Chapter 234 Devil, the real devil! (5,900 words in the second update)
It was another Friday of the week, and after having breakfast in their respective rooms, the arcanists rushed to the hall one after another. According to His Excellency Lavindi, the results of the experiment today or tomorrow will be obtained, which makes the arcanists who have been curious for a whole week not interested.
Although for these seven days, in addition to sleeping and meditating, they had been observing the experimental device through the naked eye, mental power, and the magical imprints they left behind, but the pure water simulating the primordial ocean evaporated normally every day, and the ordinary mixed gas was struck by lightning, and the ordinary condensation turned into water droplets back to the glass bottle, without the slightest sign of mystery and eerieness, as if it were a natural scene that would be ignored by everyone.
"What will be the result? Honestly, I've been curious for a long time and can't wait for the reveal." A pale-handed necromancer, after reconstructing his meditation environment with initial results, was very relaxed and excited to discuss with his companions the experiment that had plagued everyone for seven days.
A female necromancer with two slender golden eyebrows pursed her lips: "Jason, in fact, I don't believe at all that such a simple experiment can produce any strange and important substances, it's just that the high temperature evaporation and lightning and thunder are too simple, the natural environment is a thousand times more complex than this, ten thousand times more complex, and the factors and ingredients that need to be considered are so complex that they can blow your head! Otherwise, the great arcanists such as Your Excellency the Revenant Lord would have started simulating the primitive natural environment long ago!"
"Lily, I think so too. Hehe, looking at this experimental device from time to time in the past few days, I always feel that there is electric light shining in my eyes, as if it occupies my entire brain, even when facing the sunset, what appears in front of me is still crackling lightning." Jason said to Lily humorously, but this sentence was not an exaggeration, many arcanists had left a deep impression in their pupils and brains because they had been exposed to the electrical discharge experimental device for a long time.
Lily rubbed her eyes: "It's just a temporary effect, it will also appear when I stare at other things."
The two were chatting happily when they suddenly saw a familiar magician friend walking over, with gray hair, deep wrinkles, and soft blue eyes, quiet and peaceful.
"Jason, Lily, good morning." The old mage greeted him kindly.
Jason smiled and said, "Good morning, Fern, is there something wrong?" Lily nodded beside him.
The old mage Fern said earnestly: "Dear Ms. Lily, can you change seats with me, I would like to discuss the theory of human life mechanics with Jason."
"Why? What is there to discuss about the theory of human life mechanics? Isn't it already overthrown?" Lily was puzzled and reluctant to go among a group of magicians who were good at the elements.
The old mage Fern said with a serious face: "Actually, I don't think so, can you deny the existence of life force and soul?"
"Of course, this is the foundation of the entire necromancer magic, and if we deny them, it would completely deny the value of necromancer magic and our own existence." Jason replied without hesitation, "What has been overturned is only the 'human body' theory of vitality, which does not involve souls and other life forms, so that the direction of refining the human body with living people, corpses, etc. for many years has been corrected, and other theories of the necromancy system about the soul have not wavered in the slightest."
In the common view of the necromancer in the past, humans, elves, and dragons with physical bodies were superior to other elemental creatures and alchemical life, because they only showed the life force of the soul and lacked the cooperation of physical life force.
The old mage Fern shook his head: "At present, what is synthesized is only the ordinary components of the human body, and there is still a long way to go from the life cornerstones that contain the mysteries of the body. You see that the structure of the human body is so wonderful, and their detailed composition is full of mystery, shock and unfathomable flavor. Do you think you have solved all the mysteries of the human body? If that's the case, then you don't need a life box, no horcrux, no need to separate your soul, and you don't need to change your body, you can get eternal life!"
"Oh, the mystery is above, Fern, your insistence and views on the theory of human life mechanics exceed mine, enough to compare with the stubbornness of those old guys." Lily rubbed her forehead with some confusion, "I believe that there are countless mysteries in the human body, but I also believe in Felipe's experimental results, I need to be quiet, you can talk to Jason."
Mystery is a common sentence pattern used by magicians to express amazement or politeness.
