Less than ten minutes into the lecture, Soygo cursed almost everyone present.
Lu Ning felt that another reason for this guy's anonymity was probably because he couldn't control his mouth. If he became famous, he would be beaten wherever he went.
However, the group of people who actually came to attend the lecture did not leave the meeting angrily after being a little irritated. Since Soygo dared to scold like this, he had to show some ability to convince the public - in a sense, alchemy The teachers' logic is also simpler.
"Are you not convinced?" Soygo smiled sarcastically, standing on the podium with his hands behind his hands and his head held high, "Then let me prove it. Now, tell me, what is the formula of alchemy?"
Someone immediately stood up: "The formula of alchemy is the basis of all alchemical exchanges, and on this basis, various changes in alchemy are formed."
"Pooh!"
Soygo spat directly.
"With your shitty understanding, you can only copy formulas and formulas to refine those featureless products. Get someone with some brains!"
Just as the man was about to get angry, someone stood up next to him: "The formula... should be a tool, and we are the users of the tool. Just like physical objects such as the transformation formation and the alchemy table."
The corner of Soygo's mouth twitched.
"You are so arrogant and arrogant that there is no cure for it. I don't even bother to scold you. I just sit here and sit quietly. Let's change it to someone who hasn't finished reading the book... It's just you. You didn't raise your hand just now, right?"
He reached out and tapped Lu Ning. Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. Among those who didn't raise their hands just now, she was sitting facing Soygo. It was normal for her to be remembered. However, one of the answers from the two people just now came from "Elementary Alchemy". The introduction to "The Technique" contains a sentence from a former great mage-level alchemist. Since these are not satisfactory to Soygo, what can she say?
"It's you, what are you doing? Answer quickly! Is it possible that your brain has been soaked by the magic liquid at a young age?" Soygo's mouth was completely unforgiving. Lu Ning was stunned for a moment and he said Become dissatisfied.
But he started to curse anyway, so Lu Ning took this opportunity to think about his problem carefully.
Soygo is a madman, and it can be seen in his words and deeds. This kind of person seems difficult to understand, but in fact it is easy to understand if you can find out his way of thinking. After all, fanatics are not madmen.
Although his previous words were full of all kinds of disparagement and sarcasm, they seemed to be criticisms of the current rules of alchemy. With the achievements of the Grand Magister level, his madness also has the capital of madness. In other words, this person's understanding of alchemy should be different from the current mainstream understanding of alchemy.
That way, the answer he wants should be easier to consider.
"I think formulas are people's concrete representation of the laws of nature."
After Lu Ning said this, Soygo's expression that was about to curse paused for a moment, then closed his mouth, and his face finally became better.
"Huh, that's interesting."
What's the point? Isn’t it just to pretend what you want to pretend?
Lu Ning cursed.
"The formula - represents nature. The equivalent exchange in alchemy does not determine the value by personal will, but the measurement of the total amount of matter between heaven and earth. However, some people can't understand this truth after spending a lifetime working on the alchemy formation!"
Soygo strode up to the podium and pulled out a piece of parchment from the general teaching materials prepared by the school.
"And you only know how to memorize formulas by rote. When you are completely controlled by those formulas, you are already fools who are behind the times. That girl over there, do you know why?"
This time Soygo was referring to a girl with long black hair and not very old who was sitting in the middle position on the side.
"Nature is changing." The girl responded calmly.
"Yes, all fools understand this truth. When the substances in nature are constantly changing, do you think those broken formulas you have memorized for a long time are really accurate? Those are all things used by antiques hundreds of years ago. In less than a hundred years, the fools who use these formulas will find that their products can no longer break through the 95 purity barrier!"
This time no one stood up to refute him. Anyone with a little knowledge of alchemy knew that what Soygo said was probably correct.
The purity that alchemists in history can achieve is 99 and 98. Because of this, many people think that ancient techniques may be more exquisite than they are now, and some ancient revivalists have also been born. Of course, these people eventually disappeared due to illegal practices.
But no one suspected that there was something wrong with the formula.
"Not to mention anything else, every successful refining means that some things in this world disappear, and other things that should not exist originally are produced. The nature now is the nature after we have changed it, and the proportion of matter Even if the changes are minimal, such accumulation will gradually affect every alchemist...the formula needs to change accordingly."
He slapped the parchment on the table, took out a charcoal pen from his pocket and quickly drew it on the paper. It was a refining formation, but it was not the general refining formation shape in Lu Ning's memory, but a triangle. pattern.
After Soygo quickly drew the refining formation, he threw the charcoal pen into the formation and touched the edge with his finger. The refining formation burst out with cyan light. Everyone knew that it was being refining. process.
But this is not in line with the cognition of alchemists.
There is no magic solution, no conventional refining, and the only things in alchemy that can be refined and displayed in the classroom are short-term items such as potions. Finally, there are no tools, weighing, or even special materials.
But the light of the refining transformation told everyone that even without these, the refining was still going on smoothly and very quickly.
After about five minutes, the light dissipated, the parchment turned into ashes, and a small black puppet stood on the table. Soygo reached out and touched the puppet's head, and the puppet started to move suddenly. , raised his hands and waved hello to everyone in the classroom.
"Artificial life!"
Lu Ning heard someone behind her exclaim in low voice.
Under conventional wisdom, the most basic artificial life refining time would take one day, but this perception has been shattered today. Fortunately, Lu Ning knew in advance that Soygo could perform 100-purity refining and had no doubts about the alchemist's ability.
In such a state of consternation, no one questioned Soygo. Being able to do something that no one else can do is a skill, and a capable person who curses others in his professional field will be called a maverick.
