Chapter 310

once……

He would sort these things out and put them in front of him.

And...it will be written everywhere...

Full of comments about ancient magic that he didn't understand...

Then he held up his own notebook, knowing clearly that she would not praise her easily, but still expecting her to come forward with approval...

"I told you not to think about him!"

Leah held her forehead, knocked hard on the board on the side of the experimental table, and then raised her head.

The mirror hanging on the front of the experimental table in the dry and reagent-free area where she used to take notes seemed to shake due to the blow of her fist.

The piece of paper attached to the mirror fell slightly.

[Task 503: Teacher Leah can successfully create the wick of the Candle of Creation. 】

[Task 504: Teacher Leah can find out how to make the candle wax for the Founding Candle. 】

This piece of paper blocked her right eye, which made it even more obvious that her dark-rimmed left eye was staring at herself in the mirror and the words on the note with an indescribable "stubbornness".

"call……"

On task 503, she herself put a "√" with a red pen as if to highlight Will's notes.

On task 504, she herself wrote the red mark "Before the tenth daybreak".

On this page that was posted alone, there was nothing except for the [Reward] column. Even the "to be filled in" that had been written there was erased by her with a red pen.

"Great, it seems...it seems like the magic circuit is starting to turn again..."

Leah lowered her head in a panic, as if she didn't want to see herself like this in the mirror, and also seemed to...

I don’t want to think of some memories.

"Mission...yes, mission...mission..."

"It'll be fine if you follow the mission..."

"It's already the ninth day..."

Leah lowered her head and rummaged through a ball of paper with her left hand for something important. The ring finger with two rings on it made a few afterimages in the light as she rummaged.

"If... if... the results from last night, combined with the research of the Flame Witch about... about a hundred and fifty years ago, we should be able to... be able to get the optimal combustion temperature..."

Finally, a piece of light paper fell to the ground.

Compared to others, it is extremely clean.

"Yes, that's it..."

A relieved smile appeared on Leah's face.

Then, he picked up the note and walked towards the deeper experimental bench.

On every experimental table she walked past, there was a liver of an "Ice Spirit Horse" that had been burned to varying degrees - in a witch's research long ago, this was the most suitable starting point. The material of Chuangzhi Candle's candle wax. Because many species mentioned in ancient magic can no longer be found in this era, we can only find the closest substitutes from the dungeon.

From a liver that was burned until it was almost reduced to ashes, to a liver where the ice cubes on the surface were not completely dissolved, to a liver that was even cooked to brown inside...

However, current research…

There is no way to truly refine the liver into a sufficient amount of wax oil. According to the ancient magic book, it must be refined together with the liver and the ice on the surface.

Either the heat is not enough or the heat is too high.

It wasn't until this step that Leah realized...

Perhaps the "test" Liz gave herself did not have a definite "answer".

The bright sound that bombarded the entire Ice Spirit Horse's liver was actually an over-interpretation of the flame magic in ancient magic. If you really want to get the Candle of Creation, you need better cooperation.

For example...

Like now.

Leah took a deep breath and threw the heart of the brand new "Ice Spirit Horse" into the experimental cover.

Then, he worked hard to "moisten things and warm them".

"Mission...Mission 504...today, you will be able to...complete it today, right?"

Chapter 344 Student...? (3k)

"To put it simply, today, mother, today I will pass the 'test' you mentioned to me before."

For the witches living in the mezzanine of the dungeon, the passage of time is so difficult to feel.

After Liz couldn't remember how long it took for Leah to "re" return to the witch's lair, she finally walked out of her laboratory.

Standing at the door of her mushroom-shaped home, Leah had just opened the door, as if she had finally combed her twin ponytails just a minute ago. The golden twintails, one high and one low, looked particularly unlike her who usually pays great attention to her hairstyle.

Her eyes had thick dark circles, her face seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and you could even see tears in the corners of her eyes.

"You don't seem to have walked out of that door recently. Why did you suddenly say 'test' to me? Well... let me think about it, I don't seem to remember when I arranged a 'test' for you."

Liz clenched her chin, sitting on a chair outside the house, watching Leah place the liver of the "Ice Spirit Horse", a common trading material in the witch's lair, in front of her.

Although now, because Leah herself is using a large amount of Ice Spirit Horse Liver, the entire Ice Spirit Horse Liver in the Witch's Lair is almost sold out by her alone.

At this time, she actually remembered what "test" Leah mentioned.

"Oh! That's what you're talking about."

"Yes."

Liz looked her up and down while listening to her answer.

"Like this..."

Leah raised her staff and pointed it at the liver of the "Ice Spirit Horse".

The metal staff she was holding no longer had the sweat that would have been caused by nervousness before, and now she looked particularly calm.

"Getting started, moisturizing things and warming them up."

"Next is..."

"Brilliant light and sound——"

The same operation as usual, after a "fire light" that deprived the sound of sound, after her eyes adapted to the light, Liz saw...

The entire ice cube was completely bombarded, revealing the complete inner liver.

"Oh~"

Liz's voice couldn't be described as "happy". It was more like an encouraging celebration when she saw her daughter excitedly showing her the building blocks she built when she was a child.

