Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 74 Alchemy Institute

"This means... the 'Misty Raven' has been successfully tamed."

Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, the process went smoothly.

The tamed "Misty Raven" will no longer pose a threat to the contractor.

Luo Xiu then stretched out his hand and let the raven rest on his fingers, while his other hand gently stroked the feathers on its back.

So, Luo Xiu fell into the problem of how to name it.

He recalled his past life. In the Bhutanese mythology system, "Raven" is the messenger in charge of Krishna;

In Celtic mythology, "Raven" is the incarnation of the god of navigation who guides the night journey...

However, no matter what mythology system it is, "Raven" is basically related to "Dark Night"...

Therefore, Luo Xiu finally decided to name the Kirigakure Raven.

——"Foggy Night".

The meaning is - "It is the ferryman of black mist and the incarnation of midnight."

Luo Xiu gently stroked the soft feathers of "Wu Ye", and his face showed a happy expression of a complete life, like a retired veteran cadre.

"What do you mean by a bird walker who has both cats and dogs..."

Luo Xiuru smiled and said to himself.

…

In the afternoon.

After summoning "Misty Raven" and taming it, "Misty Night" was left in the hotel room by Luo Xiu to look after the house.

As a raven with its own "surveillance camera" effect, Luo Xiu let it use the fog shadow, and at the same time placed hundreds of fog shadows in every corner of the "White Antelope Hotel".

Because Luo Xiu was not sure whether the cultists of "Blood of Thorns" could really find this place.

If the raven is left to look after the house, Luo Xiu can also monitor and prevent various situations that may occur in real time.

…

Afterwards, Luo Xiu put on his thick velvet robe and went out.

He prepared to head to his afternoon destination.

——The academy under the "Tower of the Sage" in the Nolan Empire.

——The "Alchemy Institute" in Sina City!

Luo Xiu prepared to show the brooch from the "Horse Bandit Leader" Sainte Skach to the "knowledgeable ones" in the Alchemy Institute.

This was his only plan for this afternoon.

When he helped merchant Alerdin kill the three leaders of the marauding horse bandits, Luo Xiu only took off the brooch of "Saint" as proof of his identity.

Luo Xiu intuitively felt that there must be some secret connection between the fact that Sainte, the "Alchemist" with the second life path of [Intellect], ended up being a horse bandit.

Luo Xiu was not curious about the story behind Saint, but as a player in the strategy team in his previous life, he keenly smelled the "hidden mission" in it.

And "Saint's Brooch" may be some kind of mission-critical prop.

The kind of key prop that can directly solve the "hidden mission"!

Luo Xiu thought, anyway, there is still one and a half days of vacation before he goes to "Red Maple City" and officially carries out the task of 'adjudicating heresy'.

There was plenty of time, and he came here with the mentality of giving it a try.

And this may also be an opportunity for Luo Xiu to establish a good relationship with the "Alchemy Institute"...

…

While thinking, Luo Xiu's vision suddenly cast a shadow.

A mysterious and simple obelisk-shaped building already stood in front of him.

The "Alchemy Institute" under the "Tower of Sages", this obelisk is the landmark building of the Alchemy Institute.

The entrance to the Alchemy Yard is a gray stone door with two sides. Extending upward from the entrance door, there is a wall made of pure white long bricks. The topmost spire is a spire dome polished from indigo crystals of unknown material, as a symbol of belief in "Truth", the pillar god of "Intellect".

Extraordinaries of the [Intellectual] destiny believe that real knowledge will always be in the hands of only a few people - their [Intellectual] believers are the few who stand at the top of this knowledge spire, and only they are qualified to " "See the truth", and "truth" will only teach the true sages and wise men the ultimate secret of the world.

The door to the obelisk of the Alchemy Academy is closed and is not open to the public under normal circumstances.

But there will always be two "scholars" standing on both sides of the entrance to entertain some important people who come to visit the Alchemy Academy.

Luo Xiu then walked to the door of the obelisk of the Alchemy Academy, and two "scholars" stopped him at the same time.

"Sir, please forgive me."

A scholar smiled and said, "Now is the time to seek truth. The Alchemy Institute is temporarily closed to the public. Please come back."

This is a middle-aged man, and the passage of time has carved wrinkles on his face.

On the other side of him was a young man with clear eyes. His eyes were full of curiosity, and when he looked at the middle-aged man, he was full of awe.

Luo Xiu quietly conducted detection. Whether they were middle-aged scholars or young scholars, they were all "scholars" with the first level of [Intellect]...

After quickly browsing the panel data, Luo Xiu smiled at the scholars opposite and said:

"I'm here about something, about an alchemist named 'Saint Scatch'."

Luo Xiu nodded, showing considerable patience, "It doesn't have to be too much trouble, I can wait."

Luo Xiu said while observing the reactions of the two scholars.

When he said the name "Saint Skach", the young scholar had no reaction.

But the middle-aged scholar's pupils shrank obviously.

Sure enough, it seems that "Saint" does have something to do with the Alchemy Institute...

Luo Xiu was thinking while waiting for the responses of the two scholars.

"...Saint Scatch, right?"

The middle-aged scholar nodded, "I understand, please wait a moment, I need to ask the knowledgeable people for instructions."

After saying that, the middle-aged scholar turned back, walked to the gray stone door, and reached out to touch the stone door.

Just above the stone gate, a layer of azure light quickly flashed, and the complex runic circuits exuded a deep dark blue luster, accompanied by the sound of rumbling and oscillating heavy objects.

The stone door was pushed open to both sides, and the middle-aged scholar walked in. His figure quickly disappeared from Luo Xiu's sight, and the two doors were immediately closed again.

…

After a not too long wait, the sound of "boom, boom, boom" sounded again. The middle-aged scholar walked out and came to Luo Xiu, nodding to Luo Xiu.

"The learned ones asked me to guide you and take you to meet them."

The middle-aged scholar said, then moved his eyes to the young scholar on the other side and said, "Hafen, I will take this gentleman in. Don't let up on your own..."

The young scholar named "Hafen" nodded vigorously.

The middle-aged scholar turned around again and reached out to touch the stone door.

The stone door opened again with a rumble, and Luo Xiu followed the middle-aged scholar into the interior of the obelisk of the Alchemy Academy.

According to Luo Xiu's memory, the obelisk building of the [Intellect] Alchemy Academy is divided into three floors.

Luo Xiu and the middle-aged scholar were at the bottom. This was the "Transformation Room", which was used to conduct transformation experiments on various alchemical materials. It was also the workplace of the most basic [intellectual] alchemists.

Inside the Alchemy Institute, the serious atmosphere felt completely different from the outside.

Many alchemists were communicating with each other, and there were some quarrels among them. They often get red-faced because of disagreements over certain alchemical formulas, and often scratch their heads because they cannot understand a certain "formula", which is completely inconsistent with people's stereotype of this group of "outstanding scholars"...

Just like those university animals in Luo Xiu's previous life in the university laboratory...

Luo Xiu thought this, and the middle-aged scholar also said:

"Sir, please come with me."

"We are about to head to the third floor of the obelisk, where Master Lockland Scatch is waiting for you."
