After reaching the level of a master in space, Wang Shui's movements became more free.

At least on this tiny planet, he is no longer inhibited.

It's winter again.

Most of the land in this world is in the Northern Hemisphere, so the winter in the Northern Hemisphere will always slow down the world's fortunes.

This fantasy world follows the actual geography of the earth and some stages of cultural development.

It has taken hundreds of years for humanity to make explosive progress in civilization, although the process has not been so smooth and bright.

It only took a few years for Voldemort to once again bring most of the developed regions of the world back to the standard of living at the beginning of the industrial age.

The first wizard empire, the upper class is naturally still comfortable with modern civilized life.

And near the industrial belt, in that long linear densely populated area, a large number of gloomy lives are struggling to survive this winter.

Living individuals will always have an instinctive fear of death, they are always struggling, and they are always trying to live.

Wang Shui wasn't sure if the soul in the fantasy world was illusory or not, but he could indeed extract the Philosopher's Stone.

So, in addition to his daily research, he also does some other tests.

The previous incident of [Light Silver Coins] and [Light Silver Casting Mold] made Wang Shui's thinking as an alchemist active, and in a flash of inspiration, he made a new type of soul fragment casting mold.

Because it is still in the basic design stage, he has not yet chosen a name for this casting mold.

But today, after he finished his tour of the industrial area, the small box around his waist spat out two gray metal coins for him.

Exhaustion, numbness, cold, hunger, despair, and, physical pain.

All kinds of negative perceptions are condensed in these two small coins.

Just holding them in your hands will make the transcendent disheartened and pessimistic.

Aqua regia sealed them up.

Even because there were no suitable insulation materials, Wang Shui could only banish them to other spaces around them.

On the huge condensation tower, Wang Shui first looked at the industrial area in the thick fog, and then looked up at the lead clouds in the sky, and the lead-gray snowflakes.

He didn't regret anything, some feelings did still bind him, but they didn't bring him more sadness.

Wang Shui felt that he was an extraordinary person and did not have to experience those despairs.

There was no change in the space, and Wang Shui faintly blended into the background color.

At the same time, he also appeared in a warm study.

Next to the quietly burning fireplace is Sylvia, who is reading, and her nephrite sister who is clinging to her.

The sisters spent more than a year building new underground laboratories in the mountainous woodlands of northern Eastern Siberia, as well as comfortable villas in the above-ground part.

Wang Shui arrived at a small wooden house, but this study, which had an excellent view from the window, was soon occupied by Sylvia.

Outside, cold, empty, lonely, the temperature can reach minus 60 degrees Celsius in winter, and equipment directly exposed to extreme environments can easily freeze.

But it's also really comfortable.

Especially looking at the white world outside in a warm indoor environment always gives people a special sense of satisfaction.

It's probably like the comfort of blowing the cold air of the air conditioner and covering the quilt.

"I went to the field to confirm that it was consistent with the statistical report, and the industrial zone was still operating at full capacity.

About sixty percent of the arsenals are still in production, and the rest of the production capacity has been transferred to the production of conventional materials. ”

However, these supplies are not for those people.

Wang Shui sat behind his desk, looking for the end of his last job, while chatting casually with Sylvia.

"It seems that they still have a lot of confidence in proxy wars." Sylvia's answer was also casual.

"Maintaining a high-population society is also a guarantee of war, after all, those weapons need to be used by people, and I want them to feed the people.

However, they are a little scary, obviously two awakened people died, they were not affected at all, and they had no idea of thorough investigation, did they believe that it was the hand of the rebels? ”

"It's your perspective that's wrong." Sylvia's gaze still fell on the page in her hand, but that didn't stop her from thinking,

"You don't have a normal Awoken experience, that's why you take the death of your teammates so seriously, and you get entangled in things that are dangerous to the Awoken.

You must know that the Awakened are not omnipotent, and the danger cannot be eliminated.

It's not that they don't want to investigate thoroughly, it's that they don't have the energy to be distracted to do it. What about proxy wars if resources are invested in finding threats?

Right now, huddle defense is the best strategy, and even if there is a presence that can kill the Awakened, they can concentrate their efforts on it.

Of course, we've already established that it was the inner ghost who did it, and the inner ghost would definitely support a more conservative strategy, unless he still wanted to kill more people.

The motive for killing the inner ghost is still unknown, we just need to avoid them and develop slowly, are you idle? ”

Wang Shui looked at the large number of documents on his hand and could only shake his head helplessly.

Scattered snowflakes are still floating outside the window, and the plain white world is constantly getting thicker.

