Felipe put his hands back into the pockets of the black windbreaker habitually, his expression was gloomy and unchanged, but there were countless thoughts in his heart: "Either the professor is a real madman, or he really has a certain degree of certainty by relying on elements or inanimate things. Synthesize the life substance contained in the human body!"
"On the one hand, I believe that a guy like the professor who can perform the purification sequence is a complete irrational lunatic, and on the other hand, I believe that he has made a subversive and groundbreaking breakthrough in the field of elemental and necromantic magic, which can be recorded in the history of magic. He will be the next winner of the 'Holm Crown' award. Haha, no matter which side you choose to believe, it's hard to convince yourself. No wonder the professor's evaluation of the purification sequence is very cunning and extremely dangerous."
"Bet him, or go to war directly?"
Felipe hesitated. His strong curiosity and confidence in his own necromantic magic made him want to see if the professor could really refine and synthesize living matter, and whether it was true that other basic theories of ancient magic had been subverted one by one. Then finally came the "human life mechanics theory".
This is the attitude towards knowledge that a fourth-level arcanist in his early thirties should have!
"Aside from apologizing, Professor, you seem to have nothing to lose?" Felipe said slowly, making the eyes of those mages and apprentices who didn't know which side to put their attitudes on widened. The powerful Necromancer Mr. Felipe Could it be that he was also infected by the professor's absurdity and madness
Lucien suppressed the joy in his heart, and said very calmly: "At least my mission failed." He bet that the young and powerful magician from the Continental Magic Council must have good achievements in arcane arts, and he must be irresistible To witness such an experiment that subverts the basic theory of necromancy!
Felipe stretched his left hand out of his pocket, bent his four fingers one by one, and clenched them into a fist. His tone became firm: "Okay, Mr. Professor, let's make this bet. Shall we sign the devil's contract now?"
According to the content of "Book of Astrology and Elements", a magic contract is a document that seeks notarization from various powerful existences. Once it is violated, it will be punished by the notary. According to the strength of the notary, there is a contract where magic power is directly embedded in the document. , which is a common magic contract that binds ordinary mages; devil contracts notarized by devils can be used to restrain middle-level magicians, high-level magicians, and archmages according to the level of the summoned devil; legendary contracts and oaths are It seems to be witnessed by the "origin" of the world.
"I believe in you, Mr. Felipe, and I also believe in myself, so there is no need to sign a devil's contract." Lucien replied calmly.
In fact, it is because of his level that there is no way to summon the devil. Even if he is summoned by Felipe, the real level will be discovered by the devil when signing the contract. It was very bad, so Lucien simply asked not to enter into a contract, creating a mysterious and unpredictable image.
Felipe was really stunned. If the professor wants to do it, he can do it now. There is no need to regret after failing the experiment. What is the professor thinking? ! Or did he not want the summoned devil to know his identity
"If I didn't keep my promise, I believe that Viscount Karonaldia would not welcome guests like me." Lucien pointed to Viscount Karonaldia who was looking forward to the start of the experiment.
Viscount Caronaldia didn't expect that he would be affected even if he stood up. He thought that the professor didn't want to leave his real name on the devil's contract, so he laughed and said, "You two gentlemen, why don't I come as a witness."
Felipe nodded slightly: "Then the Viscount will be the witness. Mr. Professor, you can start the refining experiment."
Lucien waved his hand: "For the sake of fairness, let me explain how to do it. You, Mr. Felipe, will do it yourself, lest you fail and make excuses that I fiddled with the experiment."
"A very reasonable proposal." Felipe couldn't help applauding. On the one hand, this made the experiment more believable. On the other hand, he might also be exposed to the details of the subversive and explosive arcane experiment, and learned a lot from it. Knowledge. As for making the experiment fail, Felipe didn't think about it at all, because it would be impossible to verify whether the experiment is effective. I believe the professor thinks so, so he made such a reasonable suggestion.
Lucien chuckled and didn't answer. He couldn't say it was because he wasn't strong enough to complete the experiment.
After informing Felipe of the high temperature and high pressure requirements of the experimental alchemy formation, Lucien watched quietly as he took out a fist-sized dark gold room from his pocket, and took out many small alchemy devices from it.
Miraculously, as soon as these alchemy devices left the hut, they quickly became their original size under Felipe's control, and soon the high platform was arranged into a nice small magic laboratory.
Seeing this, Lucien was very envious. He didn't know how to obtain this kind of alchemy item that could store things and carry it with him. It was simply a good helper for home travel meditation experiments.
When Felipe set up the magic laboratory, the mages and apprentices below began to whisper.
