Lord of Rot

Scholar Thomas, who didn't realize that he had become a "wonderful person" in Li Qi's eyes, asked: "Do you want to buy the magic alchemy items I made?"

Li Qi looked at the room. It was in a mess. Clothes and socks were scattered everywhere. It was difficult to find a place to stay. There were also several glass bottles and jars placed on the chair.

The smell is very strange, not a bad smell, but the smell of magic potion, very pungent.

He gave up the idea of ​​sitting down, nodded and said, "Can you show me a few?"

Li Qi has always had a high interest in magic alchemy items.

"Haha, let me show you my collection! Please wait a moment!" Scholar Thomas left quickly.

Li Qi was worried that the Thomas scholar would simply forget about him after saying "please wait a moment", but fortunately this did not happen.

Soon, Scholar Thomas came over with four or five boxes.

He did not open the box directly, but said to Li Qi: "When I was an apprentice, I once sat and took a nap under the apple tree, but an apple fell from the tree and hit me on the head."

Li Qi's eyes widened in shock.

His heart couldn't help but beat faster. Could it be that he had picked up a big shot.

Scholar Thomas continued: "I asked my teacher why the apple fell from the tree instead of running up, but my teacher couldn't give an answer."

"Then what?" Li Qi asked.

"Then I started researching." Scholar Thomas was very satisfied with Li Qi's questioning. He said: "I researched for many years. Even after I became a scholar, my research did not stop. Finally, I discovered that there is a force on the ground. This This force will pull everything to fall to the ground. I call this force gravity."

This is it! Li Qi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Is the Thomas scholar not a useless scholar, but a magic Newton?

Just when Li Qi made up his mind to kidnap the other party back to the porcupine collar, Scholar Thomas opened a box with a stone inside: "This is the result of my research."

"This is...?" Li Qi asked with his eyes. After receiving a nod from the other party, he picked up the stone.

I held it in my hand and weighed it, but there was nothing special about it.

"This is a gravity detection stone!" Thomas scholar said very seriously: "As long as there is gravity, this stone can detect it."

"How to test?" Li Qi asked.

Scholar Thomas said: "If you throw a stone out, it will have gravity as it falls."

Li Qi's hand trembled, and he almost hit the Thomas scholar's face with a stone using his master-level throwing skills.

"I think an ordinary piece of stone can do it."

"This is a magic alchemy object, not an ordinary stone." Scholar Thomas shook his head.

No wonder he was called a useless scholar, Li Qi suddenly realized.

Maybe I shouldn't have come today.

Li Qi silently put the gravity detection stone back into the box.

"Please take a look at this." Scholar Thomas opened the second box, which was empty.

"What is this?" Li Qi asked.

Could it be that Thomas scholars created something similar to the [Invisible Pot]?

"The Ring of Invisibility" Thomas scholar said: "A ring that is exquisitely crafted but completely invisible."

"..."

If you can't see the ring, why wear it?

Li Qi reached out and grabbed it, and indeed got a ring. He asked with a thought: "Can it be made bigger?"

If it were completely invisible, maybe it could be made into a transparent weapon.

Sneak attacks work wonders.

But there was a prerequisite, he had to be able to see it and catch it. If it weren't for the touch on his fingers, Li Qi would be completely unable to catch the ring with his naked eyes.

"No, and now we can only make rings."

Okay, junk items.

Li Qi made a motion to put the ring back into the box. In fact, the ring was still in his palm, and then Scholar Thomas closed the box.

Yes, even Thomas scholars can’t see it!

Scholar Thomas continued: "And this, I made it by studying space magic."

Li Qi, who had no expectations, became interested again after hearing about "space magic".

Such as storage rings, traceless stretching suitcases, etc. I believe no one can resist a magic storage item.

Scholar Thomas opened the third box.

"A deerskin bag?" Li Qi was surprised.

It looks like a very ordinary deerskin bag that can hold about 3 loaves of bread.

"That's right." Scholar Thomas smiled: "I studied the documents of previous scholars and ancient records, and finally succeeded in making this space bag."

"Can I take a look?" Li Qi asked.

"please!"

Li Qi took the bag, opened it, took a look inside, and asked, "How much can it hold? A carriage, or a set of armor?"

"How can it hold so much!" Scholar Thomas shook his head, as if he was frightened, and then said: "It can hold so much."

As he spoke, Scholar Thomas picked up a cup at hand and put it into the bag.

