There is a very striking story recorded in Oroson's Kasiri Bible. A powerful alchemist who studies power day and night. Finally set foot in the realm of God. The demons tempted him and made him degenerate and see no light. Although he is immortal, it is very painful for him to watch his lover die. So he used the power of God, rejected God's warning, and saved his lover. The two lived happily together. . .
However, the great God was angry, and raising the dead was a violation of God's iron law. So God sent punishment and killed his lover. Can no longer be resurrected. The alchemist suddenly fell into grief, but the demon he had been relying on disappeared. So this mortal, under the guidance of hatred, had to duel with the gods. In the end, he died under divine punishment. . . .
However, his method of stepping into the realm of God was recorded in his own scroll. Flowing in the long river of history, it has been peeped by countless people who try to resist the gods. . . . . That scroll came from the alchemist's hand, so although later generations did not know the name of the scroll, they named it after the alchemist's surname: Ripley's Scroll. . . . . . .

"Onix, answer, how to stabilize the boiling sulfur solution with cupronickel added to it?" In the middle of a lecture hall with white stone pillars, walls and floors covered with marble, and the ceiling carved with mysterious and long-lasting frescoes . A beautiful woman in a white robe with red hair was frowning, tapping on the alchemy platform in front of her, looking angrily at a white-robed student who had just woken up ten meters away and looked bewildered.
The student named Onyx was named, and his face flushed immediately, and the surrounding classmates lowered their hair and snickered in a low voice. But no one dared to tell him the answer in private.
"Uh... this." Onyx's voice was getting lower and lower. He had a quarrel with his classmates last night, and fell on the table to sleep this morning, completely forgetting Feng Li, who must not offend this morning's class. Alchemy instructor's class!
At this time, on the side of a half-opened and half-closed wooden door next to the lecture hall, a messy black-haired man, dressed in shabby black coarse cloth, was holding sewage and a broom in his hand. The 20-year-old man with a beautiful but dirty face was watching this carefully, with a disdainful and contemptuous smile on his face. His name is Palatine. Means holy, pious. But such a name is extremely inappropriate in this place.
Palatine is very aware of his own background. The biological parents, who had never been masked, put their newborn self in front of the academy and left without saying goodbye. There are no letters and messages. There is only a tattered bamboo basket and a cross on his chest. It is absurd that the parents not only do not want their son, but also put themselves in front of the organization that is wanted and hunted down by the most powerful and powerful Holy See in the entire continent, in front of the branch of the Free Masons Federation.
That's right, on the Oroson Continent, the Free Masons Association is a group of dangerous and harmless organizations. As a mysterious organization of alchemists, he is harmless and cares, with little attack power and not many members.
But what threatened was that he preached that the true god Inos, believed in by the Holy See, was a heretic. It preaches the equality of all things in the world, and preaches that the world is not created by God, but is created by invisible laws and the universe. This undoubtedly greatly threatened the rule and prestige of the Holy See. The thousand-year-long chase and being chased on both sides just kicked off.
Paladin didn't care about this, but what he cared about was that his parents put the symbol of the Holy See, the sworn enemy of the Free Masons Federation, on himself, and then gave it to the Free Masons Federation. Not surprisingly, the people in the federation were surprisingly angry.
Thinking it was an insult, he didn't kill himself, but raised himself as a slave for cleaning and chores, and took the ironic holy name of Palatine. Such sarcasm left Paladin speechless.
Leaning in front of the door, watching that Onyx couldn't speak, Palatine chuckled softly: "Stupid idiot, use clover to reorganize the magic circle and assist the four sequence formulas."
Of course, Paladin wasn't stupid enough to let those who disliked him hear him. He also didn't want those who disliked him to know that his alchemy skills were comparable to their teacher's. The reason why he didn't dare was because Paladin wanted to live longer.
Before she could wait for Onix's answer, Mentor Feng Li'er's frowning brow suddenly dropped, and she waved her hand with a deep sigh. The murder weapon on his chest shook violently, and he said with disappointment on his face: "Okay, okay. Let's end the get out of class."
As soon as the voice fell, the students in the classroom immediately picked up their textbooks with a loud bang, and with the sound of sliding tables and chairs, they squeezed towards the door. Seeing such a stunned look on Paladin's face, the look of disdain on his face immediately turned into a dull and stupid look. Pick up the broom and start sweeping the floor pretending to be. Whoa! A large group of students are male and female, handsome or beautiful. Talking and laughing poured out of the door.
