Chapter 65
Difference between East and West
Kulov stood up with a smile, pulled the students who were bowing to thank him, and walked towards the small door on the wall of the large alchemy room. "Let's go, I will take you to cleanse the toxins, and then go outside and wait for a while."
A few minutes later, Xia Zuo put on a clean starry night robe and followed his instructor to the corridor.
Kulov closed the door behind him and said:
"Perform very well. When you checked the alchemy equipment, I knew you would definitely pass the test. With your level of caution, it is easy to discover the unique poisonous effect of that bottle of poison."
Xia Zuo smiled humbly, "Thanks to Professor for your good teaching."
"Hoho." Kulov smiled and stroked his beard, "You are so tactful sometimes, and you don't even blush when you compliment me."
The two of them came to the terrace where they were standing before and looked at the prosperity of Starry Night City.
"I discussed with my teacher, Master Adanawados, and decided to use a master-level element bottle as a reward for passing the test. In addition to helping you complete your first meditation, the master-level element bottle has another function..."
Kulov introduced the concept of innate spells, which sounded similar to what Senior Mars said, but in more detail.
Kuruf specifically mentioned that the innate spells that can be obtained through master-level element bottles will be one of the spells that the maker of the element bottles fully masters.
The master-level elemental bottle that is about to be obtained is made by Master Adanavados.
The winner of this game of chess can lead mankind to spread its branches on the Western Continent!
Kulov pointed in the direction of the large alchemy room:
"The inspection team has other things to do when they come to the school this time. They want to go deep into the interior of this continent and carefully investigate the situation there."
"Hmm..." Xia Zuo thought for a few seconds and said:
"I feel that the Eastern Continent has more strange things.
Compared with the turbulent and monster-infested Eastern Continent, the Western Continent is truly a place suitable for human life.
Only the user can know the specific conditions in the element bottle during use.
At the same time, the Alchemy School wants to take this opportunity to prove to other schools that learning alchemy is the best choice for those who acquire affinity to become a mage.
The teacher and student were chatting casually, and the topic gradually turned to the Eastern Continent.
Kulov stood with his hands behind his hands and introduced the history of the Western Continent in a calm tone.
Undoubtedly the alchemical school and the warrior guild.
There are no monsters that show their teeth and claws and exude the smell of blood. There are no magic grasses that jump out of the ground and run away from humans. There are no monsters that devour corpses and dive into the water to avoid pursuit...
The natural environment here is completely different from that of the eastern continent.
Is it because too many elements are plundered from nature that monsters continue to appear in the Eastern Continent?
But... didn't the sages try to contain elements and become mages just to fight monsters, and then evolved many schools of thought to fight monsters?
Many branches of the Alchemy School are closely related to the lives of civilians and can operate normally without exotic resources, improving the productivity and living standards of civilians.
"This plan still needs the approval of the Mage Temple, which will be at least five or ten years from now."
They planted magical grass from the Eastern Continent on this land, tried to breed magical beasts, and even brought monsters for experiments.
Master Adanawados thus mastered many auxiliary spells for detection, self-preservation, and other effects.
Kulov pinched his beard:
"Try to improve it as much as possible and then tell me the answer.
After listening to his instructor's description, Xia Zuo felt that his vision suddenly broadened, and it seemed as if a big chess game involving a competition between schools appeared in front of him.
Kulov pointed to the urban area lined with stone houses in the distance and said:
The producer himself does not know which spell will be obtained specifically, and it depends on the specific production process.
So, who is best suited to explore the Western Continent?
There are no warcraft or monsters in the Western Continent, so the school of demon hunting has no use. Tower scholars are not interested in things other than magic.
Even the indigenous people of this continent are just a group of ordinary people wielding knives, forks and sticks and yelling.
But the schools of thought agree on one thing:
No large-scale migration will be carried out until the cause of the monster's appearance is thoroughly understood.
Wild animals, just ordinary tigers, forest wolves, forest bears, etc.
Kulov reached out and put his hand on the student's shoulder, patted it twice and said:
"I'm telling you this to tell you that even if you don't succeed in practicing meditation for the first time and your spiritual ocean is severely damaged again, you can continue to stay in the academy to study poison alchemy. Wait until your spiritual ocean is repaired and then try to practice again.
Meditation method.”
The mages responsible for the reconnaissance found that there were unruly elements here, and there were many of them.
