Chapter 101

Adam thought for a moment, then asked, "Will there be apprentices who kill people?"

"That's for sure. Although the rules don't allow it, no one cares about the lives of a few people. As long as they don't go overboard, the official mages on both sides won't care."

"Then what do you mean?"

Victor The Mage laughed sinisterly, "We are the hosts, so it's not good for us to take the initiative to kill people. However, if the Monte Carlo apprentices are too arrogant, don't hesitate to kill them. The Moldo Hyperdimension will take care of any consequences."

Adam nodded to show that he understood. It seemed that although the War of the Spire had stopped due to the intervention of the Holy Tower, the scars and grievances left behind by the war would not be forgotten so easily by either side.

"There's also this." Victor The Mage took out a crystal and handed it to Adam.

After Adam took it, he realized that although the crystal looked like a substance, it had no mass when he held it in his hand. The reason why Adam could catch it was because of some kind of magic.

"What is this?"

Victor The Mage pouted in the direction of the Spire Tower, "A gift from the Tower Master, a living sealing crystal. Carry it with you and you can continue your research. You don't have to worry about being promoted uncontrollably. When the next Ether's Gift comes, it will inert your soul and make it stay in that state. When you want to be promoted in the future, you just have to remove the seal and the Ether's Gift will come immediately. "

"In ancient times, this was a very vicious spell. The Tower Master transformed it into what it is now, but it's not very useful. Very few people need this thing."

Adam understood what Victor The Mage meant. Other than him, probably no one would encounter a situation where they needed to suppress their promotion. He carefully put the crystal into his Dimensional Pocket. This thing was too useful. It could be used as a trump card to surprise the official Anti-Mage he might encounter in the upcoming trial.

Victor The Mage finally said, "Among the Monte Carlo apprentices who came this time, I heard that two of them have found the path to promotion. Don't underestimate them. If there's a chance …"

.....

Not long after Victor The Mage left, Frank woke up from his coma. Adam happened to use the advanced equipment he had just obtained to create a necklace for himself. He inlaid the active sealing crystal on it and wore it around his neck. After hearing Frank's ragged breathing, he raised his head and asked, "How do you feel?"

Frank was still in a daze. He tried to sit up from the life-support system with his arms, but the weakness in his body made the other half of his body go limp.

"I feel very tired, very hungry, and then," he tried to move his body, "I'm weaker than before, but the burden on my body is lower."

Adam tossed over a bottle of stamina replenishing potion and instructed, "You have two days to check on the new mechanical body. If you find any problems, report them to me. After two days, if everything goes well, you'll be debugging the advanced version with me."

So far, the work of modifying the energy source of the mechanical body could be said to be completed. The next step was to make it more suitable for Frank. This was Adam's promise at the beginning of the experiment. As for the reason why Frank felt weaker than before, it was because the energy level of electricity was lower than magic. This point could not be changed before Adam's theory had a breakthrough.

The next step was for Adam to verify the feasibility of the law of electromagnetic induction in the world of mages. This demonstration was crucial. It was the purpose of his previous series of preliminary experiments, and it would also be the foundation of the more advanced theory.

Adam had realized that the next demonstration would not be so smooth, but he was not worried that it would not succeed. Since the previous theory had been proven to be applicable, electromagnetic induction must be the same. At most, it was just a different form of existence.

After walking out of the alchemy laboratory, James, Kovar, and the other assistants all looked at Adam. James took the lead and asked, "Is Frank okay?"

Adam nodded and pointed behind him, motioning James to see for himself. Then he came to Kovar and ordered him and the other assistants to prepare the materials for the next step of the demonstration, while he himself returned to the office to organize all the previous results.

.....

Two days later, when Adam and Frank were about to start the transformation of the alchemy laboratory, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory. It was Master Kino.

"Master Master Kino? What are you doing here? "Adam looked curiously at Master Kino, whose face was glowing, and asked him for the purpose of his visit.

Master Kino seemed to be in a good mood. He patted Adam's shoulder affectionately and said, "Thanks to you, I see the hope of a breakthrough in my research. This time, Dean Victor asked me to help you complete the transformation of the high-level mechanical body."

Adam invited Master Kino in and said, "Thank you for your help, but …"

Master Kino said indifferently, "Don't worry about it. It's also good for me. After all, what I got was just a theory. If I can see things, it will be very helpful to understand the theory."

Over the past two days, Adam had also taken a look at Mage Maud's legacy. He was an alchemy mage who specialized in mechanical bodies, and the advancement knowledge he possessed was mostly about special alchemy arrays and rune groups that were similar to driver programs. These were of limited use to Adam, so he only gave it a cursory glance before putting it aside.

But for Master Kino, it should be very useful.

Frank saw that there was an official master present and also breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he did not trust Adam, but he felt that this was more secure. After all, the next transformation was related to his life.

After Master Kino entered Adam's alchemy laboratory, he looked at the series of equipment with great interest. Adam found it funny, so he said, "Master Kino, if you like, you can move it to your laboratory. Just open it to me when I need it."

The master waved his hand. "That's not necessary. The academy will prepare it for me. After all, you know …"

He could already talk to an official master as an equal? Frank looked at this scene and sighed in his heart. He was even more certain of his thoughts.

The following transformation was unusually smooth. Unlike Master Maud, who did not put in effort and had ulterior motives, Master Kino helped Adam wholeheartedly. The transformation took only three days to complete.

After waking up, Frank felt a comfortable body that he had not felt in years. Suddenly, he did something unexpected.

He knelt on one knee in front of Adam and held a contract with both hands. He said to Adam with the etiquette of a knight's oath of loyalty, "Adam, thank you for your help, but I think I have to leave your laboratory."

Adam was sorting out the experiment reports. Hearing this, he looked up and asked, "Hmm? Your reason? "