There was a slight crackling sound in the fireplace, and the cozy environment quickly put the aqua regia into the groove.

He has two important tasks on hand, one is to sort out his spell system and compile a magic book;

The other is to summarize his spatial ability, so that his unique spatial characteristics can be turned into words.

The spatial ability of aqua regia is completely different from the content in many related books.

His way of learning, and the knowledge he was exposed to, were also different from those of ordinary academic spellcasters.

Wang Shui once accepted synchronization with the world in exchange for the knowledge of the composition of all things, and this process of assimilation brought him a different spatial experience.

After that, he also received a gift from the stars, which was not only "star energy" and "star knowledge", but also the spatial experience of the entire starry sky.

It is difficult for Wang Shui to enter that state of synchronization now, his body, his soul, will subconsciously get rid of the danger of that assimilation.

But those experiences of being one with the world are unforgettable.

Later, he got another perspective from Master Chen, an interpretation of the world and space.

For example, the Qi where the soul resonates with life, such as the Tao of nothingness and existence.

These things, from the perspective of ordinary people, are just some vague concepts, but for Wang Shui, these are all knowledge that he can experiment and master.

With a special alloy nib, dancing on a mystical paper, Wang Shui translates his thoughts into words, symbols, and drawings.

Aqua regia writes quickly, but there is a lot to write.

His life energy and soul energy, which could not be measured simply by numbers, were also fused into the alchemy ink.

In the black ink, there are bits of stars shining with dark red, dark silver, and dark gold, making every stroke of text shine like a starry sky.

And in this process, his vitality, his spirit, and his soul are also rapidly depleting.

At some point, the large number of Philosopher's Stones on Wang Shui's desk began to glow, and they began to support Wang Shui in his working condition, and also prevent him from exhausting himself.

No matter what kind of life these souls turned into stone were before, they were the purest soul energy in the Philosopher's Stone that Aqua regia had improved.

Time never stops, it does not stand still because it is great, it does not accelerate because it is small.

Time is fair, and it will deduce the results due for all the efforts.

Wang Shui entered the state of creation without special preparation, and when he gathered his spiritual strength again and paid attention to the world again, it was already the deep winter of 2004.

The view from the window doesn't seem to change, and neither does the figure on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

Wang Shui stood up a little tremblingly, this was the weakest he had ever been after becoming a transcendent.

On the desk, all the Sage Stones in Wang Shui's inventory began to turn into powder and disappear.

They disappeared into this world, leaving not even a trace of dust in this study.

In the middle of a large number of materials and manuscripts are two thick notebooks full of inexplicable temperament.

However, they are only thicker and heavier, and they are not very large in size, and they can be held well with one hand.

The protective leather on the outside is embedded with special metal threads made of aqua regia, and then this cover has undergone the strengthening of alchemy, which can be regarded as the first layer of protection for knowledge.

These protections are not only for the protection of the notebook, but also for the protection of the reader.

Sylvia and Sister Nephrite had already come together.

The former's first reaction was to check the state of Wang Shui's life, while the latter had already begun to pick up the first notebook curiously.

"The content of the spell casting system doesn't seem to be very difficult?"

Regarding Nephrite's sister's evaluation, Wang Shui first took a sip of sweetened lemon black tea, and then replied with a sigh of relief:

"That's just a compilation of my own spell system, based on the concept of the second and third orders, and only up to the sixth order at most."

"Only? In the huge system mercenary system, there are about thirty sixth-order spellcasters, which is already quite a powerful combat power.

However, with the Awakened Person's death style, it is normal for the fourth-order or so to be in contact with sixth-order magic.

However, you are only second-order. ”

Sylvia's questioning was bland, but her tone was stern.

It was dangerous to use spells beyond the ranks, and she had seen too many spellcasters drain their bodies and souls because they couldn't control the amount of output.

Knowledge is dangerous.

Wang Shui's notebook, which goes from shallow to deep and is well detailed, is definitely an extremely high-quality magic guide book for spellcasters.

But for spellcasters with poor self-control, the knowledge above will only drive them crazy and make them inadvertently burn themselves out.

"Rest assured, I have a clear understanding of my abilities, and I have gained strength to live, to live."

Wang Shui's words are very confident, because he really thinks so.

Nephrite had already put down the dangerous magic book and went to get another one, and then, empty.

"Huh? Is this a projection? ”

After trying a few times, she still couldn't pick up the notebook, her hand could reach the desktop under the notebook, but no matter how she tried to block it, she couldn't find the direction of the projection.

Sylvia also reached for it, but naturally it was empty.

