Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3139 Alchemy forbidden area
As for whether Sterling will offer other conditions besides points, Angor does not know yet.

However, if Portia really proposed to him the knowledge of exchanging life-transforming magic patterns, he could only ask Stirling...

Yes, he was going to ask in his own name.

As for the price to pay, he must be the one to pay.

After all, when His Excellency Kantor was in the Sea of ​​Misty, he responded to his "shaking people". Angel must repay this friendship.

"If I need to find Sterling later, I wonder if I can ask Antonio to contact him for me." Angel looked at Antonio.

Antonio nodded: "Of course, I believe Mr. Sterling will definitely agree to meet."

Is it because Antonio deliberately boasted? In the past few hundred years, as long as a member of the Research and Development Institute came to Sterling, he never refused.

How can the wool of other wizards compare to the crispness of the wool of the Research and Development Institute?

Therefore, if Sterling knew that Angel was looking for him, he would definitely agree to meet.

Angel: "Then I will trouble you."

Antonio touched his chest and saluted: "You are welcome, it is my duty to serve the members of the R&D Institute."

Angor thanked Midora again. His proposal seems to be the most feasible at present.Sure enough, for the research and development institute, it must be right to find Midora.

Midora smiled and said, "Then you meet Portia next, do you need me to help you?"

It is said to be helping, but it is actually Luezhen.

Moreover, with Midora present, Portia probably wouldn't mention life alchemy.

This sounds like a good thing, but Midora's presence may also make Portia feel alert. —People who do evil things secretly are often more sensitive than others.

Although what Portia did was not outright banned, it was still taboo in the eyes of the general public.

Otherwise, Portia would not have done it secretly.

So, after thinking about it, Angel rejected Midora's raid.

He planned to talk to Portia directly.

If Portia's side really can't agree at all, that's okay, anyway, he has already got the news from Sterling's side, and he can go another way.

Seeing that Angor insisted on seeing Portia alone, Midora did not dissuade her.As long as it is confirmed that Angel does not support Portia's involvement in the restricted area of ​​alchemy, then it is not a big deal for him to meet Portia alone.

Midora even faintly felt a pity. If Angel was not too young, he would have tried to match him and Portia. Under the nourishment of love, maybe Portia would gradually relax her desire for life alchemy?

However, then again, although it is not easy to match Angel and Portia, you can try other methods to stop Portia silently.

Although he is not as good at playing outside the box as Dean Muse, he can still try.

Midora was thinking of an out-of-the-box move to deal with Portia, while saying goodbye to Angel, and temporarily walked out of the signal tower.

He didn't leave immediately, but stayed in a small alchemy shop that he frequented nearby. He was going to wait for Portia to leave before contacting Angel to see how far Portia had traveled on the road to the alchemy restricted area. .

After Midora left, Antonio also left.However, before leaving, Antonio also helped to contact Portia.

It just so happened that Portia was in the Fantasy Machinery City, and it didn't take long to come to the signal tower.

Angel looked at the empty light screen on the opposite side, silently waiting for Portia's arrival.

……

While waiting, Olao looked at Angel with curious eyes: "Can I ask a question?"

In their previous conversation, Olao heard many questions that puzzled him, but he was too embarrassed to interrupt, and he held back until now before he found a chance to ask.

Angel glanced at Olao, but didn't answer immediately, but turned off the "call" function of the light screen first, so as to prevent the conversation from this side from being transmitted to the other side.

After doing all this, Angel nodded: "Yes."

Olao immediately moved to Angel's side, bent down, and asked, "I heard from you just now that life alchemy is a restricted area for alchemy?"

"It is." Angel took a step back while talking, raised his head and looked at Olao: "You'd better stay away from me, I'm not used to people looking at my head and talking..."

Olao, who was three meters tall, looked down at him even though he was bent over.

Before they were separated by a little distance, there was no such awkward feeling, but now that they are in the same room, this awkward feeling came immediately.

