Chapter 463 The eternal giant snake feeds on the rod

If it is an unbelievable miracle to 'transform base metal into gold' in the understanding of mortals, then for the members of the Atlas Academy, it is just a 'simple transformation of matter'.

Childish and clumsy technology that is far from the ideal, that's all.

What Atlas Academy pursues is [Transformation of Events].Unlike the alchemy performed by the clock tower magicians, the alchemy of the members of the Atlas Institute is highly developed from the ancient Egyptian metallurgy that is the source.

What is "transformation of phenomena"?
That is the power called "Miracle", a special ability that is different from the skill (Skill) and Noble Phantasm of the servant.The change of events, the manipulation of the time flow, the establishment of a country, these are the powers that can create a world class.

Sifonne Abel, a genius alchemist of French descent, is also working hard on this as the highest goal of her life.

Immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge, studying the infinite mysteries with a limited life, this is the ultimate of the so-called [Alchemist].

The basis of alchemy in Atlas Institute is [high-speed thinking] and [divided thinking], and then there are [transformation] and [acceleration] alchemy.

[High-speed thinking] Just like the literal meaning. [Split thinking] is to divide one's own thinking and have multiple thinking circuits at the same time.All minds have the same purpose and exchange information with each other.And there is a multiplication effect between thoughts, for example, if you can make four split thoughts, you can have 256 thoughts.This doesn't simply mean that there are 256 alchemists thinking at the same time.Instead, there are 256 high-speed intelligences, with no gap between them, and they assist each other without hindrance for the same purpose.

Alchemists belonging to Atlas must at least divide their thinking into three parts, and those who have five parts are rare geniuses.

Sifna Abel's limit is [four].

Although she is just a fallen nobleman of French descent, Sifna's goal is not small, and she is obsessed with becoming the dean of the Atlas Academy. In that case, she must at least be able to divide her thinking into eight parts.

Two months ago, under the guidance of her mentor, Sifna began to study the composition and inverse deduction of [Philosopher's Stone].Her mentor is Ankara Nortris Siphis, one of the six sources (equivalent to the twelve monarchs of the clock tower), and their main research on this source is the alchemy inherited from the legendary alchemist [Nicolas LeMay] art faction.

Just when she was happy that she was finally able to get in touch with [Philosopher's Stone], the highest secret of the Atlas Institute, a dispatch order was placed on Sifna's desk.

An outside magician held one of the seven contracts lent by the Atlas Academy, and came to the Atlas Academy hoping to temporarily second an alchemist to help out.And Sifona Abel is the candidate deduced from the three-pointed monument [Pseudo-spiritual Calculator Three-pointed Hermes] located in the center of the Atlas Institute.

In this regard, her mentor Nortris has a positive attitude:

"After the three-pointed Hermes came to a conclusion, it was almost an absolute order. You are still young, so go out and have a look...Remember, Sifna, never violate the only and absolute commandment of the 'Atlas House'... ..."

"Understood, [the results of my own research can only be disclosed to myself]."

Sifna instinctively recited the only commandment of Atlas House.

"Although the holders of the seven contracts created in the early days of the Institute, the Atlas Institute will make an exception to assist them, and the precepts are also invalid. However, once the Atlas Institute knows that you have passed the knowledge to the contract You will face endless pursuit."

"I understand, teacher."

"...Take this." Saying this, Instructor Nautilus handed Sifna a small box embellished with rubies and gold.

"This is?"

Sifna picked up the box curiously, and found that the box had been sealed by the secret technique of the Atlas Academy.

"An imitation of [Sage's Stone]."

Instructor Nortris sighed:

"This is a [source level] resource that can be obtained publicly. Although it is only a small fragment, it undoubtedly has the effect of the Philosopher's Stone. Since one of the seven contracts can be produced, the magician must be Facing a huge problem that is difficult for you to handle, it is always a good thing for you to be more prepared when you go out this time."

"Thank you, teacher."