"This is the test you're talking about, right? Let your firepower reach the level of destroying your liver with one move."

"That's right. After all, the current research on the Candle of Creation ends here. The magic of Bright Light Xisheng that makes candle wax has been increased to the highest output power, which is almost to this level~"

"Is it just... like this?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Liz was originally happy that "her daughter turned out to be just training herself and was not autistic," but now that she saw her appearance, she seemed not to be happy anymore.

She couldn't "observe" Leah before. She could only check her mental state every time she delivered food to her - after all, she was a child over a hundred years old, so she didn't need much attention.

but……

Now she can see that Leah is not only extremely tired physically, but also mentally and even in her magic circuit...

"I'm...I'm trying to complete the ancient magic 'Candle of Creation'. Its necessary prop, candle wax, I found a correct way to make."

Leah's tone seemed much "cold" than before.

"For example, like this..."

As if she was well prepared, she quickly pushed out a car from the door of her experimental house.

On top of the car is a magic isolation cover used by the flame magic experiment to control a small amount of experimental samples and "protect the laboratory".

It seems that in order to create a sense of mystery, but more likely to ensure the experimental effect and reduce the impact of light, Leah also covered it with a layer of red cloth.

"What the ancient magic says is that the preheating is carried out by moistening the object with warmth, and then the bright light and sound are used to complete the final melting and obtain the candle."

"Yes. Looking back, this should have been an inference drawn about a hundred years ago."

"But... I remembered one thing. What the witch with a long life may not realize, and the author of the ancient magic materials found in the dungeon five hundred years ago may not realize either... …”

Leah's eyes looked at the thing in the magic cover, with a rare expression of expectation and joy - an expression she rarely showed after she came back, and she lifted the red cloth.

"This...this is...!?"

Even Liz, who had lived longer than Leah, made a sound of shock when she saw what was inside.

Inside the magic shield, the liver of the ice spirit horse that had been moisturized and warmed, and the fat in it had melted to lie on the plate in the form of liquid together with the melted ice cubes outside.

Although it is still moist and warm and has not cooled down, it is conceivable that after cooling, it can...

Turns into a very suitable "wax block".

This is something that the witch has been researching for a hundred years, but has not been able to break through.

"They may not realize that there was a study that proposed using the liver of the Ice Spirit Horse as a replacement, but the subsequent research on the combination of burning methods was nearly two hundred years late. In these two hundred years, perhaps we who use magic have not changed much... but from underground Will the Ice Spirit Horse obtained by the city still be the Ice Spirit Horse from back then?”

"I understand... What you mean is that the method is correct, but since the substitute is wrong, the experiment cannot be completed according to the research done five hundred years ago or even two hundred years ago."

Liz is now not like the mother she used to be, standing aside waiting to watch her daughter grow and perform, but more like a serious "scientific researcher".

"Yes. This...this is where the blind spot is."

"Then what method did you use?"

"Compared with the material recorded in ancient magic, the current Ice Spirit Horse liver has changed its properties due to the increase in impurities. According to the interpretation of ancient magic, Canguang Xisheng was originally used to break the liver that was too hard and moisturize it. Warm is probably closer to the magic of heating to oil.”

"That's right. It should first melt the outside with warmth and moisturizing, and then melt the inside with the bright light and sound..."

"However, the ice spirit horse liver obtained now...the frozen part is harder, but the inside is more fragile. Because the internal impurity content is getting larger and larger."

"I see. Is this what led to the previous misunderstanding of increasing firepower?"

"So, I chose to melt part of the outside with Canguang Xisheng first, and then used Moisture to burn the inside and outside into oil in the slow heating state that Wen is best at - but this requires more consideration of the details of the heat, and the data needs to be more precise. ”

After Leah finished speaking her thoughts very rationally and "generously", she looked at Liz.

"How is it? Mom, I did a good job, right?"

Liz looked at Leah like this...

It seems like something has changed.

For example, if she had done such a great thing, such a breakthrough, she should... should be more "excited" than now. In her eyes, the surge of her magic circuit was unusually "cold".

But... for example, the previous Leah would not have introduced it to her so readily, and waited for her praise so readily.

"Well done."

She nodded.

Leah was also a little surprised, because as a "mother", Liz always seemed to be more harsh in her magic.

This was the first time she had seen such a straightforward answer.

"Actually..." Liz paused, looking at the oily wax block, which might be the first wax block among all witches, and seemed to have entered into memories, "In the beginning, I was the one who proposed to combine the gentle light and the sound to obtain the wax block."

She paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face.

It was a mother's gentle smile that Leah could only see when she was still a "normal human childhood".

"At that time, I thought it would be difficult for anyone to make a breakthrough at this point, but I didn't expect it to be so simple..."

"Sure enough!"

"Did you guess it?"

"The words that looked like they were crawled over by a lizard were obviously written by you!"

"Hey!"

"Of course, I...I am almost there. This is probably...probably a kind of genetic inheritance, right?"

Liya immediately added, scratching her head shyly.