Fortunately, Soygo finally started teaching. Although six of his ten sentences mock the stupidity and obtuseness of today's alchemical environment, the formally academic parts are as straight to the point and precise as a scalpel. As a result, everyone turned a deaf ear to his curse words and each took notes silently. Occasionally, some people even asked questions at the risk of being scolded, and then got scolded as they wished.
Lu Ning actually felt okay, but looking at Boliwell's expression next to him, it seemed that all the concepts he had built up in alchemy in his life had been smashed to pieces by Soygo. Originally, he was here to inquire about his brother's whereabouts, but now he couldn't help but remember I took notes.
Soygo continued talking like this for three and a half hours while cursing and cursing. The artificial life he made climbed up and down the desk to give him water. When he finally finished speaking, he casually pinched the artificial life. After rubbing his life, the villain turned back into a charcoal pencil. This move left everyone speechless.
"I remember there was... a question-and-answer session after class? You're like a fool. Each of you takes a piece of paper, writes down the questions you want to ask and your name, and hands it over. Remember to ask something that will make me think you are a little smarter. Questions, as for things that are so stupid that even a pig can figure them out, don’t waste my time!”
Not many people are willing to take the initiative to scold them, and they can endure it for a whole class, but being scolded one on one is a real test of their psychological quality. Most people packed up their things and left, only a few submitted their own questions. Soygo didn't care about those who left at all. He collected more than twenty pieces of parchment and opened them casually to read them.
"Kamo Tomaki, Lilian, Boliwell, Kyogoku Rigo, Hōyama Fuchiko." He named five names, "Five of you, follow me to the back classroom, and everyone else, get out."
Not to mention those who cursed and left, the five people who were called stood up respectively. In addition to Lu Ning and Boliwell, there was also the black-haired girl who answered the question before. The person sitting two rows behind Lu Ning was wearing what should be A young man in a Chinese dress, and a thin young man wearing a yin-yang pattern short shirt in the last row on the right.
To receive a Grand Magister-level alchemist, the Royal Alchemy Academy gave the best room. The various materials and tools placed on the surrounding shelves were enough to make it difficult for a senior alchemist to move, but Soy Of course, people like Ge wouldn't even look at him.
He sat behind the desk and tapped a bell next to him, and an invisible wave of magic enveloped the area around the desk.
Then Soygo put on a strange, somewhat unpleasant smile.
"This is soundproof. When the second person walks in, all the sounds inside the closed room will be transmitted out. As for why this is used...it's because the questions each of you ask involve privacy, and at the same time, they are of great interest to me. thing."
All five people frowned.
"So, today's conversation will be very interesting... Hahaha, ladies first, then Lilian, you are the first." Soygo pointed at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning stood up and walked over. After passing through the magic wave, a sense of silence immediately enveloped the surroundings.
Soygo sat in front of her, crossing his hands. At this time, he no longer had that arrogant expression, but his look of watching the excitement made people even more angry.
Lu Ning sighed secretly. She didn't care, but she didn't know if the others would be angered by this attitude.
"You sent me a question, or a topic." Soygo started, "World Stone, huh? I hope you can express some opinions that make me think I can talk to you."
"I want to find an alchemist who is as good as possible..."
"It's no use flattering." Soygo interrupted her, "Let's just say it directly, what do you think the World Stone is?"
"It's just a world."
"To put it lightly, one world? That's not alchemy, that's the God of Creation."
"But alchemy can do it, can't it? I compiled some alchemy notes and consulted some rumors. Of course, these things are not very reliable, and it can even be said that they are all made up and guessed, but if It’s really just a legend, and it won’t be recorded by an alchemist.”
"oh?"
"I mean, the World Stone is theoretically possible in alchemy."
"Hmph, theory... I thought you were smart enough."
"It's not something in the textbook, but the most basic theory of alchemy, which is 'exchange'." Lu Ning added.
The brow that Soygo raised just now fell.
"continue."
"Of course we cannot and cannot create a 'world' the same size as today's world, and ordinary means cannot compress all the basic elements of a world into a space the size of a stone. But alchemy can, through 'Exchange' can directly generate everything a world needs on the refining array, and their size can be controlled to be extremely small, so small that in our eyes the world is no more than the size of a stone."
"You probably want to ask me this question because you know the result of my 100-purity refining." Soygo sneered, "After all, the world's refining can't make any mistakes. You need to use that method, and you also need yours." Refined to perfection, right?”
"No, I don't need to refine a perfect world." Lu Ning also smiled, "But I do need a purity of 100."
Soygo's expression was finally no longer so annoying.
"You don't need a perfect world, but you need 100 purity? Tell me about your thinking."
"In the history of alchemy, alchemists have refined many non-existent substances, which have greatly enriched the material diversity of the world. And what I want to do is do the opposite."
"The other way around? The other way around... Hehe, hahaha, hahahaha, that's it, so that's it, you...haha, take it back, your idea is indeed interesting." Soygo grinned, and the four people outside were completely Don't know why he smiles so happily.
"Yes, I just need to gather the elements of the world, and then refine them back to 100' nothingness, so that the world can be reborn from nothing, and the World Stone will naturally form. After all, if the World Stone can be completed in theory , with the right conditions, a new world will naturally form."
Soygo slammed the table: "I'm young, but I dare to think about it! World Stone, if you do this, it's really... wait, what's the point? Such a miniature world can neither be used to replenish resources nor be obtained. provide energy."
"Are you someone who cares about meaning? I thought the sense of accomplishment of just creating a world would be enough."
Soygo doesn't like to be flattered, but it turns out that once he is flattered, he really smells good.
