Chapter 282 Small talk
[Alchemy is a magical, mysterious and charming art. It is different from those vulgar magics. It is precise, rigorous but extremely creative. For thousands of years, countless great alchemists have discovered or researched various new Alchemy can bring us only one puzzle after another, compared with those increasingly boring, dull, and stupid sequences of elements, and in some Talented people solve them and generate more puzzles, and the cycle repeats without end.

Of course, it is difficult for most people to understand the joy of using a balance and a looking glass, and not many people can understand how much wisdom is contained in those seemingly boring ingredient lists.

I hope that more people can comprehend and love this art as much as I do. Maybe someone in it can brew happiness, synthesize wealth, and even...create death. Believe me, it's not complicated, after all, most alchemists can By learning how to make happy potions (but most pharmacists can't), every high-level alchemist can convert stone into metal through a rigorous experimental process, and any alchemist apprentice may be able to use it in various stupid attempts. It is a well-known fact that you kill yourself in the middle, but...

In any case, don't try to refine the human body, this is my only advice to you!
It is completely indescribable in words, the most terrifying, cruel, despicable, and vicious act in the world, it is not something that a person with a conscience can get involved in.

Take this advice to heart!

This is absolutely intolerable, a sin more terrifying than desecrating the soul of the dead.

——The 169th Chairman of the Alchemist Association/Great Sage Neil Flames "The Book of Flames"]

……

[The first time human body refinement appeared in front of the world was in 5230 of the Holy Calendar. It was a turbulent age. Daos Lopel, a crazy alchemist born in the Principality of Celebur, used Alchemy, the latter was distorted into a mixture of metal, flesh, thorns and thick water, she lost the ability to think and everything we can think of, and can only feel horrible pain that is beyond words. Ms. Janaya, the instructor, came to the conclusion when she perceived the former's soul. She said that she was powerless to save the other party, because the soul of the elf woman was torn into countless parts during Daoslow's forcible refining, and each part was taken away. Trapped in her current 'body', even 'destruction' in the conventional sense couldn't redeem that poor thing.

"It's terrible, I don't want to think about that feeling." Ms. Ganaya said to her friend while crying in a wanderer's hostel: "That girl has become a terrible thing, everything about her She is bound by every part of her body, she lives in every corner of her own, I can't tell you in detail, but... Even if we 'kill' her, it will not help, unless it is extremely thorough, a little Eliminate all traces of her without leaving a trace."

One month later, Pope Pamills of the Abundance Church freed the poor elf with a great magic spell, and Doslow was executed. The Alchemist Association declared that "human body refining" was an absolute taboo, and anyone who violated it would be permanently punished. It was delisted and regarded as the enemy of all intelligent creatures. Several neutral forces led by the Holy Church Union and the Magician's Union supported it. At that time, various countries on the mainland also included it in the law.

In the following hundreds of years, human body refining has never appeared in the public's field of vision, but until now, people's attitude towards it is still the same as back then.

——"The Eternal Evil: Human Body Refined Chapter"]

……

[There is a lot of evidence that the notorious [Blood Origin] has the research manuscripts of Daos Lopel in his lifetime, and there are also dozens of large-scale vicious incidents that occurred in the year 6153 of the Holy Calendar. Shadows, obviously, those lunatics with unknown purposes are extremely harmful, even no less than most cults or false gods, they are one of the thickest shadows entrenched on this continent, and the inhumane "human body refining" It seems to be one of their main methods of terror. Special attention needs to be paid here. The blood source will most likely have a lot of dark skills. They seem to have far more obsession with many research fields than others. The big potion that disappeared ten years ago Shi Ruiya, Graypaw and Silvermane Brighttail may be related to them. If the information is correct, it means that the blood source will still not disappear after thousands of years...

——"Shadows in the Sun: Modern Times"]

……

"Oh, interesting~"

Mo Tan, who sneaked into the restricted area of ​​the large library in the Saramune Trade District, closed the "Shadows in the Sun" in his hand with a smile, stretched comfortably between the two rows of old bookshelves, and then put his feet The pile of old and new books on the side were all put into the bag, and he took out a bottle of wine-scented healing potion and took a sip: "This world is really not boring at all, SUN, cult, False gods, beliefs, secret associations, human body refining, haha, no matter which one it is, it seems that it can bring me endless fun, it’s great, it’s simply great!”

Mo Tan raised his glass to the air, then poured the bottle of 'potion' whose healing effect had been reduced to almost zero, into his mouth, and said with a soft smile: "Speaking of which, the luck this time is really good, I didn't expect that little girl Luna's human body refining level to be able to directly reshape the body and organs. It's just that the consumption is a bit too much. I knew that I should use some oil when she was weak. By the way, I will explore Exploring the system's judgment rules for language induction is really careless..."

Of course, only the current him would think of such a thing, and Mo Tan at this moment is also very clear in his heart that when he logs in to the game again with an absolutely neutral personality, even if he still has the same chance, he will not really treat Luna. Do something.

"Do you want to consider going to Misha County and pretending to be yourself to collect more information?"

Mo Tan walked downstairs while talking to himself, at the moment he was wearing a dark blue robe, Baitai turned his face into a radiant dwarf old man, and he was wearing a Single eye, looks wise and elegant.

A human girl guarding outside lowered her head respectfully: "Master curator, are you going back?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, dear Bella." Mo Tan smiled and patted the cloth bag on his waist, then turned around and walked to the hall, without looking back, he said: "Don't tell anyone else that I'm a girl today. I have been here before, these books are not suitable for young children, if my wife finds out, it will be over."

The little girl nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly said in a daze, "But your wife passed away three years ago, didn't you?"

