Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 23: Teacher
"Are you awake?"
Su Lun opened her eyes and a soft female voice asked.
This is an alchemy workshop with a very high floor, about seven or eight meters.
The decoration in the house has a rich classical style, a golden aristocratic elegance, and a mysterious style unique to the alchemy workshop.
A variety of classical magic lamps hang in the air, with round, square, and rhombus-shaped lights illuminating the room.
On one wall of this room are bookshelves, densely packed with various alchemy classics.
Those glass jars filled with light yellow liquid contained various biological materials, including eyeballs, brains, and organs. Most of them did not look like human body tissue.
On the alchemy workbench, there are all kinds of bottles and materials everywhere.
The test tubes of various colors of medicines are neatly placed on the shelf. In the beaker heated by a purple flame, the viscous green liquid is boiling and bubbling, and a faint medicinal fragrance overflows in the air.
A woman wearing a white palace dress is immersed in tinkering with the potion.
The most eye-catching thing is naturally the eight crystal clear spider spears on her back.
Different from the dark gold spider spear on Su Lun's body, her spider spear gives people a feeling of returning to nature, without feeling ferocious at all, but if you look closely, you will feel that there are all kinds of mysterious and fascinating things flowing on it. The luster of the runes cannot be seen directly.
The spider spear is like her arm, flexibly and accurately taking out various medicine test tubes from the shelf. She doesn’t even need to measure them accurately, she just drops a few drops, fills in two spoons of powder, and adds a few solid particles
Just by looking at the refining technique, Su Lun knew that this was a very advanced potion.
In his current understanding, the process of refining medicine, which involves the simultaneous reaction of eight materials, is something that even the "master" pharmacists in Old Town cannot accomplish.
Su Lun has been to this [Auroville Central Prison] eight times, but this is the first time he has entered this room.
However, this is not the first time I have seen this elegant woman with eight-armed spider spear in front of me.
She is naturally the target of Su Lun's trip, the founder of the Puppet Master profession, the wife of Sir Isaac, and the mother of Pestoya, Lady Seraya.
"Hello, Mrs. Seria."
Su Lun responded.
He woke up, but found that he couldn't move except for his eyeballs.
My whole body has lost consciousness.
He quickly recalled the previous battle in his mind, and he understood that most of the muscles and body tissues had collapsed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the runes of the alchemy formation on the floor where he was lying. The identification showed that this was a sixth-level life alchemy formation.
Mrs. Seria seemed to have calculated the time correctly. Just at this time, the last material was put into the beaker, and a magical reaction happened. The viscous green liquid gradually became clear and turned into a qualified potion.
She walked towards where Su Lun was lying and poured the potion into the alchemy array.
For a time, the green light flourished.
Su Lun immediately felt the majestic vitality entering his body.
Like withered trees regaining life, the broken muscle fibers and various failing organs have also been restored with exaggerated efficiency.
While pouring the potion, Seria said: "Your brain development is good, it has increased by about 5%. This is already very rare."
After a pause, she added: "Your talent is very good. It is indeed a suitable profession for a 'Puppet Master'."
After hearing this, Su Lun felt relieved and said: "Everything is thanks to your teaching of the secret technique, Madam"
This growth is also expected.
The average person's brain development rate is 2% to 8%. Most of Su Lun's top scientists in his previous life only used about 12%.
This data will increase slightly through some acquired training and learning, but generally the lifetime improvement will not exceed 2%.
Su Lun is now about 16%. Don’t underestimate this data improvement. In some aspects, it is the difference between 59 points and 60 points in the exam.
The knowledgeable Mr. Hei, who specifically searched for advanced materials, only got about 18%.
"Yes. This secret method does seem to have come from my own hands. After all, no one else knows about it except me."
Seria's face always gives people a gentle and wise feeling.
It was like looking at Mr. Hei, with a kind of confusion brought by erudition, as if there were no secrets in the world that could be hidden from her.
She glanced at Su Lun: "Now, you can tell me what happened to the letter you gave me before. Also, your purpose of coming."
Su Lun said directly: "Did you know that the current central prison has become a 'cursed space'? My name is Su Lun, and I came in a thousand years later"
As he spoke, he stated his purpose in a concise and concise manner.
When he entered the cursed space before, he took a moment and handed the lady a letter written by herself to "herself".
This was what he got after communicating and gaining trust when he came in before.
The plan was to try the secret method that Madam Seria told him personally that could improve brain development.
Don't dare to try it in other places. No one controls the boundaries. If you completely let go of the suppressed emotions in your mind, Su Lun will definitely die.
This Lady Seria is very intelligent.
In other cursed spaces, if Su Lun had said these words, the NPCs would have selectively ignored them.
