After waking up

In the corridor outside, Mulan's footsteps were getting faster and faster. He felt that Lu En's words made sense.

It is certainly impossible for Lu En to understand that Mulan uses fate to refer to holy objects, but there is some truth in his use of greed and desire in people's hearts and various negative references to the teasing of fate in the title.

In fact, although the so-called holy objects are a manifestation of the power of evil gods, in the final analysis, their birth is related to greed and desire. Similarly, for this world, their existence itself is negative.

The emergence of dawn is, in a sense, the burning of spiritual flames and the turning of spirit into weapons.

Is the materialization of spirit possible?

This is a direction that Mulan has not thought about, and it is also a direction that he has not studied, but he feels that it is valuable for verification.

To convert some invisible substances and invisible forces into tangible media, the first thing Mulan thought of was alchemy.

As Mullan walked quickly, he arrived at Matt's house in less than ten minutes.

Now is the time when the new issue of "Truth and Magic" is about to be published. Matt has already received a trial copy in advance and is reading it carefully at home.

Although this issue of the Magic Journal does not have any explosive results, it is still worth savoring, and there are many external submissions worth studying.

Mullan's arrival directly interrupted what Matt was doing and explained his purpose concisely.

In the living room of Matt's house, he frowned and thought about what Mulan said.

"Weaponized spirit? Amulet?"

Amulets or similar alchemical items are passive with obvious spiritual tendencies, and the power of asylum is also activated accordingly, so Matt thought of this immediately.

"No, it's not an ordinary talisman. Although it's hard to describe, I mean something purer, more lethal, and more indestructible."

"Do you understand what I mean? It's that feeling of being led by the spirit and having a will as strong as steel that is indestructible."

Matt frowned, then looked up at Mulan.

"I seem to understand somewhat."

"Do you really understand?"

Mulan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He felt that he didn't explain it clearly.

But Matt nodded.

"Because before you, someone told me something similar, at least the concept is very close."

"What? Who?"

Mulan's tone was slightly excited, but he realized that it was definitely not possible for someone else to want to destroy the holy object, perhaps because of the development of the magic field.

Matt laughed.

"As you know, this person is Professor Alofa. He mentioned a similar idea to me, but I think he must be more than just an idea."

Because they jointly published a paper last time and received an extremely strong response, Alofa's attitude towards Matt has significantly improved, and he is more willing to occasionally discuss alchemy with him.

When he heard Mullan's description at this moment, Matt immediately remembered the closest content.

"This is a relatively unfamiliar field. Although it is close to some alchemical treasure making, it is actually absolutely different. Alofa is indeed crazy. He wants to open up a new path to alchemy."

Good guy, Alofa, this sinister person, actually wants to establish a sect, and it is the kind that deduces new martial arts.

"He's very ambitious!"

"From an alchemist's point of view, he is ideal."

Mulan nodded slightly and joked.

"Am I too prejudiced against him?"

After hearing this, Matt quickly shook his head.

"They are two different things. You have absolutely no prejudice against him. He is ambitious and ideal, but he is still a gloomy alchemist. Sometimes I cooperate with him to do some small experiments, and I can see the volatilization of the resentful spirit on his body. ."

This situation is basically that Alofa has killed someone recently, and resentment surrounds him, but it is just resentment and does not constitute harm at all.

"Let's go find him."

Mulan didn't want to see Alofa, but he decided to go there this time.

"What us? Can't you just go by yourself?"

"Are they friends?"

"Yes, but these are two different things. The more familiar you are with that guy, the more relaxed he becomes and the more neurotic he becomes."

As Matt spoke, he suddenly looked at Mulan.

"I feel like you're about the same. No, no, you're not that dangerous."

Mulan smiled, sometimes it feels like one can be deceived.

"Let's go, we published a paper together after all."

After all the talk, Matt followed Mulan to Alofa's alchemy house. The closer he got to the alchemy house, the sparser the surrounding vegetation, and in the back there were simply withered flowers, plants and trees.

As soon as the two of them stood at the door, the door was opened from the inside, and Alofa rushed out excitedly.

"I feel you guys coming, hurry up, hurry up, you're here just in time, I have something good to show you!"

Alofa seemed very excited, and Mulan and Matt cautiously followed him to the underground laboratory. There were various utensils everywhere, and it looked more like a biological culture laboratory.

"You came just in time, you came just in time, you are the only one in the whole black castle who can understand me, only you can understand me, hurry up!"

There was something wrong with Alofa's mental state, and Mulan didn't want to irritate him, so the two of them followed him to a row of vessels with small alchemical formations at the bottom.

"This is."

Mulan's eyes widened slightly. There was red substance inside these vessels. Under the action of the alchemy formation, it showed a constant change and flow of luster.

"That's right, Professor Jones, they were cultivated with your blood! But they are not entities, but an intangible state!"

Alofa clenched his fists, then grabbed a bottle on the experimental table and poured two sips of liquid into his mouth.