Lily stood up, walked to the camp of the elemental mages opposite, and sat there quietly, thinking for a long time before coming to her own conclusion: "First affirm that the old theory of human life mechanics is wrong, but the mysteries of the human body exist objectively and need to be explored. We must have an open attitude towards this, which is the most correct attitude towards a new magical theory!"
The old mage Fern walked to Lily's place and sat down, looking at Felipe three rows away diagonally in front of him, his eyes were cold, and he was discussing the theory of human life mechanics with Jason.
Today or tomorrow is the last day, and he can only sacrifice himself for the glory of the Lord, but Lily, who is the best necromancer he knows, is also quite far from Felipe, and cannot be enough to kill Nikolai with one blow.
"May the gates of Mount Heaven be open for me." The old mage Fern silently drew the cross in his heart.
…………
It didn't take long for Felipe, Lucian and other arcanists to arrive, and it was Larry who took the stage to explain and demonstrate the magic experiment.
Larry's chubby round face had a hint of excitement, and he said in a slightly high-pitched voice: "During this time, when discussing the questions raised by Evans, we found that the concentration of the solution has a wonderful relationship with electrical conductivity. So I thought, what if it wasn't a solution? What if it is pure water that does not contain any other dissolved substances? What will be its conductivity?"
Even if they could easily make pure water with oxygen and hydrogen, they felt from Larry's tone that the result might not be as they imagined.
When electric sparks appeared, but the magic circle that sensed the current at the bottom of the pure water did not respond, each magician's expression became quite strange, and common sense was once again subverted, fortunately, it was not the main doctrine of building one's own meditation environment.
When the bubbles emerged one by one, Larry ended the experiment: "It can be seen that pure water is not conductive until it is completely electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen, so we can think that an alchemical substance has undergone a wonderful change after dissolving in water. As for what the changes are, I haven't come to a conclusion yet, so let's take a look at the new four-ring magic 'Larry's Water Elemental Shield' that I constructed based on this principle, which can effectively resist the attack of 'Lightning' water-based magic."
Then Larry began to talk about the construction principle of this four-ring magic, the mapping model, etc., although he hid the key core model, but most arcanists still listened very carefully.
The old mage Furn seemed to have difficulty concentrating, paying attention to which attendants were called in from time to time to provide hot water, tea, hot towels and other items.
"Mr. Arcanist, what do you need?" The magic apprentice walked over quickly and silently, his attitude was extremely respectful, every arcanist in it was at least mid-level!
Fern nodded kindly: "Child, give me a cup of black tea with lemon slices, I need to stimulate my spirits."
Every arcanist could make such a request, and Jason next to him had no doubts, listening intently to Larry's talk about the water-based magic shield. Because light is electromagnetic waves, they are all positive energy, so lightning barely belongs to this category, very restrained necromancer magic, Jason will naturally not miss the opportunity to learn Larry's new magic.
"Okay, Mr. Arcanist, please wait a moment." The magic apprentice took a few steps back and headed for the door.
At this time, Nikolai took two steps forward riskly, passing a waiter, who happened to be standing at the front.
"You, go pour a cup of black tea and send it to that Mr. Arcanist." How could the magic apprentice care about the order of the attendants, naturally ordering Nikolai who was standing first, while the waiter behind him was inexplicable, did he want to please the old magician to be accepted as an apprentice? Wake up, if you have spiritual power and arcane talent, you have been recruited into a magic school long ago, and if you can be lazy when you work, you will be lazy!
Going to the small room in the corner of the hall next to him to pour a cup of tea, Nikolai tried to calm his nervousness: "The Lord is watching me, this is my most glorious moment, I will enter the heavenly mountain!"
His devout faith helped him calm down, and he walked steadily to the row of the old mage Fern step by step, then passed through several people in the horizontal row and came to him, respectfully putting down the white-glazed porcelain teacup.
"Dear Arcanist, you have added black tea with lemon slices." Nikolai slowly put down the teacup as if he didn't know the old mage Fern.
