not difficult to control.

Leiter's eyes were amazed, but he couldn't explain this phenomenon at all, and when he wanted to spread his spiritual power again and penetrate into the opponent's core, Manu's face showed a trace of pain.

Seeing this, Leiter hurriedly stopped and withdrew his mental power. If you don't know the special nature of Manu's spiritual body, everything comes from the internal core, if it is violently broken, the soul of the other party will be scattered, which is definitely not what Leiter wants to see.

"I'm sorry......" Reiter said apologetically, "I'm really curious......"

"It's okay, even I'm curious." The look of pain on Manu's face gradually receded, and he turned to a thought: "Speaking of which, the special feature of my spiritual power may originate from the most core area of the body. Although I can change my form at will, when I shrink to the size of the core of the point of light, I can't continue. I think that core is the key that determines the difference between me and you. ”

Leitt's eyes were full of curiosity: "Core? Can you describe it in detail? ”

"No problem, it's similar to a ball of light in a mold lake, and it is inseparable from the core to stimulate and restore spiritual power, just like the source of spiritual power. I used to think that everyone was like this, but now it seems that it is not. Manu pondered and said, "Other than that, this core doesn't feel anything special, it's like the human heart, you can't do anything about it, but you know it's very important!" ”

"I see...... said to himself, frowning and groaning for a while, but he couldn't think of a reason, so he could only smile and smile: "Okay, I don't want to think too much, as long as I improve my strength and keep exploring, sooner or later more puzzles will be solved." Having said that, your current alchemy attainments are probably comparable to that of an alchemy master, right? If you are given more time to grow, I am afraid that even the alchemists of the Holy Realm will not be able to stop you. Next, I will visit the Golden Blood Academy, and I will rely on you to help me analyze the questions about the human alchemy experiment......"

"I'll do my best!"

...

Half a month later.

Golden Blood Academy.

In a palatial lounge, about a dozen people sat on their wooden chairs, holding a wad of paper on which some data from human alchemy experiments were recorded.

Heitis, the deputy owner of the Ring Tower, stood behind the door, looking through the crowd to a floor-to-ceiling window in the deepest part of the room. His expression was calm, but one hand was behind his back and his fist was clenched, and there was a faint hint of urgency and worry in his eyes.

The room was also quiet, except for the occasional sound of turning pages. The elite alchemists and genius alchemists of these Ring Towers buried their heads very low. From the eve of their departure, they had noticed that the deputy tower master was not in a good mood, and no one wanted to touch his head at this time.

"Huh? There is something unusual about the experimental data here......"

But at this moment, an abrupt voice sounded in the room, breaking the silence, sitting in the center of the room, leaning against the wall, Hepast, holding the report in one hand and raising the other, looking at the deputy tower master, faintly confused, "Heidis deputy tower master, I found something wrong in this experiment report." ”

Hearing this, the others frowned and looked at Hypast, looking at this newcomer who had only joined the Ring Tower for a few days with malicious eyes, almost everyone had the same idea in their hearts - how high can an inferior alchemist be? What qualifications do you have to point fingers at the alchemy team of the Golden Blood Academy, we veteran alchemists don't see anything wrong, why are you a newcomer in the limelight?

"Highpast, I suggest you take a good look again, the ignorant are always fearless. Just now, it may be the illusion caused by your insufficient knowledge reserve and substandard level. A tall male alchemist turned his head and sneered.

"That's right! If you have any doubts, you can ask us first, and if you are in a good mood, we will naturally guide you. There's no need to disturb the deputy tower master at all! A dwarf man shouted in a shrill voice.

"It's so naïve, this newcomer doesn't know how to be humble about alchemy knowledge at all......"

......

The fledgling Hypaste had experienced this, he simply threw out the doubts in his heart, and didn't think about it so much at all. At this moment, in the face of the voices of questioning or ridicule around him, Hypast's face became ugly, and a touch of embarrassment unconsciously appeared.

