Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1007 989. Academic Letter Exchange

It is true to say that Kalkstein's "Making Inanimate Matter Move" was helpful to Lan.

When Lan was building his version of [Inner Steel], he used the knowledge in this book to build his own knowledge framework about golems and magic-driven substances.

In the end, they succeeded in building a version of the [Inner Steel] that was no less powerful than the super organ possessed by the Primaris Space Marines, and even more powerful.

After all, the Nergigante's bone powder only gave Valyrian steel the regenerative and strong properties, but there was no way to dictate where these regenerated and spreading steel wire cables would grow.

This part of the control theory of steel wire cables was constructed by Lan En and Mentos after tinkering with the golem theory.

Treat these steel wire cables as golems, allowing them to receive orders and grow rigidly and strictly according to the orders.

Among the stories about golems, there is a quite famous one that Lan heard at Aretuza's 'Magical Security and Hygiene' lecture.

'A forgetful mage created a golem, made it move by casting Alzu's Thunder, and then immersed himself in the esoteric tomes after making a request to bring me water. The golem never stopped, and in the end, not only the mage's house, but also the entire city turned into a swamp. ’

Use the method of commanding the golem to command the steel wire cable extended from the [Tendin Coil].

With the cooperation of Mentos' computing power, if Lan En's commands are refreshed quickly and meticulously enough, they will cover every wire cable in the body.

Then he can even use the [Tendon Coil] to keep himself mobile even in extreme situations where his bones are completely broken and his muscles are torn.

It is equivalent to a built-in smart skeleton.

Therefore, Kalkstein's theory was of great help to Lan En.

But at this moment, Kalkstein, who met Lan En, seemed even more excited.

"Your theory of cell differentiation and division has brought our understanding of cells to a new level! Can you imagine how I felt when I saw your paper? Oh my god"

Kalkstein actually seemed to be dancing a little while he was talking.

His excitement was palpable.

Lan En has always been repulsive and wary of his 'fame' after the Battle of Sodden Mountain.

So much so that he wears a hood and cloak for a long time when walking outside and avoids being exposed.

But Kalkstan behaved differently.

He fully demonstrated his academic level in his speech, as well as his understanding of the theories that Lan En had previously proposed.

So this is not the excitement generated by 'meeting a famous person', but the excitement generated by academic discussants after meeting the proprietor of a certain theory.

Shani, who was originally standing at the door, looking like she was about to see off the guests, suddenly opened her wonderful eyes after hearing the alchemy master's exclamation.

She completely left the few people standing at the door ready to go out in place.

In the narrow and cramped room, he squeezed his way between Geralt and Dandelion.

"Is it Master Lan En? The Duke of Cintra?"

Female students who had just entered college shouted while squeezing.

She looks much more eager now than before.

After all, according to Dandelion, she only studied with a master alchemist in order to make progress in medicine.

Now, regardless of whether they are warlocks or ordinary people, in the entire academic circle, it is estimated that there are few people who have explored the field of combining alchemy and human body structure deeper than Lan En.

To her, Lan En was considered a 'professional counterpart' and a mentor-level scholar.

But when Shani squeezed over, Lan En had already put down his hood again, and just made a sound in the shadow under the hood to talk to them.

Dandelion and Geralt looked at each other. One of them had a degree in liberal arts, and the other had never even attended a serious school.

I have never seen people from the science field engage in academic discussions.

But out of some sensitivity, Dandelion quietly approached Triss.

The sorceress now had her arms crossed, and one finger was pulling down a strand of her signature long burgundy hair and twisting it around.

Her eyes were always fixed on the tall figure. Even wearing a cloak did not affect Triss from admiring her lover's body while recalling the feeling of last night.

"Your eyes are so thick that honey is about to flow out."

Dandelion leaned closer and complained softly.

"But based on my experience, Triss. When a man discusses a topic with another group of people in front of his lover that she doesn't understand and can't get in, anger and disappointment are almost natural. Don't you feel this way? ?”

"The feeling you are talking about should be called 'sense of crisis' and 'sense of neglect', Dandelion."

Triss did not turn her head or look away, she just lowered her voice to the level of the poet, and her tone was natural and casual.

"This schoolmate of yours is indeed very beautiful, but she still has to grow up for two more years, and she is just a little chick now. Do you think I will have a sense of crisis for her?"

