Chapter 400 Radioactive toxins
Chapter 400 Radioactive Toxins
Mentor Guido’s laboratory was large, along with the number of apprentices under his name.
When Sol came in, he realized that the place was very lively. It seemed that all the apprentices who were somewhat powerful had been called over by Guido.
This was a scene that was hard to see in Mentor Katz’s laboratory.
Even if Mentor Kaz called all of Sol’s apprentices to the lab, everyone would just do their own thing, and it would be considered a good relationship if they could communicate with each other once or twice.
Unlike Mentor Guido here, it was like …… students who had just finished their exams coming together to match their answers.
Saul’s arrival didn’t cause much commotion.
He stood in the doorway and deliberately lowered his presence, then ran his spiritual power to eavesdrop on the apprentices’ conversation.
These people had followed Mentor Guido, and no matter what element they had originally majored in, they all seemed to have more or less toxins in their research projects now.
Just like Korie, for example, who had researched metallicity well, had to go into the toxicity of metals, and in the end, under Saul’s prompting, she really did come up with a radioactivity.
Kori is also in this group of people, in the innermost part of the room, excitedly mixing the potion.
“It’s really getting addictive the more you study it.” Saul silently spat in his mind.
During his observation, Saul also realized that Korrie was vaguely acting like a big sister.
Although she was only a level two apprentice and had not yet been promoted to level three, many people honestly listened to her command and dispatch.
Witches all valued strength, and knowledge was also a form of strength.
The person who had almost the same status as Cori was a third level apprentice that Saul was not too familiar with.
It was a bit odd, because Saul also saw Billy, who sat independently and somberly in the corner of the room.
There were also many powerful third level wizard apprentices in the Wizard Tower, and Billy wasn’t necessarily number one, but based on Saul’s observations, he was at least in the top three.
But why was he sitting alone in the dark corner of the room at this time as if he was banished?
At this time, the busy Kore looked up and finally discovered Saul at the door.
In fact, there were also other people who had discovered Saul’s figure long before her, but none of them dared to go forward and only silently paid attention to Saul.
“How long have you been here? Why are you just standing at the door and not coming in?”
“I saw that Lord Keri was busy, so naturally I didn’t dare to disturb at will.”
Keri rolled her eyes, knowing that Saul was joking, she did not inquire about the reason why he had been standing here for so long.
“Come in. It just so happens that we’re about to start formulating the adhesive to send to our mentor, so you can come over and gather around first.”
Korrie pulled Sol right in, completely ignoring the expressions of those who saw Sol. The two stood on a lab bench filled with materials.
“I’ve spoken to Mentor Guido, and he means you can tag along with me as long as you don’t waste potions on purpose. I told him he wouldn’t or I’d kick your ass.”
Korie’s mouth said, and her hands did not stop moving, skillfully taking one test tube, beaker, crucible, etc. and began to prepare the potion right in front of Saul.
“What I’m doing now is optimizing the adhesive …… Ugh, the mentor also doesn’t name it, just put it here, what if there’s a re-optimization solution in the future? Could it be called Optimizing Binder Again?”
Keri was obviously happy, she was talking a lot more at this point. So much so that several wizards around the lab cast surprised gazes – including Billy in the corner.
“It’s called Better Binder then.” Thor matched Korie’s.
“What about the third optimization?”
“Extremely superior adhesive.”
“Fourth time?”
“Optimal adhesive.”
The two joked around while they got the initial processing of the adhesive done.
Finally Korrie held up a cup of the gurgling, bubbling, and indeed gooey looking glue-like fluid and said, “Actually, the one I just took is a semi-finished product. It takes a long time to ferment from the initial raw material to the semi-finished product, so just read the notes for those steps. I’m sure you can understand them all.”
She carefully held up the beaker and led Sol towards the end of the room, carefully avoiding Korie on the left and right along the way. Or rather avoid the beaker in her hand.
“It seems to me that there’s a lot of toxic substances in the materials you process your semi-finished products as well?” Saul leisurely followed behind Korrie, just about pacing with his hands behind his back.
