Chapter 113 The Function of the Philosopher’s Stone

"Information entry is complete." Norma's calm female voice came from the computer.

Shutoku Aki and Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, left Professor Mance's office and went to the school hospital for a physical examination.

The doctor will draw blood and conduct various physical examinations on them to provide material for subsequent simulation calculations. Of course, during this process, they will also check whether the two couples are suitable for childbirth, which is actually similar to a premarital examination.

Ye Shengla gave Lu Mingfei a look before he came to the door.

Lu Mingfei secretly nodded in response, sent them off, and sat in front of the principal again.

"When you see them getting married, don't you have any restless thoughts in your heart?" the principal asked, "You have only turned eighteen this year, don't you want to find a partner in your beautiful youth?"

"Principal, let's talk about business first." Lu Mingfei sighed.

"This is the first time that a student has been so anxious to drive me away." The principal pressed the document with his fingers helplessly and continued to interpret it for Lu Mingfei.

"As for your exclusive equipment, I have said before that you can discuss the specific details with Professor Mance. Although you have a handy weapon, the special equipment does not have to be a weapon. For example, diving suits and climbing tools are also acceptable. "

"But these things are available everywhere, why should I customize a set?"

"No, no, no, have you forgotten? In recognition of your contribution, we have specially approved a five-gram Philosopher's Stone."

"Philosopher's Stone? Isn't that poison?" Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.

"It seems that you have not previewed "Introduction to Alchemy". There are five elements in the periodic table of words and spirits, earth, fire, water, wind and spirit. The spiritual element is the only element that is not within the control of the four monarchs. Although we The specific reason is not clear, but the Philosopher's Stone, which is made up of spiritual elements and condensed into a physical entity, can easily kill dragons."

Angers said: "But as the highest masterpiece of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone must not only be used as a toxin. And the Philosopher's Stone is not highly poisonous to humans. If you swallow it whole, it will be poisonous the next day." It will appear in the toilet."

"What other functions does it have?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Since it is a spiritual element, of course it is related to the spirit." Angers took a sip of tea and said slowly: "For example, a hidden weapon, similar to the Chinese pear blossom needle, do you know?"

"I definitely know this. There are hidden weapons hidden in the sleeves. They are all in martial arts novels. The assassin uses special movements to trigger the mechanism of the hidden weapon, and then he can shoot out a thin needle coated with poison." Lu Ming's hands looked like Spider-Man. Make an action like shooting a spider web, "Is the Philosopher's Stone a needle used to make hidden weapons? Because it is very hard?"

"You have a rich imagination, but you are not." Angers shook his head, "As a crystallization of spiritual elements, it can be connected with your spirit."

"Connected together?" Lu Mingfei started thinking, "You mean, I can give it instructions with my mind?"

"That's pretty much what it means. The Assassin's Pear Blossom Needle needs to be triggered by movement, but if the Philosopher's Stone is added during the production process, no movement is required. You can instruct the Pear Blossom Needle in your mind to shoot out, but the Philosopher's Stone The stone connector must be in direct contact with your flesh."

"I probably understand." Lu Mingfei touched his chin and considered it carefully.

He did have one thing he wanted - a prosthetic hand.

To be precise, it was the hook on Renyi's hand. He always had the desire to jump to the bottom of the cliff when walking on the mountain road.

"Let's discuss the specific details with Professor Mans. I suggest you study the magic mechanical design seriously so that you can draw the drawings yourself. After all, sometimes the requirements and finished products are always unsatisfactory." Angers turned red. Pass the seal over.

Lu Mingfei opened the engraved copper cover, pressed his thumb on the red sponge, and stamped the document.

He really wanted a hook, which would be much more convenient. For example, if someone blocked the road in the academy, he could fly to the roof and disappear without a trace.

"One more thing." The principal put the documents away, "Didn't I promise you at the beginning of the 'Kuimen' plan that your internship during this winter vacation will be offset? According to the agreement, your internship class will be awarded when the grades are entered at the end of the semester. A 4.0 GPA, but you still have to make up the essay.”

"You can choose any thesis topic. Of course, you are not required to submit it now. You will submit it to Professor Guderian after the vacation." The principal put his elbows on the table and leaned forward. "Do you have any other questions? Of?"

The two looked at each other, and Lu Mingfei hesitated.

