Chapter 762
…
Professor Kazel motioned for Tom Nixon to sit down as well, then waved his wand and said: "Where did alchemy come from and why did it come about? This is a question that lacks conclusive answers. Some people say that alchemy is ancient. The technology developed by alchemists in order to create gold, some people use alchemists as a tool to explore the "door of truth", and some people even study alchemy for the purpose of immortality..."
"The river of history is too long, and we have long been unable to explore it, but we can know where alchemy is going and grasp it with our own hands."
"Now turn to the first page of "The Secret of Alchemy."
Just when the students were wondering where the "Secret of Alchemy" was, a golden light lit up in front of everyone without warning.
Professor Kazel stretched out his wand and tapped it, and a thick volume of "The Secret of Alchemy" appeared in the golden light.
Duck lowered his head for a moment and saw this textbook.
"The Mystery of Alchemy" can be called a "golden book".
Before it is opened, it is like a gold brick, and the gold on the cover seems to flow at any time.
Open to the first page according to Professor Kazel's instructions.
There is a small scale drawn in the middle of the page, and the four words - "Equivalent Exchange" are still written below the scale.
No matter how the value of a thing is measured.
But "equivalent exchange" is still the basic principle of alchemy.
In other words, it is the duty of the Gate of Truth to measure value, and it is the duty of the alchemist to pay the price.
The fairness and justice of alchemy is based on the fairness and justice of the "Gate of Truth".
Duck turned to the second page and saw the first chapter title above the table of contents - "Value"!
"Before an alchemist masters alchemy, his first task is to understand the value of anything."
"Standing on the perspective of the "Gate of Truth", we evaluate the value of things. Only after confirming the value can we put it on the same scale as our wishes."
"The original alchemists didn't know the key. They evaluated the value of things from their own perspective. They thought weeds must be worthless, and diamonds must be priceless."
"But from the perspective of the Door of Truth, diamonds are mostly weeds."
"As for alchemists who are unable to provide anything of sufficient value, they will at least suffer refining failure, and at worst, they will be devoured by the "Gate of Truth" as greedy people."
"Of course, as Elsie Kevin said, even if it is the "Gate of Truth", the value of things in its eyes is always changing. Therefore, a secret technique - the "Eye of Truth" is needed!"
"The "Eye of Truth" is a secret technique that was successfully developed after alchemy developed to a later stage and a powerful alchemist established a connection with the "Gate of Truth."
"It allows us to measure the value of things from the perspective of the "gate of truth."
“The closer the connection to the Door of Truth, the higher the accuracy of the Eye of Truth’s measurement.”
"Our next most important topic is to master the "Eye of Truth."
…
Professor Kazel’s teaching style has always been very down-to-earth.
Except for occasionally interspersing a few cold jokes in the classroom that people can't react to, he has an excellent grasp of the key points of his lectures.
Whether it is to alert students through examples or to build up a sense of expectation through elaborations on the future, it is all at your fingertips.
For example, in this class, seeing the students' lack of interest in the "Eye of Truth", he directly gave several examples and vividly described several very serious alchemical accidents in history.
It can be as small as the death of an alchemist, or as big as the destruction of a glorious country.
Most of the alchemical accidents caused by alchemists' failure in alchemy are due to inaccurate measurement of value.
Forcibly opening the "door of truth" without paying a sufficient price is an act of self-destruction.
These serious accidents in history finally made students wake up.
…
Thirty minutes before the end of the first "Alchemy Class", Professor Kazel stopped the lecture, put down the textbook and said: "Today's theoretical lectures are over for the time being. Next, I will lead Everyone enters the "door of truth" and feels the "truth".
The affix he said in an understatement caused a storm in the audience.
The second and third graders didn't react for a while, but the fourth and fifth graders immediately started making noises.
Even if you don’t have much exposure to “alchemy”, the accumulation of knowledge is not a straight line.
Among the noisy crowd, Winnie Scarty suddenly raised her hands in the air.
When Professor Kazel called her up to ask questions, her tone was even more excited than on the duel stage.
"Professor Kazel, can we really enter the "Gate of Truth"?"
Professor Kazel smiled slightly: "It's not difficult."
…
It's not difficult?
The classroom suddenly felt like it was exploding, and the students' exclamations and discussions became louder and louder.
Duck pressed his hand on the textbook, trying his best to show the shock in his heart.
He had always placed Professor Kazel in a very high position, but unexpectedly he underestimated him.
How many alchemists have spent their entire lives trying to reach the "door of truth".
He even paid the price of his life for it.
But Professor Kazel has not only reached the "door of truth", he can even lead people in!
Anyone who knows a little bit about this can understand the horror involved.
This is equivalent to letting someone directly contact and understand the mysteries of calculus without even being able to recite the multiplication table - the key is that he can really do it!
