Lily Manor.

Because of the drastic reduction in construction costs and the cheapness of the land, this estate is three times larger than the Lily Manor outside Silvermoon Castle, covering an area of 1 Rabang, or more than 30 rams.

Naturally, Vivien's alchemy laboratory was not built in the basement, but a large room was specially opened for spacious, bright and airy.

When Rosen walked to the door of the room, he saw Vivien, who was dancing in the open space of the room, but it was still not enough to release the joy in her heart.

He looked amused, so he reached out and knocked lightly on the door: "Vivien, it looks like you have good news for me." ”

Vivien turned her head to see Rosen, and she was full of joy and suddenly had someone to talk to.

He took off his leather apron and threw it aside, rushed to Rosen's side quickly, and with a jump, he threw himself into his arms, and his two plump thighs were clamped to his waist.

"Oh~dear, I'm so happy, the microscope you built is so powerful~"

Then, the kiss rained down on Rosen's face.

Fibbit, who was behind Rosen, saw it, spread his hands, and turned to admire the newly planted flowers and plants in the yard.

The boy became famous, and he was handsome and strong, what woman didn't love it?

Phoebit fully understood, and even felt that there were still fewer women in Lawson, because he had seen real profligate and debaucherous existences in Winterfell City, and there were quite a few of them.

After a while, Vivien's mood calmed down a little, and she said, "Honey, let's go to bed. Ahem~ Who is this gentleman? ”

She finally saw Fibbit.

Rosen raised his hand and patted Vivien's buttocks.

After the latter fell back to the ground from his arms and sorted out his slightly disheveled clothes, he began to introduce them to both parties.

"Sir Phoebit, this is Vivien. Lady Morrow, the best alchemist in the Highlands, has an extraordinary understanding of life and the transformation of matter related to life, and she herself has the powerful power of a high-level peak. ”

"Vivien, this Sir Phoebit is a high-ranking mage and is proficient in petrification spells,"

He believes that the material world is made up of a few dozen basic elements and a complex combination of basic elements. Over the years, it has focused on finding the basic elements and has managed to discover 7 of them."

Fibit immediately corrected: "No, eight have been discovered, and the last one was discovered last month."

As soon as Rosen introduced this, the two immediately glanced at each other, and out of the sensitivity of an outstanding scholar, they immediately felt that the other party was not simple.

So, Vivien immediately put away all her casual thoughts and saluted Phoebit: "Greetings, Phoebit Mage." ”

Fibbit also bowed, "Greetings, Lady Morrow." ”

After meeting each other, Rosen said, "Vivien, can you show us your new achievements?" ”

These words immediately tickled Vivien's itch.

At her point, she doesn't care about money, fame, or even ordinary worldly morality, and she doesn't need to care, because Rosen has solved it all for her.

Driven by pure curiosity, she focused entirely on exploring the deeper and more accurate mysteries of the world.

If there is someone who can understand the importance of this progress and the joy in her heart when she makes important progress, then that person is her bosom friend.

Obviously, Rosen is such a being.

So, she took Rosen's hand and went into the lab and said to Phoebit.

"Come in~ Let me show you the true meaning of mana life."

Fibbit had long been extremely curious, so naturally she immediately followed.

Soon we arrived at the test bench.

On the table is a very fine brass microscope, and next to the mirror is a wooden box with many eyepieces and objective lenses of different magnifications.

On the observation table of the microscope, you can see pieces of extremely high-quality, thick and thin glass, and a small drop of blood is dripping on the glass.

Vivien began to introduce: "This is the blood drawn from the mutant rat, and for about 10 minutes after it is drawn from the body, it can still contain quite rich mana. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to a metal cage made of Thursilver in the distance.

When the two of them looked, they saw that there were more than a dozen blue-haired and red-eyed mice in the metal cage, and the eyes of this mouse were very bright and very bright.

When the two of them stared at the mouse, the other would also look back intently, and that look was very similar to that of a human.

After being stared at for a while, Fibbit felt a little chill in her back: "How do I feel that these little things can understand us?" ”

Vivien grinned, "Don't worry, I've tested them carefully, and they don't have intelligence. ”

"The reason why I look back at you is the result of the combination of the natural sense of self-protection and the mana characteristics of living beings. I call it the 'Mana Anchoring Effect'. ”

Lawson was also stared at a little hairy, so he said, "Explain it specifically?" ”

"To put it simply, because we observers have mana, and when you look at it, it immediately senses it, and it looks back."

