The storm was raging, and the ferry was still bumpy, but Xiao Chen was no longer embarrassed. He sat on the deck, leaning against the bulkhead. Within a range of more than one meter, no drop of water could enter, every trace of wind, every drop Rain chose to avoid him in front of him. He became stronger and took the first step to control this world of consciousness. He was still weak and could only use the power of the scroll to exert the power of magic.
When can I have my own strength?
Xiao Chen stared at the lightning in the sky, and the power of the lightning was powerful and majestic and shocking.
He never wanted such a power.
If it's in the outside world, if he holds such a powerful hand in that burning night, will the goblins and other debris not matter?
Xiao Chen probed his consciousness into the sky.
Extremely slow and extremely difficult.
But he insisted, one point, one inch, slowly extending ...
I don't know how long after that, he felt that he was photographed on the shoulder and woke up.
The wind and rain disappeared without a trace. It was an autumn high and refreshing afternoon. The sun shone a little hot on the body, but the wind on the top of the building was a little cool. Xiao Chen saw from Yu Guang that a plain hand was being removed from his shoulder.
Xiao Chen turned back, it was Luo Ling and a man.
"You're quite lazy, and found such a good place on the roof." Luo Ling threw an apple over and Xiao Chen caught it.
"The pollution-free, natural fruits produced in the village of Samelia, except for being small and unsweetened, are pretty good."
Luo Ling took out another apple and took a bite. She smiled brightly, just like the sun, which made people a little warm, but after a long time, it made people's faces sweat.
Xiao Chen wiped the apple with the corner of his clothes, and bit off half of it. He said helplessly: "The expedition team has stopped working. Let me breathe for the rest of my life."
He glanced at the man with his hands behind his back again and said, "This is this?"
"Qin Mu, like Teacher Luo, is also the teacher of the school. The second expedition team was led by the two of us." Qin Mu habitually reached out, but seeing Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, the right hand is sticky The muddy apple juice drew back his hand. He said in a concerned tone: "Student Xiao, we have heard about all the things we encountered this time. It is really too much pressure on your students."
Luo Ling blinked at Xiao Chen and said, "Student Xiao, Teacher Qin heard about your business, so I must come to console you."
Xiao Chen's mouth was full of apples, and he said vaguely: "Then I would like to thank Teacher Qin for caring. No one would have expected such things in the wild."
"It seems that you are recovering very well and your spirit is not bad. The young people just need to have perseverance, but if they can't be hit, they flinch." Qin Mu patted Xiao Chen's shoulder heavily.
Seeing Luo Ling secretly smirking, Xiao Chen glanced at her secretly and said to Qin Mu, who is "lovely and sincere": "Yeah, I can't stand alone like Teacher Qin. I still have to follow our leader Luo next time. Go. Team leader, what do you say? "
"Ah? Okay." Luo Ling should be quick.
"Cough cough." Qin Mu coughed a few times and asked, "I heard that the goblins are not very tall? The fighting power is not strong, just a large number?"
"Indeed, Mr. Qin's stature can handle ten of them," Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Student Xiao, don't bury me. I'm in a dangerous place. I would rather lower my posture and lose Jingzhou. We will make good plans in the future so that we are not in danger. Are you saying?"
"Fortunately, we first met a goblin, so that Teacher Qin had the opportunity to make a plan. Next time, maybe it can save lives."
"Hehe." Qin Mu touched his nose and said to Luo Ling: "Your good student is not ordinary." Waving to Xiao Chen again, "If you continue to work hard, I still have a meeting and I have to go first!"
"Is this person tired?" As soon as Qin Mu left, Xiao Chen complained.
"Ms. Qin took the initiative to visit you, it has nothing to do with me." Luo Ling said with a smile. "However, he seems to be able to arouse your fighting spirit."
"He wanted to write everything on his face, not to you ..."
"Okay, don't talk about him. I'm here to remind you that the report has been submitted to the committee for you. But you must still accept their inquiry. After all, the death of Lin Lao is not something that can be taken casually. I Hearing some bad news, Zhao Rui seems to put the responsibility on Zhang Sicheng and you. And Zhang Sicheng seems to recognize it. "
"The soldiers will block it." Xiao Chen sighed and said.

"Good place, really good place!" Morey put on Xiao Chen's shirt and trousers and walked on the road to campus. He held a folding fan in one hand, a plastic electronic watch on his wrist, a magazine in his other hand, and a pair of frog mirrors on his face. These were exchanged for the gold coins and passers-by he had hidden in his clothes. These householders spent almost all his savings, but his interest was rising.
Li Jia is also looking at Morey. The young man who speaks Chinese proficiently is only twenty-four or five years old. His face is sharp and angular, and he has short dark red hair, which is very handsome. The shirt and sunglasses made him look like an international student walking on campus.
