"The Land of the Dead?"

Ange had heard of this and frowned, "Doesn't it have anything to do with that thing?" I thought we were in the fabled land of the dead...... Tell me about it, you know more about alchemy and dragons than I do. ”

"What the hell?!" The Night's Watch pressed a gas mask to his face, the mask that didn't match his fat face looked quite funny, "That's the ultimate dream of our alchemists!" ”

Then his voice lowered again, and he seemed a little unconfident: "Although no one has really seen it...... He said that he had seen it and was burned to death by a sorcerer in the Middle Ages. ”

The Night's Watchman's last sentence almost left Ange speechless, and he knew that his old friend was sometimes not particularly reliable, especially now after decades of stable life.

But at this time, don't be tricky!

Probably really feeling a little embarrassed, the old thing with a gas mask scratched the back of his head, and sneakily glanced at the scarlet world outside the door:

"All in all, the authenticity of the Land of the Dead is questionable, and legend has it that it is a world that coexists with our world. There are many rules that are very different from the reality we are familiar with, there is no day or night, it is always shrouded in half-dark and half-light light, and everywhere is filled with the "dead element" that alchemists crave most. ”

"Raw materials that are unimaginable to the outside world are everywhere, even a speck of dust is worth a lot in this world, and even picking up a stone can refine the legendary elixir of immortality and philosopher's stone. You can imagine what a treasure trove it is, and if someone does enter the land of the dead, he'll either not say a word, or he'll show off his experience, and then you know. ”

Ange nodded, he was burned on a cross, there wasn't much alchemist could fight, and even fewer were beasts like the Night's Watch.

There are very few alchemists in history who have boasted of mastering the Philosopher's Stone, with the only exception probably being the legendary alchemist Nicolas Flamelmel, often referred to as "Nicol Lemay".

Nicol Lemay was a Frenchman, a famous alchemist of the 14th century, whose most famous contribution was the creation of the philosopher's stone, the philosopher's stone, which is said to have been used to successfully turn mercury into gold.

But after all, this is a legend, and Ange thought about it, and asked the night watchman again, "Do you have anything more private in your house that has been handed down?" ”

The Night's Watch glanced at him angrily, but replied anyway, "Alchemy is a technology that only emerged in the Middle Ages, but it is said that the origin of alchemy comes from the 'King of Bronze and Fire', one of the four great kings of the Dragon Clan. ”

"The Roman Empire was the time when alchemists were at their freest, and they could even be the king's guests, refining all kinds of new and interesting tools for them, and laying bathhouses to circulate hot water pipes throughout the empire."

"Sounds like a plumber doing a lot of work like a plumber now." As a representative of the new faction in the secret party, Ange's understanding of alchemy was limited to the statement that "alchemy is the predecessor of modern science", and sighed thoughtfully: "Could it be that alchemy is a flame stolen from the dragon king?" ”

"Just like Prometheus, who stole fire in mythology, I remember that the myth of Prometheus was not only circulated in ancient Greece, but also in the time of the Roman Empire...... I don't know if there is any such influence in it. ”

The Night's Watch shrugged, "Who knows, no half-breed can survive that era, history is just a little girl who can be dressed up." ”

"However, almost all of the known advanced alchemy techniques apply various dragon scripts, so this is undoubtedly a technique passed down from the dragon clan, but perhaps the dragon king did not expect that the technology passed down by himself would eventually become a sharp blade to pierce themselves."

There was a lot of meaningless speculation, and he finally shook his head, "In short, this is definitely not the so-called country of the dead, it is more likely to be like the 'other world' that Chu Zihang and your good student went to...... This place gives me a bad feeling, you may think it's mysterious, but I can feel that my spirituality is being polluted by something. ”

"I'm afraid that not only are there a lot of unknown substances on those monsters outside that can pollute us, but even the air contains a certain amount of polluting components, such as ...... Some kind of bacteria or virus? ”

"There is a saying circulating in the circles of alchemists that the 'Black Death' that circulated in the Middle Ages was actually a product of alchemy. I used to get a plague bacterium for alchemical experiments because I was interested, and although the original plague strain could not be found for a long time, this plague germ that had been iterated many times still showed quite unusual activity in an alchemical environment...... Perhaps alchemy has a special effect on such tiny things. ”

Ange was startled, he didn't know that his old friend had played with germs before.

This kind of thing is mixed with alchemy, which can only be described as "old" in his impression, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel outrageous, do alchemists play so big?

The night watchman didn't know that his old friend was secretly slandering him in his heart, and his voice became a little serious: "I think this world has been filled with some kind of powerful virus and bacteria, but if you inhale the air, you can still resist it in a short period of time relying on our half-breed physique." ”

"However, if you are infected by direct contact, or wait until the virus accumulates to a certain level, you may need the corresponding antibodies and antidotes to do so......"

"In the academy, we may not be the only ones who have come to this world!"

Ange's attitude also became serious, the strength of those monsters outside may be easier for him and the night watchman to solve, but not necessarily for those children who have not yet graduated.

But after thinking about it, he felt a little more relieved in his heart, "But we still have at least the Lionheart and the Student Council...... The children who are keen to fight are not babies who need to be cared for in the palm of our hands, but a group of lions who sharpen their claws. ”

"The more dangerous the environment, the more talented people will be able to stand out."

"I don't think those kids will let us down."

……

……

The other side.

The ceiling of the lecture hall was gone, revealing a gloomy sky and lead-gray clouds.

This creepy familiar feeling immediately pulled Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang back to the world of misty ruins, and the island of Kismes, which had fallen into the apocalypse, was so depressing, it seemed that even the air was filled with a bitter smell like rust.

Beside Zero, Lu Mingfei, who was carrying the Chimera Reverse Break, nodded to Chu Zihang, who had already sorted out his weapon:

"Next, let's go and meet your people first."
