In the entire hall of the feast of death, no one spoke, and they were quietly waiting for what product this experiment would produce, and how far it was from the synthesis of living matter.
This kind of silence is not difficult. It is completely different from the desperate and depressive silent scene under Felipe's strong oppression. Time seems to pass quickly.
I don't know how long it took, but when everyone's eagerly awaited mood was about to turn into a whispered discussion, Lucien on the high platform suddenly chuckled and said, "Mr. Felipe, you can turn on the reactor."
According to the procedures of normal magic experiments, Felipe opened various protective and sealed alchemy magic circles to prevent the products inside from deteriorating due to omissions and to prevent the spread of highly toxic gases.
The reaction furnace was slowly opened. Since everyone believed that it was an intermediate product of a magic experiment, although they were looking forward to it, they were not dignified, nor did they hold their breath or concentrate.
Under the magic treatment, many white and slightly reddish solid particles were covered in the reaction furnace which returned to normal temperature.
After putting these particles into the alchemy vessel and sealing them, Felipe turned to look at Lucien: "Professor, what should we do next?"
"Hehe, Mr. Felipe. Don't you want to check those particles?" Lucien replied with a smile.
Felipe was half puzzled and half guessing: "Professor, what do you mean..."
Sisi and other necromancers on the high platform were also puzzled, wondering why the professor asked Mr. Felipe to check the particles.
"Mr. Felipe, as you guessed, our experiment is over. Those particles are the substances contained in the human body." Lucien calmly affirmed Felipe's guess.
"What?!"
"The magic experiment is over?!"
"Those white particles are living matter?!"
…
The hall suddenly became noisy, shocked and dazed.
Felipe fixed his eyes on Lucien, as if he was trying to suppress the countless emotions that surged up in him. He couldn't accept that the experiment of synthesizing living matter would be so simple, and the result would be obtained so easily.
After a while, as the surprised discussions of the Necromancer and the apprentices reached the peak of boiling, Felipe finally said in a deep voice: "Mr. Professor, it's better that you didn't play tricks on me."
Feeling tense, Lucien almost thought that Felipe would not be able to accept the sudden attack. He controlled his mixed emotions of tension and relaxation, and replied calmly: "Mr. Felipe, you can find out if you check me Playing tricks on you. It's exactly what you thought it was urea!"
As soon as the vocabulary passed down from the ancient magic empire was uttered, the loud and noisy voices in the hall were like the tide receding suddenly, and fell into a very bewildered and dazed silence.
"Mr. Felipe, please check and verify those particles." Sidney, Tess, and Sidney actually spoke out at the same time, with unimaginable fear, fear, anticipation, and hope, as if it could not be excreted by the human body. The substance that comes out, but a taboo thing that can destroy the entire world.
For those who have learned ancient necromancer magic and grown into middle-level magicians, the theory of human life mechanics is an undeniable truth. They can stand here and have strong strength, which is enough to prove its correctness, but if it is proved that it is urea , Their outlook on life and the world may collapse suddenly, and they will doubt the real reason why they can advance.
Felipe's gloomy face rarely showed an unusually solemn expression. He walked slowly to the alchemy vessel, opened it, and then cast a ring of magic "identification" on the white and reddish particles.
The milky white light flashed by, and Felipe stood there quietly, staring at the particles with both eyes, without speaking or moving, like a stone sculpture.
Sisi waited for dozens of seconds, and when he could no longer bear the depression in his heart, he finally asked, "Mr. Felipe, is it really urea?"
Passed along with his voice, there are nearly a thousand eyes of expectation and fear.
The other necromancers and apprentices were afraid to speak, as if they were worried that their words would disturb Mr. Felipe and cause a bad change in the result. Even if the result is already doomed.
Felipe didn't seem to hear the question, and after a full minute, he said slowly and briefly: "It is indeed urea."
The hall was dead silent again.
Since Felipe experimented with his own hands, no one questioned the professor's mischief. They looked at themselves in despair. Could it be that the previous magic learning, analysis, and countless experiments and rituals were just a dream, and now they are finally pierced by the cruel reality. .
Felipe suddenly turned his head fiercely, and said to Lucien: "Professor, there are occasional mistakes in the identification technique. To be cautious, I will use various experiments to confirm their properties, so as to finally confirm that it is urea."
Appraisal is a kind of magic based on one's own knowledge. Whether it is arcane knowledge, mysterious knowledge, common sense of magic, historical books or rural rumors, etc., it is the basis for it to perform and produce effects. Therefore, if one's own knowledge is wrong or Omissions, the identification technique does occasionally make mistakes.
Hearing Felipe's words, Ceci and others rekindled hope. It seems that the most acceptable direction is to shift the wrong things in their fundamental concepts to the mistakes in identification techniques. No one likes to admit that they are wrong, especially Wrong from the start, fundamentally wrong!