Hey, Wang Shui suddenly laughed, this is what he wanted.

In the shocked eyes of the two, Wang Shui picked up the phantom-like notebook, unlocked the copper lock, turned the page, and showed it to the two of them.

Sister Nephrite reached out again to catch it, and this time her hand ran through the notebook and caught Wang Shui's hand, but Wang Shui was still holding the book.

"It's an amazing experience to touch two spaces at the same time." This is the emotion made by Wang Shui.

Yes, he does hold that notebook in his left hand, and he does hold nephrite's hand, and he himself is in reality.

"It seems that your spatial ability is indeed at the level of a master." Sylvia was amazed that as a former Awakened with master-level abilities, she could understand that powerful experience.

"No, it's not enough, most of my current spatial ability comes from my own knowledge and experience, as well as the interpretation of space in the cultivation system obtained from Master Chen Xiao.

In the reality of the Overworld, I have only been exposed to the effects of those secret cards, and those knowledge are highly encapsulated by precious cards, which are difficult to parse, and of course, I am reluctant to open them.

After I go back, there is still a lot of systematic knowledge waiting for me to learn, and my spatial ability should grow more.

But at the same time, everyone should also pay attention to secrecy, I am a space mage who has not registered a space cipher.

For the real transcendent world outside, the wild freespace mages are more dangerous beings than those with psychic abilities. ”

In fact, Wang Shui didn't particularly worry about his sisters.

Including Sylvia, it is impossible for everyone to be caught or tortured, they can commit suicide at any time, they can extinguish their souls at any time, and then reborn in the [Thinking Lock] of the Shui Wang Soul Division.

They are digital souls, much safer than ordinary souls.

As long as you pay attention not to leak your mouth, after all, they also communicate a lot with the outside world.

Especially the motorcycle madman, she has a three-digit friend of modification enthusiasts in the vehicle market of the ruined city [Rena], and this group of fox friends often drag racing together.

Wang Shui was unilaterally dumb for more than two years, and everyone had a lot to talk about, but in order to eat, they sat around the fireplace.

The wolf cub "Moon" was the first to visit, their work has slowed down, production and testing have been gradually automated, and many people have started to go out and play.

Only a few people who like to stay in the laboratory are still doing their own research in the base.

Of course, nephrite is pure laziness.

"Moon" brings a lot of food and drink, as well as the most needed comprehensive supplement for aqua regia.

Although she is still a young figure, in terms of temperament and behavior, she has become the most mature one in the team except for Sylvia.

In the two years since Wang Shui's serious creation, the operation of the entire base has been supported by intelligent sisters, and "Yue" is their head.

The combative sisters are all training under Sylvia, exercising their combat and command skills.

Moon is also interested in the books created by Wang Shui, but in order to exchange the magic book from Nephrite, she can only sacrifice herself as a sacrifice and let Nephrite take her in her arms and ravage her.

"Are these dark silver metallic lines on the cover the name of the book? It's a text I've never seen before. ”

"Yes, but it doesn't make much sense, it's a personal script that has been eliminated, and it seems to have been developed by some alchemist to facilitate the operation of the alchemy array.

The results are mediocre, but I use them very well. ”

"So, what's the name of your magic book?"

"How about the "Water Pollution Control Guide", isn't it very domineering?"

In the already quiet study, the atmosphere suddenly solidified.

"What? Is the name bad? I usually give a name to the product, in order to make it easier to record and sell, I am restrained, but it took me two days to come up with this name! ”

In fact, "Moon" wants to complain more about the content than the name.

"It feels like it's called the "Water Pollution Manual", the knowledge and spells you recorded are really full of [water-style style], cowardly and reckless, either full pile defense dodge, or overload output.

Well? You also recorded the alchemy spell that released the cloudburst bomb at close range?!

This kind of thing, you can't show it to your sisters! ”

"It wasn't meant to be shown to you......" Wang Shui whispered in defense.

"Phew-more than two years, I thought you would sum up something useful, forget it, what about this one? This ......"

The second book on spatial knowledge is that "Yue" watched Nephrite put on the low table next to her, and she also felt empty.

Nephrite was already laughing.

With the control of Wang Shui, "Yue" can only touch the books, but the knowledge in them is quite profound for her.

It's literal profundity, a quarter of the way back, and Moon can only watch the words and patterns fade away from her vision, or disappear into the overlapping spaces.

It's a protection.

If you can't understand it, forcing you to read it will lead the reader into a phase space far away from reality, and it is very dangerous to get lost in these spaces.

So this book about space was named "The Lost Key" by Wang Shui.
