The capital of the island republic is spread across the river. In order to make the medicine as soon as possible, Ella and his three people, together with five guards, took two boats and arrived at the Alchemy University first. Due to the scarcity of ships at night, other guards could only choose the land route and were temporarily left behind.
Since all the teachers and students have been arrested, the entire university is dark. Surprisingly, the school's big iron gate was open. There was a broken lock hanging on the iron door. Ella felt something was wrong and walked up to check the lock carefully.
However, the girl didn't seem to care about it at all. She said "I'm home" and started to take off her clothes in front of everyone.
Amy hurriedly stepped in between her and the pirates behind her: "Wait a minute! They're still outside the gate now. What are you going to do?"
"The clothes are too hot, but the sheets are cooler——"
"I'm still wearing fur! And even if it's summer, how can anyone run around wearing a sheet all day long?"
"Tradition, common sense, and customs are just shackles that restrain people's wisdom..."
"Put your clothes back on!"
After a fierce struggle, the girl wrapped Amy's loose clothes with a resentful look on her face, turned her head and deliberately ignored Amy.
"The lock has been severely deformed. It looks like it was broken open by a heavy blunt object." Ella turned back and asked the girl, "Who could have done it? Do you have any idea?"
"Thieves will break into school five days out of seven." The girl said nonchalantly, "But the alchemist's sleep time is random. No matter when the thief comes, he will see a large group of people burning the boiler."
"But there is no one in the school now..."
"There is nothing worth stealing. Avicenna stopped the tutors' allowances for several months, and all valuable things in the school were sold out. As for the research results, alchemical texts are incomprehensible to outsiders. And, in fact, There are no useful alchemical results."
The girl walked in through the door as if nothing happened.
"The most promising tutor in the school is George Starkey. The 'solid silver' he made is an alloy that is more stable than gold. I secretly tried it with 'King's Bathwater'. Even with this ability The strong acid that easily dissolves gold also struggles with his 'solid silver'. He has the only piece of this alloy in the world, and its value is much higher than gold. Unfortunately, he did not understand the powerful properties of this metal at all, and thought that The transmutation of gold failed. An alchemist who regards refining gold as his ultimate goal can only see so much."
The house of the Alchemy University is divided into two rows, front and back. A wide passage runs through the middle of the university, dividing the two rows of houses into four blocks. The girl did not stop at any block, but walked into a small forest at the end of the school building. It was a place where garbage was dumped and feces was buried, and it was dirty and smelly. The girl's residence was arranged in a small cabin at the end of the woods.
"The two committee members, Lazi and John de Rupisisa, used to be very powerful alchemists. But now Lazi has got into Jabir's legacy. John learned from wine a few years ago. I extracted an essence. After practicing it, I found that it had very good medicinal effects and called it the water of life. However, John himself thought that what he extracted was the immortal fifth element ether, and he was ecstatic and has been stagnant ever since. Before, I didn’t even know what this liquid could be used for.”
As the girl led Ella to the cabin, she sharply criticized the tutors at Alchemy University. Her words showed that she was well aware of the academic progress of the university.
"Why are you just a handyman?" Amy couldn't help asking from the side.
The girl glanced at Amy and turned away with a "hum", obviously still resenting Amy for forcing her to wear clothes. She didn't answer Amy's question at all, and continued on her own: "Except for the few people I just mentioned, the remaining teachers and students are not even worth mentioning. This is the current situation of this university. The current situation. Let alone a thief entering a place like this, even if it is completely burned by a fire, it cannot be called a major incident..."
As she approached the cabin, the girl's footsteps suddenly stopped. Looking at the open wooden door and the light coming from the wooden house, she looked at Amy pitifully, and her tone suddenly changed to a plea for help: "A major incident! A thief ran into my room!"
Seeing that the thief entered the room of a handyman, Ella felt more and more that something was wrong. She winked at the five guards behind her, signaling them to surround the cabin before rushing in. But the girl ran over in panic and snatched the crowbar from Ella's hand.
"How dare you scare me? Look at me scaring him too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl threw Ella's crowbar in the direction of the wooden house. As soon as the crowbar hit the ground, it immediately turned into a giant snake. It made a cold spitting sound and circled the entire wooden house three times. If you are inside the house, you can see a huge long black shadow slowly crawling outside the windows on the north and south sides at the same time.
The people in the room seemed to notice something and suddenly turned off the lights in the room.
This terrifying scene also frightened the pirates who were about to rush forward. However, Ella already knew that the Basilik the girl made was very weak.
"Don't be afraid," she said to the pirates, "this snake won't bite you."
With Ella's words, the pirates felt more at ease and walked towards the wooden house step by step with confidence.
At this moment, a hair-raising laughter suddenly came from the wooden house:
"The Alchemical Snake. Looking at the entire island republic, there is probably only one person who possesses this skill - Paracelsus, you are out there, right?"
When someone called her name suddenly, the girl was startled and hid behind Amy.
The voice in the room continued: "Paracelsus, I know that you are a powerful magician. But to what extent is your magic? The apostle of Xiaoyao School was very curious, so he sent me here here."
"Paracelsus?" Amy cast a questioning look at the girl, "Is your magic very powerful?"
The girl shook her head vigorously like a rattle: "Only...only entry-level."
A lengthy chant came from inside the house:
"The reason why existence exists is that it must have the existence of essence and the existence of form."
"The existence of essence must have its form accompanying its existence."
"The existence of form is a contingent existence, existing because other existences exist."
"Looking back in this way, all things are empty. However, since the world must exist, there must be a final cause. The existence of its own essence is the existence that establishes its own form."
"Therefore God must exist."
