 Chapter 603 603 Study Three

 The White Tower of the Empire.

 As the largest and most iconic mage union in the empire, the White Tower represents the highest glory of the Mage Association.

The 139-story white tower houses the 139 most powerful mages in the entire empire.

 They are collectively called White Tower Masters.

 At the moment in the snowy forest in the east, two mages were completely killed by Li Chengyi.

 In the white tower, an old mage on the thirteenth floor suddenly opened his eyes.

He glanced at a pale butter lamp hanging on the wall. The lamp base had six branches, and a flame was lit above each branch.

At this time, two of the flames were completely extinguished.

"Tig and the others are dead?" The old mage's face darkened.

 The cover of the book in his hand clearly says: Introduction to Demon Pet Breeding.

 Perhaps it is some spellcasting research materials, Li Chengyi didn't know, the key is, these things are of no use to him.

 “Do you need to take action?”

The owl stood firmly on the windowsill, looking at the old mage with its big, round eyes.

These powders are stored in an exquisite crystal bottle.

Li Chengyi gently closed the last page of the book and fell into thought.

　　‘Every transformation of a magic pet is the crystallization of countless wisdom and good luck, and cannot be accomplished overnight. A large number of mages are required to work together to tackle the problem. As for the nine types of familiar projects now controlled by the White Tower of the Empire, the three most commonly used ones were conquered by the White Tower itself and the mages.’

Li Chengyi then began to try to use other materials to test. He wanted to find a material that would not generate electricity through friction to split the stone.

 For mages, even the most powerful White Tower mage relies heavily on magic pets as combat aids.

 In this regard, the Mora family's Thunder Beast Project is a prime example. After a century of repeated exploration, they finally transformed countless animals of various types, but ended in failure. ’

"Tiger and the others are dead. They died in the east. You take people to investigate. I want specific and detailed information to find the murderer." The old mage said solemnly.

 The stone was taken out from the griffin's body. The entire griffin's body was flashing tiny arcs of electricity.

 “Lord Meda, what are your orders?” It asked in a low voice, making a human voice.

 “Brian.” The old mage thought for a moment and called softly.

He took out a set of metal tools from a drawer on the side. He took out a sharp knife, pressed it on the stone, and started cutting.

 He ​​rubbed the surface of the stone with his hands. The rough texture made him feel an inexplicable tingling in his heart.

The owl flapped its wings and flew away in a blink of an eye, disappearing into the wind and snow in the sky at high speed.

Now, they are dead, and he has to train new assistants. The difference in losses caused by this back and forth will be an extremely uncomfortable figure for him.

 Now is the time to study it.

This kind of arc generation seems to be an enhanced version of frictional electricity.

 Poof.

  ‘The cultivation of a demon pet requires seventy-two processes and a step-by-step transformation. Transforming an ordinary creature into a magical creature is a project that requires exploration and experimentation for a long time.

  So the more powerful the mage is, the more powerful his magic pets are.

 This is the trophy he found from the two dead mages. There is no introduction to meditation, no spells, just this simple book filled with knowledge about raising familiars.

 “Next, next.”

“If the time permits, yes.” The old mage nodded.

 Putting the book in the drawer and locking it, he picked up a dark blue irregular fist-sized stone on the side.

 Eastern Oklahoma City·Blacksburg.

 They seem to rely more on magic pets as a supplement to their combat power.

 Poof!

Suddenly, a snow-white owl swooped down from the window of the room.

Li Chengyi raised his hand and looked at the surface of the arm skin. The hairs there stood up like spikes.

 But it is very difficult. As long as there is slight friction, a small arc will be generated.

After an afternoon of trying, finally, a little bit of fine powder was cut off from the thing he named the Griffin Stone.

He could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary, so he dug it up and took it away.

 “White Tower.” He put down the book, thoughtfully.

 out out out out out out out out and out (into out of school).

In addition, most of the other things found from the two mages were bottles and jars in a row, containing various unidentifiable materials.

 The so-called familiars are special magical creatures that they cultivate and transform through various special means.

 It’s like being passed through by an electric current.

 ‘Can just touching produce an electric current? This thing doesn't seem very stable.' He frowned.

 This mage from the Sola Empire is completely different from the mage he once knew.

Li Chengyi's research methods are limited, and due to the limitations of instruments, it is impossible for him to analyze its characteristics in detail.

 For the Tianju Pavilion monks, the most convenient, direct and easy research method is to burn.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　plicity

 In the study, Li Chengyi mixed the powder with water and swallowed it.

 Inside its body, part of the powder was fully covered by the power of the Yuanshen Sword Palace, and then ingested, turning into a plume of dust and smoke, and flying into the huge suspended sword furnace in the Sword Palace.

As one of the Twelve Flower Languages, the Qiyi Sheng Gong plays a decisive role as a bridge in this process. Because of Hua Yu’s extremely high status, she is not completely limited even in this world, so she can wrap up that little bit of dust and bring it into the sword palace through the wisdom sword love thread of the Seven Intentions Holy Spirit Skill.

 The gorgeous Yuan Shen Sword Palace is now much more sophisticated and complicated than before.

