Endless Debt

Hart came to inform Boluogo. The sublimation furnace core sent a message asking Boluogo to go. He happened to be in China, so he notified Jeffrey on his behalf.

After a brief conversation with Boluogo, Hart looked distant and turned around to leave.

"Are you ready for the three trials?"

After arriving at the sublimation furnace core and seeing Badr, Bologg asked. Apart from Amu's repair, the three trials were the only thing he cared about recently. As for his partner Palmer?

If Palmer doesn't come back, Bologo will almost forget that he still has such a partner.

Thinking back now, in daily life, Palmer's only use for him was to ride his bike to take him there. Now that he was temporarily staying in the Immortal Club, Palmer's only use was gone.

"We are ready, but the ceremony is still being debugged. You need to wait for a while," Badr led the way. "After all, this is our first time to conduct three trials at the same time."

"I know, it looks like there should be a lot of people watching, right?" Bologo said.

"About that, after learning the news, some old guys also crawled out of the scholars' hall, ready to observe and observe." Bader explained.

"Hall of Scholars?"

Boluogo's expression was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that this matter would involve the Hall of Scholars.

The Hall of Scholars is a branch within the Sublimation Furnace Core. They are composed of a group of alchemy masters and are responsible for researching many top-secret projects. They are the core research department of the Sublimation Furnace Core and even the entire Bureau of Order.

In the sublimation furnace core, those old guys who have retired from their positions will eventually gather there and devote the rest of their lives to the study of the secret source.

"There are a few old guys who are very interested in you, and the minister can't refuse them, so he has to let them come." Badr said.

Boluogo nodded and expressed his understanding. Although Bailey was a minister, he was still a little unsatisfied in the eyes of the old guys in the Hall of Scholars.

This is another reason why Bailey was able to become a minister at such a young age. The old guys who can hold this position are all huddled in the hall of scholars and do not come out all day long.

Other guys with the same qualifications, but not as talented as Bailey, can only listen to her.

"Yes, these guys can be regarded as ancestors."

Baldr rarely told a joke, and Boluogo couldn't help but smile along with him.

The sublimation furnace core has a completely different position promotion method from other parts. Although many positions in the sublimation furnace core are held by young people like Bailey, they are more responsible for administrative functions, and the main research is still carried out by Come to the Hall of Scholars.

Those old guys hid in the dark underground, leaving all the troubles to others and focusing on their own research.

If those things had not happened, TEDA would now be a member of the Hall of Scholars after resigning, devoting all his energy to research.

After talking about this, Boluogo suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "Can I go to the Scholars Hall to see it?"

"No, these old guys are already considered important assets of the Bureau of Order. Anyone who goes there must get approval from the decision-making room." Bader replied.

These old guys are walking books of knowledge, and the worst among them, the one who serves tea and pours water, must be a master of alchemy.

"Why do you want to go there?" Badr asked again.

"Just thinking that these guys are so important and eager for the secret source... they shouldn't die so easily, right?" Boluogo muttered.

There is nothing left after death. With the level of obsession of these scholars, in order to study and understand the secret source, they should try their best to stay alive.

"The Border Sanatorium has a medical team that is directly connected to the Hall of Scholars. There is also a lot of money in the sublimation furnace core every year, which is used to keep those old people alive." Bader said.

"Then I understand."

Borogo nodded, remembering the report about his gift.

After so many years, he thought that the researcher at that time was dead, but after realizing the Hall of Scholars, Boluogo felt that maybe the other person was still alive, relying on the medical assistance of the border sanatorium, like a living dead, just to meet him. The secret source is closer.

If the situation is true, Boluogo may have an opportunity to talk directly to the other party and learn about the past.

"This is about the content of the three trials. During the waiting time, you can take another look and make more preparations," Bader then said, "You can wait over there. It's almost done. I will come to pick you up. .”

Bologg followed the direction of Baldur's finger. He understood where Baldur was pointing and put the document away. Bologg said it was okay.

After parting ways with Badr, Boluogo followed a familiar route. The gates opened one after another, and the blue light flooded his body.

Bologg found a chair and sat down. Before opening the file, Bologg looked up at the container behind the glass wall.

After this period of repair, Aimu's condition has improved a lot. She is like a baby, with her legs together, then holding her knees with her hands, curling up like a baby.

A lot of the parts haven't been put back together yet, but at least she looks like a human now rather than a broken artifact.

The cold metal body was soaked in the solution. Bailey had not re-coated Aimu. Now she was covered in metallic silver, with rivet marks on the edges of the metal.

At this moment, Aimu is no different from a real doll, with a shimmering light in her eyes. She is still running stably. Unfortunately, she is still unable to give any feedback to the outside world, and her senses are still being adjusted.

Boluogo stared at it for a while, withdrew his gaze, and turned to open the document about the three trials.

In the theory of alchemy, alchemists can qualitatively transform metals, freeing cold substances from their mortal nature and promoting them to higher levels. This can also be applied to the promotion of condensers. The promotion ceremony has a great impact on the soul. Sublimation is like a qualitative change in metal.

Kill the mortal nature and eliminate impurities.

However, before the advancement of promotion, mortal souls need to pass the test of the threefold law, that is, the threefold trial.

The three substances of salt, sulfur, and mercury correspond to the human body, mind, and soul.

This is easy to understand. Anyone who has read "Golden Discourse" can understand the principle.

The Trial of Salt will strengthen the body of the Sublime One, making the body that holds the soul tougher and expanding its capacity so that it can support a more powerful soul.

The Trial of Sulfur corresponds to the soul of the Sublime One, and can also be understood as the will.

The body is the carrier for the condenser to walk in the world, and the soul is the cornerstone of the condenser's power, and all of this requires a strong will to unify and execute.

Mortal will will be easily defeated, but the soul that has experienced the trial of sulfur will no longer be cowardly. The willpower of those who have passed this trial will be greatly strengthened, thus resisting the influence of evil spirits. .

The Mercury Trial is a test of the soul. After the baptism of this trial, the soul of the condenser will become more solid and prepare for the next promotion ceremony.

It can be said that the Mercury Trial does not significantly increase the sublimation person itself, but it can make the subsequent promotion safer and then complete the sublimation.

Therefore, the Trinity reaches sublimation.
