Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Magic elements are the foundation of the foundation of magic.

As the skeleton supporting magic, magic element is as important as magic power which is the cornerstone.

The special combination of natural energy and magic power will generate magic element. The sunlight will generate mild light magic element, the burning flame will generate fire magic element, and the surging water magic element in the water will generate fresh water magic element...

They are not static after they are generated, but like a food chain, there is a relationship of transformation, neutralization, reversal and elimination.

"To put it simply, when water magic element and fire magic element meet, they will be annihilated, but under special circumstances, they will promote combustion."

"The relationship between magic elements is not absolute. As long as the conditions are met, any magic element can be transformed into other magic elements."

Irene briefly introduced to Fan Wei what magic element was, then picked up a thunder bug and said, "Let's put it into practice."

"Try to deactivate the thunder element in the beetle's body and reduce it to a mild phase. Then build a communication bridge to test the ring reaction and test the interval ratio value."

A series of complicated names came out of that rosy little mouth, like the whispers of a devil, making Lumina feel a little dizzy.

Not to mention the others, their eyes were blank, dazed, and some even looked a little drowsy.

"I understand." Fan Wei nodded, "Let's balance the thunder magic element first, so it won't be so easily stimulated, right?"

"That's right." With a look of surprise, Irene didn't expect that Fan Wei could actually follow her thinking. As a beginner, this was really incredible!

Her beautiful eyes were filled with more appreciation, "Let me do it and you can watch first."

In fact, if it were the old Fan Wei, his reaction would probably be similar to Rody and the others, but with Irene's "academic master thinking", some of the previous problems can no longer bother him.

Although what Irene said was complicated, most of the confusion came from professional terms. Fan Wei did not try to guess, but combined it with the basic theories she had just taught him.

First guess how to solve the problem, and then match it with the noun.

This is a pretty good understanding.

Some people say that thinking determines success or failure. In a sense, this does make sense. Correct thinking can help you avoid many detours and greatly save time.

Irene is such a person of action.

She first took out the paralyzing potion and injected some into the body of the thunder bug, and then she saw that the active electric light became much quieter.

The special dismantling knife, which is as thin as an ear pick and as sharp as cold iron, starts from the limbs, decomposes the thunderworm bit by bit and peels off its shell.

This process is extremely dangerous. If provoked a little, the crazy bug will explode. Although the alchemy table can provide protection, it means that all previous efforts will be wasted.

As a second-level deacon, just below the department head and tower master, Irene has a steady hand and is very experienced.

She peeled off the entire black insect shell steadily, revealing white flesh with complex networks of light blue blood vessels and meridians densely distributed in it, like a blooming flower.

"This is...the pattern on the back of the beetle." Fan Wei saw the clue.

The blue meridians in the insect's body are the three-dimensional state of the pattern on its back. If it is flattened vertically without causing tissue displacement, it will show the same pattern.

"Yes, I can see it. This is the shape of a magic model."

Irene suddenly realized that the earliest magic of mankind was learned from magical beasts, and some of the structures on their bodies were the most primitive magic models.

The most basic way for humans to release magic is to use mental power to simulate these magic models, and then inject magic elements to release them.

The specific process has become very complicated after thousands of years of development, but we can still glimpse a little bit of the secret of the thunder worm from it.

"If we reverse analyze this magic model..." Irene tried it immediately, but with a flash of lightning, the thunder bug exploded in front of her again.

"Something's not right. Why would something go wrong with such a simple structure?"

Irene studied the residue carefully and found that it was completely blown up, with no magic left.

"Erin, I think the problem is not just about magic."

Fan Wei suddenly said, "The habits of this insect are very strange. Even if it is a monster, it is still a natural creature. Their behavior should be for survival and reproduction."

"But the purpose of the thunder bugs doesn't seem to be that. You said before that they would stop reproducing after forming a group, and would wander around and attack the targets they encountered."

"This goes against the general biological instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm."

Although they have the same academic thinking, Fan Wei and Irene have different knowledge reserves and thinking angles. Irene is engaged in magic research, while Fan Wei focuses on the ecology of monsters.

"I feel that this kind of bug is a bit like a gargoyle. It seems to have been given instructions and is moving according to some rules."

His point of view made Irene stunned, and then she felt suddenly enlightened. She was a smart person, so she naturally understood it immediately.

"You're right. If it's not a natural monster, it's possible that it was man-made."

