Chapter 66

Adam did not have any doubts about the price. Instead, he asked, "I completely agree, Master Kino. It's just that I don't have any Ether crystals at the moment. "

"According to the exchange rules set by the Holy Tower of the Third Element, ten thousand units of energy stones are equivalent to one complete set of Ether crystals. With the income of your laboratory, it will take fifteen months to pay in full."

After Adam improved his meditation technique, the Tower increased his research fee from five thousand to seven thousand a month.

Adam directly took out his identity card and placed it on the alchemy puppet. During the year he was in a coma, the wealth accumulated in the laboratory was enough to pay this price. However, he would have to be poor for a period of time because he still had to pay Victor The Mage's fees in installments.

As for why the reward for saving his life was not comparable to the cost of using Victor The Mage once, this point had to be taken into consideration due to the difference in value between the two mages.

After the fee was paid, Master Kino brought Adam into his laboratory.

Adam found that Master Kino's laboratory did not have any apprentices or assistants. The ones controlling the instruments were all alchemy puppets. Moreover, there were many types of instruments, many of which were large and advanced. Adam had seen a few of them on the list before, and they were very valuable.

"I am the only official alchemist in the Moldo Tower of Elements." Master Kino introduced, "The Moldova Tower's research in this area is lagging behind. I'm not considered strong among the alchemists, but I think it's enough to solve your problem."

Along the way, Wizard Kino continued to operate various devices that Adam could not understand. Finally, he led Adam to a device that looked like a virtual helmet and stopped in front of it. He said to him, "Sit in it and open your soul."

Adam sat down as he was told. He felt that after the two cold tentacles touched his brain, he had arrived in a space similar to the Soul Sea. There were unknown energy waves constantly trying to probe his soul, but they were blocked by the Mage Armor.

"Don't resist. The waves won't pry into your memories. This is a necessary test."

Hearing Master Kino's words, Adam removed the Psychokinetic Armor and allowed the energy waves to sweep through his soul.

Adam felt his soul tremble unnaturally for a moment. Then, a lightning-like energy intermittently filled the entire space.

"There's a huge problem with your soul. The concretization of your soul is not coherent, which means that your soul is full of hidden injuries. If you can't solve this problem, you won't be able to become an official Magician."

Adam tried to speak, and then his voice sounded in this virtual space. "Thank you for your reminder. I know my own problem."

Master Kino continued, "According to the information obtained from the phenomenon, your soul inclination should be related to the electric element."

Adam knew that this was the highlight of the show. This was also what he was confused about.

"Apprentices who have an affinity with the electric element are in an awkward position. The study of the electric element in the Magician's world is seriously behind other elements. The reason is that electricity is a more violent energy compared to other elements. Apprentices lack the ability to study and control it. Most official Magicians have their own path and research direction. Very few people will study the electric element from scratch."

"Almost all the electric magic in the Magician's Plane is inherited from the ancient magic system. However, modern Magicians have discovered certain characteristics of electricity through difficult research. Then, they used runes to standardize the operation of electric magic."

Adam said, "Is it the discovery of positive and negative charges?"

Master Kino said in surprise, "That's right. I didn't expect you to know about this. There shouldn't be any information about this in the Moldova Tower's library, right?"

However, he didn't dwell on this issue because it wasn't a secret. Instead, he continued, "Electricity magic is produced in the process of discharging electricity, and discharging electricity is the process of flowing negative charges to positive charges." (Everyone, just treat this as nonsense. I only found it here after searching on Baidu)

"So," Master Kino paused, and suddenly asked, "Have you signed a contract with the Tower?"

"No, not yet."

"If you sign a contract with the Tower, the following information will be free. If not, you will have to pay an Ether crystal to obtain it. If you have the intention to sign a contract, you can directly submit the application through me. "

Adam thought for a moment and agreed.

Signing a contract with the Moldova Tower was a good choice. Starting from the dean, every Magician strictly followed the spirit of the contract. Adam was not against it, and signing a contract was also beneficial to him because he could roughly guess what Master Kino was going to say next.

"Every promotion of a Magician is a leap in their understanding of knowledge. First, they establish a theory, then integrate the abstract theory into their soul through continuous evidence. The soul will receive a gift from Ether. Through this method, the soul will transform and master the corresponding power."

Master Kino spoke of the secret of promotion in a very calm tone. Adam finally understood why Magicians studied knowledge. It turned out that the study of knowledge obtained feedback from the most fundamental power that formed the world.

"Since the development of the World of Magicians, almost all paths below level four have formed knowledge for research. This allows Magicians to save time on exploration. As long as they understand it, they will be able to reach level four step by step. It can be said that there are only two bottlenecks for low-level Magicians. The first is to become a level one Magician from an Apprentice, and the second is to become a Hyperdimensional Magician from level four."

Adam understood what Master Kino meant. This was the benefit of standing on the shoulders of giants. Just like on Earth, low-level Magicians could reach the level of their predecessors as long as they kept learning. However, if they wanted to go further and achieve a higher academic status, they would need new theories and evidence.

"However, there is no established system for Lightning Magic. In my impression, the path of Lightning Magic stops at level one. In other words, if you want to follow the inclination of your soul to determine the direction of your research, you have to create the path ahead yourself."

Master Kino gestured for Adam to leave the virtual space, and then said to him, "I'll give you a free suggestion. With your talent, you don't have to deliberately pursue the inclination of your soul. Although it's easier to communicate with Ether that way, it will be very difficult for you to advance without a established theory to support your advancement."

"I'll consider it seriously. Thank you very much for your help, Master Kino."

Adam handed over the reward for the task, and then expressed his gratitude to Master Kino before walking out of the Element Experiment Building.

Master Kino's words did not make Adam feel afraid. Instead, it made Adam even more determined.

Since he had come to this world, it was more interesting to walk a different path. Although it was easy to follow the direction of his predecessor, he would definitely lose a lot of the scenery along the way. Moreover, Adam was still very young. Unlike James and Frank who were in a hurry to advance and gain more lifespan, Adam had a lot of time to explore a new path.

Most importantly, the knowledge of the sorcerers in this world was still very shallow. However, it was different on Earth. The research of the scientists on Earth far exceeded that of this world. Although the existence of Ether would cause the nature of electricity between the two worlds to be different, at least there was a direction.

Adam had already taken the step from zero to one.
