perfect savior

Chapter 5 Magic Knowledge
"Well, Lai Lixun, hiss!" (What I see with my eyes, burn!)

In the ward, Lu Yuan held his breath, staring intently at the mixture of cotton wool and paper scraps on the table, and uttered strange and ancient syllables.

This is a common spell in that magic civilization, the burning fire spell.

Perhaps it is the strange commonality of advanced intelligent life, the instincts engraved in the genes of humans on earth and magical civilizations are "how to light a fire".

On Earth, making fire in the wild is the most important survival skill for an outdoor explorer.

In the magical world, the Burning Fire Curse is also the first elementary magic that every magic apprentice learns.

It can be said that burning fire is the simplest and most popular magic.

In the wizarding world, there is a classic quip - oh, my lord, that old hound used the Burning Fire Charm just now!I swear I saw it.

The burning spell has a very low barrier to use, it can be done by an individual, even a dog can learn it.

But Lu Yuan couldn't do it.

For the whole morning, he concentrated and chanted the spell continuously, but the extremely flammable cotton wool and paper scraps did not change at all, not to mention the flame, even the temperature did not change.

"It's bad, my talent is not as good as a dog's?" Lu Yuan's face was not very good-looking, he took a sip of water, moistened his hoarse throat, thought carefully for a while, and denied this judgment:
"No, it can't be a matter of talent. There are only two requirements for the Burning Curse: correct pronunciation, and a certain concentration of magic power in the air."

"My pronunciation is very standard, and I can clearly distinguish flat and narrow."

"And I remember that those who are favored by the gods will be blessed by the mother god, at least they will be baptized in the talent of magic. I can't be mediocre, at least I am a little magic genius!"

"As for a certain concentration of magic factors, the requirement for the Burning Fire Technique is [-] million to [-]... This ratio is quite exaggerated, equivalent to pouring a bottle of Coke into [-] West Lakes!"

"So," Lu Yuan paused, and deduced the fact that made him helpless:

"There is no magic factor on Earth..."

"That's right, I should have thought from the very beginning that if there was such a thing as magic power, this world shouldn't be like this."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath. Although he had already made mental preparations, it was impossible not to be disappointed.

The power of magical civilization is his only life-saving straw. To overcome terminal illness, supernatural power is indispensable.

Lu Yuan gazed at the distant sea for a while, his thoughts slowly calmed down.

He is a person who loves the ocean, otherwise he would not choose to spend his life in this nursing home. After becoming the mother god's favored person, he has more and more affection for the ocean. Lu Yuan feels that if he has enough His physical strength is absolutely capable of swimming hundreds of meters in one breath.

"Then... try alchemy."

The name "Alchemy" was translated by Lu Yuan himself. In fact, according to the standard definition of magical civilization, this school should be translated as "the interaction between soul and matter and the production methodology of the universal ether".

This school has great influence in the magical civilization, and it can be said to be a prominent school.

Its theory can be broadly summarized as "by understanding the matter and the soul in the matter, to create unique supernatural power, until touching the almighty ether."

Or, "Gewu, become a god!"

But the name of this school is too long, how good is the word alchemy?Easy to understand and catchy!
In fact, from the very beginning, Lu Yuan pinned most of his hopes on this.

The profound meaning of alchemy in the magical world is nothing more than studying matter and its soul, and then mastering supernatural power. Magisters don't care about the microscopic structure of metal, but focus on the "soul of metal" that inhabits it!
Geoscientists study atomic physics and molecular structure.

The great magister directly dissects the soul of metal and observes the spirit of wood and stone!
Although they are completely different, they are all serious science... right?

Well, it's all about studying the most general laws of motion and the basic structure of matter, almost the same~
Lu Yuan put away the paper scraps and cotton wadding, without dawdling any longer, pushed the joystick, the electric wheelchair moved with rustling, and soon left his ward.

To experiment with alchemy, one must have substances.

Although water, copper and iron can be seen everywhere, the introduction to alchemy must start with the simplest substances.

In the last dream of the Mother Goddess, although most of the knowledge of magic has disappeared, the accumulation of a glorious civilization with a long history is terrifying, and the remaining knowledge is enough for Lu Yuan to spend a lifetime sorting out and interpreting.

Lu Yuan naturally knew the most common "homework" for alchemy apprentices at the beginning.

However, when Lu Yuan went out to collect alchemy materials, a small episode happened.

In front of the A-02 ward where Su Ranqing was located, there were two people standing.

A man and a woman, both wearing dark suits, the woman holds a tablet in her hand, looking like a subordinate.

They seemed to be talking in low voices just now, but when they saw Lu Yuan in a wheelchair, they all shut up cautiously and nodded with a smile.

Quite polite...but not like a bodyguard, Lu Yuan thought to himself, nodded with a smile, and passed by the two of them.

Never mind him, let's talk about alchemy first.

After confirming that Lu Yuan left without looking back and could not hear their conversation, the woman whispered:

"Old Gao, this person is a patient in Ward A-03, named Lu Yuan, 21 this year, terminally ill, he should not be a spy."

"Well, it can be seen that he has limited mobility, a poor young man." Old Gao nodded:
"Do you even remember the neighbors of the subject of investigation?"

"Here, be prepared, hehe..."

"Haha, I think he is too handsome, so I just subconsciously remember it?" Lao Gao joked, pointing to the tablet computer in the woman's hand:

"Is all Su Ranqing's information here?"

"Well, Su Ranqing, female, the only daughter of the chairman of Xicheng Fengdian Group..."

"I didn't ask you to read the materials. I'm not so old that I can't even remember the basic information of the respondents."

"That is……?"

"This is your first field trip after joining the company. I have to clarify some things first. Why do you think we should investigate her?"

"Because Su Ranqing is a survivor, although there is only a very small probability, from the perspective of criminal investigation, all living people are suspected of being criminals..."

"Haha, Xiao Lin, you are the same as when I was young, only thinking about handling cases." Lao Gao looked at this subordinate who was about the same age as his daughter, and said softly:

"That's right, Xiaolin, you just joined the Special Investigation Bureau, and you haven't figured out the way... Let me tell you, not only Su Ranqing, but everyone related to the Baiyushan incident has been investigated one by one by us. Pay attention, It's an investigation, not an inquiry!"

"Huh? So... this is just a routine... collecting information?"

"Well, all the survivors and witnesses, a total of 740 people, are not suspects!"

"But Lao Gao, our team leader said that Baiyu Mountain is a vicious incident, not a natural disaster..."

"It's not a natural disaster, nor is it a man-made disaster... because the person who committed this thing is probably not a human being!"

Investigator Xiao Lin was dumbfounded. If it wasn't the mature and prudent Lao Gao who said this, she would definitely slap him to death.

not human?

Kobayashi shuddered, feeling that the worldview he had cultivated over the past 20 years was crumbling:
"Then, is that...?"

"I do not know either."

"what?"

"No one knows. In the past two years... Well, in short, the task of our Special Investigation Bureau is to record all these weird events, collect the experiences of everyone who witnessed them, and mix their dictation with audio-visual materials into big data, and then deduce the actual truth..."

"...This seems to be a huge project, and the key is that the efficiency is not high."

"That's right." Lao Gao smiled wryly:

"But we can only use stupid methods, because some things...cannot be explained by science."

He straightened his clothes, took out his ID, and knocked on the door of the ward:
"Hello, is this Miss Su Ranqing Su? We are public officials of the country, and we are here to find out about the situation..."