It's like someone traveled through time and space. He took the note with your handwriting and told you that it was written by you in a parallel world. You have to believe me.
It would definitely be difficult for a normal person to accept this.
But Seria’s remnant easily figured it out and accepted the reality.
Like many times before.
She murmured to herself: "So I am already dead"
Hearing this, Su Lun felt a strange feeling in his heart again, as if he was seeing a living person in front of him.
It is simply impossible for the NPC to realize that he has died and is cursing the space NPC.
Su Lun previously thought that she was the same kind of special being as Pestoya.
But she said herself, she is not.
She is still a sad NPC that curses the space.
Like several times before, Su Lun asked again: "Can you recognize that you are dead?"
He wanted to hear if he could get any different results.
Mrs. Seria did not show any abnormal emotions because she realized that she was dead: "In fact, it is not difficult to understand. When you are alive, you have foreseen the death ending that is destined in this fate. Many Things can be understood. Your coming here means that the disaster has happened."
Su Lun fell into deep thought as he listened.
He has heard the same words three times.
But I still don’t understand it.
Seraya easily believed Suellen, smiled, and went directly to the topic: "You came today because you probably have something to ask me for. For example, what token should you give me? What do you need me to refine? ?"
"Well, yes."
After saying these words, Su Lun found that his body was ready for use.
He opened his storage space and took out the golden card and the sealed box.
Seeing this ability, Ceria raised her eyebrows and said: "Space ability? It is indeed suitable for puppet masters. However, the level of laws you understand is too low, and it is easy to be targeted by law means when encountering high-level professionals in space. ."
""
Hearing this, Su Lun looked slightly strange.
He wanted to say in his heart that this is no longer the Dawn City where demigods existed a thousand years ago.
The strongest professional in Jiulingdun is currently at level three, which is the level of the chief warden on the first floor of this prison.
At least Su Lun hasn't met the "high-level" she mentioned yet.
Seria took out the golden card and looked at it. It seemed that she had used some special encryption method to read the content on the card, and her eyes became complicated.
As if seeing something and missing someone, when she saw the card, there was a touch of tenderness and melancholy in her eyes.
After pondering for a long time, she murmured to herself: "So that's how it is"
As he spoke, Seria formed a magic seal and shouted softly: "Relieve!"
The runes engraved on the rune secret box suddenly lit up, and the layers of golden seal formations lit up. They are like chains, wrapping the secret box tightly. This unsealing technique was broken down layer by layer.
Su Lun had taken out this box several times before he came in.
But none of them are opened.
Seria said that once it is opened, this cursed space will cease to exist.
The two major families were trapped and killed, and the "forensic doctor" Servis Gerald was also dead.
Su Lun's brain development has also been completed, and now the goal has been achieved.
Of course the last step has to be taken.
He had previously identified the runes on this box, which showed "super", and he also knew that they were at least six-level runes.
Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
But if you look closely, they are not the same.
The runes he recognized were flat, but the runes that lit up on the secret box had an out-of-body structure.
Looking at Ceria's relaxed expression, I thought there was nothing to disturb her.
He asked directly: "Madam, what kind of rune is this? Why does it feel different from ordinary runes?"
Seria explained smoothly: "This is the 'Rune Rune', also called the Alchemy Talisman. It is roughly equivalent to the 'esoteric meaning' in the spell. This is the rune system created by the alchemists in the mythical period. Later, after countless alchemists perfected it, it became a huge knowledge system. It is a system, but also a way of thinking. It puts aside the old-fashioned rune routines and studies the variations and extensions of runes. It is very complex and difficult to study. It will also double. But after thorough research, the power is several times that of the same level, and there are some unexpected effects."
Su Lun also understood.
The difference between Mathematical Olympiad and ordinary textbooks.
They are all questions from the same grade level, and the difficulty level cannot be the same.
The most critical thing is not the rune itself, but the direction of divergent thinking.
Su Lun was a little jealous when he heard this: "Madam, are there any requirements for learning runes?"
He has harvested so many fragments of such a powerful rune, yet he has never even heard of it.
If you really learn it, the effectiveness of third-level runes may be as powerful as ordinary fourth-level runes, which will be of great use!
The third level of puppets, weapons, and armors have the fourth level of effects. Isn’t this power as powerful as the heavens?
This is the true meaning of the saying "knowledge is power".
Seria seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and Wan'er smiled: "This is generally advanced rune knowledge that can only be accessed by extremely talented professionals. There are several introductory books on the third row of the bookshelf. If you If you are interested, you can take a look. Your brain is highly developed, and it will be easier than others to understand that level of knowledge."
Su Lun felt happy when he heard this.
In a sense, "learning talent" is equated with brain development.
Speaking of this, Ceria suddenly thought of something, and said: "Speaking of which, this rune has some connection with your [Eye of Omniscient] talent."
