As she approached, Lizzie began to think about what she should do.

The small building that Liki used as a lookout was only three stories high, and the brick corridor made the sound of footsteps on the floor clear to Liqi's ears. She was in a position that caught the man's movements, and allowed her to think about her next move.

The spell now used to eavesdrop on Danvers' conversation is similar to the Soul Bond she used to contact Curt, only slightly rudimentary. It will take the sounds it collects directly into its head without anyone else hearing it. Therefore, just passing by does not tell that she is eavesdropping on others.

With this advantage, Lizzie naturally doesn't worry about suddenly encountering other people. If necessary, she can fool around by lying that she is walking around.

The man who was approaching didn't know how old he was, and the sound of his walk seemed to be limping, and he seemed a little vague when he stepped on the brick floor. I don't know if it's because I'm not in a good position or what, but Lizzie can tell that he doesn't move quickly in the corridor on the first floor.

After listening carefully for a while, Lizzie noticed that he was not walking slowly because of physical limitations, but because of his subjective will. As if he were observing the gaze of the people around him, he stopped every few steps until he was sure that no one was paying attention to his actions.

This kind of behavior feels a little strange.

Although there are many people around this art building after the course, it happens to be in the blind spot of the crowd, and few people will notice it. Besides, it's past the time period when people gather, and no one cares about it.

Theoretically, it is almost impossible for other apprentices to come here at this time, and naturally no one will notice the movement of the owner of the footsteps. Still, he was suspicious, and he almost didn't take a step to observe, and Lizzie really didn't know what he was guarding against.

Anyway, this guy won't be in front of him for a while, and Lizzie turned her attention to the cabin where the atmosphere suddenly became hot because of Danvers's words. Some of the unassertive creatures whispered and the pressure on Lizzie to distinguish the voice suddenly increased.

"Can you tell me what that so-called 'ingenuity' is? In the midst of the noisy discussion, a voice that I had heard before came out of the crowd, "I think you should know that this mineral crystal is harmful to the human body, so it is forbidden to buy it without a special license, right?"

Sure enough, in addition to most of the "subordinates" who only Dan Fosma was looking at, there were still a few people who had doubts about his remarks. This question was asked by the apprentice whom Danfoss called Constan, and as he said, ice crystals are indeed a dangerous ore.

This ore mined from snow-capped mountains or glaciers looks like ordinary ice cubes, except that they are transparent and almost like glass with a blue glow. The original creators of this mineral were named "non-melting ice" because of its extreme resemblance to ice cubes and the fact that it does not melt.

Of course, ice crystals are not ice cubes, let alone glass or quartz, they just have something in common in appearance. Ice crystals are actually a mineral, a kind of "stone" with special properties. Essentially, they don't contain much water.

The danger of ice crystallization lies in their extremely strong cooling properties. Almost all objects that are close to them will absorb the heat inside them at an extremely rapid rate. Short-term direct contact can lead to frostbite, and long-term activity in an environment affected by a large number of ice crystals can cause people to suffer from elemental diseases.

But Danfoss was not interested in Constance's question, and he maintained his usual steady tone: "He just used the pipe he had access to, and I can guarantee that there is no problem." Also, you're quite right. This mineral does have certain dangers, so we should also be careful when using it. ”

His tone was so steady that it was easy to believe what he said. Especially with the exception of the apprentice named Constan, the people who were almost all kept in the dark didn't seem to care about the origin of the material at all, they were just expecting to get their hands on the spell as much as possible.

After a brief silence, Constance seemed to want to state his thoughts: "Even if it is so...... But this material is still too dangerous......!

"I should have said it already, and I can guarantee that there are no problems. But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Danvers's steady, powerful voice, who repeated his assurance, and then changed his tone to Constance, "Or do you think my assurances are invalid?"

"No...... Well, that's not the case. I just want you to pay attention to the legitimacy of this thing, and the previous little real yàn is okay to say...... But this time, we're going to get in touch with the unstable dìng material, and use it to unleash highly lethal spells, which if it's revealed......"

Overwhelmed by Danvers' sudden explosion, Constant's rhetoric began to become slurred. He frantically organized his words, trying to express his thoughts.