Her hair is also of this color, Li Jia couldn't help thinking. And these roads, he walked with her. The same curious eyes, the same questions. However, at that time he was so happy, but now he feels tired, hesitant and uninteresting. Until now, Li Jia was not sure whether she had betrayed herself, or put herself in the position of a traitor.
"Yo, what kind of building is this? It's so beautiful and magnificent, but it was burnt by fire?" Morey asked with a fan, pointing away from the library. This question temporarily pulled Li Jia's soul back.
"That's the library. It caught fire a few days ago." Li Jia didn't want to talk more about this matter and simply replied.
"Is there no fire array in the library?" Morey wondered, "Is the loss great?"
"Fortunately, probably burned more than two thousand books." Li Jia replied dumbly.
"More than two thousand copies? God of Nature, what a loss this is. The person who caused the fire must be severely punished! If something like this happens to the Kingdom Library, the director of the library will definitely be beheaded by the King! If I ignited a fire in the teacher ’s library, and he will definitely make me a golem. "Mori Yi said these words angrily, making Li Jia confused.
"What are you?"
"Books! That's all knowledge! From the first day I recognized the words, the teacher said: 'You and I will be destroyed, only knowledge will last forever.', 'People who don't respect books, do not deserve any respect.' , 'Every book is an angel born hard.' Don't you have a similar statement? "
"Ah, ah, it seems ... makes sense, but the fire was burned from the bookshelf of" News Magazine "and" Successful Learning ", which is considered a great fortune."
"News magazine? Successful learning? What is that?"
"Uh, you understand it as waste paper."
"What's that?" Morey again pointed at a construction site in the distance with a folding fan and asked with interest.
Li Jia hesitated and replied: "That is a small blast furnace under construction. They are going to try iron making."
"It is possible to make iron with such a furnace, the dwarves forge with a stove and a hammer, and the alchemist analyzes the iron with a formation method. I did not expect there is a way to use this blast furnace."
He took off his sunglasses and asked carefully: "Can you tell me more about it? Or let me go and see it?"
"I'm sorry, I can only take you around in public areas for Xiao Chen. Some places can't even let me in. Besides, this stove is still too early to finish." Li Jia shook his head and said after a while, "Actually nothing, just burn iron ore, coal and limestone together."
Morey pondered the chin with his fan for a while, and suddenly said, "Li Jia, please say to Xiao Chen, I want to stay. I am willing to exchange my knowledge and technology with you with my alchemy. Even as an alchemist , For you! "
Li Jia looked at him unexpectedly. Did this person realize the value of our technology so quickly?
To be honest, he didn't quite understand why Xiao Chen brought this person back. It took a lot of effort to get the committee to agree to keep this person on campus, and he solemnly asked him to entertain him. In Li Jia's view, the backwardness of the world shows that the locals have no technology to worry about. As for alchemy, is n’t this a scam plus superstition on earth?
He was considering how to gently refuse the request, but saw Morey take out a small bottle from his arms.
Morey pulled Li Jia to a lawn-side stone table, opened the bottle in his puzzled eyes, and stretched out a silver wire with his fingertips, dipped it in the red liquid dipped in the bottle, using the line as a pen Painted on the stone table.
The red line twists gently and twists, slowly forming characters and lines. Li Jia was surprised to find that these characters are very similar to the Chinese Xiao Zhuan, but the characters have a lot of shape variations and distortions, which are not square and square. These characters are also combined with various dots and lines to form a new picture of.
Morey often overlapped one word on another, and the words intersected and covered each other, which soon became difficult to recognize.
Li Jia could not recognize a few small seals, but only reluctantly recognized a word "Lian" and a word "Fen", and the other dozens of words were completely unknown. He just feels that Morley's words have a strong sense of harmony as a whole. When Morey wrote for more than ten minutes and finally stopped writing, the faint red light from the entire array appeared like a neon light embedded on the stone table.
"Look, this is the alchemy I learned, inherited from the Moncayo school, the highest level in the mainland." Morey boasted proudly, "I know you come from a completely different place from here, this must be for you useful."
Having said that, he took a gold coin from his pocket and placed it in the middle of the magic circle, then read a spell gently, and the gold coin was immediately surrounded by a red smoke rising from the magic circle for almost a minute After the smoke dissipated, two square pieces of metal appeared on the magic array, the large piece was gold and the small piece was gray-black.
"This is ... the refining of metal?" Li Jia stared at the piece of gold shining brightly in the sun, and couldn't even speak.
"Yes, this is the core of alchemy, but it is also the most useless formation, the alchemy formation. This is real pure gold, and the small ones are impurities in the gold coins. I also have iron smelting, copper smelting, and many metal smelting. The formation of the formation, and the formation of synthetic metal formation. "
"It's amazing, why is this useless?" Li Jia puzzled.
Morey shook the small red bottle. "The material used to make the Alchemy Circle is more expensive than that piece of gold, but it is still unheard of technology for you, isn't it?"