He simply checked and understood the process and data of these alchemy experiments according to the requirements of the deputy tower master, found anomalies, and even examined himself several times to make sure that there would be no mistakes, but he was still hit by the people around him, and even doubted himself, why is this? Don't... Is it really as they say, is their level too poor?

"Enough, what's wrong with Highpaste? He found a problem and asked the deputy tower master for advice, isn't it right? A dissatisfied voice came from the depths of the room, and a man with the same young face stood up, glanced around the crowd, and said angrily: "Why can't you take a good look at your own alchemy report, and he didn't ask you, are you jealous of Hypast?" ”

"Jealous of him? Just kidding, a mere newcomer to alchemy, what qualifications do we have to be jealous of. The tall alchemist retorted disdainfully.

Perhaps unable to believe that he was being confronted by an inferior alchemist, the tall alchemist squinted, glanced back and forth between Hypaste and the young man who was helping him, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that you two still can't recognize your identity, originally I didn't want to break it, although I don't know how you two joined the Ring Tower, but since you're here, you should learn with an open mind. With the level of the two of you, joining this joint project research with the Golden Blood Academy should have been unattainable, and there is no hope at all......"

"Quiet, sit down."

Suddenly, an old voice came from the door, quickly spreading throughout the room, as if it had magical power, making everyone dumb.

The tall alchemist who was halfway through the words was stuck in his throat. No matter how aggrieved he was, he had to obey the orders of the deputy tower master and returned to his position unwillingly. Before he sat down, he glared coldly at the man who had retorted to him just now, and kept the incident in his heart.

Highpast, on the other hand, focused on the alchemy report, ignoring the tall alchemist. Not to be outdone, the young man who had helped Hypaste speak, craned his neck and glared back.

"Let this be the end of the conflict, you are all alchemists of the Ring Tower, and you should go hand in hand in the pursuit of great truth, quarrels will only slow down each other's progress."

The deputy tower master walked to the spacious aisle in the middle with an old voice, and when he walked to the tall alchemist, he squinted and said: "This time, it was you who took the initiative to provoke the conflict, and as a punishment, you will be deducted from your salary for the next month, and you will not be allowed to make an example, otherwise you will be disqualified from participating in the human alchemy project in the future!" ”

When the tall alchemist heard this, his body trembled, and a cold sweat appeared behind his back, and he hurriedly responded: "I understand, I don't dare anymore, Lord Deputy Tower!" ”

At the same time of fear in his heart, a trace of resentment also rose in the heart of the tall alchemist, he pretended to look at the alchemy report, but in fact, his body was slightly to the side, and he cast his afterglow on the young man behind him.

He has been in the Circle Tower for several years, and he knows himself well with the deputy tower master, and he has always acted fairly and justly. Although this incident was provoked by himself, the other party did not make mistakes and will definitely be punished. Even, in his opinion, since the other party is a newcomer, the deputy tower master will take this opportunity to dispel his arrogance. After all, that's how every new alchemist comes to be......

The deputy tower master crossed Hypast, glanced at the other party, and then continued to walk backwards, coming to the young man who was talking to Hypaste just now, "Piev, you should read the alchemy report quietly at this time, you are a newcomer, there are still many things to learn, and you should not quarrel with others." I'll punish you ......"

The deputy tower owner wants to give the other party a warning, warning the other party that if they commit another offense, they will also be disqualified from participating in the joint project. But in the middle of the conversation, he suddenly got stuck, he thought of the agreement with Leiter two months ago, the other party is still actively helping to find the whereabouts of the tower owner, and these two people are the characters that Leiter stuffed in. In this way, this kind of punishment is very inappropriate - if the other party really recidives, does he really want to expel the other party?

The corners of the tall alchemist's mouth next to him were slightly hooked, and he was looking forward to the other party's fate in the same fate as himself, so that he would feel better......

"Ahem, Piev, I'll punish you for today's dinner with black bread, people will be more awake when they are hungry, and reflect on today's shortcomings......" The deputy tower master made a decision, and said to him. After all, compared to the tower owner, this little thing just now is not worth mentioning.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Vice!" The young man humbly replied.

"Black, black bread...... Only one brown bread ......"

