Chapter 40: Vice-President
"You wrote all this stuff?" He Ke was very shocked and asked Xingyun, He Ke's open mouth could be stuffed into an apple, as if he saw an ant lifting an elephant, against the sky!
After Xingyun stood up, he only nodded slightly when he heard He Ke's questioning, and it was obvious that Xingyun was still a little apprehensive about He Ke's loud voice.
Hock saw Nebula nod and continued to rummage through the table, as if he was sure he could find something else.
One paper ball after another was opened, leaving He Ke in a wave of contemplation.
The first thing He Ke did after recovering from his contemplation was to stare at Nebula with the eyes of a monster, then to look at the crumpled paper in his hand again, and then to look at Nebula in horror after a moment, and then to rummage through the scrap paper on the table again
After He Ke read everything that Xingyun wrote, He Ke's eyes were even more terrifying when he looked at Xingyun, it should be said that he was so terrifying that he was shining.
It's like seeing a panda and a jaguar mixed blood, which researcher is not impressed?
"Hmm~~cough~~" Seeing Xingyun sitting on the chair and looking scared, He Ke knew that he might have scared him, so after coughing twice, He Ke said to Xingyun: "Little friend, what's your name?" Where did you come from? ”
Although He Ke's soft voice was much better than a loud voice or something, it was because of this that Nebula was more vigilant. Can you imagine what it would be like for a snow wolf who had just eaten a person to smile inexplicably at himself, and then lick his hand with his bloodstained tongue?
It's just creepy, and the bones are crispy from head to toe.
Especially after Hoke said the same question as Nashami, Nebula's little heart almost jumped out.
Could it be that this old man also wants to lie to himself?? But there's nothing left to fool you!?
After He Ke saw that Xingyun was more vigilant, he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, but then he cheered up again, after all, his previous attitude towards Xingyun was very unfriendly, if he just said a few words and let Xingyun stick it like kraft candy, how could it be possible? I don't even believe in such a situation.
This kid is definitely a genius, not only in magic, but even more talented in alchemy!!
When He Ke first finished reading what Nebula was writing, he had already discovered that Nebula not only had a rich accumulation of knowledge in alchemy, but also could subtly convert it into formulas.
To convert an alchemy material into a formula, even an ordinary master alchemist can't do it, let alone convert it very meticulously like Nebula, and even surpass himself in some aspects.
After reading all the formulas written by Xingyun, He Ke sighed that the era of young people is coming, and if you just look at the level of analysis, Xingyun is only a star and a half short of itself, and most of the other deficiencies are just insufficient accumulation, and the knowledge is not comprehensive enough.
Seeing a piece of beautiful jade right in front of him, even He Ke, who was alone and alone, moved his mind to accept his apprentice, if Xingyun could learn alchemy for a few more years, maybe he might be able to surpass himself!
He Ke saw that Xingyun was becoming more and more unkind to himself, and at this time he could only use his killer move!
"That's right! Do you know a lad with short blonde hair? He's in his twenties, and the corners of his mouth twitch when he laughs," He Ke said to Xingyun with a smile.
Nebula's eyes lit up after hearing this, and the corners of his mouth were quite pumping, a blonde young man who liked to smoke? Isn't that my brother!!
He Ke knew the bottom of his heart after seeing Nebula's reaction, and He Ke made up a long story after taking out the names of Nebula and Gao Xiu, saying that he and Gao Xiu had known each other for a long time and had always had a relationship.
also said that Gao Xiu asked him to take care of the blue-haired imp, but he forgot about it, and then he was sorry for everything, and he was close to the nebula.
Not to mention, although Nebula was a little excited to hear his brother's news at first, Nebula didn't fully believe He Ke's words. But after He Ke said a few habits of Gao Xiu, Xingyun's suspicions had been completely dispelled.
In order to make Nebula his apprentice, He Ke even gave away some of his important collections.
After that, Nebula and He Ke did not have the initial hostility, not to say that they were happy, but at least they got along with each other.
For the next month and a half, Nebula lived in the Tower of Babel with the old man He Ke, who in addition to teaching Nebula every day, would pull Nebula to watch himself do experiments whenever he had free time.
After a month, Nebula had learned at least half of Ho Ke's housekeeping skills, and if Nebula went to the Alchemist Guild for level certification now, he would undoubtedly be labeled as an alchemist master.
In the process of studying with Hock, Nebula found that he was becoming less and less like himself. Because you can learn everything at once, and you can remember it very well, just like opening a cheat.
It was completely different from when he was learning swordsmanship with Gao Xiu before, and he was as stupid as a pig when he learned swordsmanship with Gao Xiu, and if he didn't practice it many times a day, Xingyun wouldn't have been able to learn it at all.
It's just that Xingyun feels a little strange that when he didn't trigger his ability after reading the first page of He Ke's book, Xingyun was a little unwilling, he seriously saw the tenth page, even if Xingyun remembered all the content of those ten pages, he still couldn't trigger it.
Either your ability doesn't meet the trigger conditions, or your ability disappears, if it's the former, it's fine, if it's the latter, the nebula will probably be sad for a long time.
"Ferrey. Ante! Little bastard!! Do you hear that?? Don't hurry up and call back to Lao Tzu!! He Ke scolded at a crystal ball in his hand.
This pale blue crystal ball is surrounded by large and small inscriptions, and the complexity of the inscriptions is believed to be incomprehensible to ordinary alchemists.
After about three seconds, the head of a person and the background environment were reflected above the crystal ball, the person was dressed in a luxurious black robe, wearing a golden badge on his chest to show his identity, and the dazzling array of magical equipment and magic accessories hanging on the wall behind his back made this person even more extraordinary.