As soon as he saw the dull Paladin, he immediately stepped forward with laughter and touched Paladin's head playfully, and said with a smile, "Fool, do it well." "Hahaha, my shoes are dirty, help me lick them. ." With a look of timidity and fear on Palatine's face, he evaded those who mocked and insulted him.
A student holding a good-looking female student, seeing Paladin's frightened poverty, suddenly became interested and teased: "Fool, you are so old, you haven't touched a woman yet."
After saying that, he suddenly pushed the woman in his arms towards Paladin: "Hey! This is for you!" I saw the woman screamed and jumped at Paladin, so scared that Paladin stepped back again and again, but couldn't help but touch her hand. The woman's soft waist sniffed the fragrance, and her face quickly flushed red.
"Hahaha! Look, this fool is blushing!" The male student was the sleeping Onyx. Seeing Paladin's appearance, he suddenly felt extremely happy and couldn't help laughing. What was even more insulting was that the female student who almost threw himself into Paladin's arms suddenly stared at Paladin with disgust and hatred, like something dirty, slapped the waist that Paladin touched, and hurriedly walked away. Going to Onyx, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Darling, stop playing this kind of thing! The thought of this thing touching me makes me feel sick all over!"
Hearing this, Onyx saw Paladin squatting crouching on the ground with his head buried in his arms, and he immediately laughed in a good mood: "Don't be angry! I'll go back to the dormitory later, so I can comfort you!" After saying that, he hugged the woman with one hand, and left with a group of smiling and happy classmates.
In the face of all this, those students who left the class turned a blind eye. This Palatine was an existence that was shunned by the entire Free Mason's Association branch. It is said that he is a fool who cannot do anything except rough work and normal daily life. Coupled with the ironic name, some poor people have given up the idea of caring.
This is a person who is not happy even for the dean of the branch, there is no need to ruin his future because of the benevolence of a woman. Therefore, in this huge branch of the Free Masons Association, Paladin did not even have a person who could speak.
At this time, those students who were also in their twenties had gone away and disappeared without a trace. At this time, the corridors covered with murals were empty. Quiet, even the sound of the leaves being blown by the wind outside is clear. Paladin stood up slowly. The hands that were trembling because of fear just now showed incomparable calmness. The face that was covered by the shadow formed by the dark hair did not have the slightest dullness, timidity, loneliness, or fear at this time.
Well, what is that! If people in the branch see it at this time, they will definitely think that they are dazzled. All this time the famous fool, idiot, timid coward. At this time, there was no trace of the past on his face at all. Instead, it showed a ferocious and vicious look! Eyes wide open, pupils constricted. The corners of the mouth distorted by hatred and destruction exude a chilling horror! It's not so much a fool as a demon in human skin!
The evil and gloomy corner of his mouth moved slightly, and a hoarse voice that exuded destruction came out in a low voice: "A bunch of rubbish, trash! My Palatine will not stop here! One day, you will be required to pay a heavy and irreparable amount. The price!" After saying that, Paladin's face changed back to the dull look again, picked up the broom and bucket, and slowly walked to another road.
In a dark little attic, Paladin slowly pushed open the dilapidated wooden door. Skillfully striking a match by the door, a dim oil lamp immediately lit up the damp and smelly room. This is a small room of less than forty square meters. It was full of cleaning tools. But the strange thing is that piles of books are neatly lined up on the ground. like an ocean of books.
In the pile of books, there was a dilapidated alchemy table that even had a crack that exploded after the alchemy failed. In addition to a few test tubes containing unknown drugs, there were also several tattered parchments on the stage, which were covered with beautiful runes and alchemy steps. Obviously, Paladin is not the fool that others think, on the contrary, he specializes in alchemy day and night, and his achievements and experience in this area are enough to make any teacher feel ashamed.
Paladin, who had just put down the tool in his hand and was about to relax and rest, was suddenly stunned. Surprisingly, I found that the brush I brought to clean was forgotten in the lecture hall! "Hey, I have to run again."
Paladin sighed helplessly. Once again, he blew out the oil lamp like a treasure, carefully closed the door, and walked towards the classroom again. Vaguely visible, from the windows of the tower, you can see the endless forests and mountains outside. All this was shrouded in a chilling night. It made the originally vibrant Lin Hai reveal a strange and gloomy aura. This night was unusual.
Just as this night is just the veil of the gods, what is hidden in the night is the real terror! Even Haoyue in the high sky was showing some strangeness at this time. Palatine never imagined that his life, from this mysterious and distant night, had taken an incredible turn. . .