Constein's concern is not surprising, the ore is quite dangerous, so it is not only necessary for the staff to be equipped with special protective gear when mining, but also to be careful when transporting and selling it. This is one of the main reasons why the Dominion strictly controls the exploitation and trade of this mineral.

Moreover, the "ice pick" technique they are trying to learn now is obviously beyond the civilian level. Even if it is a technology that has long been eliminated, this specification is enough to hurt ordinary people. The people present were all ordinary apprentices, and none of them were qualified to use spells of this level.

If nothing else, Oscar was theoretically the only apprentice of their age who could legally use the spell that Danforth called "Icicle". As a part-time mercenary, he can be armed under the supervision of regular mercenaries and use spells with a little bit of aggressive strength. Even ancient spells are true, as long as Oscar writes a report and submits it to the management office, he can really get permission to use it.

Danfoss looked down on Oscar, who was in the company of "lowly mercenaries", perhaps because Oscar chose a different path to get ahead of him, which may be the biggest mockery for him who secretly studied ancient spells. Thinking about it like this, Lizzie couldn't help but smile secretly.

Danvers, who didn't know he was being teased by Lizzie, laughed a few times: "I can understand your thoughts, and I can understand your usual cautious style." But my friend, you must know that prudence is indeed a good quality, but if you think too much about it, you will lose the best chance of action. ”

"Actually, none of your worries are a problem. The way we obtained these ice crystals in the first place is absolutely legitimate, and no one will be held accountable for it. He went on to say, "As for our research leaks...... I don't think any of you here are people who can't keep secrets, right?"

After this sentence was spoken, the cabin, which was the "meeting place", suddenly fell silent, and the unassertive people who whispered before stopped talking. Although there is some opposition, Danfoss, as the organizer of the society, is undoubtedly the most intimidating.

"Okay, if no one else has any objections, I think that's how things can be decided. Danfoss clapped his hands and concluded, "I'll get ready for usable ice crystalline powder by the next convening day, as agreed, and then continue our research." ”

He, an elemental apprentice at Danvers, plans to process ice crystals?

As far as she could remember, the curriculum at the Catrice Academy for the general apprentices of the Higher Education Department did not include techniques on how to process ice crystallization. She speculated that it was probably because the grinding of this ore material was not only time-consuming but also inherently dangerous, so the apprentices would only be exposed to the handling of dangerous substances after graduating from the Higher Education Department and entering the Bachelor's Department, which had a specialized training course.

Before he finished speaking, the previous muffled voice came out again: "But you can, but processing ice crystals is very unsafe work, Danfoss...... Don't you really need an assistant to help you? If you do, I think there are a lot of people who will be happy to help you. ”

It was already quite a hassle to get their hands on the mineral - in fact, Lizzie knew that Danfoss had stolen it. And for them to be able to use them for spells, they need to be further finely ground - this step is the most important step.

It takes a lot of effort to just crack a piece of ice crystal, split it, grind it, and then stabilize it so that it can be used as a spellcasting material. And if you want to provide a share that everyone present can use sufficiently, it is not a task that can be completed by one person in a short period of time.

However, Danfoss did not accept his suggestion, but said very strictly: "There is no problem, I can solve the work alone, I know the danger of this thing, so I will deal with it more carefully." Since I proposed the use of ice crystals, I have to take responsibility for handling it. ”

If you only see this scene, Lizzie may also think that Danfoss is indeed a very good leader. Not only did he get the material, but he also did the processing. It is not difficult to imagine how he was able to win the trust of most of the community and make them willing to join the research community.

Just looking at the information in Liqi's hand, I only feel that his suspicious Cheng dù has been further improved.

Danfoss paused for a moment, and seeing that the other members no longer raised any objections, he loudly announced the end of the discussion to the apprentices present: "Then, all the proposals for this convening day are settled. I'll take care of my part of the work, and I hope you'll review the cast rules during this time. ”

"May the glory of wisdom, then, guide you forward. ”

"May the same glory guide you forward. ”

Lizzie listened to these words like goodbye, and suddenly felt that these people's society was not like a research group, but a little closer to a "secret society". When she thought of this, she couldn't help but get goosebumps.
