Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixteenth <The Stone of Life>

At this time, the red gemstone inlaid on Astarotti's chest shone slightly, and it seemed to have a fascinating charm.

In fact, once this gem appears in the world, it will indeed cause many people to go crazy.

Luo Zhen observed it with the , then nodded.

"It seems that is working well."

——— "The Philosopher's Stone".

It is a substance that only exists in mythology, something like the that Western alchemists have been pursuing for a long time.

Because it can be used to replace any substance in this world, and if it is used by a skilled alchemist, it will become an artifact capable of creating everything.

Someone can use it to change ordinary base metals into precious metals, such as gold.

Someone could use it to create an elixir of immortality, giving people eternal life.

It has many titles, such as "philosopher's stone", "stone from heaven", "philosopher's stone", "raw material of gold and silver", "red potion", "great miracle", "great creation" and The "fifth element" and so on are what others call it.

Alchemists have been pursuing this substance, thinking that it is the result of reaching the pinnacle of "alchemy". In various legends and myths, this stone often appears in different forms, sometimes It is solid, sometimes liquid, sometimes powder, but without exception, they all have the luster of blood.

And in the Atlas Academy, there is a technique called the Mystery.

That is the technology to create the ultimate memory medium called the "Philosopher's Stone" that can record almost unlimited information.

The "Philosopher's Stone" produced by this technique is also called "Water of Life". Magicians develop various techniques and precious materials for magic dresses.

For example, "Three-pointed Hermes" used the "Sage's Stone" to have the property of recording information, and most of the seven weapons in the Atlas Academy that were rumored to be enough to destroy the world seven times also used the "Sage's Stone" Stone of the Founder> as a material, it can be seen how versatile and precious this alchemy material is.

Coincidentally, in the last world, Luo Zhen acquired the sacred relic that can give life and will --- .

then,

According to the "Alchemy" inheritance of the Atlas Institute and the research on the "Key Stone", Luo Zhen made a "Sage Stone" that can provide a huge vitality.

No, to be more precise, it should be said to be the made from the as a material.

This was inlaid on Astaruti's body by Luo Zhen, allowing her to obtain life force that can be used almost unlimitedly. When she summons the beast, this gem will pay the price on her behalf. Let Astaruti use the power of the beast as she likes.

As for how to set it on Astarotti's body, that's not a problem for Rozen at all.

With his current level of , it is not difficult to recreate an artificial life body that is better than Staruti, let alone make such small changes to the artificial life body.

"I'll call it the ."

Luo Zhen observed the operation status of the , and then said so.

"After a while, this gem should be completely integrated into your body, and no one can take it away, but I have set up a protective spell for it. Once it leaves your body, this It will immediately shatter itself, turn into powder and disappear, remember to be careful, Astarotti."

This is also to prevent the from being abused.

After all, once the falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, it should not be easy to copy, because Luo Zhen does not use the technology of this world, without the assistance of and It will take hundreds of years to analyze its composition and manufacturing method, and there is even a high probability of failure, so Luo Zhen is not worried about this, but it is very simple to use the vitality in it.

For example, if humans or demons get the "Stone of Life", they don't need to worry about the life-span being swallowed up by beasts. They can gain great power like vampires, summon beasts from other worlds, and use them wantonly , which is very attractive to many people.

For another example, there are also some taboo rituals that are too powerful or even foul that require living sacrifices, and the can be used as a substitute, replacing human life with huge vitality, so that taboo rituals can be performed without much effort. Completed, needless to say the consequences at that time, it must be life and death.

For this reason, out of caution, Luo Zhen set up a protective spell for the , once it leaves Astaruti's body, it will immediately self-destruct and shatter.

In this way, it can be regarded as foolproof.

"Command accepted ()."

I don't know if Astarotti understood Luo Zhen's meaning, but after hearing Luo Zhen's words, she still nodded expressionlessly.

"Then I'll go out, please take care of the house."

Luo Zhen just stood up.

"Bon voyage, senior."

Xia Yin bowed his head in a respectful salute.

"good."

Luo Zhen smiled slightly, and with Xia Yin's rather shy but unresisting expression, touched her head, and then left Nangong's house.

"Happy New Year, Senior."

Xuecai had already been waiting in the elevator, and when she saw Luo Zhen coming out of Nangong's house, she immediately saluted like Xia Yin.

"Happy New Year, sorry to keep you waiting."

Luo Zhen was also used to Xuecai's overly serious or old-fashioned side, so he didn't care too much, and directly got into the elevator.

The two chatted for a few words, and then got to the point while the elevator was descending.

"So, where do we start our investigation?"

Yukina asked.

"Do you have any idea?"

Luo Zhen didn't answer, but asked this question instead.

"Me?" Yukina said cautiously: "I have thought about getting information from the Lion King Agency, so, should I go to the office of the Lion King Agency in Xiangami Island?"

"Then have you contacted there yet?"

Luo Zhen continued to ask.

"I have contacted, but I didn't answer, it should be because of the New Year's relationship?"

Xuecai looked a little uncertain.

Seeing this, Luo Zhen curled his lips and smiled.

"That's a bit hard to say."

At least, Luo Zhen doesn't think that the Lion King office stationed in Xiangami Island will be on holiday now that he returns.

They can only try their best to monitor Luo Zhen when Luo Zhen returns, and find out where Luo Zhen was going in the past two months.

Therefore, the reason why the Lion King agency did not reply to Xuecai's contact was probably the same as that of that month, because they didn't want Luo Zhen and Xuecai to get involved too much, right?

It's a pity that they escaped the monk, but not the temple.

"Instead of going to the person in charge of the office, it's better to go directly to your immediate boss."

Luo Zhen said so.

"well?"

Xuecai was stunned.

Luo Zhen's expression suddenly became intriguing.
