Returning from the abyss

Chapter 448 Twins
Although Howard and Bolliwell both have some knowledge, their fields do not overlap at all. Now it is simply a chicken and a duck talking, and there is no way to explain it.

At this time, Lu Ning also let the two of them quarrel. No matter what you say, the relationship between the two is much closer than her own. It is not her turn to help an outsider to explain. She depicted the corresponding transformation formation on the table. The parchment was pulled out and studied carefully.

The array knowledge contained in this transformation array has not exceeded Lu Ning's knowledge range. Although some adjustments have been made above, it is just a few angles of magic power flow. If I insist, it is biased towards precious metals. The direction of refinement.

But in theory, that kind of phenomenon shouldn't happen. The principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy cannot be violated. There are no precious materials in this room. What kind of refining is used to produce a room full of poisonous gas?

Lu Ning took out a small bottle from her pocket. This was the medicine bottle she had given to Pierre before, and she took it back after washing it. When she just opened the window, she filled the bottle with some green gas.

"I'm going to check what this gas is, and if you can explain it clearly, come and find me." Lu Ning said to the two of them, walked out the door, and went straight to the alchemy laboratory.

Any alchemy laboratory must be equipped with conventional testing tools and a sealed box of inert stone. Even with such regulations, at least 20 alchemists die every year because of refining unknown substances.Even a store like Howard that only sells general medicines and sundries must abide by this rule.

Therefore, Lu Ning easily obtained a series of tools needed, pulled out three drainage tubes, divided the gas into three parts, and began to test its various data.The process won't be quick, so Howard and Bolliwell will be here shortly thereafter and haven't finished yet.

"Is there a result?"

"I don't believe I did it, daddy," Bollwell said with a bitter face.

"I believe you didn't do it on purpose. No fool can poison himself to death in his sleep! Lilian, is the result out?"

"We have to wait, just right, since you're not arguing anymore, I'll ask Bolivar a few things." Lu Ning glanced at Bolivar.

"He said everything." Howard responded directly for Bolivar.

"Bollywell, do you have any brothers? Either the ones who are a few years behind, or twin brothers." Lu Ning asked.

Bolivar, who heard this question, was silent for a moment, and Howard glared at him directly.

"Okay... yes." Bolivar nodded, "You are also an alchemist, so you can basically know... I come from the Cardin family. Most of the children in this family are twins, and I am no exception. I have a younger brother."

"Can you tell me what happened?"

With a long sigh, Bolivar found a place to lean on and said, "We studied together until we were eight years old, and I became a junior alchemist when I was eight years old."

"You kid is a genius, no, you're almost thirty this year, right? Then aren't you a waste kid?" Howard began to evaluate seriously.

"Dad, don't make fun of me. I was indeed improving faster than my brother at that time, which also caused the two of us to fail to synchronize in alchemy. It's nothing to ordinary people, but it's not to us. Very easy to do."

"Are you studying twin alchemy?"

"For the family, once they have something that no one else has, even if it is just a useless thing, they will try to coat it with a layer of noble brilliance. That project has never been interrupted in fact. Every year, the Cardin family There will be a large number of twins who will start out as experimental subjects, and we are just a group of losers."

"Isn't your delay in entering the country related to this?" Lu Ning asked.

"Maybe, because the gap between my brother and me is too large, and it hasn't shortened for six months, so the family can only stop our project from entering the country, and our life has returned to normal, but the contact between the junior alchemist and the apprentice Education was different in the family and we had to separate. The problem is, after that, we never saw each other again."

"..."

"I asked a lot of people, but no one knew what happened. I found some elders in the family, but this kind of thing never happened. Some elders who have a good relationship with me went to the school to check and found that my brother was killed by a An alchemist who is equivalent to the level of a magister was accepted as a disciple, and after two months of study, he went on a trip with him, and never came back after that."

"Your family doesn't care?" Howard froze for a moment.

"My younger brother was 15 years old at that time. At this age, it is normal for a teacher to take him on a trip, not to mention that the other party is a magister-level, even a family should be cautious. The Cardin family does not have a particularly outstanding academic background, nor is it What kind of noble family, apart from the fact that they have more children, they have no ability to inquire about the whereabouts of a magister." Bolivar said with some self-deprecation, "And my alchemy has also begun to stagnate. Elementary level knowledge is not enough for me. What's the problem, I also know a lot about the intermediate level, but every time I start refining the intermediate level medicine, I always feel that something is missing, and the refining is all a failure."

"You...don't have any guesses?" Lu Ning asked.

Bollywell shrugged helplessly: "How could there be no? Do you know? All my failed intermediate potions have a purity of 48 and 49, without a single exception."

The alchemist's successful potion ranges from 95 to 100, and full purity is an impossible number. The instrument for measuring purity will not calculate decimals...

"Do you think it is the existence of your brother that caused your current situation?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I'm here? Which alchemist doesn't have the dream of refining a handed down work?" Bolivar looked like he was about to cry, "But I... have no possibility of entering the country."

"You're unlucky too. Lilian, that magister might have a big problem."

"Your brother and the name of the magister, you always know these two, right? Since he studied for two months first, the magister must have been in school for a while."

"My brother's name is Abel, Abel Cardin." Bolivar said immediately, "His teacher... I don't know if that's his real name, but the records left by the school are named Soigo Osa O (Soyg-oHTTHo)."

Saying that, Bolivar wrote two names in the air.When Howard and Lu Ning saw the tutor's name, they felt that the name was [-]% fake.

"Are you stupid? Where have you seen someone whose name is written like that?" Howard almost couldn't help pressing Bolivier's head, "Don't you know how to investigate before asking your brother to apprentice?"