"But if it's an ordinary person who goes to see it, like the Sander butler who is in charge of feeding them, there is nothing out of the ordinary."

Vivien casually explained, "Of course, that's not the point. ”

She pulled out a copy of the manuscript and handed it to Rosen.

"Actually, I have been trying to find out the principle of why life can have mana, and the application of the microscope has greatly accelerated my research progress."

Rosen quickly flipped through the manuscript and found a keyword.

"Microscopic mana bubble?"

Vivian smiled excitedly: "Ah~ Lawson, your wisdom amazes me every time, you can always find the most core word at a glance." ”

She explained earnestly.

"The so-called microscopic mana bubble is a kind of spell structure composed of living matter, which is extremely small, but has a very high effect of storing mana."

As soon as he heard this, Phoebit's heart was shocked, and at the same time, a word popped up in Lawson's heart.

The two said in unison: "Mana activation effect." ”

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and there was a kind of excitement in their respective eyes.

This time it was Vivien's turn.

"What is the Mana Activation Effect?"

Rosen gestured to Phoebit with an inviting gesture.

Fibbit began to explain: "This is the basic principle of petrification. ”

"When I was studying the elements, I found that mana energy and elements work to dramatically change the properties of the elements without adding any other elements."

"Now that I hear you say this, I wonder if the so-called mana activation effect is a very tiny, that is, microscopic level, which naturally forms a spell structure that stores mana?"

Vivien's inky blue eyes suddenly brightened, and she could see the light in her pupils even in broad daylight.

"Ah~~ Different roads, even to the same destination!"

"It seems that what Rosen said is right, there is really no difference between high and low matter, but it is just transforming each other."

Rosen continued to flip through the manuscript, quickly finished it, and handed it to Fibit to the side to read.

Fibbit looked at it quickly, admiring it as she looked.

"Before I came to Crescent Town this time, I was a little hesitant in my heart, but now, I feel extremely lucky!"

"Ah~~ Thank God for the guidance that allowed me to leave a savage city like Winterfell and come to a sanctuary of wisdom like Crescent Town!"

It gives people the feeling that his face is glowing, the vicissitudes of life have faded away, and the whole person is ten years younger.

Rosen also began to read the manuscript carefully.

"There are countless small bodies in the body, and there are mana bubbles in each small body. The closer the body is to the brain, the greater the number of mana bubbles. ”

Obviously, the 'body' here is the cell.

"There are mana bubbles in the small body of any life. Even the fish in the water, the big trees, and even the insects on the trees, and the ants on the ground. But there is a huge difference in quantity and quality. ”

"Hmm~ Sure enough, it's a different world from the earth. Rosen sighed.

"For the same individual, the quality of the mana bubble is constant and innate, which is the underlying principle of mana talent."

These words shook Rosen's heart slightly, and he immediately thought of a somewhat desperate possibility.

"It is precisely because the quality of mana bubbles is inherently constant, so when the mage's mana becomes thick and the strength becomes higher, what really changes is the number of mana bubbles."

"But the space in a small body is limited, and there is an upper limit to the number of mana bubbles."

"So, a mage's final mana achievement = quality of mana bubbles * upper limit of the number of mana bubbles."

Rosen sighed secretly: 'Sure enough! ’

The upper limit that Vivien discovered had nothing to do with meditation or understanding, it was a physical upper limit determined by the structure of the underlying matter.

There is no possibility of breaking through the physical ceiling, just like in a 100-meter race, a person with two legs will never be able to outrun a cheetah.

Want to break through?

I'm afraid I'll have to replace it with a higher-quality mana bubble.

But everything in life is connected, and it is definitely not possible to just replace the mana bubble, I am afraid that I will have to directly replace the genes of the whole body.

This is no different from changing races, the difficulty is so high that it is like climbing to the sky.

Rosen asked, "Vivien, in other words, can you roughly estimate the upper limit of a person's mana?"

Vivien nodded, "Yes."

"Actually, I estimated for myself that I was the highest and the highest, and I could reach the level 6 strength of the master, and then I would reach the top."

Fibbit also understood a little, and immediately said, "Ms. Morrow, can you give me an estimate?"

"Of course, give me a drop of your blood."

Fibit immediately complied.

Vivien expertly placed the blood on the glass, and after some skillful manipulation, she finally came to a conclusion.

"Mr. Fibbit, your upper limit is probably at the third level of the master, or the fourth level, no matter how high it is, it is impossible, because your bloodline does not support it."