"Natural monsters usually achieve a dynamic balance with nature. This kind of extremely destructive creature is very likely to have been created with a purpose."

She jumped for joy and leaned forward to look into Fan Wei's eyes.

"You are quite smart, Misr Fan. Do you want to be my disciple? I promise to teach you a lot of things."

"This, this is not good."

Fan Wei smiled awkwardly and wanted to say that he was too old, but when he thought that the person in front of him was Aunt Irene, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

"If you don't want to, forget it. I know that men are very concerned about their reputation. They are such vain creatures~"

Irene made a joke between friends and turned to the butler Zhong and said, "Bruce, help me check the monster encyclopedia records and search for insects related to lightning."

"Yes, Miss Irene." The magical version of artificial intelligence connected to Mo Ke's wisdom center and searched for content from it.

"32 entries were found, involving 11 kinds of monsters, including Thunder Butterfly, Electric Frost Dragon Parasite, Cold Light Centipede..."

"Bring me the information about the Thunder Butterfly." After choosing a monster with the most similar behavior, Irene used rubbing technique to print the information and pictures on paper.

Fan Wei read the information and found out that this was a terrifying monster with a single level as high as 30, which was distributed on the fifth floor of the maze.

They are active in the thunderclouds above, and each flap of their wings can produce a bolt of lightning.

"They also move in groups, making good use of lightning energy. Even the tower master has to be extra careful when facing a group of thunder butterflies."

A brief comparison will reveal the similarities between the Thunder Butterfly and the Thunder Bug. At the end of the document it is specially noted that it is a legendary darling of the God of Thunder and the Sea, a creature that carries divinity.

"Divinity..." Irene thought, "It feels so coincidental."

She and Fan Wei looked at each other and both thought of the ancient book from the mythological era, which recorded a god of thunder and storm named "Godshenia".

"The current god of thunder is the goddess of the sea, and the thunder butterfly is rumored to be a divine insect that hovers over the cliffs of the lonely sea and dances among the dark clouds."

Yes, a divine insect! As the favorite insect of the goddess of the sea, the real Thunder Butterfly is a legendary divine creature, and those in the maze are said to be just his offspring.

"Although it's just speculation, it can explain a lot of problems. It's not ruled out that this thunder bug is also related to the gods."

Irene analyzed carefully, "If it is a divine creature, then it is normal to suppress magic power."

After finding the right research direction, she immediately began to collect and analyze other information.

Fan Wei looked at her serious profile and thought about how to exit the state of academic thinking. In that state, he felt that his emotions would weaken, affecting the performance of some of his abilities.

"Ms. Lumina, is there a kitchen in the Sage Tower?" he asked with a low smile.

"Yes, yes~" Lumina secretly thought that she was worthy of being the romantic Misler Fan, and she led the way for Fan Wei with a smile.

A large kitchen soon appeared in front of us.

As the pinnacle of magic, the kitchen in the Sage Tower also has a magical style, with a stove heated by flame magic, an ice maker with excellent quick-freezing effects, and a catalytic basin that accelerates reactions, making Fan Wei feel like he's back in a modern kitchen.

The current research could not help for the time being, so Fan Wei thought about having afternoon tea.

It's not that he is greedy, but he consumes a lot of brain energy in thinking. Proper sugar supplementation can restore his spirit and maintain better efficiency.

People are actually like machines. They need some "lubricating oil" and maintenance when appropriate.

Physical and mental health has a huge impact on work status.

“Eggs, cream, coffee powder...”

After a quick glance, Fan Wei found that the magicians' food was quite rough. Most of them were pre-made semi-finished products that they stuffed into their mouths while they were still hot.

However, as a wealthy Sage Tower, the quality of the materials is quite good.

"Oh my god, this is Murdoch coffee, 200 copper coins for a small can, and they charge by the box!"

"What? It's not an ordinary egg, but one laid by a blue chicken! The texture is warm and even."

Unconventional sounds were heard in the kitchen. Fan Wei selected some ingredients and planned to make pudding, cream sponge cake and egg yolk pastry.

Choose cold brewed black tea as a drink, which is just right to cool down your overloaded brain.

Making pastry is also a compulsory course for the store manager. Fan Wei hums a little tune leisurely while making each pastry carefully. The warm and sweet aroma gradually spreads.

While he was concentrating on making the dish, a man suddenly walked into the kitchen door.