Mo Tan stopped in his tracks, then turned his head and gave the girl a crazy and painful look: "No, she is still alive, I know she is still alive, I can see her every day when I go home, she is always by my side , just don't talk, but I can see... I can see..."

The little girl really couldn't shake her head under the indescribable eyes of the other party, so she just lowered her head and remained silent with red eyes.

"Thank you……"

Mo Tan let out a long sigh, and then walked away quickly with his two short legs. As for how the real curator of this library will be discussed in the future, it is not within his consideration.

ten minutes later
【Study on human body refining is really put on hold for now, there are still a lot of things to do right now~】

Mo Tan, who had recovered his normal appearance, walked into the Liuli Pavilion humming a little song, but instead of looking for Remilia who lived on the top floor as usual, he returned to his own room, where there was already a person waiting she is gone.

"Welcome back, sir."

Ai Fanye, a priest of the Sun God Religion who was born in Pato City, immediately stood up from the sofa, stepped forward to take the robe from Motan, and carefully hung it in the closet next to him. Styles and styles of clothing range from the bard robes, traveling cloaks, and leather armor suits most commonly worn by Mo Tan to complicated noble robes, low-level knight armor, and civilian attire.

"Thank you~" Mo Tan smiled slightly, then walked to the sofa and sat down, holding Baitai in his hand and asked with a chuckle, "How's the progress?"

Xiao Ai took two plates of small snacks from the cabinet next to him and put them in front of Mo Tan, shaking her head uneasily: "It still feels a little difficult, I can barely manage to cast Yang Yan in a different way than before. It’s magical, but the effect is very poor, and it’s still unstable..."

"You've done a good job, sit down."

Mo Tan raised his eyebrows, then pointed to the position opposite him, picked up a biscuit and threw it into his mouth, whistled frivolously: "This speed is much faster than I expected, because you have no Did you believe in the Sun God that much before?"

"Sorry, I'm not sure..."

Xiao Ai shook her head hesitantly, then looked down at her palm, and after a while, two golden flames bloomed in her hands, beating tremblingly.

Mo Tan leaned over and looked at it carefully for a while, then laughed with great interest: "Is this the magic of the sun god system?"

"Yes, this is Yang Yan. Although it is a basic divine technique, if the caster is pious and powerful...it will also exert a strong power to heal your own wounds or attack the enemy..." Xiao Ai knocked He explained it bluntly, then shook his head in frustration: "But mine can only be used for lighting."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, then leaned back on the sofa and meditated thoughtfully. After a while, he smiled gently at Xiao Ai and said, "I heard that guy talk about your recent performance. Thank you for your hard work."

The girl immediately stroked the hair on her shoulders nervously, shook her head vigorously and said, "No...no, I'm honored to be able to help Mr., but I'm a little worried that I can't do it well... After all, I'm just from a small place. The trainee priests in the world have hardly felt the grace and power of God, if it is those powerful priests or..."

"If it's those powerful priests or something else~"

Mo Tan interrupted him with a chuckle, and said calmly: "It is absolutely impossible to do better than you, and you may even be punished by God. You can definitely give yourself more confidence."

"Huh?" Xiao Ai blinked in confusion, then lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I don't understand, sir."

Mo Tan shook his finger: "I can't let you understand too much."

"It's okay, sir." Xiao Ai didn't feel disappointed at all, she just nodded obediently and said, "I will follow whatever you ask."

"Thank you~"

Mo Tan nodded lightly, and did not continue the topic of loyalty, but asked Xiao Ai a very strange question: "Do you think the sun god Tisu is great?"

The little priest was a little confused, but after seeing that Mo Tan didn't mean to explain or guide, he nodded slowly: "I think it's great."

"Very good, very honest answer, I guess you have already seen that I have no respect for your god."

Mo Tan snapped his fingers crisply, then suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone became a little more serious: "Next, I want to chat with you casually, but before that, I need to make sure of a few key points. Click to avoid accidents~"

Xiao Ai sat up straight subconsciously: "Yes!"

"First of all, you must maintain respect for the gods, especially Tisu, the sun god you believe in."

Mo Tan very naturally said this paragraph of words that made the girl feel a little confused, and then stared at Xiao Ai's eyes and asked softly: "Secondly, I allow you to discuss and argue with me in the following process, but do not You are allowed to express silence or say something against your will out of awe of me when your views are contrary, understand?"

Xiao Ai blinked, eyes full of curiosity that couldn't be hidden: "Understood."

"Great, so... are you loyal to me?"

"Yes, I am loyal to you."

"Do you believe in me?"

"I……"

A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Ai's eyes, she shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know, I'm not sure if I believe in you."

"Very good answer, I believe you come from the heart~" Mo Tan clapped his hands briskly, and then continued to ask: "Then do you believe in the sun god Tisu?"

"Yes, I believe in my Lord."

"Are you loyal to him?"

"I am loyal to him." Xiao Ai gave the answer almost without hesitation, but continued with a very serious expression in the next second: "But I am more loyal to you."

Mo Tan blew a frivolous kiss to Xiao Ai: "Because I saved you and Cole, avenged Lada, and left Lorna's soul behind?"

The girl nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are right."

Mo Tan quickened the pace of questioning: "Does it have anything to do with my being handsome?"

"Well, I don't think it matters."

"Then do you think I'm handsome? Well, this face now."

"I thought it was quite ordinary at first, but after a long time, I think it's quite handsome."

Xiao Ai answered honestly, completely following Mo Tan's previous request, and didn't say a word against her will.

The latter lay on the ground in the position of OTZ, somewhat injured, with black lines all over his head.

Xiao Ai was right then: "Well, sir, I..."

"Has your god ever helped you?"

"what……?"

"Has your god ever noticed you?"

"I……"

"Your God~" Mo Tan stood up slowly, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth: "Is it really a 'God'?"
