The boy's voice wasn't soft, and it attracted the attention of the previous batch of apprentices. Some of them didn't even try to hide their sneers. "Kid, keep your arrogance. You don't have the qualifications to look down on Adam. Even if his talent is no longer there," he paused for a moment, recalling Adam's astonishing strength that was above everyone, "he's not someone a trash like you can insult."
The reason why this person spoke up to protect Adam wasn't because he had a good relationship with Adam, but because he couldn't bear to see the newcomers looking down on the old.
The boy suddenly turned around, his mental strength uncontrollably flowing out of his body, trying to find the person who had just spoken.
But Kovar was one step ahead and pressed on his shoulder, saying seriously, "Lee, although it's a little rude, you should learn not to express your opinions on things you don't understand."
The boy named Lee's face turned red, and he looked at Kovar in disbelief, "Brother Kovar, even you …"
Kovar shook his head to stop him from continuing. He reached out to accept the mission and left the mission hall.
According to the common sense of mages, unstable and difficult to control elements like the electric element had no research value. Although its power was more prominent in the lower levels, it would be surpassed quickly after the official level due to the lack of a way to advance. But he had a strong premonition that the person who created the Psychokinetic Meditation Technique wouldn't be so stupid, so he decided to participate in the recruitment.
Not for anything else, but just being able to be in close contact with the creator was enough for him to spend his time. Besides, it was just a job, not a job.
After going through layers of identity verification, he came to the third floor of the elemental laboratory building and gently knocked on the door.
The one who opened the door was Frank. After Kovar said his purpose, Frank directly brought him to Adam's room.
"We meet again, Mr. Adam," Kovar said with a smile.
Adam instantly remembered when he had met this person in front of him, but he didn't know Kovar's name.
"Kovar Butler, I'm here to apply to be an experimental assistant."
Adam glanced at him. He had seen him in front of the apprentice bar, which meant that Kovar had already found the direction of his research. Why would such a person choose to apply to be his assistant?
But Adam didn't ask. Instead, after verifying that Kovar had mastered the Psychokinetic Technique, he took out a contract and handed it to him. No matter what his purpose was, it didn't matter under the perfect contract.
Kovar didn't explain, and took the contract and read it carefully. The confidentiality provisions were no different from other contracts. After confirming that the contract was valid for one year, he signed his name..
.....
Three days later, a total of thirteen people joined the laboratory as Adam's assistants. Including the original James and Frank, fifteen Psychokinetic assistants were enough to save Adam a lot of tedious time. At this moment, he could finally carry out experiments to verify whether various electrical formulas and theorems were valid in the Ether environment.
Except for James and Frank, the other thirteen newcomers were initially full of doubts about Adam's experiment because it was completely different from the elemental laboratory in their impression. There was no elemental aura in the entire space, no runes, no magic, and no explosions. There were only simple experimental equipment that even mortals could easily operate.
Adam was usually a very easy-going person, but in the laboratory, he was a complete tyrant. They began to express their doubts to Adam, but Adam ignored them. He only asked them to carry out the experiments day after day, over and over again, and record every tiny change in the data.
They had no idea how the slight deviation on the thing that Adam named the torsion scale would help with magic.
They also didn't know what was the meaning of creating a container that could store electricity, using mithril to create a channel for the electric elements, and then placing a compass used on a mortal ship around it to observe the shaking of the compass needle when the electric elements passed through it.
There were many similar experiments that puzzled them. In contrast to their doubts, Adam was obsessed with every change in the data. Five months later, he did something that was even more incomprehensible to them.
The Sorcerer's Continent was a high-magic environment. This was due to the combined efforts of countless sorcerers, causing the extremely inert Ether to become slightly more active. But to Adam, this degree of activity was not enough for him to bring the data he obtained from the experiment into the Ether environment to verify it. So he spent a huge amount of energy stones to purchase an Ether environment generator. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, he threw in a few pieces of complete Ether crystals without hesitation.
"Adam, what are you …?" Kovar stuttered as he asked.
For these apprentices, Ether crystals were too far away from them. Kovar was considered to be somewhat knowledgeable, but among the others, many of them were seeing the most valuable currency in the Sorcerer's Continent for the first time. They didn't dare to imagine that someone would be willing to squander it like this.
Adam set the time on the Ether environment generator, then said to them, "Now, start building a full-load Psychokinetic barrier. After three minutes, the laboratory will enter an active state of Ether. If you feel that you can't withstand it, you can leave the laboratory and rest. Next, you have to record every change in the data. Remember, every single one! "
Hearing the warning in Adam's words, no one dared to delay and hurriedly built a defense system according to the rules. There was a faint trace of excitement in their hearts. Perhaps they would soon know the results of the series of experiments that Adam had conducted over the past few months.
The energy annihilation field that every elemental laboratory was equipped with began to work. After three minutes, the instrument began to eject activated Ether. Although there was no way to see it with the naked eye, everyone, including Adam, found it difficult to breathe. Their spiritual energy began to riot uncontrollably, and their mana began to pour into the Psychokinetic barrier like an avalanche.
Under Adam's command, they methodically began the experiments that they had been conducting for a long time. During this time, there were apprentices who could not withstand the active state of Ether and left the laboratory in an orderly manner. After taking a break, they once again entered the laboratory.
For two whole days, even though his body was corroded by the mana, Adam did not leave the laboratory. He only focused on looking at the collected data and quickly summarized them in his mind.
Finally, before his body was on the verge of collapse, he successfully verified that all the data was equally valid in an ether environment. He turned off the device, and just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, a shocking change happened to Adam's body …
