Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 437 Explosion is Art

Listening to those experiences, Su Lun felt a little mixed in his heart.

It was the warm confidence that Jike, who was alone after his father's death, never felt again.

Those who can go to school here are either rich or expensive. No matter what their talents are, the students here are destined to be "big men" in the future of the Luying Empire from birth.

Su Lun fell into deep thought.

It's not that Su Lun doesn't want to ride a more convenient steam motorcycle, but that motorcycles are banned in the wealthy area to the north.

Even now, even eating, you have to let go of your dignity.

But the science of dynamism is indeed unpopular.

Along the way, they met many students wearing the uniforms of the Royal Academy. All of them are full of vigor and vigor, and their young faces are full of vigor.

Oh, it's like a dream!

This was barely enough for a fairly wealthy merchant family like Gek. But the death of his father left the family without a sustainable source of income. A large number of experimental consumables have used up all the savings.

But upon closer inspection, half of his face was clearly burned with scars. This made his apparently handsome and sunny boy look a little terrifying.

Hear this,

Su Lun heard the helplessness in Jike's tone and didn't speak.

At this time, the car passed the corner of a block, and the field of vision suddenly widened, and a splendid building group appeared in the distance.

Su Lun listened to everyone talking about their classmates with the labels "mysterious", "crazy" and "terrorist".

Because they said they were looking for Jike, Su Lun and the two were also despised by those little nobles.

Thick smoke, green fire, not too much movement.

At this moment, a guy with a gas mask hurried out of the house.

(End of this chapter)

While walking, the two happened to meet a few students with their second-grade logos on their school uniforms.

The two strolled along the boulevard, and Su Lun talked about the experience of taking Jiek as a disciple.

Thinking that in a month or so, I would have to go to the palace as a "Fick" and accept the betrothal blessing from the Queen with that Miss Catherine. Su Lun suddenly lost interest in this building again.

After saluting, Jike looked at the beautiful lady in a big-brimmed hat beside Su Lun who was hugging his arm affectionately, and guessed, "Teacher, is this a teacher's wife?"

Su Lun looked out the window in the carriage.

Counting the time, he should be a second-year student.

Su Lun smiled, not knowing how to introduce Sabina.

After a moment, it was as if the clouds were turning clouds into the sun, the haze in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and the light gradually became brighter.

Sabina nodded with a smile, then took out a golden pocket watch that had been prepared a long time ago, and said, "This is a gift for you."

His tone was very self-blame, as if it was because of his extravagance that he had caused such an embarrassing situation.

Although full of ridicule and cold eyes, Jike's love for alchemy made him reluctant to give up this only way to study.

Su Lun thinks this is a good thing.

"Well, it's him, a poor and sour guy from a furry's family! I also heard that the college won't let him pay for the bombing of the teaching building, and he still refuses to drop out of school. Now he lives with the lowly gardener's servants. Together. Seems like he's continuing his dangerous experiment."

After a pause, she said again: "It's the group of stubborn old guys who want to hold power all the time, and they are also afraid of change. So Lu Yingcai is far behind Mafa, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger."

It was blown off, leaving only the stump of two fingers.

Su Lun saw that the gas mask around Jike's neck was so old and rotten that he didn't want to change it, he knew that he was in a dire situation.

Su Lun didn't care.

Even the dormitory area is terrifyingly large, it is definitely unrealistic to find it slowly.

Jike looked at his teacher and the lady with a serious expression, pretended to be indifferent, and said, "Teacher, it's actually nothing. Here, everyone eats the same food, which is very rich."

Every qualified pharmacist must have burned a large amount of materials and piled it up.

Although the landscaped courtyard of the Royal Academy is pleasant, it also requires a large number of servants to take care of it.

After we parted from Blizzard City, we didn't hear from him again, but I didn't expect to see him again at the academy!

He was immediately certain that this Jike was the disciple of his bomb genius!

This is an aristocratic academy, and civilian students will definitely be ostracized by their classmates.

When he spoke, he also bowed to Sabina to see her elders.

Su Lun had only heard that Gek had successfully entered his coveted Royal Academy, but didn't know anything else.

"We're from the second-year pharmacy school. Never heard of 'Jick James'"

It was still early anyway, so the two of them were not in a hurry, and just strolled leisurely around the campus.

Sabina didn't know what to do, and without waiting for Su Lun to speak, she subtly resolved this moment of embarrassment. She praised Jike with a beautiful smile and said, "The mouth is so sweet."

