"Alchemy is a very worthwhile subject, but it's a pity that my time is limited, at most I can only provide some ideas, and the follow-up work is basically up to you." Colin Road.

"Yes."

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, Colin's idea of an "alchemy workshop" is too crazy, and to a few conservative magicians, it can even be compared to necromancy.

However, perhaps Wald, who had once been a crazy magical geek, hit it off.

"But this is a long-term job, there is no need to rush for a while, I suggest you go out for a walk and exercise, otherwise you will damage your body, and it will be a great loss to me, in addition, meditation is also a kind of mental relaxation for magicians, I don't recommend you to give up completely." Colin laughed.

"Yes." Wald said in shame.

"Also, you should be short of manpower here."

"Yes...... It's a bit ......."

"In the past, when I was in Thunder City, at least Eleanor and Angelo and others were helpers, but when I got here, I became the commander of the light pole." Colin smiled, "I'm going to equip you with a few magic apprentices as assistants. ”

"Thank you, sir."

"Since there are more people, I'll arrange a bigger studio for you." Colin said, "How about it be called the 'Magic Lab' then?" ”

"I love the name." Wald smiled brightly.

"That's it for now, maybe when the scale is bigger in the future, we can come up with a more imposing-sounding name." Colin laughed.

"It's all up to you."

"Then you're busy."

After saying that, Colin turned to leave, and then immediately turned around and smiled, "I almost forgot, I have something for you." ”

He took a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Wald.

"It's a project I've been thinking about for a long time, but I haven't been able to take care of it because of other more important things, but now seems like the right time...... The idea is messy, please help me sort it out, develop a feasible plan, if it's okay, you can do a few exploratory experiments first. ”

"Okay, I'll follow up right away."

Wald took the paper and watched Colin walk out of the room.

Then, he unfolded the first piece of paper, and saw a line written on the top:

"Ideas for Optimizing Papermaking Materials and Processes"

……

……

Colin left Wald's room with his hands in his pockets, he hadn't worn magic robes for a long time since he arrived at the Twilight Fortress, on the one hand, the lordship was not suitable, and on the other hand, it was too cold here.

Even indoors, the empty castle still looks cold.

As the second line of defense after the fortress wall was breached, this castle was designed with the needs of a large number of garrisons in mind, so the castle with a height of tens of meters has a total of nine floors, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 people without considering comfort.

It is said that the castle has a history of nearly 1,000 years, but it is clear that it has not been repaired much in recent years, which is probably related to the poor economic situation of the fortress, and Oliver Gray belongs to the real "landlord's family and has no surplus food".

Because the castle was so large and structurally complex, Colin had not been able to fully understand the layout until now, and he turned around the floor twice before finding a staircase leading to the upper floor.

Pushing the door open into the lab next to the master bedroom, he sat down in front of the Typhoon Collider and took a deep breath.

No matter how busy he is, Colin still finds time every day to practice the use of space magic.

Although no further breakthroughs have been found yet, the existing use of space magic has become more and more proficient.

For example, when the original space is transferred, the object must go through a process of decomposition and recombination.

There is a question of the concept of "space" at stake. What space is, or understanding of space, is the biggest reason why most people can't make progress on it. Space is often referred to as an abstract concept created for the sake of description, which is not wrong in itself, but it is very different from space in the magical sense, which tends to be more of a material property.

Without matter, there is no space.

Space must be based on matter, otherwise it is meaningless. In other words, space itself is an important property of matter.

And the human beings of this world, except for reaching the level of Roman Sagan, few people can understand, or even try to understand.

To a large extent, this is misled by the word "space".

It's as if the "wind element" actually has nothing to do with "wind", it can't be clearly expressed in a few words, but humans have to describe this thing through a familiar and vivid word, which gave rise to the name "wind element".

Colin put his hands on the conduction devices on either side of the Wind Core Collider, and the next moment, the metal block in the glass cover on one side disappeared instantly, and then immediately appeared in the glass cover on the other side.

The absence of a process of disintegration and reorganization means that his control has been greatly strengthened.

Any space magic applied to an object must be formed by the combination of countless individual modules, so when it is not skilled enough, it can only be completed by dismantling and reorganizing, and when it is powerful, it can be carried out at the same time, which is like the difference in difficulty between shooting 10 arrows in a row with the same bow and arrow and shooting 10 arrows at the same time with ten bows and arrows.

Half an hour later, Colin was sweating profusely and his eyes were full of stars.

When he walked out of the lab, he found Glenn standing against the wall in the doorway.

"Mr. Glenn?"

"You are too careless, overdrawing your mental power will minimize your vigilance, this place is no better than the Mage Tower, and I am not the master, it is impossible to reach your side in an instant."

Glenn's meaning is obvious, he has not been in the fortress for a long time, and he is not familiar with the environment here, and no one knows whether it will be dangerous.

When he's outside, Glenn will stay on his feet, but inside the castle, he won't, and can't, always be close to him.

Although Colin didn't know how Glenn sensed his mental overdraft, he still felt very grateful to this opponent in chess and combat.

"I'll pay attention to it later." Colin smiled: "We haven't played chess since we came here, why don't we have a game today?" ”

"Yes."

Glenn turned to his room.

Colin followed.

in the room.

The two sat across from each other, with a chess board that Glenn had brought from the Mage Tower on a round table in the middle.

Colin took the lead in red this time, and the first step was like seven into five, and he flew a middle elephant.

Compared to Glenn's preferred mid-shot opening, the first flying elephant is more defensive and has a steady style.

"Why do you always like to use this opening? Don't you feel passive? As Glenn spoke, he set up a medium cannon in his back hand.

"Maybe it's a personality relationship, I prefer to stabilize my territory first, and then expand outward step by step, slowly trying to advance." Colin jumped a step off the horse.

"Like what you're doing in the territory right now?" Glenn asked.

Colin originally thought that he would not care about the construction of Twilight City, and smiled, "Yes. ”

The two of them took more than a dozen steps, and Glenn's three eldest sons had already crossed the river, but they couldn't tear through Colin's defense, but in order to covet the attack, they lost two of their pawns.

"Your turtle formation is a real headache." Glenn also only shows a helpless look when he is playing chess.

"Serial horses, burden cannons, and roots, it's hard for you to kill them."

In the end, Glenn, who was empty in the middle, was countered by Colin and shot it with the left lane to form a perfect kill.

"Iron door bolt, no solution, concession."

Colin grinned and took the gold coin from Glenn.
