After handing over the notes excerpted from Electra to Gong Hao, Andrew went to see Hines.

"Something for the little guy?"

"Yes, mentor. Andrew smiled and replied, "I can see he's excited." ”

Pierre couldn't help but ask, "Mentor, do you really think that a kid who has been studying alchemy for less than half a year can help us in our development?"

"Oh, Pierre, don't underestimate the power of talent. Even alchemists don't need the talent to practice magic, but they do require even more wisdom. It can be seen that Hue Igler is a very smart little guy, and you can put pressure on such a person. True, his understanding of alchemy is still shallow, but knowledge is not the only thing about alchemy. The great Electra once said that the mere pursuit of knowledge itself disappoints the ability to create, and the result of this will only make you a great assistant, not a great discoverer. To be a good alchemist, knowledge is only the foundation we need, and creativity is the source of our ascension. ”

Speaking of this, Hines sighed: "I'm old. I believe that in my decades of endless exploration of alchemy, I have mastered all the relevant knowledge I can master, but I have not been able to reproduce the glory of Electra. I think Andrew was right, Purgatory Island needed fresh alchemist blood, and the work of developing the Troll God and the Demon Pattern also required a different kind of thinking. Look at what the kid did in the potion lab, and although I didn't pay much attention to the rare gadgets he invented, I saw something different in him. He has two of the most important tools for becoming a good alchemist - a strong intellectual curiosity and a habit of thinking that dares to break through all old ways. That's exactly what we don't have. ”

Pierre bowed his head respectfully to his mentor: "Great mentor, I think this is where I will never be able to reach you. I am amazed by your wisdom. ”

Regardless of their personalities, whether it is Hines or Pierre, their dedication to alchemy is truly fanatical and dedicated.

Through the crystal ball, Hines observes that Huy Gler has begun to study the notes, and that he seems to be very serious.

Hines nodded in satisfaction.

From this day on, Gong Hao fell into the study of flesh puppets in a state of madness.

Electra's notes are clearly an essay. The vast majority of the above records are some whims when his experiment failed.

From these caprices, it can be seen that Electra is a very active person. At the same time as he was developing the flesh puppet, he was also conducting research on dozens of alchemy techniques at the same time. Gong Hao was amazed by this research method, and he couldn't figure out how he did it.

Alchemy is a profound and vast science, and almost every sub-item can exhaust a person's life. Just as there are branches of physics and chemistry in science, and there are branches of advanced physics, mathematical physics, experimental physics, and so on, and there are countless branches under them, the same is true of alchemy, and each alchemy has its own huge knowledge, and just one of them can make people study for a lifetime.

Electra, on the other hand, his notes are filled with all sorts of alchemical essays.

It's just that these essays are not complete at all, and they are completely memorized wherever they come to mind.

They seem to be disorganized, maybe the previous sentence is still about the production of flesh golems, and the next sentence jumps directly to how the potion should be refined, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

Gong Hao seriously doubted whether Electra's notes were worth flipping through, but it would be very difficult for Electra himself to find what he had recorded after recording all this.

There are even thoughts about space magic, troll gods, etc., which means that as early as Electr's apprenticeship, he has already begun to prepare for research and exploration in this area.

According to Electra's notes, his motivation for creating the Troll God in the first place was simply that he needed some more powerful puppets to protect him, and that was not his interest in sweeping the world.

This is an out-and-out alchemy maniac, a madman even crazier than Hines, this is the only thing Gong Hao can be sure from his notes, but how to reproduce the real flesh puppet, Gong Hao has no clue at all.

The notes were too cluttered, too casual to be understood, and even then, they were only part of Andrew's excerpts, not all of them.

This made Gong Hao feel a deep headache.

However, from those essays, it can still be seen that Electra believes that a truly powerful puppet warrior should have wisdom. His original motivation for creating the Flesh Golem was to create a puppet assistant with intelligence.

In Electra's decades-long research career, no one has followed him. He was entirely a man who studied alchemy. And the reason for this is because Electra did succeed in inventing a puppet assistant with a certain level of intelligence, although the production technology of this assistant has been lost, and it is impossible to imagine how intelligent it is, but it can be seen that Electra's achievements shine with envy everywhere.

And the flesh puppet is just a by-product of his research on puppet assistants. At that time, he was still young and tried to embed a formed soul in an ordinary puppet warrior, using a prop called a soul orb as a carrier to complete the mission of imparting wisdom.