Su Lun listened to the conversation of the handymen, with black lines in the corners of his eyes.

Realizing that he was not mistaken, Jike ran over excitedly all the way.

Ji Ke was startled when he heard it, and complex emotions emerged in his eyes: moved, joyful, surprised.

Su Lun listened to the brows twitching slightly and chuckled lightly.

I didn't expect it to be so coincidental. These people really know this question.

Su Lun smiled and didn't care, and said, "It was also a coincidence that he accepted Ji Ke as a disciple before. His experience was also quite tragic. His stepmother killed his father and his family was ruined. I don't want him to be implicated in my troubles again."

No matter how you look at it, he, as a disciple, is now mixed up like this, and he has lost the teacher's face.

Jike seemed to understand, but also respectfully said, "Hello, Madam."

Although I know that the Royal Academy is not friendly to civilian students.

The academy provides free and hearty food to the students.

"Oh my God, I hope the Gek kid doesn't burn himself."

He followed Su Lun Sabina and strolled around the campus.

That kind of excitement is hard to tell.

Because there was no trouble after the dance last night, Su Lun and Sabina didn't have to worry about being targeted, so the two took a limousine to the north.

The handymen who lived on the side seemed to be used to it, and they ran out after listening to the movement, beckoning to come to put out the fire.

Only then did he realize that he still has a teacher with a strong backing!

Su Lun looked at the old buildings and guessed where Gek was at a glance.

"Don't use water! He said that green flames can't be used with water, wait for the fire to burn itself out!"

After listening to it, Sabina also sighed: "Sir, you have accepted one of your disciples before, but I haven't heard of you. As your maid and information officer, this servant feels very dereliction of duty."

Su Lun listened silently, frowning slightly.

Hearing this, the young man wearing a gas mask bowed again and again and apologized to everyone: "Sorry everyone, there is something wrong with the ventilation equipment, which has caused everyone trouble. I will pay more attention next time."

No matter who it is, since it is an elder, it is natural to salute.

As soon as they met, he respectfully saluted a teacher and apprentice: "Teacher! It's really you!"

"yes."

Although he also knew that this was a gift for the elders, it was too precious!

The two planned to go to the new student's dormitory area to ask.

Su Lun didn't expect Sabina to be so caring, and even prepared a gift for his disciples, and smiled, "Take it."

"Jick? Oh my God! It's not the maniac who studies bombs? That guy hasn't been fired yet?"

Having said this, all he could see in his eyes was the enthusiasm for explosives, "Teacher, my preliminary experiment has been successful! As long as there are enough materials to experiment, I will soon be able to make that kind of finished bomb!"

Different from the common area of ​​Nancheng where steam machines are blooming everywhere, it almost completely retains the ancient style of Lington hundreds of years ago.

But it was relieved after a moment, since the teacher's friend could easily give away a gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The stump problem that I felt powerless to recover was naturally not a big problem in the eyes of the teacher.

In a word, there is no money.

As she spoke, she also said another blessing, saying, "As an excellent alchemist, I hope you can accurately grasp every moment of your life in the future."

Fortunately, now that he got the exact news, he was relieved, and said to himself, "It turns out that I live in the utility area, no wonder I can't find it in the dormitory."

Jike looked embarrassed again, and continued: "As for why I live here, it's because... It's because there were several explosion accidents in the laboratory before, which caused a lot of damage to the college and caused great losses. Then the dormitory also It's not convenient to do some dangerous experiments, so I just came here."

He also knew it was the truth.

He excitedly introduced his achievements: "Oh! Teacher, that is a special combustion-supporting formula used by ancient dwarves to forge, called [white phosphorus combustion-supporting agent]. This is an ancient formula I found in the library. I deciphered it. But because it is an ancient formula, many materials are missing, and then I want to try to change it and make a [phosphide inextinguishable bomb]. It is the kind that cannot be extinguished no matter what, until the target is burnt clean. bomb."

A lady in a black dress with an extraordinary temperament, and a gentleman in a hat.

So have been stocking.

"That's right, keep a low profile. You see you've made the smoke rise again. I'm afraid the whole academy can see it now."

Thinking about it, Su Lun went up to him and asked, "Several students, may I ask, have you heard of a second-year student named 'Jick James'? He should be from the School of Pharmacy."

All the beautiful words that can describe the royal buildings are used on it.

After the car passed the Lington Iron Bridge over the Rocco Vallen River, the road conditions on this side were immediately different.

His own disciple has had a tragic life experience, but these hardships have now become a more and more tenacious quality in him, gradually exuding excellent light.