In life, there is never a lack of such things to escape and make up various reasons to deceive yourself.
Lucien didn't seem to care much and said: "Mr. Felipe, you can experiment."
Felipe turned around and began various experiments with an extremely serious expression in the eyes of many people, while Lucien waited quietly beside him.
As the magic experiments ended one after another, Felipe's face became more and more gloomy, and the hearts of Ceci, "Fatty" and others became more and more heavy.
Bang Dang, the sound of metal vessels colliding with the alchemy table sounded, Felipe lowered his head, turned his back to Lucien, and said in a slightly dejected way: "Mr. Professor, it is indeed urea."
"This is impossible!"
Countless sounds of dying and struggling sounded, and there seemed to be a sound of shattering of the world view.
Sidney looked at his hands with an expressionless face, hands covered with stitches. If the mechanics of life is not valid, then why does my body exist
In comparison, those apprentices are in much better condition, and people like "Fatty" and "Red Wine" are still thinking, "It seems that the foundation of necromancy itself is wrong that we cannot become official magicians... So what is wrong is not us."
Lucien was about to open his mouth to steer the topic in a certain direction, lest Felipe, whose concept was broken under the shock, would become angry and crazy, and act recklessly.
But at this moment, Felipe turned around, with deep and firm eyes, and said: "Mr. Professor, it's not yet time for you to cheer for victory. Because I never admit that urea is a living substance, it is just human beings, magical creatures or The lowly products excreted by animals are vague substances between living substances and non-living substances, and cannot be considered as real living substances at all. In fact, you still have not proved that elements or non-living substances can be directly refined into life substance."
Facing the common sense established over decades, he was like a beast defending his territory, using the best reason he could think of to refute the professor's experimental results.
If it weren't for the professor's mysterious and unpredictable strength, he might be equal to himself. Felipe didn't mind using violence to resolve academic disputes!
Felipe's words rejuvenated Sisi and other necromancers and apprentices like healing magic, and they were full of confidence in themselves and their magic theory again.
"Yes, who said that urea is a living substance!"
Lucien was delighted in his heart, but said with a little anger on the surface: "Mr. Felipe, you are breaking the bet!"
The reason why urea was chosen, among other reasons, was that its status could be questioned by Felipe. Lucien didn't want to completely crush Felipe's ideas and win the final bet. Facing the attack of a crazy, angry, completely overwhelmed enemy with no scruples.
Even if Felipe doesn't think so, Lucien will guide him to think so!
Felipe showed a slight smile, pointing at Viscount Calendia: "With regard to urea, it has always been generally classified as a human substance, not a living substance. I believe that Viscount Calendia also agrees with me, I believe that all the magicians and apprentices present agree with me."
Viscount Karen Diya nodded: "Professor, your magic experiment is simple but unexpected, and indeed synthesized urea, which has never been successfully refined from non-living substances before. Hehe, in fact, I thought it would be Another kind of substance, the result is so miraculous. Just this experiment, I think you can get a lot of arcane points, Mr. Professor, and become one of the candidates for the 'Holm Crown' award. But I also like As Mr. Felipe said, he doesn’t think urea is a living substance, and it’s hard to imagine that such a dirty thing can contain life force. If you want to win the bet, you need to produce stronger evidence.”
"Yeah, how could the stuff in the urine be living matter!"
"But it is indeed a substance contained in the human body, hehe, the concept was secretly changed by the professor."
…
Voices of rejoicing to be relieved erupted one after another, with strong joy that the theory of human life mechanics has not been overthrown.
Felipe spread his hands and laughed: "Professor, you have also seen that urea is not recognized as a living substance. If you want to win, please refine another real living substance."
Lucien made his voice low and gloomy: "The other experiments haven't progressed yet. But the bet just now, I'm talking about the substances contained in the human body."
"I remember what you said..." Felipe said smugly, but stopped in the middle of the conversation.
Although he clearly remembered that what the professor said was the life substance contained in the human body, it seemed that it was not a wise thing to completely anger the professor, and he also did not want to face an angry, crazy and powerful enemy, especially when he was struggling to harvest After winning the victory, "Mr. Professor, how do you think it should be judged?"
Lucien was still "angry" and authentic: "Your sophistry made you lose your demeanor, and their ignorance made them miss the commemorative historical scene in the field of elemental and necromantic magic. Well, I have no way to refute your sophistry for the time being." , this bet is considered a draw for everyone. I will leave immediately, no longer meddling in the selection of necromancers and apprentices, and no longer spoiling the matter of the 'Pale Hand'. And you, Mr. Felipe, please tell everyone Stuart The identity of the Kecheng liaison at least gives those apprentices who are temporarily unable to go there a vision and hope, after all, they may not be able to become official magicians."
