Chapter 790 Prologue Gate
Hill walked through the deep corridor and crossed the layers of arches. As the bright light gradually sprinkled from the top of his head, the darkness and coldness around him dissipated.
Looking up, Hill is now in a huge atrium, which is a typical highly symmetrical courtyard surrounded by four corridors, each of which supports high vaults and prominent balconies.
The style of the building exhibits its characteristic elongated, curved, and ornamented features, and the cloister is covered with rows of raised arched supports, forming an intertwined arcade, with a long row of windows below, covered with It is full of iron flowers, glass and decorations, showing a very unique artistic style.
More footsteps came from all directions, and many apprentices like Hill were stepping into the atrium. Under the special structure of the corridor, it was gradually amplified and echoed repeatedly.
Many young apprentices will stop in the corner, because of the complex structure of the building, they are always unfamiliar with this place.It was the same with Hill at first, setting off well early each day so he wouldn't get lost.
Hill continued to move forward. Here, besides the figures of the scholars, there were also many workers busy. They were changing the building according to the blueprints given by the scholars.
No one knows what kind of building the Grand Master will create. Since Hill became his apprentice a few years ago and came to this building, this building has been under constant construction. As it expands, complex corridors are interspersed together, densely packed houses are arranged in invisible places.
Waking up every day, this building will change to a certain extent. Sometimes, Hill even feels that this building is alive and some kind of weird alchemical creation.
Hmm... This does sound weird, but with the ability of the Grand Master, it is not impossible.
Hill still remembered that the Great Mentor said that no matter how much he optimized the structure of the building, it was bound by space after all. He planned to add many winding doors to the building in the coming days. A building will completely become a living maze.
This is not the end, according to the Grand Master's thoughts, this building will continue to expand until it becomes a great city-state that accommodates all scholars.
It sounds crazy, but Hill is used to it.
after all……
Hill passed through the last gate, and the bright gold came into his eyes. He seemed to have stepped into a world made of gold, and his eyes were full of golden light.
After a short period of dizziness, Hill's vision gradually became clearer. Apprentices often refer to this place as the Golden Palace, but in fact it is not entirely made of gold, but is covered with layers of shining gold. The alchemy matrix, when the whole building is running, the bright golden light seems to be burning.
The light in the Golden Palace dimmed. Books, manuscripts, and experimental equipment were everywhere in the hall. A group of scholars were busy working. Some were looking through manuscripts, some were pointing students, and others were conducting experiments.
The air is filled with the smell of various chemicals. Beside the long table, several scholars are manipulating strangely colored gases and igniting them with burners to explore the composition and properties of the gases.
On another table, a scholar is conducting dissection experiments, carefully taking out organs for observation and research, while a student next to him is carefully recording the results of the experiments, mastering how to apply this knowledge to the fields of medicine and biology.
Maps and charts hung on the walls provided scholars with a first glimpse into modern disciplines, including astronomy, mathematics, and anthropology.Each discipline studied symbolizes the boundaries and realms of knowledge, encouraging scholars to be aware of the importance and complexity of the fields they investigate.
Hill continued to move forward, passed through layers of strict inspections, turned into a deep spiral corridor, and reached the deep underground of the Golden Palace. In a faint blue light, he saw his great teacher.
"Great mentor."
Hill saluted the busy figure, but the other party didn't respond, as if he was obsessed with his own research, and Hill was used to this, so he went directly to his place and continued his previous research.
A few minutes later, two figures entered the room one after the other. They were also apprentices of the Grand Master and friends of Hill.
"It's so early, Hill."
The man came to Hill and patted him on the shoulder, with a bright smile on his slightly dark face, "Why, didn't you get lost this time?"
Hill stopped what he was busy with, and a helpless emotion appeared on his face.
At this time, another figure also came over, pinching Hill's cheeks from behind with soft hands, swinging up and down, making strange faces.
Amid bursts of laughter, Hill raised his head and saw a pair of beautiful pupils looking down at him from top to bottom.
Hill's mind paused for a moment, and then he broke free from the woman's shackles, and his expression became the previous helplessness and indifference again.
"I really envy you two..." Hill turned sideways and looked back at his two friends, "It's really inseparable."
"It's because you are too withdrawn, Junior Brother." Susie raised her hand and ruffled Hill's hair.
Saqin on the side looked at his younger brother with a smile. Everyone liked Hill very much. From the first day the master brought him back, he showed a very powerful talent. The master even said that Hill His achievements may surpass everyone...including himself.
Hill seldom cared about other people's admiration for him. More often, he just liked to stay in a corner alone, studying what he liked.
He is indeed a withdrawn guy, he hardly has any friends, except Susie and Saqin... These two people are unexpectedly familiar, no matter how much Hill expresses resistance, they ignore him.
Hill sighed, like a desensitization reaction, he felt that he was used to it, and then he asked.
"So when are you two going to get married? Are you going to continue to delay?"
At the moment of threatening, Saqin and Susie froze in place, their smiles froze, with an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.
This time, Hill changed into a complacent look, and he understood the thoughts of these two people too well.
Susie blushed directly, while Saqin hesitated. He wanted to say something to explain, but his words came to his throat, and his sentences became stuttering.