He has to write a paper again, which really bothers him, but fortunately the deadline for this paper is very long.

After a pause, he asked: "Principal. Why does Dragon King look so human?

"If you think about it before, the so-called dragon slaying probably means killing a big monster, but dragons may indeed appear in the form of humans. They are still aliens. Their understanding of the entire world is different from ours, and they cannot be treated as human beings." The principal said. Come over and take a photo, "We collected some information about Norton when he was a human."

In the photo, Old Tang was playing cards with a group of people, with a cafe in the background and sunlight shining in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"You and Fingel met him on the Internet. No one knows who his biological parents are. He was adopted. He dropped out of high school and took on some secret jobs to make money." The principal said softly: "He probably hasn't told You guys, his profession is a hunter, and he takes jobs that are on the edge of the law, such as tomb robbing."

"Has he always been the Dragon King?"

"It has always been that, according to the "Ice Sea Fragments" record, these brothers have been living in a bronze palace in Northern Europe, but from a certain day BC, no record of them can be found. Now it seems that they spanned Eurasia went to China without revealing their identities in the process, and it took them who knows how many years to reach their destination.”

Angers continued:

"At that time, Wang Mang usurped the power of the Han Dynasty and China fell into war. His brother changed his name to Li Xiong and used the power of the dragon clan to control the warlord Gongsun Shu of Sichuan and pushed him to the front to proclaim himself emperor. Baidi City, Bai is actually a metal The color of Gongsun Shu uses a certain metal as his lucky charm. The Chinese meaning of Baidi is actually 'King of Metals'."

"Why do they do this? Aren't dragons and humans mortal enemies?"

"I don't know, but it must have a very important purpose. It's a pity that no one knows it. Twelve years after they arrived in China, Emperor Liu Xiu defeated Gongsun Shuhe and the two brothers. At the moment before his death, they completed The soul cocooned into a prepared egg waiting to be born.

Ronald Tang looks like he is only twenty years old, but he may be much more than that, because he left the Three Gorges Dam before it was built. He came to the United States through unknown means and lived in human society for twenty years. Convinced he was human until his brother woke him up. "

"Are they dead? Or have they turned into cocoons?" Lu Mingfei raised his head.

"Dead, your first shot was accurate. My brother was penetrated before he could cocoon. Perhaps Norton was too angry and did not choose to cocoon from beginning to end. Moreover, the 'egg' must be prepared before cocooning. I think they may not have any spare eggs."

"." Lu Mingfei was silent.

"Don't be too sad." Ange comforted: "In the past, we never knew whether dragons had brotherhood or anything like that. Now it seems that they do. They are indeed similar to humans. But we didn't know at the beginning Take a stand, this is a war between two races."

"I think they are quite miserable." Lu Mingfei sighed, "Principal, what is "The Fragments of the Sea of ​​Ice"? Does it record Norton's past?"

Lu Mingfei really wanted to know Norton, or what kind of life Old Tang lived thousands of years ago.

He just heard the principal mention this document and wanted to ask if he could borrow it for a look.

"The "Ice Sea Fragments" is an ancient scroll that we obtained from a ruins in the Glenling Ice Sea ten years ago. It is a pottery altar containing some ancient parchment scrolls and papyrus scrolls. The copied text is in Hebrew. It is mainly written in Greek, Aramaic, Nabati and Latin."

Angers stood up and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder: "It was probably something recorded by humans at that time. Since Hebrew is no longer used, it needs to be deciphered and organized by experts. Due to its age, "Ice Sea" Many contents of "The Fragments" are unclear or lost, and experts are working hard to restore them, but in the past ten years, we have only restored a small part, and some are still speculations."

"There is also a prophecy about the end of the world in the "Ice Sea Fragments". When the black dragon Nidhogg gnaws the roots of the World Tree, the end of the world will come. There are also records of the four great monarchs, but they are only briefly mentioned. Part of the content is still being deciphered, and recovery will be a long-term task."

"There are deciphered parts in the college's database, which you can check with your S-level account permissions."

"I understand, principal, I'm done with my questions." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave first." Angers organized the documents on the table and left Professor Mance's office.

The time came to 1:20 in the afternoon, and Lu Mingfei still had class at 2 o'clock. Professor Mans seized the time and started tutoring from the most basic things.

