After waking up

A few days later, in Alofa's laboratory, Mullan stared carefully at the crystals in the petri dish. They looked like thin ice flowers formed on the surface.

"Tick tock~tick tock~"

Mulan's index finger was suspended above the petri dish. Blood continued to flow from the fingertip and fell into the petri dish, and the crystal flower continued to extend.

At this time, Alofa walked into the laboratory from outside.

"Professor Jonest, haven't you ever gone to rest?"

"The results are about to come out. I can't sleep. As soon as I stop bleeding, the crystals will melt. Come on, let's try to stabilize the shape."

Alofa was extremely moved when he saw Mulan's spirit of showing up for alchemy. Without saying anything, he immediately went to his side and started preparing.

For a simple alchemical array, place the petri dish in the middle. With the input of Alofa's magic power, the light of the array converges from the edge to the middle.

"Use half of the crystal first, and pay attention to controlling the magic power."

"rest assured."

The exchange between the two people was brief, but very efficient. The crystal flowers on the liquid in the petri dish floated together and began to merge little by little.

After about five minutes, a diamond-shaped crystal-like substance the size of a rice grain appeared on the red solution. It was a success the first time.

Alofa and Mullan were very excited.

"Hard, but very light, with high light transmittance, and the key is, stable! We succeeded, Professor Jonest!"

"We succeeded, Professor Alofa!"

"Success!"

The two of them kept repeating this sentence, both in mental state and expression, they were very excited, and then when Matt came, this excited state happened again.

However, this phase of the work of the three of them was not over yet. Taking advantage of their privileges, they directly postponed the sixth issue of "Reality and Magic". They waited until their new phase results paper was completed before starting to publish the new magic journal.

Of course, the supplement also started printing at the same time, and especially the content of the recently received ironic submissions was written, combined with the results of the main issue, the slap in the face effect was even better.

After everything was done, the three of them dispersed with satisfaction. Alofa fell asleep directly at home, Matt also fell asleep after entering the house in a drowsy state, and Mulan actually went to a class, and then Go home and rest.

At the end of August, Dilga's summer heat continued, and the publication of the sixth issue of "Truth and Magic" undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of the supernatural world, especially the alchemy world.

Not just alchemists, but anyone who knows something about alchemy is all paying attention to this "war" in the magic journal. Although it seems that the supplementary journal is the battlefield for the debate, everyone knows that the decisive factor lies in the main journal. .

Gargoyle postmen are flying everywhere, and special sales points are receiving new goods. Even a person who does not understand alchemy, as long as he pays attention to the magic journal, cannot understand the biggest dispute during this period.

In Basman's small town, Hope, who had just sent away the gargoyle, stood at the door of his house and stared blankly at the contents of the journal.

"Spiritual Substantialization, is it really going to succeed?"

For those who understand alchemy, as long as they read the content of the article, they can think of the subsequent research process through the previous issue of the journal. The principle is actually similar to the magic crystal mine.

On a dark castle tower, a gargoyle postman landed. An old man with skinny fingers and sharp nails reached out to take off the mail package from the gargoyle. He watched the gargoyle fly away before taking out the sixth issue and supplement of "Truth and Magic".

As he read, the old man's body began to tremble slightly, and he pinched the journal with his sharp nails. If it were not a magic book, he must have pierced the ordinary book.

"It actually happened. It's impossible. I followed their experiments and used all kinds of materials and couldn't even cultivate the original solution! I should have deciphered all the key information they hid!"

"It's fake, it must be fake!"

The old man kept flipping through the paper, reading it word by word, sentence by line, and finally his eyes were fixed on a picture. It was a crystal clear crystal, the size of a grain of rice, suspended in the air, blooming with a faint brilliance.

As the gaze continued, a special mental picture that existed in the magic book was projected, and the voices of Mulan and Alofa even appeared faintly.

"Hold on, hold on Professor Jonst, the crystals are starting to aggregate!"

"Don't worry, it's under control. We need to control the crystals to gather one by one, each one, to prevent shock and rejection."

"That's right!"

"It's still a little bit close, it's a little bit close!"

As Alofa's voice fell, the rice-shaped crystals in the petri dish slowly floated up, and a special brilliance emitted. This was a brilliance that bloomed on the spiritual level. It was invisible to the naked eye, but could be felt by the spirit. This trait is also well represented in the grimoire.

The old man clutched the magic journal tightly.

"Pap~"

The supplement fell to the ground, and the sound brought the old man back to his senses. Then he subconsciously looked at the ground. The book happened to be opened, and a title read: Even in "Truth and Magic", there will be clowns who can publish articles.