"And we all know that if Lan wants to get a girl into bed, he can solve 90% of the problem by simply lifting the hood on his head. Has he lifted it now?"

Dandelion prided himself on not being blind, so he shook his head, smacked his lips and stood next to Geralt, calmly receiving the look of the witcher who had watched a good show.

Shani has just entered college. She actually didn't interrupt, and she even understood the basics of Lan En's theory.

But this female college student is indeed as Dandelion said, with a clear purpose and a persistent spirit.

She estimated that she had already chosen a department and supervisor for herself before enrolling in Ossenfurt, and she knew which theories and scholars she needed to pay attention to if she wanted to be a good doctor.

So just by listening in on the discussion between Kalkestein and Lan En, she also showed eagerness and hunger.

And there is no one who doesn’t know how to pretend to understand but interrupts and gets attention.

This sense of proportion alone is enough for many young people to learn from.

She really wants to learn something.

Lan En could feel her emotions.

"Are you here for your own industry?" Kalkstein looked at Lan En in surprise, and then said without hesitation.

"It is indeed dangerous to have the capital chain broken. I still have some money here, do you need it? No, I don't do it for anything. I just don't want scholars like you to be overwhelmed and haggard by asset problems. It is simply a waste."

"The process of our research is like sailing on a large river and sea, full of currents, whirlpools, and dangerous sandbanks and rocks. A boatman alone can never figure out all the secrets of a waterway. He must go to the dock to communicate with other boatmen. Experience and discovery.”

Kalkestan's words were sincere, and even though he had an unflattering, ape-like face, Lan En thought he was quite cute.

Because emotionally, Kalkstein means it.

He was willing to spend part of his money for Lan En, a person he had just met, just so that his wisdom would not be hampered by trivial matters.

Although this is not all of his savings, but only part of it, this behavior seems more sincere.

He wanted to do his best to help, even though he seemed completely unclear about Lan's relationship with Arethusa and the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce.

Unlike the image of someone obsessed with alchemy, this guy seems to be actually quite heroic.

Lan En chuckled under his cloak.

"No, no need, Kalkstein. Thank you for your kindness. But in fact, I have almost dealt with the asset issue. Now I am just looking for someone to be my professional manager."

He looked at the instruments behind the alchemy master that were crude due to the limitations of his residence, as well as the high-end product being generated in these crude instruments - the golem heart base material.

The corners of Lan En's mouth suddenly curved in a subtle way.

"Your skills and creativity amaze me."

"I've got a great idea, Kalkstein. It might make us a fortune."

"Whether we make money or not can be discussed later." The ape-faced alchemy master waved his hands indifferently. He really didn't care about this.

Instead, Kalkstein grabbed Lan En's arm expectantly.

"Can you leave an address? A mailing address is fine too! I'm really interested in the crystal cultivation project you lead, and there's other knowledge we can exchange!"

"No problem, just sign it with my name and send it to Aretusa. I will receive and reply to the letter. I also want to communicate with you."

Lann agreed to Kalkestan, which made the ape-faced alchemist master rub his hands like a fly.

And he was still saying "It's not a loss!", "This trip to Novigrad is really a loss!" and so on.

After Lan En finished his academic exchange with Kalkstein and made appointments for follow-up correspondence, he was about to turn around and leave.

Lan En, who was about to go out, paused. He raised a hand under his cloak and patted Shani's shoulder next to her, who was still full of excitement and was holding a small notebook to record the exchange just now.

He still didn't let the female college student see his face.

"If you have ideas for your future studies, we can also communicate through letters."

"Me? I, I'm just a student, can I follow you?!"

"But I think you have the potential to be a great doctor. Of course we can exchange academic issues."

Lan En said softly, he doesn't hate people who are ambitious, especially if his career is to be a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded.

Moreover, the current overall atmosphere in the academic circle is not good.

Thanks to the Warlocks' concept that "my power comes from my possession of knowledge, not from sharing it".

Even if it is a combination of scholars in the form of a research group, they will still have a hand in each other's hands.

Candid communication and discussion become a luxury.

Kalkstein not only showed a heroic outlook on money, but also liked Lan En's concept of sharing knowledge. He was indeed a powerful alchemist.

Shani's intellectual curiosity was the same.

So he looked forward to exchanging letters with the two of them.