On the other side, when the tall alchemist heard the punishment result, his heart beat fiercely, his left hand holding the corner of the alchemy report trembled, and he let out a crazy roar of filial piety in his heart. Why? The gap between the two sides is so big that I not only have to be fined a month's salary, but also be seriously warned not to make an example! But the other party's result is simply painless compared to himself!

"Highpast, where did you just say there was an anomaly in the data?"

After the deputy tower master finished dealing with the quarrel, he came to Hypaste's side, looked at the alchemy report in the other party's hand in a gentle voice, and asked.

The dwarf man on the other side of the aisle, after glancing at the back of the deputy tower master, and the completely different attitude towards Hypaste and Piev from the other newcomers in the past, seemed to sense some unusual relationship, unconsciously lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and began to think about the remedial measures to be met......

Including the other alchemists, they also had a full view of this scene, their eyes rolled slightly, and they knew their attitude towards the two of them in the future......

Hypaste stood up, faced the deputy tower master with respect, quickly turned the alchemy report to the second page, pointed to a string of data directly below the crucible diagram, and said:

"This is the case, as mentioned above, that this experiment requires a full study of all parts of the human body, aiming to understand the operation of Dou Qi and all the relationships between the blood vessels, organs, acupuncture points and so on of the human body. And the previous experiments were very well carried out, and although I couldn't understand all the steps, I knew that it was quite complex and the final data was bound to be huge. ”

But here, during the most critical experiment, the heart was thrown into the crucible more rudely, and with many special materials, it was decomposed, fused, and compressed, these special materials were not only not detailed, but the final experimental data only explained in detail the use of the heart, saying that the heart has a vital role for knights, and it is closely related to the fighting spirit, and it is recommended to focus on research. In addition to these, there is less data on the alchemy steps of the rest of the human body that were described in detail in the summary. This is full of contradictions, and does not meet the basic requirements of alchemical experiments. ”

The deputy tower master listened intently, patted Hypast's shoulder with satisfaction, nodded slightly, pressed a hand on the top frame of the back of the chair, and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that you would be keenly aware of this anomaly when you first came into contact with this project, which shows that your basic knowledge of alchemy is not only firm, but also not superficial, and you are good at returning to the essence. That's pretty good. ”

Highpost scratched his head embarrassedly, "Xi, it's just a matter of getting used to it, there were few people to guide me when I learned alchemy, and there was no one to guide me on many issues, if I didn't think too much, I might still be unable to even step into the threshold of alchemy." ”

"Hmm... Growth in adversity is more solid and faster. The deputy tower master looked at Hypaste with a relieved gaze, and stretched out his hand to point to the alchemy report, "I also noticed that something was wrong here, but we have only just arrived here, and we have not yet formally communicated with the alchemy team of the Golden Blood Academy. All questions can be placed in the follow-up communication. ”

Hypaste nodded emphatically, "Understood, Lord Deputy Tower!" ”

"Hmm......" the deputy tower master smiled: "You continue to read the alchemy report first, and the others are the same, don't quarrel anymore, I'll go out and come back soon." ”

As the words fell, the deputy tower owner patted Hypast's back to show his attention, and then walked out of the door and looked left and right.

In the corner at the end of the corridor, Leiter looked at the empty garden enclosed by the corridor, which was full of exotic flowers and plants, colorful, although the number was not much, but it basically included all the magic plants and all kinds of strange plants in each department.

When the deputy tower master saw Leiter's figure, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly walked over, his chest rose and fell slightly, he took a long breath, tried to calm his emotions, and asked:

"Vilas, you...... What are the results of the survey? Have you found the whereabouts of the tower owner? ”

Ret withdrew his gaze admiring the flowers and plants, and turned his head to look at the deputy tower master, "It's a pity that I have traveled half the world, and I have run all the places related to or may be related to Mai Dong, and I have asked around, but I have not found any useful news. ”

"How is it possible...... The deputy tower master's eyes were full of disbelief, his expression was dark, and he muttered to himself.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Leiter comforted: "Maybe Mai Dong is secretly hiding somewhere alone to do experiments, or he is under pressure and goes out to relax......"

