Chapter 242 Dawn
The repair of the alchemy table is not difficult for the alchemists who always have replacement items, and reconstructing the complex magic array is not too difficult for the three of them. As for the life crystal, there are now materials from the Black Castle. In the library, even Matt can be mobilized at will.
This time with the help of Alofa, an old alchemist, things will definitely go smoother, but Mulan and Matt will have to explain the principles to him in detail during the process of repairing the alchemy array.
"We believe that human body refining is not suitable for directly refining a human body to transfer consciousness."
"Yes, something like the embryonic incubation of organisms or the cocooning process of butterflies would be more appropriate."
Alofa held the complete version of the alchemy drawings, watched the two men repairing the spell array with alchemical materials, and also spoke.
"Considering the original shape of this Avenger, it is obviously not suitable to give birth to a baby, so you use the cocooning plan. What about the soul? The Avenger's soul must not be perfect either. It is easy to fail even if it has an empty body."
Mulan pointed to the table over there.
"The third issue of "Truth and Magic" contains the answer. Although the submission must have some reservations, the known parts have been of great use to us and have perfectly solved the shortcomings of the magic array."
"Yeah!"
Matt got even more excited when he said this.
"Professor Alofa, you know, Professor Jonst should not have chosen the path of the Radiant Knight at all. He is simply a natural alchemist. This part was his attempt to modify and integrate into the spell formation. It is perfect. If he has the energy to It would be nice to spend it on alchemy."
Alofa took a deep look at Mulan. The so-called "the road is not absolute" was also said by Jonst to the students in class. It seemed that it was not just said casually. Alofa's gaze was no longer Look at the desktop over there.
It seems that "Truth and Magic" is indeed amazing, and Alofa was a little scornful of it before.
Soon, everything was ready. The three of them formed a triangle, with blood hearts, human true blood, and life crystals in each corner. Barton lay back on the alchemy table in the middle.
The magic power of the three parties was operating at the same time. The magic array gradually lit up with magic power and began to float. The alchemical materials also floated up. After a few minutes, they were all integrated into the magic array, and the magic power also stabilized.
During this process, all three of them were slightly nervous.
It wasn't until the light stabilized that Matt and the others felt slightly relieved. It was at this stage that the energy imbalance caused the explosion.
Rays of light flew out from the spell formation and wrapped around the alchemy table one after another. Barton's body seemed to be wrapped in a cocoon, with lights constantly blending into the cocoon.
Although Mulan and others could not see Barton, they could vaguely sense that the existence in the cocoon was in a magical state of fragmentation, blurred, but still alive.
Because of the continuous input of magic power from the spell array, the refining process will certainly not be as long as a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
"Gudong~Gudong~Gudong"
More than an hour later, the sound of a heartbeat went from slight to louder, becoming more and more powerful. Barton's body seemed to be in a state of broken combination under the influence of alchemical power, and was even in a strange burning state. state.
Some impurities in the original body are constantly burning.
Yes, this alchemical formation is close to some of the content in the third issue of "Truth and Magic", and with the participation of one of the developers, Mulan, it was implemented smoothly.
The magic input of the three people has stopped long ago. At this stage, the alchemy circle can already operate independently.
"We seem to be succeeding"
Alofa whispered, but in fact he was far less calm than he appeared.
Refining the human body has always been a taboo in alchemy, and the number of successes has been very few since ancient times. Even the so-called successful ones, their authenticity and perfection are largely open to question.
But today, it seems like we are really going to succeed!
Matt was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He clenched his fists tightly with his hands, holding the alchemy tools in his hands and observing the cocoon on the alchemy table very carefully.
"We are going to succeed! We are going to succeed! Me, Professor Alofa and Professor Jonst, we are going to become the great alchemists in history who have completed the refining of the human body!"
"Gudong~Gudong~Gudong"
The intensity of the heartbeat continues to grow stronger, and even the light on the alchemy circle is shaken, producing a ripple of light arc vibration.
Mulan, Matt and Alofa's hair all had a slight tendency to rise. The three of them looked at each other and took a few steps back in unison.
By the time it got dark, the brilliance of the alchemy formation had finally dimmed, and the exaggerated heartbeat had calmed down. Only the cocoon on the alchemy table was still emitting a faint brilliance.
"Kacha. Kacha kacha"
The cocoon cracked like an eggshell, and soon the entire cocoon shattered. A hand stretched out from the inside and pulled out the nearby cocoon, and then a person sat up.
Barton sat on the alchemy table, staring blankly at his hands and feet, at his chest and abdomen, at the hair on his body and the various ravines and lines on his skin.
It no longer looks like a pinched face like it used to, now it has pores and the skin can breathe.
The fingers and toes move, and the bones and muscles can be felt, and even the pulse transmitted to the fingertips can be felt. It is no longer the weird body that it once was.
"I'm not a monster anymore."
The voice comes out very thick, very powerful, and most importantly, very clear!
"My voice, I have a voice!"
Barton clenched his fist tightly, his muscles and bones crackling, and the next moment he burst into a loud roar.
"I'm a human -"
The sound waves exploded in circles. Fortunately, they were in the alchemy circle and did not spread out, but the ears of Mulan and others were shaken to the point of rumbling.
