Knights of the Light

Alan's lab bench.

The clean test tube was picked up carefully, and the golden liquid in the tube was like a molten gold nugget, magnificent and brilliant.

With his mana shield on his back, Alan carefully injected a microliter of the reagent with a pipette.

boom! ! !

There was a huge explosion, and when the heat passed through the test tube rack, there was even a shrill sonic boom. Fortunately, the entire experimental equipment had been immobilized with high-level spells, otherwise, the cost of repurchasing the equipment would be enough for Alan to lose his fortune.

"It failed again." Alan shrugged and looked at the empty experimental medicine in the bottle with a bit of heartache.

This high-level reagent was bought for him by the teacher, and he fumbled for a long time when the expensive one gave him money.

Still no results until run out.

Next to it is a large pile of reference books, which he has already flipped through once.

The teacher said that research is to exchange time for knowledge, it is true, and time is not necessarily exchanged.

Really distressed.

But if you think about it, if the divine blood is so easy to remove, you are not worthy of such terrifying power.

"Why don't you kill other descendants of the blood?" the skeleton in the red cloak asked puzzled.

"Why should I kill? I'm a relative after all." Alan snapped his fingers, and the books were quickly controlled by the invisible wind of mana, and most of them flew back to their original positions on the bookshelf, leaving only a few that he still used.

"But they will kill each other until there is only one left. The final person will inherit the power of the gods completely. Don't you want to be moved?" The skeleton floated to his side and asked curiously.

"Since he is so powerful, why did Bei kill him back then?" Alan continued to copy the contents of the book without raising his head.

"..." The skeleton was at a loss for words for a while, and after a long while, he found an excuse, "It was the crimson star's bad thing back then, if it hadn't shaken all the gods down, no matter how powerful Bei was, he wouldn't have been able to enter the realm of the gods, otherwise the gods would have given up later." He made so much trouble, didn't he kill him?"

"Aofa and Percy are my pursuits. It's fine to become a god. I'm not interested." Alan finished transcribing and continued to flip through other books.

"Recently, we don't have enough servants in the mage tower. It's time to recruit people, otherwise the upgrade will be affected." Skeleton saw that he was really not interested, so he didn't continue this topic.

"Ah, did you use it so fast?" Alan mentally calculated his recent progress and was stunned.

The mage tower is very important to a mage. In addition to being the mana center of the surrounding cities, it also has extremely useful functions such as combing the magic net, saving energy, and amplifying the output of magic power. In addition, it is also a mage's research institution.

A mature mage tower should not only have a high-level mage, but also middle and low-level students.

Mages usually divide their subjects into groups to study magic subjects and potions, because it is impossible for every mage to waste time on configuring known potions and reaction reagents. Every stable experimental data on magic requires precious and accurate data. Otherwise, all kinds of incompatibility reactions will occur. Failure is good. There are all kinds of mages who are killed by failure, and it is simply not something that one person can do.

Before Alinda left, there were not many middle-level and low-level mages left. Recently, Alan opened up a lot of subjects, and it is normal that there are not enough.

Do you want to recruit from those foreign mages?

It’s not impossible, but the risk is too great. If a mage who doesn’t know the details makes trouble in the experiment, no one knows what the consequences will be. Low-level is fine, and the harm that middle-level and high-level can cause is unbearable. And not all mages are willing to bind themselves to Alan with an oath.

The upgrade of the mage tower is also very important, not only the material is important, the new stable magic accuracy range, more powerful mana aggregation, are all effective ways to improve, if you can get enough materials for Jin Oga, the fixed mage tower It can evolve into a floating tower, but if you can't beat it, no one can do anything about it.

Because of this, recruiting new recruits is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. One needs to know everything from the origin of magic to the ins and outs of anti-playing. If this matter is taken care of, Alan's experiment will inevitably be affected.

"Then let's postpone the upgrade for now." Alan thought for a while, but couldn't think of the reason why he would run away with his family recently. We have a lot of opinions, just keep the current product chain, the pharmacy team will continue to study my latest new formula, and reduce the cost a bit, the pharmacy market is so big, we must not allow the Holy Light organization to squeeze our market with the Holy Light. Enchanting scrolls is too time-consuming, if you do less, the price will increase, we will maintain a monopoly on this, and we will not worry about it for the time being."