The handmade pocket watch of this "Wanda Philippe Watch Company" is one of several luxury brands that nobles love most. Each piece is worth at least a few hundred thousand lisos.

Now that I have the conditions, I just happened to come to the Royal Academy to find notes, so I naturally want to stop by and take a look.

What his disciple said was the truth, but he avoided the main point and said something lightly.

He was very puzzled why someone would come to the handyman area. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but he had to burrow into his smoking laboratory.

He asked, "Jick, your hands and face were injured in a laboratory accident?"

"Oh, that guy is really a lunatic. It is estimated that he is the only guy in the history of our Royal Academy who blew up the pharmacy laboratory three times. Last time, I didn't know what dangerous things had happened, and the burning flames could not be thrown. It almost spread to the entire test area. The guy who deserved it, also blew several fingers off himself.”

Even when the family was the most prosperous, my father never wore such a precious pocket watch.

He woke up suddenly, recognized the person, and exclaimed excitedly, "Teacher?!"

In this palace, there is an unknown big boss.

Although they are all students of the Royal Academy, there is also a chain of contempt.

"."

The two walked over, but before they got close, they watched a strange green flame suddenly burst out of the room.

It is as beautiful as a garden, and the buildings are hidden in the green trees. Those luxurious two-storey villas with wine red roofs are the students' dormitory buildings.

"Ah this."

This is what he deliberately did not say.

As he said that, he remembered the words of the previous students, and said with concern: "I met some of your classmates before, and I heard that you haven't been to class for a long time recently, what happened? Also, you are so good at it. live here?"

When it comes to the experiment, Gek's eyes immediately light up.

Although Jike still doesn't know the origin of his teacher, from the moment he met, Su Lun gave him a strong sense of trust.

Magnificent, magnificent, exquisite, holy, majestic.

This can be a big oolong.

When meeting for the first time, etiquette is still indispensable.

Hearing this, Ji Ke's slightly grim face after being burned showed a very serious expression, "Yeah!"

Jike felt embarrassed, but finally nodded: "Well. Although the materials in the academy are cheap, the explosive formula experiment requires a lot of materials and equipment. I have spent all the savings from selling furs before my father passed away."

Jike was a little embarrassed by the teacher seeing his predicament, and responded: "Yes, teacher. Before, because I was not very proficient in the experiment, I misestimated the response data of some new materials, and then it caused an explosion."

He directly pointed out the difficulties of Gek and asked, "Have the family's savings been spent?"

Studying alchemists is very expensive, and this is even worse in the discipline of "pharmacy".

There is a very wide area of ​​classical Gothic gardens, which is the main campus of the college.

The location of the Luying Royal Academy is in the Quentin District, where the wealthy gather on the north side of the Rocco Valen.

Now that they knew the direction, Su Lun followed the sign and left the dormitory area, circled the dormitory area, and walked to the back of the remote lake.

The Royal Academy has top educational resources that are unmatched by any alchemy academy in the Luying Empire.

Su Lun also found it very strange, and analyzed: "It shouldn't be so. Jike's alchemy knowledge level at that time, it is reasonable to say that passing the entrance exam of the Royal Academy is completely enough."

Although Su Lun had heard of it, it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

He excitedly shared his career planning, "Teacher, do you know that many people look down on [Ammunition Master] professionals and explosives. They think it can only be used in low-level alchemy formulas in low-level occupations. But in fact They are wrong! Their understanding of human explosions is too narrow! We can't limit explosions to explosives, and some special energy release processes can also be called explosions, compared to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and certain substances. When the state changes, there will also be a terrifying burst of energy! That is the direction I have been researching. Even those people don't even know that in theory, some special explosives can blow up the entire Lingdu with only a few hundred kilograms! This level of explosion is the perfect art in my heart!"

"."

Sabina, who was on the side, listened to the descriptions of the students and looked strange. What kind of special disciple did her master recruit?

Among them was a hut with obvious burn marks, which was out of tune with the house next to it.

Jike seemed to be greatly encouraged, and his eyes trembled with excitement: "I knew it. I knew it! Even if the whole world doesn't understand it, you can definitely understand my thoughts, teacher!"

Jike is just a child of a merchant family, and naturally he is not in the eyes of these little nobles.

"Hey, Jake, you have to be careful. If you make such a big noise, the academy will really kick you out."

The building in front of me is really beautiful.

Hearing the loud "I'm there", Jike stood on the spot as if struck by lightning, "I, I."