At this moment, the old man actually felt extremely lucky. Fortunately, he had only written half of his insulting article. Fortunately, he hadn't submitted it yet. If I didn't submit, no one would know. No one would know that I didn't write it. I didn't. Writing this means that I am a supporter.

“Had I known it would work, or would I have tried to replicate the results?”

The old man suddenly became more excited. He picked up the book and rushed to his laboratory. The first thing he did was to destroy all the "evidence". It was all a dream. Then he wrote an article and submitted it, helping the three professors to scold and scold them. Being ruthless is not enough to express his enthusiastic support!

In various countries and regions, from white towers to strange and eerie castles, from ocean islands to bustling cities, new issues of magic journals and supplements have been delivered to their destinations one after another, and countless people were born under their own emotions. Got the idea to contribute.

Some people have discovered that although most of the glory of the sixth issue of "Truth and Magic" lies in the spiritual crystal, there are still some shining contents that have not been obscured by the previous articles, including an anonymously submitted "The Origin of Magic" , is extremely brilliantly written. If the series of essays on spiritual weapons hadn't been too dazzling, "The Origin of Magic" might have the strength to become the first one.

During this period, Alofa and Matt were living extremely comfortably. Especially Alofa, he taught students much more frequently. Many students even privately believed that Professor Alofa’s classes were lively and lively. I have learned a lot, and I am a little easier to get along with than before.

Subtle changes like this can be seen everywhere in the Black Castle, and the teaching enthusiasm of all professors is slowly increasing. Many professors have published articles in "Reality and Magic" with the help of their students, although there are quite a few. The factors are the geographical advantage and the time advantage in previous periods, but it is already good to show up.

However, there is one person in the Black Castle who has something on her mind during this time, and that is Sabastina, who has surrendered to Mulan.

It has been a long time since Sabastina said a word to the apostle. Sometimes, even if she did meet him, she would at most say hello in a polite way. But Mulan showed that she did not want to say more, so she immediately retreated and did not dare to pester him. .

But this state made Sabastina uneasy. The apostle had obviously made big moves some time ago, and even the Crow Cult appeared, but now even the crows didn't come to her. Could it be that the apostle felt that she was not loyal enough.

Sabastina had a hint of fear in her heart, and even some self-doubt. She did express her loyalty to the apostle, but it must have been motivated by personal gain and the satisfaction of personal achievement. Did she arouse the apostle's resentment?

Sabastina is a little absent-minded in class now.

"The methods to fight against illusions and mental interference are the above. Combining them can help you fight against many emergencies. Next time we will find a place for real-life confrontation. Your graduated senior sister Jenny has built a simulated secret realm of the Black Castle. Well, get out of class is over."

Seeing the interest in the students' response, Sabastina took her books and walked out of the classroom. The dozens of students inside only dared to communicate excitedly in low voices.

But when Sabastina walked outside, she saw Mulan waiting there.

"Professor Sabastina."

"Professor Jonest!"

"I have something to ask you. If it's convenient, I can lend you a step."

"convenient."

Sabastina followed Mulan away with some fear.

Of course Mulan didn't know what Sabastina's inner suspicions were, but he could feel that Sabastina was still in awe of him, and that was enough.

"Have you read the new issue of "Truth and Magic"?"

"I have already read it. The papers written by you and the other two professors are very brilliant."

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at Sabastina's tree house. In relative safety, Mulan asked his question directly.

"As a thief, you should be extremely good at 'weak point attack' techniques. I hope you use a special weapon to break through some extremely solid objects."

"What weapon, what object, is it meant to kill someone?"

Mulan shook his head and slipped a crystal clear dagger from his sleeve.

The moment she saw the dagger, there was obviously no light, but Sabastina subconsciously covered her face.

The papers in the magic journal are still in the stage of publishing content, but Mulan only used that little crystal to actively "grow" a dagger with his own blood, and infused it with the power of dawn with his own will.

"Use it. As for what to attack, you will know soon. In the recent period, I hope you will recharge your batteries and not waste your energy and magic power easily."

"As you command, my lord!"

Sabastina's heartbeat accelerated slightly. This turned out to be a spiritual weapon. This purity and powerful and restrained sense of oppression were simply more terrifying than the one in the paper. However, she did not feel threatened, as if she had been stabbed. He won't be seriously injured.

Then Sabastina instantly thought of a possibility, that is, targeting. This kind of weapon is highly targeted and was only born for a certain purpose.
