The gray-white sky exudes golden light, bringing a little warmth to Polnia. The sun shines peacefully on every corner of Atlas Alchemy Yard. In the bustling King Street, you can also experience the tranquility. learning atmosphere.
For students who yearn for the Atlas Alchemy Academy, it would be a huge tragedy to be unable to enroll. Reina wanted to comfort Jiang Chenchuan, but he looked indifferent and held back the words that came to his lips. Went back.
Since Leina and Jiang Chenchuan are outsiders, they can only study and communicate as visitors, so they cannot enter or exit at will in many mysterious departments.
"Stop being curious, I'll take you to see our mechanical department."
Ethan waved his hand and said. He was leading the way, still some distance away. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, as if the earth was shaking.
Reina looked frightened and looked around, not knowing what was going on. Thomas was obviously used to such big movements in the mechanical system, and there was a certain helplessness in his calmness.
As if he had some kind of sense, Jiang Chenchuan turned around and saw a group of students carrying something. The dark golden gun body was equipped with sharp blades and was connected to a metal pipe that was glowing with gray-white steam, with red dots flashing from time to time.
"what is that?"
Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and signaled.
"It seems to be a new type of weapon device similar to a bionic robotic arm. I heard it is still in the research and development stage. It is probably another failure that will be dragged away for destruction."
Ethan didn't hold anything back. After all, Jiang Chenchuan was the museum's handler, so this information could still be revealed.
"Mechanical... new weapons..."
Jiang Chenchuan was thoughtful.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the real mechanical world."
God's gift of wisdom made some essential differences between humans and animals. Ethan led them into the majestic and solemn mechanical department. The tall buildings made of cold steel were full of science and technology.
"Is Miss Reina interested in alchemy?"
"The teacher taught me in class before that alchemy originated from the occult. It contains patterns and symbols with special power, and extraordinary rules for praying to gods, which can work under specific conditions."
When words are just definitions, they feel rigid and rigid. No one knows how powerful words can be.
The roaring in the ears gradually became louder, and green light shone through the gaps. Even on weekends, many laboratories were still working. Ethan opened the metal door and led them into the elevator. The buttons lit up. , gradually away from the ground.
Green lights flashed in the cold and small space, illuminating the steel hammer on the emblem of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Ethan looked at Jiang Chenchuan. Occasionally, he would have the illusion that he was peering into the abyss.
Ding--
The clicking sound of machinery sounded, and it was said that Yinglan Beier invented the steam engine, which ushered in the steam age of industry. The nobles promoted the wonders of steam technology, but concealed the truth that they used the energy of the World Tree.
Ethan opened the metal folding door. Outside the door was obviously a display of the achievements of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, with various inventions and creations neatly and messily placed. He said to Thomas:
"Toma, please take Miss Reina to find out. I have something that I want to talk to Ivel alone."
The sensible Miss Reina didn't say anything. She followed Toma and walked deeper. After taking two steps, she looked back at Jiang Chenchuan. By chance, the metal door of the elevator slowly closed, blocking her view.
"Something's wrong."
This was not a question, but a statement. After the door closed, only Ethan and Jiang Chenchuan were left in the small space.
"If an ordinary person has never known the mystery, he will not want to get anything. But once he steps into this unknown territory, he cannot stop exploring. Ivel, do you know? In order to get the truth, or rather , in order to uncover the mysterious truth, generations of scholars have paid too much price."
"so what?"
"The World Tree...that's the source of everything."
Ethan whispered, he threw away the cigarette butt casually and stamped out the sparks with his feet.
"It can be said that the current Atlas Alchemy Institute has been divided into two factions, which are incompatible with each other. One is the energy faction that believes in the World Tree. They firmly believe that energy can bring a bright future to Yinglan Beier. Crazy Worshiping that mysterious tree and taking it as a goal, they are as fanatical as church believers."
Ethan raised two fingers and continued.
"The other faction is the hostile faction with skepticism. They believe that all disasters stem from mysterious powers. Whether it is the recycling work of the museum or the energy of the World Tree, they are extraordinary things that break the rules. These cannot be The power of control will become a disaster in the future. They advocate abandoning the application of energy, extending the productivity of science and technology, and developing steam technology down-to-earth."
"The two factions are quarreling now. If you were an ordinary person, which faction would you choose after knowing this? If you were an awakened person, which force would you join?"
To maintain the mystery, or to abandon the shackles of mystery...
"Ethan, they seem to have overlooked one point. Existence will not change due to cognition, just like the original question... Is original sin a sin?"
The light above his head became a little stronger, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Jiang Chenchuan seemed to hear the man's laughter.
"I'm surprised, Evel. I thought you would be a conservative centrist. I don't know if you will believe it. I am an extreme antagonist. From a very young age, I imagined that I could invent a kind of Tools, knock down that big tree, the remains of the gods, what a great feat that is..."
The elevator slowly stopped, and the sound of arrival interrupted their subsequent conversation. As the metal door opened, the strong smell of rust hit their faces.
Jiang Chenchuan looked outside the door. It was a huge furnace. The four walls were covered with patterns of magic circles. It was shining with the light of movement. It was the power of alchemy that isolated the high temperature of the furnace, allowing Scholars can travel freely.
The researchers were all working silently. Ethan led Jiang Chenchuan through the invisible protective formation and displayed the largest steel furnace underground in the college in front of Jiang Chenchuan.
"This place was originally created to destroy the relics. Originally, people expected to use high temperature to deal with it, but it had no effect on the relics. Therefore, scholars dare to conclude that the existence form of the relics is not in matter, but in a higher latitude. …”
"soul."
Jiang Chenkawa said it on behalf of Ethan, and also asked casually:
"So, why did you bring me here?"
"You may not believe it, but I want to... find God."