It's not necessarily a good thing to have such a teacher as Ji Keduo.

The streets are clean and tidy, with classical-style buildings everywhere.

However, he didn't feel bitter, because the firm belief in his heart has always persisted.

Jike seemed to be affirmed by others for the first time, and his face became rosy because of excitement, "Teacher also thinks my research is very good?"

Hearing the question, Jike couldn't hide a hint of embarrassment, hesitating: "Teacher, I"

After meeting, Jike remembered something and asked, "By the way, teacher, why did you come to the Royal Academy?"

It was true that everyone was the same, but the gardeners and janitors ate the overnight food left over from the noble students and should have been thrown away.

Saying that, he lifted off his gas mask, revealing that excited face.

"You said that, I seem to have a little impression. Jike is the only guy in our class who has a perfect score in the dangerous pharmacy exam?"

Su Lun and Sabina got out of the car.

Ever since he stepped into the Royal Academy on the first day, he has never been as excited as this moment.

And the most expensive is the pharmacy apprentice.

After a while, Gek packed up his laboratory.

After all, the best civilian students can find the best job after graduation, which is to work for major companies controlled by nobles.

So now that he is in the academy, he can only scrape together various things, earn credits, and work hard to get some compensation. Even picking up the corners and scrap materials discarded by other students in the laboratory can be used to support one's own experiments.

In the carriage, Sabina introduced to Su Lun: "That's what the wealthy area of ​​Lingdun is like. The nobles almost refuse to use all new things. In their eyes, the more ancient objects are used, the more they can reflect a family's heritage. Ancient heritage. Some guys can't wait to hang the mummies of their ancestors hundreds of years ago in the carriage to show their pure noble blood."

She seemed very happy to hear the name, but she immediately changed the subject and said, "But I'm not your 'mistress'. I'm a good friend of your teacher."

"."

The handymen on the side seemed to have a good relationship with Jike, pouring cold water hard on them.

But looking at his teacher's calm and concerned expression, Jike finally said the grievance that no one had ever said in his heart: "I don't want to give up. Because the academy has Lu Ying's best library and the cheapest one. The material supply, the best experimental equipment, once I drop out of the school, there is no chance for all of this. That's why. That's why. I will live here. It's not very good, but at least I can continue to stay in the academy."

And only after saying goodbye from Blizzard City, Su Lun never contacted him again.

But the Luying Royal Academy is the largest alchemy academy in the entire empire, with more than 50,000 students.

Therefore, he can only stay in the academy all the time, even if he lives with the handymen who are looked down upon by his classmates, he doesn't care.

The traditional alchemist's impression of gunpowder is still on bullets and artillery, and naturally they look down on this low-level alchemy product. Especially in the traditional alchemy holy land of Luying Royal Academy, it is even less valued.

At that time, his own situation was not good. He had just been hunted down by the Lei Jiadi family in various ways. Later, there were many big disturbances in Beihai.

Every block is patrolled by Royal Female Mounted Policemen riding big black horses, which is heroic.

Sabina on the side listened to the sparkle in her beautiful eyes.

Su Lun affirmed again: "Dynamite is a science with unlimited potential. It is not inferior to any other discipline in alchemy."

It looks very backward, but there is luxury everywhere.

In the end, he only said one sentence: "Thank you teacher."

He didn't say more on the topic, and instead asked: "By the way, Jike, what did you study before? I mean that green flame."

Having said that, he looked at Ji Ke's eager eyes again and encouraged: "Keep going. When your dream comes true, you must be like a bright star in the night sky, and the world will see your brightest light. "

After all, geniuses are paranoid.

What's more, it is now determined that the believers of the Outer Gods have infiltrated the royal family.

In the eyes of the gangsters, those cool locomotives are just cheap means of transportation that only the underprivileged can use. They are dangerous and vulgar.

This class divide, which has been going on in camping for thousands of years, is almost impossible to break.

Explosion is art?

He didn't say much, just glanced at it lightly, and said, "It's not a big problem. I still have some [Activated Silver] in my hand. I will make you a mechanical prosthesis later, which will not affect your future life. As for the face Burns, this can be solved with [Advanced Cell Activation Agent], and it's not a big problem."

I thought maybe some poor relatives came to visit.

The Royal Academy has a very good environment and is full of birds and flowers.

Su Lun's disciple, although he is not a teacher, is also a very close elder.

This sentence is like walking alone in the dark, suddenly seeing a guiding light!

But Su Lun could still recognize that the intact half of his face was the appearance of his own disciple, Jike.