 On the walls and ceiling, there are biographical records of human-faced Yuan Shen Swords everywhere.

Yuan Yin, which was populated by a large number of characters, was thrown into the sword furnace by Li Chengyi and burned, thus strengthening the sword furnace itself.

 This is one of the reasons why his cultivation can reach the peak of Qi and Fire so quickly.

At this moment, the powder of the Griffin Stone flew into the sword furnace, and in an instant, a blue flame suddenly shot up with a blue arc.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　click.

The blue electric arc formed a large net, completely covering the entire sword furnace in an instant.

Not long after, the arc dissipated, and its related characteristics were quickly fed back from the sword furnace to Li Chengyi's consciousness.

 This is the power of the underworld. Why does the furnace of creation burn everything? Tianju Pavilion Taoist, this is the reason why the more you burn, the stronger you become.

 In reality, Li Chengyi was sitting in his study, closing his eyes and concentrating, experiencing the various characteristics of the griffon stone reflected back.

 During the burning process, there is a subtle force that further strengthens the entire sword furnace.

This seemingly not very powerful Griffin Stone, just a little bit of powder, is actually equivalent to one-tenth of what he gained when he burned an entire protoss!

This discovery made him feel a little shocked.

‘In other words, if I burn the entire Griffin Stone, the growth I will gain is almost the same as burning more than ten protoss’

 ‘What on earth is this place? ’ Thinking of this, Li Chengyi’s heart became more solemn.

If what he lacks in promotion now is not burning, but a large amount of knowledge about the structure of the world, perhaps completely burning the Griffin Stone in one go would be the most correct approach.

  Dong dong dong..

 Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the study door.

"who?"

"It's me, Buck." The voice of Old Buck, the steward of Black Castle, came from outside the door.

 “Please come in, Uncle Buck.” Li Chengyi put away his things and stood up.

With a click, the door opened.

 Old Buck, dressed in a neat and exquisite black dress with silver trim, walked in quietly.

 He bowed first, then straightened up.

“An envoy from Mage City came to inquire about the two mages who disappeared in the forest a few days ago.”

“Messengers from Mage City? Bring them in.” Li Chengyi thought about the powder feedback he received while thinking about how to use this special material.

He observed that the material itself can generate a large amount of current with just simple friction. So if it can be fixed with a constantly sliding device and rubbed repeatedly, can it produce a continuous supply of current?

How did this principle come about?

The essence of triboelectricity in modern science is the transfer of electric charges. The fact that so much electric current can be generated here does it mean that the matter itself and the electric charges bound in the atoms here are much more than in the past world?

 So after the charge transfer, the electric field generated is much stronger?

Li Chengyi thought of this and wrote down this thought.

 ‘Then do the charges bound by other substances all have the same amount? ’ This requires experimentation.

Soon, when he came to his senses, Old Buck had already walked into the study with a middle-aged female mage wearing a blue robe and a hexagram pattern.

The female mage's face was cold and solemn, and there was a faint sense of distance in her brown eyes.

 She first bowed slightly to Li Chengyi.

"Baron Okla, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Dulvi, the envoy of the White Tower. I came here specifically to investigate the disappearance of Master Teague. It was found that you had entered the snow forest with Master Teague before, looking for the griffon. , so I came to ask you about the relevant details of the disappearance case.”

"I don't know them, and I haven't seen them in the forest. Are there any other questions?" Li Chengyi said simply.

“Then have you found any traces of gryphons in the forest?”

 “No.” Li Chengyi said.

 “Have you heard the roar of the gryphon?”

“Yes, I heard it, but when I passed by, everything had completely disappeared. When I saw that I had nothing to gain, I left on my own.” Li Chengyi replied.

“About Babbitt, have you ever seen him at the Vicomte’s salon before?”

The female mage started asking random irrelevant questions.

Li Chengyi also answered carefully one by one.

 The two asked and answered each other for a long time before it ended.

 The female mage bowed, said goodbye, and walked out of the study.

 Li Chengyi was left sitting down, thinking for a moment.

 He just asked the other party if he could find the whereabouts of Master Teague, would he be eligible to buy the Master's books?

　　But the other party sternly refused.

 This made him very unhappy.

‘It seems that there are no other options on the mage’s side. We need to change our thinking. Regular channels are not working. Maybe we need to think of new channels. ’

After the inquiring female mage left, Li Chengyi immersed himself in research again. The various properties of the Griffin Stone made him more and more obsessed.

After in-depth research, he discovered that the source of the charge of the Griffin Stone was actually not all from the friction transfer charge, and a large part of it was added out of thin air.

When the Griffin Stone is rubbed, a large amount of some kind of indirect product is vaguely and temporarily generated inside it. This kind of product exists for a very short time, only a few microseconds at most.

If Li Chengyi had not had the sword furnace auxiliary combustion analysis, I am afraid he would not have been able to accurately discover it.

 He ​​named this substance the heart of the griffon, which means the core of the griffon's power generation ability.

After studying the Griffin Heart for more than ten days, Li Chengyi discovered the key reason for its extra charge.
