Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 578 Topps' Research
"hiss……"

Lu Yexin said that it would be difficult now.

There is only one key, which means that only one person can enter?

"What's the matter, your face looks a little ugly." Tops asked with concern.

"I still have some companions here." Lu Ye said, "If there is only one key, they won't be able to get in."

"Really? But the solution is very simple," Tops said, stroking his mustache. "Don't you have an academy pyroxene key in your hand? Go in first, and get some more keys for your companions." Isn't that all right?"

"Yeah, that's the reason." It's not like Lu Ye didn't think of this method, "But didn't you say that every magician has only one key of pyroxene in the academy, and low-level magicians don't have such valuable things. lost..."

"Oh, you are worried about this." Tops' expression relaxed, "Don't worry, the guys in the academy won't come out easily, they are all a group of researchers who are obsessed with the stars. At least as far as I know Inside, there are quite a few guys who don't care about the key, because for them, the pyroxene key is just a useless thing that doesn't come in handy."

Lu Yexin said it was true.

Since they don't go out, the keys are like waste products to the group of magicians in the academy.

"That's it..." Lu Ye looked at Tops and asked, "Can you please tell me about the current situation inside the college, such as the college's attitude towards outsiders, or what should I do after I go in? Of course, I will also help you find a key."

"Is the college's attitude towards outsiders... I don't know much about this." Topps touched his bald head in embarrassment, "When I left the college, the college had just finished the opening ceremony of the new class. Broken War After it started, the college was closed, so I don't know if the college is recruiting new students... To be honest, I don't even know what it looks like inside now."

Lu Ye thought about it, and thought that this was a difficult point.

No one knows the current situation inside the Rhea Lucaria Academy of Magic.

Going in rashly is also dangerous.

"Or... I can check the situation for you," Tops said, "if you can trust me. Anyway, I am also a member of the academy, and I know many magicians."

"It makes sense." Lu Ye said, "Excuse me, what is the specific principle of the magic seal outside the academy?"

"The principle is to isolate the inside from the outside."

Topps picked up a branch on the ground and drew two square boxes on the surface of the ground, one big and one small, and the small box was inside the big box.

"Like these two boxes," Topps said.

"I would like to hear the details." Lu Ye signaled him to continue.

"You see, the big square outside is the world we usually live in, and the magic seal is to isolate the gap between the small box and the big box. No matter who does what outside, it will not affect the small box inside."

"For example, birds that can fly in the sky?" Lu Ye asked.

"Yes." Tops nodded, "Let's say it's a bird, even a dragon is useless in front of the seal that contains the essence and painstaking efforts of Rhea Lucaria for hundreds of years. It can destroy magic. The academy is reckless, but even if it turns the entire magic academy upside down, there will be no shadow of a single person. Because the real magic academy is in a small box, not a big box..."

Lu Ye understood, this is probably similar to the meaning of "plane".

Now this Rhea Lucaria Academy of Magic exists, but there is no one in it, it is just an empty shell.

The real Rhea Lucaria Academy of Magic can only be reached through that seal.

Seeing Lu Ye thinking silently, Tops scratched his head and said: "It may be abstract when I say this now, but you will understand after you go there. When you stand in front of that seal, you will find that you can do whatever you want. To pass through it is like passing through a passage of air. But without the key, one will never be able to go to the real Real Lucaria Academy of Magic."

"Yes, I know, but the key is... I want to know whether the difference between the big and small boxes can be affected by external forces."

"That depends on how you define 'external force,'" Topps said. "If you want to find the small box by destroying the big box outside, there's no way. That magical barrier gathers the essence of the academy, unless there is a Stronger magicians to decipher its mysteries."

"What about a more 'gentle' way?" Lu Ye said, "For example, inside the Academy of Magic, instead of using a seal, build a channel with the outside world in another way?"

"Oh, that's okay. Originally, the principle of the two seals at the entrance of the college is like this, separate, and then build a bridge between the two..." But then Topps shook his head, "But, it can be done This kind of people can be said to be very small in the magic academy, as you can see from the two seals. It is the joint efforts of the professors, coupled with the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors, to build the seal that isolates the academy from the outside world."

"It's okay, this is enough." Lu Ye said.

"Ok?"

"No, here's the key." Lu Ye patted Tops on the shoulder, then handed him the pyroxene key.

"You... want me to go? Do you trust me?"

"I will go with you."

"But……"

"Just go in with the key." Lu Ye said, "If you fail, then the task of getting the key is up to you."

"Ok."

Seeing Lu Ye's determination, Tops didn't hesitate any longer and took the key.

"Wait, before we leave, I have to deal with one thing, you wait for me here."

After speaking, Lu Ye left immediately.

He returned to the place where he was buried before, put his palms together in front of the small mound, and bowed respectfully.

"Offended, old man."

After speaking, Lu Ye dug him out without any hesitation.

He took off the academic robe on the man, took off the strange hood, and put it in the backpack.

Topps hadn't entered the academy for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on inside.

In order to deal with emergencies, it was necessary for Lu Ye to prepare a disguise.

And this wide dark blue robe and the portrait hood that completely covers the face are the perfect camouflage.

However, after taking off the man's clothes, Lu Ye found that there was a thin layer of blue-green crystals on the surface of the man's skin, which prevented his body from further decay.

After getting ready, Lu Ye returned to the Church of Elis, and headed to the road leading to the Rhea Lucaria Academy of Magic with Tops.

Walking in the misty lake, Tops ate taiyaki while looking at Lu Ye cautiously ahead.