When Su Lun heard this, his eyes were stunned: Is it related to his talent?
Seraya asked: "Are you confused, why can you understand those items you don't know after you awaken the [Eye of Omniscient]? Where does the knowledge required for cognition come from?"
Su Lun didn't think that his dual talents could be hidden from this person.
Moreover, this is indeed a question he is confused about.
This is not a game world, but a real world. Where does the "database" come from?
Without waiting for him to think too much, Seria explained: "'Rune' in the ancient Niedese language means secret and mystery, and it represents the 'secret of the universe'. [The Eye of Omniscient] There was another one in the mythological period The name is 'Akashic Records'. You may be unfamiliar with this term, but it also has a name that everyone in the alchemy academic community knows, called 'primordial matter'. It is the original substance that created all the universe. It contains All the secrets in the world, past, present, future and so on."
Su Lun frowned when he heard this.
Suddenly I realized that I had heard very high-end knowledge.
If he had done it before, he felt that he would definitely not be able to understand it.
But now that his brain has developed, he vaguely felt that he had touched something.
Seraya glanced at Su Lun and said, "Have you encountered something you can't understand? For example, what's in this box?"
As she spoke, she took out the contents of the rune secret box, which was a heart in a glass jar.
A black-gold, still beating heart!
Su Lun was not surprised to see this thing, after all, he had already guessed it before.
To be able to extract "X serum", it must be a biological limb or some kind of organ.
Although he didn't expect that this heart was actually alive.
After identification, what was shown above was expected: the heart of an abyss creature ***.
He asked: "Why?"
Seria said: "[The Eye of Omniscient] can see through all the secrets in the world. You can't see it now. One is that the level of your talent awakening is still too shallow. Some are invisible and some are visible. But you can’t understand it. The second reason is that it’s protecting you.”
After a moment's pause, she pointed to the heart in the glass jar and asked, "Do you know what kind of heart this is?"
Su Lun had already made a guess and asked tentatively: "The legendary 'divine level'?"
"Yeah."
Seria nodded and confirmed this statement: "This is the heart of a god-level creature. The message of 'god' is not just a few words, but contains laws that are indescribable to humans. The level of God's laws is not coveted by low-level creatures at all. Your omniscient eye directly sees that level of laws, but because your cognitive level is too low, it cannot protect you. If you forcibly pour that high-level knowledge into In your mind, your spirit will collapse immediately."
She showed a wise smile and said: "If I say that this heart is the heart of a 'fallen angel', will you take another look?"
Su Lun looked again, and sure enough, the words "Heart of a Fallen Angel" appeared in the appraisal.
Seria's words "defined" the incomprehensible law and expressed it in a way that he could understand.
But at the same time, Su Lun was also shocked.
Angel?
A **** with wings?
Do myths and legends exist?
No wonder people become more beautiful after being injected with "X serum". It turns out that the genes come from angels.
Su Lun thought of something and asked: "Madam, is the source of awakening talent the blood?"
"Yes, not entirely. There is a legend circulating in the market that human beings are all descendants of gods. Bloodline inheritance is part of the laws and powers of ancient gods inherited, such as those of earth, wind, water, and fire. Elemental talent, but actually this is an inaccurate statement."
Seria's eyebrows slightly curved and she corrected the statement, "Bloodline is just one of the carriers. For example, your [Death Reaper] talent, its carrier is the soul. In fact, the essence of the talent is still God is just the beneficiary of the 'original thing' of the universe."
""
Sure enough, she knew that she was dual-talented.
Now that the topic was brought up, Su Lun simply asked all the questions: "Is there any difference between S-level talents and other talents?"
Seria responded: "S-level talents represent the supreme laws of the universe. Your [Death Reaper] represents the 'Law of Death', and [Eye of Omniscient] represents the 'Law of Wisdom' Legend has it that if we alchemists want to become gods, understanding these laws is the only way."
Her tone when she said this suddenly became very serious: "The essence of alchemy is to understand and decipher the truth of this world. We alchemists have been pursuing this truth throughout our lives. From material structure to understanding of laws. , from simple to complex. Only when you master it can you truly create the alchemy of equivalent exchange as you wish. Therefore, an alchemist must be knowledgeable. You already have the qualifications to become a top alchemist and to spy on the ultimate secrets of this world."
Speaking of this, Ceria suddenly said: "Although I am dead, I want to accept you as a disciple."
Hearing this, Su Lun endured the stinging pain all over his body and stood up expressionlessly.
He bowed and saluted,
He said calmly and solemnly: "Teacher."
PS. There won’t be many updates recently, and they may be irregular. I also discovered that I had entered into some writing misunderstandings, let me think about it carefully. If the writing fails, there is no point in adding more.