Olao pressed his hat, and stepped back obediently.

Olao: "Why is life alchemy a restricted area for alchemy?"

Angel looked at Olao suspiciously: "Are you very interested in this question?"

Olao scratched his hair under the brim of the hat: "It's not that I'm interested... I just remember that Miss Margaret has been looking for a way to refine life for a while, and everyone in Naraku City knows about it."

Just because Olao knew about it, he was very puzzled: Ten thousand years ago, Margaret could openly and honestly search for the method of life alchemy, but now it has become a restricted area for alchemy?

Angel was stunned when he heard Olao's words: "Margaret is looking for a method of life alchemy? Did you remember wrongly, it's not life alchemy, but biological alchemy?"

Bioalchemy is not the same as life alchemy.

Although bioalchemy sounds scary, it is actually a discipline with an extremely rigorous academic closed loop.But life alchemy is different, it involves the forbidden law in the bottom logic of the world.

Bioalchemy focuses on transformation, while life alchemy focuses on...creation.

In the words of some religious fanatics - the creation of life belongs to the domain of "gods", and human beings touch it to seek rebellion.

Of course, wizards do not believe in gods, but based on the experience summed up by countless predecessors, it is basically certain that the creation of intelligent life will definitely touch the law of depth, and everything related to the law of depth is absolutely forbidden.

It is precisely because of being in an absolute forbidden zone that the birth of Toby is a miracle that cannot be replicated until now.

but--

An absolute forbidden area does not mean that wizards are afraid to touch it.

Wizards are a group of people who pursue the truth. For the truth, they can turn into moths to catch the fire one after another.

However, if you want to touch the absolute forbidden zone, you must meet two conditions, that is, the "entry threshold".

Either, you are powerful enough to face the dangers of countless laws of depth; or, your breadth of knowledge is already able to dissect the secrets of laws of depth.

If one of these two conditions is not met, if you touch the absolute penalty area, there will basically be no good end.

Dead, crazy, mutated, and even disappeared without a sound... These are the consequences of touching the restricted area.

The original Ivo just disappeared without a sound.Although Angor accidentally found him later, confirming that he had lost all his memory and turned into a "plot NPC" in something out of order, it has to be said that this ending was actually not very good.

It is precisely because the Research and Development Institute knows the horror of the absolute forbidden zone that it reminds members time and time again not to get involved.

However, no prohibition is required.

Some genius wizards often go astray when they find it difficult to see the way forward.

Whether it was Ivo Spirit back then or Portia today, it was the same.

While Angor was thinking, Olao pondered for a moment, and replied, "I'm pretty sure it's not biological alchemy, but life alchemy."

Angel was surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down again.

For this answer, I am a little surprised...but it makes sense.

Olao: "Could it be that there has been a deviation in the alchemy circle during the ten thousand years?"

Angel thought for a while and replied: "There is no deviation between the alchemy circle ten thousand years ago and the current alchemy circle. However, in terms of the overall background, there is still a little difference."

"Thousands of years ago, the Southern Territory did not cut off access to the other three-party wizarding world, and there was a direct way to the source world. At the same time, legendary wizards emerged in large numbers." Angle paused: "Even, miracle wizards occasionally appear in the Southern Territory .”

"In this context, life alchemy is a challenge, but it is not an absolute forbidden area."

There are two completely different situations with legendary wizards and without legendary wizards.A legendary wizard represents a powerful strength and an incomparably profound knowledge base.

And the entry threshold for exploring life alchemy happens to be: strength is the sail, and knowledge is the beacon.

With such conditions, exploring life alchemy will naturally not become an absolute forbidden zone.At best, it's...an ordinary restricted area, people are not advised to enter, but no one cares if you do enter.

After listening to Angel's explanation, Olao seemed to understand something: "So that's it. So, it seems that the current alchemy circle is not as good as it used to be?"