After a while, Barton calmed down a little, looked at the three people around him, and then focused on Mulan.
"Lord Jones, I have become a human being!"
"congratulations!"
"Congratulations to you too, Barton!"
Mulan and Matt both smiled, and even Alofa couldn't help but feel a little excited. Judging from the perception, it was indeed a success.
"Let us check your physical condition quickly. If there are no problems, the paper signed by us will definitely occupy an important space in the next issue of "Reality and Magic"!"
Matt was so excited that he took out various tools and rushed to the alchemy table.
"Indeed, it will definitely happen, but I would like to have some reservations about the detailed explanation of the materials and spell formations."
"That's for sure! Oh, I forgot to ask, Professor Alofa, do you want to sign it?"
"Uh, me?"
Alofa was stunned for a moment, and his usually cold face suddenly became a little twisted.
"Yeah, okay."
"Then it's settled!"
Matt couldn't wait to stick a needle into Barton's arm, and then found that Barton had broken a little skin and the needle was bent.
Matt looked up at Patton, who looked at the needle.
"It seems that the power you once had has not disappeared, but has become stronger."
After tossing until late at night, all the tests were finally completed. Barton was undoubtedly a real human being, with a complete body and soul, and a considerable degree of talent. He might even have the talent to awaken magic.
However, Barton rejected the suggestion to stay with Matt. He no longer needed the coffin-like sleeping box, and he chose to leave with Mullan.
Ever since the news of Valentine came, Mulan was in a rare better mood. Not only had he completed the agreement by helping Barton transform into a human body, but there was also the reason why Matt wanted to publish an article.
When the fourth issue of "Truth and Magic" is printed, it will definitely arouse a stronger response and cause a sensation in a wider range.
If the significance of the third issue is that quality submissions finally came and allowed the journal to be promoted, then the significance of the fourth issue is even more explosive.
Someone drew on the content of the article in the third issue of "Truth and Magic", applied it to new alchemy, and completed the real human body.
What's this? This is the mutual application and reference after knowledge is shared in the journal, and effective, positive and highly influential results are born. "Truth and Magic" will definitely become famous in a real sense!
Barton followed Mulan home. After entering the door, Mulan, who was lost in inner thoughts, suddenly realized that Barton was already a human being, no longer a person with self and emotions, but with more complex thoughts.
Mulan turned to look at Barton who entered the door.
"Sorry, I just ignored you."
But Barton seemed a little uneasy and seemed to have something on his mind. Mulan looked at him calmly.
"Is there anything you want to tell me? If you don't want to follow me anymore, you can tell me."
Well, I'll try to trick you back, that's what Mulan thought. After all, he needs strength.
But at this time, Barton gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee in front of Mulan.
"Lord Jones, Lord Commander of the Legion, I am willing to follow you forever. I remember all the past as an Avenger. I remember everything I saw around you. I can now understand the goals you and your companions are pursuing. "
"I was born not to be a villain, I want to find the meaning of life, but I have become a real human being, and there is no need to deliberately search for the meaning of my life. As the adults said, my life is ordinary. Given by humans.”
Barton raised his head, looked directly into Mulan's eyes, and slapped his chest hard.
"Lord Jones, I was born as a human being, and I don't want to be a confused sleeper. I want to be a truly awake person!"
"I long to be your partner, long to join the Dawn, I beg, I beg Lord Jonest for permission!"
Barton was clutching his chest tightly. He was so excited and nervous that his fingers were deformed when he pressed them on his chest. This is the meaning of life he pursues. Maybe this is the meaning of his birth, but what if Lord Jonest refuses?
‘Please agree, I can’t find any other meaning! ’
To be honest, Mulan was a little shocked. This was Barton's heartfelt emotion and his only appeal at the moment.
Barton, who was once an Avenger, was very simple and obedient. Sometimes it was inconvenient to bring other helpers, so Mulan would take him with him. However, Mulan thought that although the former Barton had the desire to become an adult, it was obviously difficult to understand "Dawn". "meaning.
But I didn't expect that after the human body was refined, Barton's memories seemed to break out of the cocoon and become butterflies along with the refinement of the human body.
Mulan didn't say whether he gave permission, but bent down, stretched out his hand and briefly moved a few of Barton's fingers.
He clasped his index finger and thumb together, moved the other three fingers slightly and straightened them. Barton watched the whole process blankly until his right hand turned into a gesture.
If someone from Mulan's previous life saw it, they would definitely find that this gesture was like an "OK" gesture clasped on the heart.
"What do you think of this gesture as a unique etiquette of Dawn? Although it is a bit far-fetched, does it look like a symbol of Dawn?"
Mulan squatted down, tried it on his chest himself, and said with a smile.
"Maybe it's a joke on my part, but I hope that thousands of years from now, some people will still remember this gesture. Putting your fingers on your hot heart and using three fingers as the light of hope is called the gift of dawn. What do you think? I Partner?"
Barton's lips wriggled slightly, and he was so moved that he was speechless. For the first time, liquid secreted from his eyes that he had never seen before. He could only nod in response to Mulan's inquiry.
