Chapter 35
Eliot chattered on. "You should know that each of my potions requires a large amount of precious materials. The potion just now used Magic Lotus, Death Nettle, Winter Thorn Grass …"
Adam was a polite person. He rarely interrupted others. When Eliot finished, he asked again, "Oh, so do you know where James is?"
Eliot was dissatisfied. "James? I don't know. He probably left already. But you, what are you doing? "Eliot looked at Adam carefully." You, huh? "
Eliot walked around Adam and said in surprise, "No elemental waves? What kind of magic is this? " Every apprentice had an instinctive interest in new magic. This interest made him forget about his potions.
Adam heard that he could not get any useful information from Eliot and replied perfunctorily, "Spirit Magic." He then flew in another direction. He had to find James. If James left like this, he would regret it.
"Spirit Magic? What is that? How come I've never heard of it? "Eliot followed Adam and asked.
.....
James had walked to the edge of the academy and was about to enter the range of the tower. He also heard the noise, but because it was too far away, he could not hear it clearly. However, the noise was getting louder and louder. James vaguely heard the name Adam. He could not help but stop.
"Adam? What's wrong? "
As soon as the thought appeared, it was replaced by a bitter smile. A genius of Adam's level would be noticed sooner or later. He was about to leave. No matter what happened in the academy, it had nothing to do with him. He shook his head and continued forward. He needed to go through the teleportation circle to reach the port city and then take a ship to leave the Sorcerer's Continent.
Standing at a high vantage point, Adam quickly located James' figure in the sky. He ignored Elliot's entanglement and dived down to the ground, hovering steadily beside James.
James smiled at him and then nodded to Eliot. He smiled and said, "Adam, I didn't expect you to send me off. This magic is not bad. Did you create it? "
Adam shook his head and outlined 64 runes outside his body. He then slowly combined them one by one in front of James.
James did not understand what Adam meant at first, but after a moment, his whole body trembled. His eyes became red, and then murky tears fell uncontrollably. "This, this is …"
Adam held the combined sphere in his hand and said to James, "The meditation technique is complete."
James stretched out his trembling hands, wanting to touch the sphere. Of course, it was impossible to succeed, but it was enough. James stood in place and cried, his mouth sobbing something unknown.
Adam could not accurately understand James's emotions at this time. He frowned and looked at him, not knowing what to do.
Eliot patted Adam's shoulder and said, "James needs to vent. He should be going to borrow the teleportation circle and leave. Just when he was at his most desperate, you brought him new hope. "
Eliot paused and looked at Adam with a complicated expression. "I didn't expect you to succeed. This has something to do with him … "
Eliot originally wanted to say that the success of this meditation technique should not have much to do with James, right? Adam understood what he meant, but he could not say that. Although the final construction of Psychokinetic Meditation was completed by him alone, the large amount of information provided by James in the early stages played a huge role. It eliminated a large number of wrong answers and saved Adam a lot of time.
Eliot took two steps back and left Adam with a look that said, "I'll look for you in the future." He knew it was not suitable for him to be present at this time.
After a long time, James finally calmed down. When he raised his head, he actually returned to the appearance of a middle-aged man. He walked in front of Adam and bowed deeply. He said seriously, "Thank you, Adam. You have saved my faith."
Adam did not think that this was a big deal. He said to James, "In this case, your laboratory does not need to be disbanded." Adam indeed felt that life in a laboratory was very suitable for him. At this stage of accumulating knowledge, a quiet laboratory that could bring him income was the best place for him. Information from the outside world did not give him a sense of novelty. The most comfortable thing was to be a nerd peacefully researching knowledge.
James laughed. "That's right, there's no need to disband. All of this is because of you. We now need to go to the Examination Department and the Academic Department to apply for a new laboratory and verify the value of the meditation technique. "
Adam did not understand. These things used to be done by James alone. Why did he have to be brought along now? "I have to go too?"
James nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, only you know the specific construction method of the new meditation technique. In the new laboratory, you will be in charge, and I will be your assistant."
James was very grateful that he could continue to stay in the Mage Academy. His intelligence was not enough to support a laboratory, but Adam was more than enough. Moreover, he wanted to use the last moments of his life to try his best on the path of a mage, even if he knew that the chances were very slim.
