Chapter 169: City in the Sky

The elves and dwarves in the distance were also watching this scene in distraction.

Although they had been prepared for a long time, they were still a little shocked when they actually saw that land rise into the sky.

It's not that no one of them can fly, but an island in the sky that has been suspended in the air for a long time like this, even the Queen of Tetania can't do it.

Even the White City, the royal city of the land of fairies, can only be located on the earth.

The sky is the realm of God.

The magic of the human world simply cannot make a person live in the heavens for a long time.

And now, they did.

This school of magic must be the safest place in the world, and there is no safer place than the sky.

A large amount of black earth was locked in by the roots of the giant tree and brought to the sky.

This island in the sky is not only wide enough, but also thick enough that even crops can be grown, and the land is very fertile.

As for water resources.

Char had discussed with Tony before this that there was no shortage of water in the sky.

The white clouds floating in the air are all formed by water vapor, which can be easily extracted with the use of some special magic.

Enough land can lock in enough water, and even staying in the clouds is actually enough.

There weren't too many students in the first cohort of this school.

The people on the high platform saw a different scenery at the moment.

Diagonally above is the azure sky, the lush canopy of trees obscures the sky, and as far as the eye can see, there is an endless sea of clouds.

It's an indescribable spectacle.

Char and Alicia's faces were much calmer, after all, their castle could also fly, and they had seen this kind of scenery a long time ago.

Tony also has a wide range of knowledge, and he hasn't been on the S.H.I.E.L.D. aerospace plane once or twice.

But Baigania was a little more excited.

"Unexpectedly. Really flew.

One, a city in the sky!

I've created a city in the sky!

This is definitely a miracle that will go down in history!! ”

His complexion was slightly ruddy.

Char looked at Tony, "How's it going?" ”

Tony, who was holding a wasteland-style improvised device in his hand, looked down at the data displayed on it and nodded.

"Energy can reach a balance, as long as you pay attention to replenishing fuel in the future, you can always fly."

Char nodded, there is a sea of fuel needed for nuclear fusion, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

"Next, it's time to start recruiting staff." Char muttered softly.

In addition to the teachers, most of those students are underage children, and they are boarding schools, so they must also need to have a dormitory aunt or something to take care of.

Although the hygiene of the castle can be protected from dust by the dust charm, the food of so many students in the castle, as well as the maintenance of the castle garden, etc., also need some people to work.

He looked at Baigania, "You should know the more powerful alchemists in the White City, right?" ”

Baigania nodded, "yes, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'd like to invite him to be the alchemy teacher at this school." Char said.

"This" Begania's expression was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Char asked.

"You know that, too." "All alchemists spend their lives pursuing the Philosopher's Stone, and they see it as the end of alchemy, and so does my friend.

The study of alchemy is resource-intensive, so he will also take on some alchemy work to earn money.

But other than that, he doesn't do the rest of the time-wasting things.

Teaching students, that's the kind of thing for him. ”

"Then he never taught a student?" Char asked.

"Yes." "More than 100 years ago he had a student, but he was very demanding of his students. ”

"Can you introduce me to someone?"

"Who?"

Char pointed to Tony on the side, "Him." ”

Begania looked at Tony with some dismay, "Isn't he an alchemist?" ”

He was also present when Tony activated Cold Nuclear Fusion.

Alchemy is very similar to chemistry, so when he did those chemical operations, he thought Tony was also an alchemist.

"He's not." Char said.

Baigania nodded, he thought for a moment and said, "I owe you a debt for giving me this opportunity to design such a building.

I can introduce you, but I can't guarantee that he will accept him.

He is very demanding and has an eccentric personality.

And he has also confiscated apprentices for more than a hundred years.

With all due respect, I'm not confident in that. ”

"That's not a coincidence." Tony raised his head slightly and said, "I also have high requirements for my teachers. ”

Baigania's face froze, and he looked at Char.

Char, on the other hand, smiled, "Let him give it a try." ”

Then, Char took the men off the high platform.

He connected the door to the castle on a door in the school's headmaster's room.

Through that door, they returned to the White City.

And Begania took Tony directly to find his alchemist friend.

The alchemist's house was located on the ground floor of the White City, it was a very corner house, and the house was also very dilapidated, perhaps because the study of alchemy required a lot of materials, so even if he made a lot of money, he actually couldn't leave much.

However, he estimated that he had made a lot of money from Char during this time.

Without knocking, Baigania pushed the door open, and a peculiar smell came to his nose, the smell of some very pungent chemicals.

There are quaint parchments scattered all over the place, and there are many mottled spots on the walls, floors, and desktops that have been stained with unknown chemicals.