However, Electra later discovered that the soul that existed without life would eventually die out, just like ice dissolved in water, and even the Soul Orb could not stop this, so Electra later managed to finally retain a trace of soul memory for the ability to resonate with the magical elements, and gave up everything else, thus becoming a flesh golem. Through this transformation, he made it possible for the soul to remain in the soul bead for a long time.

What Hines and Andrew have been looking for is how Electra can use to make the soul resonate with the surrounding elements and use magic after living in the orb.

In the end, they chose the human with the highest intelligence intensity, and through large-scale abandonment and elimination, they barely retained that little bit of resonance.

This is where the current flesh puppets come from.

There is no doubt that this is a very complex and esoteric subject, and Gong Hao discovered that Hines was indeed a genius. The retention of the soul has always been the specialty of soul mages, but this aspect, like necromancy, is a taboo existence, and no one has ever dared to study it openly. Without knowing anything about soul spells, Hines was able to do this thanks to his extraordinary ability in alchemy, but it was still far from what Electra had done to create a flesh golem that could release three spells from the soul of an ordinary magical beast.

Hines is like a bad cook, who can only make the worst dishes out of the best things after exhausting his research, and Electra has the ability to make beautiful dishes even if he is given the worst ingredients.

The gap between the two is as big as the difference between Gong Hao and Hines today.

Gong Hao also shook his head at this.

In this case, it is entirely conceivable how difficult it would be to crack the mystery of Electra's flesh puppet making.

In the days that followed, Gong Hao studied day after day, almost sleeplessly pounced on the flesh puppet and the notebook.

Gong Hao, who used to take on more work, could make himself look calm, and for the first time, he began to be lacking in skills.

Time flies, and only when you devote yourself to your work will you find that time flies so quickly. In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

Compared to three months ago, Gong Hao was completely dejected to find that his research on flesh puppets had made no progress.

It wasted almost all of its precious time, but it didn't make him any progress in this area.

All possible ideas and practices have been tried, but none of them have passed. Gong Hao even began to wonder if Electra had finally completed the kind of flesh puppet he described in his notes. Could he have done it by some other means, such as a magic pattern?

However, history tells him that at that time, Electra had not yet invented the magic pattern, and Electra's notes clearly stated that the magic circle that could resonate with the elements of magic by carving it on the human body was only an idea at that time, and had not yet been put into action.

And the magic pattern obviously doesn't work for puppets either.

So how exactly did this damn genius do it?

He rubbed his face in pain.

"Gler. Walking into Gong Hao's laboratory, Andrew called him.

"Your Excellency. Gong Hao stood up.

"Still there's no progress, is there?"

"Yes, my lord, Electra is an extraordinary genius, and I can hardly imagine how he managed to do it. I don't have the slightest clue about my research on flesh golems. ”

Andrew smiled and patted Gong Hao on the shoulder: "The mentor and Pierre have been researching the flesh puppet for twenty years, and they can barely make a flesh puppet that can release a spell. You've been an apprentice for less than a year, and your understanding of alchemy is just beginning, so there's no need to be discouraged. Remember, the exploration of knowledge should be gradual, and don't think about climbing to the sky in one step. We will not rush you when it comes to the study of flesh golems, because we can see your efforts. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Well, after a hard day, go out and relax, rest for a few days and come back, maybe your mind that has been overused and caused by rigidity can be reactivated. ”

"Lord Andrew, my thinking is not rigid. Gong Hao smiled bitterly.

"Oh, have you begun to learn to contradict my words?" Andrew was unmoved.

Gong Hao smiled: "That's the expression of your love for me." ”

"Well said. Andrew laughed, he took Gong Hao's hand: "Come on kid, you are only thirteen years old, and you still have a lot of time to study." Now let's go to the harbor and take a look around, and maybe you'll find something good there. ”

"Go to the port?" Gong Hao was a little confused: "But today is not the day when the Liberty arrives. ”

"Oh, it's not just the Liberty that can come to Purgatory Island. I thought after last year's incident, you should understand this. Andrew winked at Gong Hao.

Gong Hao was stunned, and the image of a girl who had not appeared for a long time immediately appeared in front of him.

Could it be......

Andrew smiled strangely, and said, "Okay little one, why don't you hurry up and change your clothes, dress up in good spirits, and then get ready to go with me to pick up the boat." Our honored guest...... But only you can submit it. ”

"She's here for you, to find her lost friendship. He winked at him.