Adam was a little surprised. He did not expect James to say this. However, this was a good thing. Being able to independently control a laboratory was very tempting. This meant that at some point in the future, if he found a project that he was more interested in, he could lead the research himself.
The two of them once again walked into the Tower of Elements. This place was still dazzling. Here, being a genius or a senior apprentice was the same. Other than being a mage, other identities were useless. They had to tread carefully, for fear of angering an official mage.
The Examination Department and the Academic Department sounded very modern. They were all on the first floor of the Tower. This was also the only area that apprentices without a master could enter and move about.
Adam did not expect to see a familiar face in the Academic Department. It was one of the four guides, Mage Jerome.
James stepped forward and said respectfully, "Good day, respected Mage Jerome."
Three months had passed, and Mage Jerome had already forgotten about Adam. Even though Adam's performance at that time had surprised him, he only said to James, "You again? I hope that you won't waste my time this time. "
James was a little embarrassed and said, "No, the one who submitted the results was the apprentice Adam. He created a feasible meditation technique. This meditation technique …" James wanted to introduce it more, but he realized that he did not understand it at all.
Adam stepped forward and said, "Good day, Mage Jerome."
Jerome stared at Adam and found him familiar. After thinking for a while, he asked uncertainly, "You're that little guy on the ship?"
After Adam nodded his head in acknowledgement, Wizard Jerome became even more dissatisfied. He did not think that a rookie who had just become an apprentice for three months would be able to come up with any results. He said darkly, "Perhaps the environment of the academy has made you forget the consequences of angering a wizard. I hope that you are not making fun of me, or else you will pay the price for this. Let me think, Lockhart's Bloodline Laboratory is just lacking a few test subjects!"
The Bloodline Laboratory was a research area for body-refining mages. James clearly knew how terrifying that place was. He could not speak under the pressure of the mage. Adam also knew that there was no need for any nonsense at this time. Nonsense would only make the mage angrier, so he directly constructed the nineteen runes one by one in front of him, and then quickly combined them together.
This time, he did it very carefully, displaying all the characteristics of the meditation technique one by one.
First of all, the total amount of spiritual power trained by this meditation technique was much greater, far exceeding the unit one. Jerome's expression softened. Then there was its stability. When the rune group communicated with the aether, magic was formed and injected into the sphere at a fast and slow speed. It stayed in the sphere steadily. The stability was up to standard. Seeing this, Jerome was no longer furious. Finally, it was self-consistent. The meditation technique was a system, and the system could not collapse by itself. Adam did not hide his spiritual power, and constructed a few spheres in succession. Then, he put them into his spiritual power. The spherical 'scales' were perfectly connected, and the self-consistency was up to standard.
Jerome nodded and said, "Oh, not bad. You've avoided the fate of becoming a test subject. Organize it and hand it in. The tower will reward you. " He did not mention the value of the meditation technique itself, because he had seen too many of these 'wonderful ideas' in his long life. Occasionally, the apprentices would burst forth with the flames of wisdom, but most of them were not very popular. They were only suitable for the creator. For others, at most, they had some research value.
However, Adam did not stop there. He continued to demonstrate the core and most important characteristics of the meditation technique. His spiritual power stretched out like a hand. There was nothing in the academic department that could be used for experiments, so he used his spiritual power to wrap the air, squeezing it layer by layer. After a moment, a highly compressed wind bullet took shape in his hand. Judging by the power index, it was more than one.
The apprentices' eyes could not see what happened in the last second, but everything could not escape the eyes of the mages. Wizard Jerome witnessed this scene with his own eyes and finally became interested. "Is this the materialization of spiritual power?"
"Yes, respected Wizard Jerome. I call it Psychokinetic."
Wizard Jerome pointed at the wind bullet and said to Adam, "Come, hit me."
Adam did not hesitate. This level of attack was of course not enough to hurt a wizard. His spiritual power turned into a catapult mechanism, and the wind bullet was shot at Wizard Jerome.
Wizard Jerome stretched out a hand, and the wind bullet dissipated in his hand. He felt it carefully, and there was no magic or elemental fluctuation.
He clapped his hands and praised, "Adam? You're good, very good. I believe this is not its limit. Continue, I'm very interested. "