Su Lun went directly to the dormitory administrator. When asked, the administrator actually said that there is no student "Jick James" in the second-year dormitory?

Gek also seemed to notice the two outsiders who were watching by the lake for a while.

Once in Blizzard City, it was Su Lun's words of encouragement that made him firm in his future career path to become a [Ammunition Engineer], not a dentist or a lawyer.

Especially students who have no money.

That is aristocratic students, which are superior to those civilian students who have been admitted by themselves.

"Get some water! That Gek guy has set the house on fire again!"

The lady said she would give it away?

The only means of transportation were limousines, bicycles, and carriages with the coat of arms of the nobles.

"really?"

Su Lun suddenly felt familiar when he heard the pictures that Gek described.

After a few chats, Su Lun also found that his disciple was really aggrieved.

Pharmacy is indeed one of the basic subjects in alchemy.

As he ran, he cheered: "Hahaha, I succeeded! My experiment with ingredients for the phosphorus fire bomb has finally succeeded!"

Su Lun's expression didn't change. After listening, he just said lightly, "Let it pass. Since I'm here. In the future, you can concentrate on your favorite dynamite. As for everything else, it's me."

Sabina's car had her family crest of "Count Demacula" on it, and the car drove unobstructed all the way to the dormitory area of ​​the academy.

Su Lun smiled and nodded, "Jike, long time no see."

"."

He didn't forget that if it wasn't for the kindness of his teacher, he would have died in Blizzard City in the Northland. Without the teacher's guidance, he could not have been successfully admitted to the Royal Academy.

Sabina pointed to the white city wall in the distance, with some buildings with sapphire blue spires emerging from the top, and said: "That is the castle where the Bona royal family lives - Frederick Palace."

But since he accepted this disciple, he naturally didn't want to see him being treated unfairly.

When Jike reached for the pocket watch, Su Lun also saw the difference in his hidden left hand.

But suddenly, Jike recalled for a moment, and instinctively felt that the gentleman with a smile on his face was a little familiar.

Planted a lot of water lilies next to the lake, where there are a few low buildings, that is the utility area of ​​the college.

"It seems to be our classmate, but... that guy hasn't come to class for a long time, right? I heard that after he bombed half of the laboratory building last time, the college will not allow him to conduct such dangerous drug experiments in the laboratory, let alone. He was doing experiments in the dormitory. Long time no see."

The Royal Academy does not prohibit outsiders from entering, provided you are a noble.

Su Lun didn't say much, and said lightly: "Clean up the laboratory, let's go shopping in the academy."

The street trees on the street are thick broad-leaved sycamore trees that cost hundreds of thousands of miles. There are always delicate and bright flowers in the flower beds by the roadside, and there are gold and silver coins in the fountain and wishing pool that no one picks up. Even the pigeons here are rare breeds of Shenghui white pigeons, they are proud and beautiful, they have their own territorial circle, and they will never get together and mate with ordinary pigeons.

"This"

Gek looked at the pocket watch and recognized at a glance that it was valuable.

When Jike heard this, he dared to accept it, and said in a complicated tone: "Thank you ma'am."

Thinking about it, he also felt that Sabina had a point. Maybe for some reason, Jike was late for admission.

That's not bad, but it's not very accurate either.

After walking out of the dormitory area, Sabina looked at Su Lun's puzzled expression and asked, "Will it be a year late for admission, now a first-year student?"

But Jike still mustered his courage and explained: "In the first year of admission, I have already completed all four years of homework in the college. Explosives is a very unpopular branch of pharmacy. Lu Ying's mechanical and military industry is backward, correspondingly. This subject is also very unpopular. In the academy, dynamite is not taken seriously by the academy at all. So this semester, I mostly check materials in the library and then do experiments.”

This is the most important person in his life after his father was killed by the poisonous woman.

Gek looked a little flattered, and turned his eyes to Su Lun for help.

After a while, the car drove all the way to Academy Street, and then saw the gate of Luying Royal Academy.

Su Lun said bluntly: "I have something to do with coming to the academy. Come and see your situation."

So he didn't know how Jike's situation was now.

There are few people on the streets of the wealthy neighborhood, but it is either rich or expensive.

"Uh-huh!"

Although the explosive genius Jike was his disciple in name, in fact, the two masters and disciples did not get along for a long time.

Hearing this, Su Lun nodded and praised himself without hesitation: "You have done a good job."

After listening to Ji Ke's classmates gossip, Su Lun also knew that the situation of his disciple in the academy was not very good.