[Greed +1]
Ignoring the indicators sliding past his eyes, Dark raised his hand.
Professor Kazel found him among the crowd, raised his wand and tapped it.
After understanding this, Dak stood up and asked: "Professor, what can we get when we enter the "Gate of Truth"?"
Professor Kaser said kindly: "Only by touching the "truth" can you feel the "truth". After leaving traces in the "Gate of Truth", it will be easier to build a connection with it and get a response from the "Gate of Truth".
Only after establishing a connection with the "Gate of Truth" can the "Eye of Truth" be opened.
Of course, this is just one of the more tangible effects. Everyone's gains after entering the "Gate of Truth" are different, and you can only gradually know it after you have entered. "
After Dak got a satisfactory answer, he sat down, but then someone raised his hand and said, "Professor, is it not safe inside the Gate of Truth?"
Professor Kazel smiled and said, "Follow me and you will be safe."
…
The students suppressed their excitement and fear and raised their hands to ask questions one after another.
Professor Kazel also answered their questions patiently. It was not until ten minutes before the end of get out of class that he suppressed the noise in the classroom and said with a smile: "After entering the "Gate of Truth", you You have five minutes to feel it. If you are lucky enough to be favored by the "Gate of Truth", you may be able to get answers from the "Truth". Students who are ready will now lay their heads down, yes, on the table. "
The students responded one after another, put their hands on the table, rested their heads on their arms, and lay down.
After Dark lay down, he noticed Eudora secretly looking at him out of the corner of his eye, and winked at her.
Eudora suddenly blushed and buried her head in her arms.
And Professor Kazel's voice reached everyone's ears: "Close your eyes and listen to my voice. Even if the surrounding environment does not change, don't be surprised. The truth exists in the heart, and the door to truth will be there. Open your heart.”
The classroom gradually became quiet, and the hearts of the little magisters gradually became peaceful.
Under the guidance of Professor Kazel, the complicated thoughts were gradually smoothed out, and the mind settled in the center.
Professor Kazel has a magic card in his hand.
The edge of the magic card shone with the light of colorful glass, and the card surface was engraved with a twisted door like a whirlpool.
This is the "door of truth"!
A masterpiece that combines alchemy and magic technology.
There is no second magic card in this world.
Professor Kazel poured magic power into the "Gate of Truth" magic card, and the door on the card rotated accordingly. The entire picture gradually turned into chaos, and finally only a very black dot remained.
Almost at the same time, the same black spot appeared on the ceiling.
The black spot rotated in the opposite direction and re-opened into a golden door containing chaos.
The entire classroom was dyed golden and sparkling.
Professor Kazel slowly closed his eyes, while the students' eyes opened in their hearts.
…
A drop of water fell rapidly from a very high place.
Dark Dimon opened his eyes suddenly.
"There was no sound around."
“There’s no color around.”
People's most intuitive feelings are sound and light, followed by other elements such as smell.
Duck was sure that he was no longer in the classroom, but he was in the classroom again.
The entire classroom lost its color and became pale.
The students lying on the table, the professor standing on the podium, the birds flying outside the window and the blooming flowers all disappeared without a trace.
Although this was different from the "door of truth" he imagined, he did not panic.
"Don't be surprised if the surrounding environment doesn't change."
“It’s true that it hasn’t changed, but it’s not that it hasn’t changed at all.”
Duck stood up from his seat.
The whole world is white, even he himself is pale.
There is no moving object except him, giving people the feeling that time has stood still.
He walked out of his seat and subconsciously walked to the podium, but nothing changed.
"So where is the "Gate of Truth"?"
Duck stood on the podium, facing the audience and lost in thought.
He wasn't sure if he was the only one experiencing this, or if it was the same for everyone.
He originally thought that his consciousness should appear in front of a huge door, and as long as he stepped through that door, he could touch the "truth".
Even if you cannot understand the mystery of "truth", it is enough as long as you can leave some traces to open the "eye of truth".
But "Gate of Truth" seems to have made a joke on him?
He turned around and walked to the door, trying to open it.
The door opened smoothly.
He hesitated for a moment and stretched his feet out a little.
When his toes touched the ground, he jumped out suddenly.
No obstacles at all.
So he started walking down the corridor.
Still no sound, no color, no smell, no moving life except him.
It was like entering a pale world where time stood still.
He even walked out of the castle, spending far more than five minutes, but still found nothing.
There is no "door of truth".
There is no "truth".
Nothing.
…
Unconsciously.
Dak has returned to the classroom, to the seat where he opened his eyes.
He sat down again, then lay on the table, keeping the same posture and closing his eyes, hoping that when he opened his eyes again, the world would regain its color.