Sifna's departure appeared to be in a hurry, and she didn't even prepare a salute, and she was brought to the passage leading to the outside world of the Atlas Court with only the box containing the imitation fragments of the Philosopher's Stone.

There, Sifna met a magician holding a contract.

It was a black-haired beauty holding a black umbrella in her hand, with an exquisite appearance and indistinguishable gender.The other party was wearing a Japanese-style male high school black school uniform, just quietly watching Shi Funa walking towards him.

Without any extra nonsense, the two left the Atlas courtyard one after the other and came to the city of Melisis.

Knowing that his mission this time is to help the opponent win the Holy Grail War, he even needs to participate in the battle as the master.Of course, this mysterious magician named Arimura Kirina has made a contract that he will never do anything that endangers Sifona's safety.

Sifna is not dissatisfied. For her, it is important to resolve this matter as soon as possible and return to the Atlas Institute to continue studying the Philosopher's Stone.

This senseless attitude continued until half a month ago.

During the grand summoning ceremony, the holy relic that Arimura Kiri prepared for him did not work at all, but the box in his arms glowed intensely.

[Nicolas Flamel], who has a deep relationship with himself, responded to the call of the Holy Grail War and participated in the battle as a CASTER class.

According to Nicole's claim that she is not dead, responding to the master's call is only out of interest in the Holy Grail system.

A woman full of lies, Sifna saw through Nicole's true nature at just the first glance.But she didn't care, because Nicole promised to pass on her alchemy knowledge to her as much as possible.

As for the problem of Sifona's lack of magic circuits and the inability to provide enough magic power, Nicole Flamel also solved related problems through the Philosopher's Stone.

Sifna has never felt that [dream] is so close to her like now.As long as he learned Nicole Flamel's knowledge of alchemy, he would be able to take the place of a mentor immediately after returning to the Atlas Academy, right?Even the position of [Six Sources] is at your fingertips!
No matter what Murakami, Shutendouji, or even Nicole Flamel are secretly doing, Sifna doesn't care.

"So, what is the purpose of your coming to the lab? It shouldn't be because you are interested in teaching me how to make a Philosopher's Stone, right?"

In the empty experimental hall, Sifna wore rubber gloves and held a scalpel and tools, operating in the abdominal cavity of the human man who was the experimental subject, and the hoarse and painful cries of the experimental subject kept ringing in her ears.

"No, Mr. Wuming has conveyed the order of the King of Hundred Ghosts, hoping that we can officially open the Great Barrier to meet the upcoming decisive battle."

Nicole said while playing with a gemstone with a smile.

"It's finally time for this Holy Grail War to come to an end. I've been waiting for a long time. Let's start without further ado."

Sylphona took off the blood-stained rubber gloves and threw them aside, and took out the box from her bosom:
"This is the [Key Stone], the passage to open the [Future], and the temple called [Ultimate]."

The box in her hand automatically opened the lid, revealing a small piece of crimson in a semi-solid state inside.

In Nicole Flamel's hand also emerged a huge book made of delicate and smooth young bark, the cover was tightly wrapped in brass, and it was engraved with words or strange symbols.Open the cover, there are 7 groups of 3 pages, including the home page, and the seventh page of each group has no text.But on the seventh page of the first set, there is a drawing of a wand being swallowed by a giant snake.

Nicole's voice sounded leisurely, echoing in the huge empty cave:

"This is [Answer], the weapon to end [Hope], and the universe named [Immortal]."

The pattern on the pages of the book shone with dazzling light, followed by Nicole as the center, and an extremely huge and complicated pattern appeared under her feet. This is a huge magic circle called [Immortality].

A large amount of light shines everywhere at the nodes of the magic circle, which are countless shards of the Philosopher's Stone!
This magic circle, which can only be constructed by using a large number of sage's stones, continues to expand outwards at a rapid speed, crossing the mountains, covering the entire Panahakes Mountains, deeply penetrating into the earth and spiritual veins, and finally forming an indestructible super giant Enchantment.