"He really has the level of a magister!" Bolivar argued away from Howard, "And he is from the unknown sea, how to investigate?"

This time it was Lu Ning's knowledge blind spot: "Where is the nameless sea?"

"Near the northeastern part of the mainland, a piece of far sea in the extremely cold area. The sea water there is black, which is clearly different from the normal sea, and they are not confused with each other. Ships will sink when they pass by, and no living things in the air can fly... So how do you believe that there are still people coming from Wuminghai?" Howard looked like he was about to curse.

"They think...to be able to cross the nameless sea...they must have great abilities..."

"A piece of shit! You can still believe that a magister can come to a sea area where neither the sage emperor nor the sage can get through! Your Patriarch's mind is filled with inferior magic liquid?"

"But he can really..."

"Did you see it? Did you go swimming in the Unknown Sea with him?" Howard kept complaining.

"He brought a bottle of sea water."

Although Bollywell's voice was a bit low, both Howard and Lu Ning could hear the words clearly.

"You...you say it again?"

"He brought a bottle of sea water from the Nameless Sea, pure black, and floated a feather on the water in front of many people."

Howard was dumbfounded.

"If someone really has this kind of ability, he should be able to cause a sensation in the magic world." Lu Ning scratched her head and rummaged in her pockets - the large pockets on the inside of the apprentice's robe are really convenient , she was almost stuffed into a treasure bag.

Soon, she took out a scroll.Students like Xue Ni and Catherine certainly have their own channels to know some information about public lectures in advance.Such as the schedule for the first few days, and an abbreviated list of lecturers.

Lu Ning hasn't studied it carefully yet, because she really doesn't know any of them, but since she has such a copy in her hand, there is no harm at all.

Unfold the scroll and look down according to the lecturer's name, then a name with personality should be very conspicuous in the list.

"I found it." Lu Ning was a little surprised, she didn't expect to find this.

Bollywell and Howard came together, and sure enough, they saw the very weird name.

"Grand Magister-level alchemist... hiss." Howard clicked his tongue, "Your brother was taken away at the age of 15, isn't it 20 years? Is this the Grand Magister?"

"Where's my brother? Is there any news about him?" Bolivar asked hastily.

"No, the introduction here is very short, but since he appears here, there is always a chance to ask." Lu Ning glanced at the timetable, "From the next day, he will have public lectures, and the first The first class should be nine o'clock in the morning, Topa District, Royal Academy of Alchemy."

"Boy, you must go." Howard glanced at Bolivar.

"Yes, I must know what happened in these years."

At this time, the work of checking the device was also completed. Lu Ning recorded all the readings on a piece of parchment, then took out the standard comparison table and began to look for the properties of the medicine corresponding to the readings.

"It is a highly volatile, slightly toxic drug. It will probably cause retching and headaches. Inhalation of overdose will cause fainting, but it is not fatal. For treatment, it should be placed in a ventilated place for a period of time." After a while, Lu Ning raised her head and said.

"That's no big deal." Howard breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't do those things in your house from now on."

"Yes, yes." Bolivar nodded repeatedly.

"Now finish your work for today! Lilian has done everything she should do and will accompany you to clean up the mess, so don't look downcast anymore! Give me some energy!"

Howard energetically called Bolivar to go to work, and Lu Ning also packed up her things and left the laboratory.

She won't tell everyone, there is a high probability that this happened by accident, but she must be more vigilant.

There was no problem with the part of the analysis report, the damage of the poisonous gas was limited, and there was no fearsome function, so she read it as it was.Bolivar was too busy dealing with Howard, so he didn't think carefully about the issues here...or, in other words, he was actually not very sensitive to danger.

"The part used for exchange is the cell wall." Lu Ning didn't write this on the paper, but it is not difficult to deduce it after the results of alchemy and the transformation of alchemy. She has already figured out what the exchanged materials are.

The refining formation uses the bed board as a material for refining. Due to the value of the bed board itself, the poisonous gas is not very effective, but the bed board has remained intact because only a part of the cell wall structure has been refined.

This is an aggressive alchemy. This time, the cell wall was extracted as the refining material, and Bollywell, who was lying on the bed, survived. But what if it is the cell membrane next time?Or even less delicately, extracting oxygen, or protein, or even blood as a material?
Blood... At this level, it is something that Lu Ning can do with alchemy.

As for the alchemy that continues to compress to the microcosm, she has never heard of it, maybe she should see if "Advanced Alchemy" has any theory related to this aspect.

On the other hand, when she showed the list to the two of them, she also suppressed the lower half of the list and didn't let them read more.

At this time, it unfolded, and the names that were seen at a glance just now were revealed.

Grand Magister-level Summoner, Dalgh-aXa.

Grand Magister-level astrologer, Gor-hTh.

Grand Magister-level elemental magician, Zaaph-oHMHo.

"So... are there really people who can come from there, or... people who come from there have problems?"

In any case, Lu Ning has already made up her mind to listen to the lessons of these four when she has time.

Near noon, Lu Ning came to the commercial street, which was still a second-hand bookstore. She wanted to buy another copy of "Advanced Alchemy" to read this time.But this time when she walked to the door of the bookstore, she found that it was closed.

There was no announcement to explain the reason, just a sign [Closed today] on the door, and there was no one looking inside through the gap between the door and the window.

She was a little disappointed, after all, the books here were indeed cheaper than the new ones in the bookstore, and there were new ones from the previous ones, but as soon as she turned around, she saw another person coming from the alley.Lu Ning still remembered her appearance, she was the magic learner Jefni who told her about the rainbow mushroom store when she first came here.

Jiefuni obviously also remembered Lu Ning, and greeted her politely when she saw her, then glanced at the bookstore, showing a disappointed expression.

"It's not open today."