"Well, don't worry, there are basically only some platinum sons and prawns in this lake." Topps said, "Although there are some ghosts, but don't worry, they are basically in the ruins of Elis."

"Hush..." Lu Ye turned around, "I'm not wary of these things."

"Then what are you doing?" Topps asked suspiciously.

"Watch for any movement of the dragon." Lu Ye said.

"dragon?"

"Well, a dragon on the lake on the west side of the college has made some trouble with her, so it's not convenient."

"You mean the pyroxene dragon Smarag, right?" Topps said now, "strange, it shouldn't be."

"What shouldn't?"

"Smarag is very kind to people. Sometimes she will help people who get lost in the lake to go out, and sometimes she will give pointers to magicians who come to ask for advice. Of course, that was before the Broken War started. Now...she is a good person...no, a good dragon, except for her unforgiving mouth, she is very good in other places."

Lu Ye was taken aback.

No wonder that guy hasn't disposed of the magician's body.

Because Smarag did not know how to dispose of corpses according to human customs, and the magic academy was closed, no other magicians came in and out, and she would not ask other people for help due to her personality, so she simply put it on the corpse first. It's embalmed there...

It really has the style of the female dragon.

"Compared to this, I'm more curious. What kind of trouble did you have with her?" Tops asked.

"It's nothing, it just turned her into a human, and I'm probably furious now."

"What?!" Tops almost couldn't hold the taiyaki in his hand.

"How do you do it?" he asked.

"A little bit of the power of the primitive life melting pot." Lu Ye said, "Don't worry, she will find a solution. There seem to be other dragons in the dragon clan who can transform."

"But why are you doing this?"

"Being scolded, just teach her a lesson."

"It's too messy," Tops shook his head slightly. "Smarag's catchphrase is 'you low bastards', and you don't have to take it to heart."

"I don't care about it. If my companions don't care about it, then it's okay."

"Well, it's no wonder that you guys are getting to know Smarag for the first time, so it's normal to be angry."

Tops thought of the girls around Lu Ye.

When Lu Ye and his party came down in the morning, they even brought him some taiyaki.

"What about you?" Lu Ye asked, "You said you were going back to the academy to do research, what is that?"

"Um... It's a bit embarrassing to say, I'm researching a new kind of magic."

"Oh, what kind of magic is that?"

"That's another use for stars..."

"I don't quite understand." Lu Ye said honestly.

"Sorry, because I haven't finished the theoretical stage, so it's not very good for me to describe it to you in detail, because the later experiments may differ from the theory. However, I can talk to you about the reasons why I study it."

"All ears." Lu Ye said, just hurrying to pass the boredom.

"The reason why I study this new magic is because of my teacher."

"teacher?"

"When I left the academy, it was to collect some materials." Topps said, "then the Shattered War began. I couldn't go back to the academy, and I didn't have much strength. I just wanted to hide. Fortunately, there were not too many wars." It broke out in the area of ​​Lienia, but even so, I saw the cruelty of war. Among the soldiers who charged forward, there were also magicians, and Haimo was among them."

"Magician?"

Lu Ye felt strange.

In order to avoid being affected by the war, didn't the magic academy set up a seal at the gate?
"Yes, most of the magicians who graduate from the academy will stay in the academy to teach and continue to study pyroxene. There are also some magicians who will choose to leave and embark on their own path. However, the magician Haimo is not for fame and fortune. He believes that the exploration of the stars cannot be hidden behind the door, and he thinks that it is just escaping for safety."

"So you went to war?"

"Yes." Topps nodded, "Although the academy always adopts an attitude of avoiding wars, at the same time, the academy will not interfere with the actions of magicians, so the pyroxene key appears. Highmore went to the battlefield together, as well as his apprentices, they took advantage of the opportunity of the war to sharpen their pyroxene magic, making it more handy and more powerful... But this is wrong."

"They only care about these things, ignoring the pain of the people swept by the war." Topps said, "Although I have always understood the tireless spirit of the mentors in the academy to explore the mysteries of the origin of the stars, but those of Highmore I really can't agree with people's behavior... I once talked to them, but I was driven away. They said that I am not a popular magician at all. I know this and I don't intend to refute it, but I also firmly believe that , they have gone astray."

"Originally, pyroxene magic was just a way to study stars, a derivative. It is a process of studying the origin and mysteries of stars, but now it has become a means of war and killing people. I want to eliminate this phenomenon, so in Researching this aspect of magic is not enough on my own. I need to go back to the academy, consult the precious documents and books, and learn knowledge from them to complete it. This is why I insist on returning to the academy. "

Has the pyroxene magic, which was born to study the origin and mystery of the stars, become a means of killing people...?
This reminded Lu Ye of gunpowder.

At first it was only used as an ornamental firework, but later it also became a sharp weapon to break through the country.

There are frequent tricks on how to deal with the same kind, no matter which parallel world humans are, they are all surprisingly similar.

It didn't take long for Lu Ye and Tops to arrive at the Rhea Lucaria Academy of Magic.

The gate town in front of the college was terrible, and it was also in ruins. It failed to escape the spread of the war.

The bridge from Gate Town to the south gate of Rhea Lucaria Academy of Magic was also blown up.

Lu Ye quickly found Violet and the others.

After seeing Tops, several people did not seem very surprised, because they met once in the morning.

"It's just in time, I have some bad news for you." Estes looked at the huge city wall, "I used icicles to lift myself up and took a look inside, but there seemed to be no one in the academy, it was very strange .”

"Oh, about this..."

Lu Ye started talking to Violet and the others about the seal.

　Thank you for your rewards