Just when the atmosphere was about to explode in embarrassment, the busy teacher finally spoke.
He stopped his work, turned around, and asked the three of them, "Has there been any progress in the research?"
The Great Mentor is a workaholic, and he rarely cares about anything other than work.
"Yes, yes."
Sa Qin said again and again, the whole person was relieved, and Susie nodded again and again, picked up the prepared documents, and made a thick stack.
The corner of Hill's mouth slightly raised, and he also stood up. This research material was jointly completed by the three of them. Of course, the main research was led by Hill.
The genius Hill, the next great mentor, scholars always use such words to praise Hill.
In this golden palace, the great teacher is the supreme scholar. As his apprentices, the three of them have long been able to assume the position of tutors, but they are still practicing as apprentices.
"The research project this time is a bit too scattered, so the results we got are also a bit loose," Hill reported to the great mentor, "but I think that as long as we continue to study, all these information can be connected together, revealing the truth."
The Great Mentor nodded and signaled Hill to continue.
"First of all, the research on the impregnation of matter with ether..."
When mentioning these, Hill felt his breathing became short of breath.
The research in the Golden Palace is absolutely confidential, and every piece of knowledge researched here is enough to subvert scholars' understanding of the world.
For example, what Hill is going to say next.
"After exploring and digging deep underground, after months of drilling, we drilled through the crust and took out many samples of solid and molten materials from there."
It was a big project. With the support of the ether and the alchemy matrix, the well was drilled day and night, constantly digging deep into the center of the earth.
"From these samples, we extracted a substance that was not impregnated with ether, which verified our idea that ether is foreign energy, and it also broke the cornerstone of our knowledge based on ether."
Hill's expression became serious, and his eyes swept over Suzy and Saqin, "After the decision of the three of us, we call this substance the original thing."
"Original thing?" The Great Teacher nodded slightly, "Not a bad name."
He flipped through the document and read the text on it. If other scholars read the content, the cognition of the scholars will be subverted, and they may fall into complete madness.
"Your guess is correct. According to the samples we collected during the excavation, the material excavated at the beginning still contained the soul of cold iron, but as the excavation deepened, the content of the soul of cold iron in the material became Fewer and fewer, and even completely lost the existence of the soul."
Hill continued, "But it didn't annihilate into a pile of ashes after losing its soul according to the rules we know. It still maintained its physical form."
Suzie said, "Souls are not necessary for matter...at least not for primordial things."
The Grand Master said, "Go on."
Saqin opened the mouth and said, "According to your speculation, teacher, the ether descended on this world in a certain period of time in the past. We suspect that after it descended, it gradually permeated all the substances in the outside world, and gradually moved towards the center of the earth. Proceeding from the depths, from the content of the soul of cold iron in the sample, we can see the process of ether infiltration, and even according to the speed of ether infiltration, we can deduce when it came to this world."
The great teacher pondered.
Hill flipped through the document, and he continued, "Ether affects the entire world from the outside, and as the concentration of ether gradually increases, it will completely infuse the entire world bit by bit. I don't know yet, what will happen then? , but based on the available information..."
Hill paused, becoming hesitant.
"Don't hide it, just say what you have to say, Hill," said the great mentor, "What we are studying is forbidden knowledge. In the past, we would have been put on the stake."
Hearing what the Great Mentor said, Hill smiled wryly. The knowledge they researched was simply blasphemy to outside scholars, and every line of text could easily penetrate their cognition of the Transcendent System .
"Obviously, from the research on the original thing, it can be found that matter does not have a soul. The so-called soul is just a derivative born after the reaction between ether and matter."
Hill said, "The original thing can actually be regarded as a kind of..."
He paused and used a new vocabulary to describe it.
"Soulless matter."
"The world made of soulless matter is the original face of this world. If the ether is regarded as an intruder, then the world today is completely different.
Maybe pure human beings also become less pure under the influence. "
Is the soul really innate to human beings?
Hearing what Hill said, the Grand Master frowned and pinched his forehead vigorously.
Hill's meaning is very clear, even if human beings don't need a soul, they can live without becoming a demon or some kind of twisted monster.
Perhaps the original real human beings do not have souls.
These simple words directly penetrate the law of body, mind, and the Trinity.
The Great Teacher murmured, "Then what is the connection between the soul, the secret source, and the devil?"
No one responded, and after a dead silence, Hill went on to talk about his speculation.
"I don't know the connection between the soul and them, but what is certain is that the ether, the devil, and the secret source must have a close connection. Maybe they came to this world together."
Hill said, "The secret source remains silent, has not been able to detect it, and has not responded, but the devil is different. They must know something."
Saqin's expression became serious, and anger flashed in his eyes, "Do you want to make deals with the devil?"
"I just regard them as a tool, a tool to achieve a goal." Hill's words were extraordinarily cold.
"Hill!"
Saqin's voice rose, and for Saqin, this was the bottom line that could not be crossed.
"Saqin, calm down." The great teacher said.
Saqin fell silent. He took deep breaths repeatedly to adjust his emotions, "Sorry, I'm still a little too impulsive."