Fibit shrugged, not disappointed.

"That's okay, I still have hope to reach the master realm in my life."

As long as there is hope to reach the master realm, it doesn't matter how many levels it has.

Rosen immediately said, "Look at mine again."

Vivien immediately complied, and after some manipulation, came to a conclusion.

"Rosen, your bloodline is very good, and the limit can reach master level 7."

Rosen's heart moved, and he immediately asked: "In other words, a human race, as long as he starts training since he was a child and masters the correct method, he basically has hope of reaching the master realm?"

Vivien nodded: "That's right, during this time, I have observed hundreds of ordinary farmers and townspeople, and I have come to the conclusion that the upper limit of the talent of our people in the north is about level 1 on average."

"The worst is in the high rank middle, and the best is Rosen's master level seven. As for those beyond the 7th level of the master, I haven't found it yet. ”

Rosen smiled: "Obviously, Master Sophia's is level 9, and it is really glorious in the north!"

He was going to go back and test Thrandis and Gendeloni to see if there would be any surprises.

Vivian nodded in agreement: "The master's talent is naturally extremely supreme, and it is estimated that it belongs to tens of thousands of people, or even one out of hundreds of thousands."

She didn't wait for the two of them to read the manuscript, and went straight on.

"Different types of life, the quality of mana bubbles are different, and the more obvious the difference between life, the greater the quality distance of mana bubbles."

"At present, it has been found that the average quality of mana bubbles in Terran bodies is the highest. Of course, this is also because I get too few samples. ”

"I believe that the small body of transcendent beings must have a higher quality mana bubble, and this should be the secret of their innate transcendence!"

Seeing this, even Lawson had a crazy idea in his heart to get a drop of divine blood for Vivien to study carefully.

But he immediately put away the crazy thought, and his eyes warned Vivien.

"Promise me, my dear, that you will never do anything beyond our current power!"

As he spoke, he stared at Vivien's inky blue eyes, which were the same as his.

Vivien could naturally understand what Rosen meant, but she was a little unwilling.

She didn't speak, and her eyes replied: "But Lawson, it's really tempting!" ”

Rosen nodded in understanding, and then looked at him: "Don't worry, I'll help you find a way." ”

Vivien gave a look back: "Can you figure this out?"

Rosen nodded slightly.

By this time, Rosen had a very clear understanding of the means to break through the transcendental.

He coughed lightly and made a final summary.

"The two of you can obviously feel that if you want to truly chase the highest magic achievement, rather than the luck of a blind cat touching a dead fish, you must start studying from four angles."

"These four perspectives are pure mana, basic matter, complex life, and refining tools to build various precision equipment."

"It just so happens that my wife and I have studied mana in depth, Sir Fibbit is well versed in matter, Lady Morrow is a good student of life, and my other wife is a genius refiner."

"I believe that if we work together, four in one, with incomparable patience and rigor, we will be able to open up a smooth path to the world of higher magic!"

"Together, two?"

Rosen held out his hands.

Vivien immediately put her hand on the palm of his right hand: "Honey, of course I want to be with you. ”

Fibit also did not hesitate to hold Rosen's left hand: "Baron, let future generations remember our name!" ”

Rosen continued, "It just so happens that I got authorization from the princess of the North. ”

"So, I'm going to invest about 100,000 kroner to build a 1,000-person school of magic, called La Falea-Crescent Branch."

100,000 kroner is a lot, but for a lord, as long as it is an investment in his own territory, there are many tricks of turning the left hand into the right hand, and if the operation is good, it is about the same as making something out of nothing.

What really costs money is the various experimental equipment and resources to be purchased.

But there is no rush in this regard for the time being, because Fibbit, Vivien, and Rosen all have a pretty good piece of experimental equipment.

They can imitate the existing foundation, and then improve it when it is mature.

Rosen also made a promise.

"At that time, the two of them will be tenured professors of the academy, with a fixed annual salary of 10,000 crowns, lecture fees, experimental equipment and experimental fees, and other miscellaneous expenses, all of which will be paid by me."

It is conceivable that this is a lot of money, and it is a little difficult for him to bear it now.

But it has to be spent, and it has to be spent.

Because of the four-in-one, God can be witnessed!

Vivien didn't care: "Honey, you don't have to give me money, just cover all the cost of the experiment."

Phoebit laughed heartily: "The Baron is so generous, now I don't have to worry about money anymore." ”

He has been rough for half his life, and he can finally pursue his love without distractions.