Angel: "The environment is different, and the development will naturally be different."

Angel's words sound official, but in fact he has already said the main points he wants to express: "environment" and "development".

The environment, of course, refers to the big background.And development... since it is development, it means a big step forward, no matter whether this step is wrong or right, at least it is moving forward.

Angor doesn't worship the past and derogate the present, Jon's enlightenment teaching gave him a more rational brain.

There is no point in comparing good and bad, everything is just another template for the unfolding of civilization.

He once chatted with Frost and learned a lot of secrets. For example, even if the other three wizarding worlds had not severed their connection with the source world, they hadn't made any decent progress in the development of alchemy.

Therefore, the existence of life alchemy is not the criterion for judging the quality of the alchemy circle.

Even in the source world, life alchemy is something that very few people will explore, and it is a true genius field.

"Compared to these, I'm actually more curious about what step Margaret has taken on the road of life alchemy?" Angel looked at Olao.

Olao: "I don't know about that. However, as far as I know, Miss Margaret didn't find a way to refine life before the accident happened in Naraku City."

Angel frowned: "Didn't find it? Didn't she find the magic circle that transforms matter into life?"

Margaret ten thousand years ago was an enchanted alchemist, which Angel can confirm.The various alchemy books he found in Margaret's boudoir in Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm all proved this conclusion.

It is precisely because she knew that Margaret was an enchantment alchemist back then, so Angel also understood that the life alchemy she was looking for must be the magic circle that transforms matter into life.

——This is also what Portia hoped Angel would help to find. However, Portia didn't know the existence of this magic circle. She asked Angel to help find the relevant magic pattern, not the magic circle.

"I'm pretty sure Miss Margaret wasn't found." Olao reconfirmed.

His words caused Angel to fall into deep thought for a long time.

Because, in the alchemy book found by Angel in Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm, there are records related to the magic array... even, more than one.

Angel knew that after the Nightmare Realm reflected reality, many things would undergo astonishing changes.

For example, the wise ruler of Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm is just a greedy three-eyed blue devil without any wisdom.

For another example, the Clear Sky Poetry Room in reality is the place where Augustine and Margaret meet; but the Clear Sky Poetry Room in the Nightmare Realm has undergone a terrifying mutation!According to Augustine's own account, he once went to Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm, but he didn't dare to enter the Clear Sky Poetry Room inside, and he couldn't even get close enough to get a glimpse.

Although the Nightmare Realm reflects reality, it is far higher than reality.

Angel knew that matter and life would be horribly distorted in the Nightmare Realm, but what he didn't expect was that even knowledge... could mutate.

Margaret did not find the method of life alchemy, but in the "Basics of Alchemy" that Angel found in the Nightmare Realm, there is already a related matter-to-life magic array.

And this is just the "basic" of alchemy.

You know, the knowledge that Angel remembers is not limited to "Basics of Alchemy"!
The more he got to know the Nightmare Realm, the more Angel felt that the Nightmare Realm was unfamiliar... Where did this power to reflect and distort reality come from?

Angel even thought, could the Nightmare Realm be the "mystery" itself?

After all, Angel had only seen such a completely illogical power in mysterious objects.

But the entire nightmare world is mysterious, which is obviously impossible...

Angel thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with any reasonable explanation. He simply shook his head and threw away all these tedious thoughts.

He is just a little wizard now, thinking about the world far beyond his personality, and letting others know, he will only laugh.

Moreover, high-level knowledge will have high-level traps.

Therefore, the best way is not to think about it, so as not to fall into the pit.

A few minutes after Angel gave up thinking about the nightmare world, the picture on the light screen suddenly shook.

A witch wearing a witch flower veil appeared in the picture.

The veil is very thin, and the witch's smile can be clearly seen under the gauze.

"Little brother Angel, we meet again."

Familiar taste, familiar name.

There was no doubt that it was Portia who came.