On the other side, a mid-level arcanist in the four rows behind Lucian also beckoned for a glass of white water.
Seeing the position reluctantly, Valent gritted his teeth and made up his mind, regardless of exposure, and also rushed forward to accept the task. If the timing was right, when Nikolai killed Felipe with the copy of the Sword of Truth, he still had a fleeting opportunity to kill Lucian Evans, after all, his magic level was only two rings, and he couldn't think of anyone doing anything to him at such a time.
Nikolai put down his teacup and slowly turned around, looking at Felipe's back in the three rows diagonally ahead, the distance of seven or eight steps was like the road to Paradise Mountain, so far away, so long and so yearning.
"Although it is only a copy of the Sword of Truth, it is also equivalent to a level nine divine magic item, and I have to pay a great price to cast it, and it cannot fully activate its power. At the same time, this is a sword, not a talisman that can release magic remotely, and only by slashing Felipe at close range can the perfect effect be achieved."
"At this distance, someone must attract his attention so that I can get close to the attack distance before he reacts."
Nikolai walked slowly down the aisle, calculating the distance, if the old mage Fern hadn't created an event that could attract Felipe's attention before he stepped down the aisle, he would have to make a desperate gamble and quickly pass through the gap between positions without leaving any hope, even if he died together, he would have to clear Felipe.
Valente held the white water on the small horizontal board in front of the arcanist, also calculating the distance to Lucian, but he would not make any attack until he killed Felipe, even if he missed the opportunity.
Just as the old mage Fern took a deep breath and was about to draw everyone's attention to himself, suddenly an arcanist in front of him said sharply from low to high: "Experimental device, experimental device! There has been a change!"
All the magicians' eyes were fixed on the experimental device, and even Larry, who was explaining the construction process, looked curiously at the glass bottle next to him simulating the natural environment.
I saw that in the bottom layer of the glass bottle in the lower right corner and the sampling port in the middle of the conduit for the reflux condensate liquid, the transparent pure water showed a faint red color, and it seemed that a strange substance had appeared!
"What kind of substance could it be?!"
"What the hell is it?!"
One question after another was found from the arcanists, and the arcanists in the front rows even stood up, wanting to know the results of the experiment quickly.
The arcanists who got up blocked Nikolai's view and temporarily interrupted his movements, but he was extremely happy because the scene became agitated and chaotic, and he had enough time and opportunity to clear Felipe.
And Nikolai, who had witnessed this experiment from the beginning, also subconsciously looked at the experimental device at this time, it was really strange, several simple gases, common lightning thunder and volcanic high temperatures, could give birth to a reddish substance, what is it?
Lavendi in the front row flew directly onto the platform, dismantled the layers of magic circles, then took out the reddish substance, and stimulated the appraisal of the magic circle to identify what it was.
Since Ravendi took out more than just one copy, there were a total of seven experimental vessels, so the arcanists below released their identification techniques one after another, including Felipe.
Except for magical items with certain information, the magic of identification can only identify known substances, but the arcanists have forgotten this at this time, subconsciously thinking that this is the part of the substance that the Magic Council has explored—they have perfected their identification techniques based on this.
Seeing Felipe with his back to him releasing magic from the gap between the arcanists who got up one by one, Nikolai knew that this was an opportunity that would never appear again if he missed it, and held down the talisman that concealed his divine aura and power with one hand, and held the replica of the Sword of Truth hidden in the long clothes with the other, and took a firm step into the narrow gap between the two positions.
Then he drilled forward without the slightest hesitation, completely ignoring the arcanists around him, and took quick action to clear Felipe before they could react!
One step, two steps, three steps, in just one second, Nikolai shortened a large distance between him and Felipe, and Valente on the other side began to slowly move closer to Lucian and kept paying attention to the situation here.
Four steps, five steps, "only one step away!"
Nikolai tore off the talisman with one hand, regained his strength, took out a copy of the "Sword of Truth" with the other, and was about to take a step forward and slash at Felipe's head.
Suddenly, at this time, a magician shouted in a high-pitched tone like a nightmare: "There is a winter primordial substance, a life primordial substance separated from asparagus! Oh, the mystery is above, what did I identify?!"