“Of course, it is said to be an adhesive, in fact …… you also know that it is something that forcibly allows the spirit and flesh to fuse, overbearing, naturally there are quite a few toxic things. If you haven’t seen these things before, there’s a booklet of lists hanging on the lab table just now, so you can take a look.”
Most of the materials that Keri experimented with, Saul had never seen before. Although he had read quite a few books on similar material science in addition to Basic Everything Awareness, a lot of the stuff here was reprocessed and half-finished. There were so many of them that even the apprentices here had to make a list of notes so that they wouldn’t accidentally confuse what was what.
At the end of the lab were two huge spherical glass enclosures. The two glass enclosures were suspended from a metal maneuvering disk as big as a table.
The manipulation disk had rather complex sorcery spell formations drawn on it. Saul briefly glanced at it, and in addition to the levitation, he deciphered runes that had effects other than sealing, opening, and even explosions.
“This is a sorcery-type safe.” He sighed in his heart.
The two spherical glass covers on top of the manipulation disk were one meter in diameter and one was no more than the size of a soccer ball. Both contained a thumb-sized piece of irregular copper-colored metal.
The spherical glass cover on the outside was also engraved with complex sorcery spell formations, and because they were inscribed on the sphere, the runes and formations of the spell formations had obvious distortions, so if someone who wasn’t good at sorcery spell formations came over to look at it, I’m afraid they wouldn’t have been able to recognize what was on it.
Saul was quite knowledgeable in this area, and he immediately recognized that this spell formation was an enlarged version of the Alpha Necklace that Kerri had given herself.
As expected, Korrie pointed to the smaller one first.
“Alpha.”
Then she moved her index finger to the larger glass cover.
“Diminished Alpha.” She shrugged, but her arm didn’t move with the beaker, “Well, I don’t know how to name it either, so why don’t you give it a name?”
“Actually, I don’t know how to name it either, and Diminished Alpha is pretty self-explanatory.”
Kori looked over.
“Well, if you want, then Beta it is.” Looking at Korrie’s eyes darting over there, Saul hastily held up his hands, “No more names, I can’t memorize the back, any more and it’ll just be Shulk, Tom, and Jerry.”
“Well-okay-” Korrie trailed off, giving up on the idea of letting Saul name all the toxin potions she made.
She then turned, still steady with the increasingly bubbling beaker in her hand, and with her back to the crowd shouted, “Open the lid!”
Saul immediately had the immediate feeling of a “tree falling”.
Immediately, he noticed that some of the apprentice wizards around him had taken two steps backward.
Those who were working on the fine processing work also stopped their movements.
Thor’s back instantly tingled, and he held back from stepping back – after all, Kori was right in front of him – and instead focused his mental energy on his Spirit Armor Technique, ready to activate it at any moment.
As Saul watched, Kori reached out with her pinky and drew a rather intricate pattern along the lines of the sorcery spell on the glass cover of the attenuated alpha.
The glass shield shuddered alarmingly for a moment, stopping and then rapidly turning red again, with gurgling water bubbling out of the top, as if it was cooling down again.
Kori quickly withdrew her fingers and clasped the beaker she held in her other hand to where her pinky had last rested.
The next second a small hole appeared there.
It took Saul a moment to notice that the beaker’s mouth wasn’t flat, and when it snapped onto the glass cover, it fit right into the curvature of the sphere.
The beaker was tilted, but the gelatinous liquid inside was only flowing downward at a very slow rate.
Meanwhile, Kori’s pinky moved to another spot and began to draw the lines again.
When she stopped her finger, the small hole exposed by the glass cover began to close quickly.
Kagome waited a few more seconds to make sure there were no more gaps in the glass cover before taking the beaker down.
She then held up the solution, which didn’t look like it had changed much, and shrugged at Saul, “Can’t help it, radioactive toxins are such a pain in the ass to use.”
Next chapter, uh, still at night
