Chapter 3139 Alchemy Forbidden Zone
As for whether Sterling would offer other conditions besides points, Angel didn't know at present.
However, if Portia really asked him to exchange the knowledge of life conversion magic pattern, he could only ask Sterling...
Yes, he planned to ask in his own name.
As for the price to be paid, he must pay it.
After all, when Mr. Kant was in the Sea of Mist, he responded to his "calling people", and Angel must repay this friendship.
"If I need to find Sterling later, I wonder if Antonio can help me contact him." Angel looked at Antonio.
Antonio nodded: "Of course, I believe Mr. Sterling will agree to meet."
This is not Antonio's deliberate boasting. In the past few hundred years, as long as the members of the Research and Development Institute came to Sterling, he never refused.
How can it be as refreshing to fleece other wizards as to fleece the Research and Development Institute?
So, if Sterling knew that Angel was looking for him, he would definitely agree to meet.
Angel: "Then I'll trouble you."
Antonio touched his chest and bowed: "You're welcome. It's my duty to serve the members of the R&D Institute."
Angel thanked Medora again. His proposal seems to be the most feasible at present. Sure enough, it's right to ask Medora for the R&D Institute.
Medorah smiled and said: "Then when you meet Portia next time, do you need my help?"
It's called help, but it's actually a raid.
Moreover, with Medora present, Portia will probably not mention the life alchemy.
This sounds like a good thing, but Medora's presence may also make Portia alert. ——People who do bad things secretly are often more sensitive than others.
Although what Portia did was not completely banned, it was still a taboo in the eyes of the general public.
Otherwise, Portia would not do it secretly.
So, Angel thought about it and rejected Medora's raid.
He planned to talk to Portia face to face.
If Portia really can't reach an agreement at all, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he has received news from Sterling and can take other paths.
Seeing that Angel insisted on meeting Portia alone, Medora did not dissuade him. As long as he was sure that Angel did not support Portia's involvement in the alchemical forbidden area, it would be no big deal for him to meet Portia alone.
Medora even felt a pity. If Angel was not too young, he would have wanted to try to match him with Portia. Under the nourishment of love, Portia might gradually relax her desire for life alchemy?
However, on the other hand, although it is not easy to match Angel and Portia, other methods can be tried to stop Portia silently.
Although he is not as good as Dean Muse in playing tricks, he can also try.
While thinking about tricks to deal with Portia, Medora said goodbye to Angel and temporarily walked out of the signal tower.
He did not leave immediately, but stayed in a nearby alchemy shop he often visited. He planned to contact Angel after Portia left to see how far Portia had walked on this road in the alchemy restricted area.
After Midora left, Antonio also left. However, before leaving, Antonio also helped to contact Portia.
It happened that Portia was in the Fantasy Mechanical City, and it would not take much time to come to the signal tower.
Angel looked at the empty light screen opposite and waited silently for Portia to arrive.
…
While waiting, Orao looked at Angel with the eyes of a curious baby: "Can I ask a question?"
In their previous conversation, Orao heard a lot of questions that puzzled him, but he was embarrassed to interrupt, and he had been holding it in until now, and only found an opportunity to ask.
Angel glanced at Orao, and did not answer immediately, but turned off the "call" function of the light screen first to prevent the conversation here from being transmitted to the other side.
After doing all this, Angel nodded: "Okay."
Olao immediately came to Angel, bent down, and asked: "Just now I heard you say that life alchemy is an alchemy forbidden area?"
"I guess so." Angel said, while taking a step back, looking up at Orao: "You'd better stay away from me, I'm not used to people looking at my head and talking..."
The three-meter-tall Orao, even if he bent down, was looking down at him.
Before, they were a little distance apart, and there was no awkward feeling. Now that they were in the same room, this awkward feeling came immediately.
Olao pressed his hat and took a few steps back obediently.
Orao: "Why is life alchemy a forbidden area for alchemy?"
Angel looked at Orao in confusion: "Are you very interested in this question?"
Orao scratched his hair under the brim of his hat: "Not interested... I just remember that Miss Margaret has been looking for a way to alchemy life for a while, and everyone in Naraku City knows about it."
Just because Orao knew about this, he was very confused: Ten thousand years ago, Margaret could openly look for a way to alchemy life, but how come it has become a forbidden area for alchemy now?
Angel was also stunned when he heard Orao's words: "Margaret is looking for a way to alchemy life? Did you remember it wrong? It's not life alchemy, it's biological alchemy, right?"
Biological alchemy is different from life alchemy.
Although biological alchemy sounds a bit scary, it is actually a discipline with an extremely rigorous academic closed loop. But life alchemy is different. It involves the forbidden domain law in the lowest logic of the world.
Biological alchemy focuses on transformation, while life alchemy focuses on... creation.
In the words of some religious fanatics - the creation of life belongs to the realm of "God", and humans are treasonous if they touch it.
Of course, wizards do not believe in God, but based on the experience summarized by countless predecessors, it can be basically determined that the creation of intelligent life will definitely touch the deep law, and everything related to the deep law is an absolute forbidden zone.
It is precisely because it is in the absolute forbidden zone that Toby's birth has been a miracle that cannot be replicated until now.
However -
The absolute forbidden zone does not mean that wizards dare not touch it.
Wizards are a group of people who pursue the truth. For the truth, they can turn into moths to fly into the fire one after another.
However, if you want to touch the absolute forbidden zone, there must be two conditions, that is, the "entry threshold".
Either you are strong enough to face the dangers of the Law of Depth; or your knowledge is broad enough to analyze the secrets of the Law of Depth.