"It's nothing, it shows that you have enough vigilance against the devil."
The Great Instructor continued, "But I still hope that you will be more sensible. I don't want my name to be inherited by an irritable guy."
Saqin smiled helplessly, "Teacher, we all know that Hill will inherit your name in the end."
It was an ancient tradition among scholars that the apprentice would bear the teacher's name and act in his name, like immortality in another sense.
The Grand Master inherited the name from his teacher, and shortly thereafter, the name would be passed on to the next Grand Master.
"Are you jealous of him?"
"No, we just have a clear understanding of our own abilities." Saqin put his arm around Hill's shoulders, "I also thought that I was a genius until I met Hill...I won't be jealous He, on the contrary, if I get your holy name, I will feel more pain, I know I don't have that qualification."
Saqin smiled, but his eyes were still wary, "Tell me about your plan, Hill."
Hill nodded solemnly, glanced at the pupils of several people, and said nervously.
"Devils need value. As long as they have enough value, they are willing to do anything for you. So the question is, what kind of things can completely command the devil?"
Hill asked himself the question.
"A unique existence."
The Great Teacher seemed to have guessed what Hill wanted to do, and he said softly, "A pure human being without a soul."
This is most likely what human nature looks like.
Hill said in a low voice, "Soulless."
"How do you create it?"
Hill paused and shook his head, "Sorry, this is just a guess, I can't do it."
"Ether has been infiltrating the human world for thousands of years. Absolutely pure human beings no longer exist in this world. Even if a pure land is isolated by using ether vacuum and other methods to reproduce, the mother body for reproduction will still have certain The ether has a soul, as long as there is the slightest disturbance, no soulless person can be born."
"Unless they have the help of the devil, they are always omnipotent." Susie whispered.
"Then what are you going to do after you create the soulless?" The great teacher asked back, "What are you going to trade with the devil with the soulless?"
"Knowledge, more knowledge."
"What kind of knowledge?"
"The knowledge that could end it all."
The Grand Teacher was silent for a moment, then asked a little puzzled, "Do you want to seek the power to destroy them from the devil's hands?"
Hill responded briefly, "The only thing that can kill a monster is another monster."
This time the Grand Master was silent for a longer time, and he suddenly walked towards Hill, putting his hand on Hill's shoulder.
"You may indeed inherit my name," said the Grand Master. "Wolfgang Gord, this is a sacred name."
"I know the story behind the name," Hill said respectfully, "according to the legend of the scholars, he was the first person to make a deal with the devil, but he made a wish not for himself, but for all mankind .”
Susie whispered about the continuation of the story, "Wolfgang God gave his soul, gained the power against the devil from the hands of the devil, and gave this power to the people-this is regarded as The origin of the alchemy matrix."
"Thank you, teacher."
Hill thanked the Grand Master for his praise, carefully observed the Grand Master's face, and remembered that when he first saw the Grand Master, he was still a young man wielding a thunderbolt, but now he has become very old, and he He has also changed from a child back then to what he looks like.
The great teacher, or rather, Wolfgang Gold, he just looked into Hill's eyes with a smile, and in those indifferent eyes, he could see nothing but the abyss-like darkness, just as Hill heart.
"Soulless? That sounds really good, Hill."
An eerie voice sounded in the Golden Palace. For an instant, everything froze, and everyone's expressions froze into a frozen picture. The man holding the cane was sitting upright at the position where the Great Teacher was just now. Look at Hill.
"In exchange for knowledge against us... just the soulless may not be enough."
Hill is used to this devil's haunting, he said, "Of course I know that there are not enough soulless people, not to mention that this thing is impossible to be born at all."
He didn't lie. With the existing knowledge system, Hill didn't know how to create a life out of the mother's body.
Pure humans are extinct.
"Well, I smell something interesting."
The devil suddenly disintegrated into black smoke, and he gathered behind Saqin, the two of them were close together, after sniffing vigorously, the man smiled and said, "I smell jealousy on him, he is jealous of you. "
"It has nothing to do with me." Hill didn't care.
The man looked at Saqin playfully, as if he was planning something in his heart, and then he walked towards Hill, but when he was about to approach Hill, Hill suddenly spoke.
"The ether must have come through some channel, such as a 'door'."
Hill analyzed that he should have said these words to the Grand Master, but he pretended not to know anything.
"The world is like a pasture, and human beings are lambs living in the pasture. You need our fur, but these fur need to be processed by ether..."
The man stopped where he was and listened to Hill's words.
"Since the door can be opened in this world, it must also be able to open in other worlds. Maybe in your long life, you have colonized countless worlds like this."
The man became serious, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say... Leviathan, do you want to get a new pasture?"
Hill asked as if he had seen through everything.
"Compared to the soulless, discovering another world and opening a new door, is this enough to satisfy your desire?"
Leviathan froze in place. He reacted for dozens of seconds before his expression changed. Leviathan was a little flustered. He never thought that Hill could vaguely guess the truth from this few words, and at the same time He became extremely excited again.
A new pasture, a herd of lambs ready to slaughter, nothing could be more enticing.
Leviathan leaned on his cane with both hands and narrowed his eyes.
"what do you want?"
