The elves and dwarves in the distance were also watching this scene in a daze.
Although they had been prepared, they were still a little shocked when they actually saw the land rising into the sky.
It's not that none of them can fly, but even the Queen of Titania can't do it on an island in the sky suspended in the air for such a long time.
Even the royal city of the Fairy Country, Baicheng, can only be located on the earth.
The sky is the domain of God.
The magic of the human world simply cannot make people stay in the sky for a long time.
But at this moment, they saw it.
This magic school must be the safest place in the world, and no place is safer than the sky.
A large amount of black earth was locked by the roots of the giant tree and was brought up to the sky.
This island in the sky is not only wide enough, but also thick enough, even for growing crops, there is no problem, and the land is very fertile.
As for water resources.
Before that, Xia Ya had discussed with Tony that the sky was not short of water resources at all.
Those white clouds floating in the sky are all made of water vapor, and the water vapor can be easily extracted using some special magic.
Enough land can also lock in enough water, and even staying in the clouds is actually enough.
The first batch of students in this school will not be too many.
What the people on the high platform saw now was a different kind of scenery.
Diagonally above is the blue sky, the lush canopy of trees blocks the sky and the sun, and wherever you look, you can see the endless sea of clouds.
This is an indescribable spectacle.
Char and Alicia looked much calmer. After all, their castle could fly, and they had seen this kind of scenery before.
Tony also has a wide range of knowledge. He has been on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aerospace plane not once or twice.
But Bejania was a little excited.
"It actually really flew.
A city in the sky!
I actually created a city in the sky!
This is definitely a miracle that can go down in history! ! "
His complexion was slightly rosy.
Char looked at Tony, "How is it?"
Tony was holding a very wasteland simple device in his hand. He lowered his head and looked at the data displayed on it and nodded.
"The energy can be balanced. As long as you pay attention to replenishing fuel in the future, you can keep flying."
Xia Ya nodded. There is plenty of fuel required for nuclear fusion in the ocean, so there is no need to worry at all.
"The next step is to officially start recruiting staff." Xia Ya whispered softly.
In addition to teachers, most of the students are underage children, and they are in a boarding school, so they must have a boarding house to take care of them.
Although the castle's sanitation can be protected from dust through dust-proof spells, some people are also needed to provide food for so many students in the castle, as well as to take care of the castle gardens.
He looked at Bejania, "You should know the more powerful alchemists in White City, right?"
Bejania nodded, "Yes, what do you want to do?"
"I want to invite him to be the alchemy teacher of this school." Xia Ya said.
"This" Bejania's expression was a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Xia Ya asked.
"You also know." Begania whispered, "All alchemists have been pursuing the Philosopher's Stone throughout their lives. They regard it as the end of alchemy, and the same is true for my friend.
The research of alchemy consumes resources, so he will also take on some alchemy work to earn funds.
But other than that, he won't do other things that waste time.
Teaching students was just that for him. "
"Then he has never taught students?" Xia Ya asked.
"Indeed," Bejania said, "He had a student more than a hundred years ago, but he had very high requirements for his students."
"Then can you introduce someone to me?"
"who?"
Char pointed to Tony on one side, "Him."
Bejania looked at Tony with some surprise, "Isn't he an alchemist?"
He was present when Tony activated cold fusion.
Alchemy is very similar to chemistry, so when he performed those chemical operations, he thought Tony was also an alchemist.
"He's not," Char said.
Bejania nodded, thought for a while and said, "You gave me this opportunity to design such a building, I owe you a favor.
I can recommend you, but I can't guarantee that he will accept this gentleman.
He is very demanding and has an eccentric personality.
Moreover, he has not had an apprentice for more than a hundred years.
With all due respect, I have no confidence in this. "
"That's no coincidence." Tony raised his head slightly and said, "I also have very high requirements for teachers."
Bejania's face froze and looked at Char.
And Xia Ya smiled and said, "Let him try it."
Then, Xia Ya took these people off the high platform.
He linked the castle door to a door in the principal's office in the school.
Through that door, they returned to the White City.
And Begania also took Tony directly to find his alchemist friend.
The alchemist's house is located on the ground floor of Baicheng. It is a very corner house and the house is also very dilapidated. Perhaps it is because the research of alchemy requires a lot of materials, so even if he makes a lot of money, he actually has no money. Not much left.
However, he probably made a lot of money from Xia during this period.
Without knocking, Bejania opened the door directly, and a strange smell hit his nostrils. It was the smell of some very pungent chemicals.