His face was dark, as if he was in danger of dying at any time. He was one of the potion masters from before. He felt hungry after a fierce battle with his colleague, so he came here to look for food.

"Huh? Someone's making something?"

A look of horror flashed across the face of the potion master. Ever since the last time the department director "showed off his skills" and made cakes that half of the department staff members ate, the other directors' faces turned purple, and the tower master remained silent.

The kitchen of the Potions Department has a somewhat mysterious tone in the eyes of outsiders.

After all, he is a potion master. Who can resist his burst of inspiration and not experiment with the collision of potions and culinary skills in cooking?

"Hey, brother~ I don't recognize you! Are you just here to help?" The potion master greeted him enthusiastically, his eyes attracted by the small cake taken out of the oven.

Such a brown-black color is worthy of being a product of the Potions Department.

Fan Wei nodded politely when he heard the greeting. He really came here to help Irene. "Would you like some? The egg yolk pastry and pudding will take a while to bake."

The sweet aroma has expanded and softened, and it took him a lot of effort to stack the layers of puff pastry.

"Okay, let me see if your kung fu is comparable to that of the department head."

Relying on his strong resistance to poison, the potion master picked up the brown sponge cake with cream squeezed on it and a delicate and eye-catching shape, and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite.

"Um--!! You! You're not from the Potions Department!!"

The potion master's eyes widened in shock.

This taste is too good, it is not something that "our own people" can make! Could it be that someone from another department came to mess things up! !

This... is a great smash!!!

"Brother, I support you! It's so delicious, my taste buds...my taste buds are saved! Woohoo!"

The potion master was so moved that he cried. The soft and fragrant cake was comparable to the one from the best cake shop on the street, 'Sea Vanilla'. He was always busy working overtime and was tortured by potions every day. He couldn't remember the last time he indulged in a dessert.

"Hmm, it has a slightly bitter taste and the aroma of coffee. Is this coffee cream cake?"

"That's right. I tried adding some coffee powder to it. It helps boost my spirits."

As Fan Wei spoke, he put on gloves and took out the baked pudding and egg yolk pastry. Chinese pastries have never appeared in Maze Street before, and they are full of novel and exotic style.

"Oh, the smell of eggs and sugar, I miss it so much, what is this taste like? Crisp and rich, like flower petals..."

"Brother, I remember now. You were taken to see the deacon by Lumina. Deacon Irene is really a good deacon who cares about the people. Did he invite such a good pastry chef just for us?!"

"The reputation of the Potions Department has been saved!"

The potion master chattered excitedly, pulling Fan Wei to ask him to give him some special care, he was so envious of those bastards!

"Haha, I took everyone's appetite into consideration and made more than I can chew. These are for Irene and the others. Please enjoy the rest."

Picking up enough snacks and cold-brewed black tea for him to eat, Fan Wei said hello to the potion master who was swallowing big gulps and left the kitchen.

The potion master, who was enjoying the delicious food, was overjoyed. Everyone? Which everyone? These are all his!!

Let those idiots drink the potion~wahahaha!!!

When she returned to the room, there was a small mountain of documents piled up next to Irene. She seemed to be thinking about something, her delicate brows slightly wrinkled.

"Have some afternoon tea. It's good for replenishing your brain energy."

Fan Wei was all smiles, and handed over the snacks in his hand amid the warm welcoming gazes of the crowd.

"Thank you, you smell so good - ah! No, the snacks you made smell so good!" After taking the black tea poured by Clara, Irene looked at Fan Wei and said dazedly.

"I just checked. In some areas, beetles are considered sacred creatures. This culture may have originated from ancient gods."

While enjoying the pastries, they still did not forget to talk about the topic. Irene took a sip of black tea, opened her eyes and said in surprise:

"The tea is actually iced! But it's so refreshing, and I feel much more energetic all of a sudden."

"This is black tea made by melting ice cubes and cold brewing. It can be simply called - ahem, 'ice black tea'." Fan Wei introduced while holding back a smile.

"Hoohoo."

With a piece of cake in her mouth, Irene covered her mouth with her hands and revealed her dimples. "Another new idea of ​​yours. I really don't know where you get so many ideas from~"

"But after being enlightened by your craftsmanship, I suddenly thought of how to deal with those beetles."

"Ordinary magic will not work. We must use divinity to fight against divinity!"
