The last time Xia Duo saw Dean Bernie was more than half a year ago, when he was observing Rhodes's advancement, but in the past half a year, he can still see the other party's name often.

During this time, the Institute has successively added nearly thirty more formal researchers, and the promotion to the official rank requires advanced arcanists.

Although Xia Duo didn't inquire, he occasionally heard the new official fellows mention Dean Bernie when he was communicating with his collaborators.

Not all of these people were presided over by Dean Bernie, but Dean Bernie was the dean of the branch after all, and presided over more than anyone else.

Later, the collapse of the Aohuo was also a common occurrence!

Seeing Dean Bernie again, Xia Duo did not see any fatigue or displeasure in the other party, but instead showed a relaxed smile that can only be found in a leisurely state.

"Good afternoon, Dean Bernie."

"Good afternoon, did you come to see me because of those people outside?"

"Nope."

Xia Duo hurriedly shook his head, facing Dean Bernie with a kind attitude, he really didn't want to use those people outside to disturb the other party, in fact, those people outside couldn't affect him at all.

He just said:

"I'm here this time mainly to represent Huck and Rhodes, and thank you, Dean."

In this regard, Dean Bernie said, "You don't need to thank me, no matter which laboratory the graduates enter, they are in the graduate school." Besides, your past achievements are worth it! Especially you-

"McCad! If you didn't take the lead in breaking the unspoken rules of the hospital, you wouldn't be able to eliminate the bad atmosphere in the hospital in a short period of time. ”

"Dean Bernie, your praise scares me, I just did what an Imperial researcher should do, and I really don't deserve your attention."

Xia Duo was a little tired of saying this, but for someone like Dean Bernie who really cares about the revival of the empire, it couldn't be more right.

As soon as Xia Duo finished saying this, Dean Bernie stood up solemnly, walked up to Xia Duo, and even patted Xia Duo on the shoulder, shouted hello, and said, "The empire has people like you, why can't you be revived!" ”

Having traveled through multiple projection planes to the present, Xia Duo has long been accustomed to the deliberate safe distance between spellcasters, and even he and Nia rarely get so close to each other in normal times.

This is especially true for other people, who rarely come closer to within half a meter.

Half a meter means that when casting a spell, the source point of the spell may be directly interfered with by the opponent, and beyond half a meter, it can only be cast separately in the form of spell confrontation.

But in fact, half a meter is not a relatively safe distance, and generally high-level mages can put the spell source point 1 meter away when casting spells, or directly interfere with the spell source point 1 meter away.

For the Arcanist, as long as the miniature magic net is deployed, the cast range will be greatly increased, and almost the area covered by the miniature magic net can become any cast area.

Of course, considering the possibility of attacks after the miniature web is deployed, the actual Arcanist will also control it within a certain range when deploying it.

But even then, 1 meter is far from a safe distance.

What's more, being put on his shoulder by a Grand Arcanist almost broke through Xia Duo's psychological bottom line, and he suddenly became nervous.

It's not entirely psychological tension, he is still relatively restrained in his mentality, mainly his body, especially his shoulders, almost immediately stiffened, and began to resist the other party's contact.

Seeing this, Bernie's face remained unchanged, but he took his hand back without a trace, walked back to his original seat, and continued:

"I'm very optimistic about you, when you become a Level 2 researcher, I will recommend you to go to the headquarters, I hope you can bring a new wind to the headquarters. Of course, if you want to stay here in the branch, you can, and the hospital will give you the greatest support! ”

After saying that, Bernie reminded again, "Advance to the Arcanist as soon as possible, this is the best counterattack to those people outside, as for now, I will help you block them." But you also have to know that as long as you don't advance for a day, the issue of rank authority will always be a point of attack on you, even if the problem does not actually exist. ”

"I understand, I will advance as soon as possible, thank you for the dean's attention and advice!"

……

Immediately from the lounge, when they passed the reception room outside, the people had not left, and Xia Duo passed by them without looking at them much.

After returning to the laboratory on the third floor, Xia Duo immediately prepared to open a new project.

After studying many links in the resurrection process, Xia Duo now has a rough understanding of why Lord Rayson lost his ability to cast spells in the accident of the resurrection experiment.

The most crucial step in the resurrection of the dead is to repair the link between the soul and the body, and until this step is completed, no matter how perfect the body is, it is still essentially a corpse.

As a corpse, its internal elemental balance is lacking, and generally speaking, it is manifested as a lack of positive energy and an overflow of negative energy.

This is also a general manifestation of corpses.

If the negative energy disappears completely after the baptism of positive energy, then the corpse itself no longer has the element of resurrection.

It needs to be replenished with negative energy, if it is unbaptized or blessed, then it also needs to be replenished with positive energy, in short, to make the elemental energy area inside it normal and living state.

On top of this, we can continue to talk about repairing the connection between the soul and the body.

If there is an accident in the resurrection experiment, it will largely cause the already unstable "living human-like elemental equilibrium" to be rebalanced.

The worse situation should be the one encountered by Lord Rayson, where the negative energy overflows explosively and also impacts the experimental caster's body.

It's not just a matter of losing the ability to cast spells, it's also affecting lifespan.

Xia Duo wasn't sure if this was the "downgrade regret pill" he wanted, but on the projection plane, it was okay to give it a try.

If it succeeds, this will definitely be able to become a strategic-level technology comparable to [Miser Energy Core].

……

After quickly writing the project application, Xia Duo hurriedly went out and came to the management center to submit the paperwork in person, and the above response was also quite fast.

Barely a few minutes later, he received a summons from Dean Bernie, "Don't resist my teleportation spell. ”

Xia Duo knew that Dean Bernie had been paying attention to his research trends, and he had just applied for a new project, and the other party immediately reacted, and it seemed that Dean Bernie was also a knowledgeable person!

The fluctuations of the teleportation spell quickly appeared around, Xia Duoyi did not put up any resistance, and in the next moment, he returned to the lounge just now.

And Dean Bernie, at the moment, was holding the project application that Xia Duo had just sent to the management center, and when he saw him coming, he immediately put down the paperwork and asked:

"How did you come up with the idea of using Negative Impact to reduce cast level?"