If you do not meet one of these two conditions, touching the Absolute Forbidden Zone will basically lead to no good end.
Death, madness, mutation, or even disappearance without a sound... These are the consequences of touching the Forbidden Zone.
Ivo disappeared without a sound. Although he was found by Angel by accident later and confirmed that he had lost all his memories and turned into a "plot NPC" in a disordered object, it must be said that this end was not very good.
It is precisely because the Research and Development Institute knows the horror of the Absolute Forbidden Zone that it reminds members again and again not to get involved.
However, it is okay without prohibition.
Some genius wizards often go astray when they find it difficult to see the way forward.
Whether it is Ivo Spreit in the past or Portia today, it is the same.
While Angell was thinking, Orao pondered for a moment and replied: "I am sure that it is not biological alchemy, but life alchemy."
Angel was surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down.
This answer was a bit unexpected... but reasonable.
Orao: "Could it be that the alchemy circle has also deviated in the past ten thousand years?"
Angel thought about it and replied: "There is no deviation in the research and development trajectory between the alchemy circle ten thousand years ago and the alchemy circle now. However, from the overall background, it is still a bit different."
"Ten thousand years ago, the South Region did not cut off the passage from the other three wizard worlds, and there was a way to directly reach the source world. At the same time, legendary wizards emerged." Angell paused: "Even miracle wizards occasionally appear in the South Region."
"In this context, life alchemy is a challenge, but it is not an absolute forbidden zone."
There are two completely different situations with legendary wizards and without legendary wizards. Legendary wizards represent powerful strength and extremely deep knowledge.
The entry threshold for exploring life alchemy is exactly: strength as the sail, knowledge as the guide.
With such conditions, exploring life alchemy will naturally not become an absolute forbidden zone. At most, it is considered... an ordinary forbidden zone, and people are advised not to enter, but no one cares if you really enter.
After listening to Angel's explanation, Orao seemed to understand something: "So that's it, so the current alchemy circle seems to be not as good as before?"
Angel: "The environment is different, and the development will naturally be different."
Angel's words sound very official, but in fact, the key point he wants to express has been said: "environment" and "development".
Environment, naturally refers to the big background. And development... since it is development, it means a big step forward, whether this step is wrong or right, at least it is moving forward.
Angel does not worship the past and despise 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 development of civilization.
He had talked with Frost and learned a lot of secrets. For example, even if the other three wizard circles did not cut off their ties with the source world, they did not have a decent way to develop alchemy.
Therefore, the existence of life alchemy is not a criterion for judging the quality of the alchemy circle.
Even in the source world, life alchemy is something that very few people will explore. It is a real field of genius.
"Compared to these, I am actually more curious about how far Margaret has gone on the road of life alchemy?" Angel looked at Orao.
Orao: "I don't know about this. However, as far as I know, Miss Margaret did not find the method of life alchemy before the incident in Naraku City."
Angel frowned: "Didn't find it? Didn't she find the magic energy array that converts matter into life?"
Margaret was an enchanted alchemist ten thousand years ago, which Angel could confirm. The various alchemy books he found in Margaret's boudoir in Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm all proved this conclusion.
Because he knew that Margaret was an enchanted alchemist, Angell also understood that the life alchemy she was looking for must be the magic array that transforms matter into life.
——This is also what Portia hoped Angell would help her find. However, Portia did not know the existence of this magic array. She asked Angell to help find the relevant magic pattern, not the magic array.
"I am very sure that Miss Margaret has not been found." Orao confirmed again.
His words made Angel fall into a long contemplation.
Because the alchemy book that Angel found in the Nightmare Realm Naraku City recorded the relevant magic array...even more than one.
Angel knew that after the Nightmare Realm reflected reality, many things would undergo amazing changes.
For example, the wise master of the Nightmare Realm Naraku City was just a greedy three-eyed blue demon without any wisdom.
For example, the Clear Sky Poetry Room in reality was the place where Augustine and Margaret had a tryst; but the Clear Sky Poetry Room in the Nightmare Realm had a terrifying mutation! According to Augustine's own account, he had been to the Nightmare Realm Naraku City, but he did not dare to enter the Clear Sky Poetry Room inside, and he could not even get close to it, which was 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 distorted in the nightmare world, but he didn't expect that even knowledge... could mutate.
Margaret didn't find a way to alchemize life, but in the "Basics of Alchemy" that Angel found in the nightmare world, there was already a magic array for converting matter into life.
And this is just the "basics" of alchemy.
You know, the knowledge that Angel remembered is more than just "Basics of Alchemy"!
The more he learned about the nightmare world, the more unfamiliar Angel felt to the nightmare world... Where did this great power that reflects and distorts reality come from?
Angel even thought that the nightmare world could not be "mystery" itself?
After all, Angel had only seen this completely illogical power on mysterious things.
But it was obviously unlikely that the entire nightmare world was mysterious...
Angel thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with any reasonable explanation, so he simply shook his head and threw away all these redundant thoughts.
He is just a small wizard now, and he is thinking about the world far beyond his status. If others know about it, they will only laugh.
Moreover, knowledge of a higher status will have higher traps.
Therefore, the best way is not to think about it, so as not to fall into the trap.
After Angel gave up thinking about the problem of the nightmare world, a few minutes later, the picture on the light screen suddenly shook.
A witch wearing a witch flower veil appeared in the picture.
The veil was very thin, and the witch's smile could be clearly seen under the veil.
"Little brother Angel, we meet again."
Familiar smell, familiar name.
There is no doubt that the person who came is Portia.