The biggest difference between magical mechanics and ordinary machinery is power.

"Magic" is a key word. Even the simplest magic machine will involve the field of alchemy. The biggest difficulty of this course is how to add the "magic" part to ordinary machinery to create Optimized machinery.

The name sounds high-end, but in the end, mechanical drawing is inevitable.

"Have you decided on your thesis topic?" Professor Manns asked.

"How about the magic prosthetic hand?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

"Yes." Professor Mans nodded, "This is also one of the topics studied by my team. Ordinary prostheses cannot be manipulated at will. Magic prosthetic hands are a good direction. The ultimate goal is to link thinking and move according to heart. Theory It can already be realized, but it must use the Philosopher's Stone. No one can afford the price. I will send the relevant information to your mailbox. Read it carefully. Today, I will write a 2,000-word preliminary draft and outline. , I’ll check tomorrow.”

"Okay, Professor." Lu Mingfei took out his phone, glanced at 2GB of graphic materials and videos, and sighed.

He went to the teaching building without stopping to take "Alchemy and Chemistry Level 1".

At 4 o'clock after class, he returned to the dormitory and turned on the TV to watch TV series and complete Lu Mingze's task.

After eating takeout in the evening, he took his student ID card to help Ye Sheng prepare for the proposal ceremony. It was a very busy day.

The two came to the front of the Norton Hall, which was a concave-shaped building with the gate in the middle and the buildings on both sides surrounding it, giving it a sense of oppression.

The whole place is made of white granite wall tiles, surrounded by built flowers. There are floor-to-ceiling windows facing you, and you can see the fireplace and marble floor inside. There is also a complete bear skin and huge antlers hanging on the wall, which is very beautiful. It has the style of a European aristocrat.

Before coming here, Lu Mingfei took his student ID card to ask for the key to Norton Hall.

Pushing the door open and going in, the large crystal chandelier lights up. The room is a little empty, with only some antique tables, chairs and vases placed against the wall.

All the things in the student union were moved away, but Caesar was not stingy in taking the things away. To him, it didn't matter if he bought another set, but he regarded Lu Mingfei as his opponent. Leaving things behind would make it appear that he was Deliberately infringing on Lu Mingfei's chassis.

Male lions have a strong sense of territory. They urinate every day and leave a scent to tell other male lions that this land belongs to them.

When Norton House did not belong to Caesar, he would not leave a scent to provoke another lion, but would clean up the property as a sign of respect.

"What do you decide to do?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I have an idea." Ye Sheng said: "You can hold a masquerade ball in your name and invite men and women from the college to participate."

"At that time, there will be a voluntary event. Women with partners need to cover their dresses and hair, wear makeup masks, cannot speak, and sit in a row with other female guests participating. Men need to do this Find your female companion under the circumstances.”

"This is very romantic! We can arrange for the staff to let Aki sit in the seat reserved in advance. Then you can be the first to hold Shude Aki's hand, and then kneel down on one knee to propose to her." Lu. Mingfei nodded, "That's great!"

"No, I don't want to do anything." Ye Sheng shook his head, "I will find Ya Ji myself, and I believe that I will be the first."

His eyes were firm, as if he had made up his mind.

"Not bad! You have to have this kind of momentum!" Lu Mingfei applauded, "Then what should we do now? Plan the dance, or decorate it first. To be honest, I have never done this kind of thing before, and I have no experience at all."

"Actually, I don't do this either." Ye Sheng looked embarrassed, and then patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, "But it doesn't matter, doesn't Caesar often do it? I think he does it very well. There must be a professional team in the college. .”

Lu Mingfei thought of the waiter who was a band conductor, could make milk tea, and delivered takeout every day.

"Wait, let me ask." He took out his mobile phone and texted the waiter.

The waiter was very busy at work. He and Lu Mingfei told him not to make phone calls, just send messages and they would get a response soon.

He replied within 10 seconds of sending it, as quickly as ever.

"Mr. Lu Mingfei, I'm sorry to tell you that there is no such service in the college. Mr. Caesar's party is organized by the student union members. We only provide food and band performances and are not responsible for the venue decoration. If you really want For a masquerade party, you can ask Mr. Caesar for advice. Of course, I can also do it for you, but I may not be as perfect as Mr. Caesar."
