ALL NOVEL Chapter 25 Arriving at the school
The new carriage in Rosak City met up with other carriages outside the pass at the junction of the two provinces.
Six fully loaded black carriages formed a long queue, continuing to move north along the road between the mountains.
Xia Zuo was silently memorizing the basic textbook on poison alchemy.
A dull sigh came from across the table.
"Senior Mars."
Little Mo was still not used to the titles in the school.
It took him two days after getting on the bus to adapt to his current status, and he changed his address to Mars from "Your Excellency", "Your Excellency", and "Sir" to his current "Senior".
Little Mo Ben was lying on the table, with a heavy book folded in front of him. His face, which was blackened by the fire, was a little depressed:
"I'm not suitable for reading. I can't remember the words on it at all."
Little Merben has broad shoulders and a thick back. He has accumulated strong muscles over many years of helping his father push and pull the blower. It's a pity that the more muscles in the brain, the more useful it is.
He would rather spend the whole day tinkering at the furnace than sit at the table reading.
Those words with tails trailing like meteors and connected from end to end in a circle are like hypnotic notes that make people sleepy.
In the few days since he got in the car, he has not even read a single book, let alone memorized the difficult-to-understand knowledge.
"Little Moben, don't be discouraged."
Mars sat next to the other party and said: "You will enter the Department of Rare Objects and Alchemy. There will be very few reading courses and most of them will be practical courses."
"But... can I do a good job in practical lessons?"
Little Moben looked at his rough and swollen fingers, becoming more and more frustrated and decadent.
"Little Moben!"
Mars wanted to put his arm around the other person's shoulders, but found that he was still a little short of reaching the shoulder, so he patted the other person's back instead.
"Don't cry in despair. According to me, you will directly study the Giant Creation subject of the Department of Strange Objects and Alchemy. Your instructor is Bolton, who is not good at reading like you, but has a strong ability to control the temperature of the furnace."
Little Moben sat up straight and clenched his hands on the table into fists.
He seemed to be particularly sensitive to the four words "furnace temperature", as if they would bring faith, and the look on his face gradually became more confident.
Mars slapped the other person on the back hard, "Believe me, the professors are not wrong in their judgmental eyes. As long as you can finish reading this book, the rest of the courses will be easy."
Xiao Moben nodded in response, closed his lips tightly, turned into a silent subway blanket, and opened the book again.
Xia Zuo glanced at the other party's reading progress and only reached page 13...
For "Alchemical Linguistics" which has more than 2,000 pages, page 35 is the first text, preceded by a table of contents and a must-read introduction.
Fundamentals of Poison Alchemy: The Separation of Toxins is written in two languages.
Use common language for non-essential content, that is, the language in which you usually speak and write.
Once it comes to the alchemical content that cannot tolerate errors, it will be replaced by the alchemical language composed of formulas, tenses, operations, quantifiers and numbers.
Xia Zuo spent more than half a month memorizing "Alchemical Linguistics" in the library of the testing station. If it weren't for the help of Golden Finger...he wouldn't be any better than others.
There are 17 general operations in alchemy, and unfilled geometric figures are used as symbols in the alchemical language.
For example, a circle represents mixing, a triangle represents heating, a square represents standing…
The alchemical formula is similar to the chemical formula learned in the previous life. The left side is the raw material and the right side is the product. The upper part of the "=" or "→" in the middle is the operation, and the lower part is the duration or number of times.
Raw materials are named with numbers. But not a number like "123," but an even less confusing uppercase character.
Common products, like raw materials, are referred to by special character combinations. Intermediate products are represented by filled geometric figures.
The hardest part is the tense.
For example, a weak recovery potion has more than a dozen processes in its production process.
Some processes are in a sequential relationship, while others are carried out simultaneously. The same is true between process groups.
Therefore, it is necessary to use very precise tense grammar to tell the producer when to do something.
When Xia Zuo memorized 15 types of tense grammar, a lot of hair fell out...
By the time I memorized the entire book and entered it into the [Knowledge Reserve], my cheeks had become so thin that they sunk into the skin, exposing my jawbone.
This profound and swoon-worthy "Alchemical Linguistics" provides 30 experience points and 0.5 spirit points!
No matter in terms of time-consuming, difficulty or rewards, it is completely worth ten more common tomes.
Good luck to little Merben Riley
Xia Zuo sent blessings in his heart and continued to recite the textbook on poison alchemy.
The information entered into the [Knowledge Reserve] will not be forgotten and can be accessed at any time.
Despite this, Xia Zuo would still often open his "Alchemical Linguistics" and pretend to be looking for key points.
The professors in the school must have very high perceptions, so they must develop the habit of pretending in advance.
Before you are able to handle the professor's cross-examination, you must avoid exposing your abnormalities.
…
After the convoy picked up the last carriage, it ran for half a month.
One morning.
After getting up, Xia Zuo simply washed up, sat at the table, ate slices of bread and read a book.
The same is true for Mars and Little Merben. The three of them use the bathroom alternately in a tacit understanding.
The guard's voice came from outside the car window.
Xia Zuo didn't stand up and look around, but just listened for a while.
It seems that the carriage is being inspected in front of the city gate.
He was used to this and continued to read.
About 20 minutes later, the sound of chains being dragged was heard outside the window.
Mars raised his head as if he was aware of it, walked to the window and took a look at the scene outside, then turned back and shouted to the freshmen who were studying hard:
"We're here! We just entered the school gate."
Xia Zuo looked over blankly, with several difficult knowledge points still lingering in his mind. He didn't come back to his senses until the other party dragged him to the window.
The carriage passed through the doorway of the low wall and walked onto a square stone tile floor. Several flower beds and stone pavilions were located on the green grass.
Xia Zuo leaned on the window frame and looked forward. A little further away was the open square and the majestic gray castle.
More than twenty carriages stopped in the square.
The freshmen followed their respective leaders out of the carriage, climbed the twenty steps, and walked into the castle hall lined with stone pillars.
Sunlight passes through the colored glass skylight and casts colorful light beams on the smooth marble floor, illuminating the hall.
The freshmen around them started making an inexplicable noise and pointed at the light pillar, as if there was something colorful there that was attracting them.
Xia Zuo glanced around in the noisy environment, throwing detection techniques at the mops and rags that mopped the floor on their own, and the feedback without exception was that they were unknown things.
The crowd of freshmen stopped in the middle of the hall.
A tall bearded man stood in front of everyone. He looked about 30 years old and was wearing a black short robe.
He glanced at the leaders of each team with calm eyes, and every senior student who caught his attention nodded to him.