"You said, can Mr. Professor really refine life substances?" "Fatty" half resisted hesitation and half looked forward to asking the people around him.
The tall and thin "Red Wine" shook his head without hesitation: "How is it possible! The theory of human life mechanics is one of the basic theories of necromancy established by many legendary magicians in ancient times, and it is the undoubted truth!"
"Yes, it's the truth without a doubt!" An official necromancer in front of them nodded solemnly, "Our success in human body refining time after time is the best evidence!"
"Fatty" looked at them and said in a low voice: "But if Mr. Professor loses, we will join the Pale Hand. If this is the case, I might as well join the church and become a night watchman!"
"Bread" lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe Mr. Professor wants to take advantage of Felipe's experiment to make a surprise attack, so Felipe won't be able to react!"
He hated Felipe so much that he didn't even call him "Sir".
"It's despicable..." Another apprentice "Grouper" glanced at him, "But I like it!"
The necromancer in front shook his head and sneered: "Do you think Mr. Felipe will be unprepared? Do you think Viscount Caronaldia, who is a notary, just looks at it like this?"
Sidney on the high platform watched Felipe busy arranging the laboratory, and said without expression: "What exactly does the professor want to do?" He didn't think the professor's experiment would be successful at all, maybe it had another purpose
"I don't know, I have to seriously consider the matter of the pale hand." Tess couldn't see the clue, and the professor also believed that there was no possibility of success, so she began to think about how to seek greater benefits in the "pale hand".
Seeing Sidney glance over, Sidney shook his head stiffly: "I have decided to go to the pale hand. Whether Mr. Professor can succeed or not has nothing to do with me. Of course, in my personal opinion, the theory of human life mechanics is a well-deserved truth." , cannot be overturned by the professor.”
After hearing their answers, Sidney was silent for a while before nodding solemnly: "It's time for me to think about the pale hand."
Amidst the noise of mosquitoes flying over, Felipe set up the magic laboratory, and looked at Lucien with slightly crazy black eyes: "Professor, please start to explain how to experiment."
Lucien recalled the issue of "Arcane" he had read, and confirmed that he was not mistaken in the meaning of the appendix symbol table, and then said: "Separate nitrogen and hydrogen and store them separately."
Lucien is planning to use industrial methods to synthesize urea, which is the first artificially synthesized organic substance on earth. The reason for not synthesizing others or using laboratory methods is because the names of some substances in the reaction formula have not found the corresponding symbols and names of this world. After all, it is impossible for a strong person in the field of elemental magic not to know the names of similar substances.
However, the reaction of the industrial method is simple, and several kinds of substances are very common. I have also seen it in the contents and symbol tables of arcane journals. On the contrary, the high temperature and high pressure conditions that were difficult to achieve in the 19th century laboratories on the earth are not available in this magical world. Difficult to do.
After so many years of arcane experiments, magicians have long invented the "separation gas" magic. Felipe easily separated the two gases and put them into vacuum glass jars.
The simple and conventional beginning made Felipe question Lucien with slightly questioning eyes.
"Take a magnet..." Lucien asked Felipe to put the catalyst material into the reactor, "introduce the gas in proportion, then heat it to about 500 degrees, and the pressure is at..."
According to Lucien's explanation, Felipe fully activated all the alchemy formations and combined with the "pressure cage" four-ring magic, barely making the temperature and pressure of the reactor meet the requirements.
After the reaction was over, Felipe sensed: "There is no living matter, Mr. Professor."
He didn't question it, because he believed that even if the professor failed, it would not be so simple.
"Separate nitrogen and hydrogen, and keep the remaining gas." Lucien still said calmly.
Felipe chuckled: "It's ammonia gas. Professor, why don't you just say it, I have it ready-made in my laboratory."
"... How do I know the way ammonia is thought in this world." Lucien remained silent, "Let the temperature down and let it liquefy. Then separate the carbon dioxide for storage."
Felipe probably guessed what the professor was going to refine from these several substances, and sneered in his heart: "Can urea be synthesized by such a simple experiment?"
Then, after following the purification required by Lucien, Felipe put liquid ammonia and carbon dioxide gas into the reaction furnace again according to the ratio he said.
It is also under high temperature and high pressure conditions, but this time the temperature is only about two hundred degrees, and the pressure is only a hundred or dozens of times that of the surrounding area.
"Keep this reaction, let's wait for a while." Lucien smiled slightly.
Felipe and other mages, apprentices, and even Viscount Karenldea thought this was one of the steps of the magic experiment, because the experiment that wanted to break the theory of human life mechanics could not be so simple!
They had different emotions, but they also waited quietly in disbelief.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