"Oh! There are several other life sources, although there are two that have never been separated before, but according to the comparison of the identification technique, they are indeed part of the cornerstone of life!" In another position, the tone of a level five arcanist was like seeing a real god.
"And lipids, sugars......" Pesol and Tina Dimos muttered to themselves. After getting the appraisal results, they couldn't help but stand up, although they were magicians and not believers, they still wanted to say something, this was simply a miracle!
A simple experimental design, a completely common and ordinary lightning and volcanic environment, some of the most ordinary gases, a pure water that simulates the ocean and floods, actually generated a life source that is very important to humans and elves.
The expression on Felipe's gloomy face was almost frozen, this, is this entering the realm of God?! Which arcanist designed this, is it a professor?!
In an environment that purely simulates primitive nature without any divine intervention and without much magical interference, several important living substances naturally appear, and every wise magician understands what they mean.
Although this cannot deny that the God of truth can create life, it is enough to shake the "God of Life Gift Theory" that "only" the true God can create life.
The arcanists' exclamations reached his ears unstoppably, and Nikolai failed to take the step forward, subconsciously looking up at the experimental device.
The tree-shaped symbols symbolizing the life source on the identification magic circle around it emitted a clear light, it was so pure and so dazzling.
"Life Source Essence?! Asparagus source? ! How is this possible! This is God's forbidden area!"
Nicola seemed to have forgotten that he was going to assassinate Felipe, and everything he had witnessed in the past few days flashed back in his mind.
Simulating the high temperature and methane gas of volcanic eruptions, simulating the electric sparks of lightning and thunder, simulating the pure water of the ocean, and simulating the hydrogen gas of the main gas, etc. emerged one by one.
For the first time, Nikolai hated himself for learning knowledge based on arcane transformation in the church, and why he hated why he knew the essence of life and its significance.
"Can life be born in the natural environment? Is God's authority just shared?"
"How can the omniscient and omnipotent, the Lord of all be one, not unique, dominating all people and all things in a realm that cannot be touched?"
"Isn't it only the Lord who can give life?"
"Does the Lord exist, does the Heaven Mountain exist, will I become a soul enslaved by magicians or ascend to heaven after I die?"
"The devil, the real devil! It makes me doubt the Lord!"
Strong doubts instantly shook Nikolai's foundation of faith, and the power of divine magic synchronized with his faith began to spiral out of control, and he soon realized his problem and subconsciously prayed and repented.
It's okay not to pray, but as soon as you pray, the magic power is completely out of control, and it suddenly bursts out, devouring everything from the inside out of the body, as if it is an extremely beautiful light.
At the same time, Valent, who was still some distance away from Lucian, was also swallowed by the holy light that suddenly lit up.
"What a beautiful light......"
"What a dreamy fireworks ......"
The shocked arcanists were stunned to see these two rays of light emerge and turn into little rays of light and fall down.
On the other side, the old mage Fern sat on the chair as if he were dead, then closed his eyes, and with a bang, his head exploded, and a light similar to Nikolai and Valente flashed, but with scarlet blood and white flowers, the brain juice slowly fell like raindrops.
The arcanists, who didn't know what was going on, thought that some necromancers could not accept this experiment and the cognitive world completely collapsed, and at the same time, they subconsciously entered the meditation environment to try to stabilize their mental power so as not to hurt their souls.
Therefore, when they see the scene of "fireworks" and blood blooming, it seems that there is still the shining electric light that they often see in recent days. Several complemented each other, causing an idea to emerge in their hearts at the same time:
"Crazy! Crazy!"
…………
"These two experimental materials confirm the impact of this experiment on the clergy of the Church." Hathaway's silver-gray eyes looked at the two auroras, and said without any emotion.
From the beginning, they couldn't hide it from the great arcanists, and even the method that the old mage Fern thought of was the memory woven directly in his mind by the Revenant Lord.
Valenhill and Bahá'u'lláh did not expect the appearance of the Great Arcanist on such an occasion.