Many bottles and jars were placed on one of the tables, and the bottles were red, white, pink, green, liquids and powders of various colors.

Tony, though, thought it wasn't dye.

In the midst of the mess, a half-centenarian in a shabby black robe was hunched over a table, a scaled glasses made of many lenses, a gold coin on the table, and a piece of lead at his side.

There were some other metals and potions scattered around.

"Anything else?" The man seemed to sense Bergania's arrival, and asked without looking back.

"I've got you a student, Punk." Baigania said.

"Students?" Punk frowned slightly, "I haven't had anything that troublesome in years. ”

"I owe someone a favor." Baigania said.

"So you're going to let me pay it back?" Punk scoffed.

Vegania put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "If I hadn't given you this order, you wouldn't even be able to afford to eat now."

You owe me a favor too, Cyberpunk. ”

Punk was silent for a moment, then he lifted the glasses up and turned his head to look at Tony.

His eyes were green, and there was a sense of sophistication in his eyes.

And Tony was looking at him, too, with the same sense of sophistication.

"I'm a person with limited patience and I'll only give you one chance."

Punk walked over to the table on one side and pushed the books and papers aside to reveal an area.

He picked up chalk and drew a circle on the table, then placed a glass of water on top of it.

"You should be able to use basic magic, right?"

Tony nodded, "I've learned a little." ”

"This is a refining array." Punk turned and sat back in his place.

"If you put in magic, you can decompose and reconstruct matter.

But only if you can understand the nature of matter.

If you can decompose the rest out of the water, then you're qualified.

If all you decompose is water, then just leave. ”

He had thought that the man behind him would retreat, but who would have thought that he would hear a word next.

"It's as simple as that?"

"Simple?" Cyberpunk raised an eyebrow and looked at Tony in displeasure, "Do you know how much wisdom is contained in the water?" ”

Then, he saw Tony slowly step forward to the side of the formed formation, press his hand on the circle, and try to enter the magic into the circle.

A faint glow lit up on the lines of the circle, and then, the water in the cup was decreasing at a rate that was visible to the naked eye, rapidly decomposing into some gases that were difficult to see with the naked eye.

At the same time, however, Tony pulled out a homemade lighter from one of his pockets and snapped it.

The hydrogen gas was quickly ignited, and the blue flame was fleeting in the darkness.

The flames seemed to burn out the oxygen in the space, making it extremely silent.

He looked at the punk with a slightly condensed look in his eyes.

"The chemical formula of water is H2O, which can decompose hydrogen and oxygen, hydrogen is flammable, oxygen is combustible and combustible is something that my children who are less than 10 years old know."

Understand, decompose, reconstruct......

Tony had some guesses about the nature of this alchemy at the moment.

In that case, the science he knows may be equally applicable here......

He looked at the things on the punk table and spoke.

"I heard, you're researching the technique of turning stones into gold?"

Cyberpunk came to his senses, but was speechless.

"How far have you go?" Tony asked.

"Do you know the structure of gold?

Or is it just to stop at the atom and just know that gold is made of the element gold? ”

Punk, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke, "Atom. What is it? ”

"The basic particles that make up the elements." Tony said, "Elements speak only of kinds and not of numbers, while atoms speak of both types and numbers."

All matter in this world is basically made up of atoms, including life. ”

Cyberpunk's brow furrowed slightly, he could still understand this, but he had done this experiment in the past by breaking down matter into the smallest monomers, except that he collectively referred to them as monomer elements.

"If you just study atoms, you won't be able to find the commonality between gold and the rest of the matter."

Tony leaned back on the table and said, "You need to study the tiny world, which is the composition of atoms. ”

"You know?" Punk asked.

"Anyone under twenty years old knows these things in my place." Tony raised an eyebrow.

"All atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Whereas, gold is composed of 79 protons, 118 neutrons, and 79 electrons. ”

He pointed to the lead on the table, "And lead, which is composed of 82 protons, 82 electrons, and 125 neutrons, is the difference between the number of protons and the number of electrons.

In other words. ”

Tony looked up at Punk.

"As long as you have a way to change that, you can turn it into gold.

Of course, it's not that simple, and there are some fundamental issues that you need to solve. ”

"What is Fundamental Force?" Cyberpunk asked, as an academic, he had the instinct of a scholar, and he could sense that Tony wasn't talking nonsense.

Tony's eyelids twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into an imperceptible curvature.

"It's been a long time since I've taught a student."

He looked at Punk.

"And, I'm very demanding."

Baigania looked at Punk, and then at Tony.

It always seemed that things were going in a direction he didn't expect