There are some ancient parchments scattered here and there, and there are many spots stained by unknown chemical substances on the walls, floor, and tabletop.
Many bottles and cans were placed on one of the tables. The bottles contained red, white, pink, green, liquids and powders of various colors.
But Tony felt that it wasn't dye.
In the middle of these messy displays, a half-century-old man wearing a shabby black robe was leaning over the table and studying something. He wore zoom glasses composed of many lenses. There was a gold coin on the table, and beside him A piece of lead.
There are some other metals and potions scattered around.
"Is there anything else?" The man seemed to be aware of Bejania's entry and asked without looking back.
"I found a student for you, Punk," Bejania said.
"Student?" Punk frowned slightly, "I haven't done anything that troublesome in many years."
"I owe someone a favor," Begania said.
"So you let me pay it back?" Punk said sarcastically.
Bejania put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "If I hadn't given you this order, you wouldn't even be able to afford food now.
You owe me a favor too, Punk. "
Punk was silent for a moment, then he raised his glasses and turned his head to look at Tony.
His eyes were green, with a sophisticated look in them.
And Tony was looking at him with the same sophisticated look.
"My patience is limited and I will only give you one chance."
Punk walked to the table on one side and pushed the books and papers on the table aside, revealing an area.
He picked up the chalk and drew a magic circle on the table, and then placed a glass of water on the magic circle.
"You should be able to basically mobilize magic power, right?"
Tony nodded, "I have learned a little bit."
"This is the formation formation." Punk turned around and sat back in his seat.
"By inputting magic power, matter can be decomposed and reconstructed.
But the premise is that you can understand the nature of matter.
If you can break the rest out of the water, you're qualified.
If all you get out of decomposition is water, then leave. "
He originally thought that the person behind him would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but who would have thought that he would hear something next.
"It's that simple?"
"Simple?" Punk raised his eyebrows and looked at Tony displeased, "Do you know how much wisdom is contained in water?"
Then, he saw Tony slowly step forward to the side of the practiced formation, put his hand on the formation, and tried to input magic power into the formation.
A faint radiance lit up the lines of the magic circle, and then the water in the cup decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly decomposing into some gas that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
But at the same time, Tony took out a homemade lighter from his side pocket and made a clicking sound.
The hydrogen gas was quickly ignited, and the blue flame flickered in the darkness.
The flames seemed to have burned away the oxygen in the space, making it extremely quiet.
He looked at Punk, whose eyes were slightly focused.
"The chemical formula of water is H2O, which can decompose hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is flammable and oxygen supports combustion. My children who are less than ten years old all know this stuff."
Understand, decompose, reconstruct...
Tony now had some guesses about the nature of this alchemy.
In that case, the science he knows may also be applicable here...
He looked at the things on Punk's table and said.
"I heard that you are researching the technology of turning stone into gold?"
Punk came to his senses, but was speechless.
"What progress has the research made?" Tony asked.
"Do you understand the structure of gold?
Or do we just stop at atoms and just know that gold is made of gold elements? "
Punk, who was silent for a while, slowly said, "What is an atom?"
"The basic particles that make up the elements." Tony said, "Elements only talk about their types but not their numbers. Atoms talk about their types as well as their numbers.
All matter in this world is basically made of atoms, including life. "
Punk's frown relaxed slightly. He could still understand this. He just decomposed matter into the smallest monomers. He had done this kind of experiment in the past, but he collectively called them monomer elements.
"If you only study atoms, you won't be able to find the commonalities between gold and other substances."
Tony leaned on the table and said, "You need to study the smaller world, which is the composition of atoms."
"You knew?" Punk asked.
"In my place, everyone under the age of twenty knows these things." Tony raised his eyebrows.
“All atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
The element gold consists of 79 protons, 118 neutrons and 79 electrons. "
He pointed to the lead on the table, "Lead is composed of 82 protons, 82 electrons, and 125 neutrons. The difference between most atoms is the number of protons and the number of electrons.
In other words. "
Tony raised his head and looked at Punk.
“As long as you have a way to change these, you can turn stone into gold.
Of course, it's not that simple, and there are some basic force issues you need to solve. "
"What is the basic force?" Punk asked. As a scholar, he had the intuition of a scholar, and he could feel that Tony was not talking nonsense.
Tony's eyelids closed slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc.
"I haven't taught students in a long time."
He looked at Punk.
"Besides, my requirements are very high."
Begania looked at Punk and then at Tony.
He always felt that things seemed to be progressing in a direction he didn't expect.