"There are six vessels left here, and they have existed stably for a long time. This is a breakthrough, a breakthrough! Professor Jonest!"

Alofa suddenly turned around and looked at Mulan, his eyes gleaming, making Mulan feel a little creepy.

"Give me some more blood, give me some more."

"Professor Alofa, I will consider the blood matter later. In fact, we came to you because we have something else to ask you."

Alofa gritted his teeth.

"Give me blood and I'll help!"

Mulan's mouth twitched slightly.

"I can give you a small jar."

"Hahahahaha, okay, you can give me as much as you want! Tell me what it is, and after I solve your problem, I will tell you about my achievements!"

As Alofa spoke, he was still tinkering with the things in his hands. He looked very busy and his words were full of confidence. He seemed to think that no matter what questions Mullan and Matt raised, they would not be able to trouble him.

Matt thought for a moment and looked at the utensils again.

"Actually, Mulan suddenly proposed an alchemical idea of ​​turning spiritual weapons into reality today, and wanted to discuss the feasibility with me. I thought of you, Professor Alofa, so I couldn't wait to come over with him."

Alofa paused while tinkering with the experimental equipment. He raised his head slightly and slowly turned to look at Mulan, who felt his scalp numb.

"Professor Jonest, why didn't you choose the path of alchemy? If I could have stood up and let you choose alchemy, we would have become best friends."

As Alofa spoke, his body began to tremble slightly, and his excitement level obviously increased by more than one level.

"Professor Alofa, please calm down. Although I am a Shining Knight, I am equally passionate about alchemy."

"Yes, yes, hahahahahahahahahahahaha"

Alofa laughed nervously, and Matt took a step back subconsciously.

"Spiritual weaponization has become a reality. This description is very appropriate! This is also the breakthrough direction I am seeking! There has been no innovation in alchemy for hundreds of years, and all that is being tinkered with is old knowledge."

“Although there are many great things, there is no vitality without innovation!”

Professor Alofa grabbed Mulan's hand and pulled him back to the vessel.

"This is my breakthrough, and it is also the question you want to ask. Spirit needs a carrier. It is difficult for us to forge spirit in the same way as normal weapons. I have tried to directly forge living creatures into weapons, but they all failed. , even the most vicious people in the water prison of the imperial capital cannot bear that kind of torture."

A few sentences seemed to contain some bloody horror, but Alofa did not go into details.

"But your blood gave me a glimmer of hope at the beginning. Why is wolfsbane ineffective on you? It's because your blood actually has a strong spiritual will!"

Alofa dug out a lot of things from the information cabinet on one side. Information and papers kept falling on the ground, but he did not pick them up. Soon he found a pile of information and placed it on the experimental table.

There are photos of Silver Mane, some images and anatomy data of infected people, as well as blood and flesh observation data.

"Silvermane's poison is an extremely powerful wolfsbane. His toxin is corrosive. It is corrosive on the physical and mental levels, especially the mental level. It does not act directly on the brain, but on the mental breakthrough at the blood cell level. , and your blood can completely resist and even produce antibodies, this is all because of the specialness of the spiritual will. This is before you enter reality, which is different from the resistance of other extraordinary beings, this."

Alofa began to chatter non-stop, and Mulan kept flipping through the information. It was obvious that he had indeed hidden a large part of the original report. If Mulan could accuse Alofa of violating the regulations as a member of the Ministry of Magic.

"You mean, the materialization of my blood and spirit is related to the research on weaponization?"

"Yes! Your blood, to be precise, is the blood of a person with a highly pure will. Of course, this is considering that blood regeneration is the most convenient if the entire body can be used."

Mulan quickly interrupted Alofa.

"Indeed, blood can be accumulated slowly without ruining future research, and it can truly break through the difficulties in characteristics and changes. With the expansion of technology, the screening conditions can be relaxed and replaced by ordinary materials. The development of alchemy starts from the discovery of breakthroughs. and continuous improvement and simplification.”

Alofa became more agitated.

"Yes, yes! That's right! Professor Jonest, you might as well stay here and study with me. We can create a new future for alchemy!"

"Professor Alofa, your idea is great. Although it is radical, every step of the development of alchemy is promoted by alchemists like you!"

Alofa was even more excited, and these words coming out of Mulan's mouth made him feel so beautiful.

"I am willing to support your research. No, I want to participate in your research together. Although I am not a professional alchemist, I have made some achievements. If Matt and I help, we will definitely make progress faster!"

Matt is scolding me on the side, please don’t get involved with me.

But when Alofa looked over excitedly, Matt could only hold on to his composure and grin.

"Uh-huh, yes."

Are these two people mentally a little abnormal?

"Thank you, thank you! My friends, thank you for supporting me!"

Alofa was so excited that Mulan rolled up his sleeves and started drawing blood.

In order to integrate faster, of course Mullan and Matt studied Alofa's previous information, and the latter actually agreed directly.

To a certain extent, Alofa is indeed sincere in creating a future for alchemy, even somewhat selflessly.