If you are lucky enough to get a gifted spell, it will definitely come in handy.
A vast ocean lies between the two continents, dividing the east and west continents.
To the locals of the Starry Night Kingdom, strange things are more like illusory things in legends.
The news of the discovery of the Western Continent was immediately blocked by the Mage Temple and other schools, and several mages were sent to investigate.
"Yes." Kulov nodded, "Each element has hundreds of qualities. But a mage apprentice can only have 16 element qualities."
Xia Zuo discovered this while shopping.
The mage tames the unruly elements and collects the well-behaved elements into the spiritual ocean.
The warrior guild has a low threshold, which helps to cultivate armies and city guards, use ordinary weapons to fight stubborn natives and wild beasts, and prevent spells from intervening in violent conflicts.
"It will probably take me another two months to master all the entry-level recipes."
These test results triggered heated discussions within the temple.
"Well, yes, Anru'er mentioned it to me." Xia Zuo nodded.
Visitors from the Eastern Continent were reluctant to leave here due to the various anomalies they discovered when they first came to the Western Continent.
Warcraft and monsters are collectively called monsters.
The Alchemy School's permission for Starry Night Academy to recruit acquired affinity students is a signal that the exploration work has entered the second stage.
"Yes, Professor. I will not let you down." Xia Zuo responded with a solemn nod, feeling that the university valued him.
Xia Zuo drew a rhombus shaped like a four-pointed star in front of him:
"I have conceived the sixteen elemental qualities. But I am not 100% sure that they are correct."
The journey of exploration began when Lady Starry Night established the Kingdom of Starry Night, and it has been 200 years now.
"The inspection team has concluded your test. I will help you put away the master-level element bottle first. You can go do your own thing. I have to stay here for a while."
Strange resources refer to monsters, magic grass and magic minerals.
Xia Zuo asked: "Professor, are you saying there is no single correct answer?"
Many beings in the temple want to figure out the reason for the obvious differences between the two continents, so as to avoid large-scale migration and turn the Western Continent into another place where monsters are rampant.
In short, this great debate, full of affirmation and denial, persistence and criticism, continues to this day and has not ended yet.
Starry Night Kingdom only produces ordinary ores and herbs. The general course textbook mentions magic grass, magic minerals, magic beasts and monsters. These strange things are all unique to the Eastern Continent.
"You have read a lot of books related to the Eastern Continent recently. What do you think is the difference between Starry Night Kingdom and the Eastern Continent?"
The Eastern Continent is the birthplace of human civilization.
He himself has experienced the dark days before the emergence of the black-eye poison, a rugged period when poison alchemists could only improve elemental resistance in pain and explore unknown toxins.
Behind the two of them came the figure of shaking paper, and a letter flew from the big alchemy room.
Is it the monsters that cause the turmoil in the Eastern Continent, or is the Eastern Continent itself a breeding ground for monsters?
"In comparison, Starry Night Kingdom here is more like a pure civilian country. It is not disturbed by Warcraft and monsters. There are almost no magic grasses and magic mines produced by the natural environment. If it were not for rogue bandits, Starry Night Kingdom would be very peaceful. "
"That's right, the place where Starry Night Kingdom is located, we call it the Western Continent..."
"Poison alchemy is in urgent need of young expert alchemists, otherwise Starry Night Kingdom's plan to expand its territory will be disrupted. Speaking of which, how is your self-study going? Have you conceived the characteristics of the elements?"
"Elemental traits are related to which spells you can learn in the future. The more comprehensive your conception, the more spells you can learn."
Kulov opened the letter, read it once and said:
Without exception, all were successful.
About a few hundred years ago, someone crossed the ocean for the first time and discovered the western continent where the Starry Night Kingdom is located.
He paused, looked at the student and asked, "You should know the kingdom's plan to expand its territory, right?"
Kulov did not explain much, but said that once the master-level element bottle is made, it will be completely sealed.
"This is the treatment you deserve." Kulov patted the student's shoulder again:
"Yes, Professor. I'm leaving first."
Xia Zuo walked towards the corridor and turned into the staircase. He was still recalling his mentor's previous words in his mind, ignoring the artworks he passed by.
Halfway through the walk, he touched his somewhat dry belly and planned to go to the poison refining area to refine poison after having lunch with Anruer.