"Master Ante, how much does this Fire Staff cost? Master Ante, what are the characteristics of this black starlight robe? Master Ante, what is the starting price of these Altai earrings that have been strengthened by seven enchantments? Master Ante: "Xingyun and He Ke listened helplessly to the questions and answers of several people opposite, and He Ke, who was waiting, wanted to break the crystal ball several times.
Finally, five minutes later, Master Ante, whom He Ke called the little bastard, finally found time to run to a place similar to an office to talk back to He Ke.
"Vice President He Ke, I'm sorry! I've been so busy just now that I've kept you waiting. Do you have any instructions? Ant's apologetic and smiling at Ho Ke in this empty room seemed to be in awe of Ho Ke.
He Ke was a little angry and yelled at the crystal ball: "What do you mean to be too busy? Are those Fire Staffs and Starlight Robes more important than I am? If you kid don't tell me why, I'm not done with you today!! ”
Ante on the other side didn't dare to have a trace of disrespect at all towards He Ke, who was like a child, and could only make amends. In fact, Ante just didn't want his subordinates to see that he was scolded, Ante knew best about He Ke, the vice president, even if he did well, He Ke would pick a lot of bones in the egg and say a lot of no.
It's better to send his subordinates away first, and then listen to how He Ke scolds, until He Ke is angry.
"Forget it! Lao Tzu doesn't even have time to scold you today, hurry up and ask Du Yi to send me three Granada white roses, as well as two horns of the strange insect Dibo, and then some Daewoo tree sap, the more the better, and finally a few packets of moonflower seeds! Well~~~ That's all! Hurry up and send it here! He Ke said to Ante on the opposite side mercilessly as if he were commanding his subordinates.
And Ante didn't agree immediately as if he had something unspeakable, but looked at He Ke with a bitter face.
He Keke was unhappy: "What kind of face did you want to send something to wrinkle?" Are you upset to see me? ”
Ante hurriedly whispered to comfort He Ke, saying that he didn't mean that. Ante looked around, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping around, he whispered to He Ke: "Vice President He Ke, the president has stopped your material distribution power, and if you don't come back in person, I won't be able to help you get anything." ”
He Ke suddenly jumped to his feet with anger, and this president came like this from time to time to oppose himself. In order to make himself give up the study of Hoke's formula, he returned to the Alchemist Guild District, after all, he had been in the Tower of Babel for nearly thirty years.
The reason why He Ke stayed in the Tower of Babel for nearly thirty years was actually because one day thirty years ago-
When Hock passed by the Tower of Babel, he was intrigued by the moving Philosopher's Stone Ball Golem, so he grabbed an Ice Stone Ball and dissected it for study.
When He Ke saw the inside of the ice stone ball, he was stunned on the spot, he couldn't have imagined that the driving demon beast crystal inside the ice stone ball was the magic crystal, and it was actually a fire attribute! He Ke immediately caught another flint ball, and the magic crystal inside the flint ball was actually inverse.
He Ke originally suspected that this fire attribute magic crystal was first converted into non-attribute magic and then converted into ice attribute magic, but in this way, the magic power of the ice stone ball was twice that of the fire attribute magic released, and He Ke found that the extreme magic power released by the ice and fire stone ball was in line with the reserves of the magic crystal.
In other words, the Ice and Fire Stone Ball can perfectly use the magic crystal of the ice and fire attribute to release the magic of the anti-attribute element, and there is no excess consumption in it.
This was completely contrary to the theorem in He Ke's heart at that time, and even He Ke once wondered if he was crazy.
But when Hok met the alchemist Xiuzi, who was also troubled by the Ice and Fire Ball at the Tower of Babel, the two strengthened their convictions, and the two even bet on who would be able to study the mystery of the reverse attribute magic first, as for what the bet was
He Ke has long forgotten about it for so long, and I believe Xiuzi shouldn't remember it clearly, at most he vaguely remembers that there was such a thing as a bet.
The reason why He Ke lives in the Tower of Babel is only because He Ke inadvertently discovered the stone chamber on the tenth floor, if it is precise, it should be considered to be inspired by Xiuzi and found it.
Xiuzi lives in a stone chamber on the second basement floor of the Tower of Babel, and if you want to enter the basement level from the first floor of the Tower, the inscription level must be at least at a high level to see the hidden door set up by Xiuzi, which is just to isolate some low-strength characters. Because from the second basement floor of the Tower of Babel is the world of water, the entire second underground floor of the Tower of Babel is flooded by seawater, and the monsters in the sea are much more ferocious than those on land.
If you don't have any special magic items, it's a joke to walk underwater surrounded by magical beasts!
He Ke wouldn't have left Babel anyway, at least until he unlocked Ho Ke's formula.
He Ke is a little difficult to do, without the materials provided by the guild, his own research will stagnate, the reason why the research will drag on for thirty years, in fact, there is also the president's troubles in it.
After thinking about it carefully, He Ke said to Ante, "Little bastard! As before, you help me pay first, and I will ask my apprentice to send you a few things. ”
Ante on the other side of the crystal ball was ecstatic, he had not made such a transaction with He Ke once or twice, in fact, such a transaction was also tacitly approved by the guild leader, and even the guild leader stopped He Ke's material supply every once in a while just so that he could get a few grandmaster-level magic props from He Ke's hands.
Otherwise, how could a huge guild be able to provide one person for research without restrictions, and He Ke could guess some, but for He Ke, as long as there were materials, what about giving one or two test samples?