That small cup is only half the size of a loaf of bread.

After waiting for a moment, Scholar Thomas made no follow-up action. Li Qi couldn't help but ask: "That's all?"

"Yes, that's all." Scholar Thomas nodded affirmatively.

Waste scholar, that’s what it is!

"Have you ever thought about expanding the space inside?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't do it." Scholar Thomas shook his head: "This is already the limit."

"If you can make it the size of a ring and hold a cup like this, it seems possible," said Li Qi.

Scholar Thomas shook his head: "Impossible! This is the smallest size I can shrink to."

"If we use a wine barrel, how much can it hold?" Li Qi asked.

"There are still so many" he smiled.

You are quite proud!

Although Li Qi really admired Thomas scholars, who were familiar with gravity, invisibility, space and other knowledge, and his knowledge reserve may have surpassed the Tawen scholars in Iron Stone City, but the things he produced were of no use at all.

"besides……"

"All right!"

Li Qi stopped Scholar Thomas's introduction. He was afraid that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage if he continued reading: "Actually, I'm not here to buy anything this time. I want to ask some other questions."

"Intellectual discussion, of course!"

Scholar Thomas put away his rare magic items and motioned for Li Qi to ask questions.

"I want to know as the tide of magic emerges and people have extraordinary power. Is this power roughly divided into levels?"

This was also one of Li Qilai's intentions, to find a knowledgeable scholar to ask his doubts.

"The Emergence of the Tide of Magic" Scholar Thomas didn't seem to expect that a lord would ask such a question. He was slightly surprised and said: "I think a more accurate name for extraordinary power is human evolution."

"Evolution?" Li Qi suspected that Thomas scholars also studied biology.

"Yes, after becoming a transcendent, the body no longer belongs to ordinary humans and begins to possess various strange abilities." Scholar Thomas said: "I have seen it in many documents, and I think this group of people are moving towards a more normal life." For high-level evolution, I should first explain what evolution is.”

"No, I know evolution," said Li Qi, "just like humans evolved from monkeys."

"Haha, it's an interesting hypothesis, although it's a bit ridiculous," Thomas scholar said with a smile, "but at least it's more reasonable than the church. Those people are talking about gods every day. In my opinion, gods also evolved from humans."

"Did God evolve from humans?"

Scholar Thomas nodded: "In many myths and legends of Lurea continent, there is evidence that people can become gods, so the level division you mentioned, I think it should refer to different stages of a life form."

"Probably?"

"It can be roughly divided into three stages. After all, I am not even in the first stage. But as far as I know, the church calls it a saint, a holy messenger, and a legend. Some tribes consider the giant's foot to be a high priest, a demigod, and a god." Scholar Thomas said: "Each stage is a different state. Unfortunately, there are too few documents. One thing is certain, the adult dragon is a legend."

Of the three life stages, the Water Fairy is most likely in the second stage, but as the second stage, she shouldn't be killed so easily. Unfortunately, we can't see her memory and can't determine the specific reason.

Li Qi suddenly felt something was wrong, because the Thomas scholar's tone was very firm: "Have you ever seen a giant dragon?"

"Heard the sound from far away."

"There really is a dragon!" Li Qi suddenly felt that it was not impossible to fulfill the necromancer's last wish and make a ghoul dragon.

But there are three difficulties here, one is to find the dragon, the other is to kill the dragon, and the third is to control the dragon made into a corpse.

Li Qi gained a lot from the exchanges with Thomas scholars.

I know that it is roughly divided into three stages, although knowing these stages is of little significance.

Like the Water Fairy, Li Qi felt like he had no idea where to start.

So, he extended his olive branch: "Scholar Thomas, I don't know if you are interested in my territory. You just need to work for me, and I can provide you with funds to support your research."

"Sorry, you are from..."

"Porcupine Collar"

"Yes, porcupine collar, I've heard of it."

Judging from the expression, I’ve never heard of it!

Li Qi did not forcefully correct the other party, but asked: "How is it?"

"Of course, I'd love to!"

Judging from Scholar Thomas's expression, it was as if he had caught someone who had been taken advantage of.

Li Qi was very happy. As long as the other party had knowledge, he could let him play a role. Moreover, Thomas Scholar's knowledge had been confirmed, but the finished product left people speechless.

There will definitely be no loss in bringing in talents, well... probably no loss at all.
