Chapter 96
Not only James, but even Master Kino seemed to be relieved after seeing Adam. He hurriedly said to Adam, "This is a Level Two freelance alchemist from Antana. Moldo Hyperdimension will be next. You can settle your own matters." After saying that, he ran out as if he was escaping.
The Level Two alchemist was a tall man. Adam could only reach his chest. He mumbled, "Tower alchemists are troublesome. No matter how much I … I won't do anything to an apprentice."
Adam politely invited Mort into the laboratory, and then motioned for James and the others to stay put. He then led the muttering Mort and Frank into his living room.
"Good day, Sir Mort." After a moment of silence, Adam took the initiative to speak.
Mort sized up Adam for a while, and his dissatisfied expression gradually became less intense. "You have the aura of knowledge on you. Real knowledge. You seem to be one of us."
Adam was not in the mood to chat with an unfamiliar alchemist. He asked straightforwardly, "So, Sir Mort, what is the purpose of your visit?"
In terms of identity, Adam's words were actually a little rude, but Mort did not mind. Perhaps this was the difference between freelance alchemists and tower alchemists. They lived in the city's commercial environment for a long time, and did not care much about these minor details. Or perhaps it was because Adam was considered half an alchemist.
"Although you have real knowledge, I can't feel the wonderful aura of alchemy from you." Mort looked into Adam's eyes. "You are not an alchemist. What right do you have to modify my masterpiece?"
Frank did not speak. Although he was one of the parties involved, he had no right to speak at this time.
Adam thought for a moment, and then said, "Sir, the reason why alchemists can't fit into mechanical bodies is that their flesh and blood can't resist the corrosion of magic."
Mage Mort snorted. This was something that everyone knew, but his self-restraint made him not rush to refute.
Adam took out the new mechanical body brought by Frank. Looking at the flowing metal and the flashing rune groups on it, he praised, "I'm deeply fascinated by the wonders of alchemy, but I'm not so arrogant as to try to overturn the existing manufacturing technology with my shallow wisdom."
"Although the apprentices have mastered the ability to use magic, they are still mortals in essence. And this," Adam stretched out a finger and let the controlled and stable electric current flow silently on his finger, "is a kind of energy that mortals can use safely. It is clean and harmless."
Wizard Mo De tried to restrain himself, but finally, he could not help but say, "Electric element? Isn't it triggered by magic? The weak bodies of mortals can't stay in contact with it for long periods of time. Furthermore, what does this have to do with my masterpiece? "
Adam had a headache. This was indeed a problem, but he could not proceed with the next step of the experiment yet. Otherwise, he would really be unable to control his advancement to a mage. Now, he could only use a low-efficiency method to demonstrate it.
Adam took out a simple battery from his Dimensional Pocket and handed it to Mage Mort, then said, "So far, my research can only reach this level, but it can already store a certain amount of electric element. After a one-time use of magic to trigger it, it has nothing to do with magic."
Mage Mort took the battery skeptically. His eyes flashed, and the battery immediately disintegrated in his hand. The electricity stored in it burst out, and then he gently squeezed it into nothingness.
Mage Mort felt the energy for a moment and found that it was really just natural element. There was no magic in it. He suddenly looked up at Adam, "What is this?"
"I call it a battery."
Mage Mort was silent for a moment. Then, his tone changed and he said, "It's not a bad thing, but for a mage, it doesn't seem to be anything …" He suddenly stopped because Adam had said before that he wanted to modify the mechanical bodies used by apprentices.
Adam admitted frankly, "After the electric element becomes independent, its energy level is far lower than magic and Ether. Of course, the great mages don't need it. However, mages are not the only ones in this world. Mortals also occupy a large portion of the population."
Mage Mort was shocked. All this time, mages had neglected the possibility of mortals possessing tremendous power. Weak, unable to withstand a single blow, and unable to perform the tasks assigned to them by mages were their labels. However, if there really was an energy source that could be used by mortals, how great of a benefit would it bring them?
When he thought of this, the way he looked at Adam changed. However, he quickly cut off his dangerous thoughts. Not only would the Moldova Tower not allow it, the Planar Guardian of the Mage Plane and the Council of Necromancers would not allow it either …
When he thought of this, he said to Adam, "Can I take a look at your modification?"
Adam was stunned. He did not expect the mage to make such a request. He thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Of course, but I'm sorry. I think, first, this will require a contract from a higher being." Having the help of a master alchemist was of course a good thing, but Adam had to be sure that the technology would not be stolen. Otherwise, the huge benefits he expected would be wasted. He did not doubt the wisdom of these mages. The only reason they did not discover it was because they lacked a burst of inspiration.
Mage Mort agreed to Adam's request without hesitation, "Of course, I will invite the master of the tower to be a witness." Then, he left the laboratory without hesitation.
After the mage left, Frank said hesitantly, "Adam, if it's too troublesome, why don't you just give up?"
Adam looked at him and said, "It has nothing to do with you. This is not a bad thing. Now, you can start adjusting your condition. The experiment will be carried out quickly. The process of separating the current mechanical body will be extremely painful. "
Frank left anxiously.
Adam really did not think that this was a bad thing. The structure of a precision machine was very complicated. It would take a lot of time to study it from scratch. If there was a creator to help, it would undoubtedly be a good thing. Of course, the premise was that it was confidential.
.....
Adam met with Mage Mort again the next day. Along with him was President Victor.
"You're really unexpected. I didn't think that your research could be expanded into the field of alchemy and energy." Victor The Mage's expression seemed normal. It was obvious that the agreement between Mage Mort and the tower was going smoothly.
Then, Victor The Mage took out a contract. It did not look like a physical object, but a materialization of energy. He placed the contract on the table and said to the two of them, "Sign this contract. Your agreement will be protected by both the Wizard Tower and the Holy Tower. Anyone who dares to violate the agreement will be punished by the mage plane's will."