】

"No, the tower master is definitely not such a person!" The deputy tower master shook his head desperately, and said loudly: "You have such a good relationship with him, don't you know that it is impossible to rest for a long time before you have dealt with the important tasks of the tower." ”

Reiter fell silent.

Seeing this, no matter how good the deputy tower master usually cultivated, he couldn't help but grab Leiter's shoulders with both hands and shake it gently, "Vilas, you and the tower master are friends, and then think about whether there are any omissions, such as whether the tower master has revealed the next moves......

"Heitis, don't get excited, it won't help you find the tower owner in any way, if he said where he was going, I'll remember for sure...... Hey? ”

Rett flipped his hands outwards and made a picture of breaking free from the other party's entanglement, but in the middle of the persuasion, he suddenly stopped abruptly, and instead squinted his eyes slightly and frowned in disbelief.

"Did you remember something?" The deputy tower master's eyes were full of light, and he looked directly into Leiter's eyes, "If you think of it, tell me, what else did the tower master say?" ”

Leiter stretched out a palm and motioned for the other party not to interrupt him, and only after a moment did he consider:

"It occurred to me that ... We met briefly half a year ago, and he didn't talk to me for a long time because he seemed to have something urgent to do. Before parting, I seemed to hear him complain: "Gunas is urging too urgently... What's the use of a magician's head and other gossip. ”

Gunas is the dean of the Golden Blood Academy, and he is currently the person with the highest level of alchemy in the world, and only the tower master of the Ring Tower can match him. Before he came, Leiter had already thought about it, and in order for the deputy tower master Hatis to help him investigate and deal with the Golden Blood Academy, he had to make up such an excuse.

Hearing this, Heidis did not question it, but fell into deep thought, and whispered softly:

"Why hasn't the tower master mentioned this to me...... What does a skull mean? New discoveries...... Could it be the progress of human alchemy research? ”

Hedis took a deep breath, looked at Reiter, temporarily suppressed these doubts, and said solemnly: "Are you sure you heard it clearly?" ”

"My ears will never be delusional." Leiter looked regretful, "Even, now that I think about it, it may have been said to me on purpose, but unfortunately I didn't care at the time." ”

"Well, in that case, I'll visit the Golden Blood Dean alone later." The deputy tower master frowned.

"I'll go with you." Reiter said seriously.

Hatis glanced at Leiter, and didn't think much about it, just thought that the other party was also concerned about the tower master, nodded and said: "I've been here many times, and I know where the Golden Blood Dean often goes, so come with me." ”

As soon as the words fell, Hedis quickly turned, and Rett followed closely behind him, through the garden, to the other end of the corridor, and out of the arched stone door.

All the way unimpeded.

The two of them successfully arrived at a splendid palace, the palace was not large in a single floor, but it was eleven stories high, four stories higher than the Ring Tower. The outer wall of the Golden Blood Palace is paved with a layer of rubies, and the rubies are sprinkled with gold dust, and during the day, the whole is flowing with golden-red light, which is strange and luxurious.

Despite the guards and deacons, Heidis's identity was known to everyone, and with only a brief explanation of the situation, she was able to pass and take Rett straight to the top floor.

Soon, the two came to the tenth floor, rounded the corner of the stairs, and when they were about to reach the top floor, Leiter looked at the top of the stairs and his face moved slightly.

I saw two young men in red mage robes, coming side by side from the top floor, and the direction they came in seemed to be the top alchemy laboratory of the dean of the Golden Blood Academy that Hatis had just told him.

"Jayanneka, Sherman, hello, is your dean in the room at this time?" Hatis said with a smile as she looked at the two young men who were approaching her.

And hearing Heatis call the two people in front of him like this, although Leiter still maintained calm on the surface, he had already set off a storm in his heart!

"Sherman? That man's name is Sherman! (In case the book friends who read quickly forget, Xie Man is a traitor to the Light Sanctuary of the Gray Lu Kingdom in the plot of the Cold Current. ）
