Chapter 5 Magical Knowledge

"The rain is so beautiful, so beautiful!" (What I see with my eyes is burning!)

In the ward, Lu Yuan held his breath and stared at a small ball of cotton wool and scraps of paper on the table, uttering strange and ancient syllables in his mouth.

This is a common spell in that magical civilization, the fire-burning spell.

Perhaps this is the peculiar commonality of advanced intelligent life. The instincts engraved in the genes of humans on earth and creatures of magical civilization are all "how to make a fire."

On Earth, making fire in the wild is the most important survival skill for outdoor explorers.

In the magical world, the Fire Spell is also the first elementary magic that every magic apprentice learns.

It can be said that fire-burning magic is the simplest and most popular magic.

In the wizarding world, there is a very classic witticism - Oh, my dear Mother Goddess, the old hound just used the fire spell! I swear I saw it.

The fire-burning spell has a very low threshold for use. It only requires an individual, and even a dog can learn it.

But Lu Yuan couldn't do it.

Throughout the morning, he concentrated on chanting the magic spell, but the highly flammable cotton wadding and paper scraps did not change at all, not to mention the flames, and even the temperature did not change.

"It's broken. My talent is not as good as that of a dog?" Lu Yuan's face didn't look good. He took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat, thought carefully for a while, and rejected this judgment:

"No, it can't be a matter of talent. There are only two requirements for the Fire Spell: correct pronunciation, and a certain concentration of magic factors in the air."

"My pronunciation is very standard, and I can clearly differentiate between straight and oblique words."

"And I remember that those favored by God will receive the blessing of the Mother Goddess, and at least they will be baptized in magic talent. I cannot be a middle-aged person, at least I am a little magic genius!"

"As for a certain concentration of magic factors, the requirement for the fire-burning technique is 100 million to one... This ratio is quite exaggerated, equivalent to pouring a bottle of Coke into four hundred West Lakes!"

"So," Lu Yuan paused and deduced the fact that made him helpless:

"There is no magic factor on earth..."

"That's right. I should have thought from the beginning that if there was such a thing as magic, the world shouldn't be like this."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath. Although he had been mentally prepared, it was impossible not to be disappointed.

The power of magical civilization is his only life-saving straw. To overcome the terminal illness, supernatural power is indispensable.

Lu Yuan looked at the sea in the distance for a while, and his thoughts slowly calmed down.

He was a person who loved the ocean, otherwise he would not have chosen to die in this sanatorium. After becoming a favored person of the Mother Goddess, he became more and more affectionate for the ocean. Lu Yuan felt that if he had enough now

With his physical strength, he can definitely swim hundreds of meters in one breath.

"Then...let's try alchemy."

The name "Alchemy" was translated by Lu Yuan himself. In fact, according to the standard definition of magical civilization, this school should be translated as "the interaction between soul and matter and the method of making omnipotent ether".

This school has great influence in magical civilization and can be said to be a prominent school.

Its theory can be generally summarized as "by understanding matter and the soul within matter, to create unique supernatural powers until touching the omnipotent ether."

In other words, "Study things and become a god!"

But the name of this school is too long. How good is the word "alchemy"? It is easy to understand and catchy!

In fact, Lu Yuan pinned most of his hopes on this from the beginning.

The secret of alchemy in the magical world is nothing more than the study of matter and its soul, and then mastering supernatural power. Magisters do not care about the microstructure of metal, but focus on the "soul of metal" that inhabits it!

Earth scientists study atomic physics and molecular structure.

The Grand Mage directly dissects the soul of metal and observes the spirit of wood and stone!

Although they are completely different from each other, they are all serious science...right?

Well, they are all about studying the most general laws of motion and the basic structure of matter. They are almost the same~

Lu Yuan put away the scraps of paper and cotton wool, pushed the joystick without any further delay, and the electric wheelchair moved rustlingly, and he soon left his ward.

To experiment with alchemy, you must have matter.

Although water, copper, iron, etc. can be found everywhere, the introduction to alchemy must start with the simplest substances.

In the Mother Goddess's last dream, although most of the magical knowledge had been eliminated, the accumulation of a glorious and long-standing civilization was so terrifying. The remaining knowledge was enough for Lu Yuan to spend his whole life sorting and interpreting it.

Lu Yuan naturally knows the most common "homework" for alchemy apprentices at the beginning.

However, when Lu Yuan went out to collect alchemy materials, a small episode happened.

There were two people standing in front of the A-02 ward where Su Ranqing was located.

There was a man and a woman, both wearing dark suits. The woman was holding a tablet in her hand and looked like a subordinate.

They seemed to be talking quietly just now, but when they saw Lu Yuan in a wheelchair, they all cautiously shut up, smiled and nodded.

Quite polite... but not like a bodyguard, Lu Yuan thought to himself, nodded with a smile, and passed by the two of them.

No matter what, let’s understand alchemy first.

After confirming that Lu Yuan left without looking back and could not hear their conversation, the woman whispered:

"Lao Gao, this man is a patient in Ward A-03. His name is Lu Yuan. He is 21 this year. He is a terminally ill patient. He should not be a spy."

"Well, it can be seen that he has difficulty moving. He is quite a pitiful young man." Lao Gao nodded:

"Do you even remember the neighbors of the subject of the investigation?"

"Well, you should be prepared for any emergencies, hehe..."

"Haha, I think she was too handsome, so I subconsciously remembered it, right?" Lao Gao joked, pointing to the tablet in the woman's hand:

"Is all Su Ranqing's information here?"

"Well, Su Ranqing, female, eighteen years old, the only daughter of the chairman of Xicheng Bee Electric Group..."

"I didn't ask you to read the information. I'm not so old that I can't even remember the basic information of the investigation target."

"That's...?"

"This is your first field trip since joining the company. I need to explain some things clearly first. Why do you think we should investigate her?"

"Because Su Ranqing is a survivor, although there is only a very small probability, from the perspective of criminal investigation, all living people are suspected of being criminals..."

"Haha, Xiao Lin, you are just like me when I was young. All you can think about is handling cases." Lao Gao looked at this subordinate who was about the same age as his daughter and said softly:

"That's right, Xiao Lin, you have just joined the Special Investigation Bureau, and you haven't figured it out yet... Let me tell you, not only Su Ranqing, but everyone related to the Bai Yushan incident has been investigated by us one by one. Please note,

This is an investigation, not an inquiry!"

"Ah? So... this is just a routine... collecting information?"

"Well, all the survivors and witnesses, a total of 742 people, are not suspects!"

"But Lao Gao, our team leader said that Baiyu Mountain was a vicious incident, not a natural disaster..."

"It's not a natural disaster, nor a man-made disaster...because the person who committed this is probably not a human being!"

Investigator Xiao Lin was stunned. If the person who said this was not a mature and prudent Lao Gao, she would definitely slap him to death with a flat tablet.

Not...a human?

Xiao Lin shuddered, feeling that the worldview he had cultivated over the past twenty years was on the verge of collapse:

"Then, that's...?"

"I don't know either."

"ah?"

"No one knows, in the past two years... Well, in short, the current task of our Special Investigation Bureau is to record all these strange events, collect the experiences of everyone who has witnessed them, and mix their oral accounts with audio and video materials

into big data, and then deduce the actual truth..."

"...This seems to be a very big project, and the key is that it is not very efficient."

"That's right." Lao Gao smiled bitterly:

"But we can only use stupid methods, because some things...can't be explained by science."

He arranged his clothes, took out his ID, and knocked on the ward door:

"Hello, are you Miss Su Ranqingsu? We are public officials of the country, and we are here to understand the situation..."