"Okay. Do you want to hear the latest urban construction report?" the skeleton asked.

"No, just tell Percy, I'm short on time." Percy buried his head in the book again.

"If you waste less time on the bed, you don't have to be so nervous." The skeleton said a little dissatisfied, don't you feel that playing magic can give you more lasting and intense pleasure than playing with men?

"Why do you talk about me with a hand-made skeleton?" Alan looked at him contemptuously, "Don't think I don't know, you recently found a skeleton that is said to be a beauty from somewhere, and you are going to use potions to kill her. restored to its original state.”

"There is always something to comfort our empty hearts on the long and endless road of magic..." The voice of the skeleton paused unnaturally, as if he had a little guilty conscience, "I'm doing it for your own good. There's no way. I..."

When he said this, he stopped talking suddenly.

Because the communication orb next to it suddenly flickered with light.

Due to the importance of the experiment, Alan had ordered that he should not be disturbed by things that were not extremely important.

Amidst the light, a high-ranking black-robed mage saluted respectfully: "Report Your Excellency, Your Excellency Bei led the entire Holy Light North to the crack just now."

"..." Alan remained expressionless and did not speak.

The skeleton asked on the side: "Where are they now?"

The Wasteland of Despair is a dead magic area without any elements at the end. It is impossible for the North of the Holy Light to reach there through the portal, and it can only be reached by marching.

"Their speed is very fast. They have already reached the mountain of ashes, and they are only three days away from the crack." The mage used his peeping eyes to show the place they passed by before - he dare not look at the place he is passing by now. No matter what method you use to peep, you will end up miserable.

"Before he killed Alinda, he knew his choice, but he didn't expect it to be so soon." Skeleton nodded, seeing that Alan hadn't spoken, waved the mage back, "It's none of your business, pay attention to report any news at any time."

"Yes." The mage bowed and left, and disappeared into the orb.

Alan then slowly lowered his head and continued to search for books.

After a while, the skeleton couldn't read it anymore: "I just read the book in your hand."

Alan stopped flipping the book.

"Although I don't know how Bei can seal the crack, if you really don't care, you may be in trouble." The skeleton said slowly.

After all, Alan still has another identity, that is, a follower of the Lord of Purgatory Tashina. After Alinda's death, Alan's identity has become the leader of the demons outside the crack. How will he be punished? After all, when he became a follower of Tasina, he had to give a trace of his soul to this demon among demons.

Besides, the entire mage tower is now supported by the resources of purgatory, and closing the crack will be a devastating blow to the entire city.

"What can I do?" Alan stared at the book and slid over the words with his fingertips, "Percy is his son, and there is no one in this world who is his opponent. Arguing with Percy about what was discussed?"

"No, you can do it, you know what I'm talking about?" the skeleton whispered.

Alan silently clenched his fists, his fingertips turning white with force.

The crack has not been sealed for so many years. Of course, there is a reason. For thousands of years, it has already been marked with the seal of Tasina. If there are followers of Tasina detonating it, not only the crack can spread even bigger, but also the entire sealed army can be destroyed. Involved in the void universe, it is difficult to survive.

Very few people know about this backhand, except for Alinda, only Alan knows.

Because they are all high-level believers of Tashina.The skeleton only knew that there was a backhand, but he didn't know exactly what it was, so he said that Alan knew what he was talking about.

No one will know that he did it, and he can no longer worry about Percy leaving, as long as he connects with Tashina's faith at a critical moment and tells her.

……

"Crack!" Alan was startled, only to realize that the force with his fingertips was too strong, and the pages of the parchment had already been pierced.

Looking up, he found that the skeleton had walked away.

Alan slowly withdrew his hand and closed the book.

It was almost affected again just now.

It's ridiculous, what is a city, what is a mage's tower, there are no eternal secrets in the world, compared with Percy, those are just clouds and meaningless.

Besides, he could feel that his father loved him.

Only when we are really with Bei can we understand what kind of warm soul that is.

"Do I know anything?" He smiled. "I don't know anything."
