Chapter 191 The Four Elements and the Fifth Element
Perhaps because of the unusual temperament found in this unattractive old cowboy, or perhaps because of the majesty of the Word Spirit and Commandment holder, the excited students sitting in the seats fell into rare silence.
"Alchemy has never disappeared with the origin of modern chemistry, it has just been hidden in the world of hybrids, the world of dragons."
In the silence, only Flamel's voice came through clearly.
"Indeed, as the Russian chemist Mendeleev wrote,
The elements that make up matter can be subdivided into more than 100 types. For example, water is not an element, but a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Another example is the discovery of protons, neutrons and smaller quark particles. The four-element theory is outdated.
Become the fuel for the progress of the times."
At this point, the old cowboy calmly took out a bottle of whiskey in a silver can from the lining of his vest.
I drank a lot of it for myself.
"but,
"
The old man's blue eyes swept across the crowd with sharp dagger-like glances. The students were horrified to realize that although his figure had been out of shape due to eating high-calorie and high-sugar foods, his face that had gone through the vicissitudes of time was still strong, deep and three-dimensional.
He has a sense of beauty, with wheat-colored skin paired with a ring of livid gray stubble, giving him a unique look of a mature man.
"I want to ask you a question, when you release the spirit field, what are the elements that you feel surging around you?"
The old cowboy's words made the students stunned on the spot. When they used the spirit of speech to modify the rules of the world in the field, they would not think of hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon.
"Chu Zihang."
While the young people were thinking silently, Flamel called out a name again, this time without looking at the list.
The boy with black hair and bangs hanging down like swords and a stern expression stood up in response.
"Are you willing to share your experience when releasing the spirit of speech?"
Flamel looked at the cold boy in front of him and said with a smile.
According to Schneider's temperament, Chu Zihang's possession of the high-risk speech spirit Jun Yan should have been recorded in the files and should not be revealed in front of others unless absolutely necessary.
But Angers flatly rejected his proposal, saying: "A powerful and fierce sword should be locked in a sword case when not in use.
So as not to hurt others or yourself. But if this sword has a better opponent, then it should be taken out and tempered properly to prevent the sword from getting rusty."
It can be said that the appearance of Li Longyuan greatly reduced Kassel College's risk assessment of Chu Zihang, and also made the execution department willing to give Chu Zihang greater tolerance during the mission.
Because it will not be the only and sharpest dagger in the college, the school directors will not worry about the dagger being too sharp and cutting themselves.
"In the field of Fire, Word Spirit and Jun Yan, huge amounts of heat will be quickly released in a small space, and the surrounding air will expand rapidly due to the high temperature, creating an explosion-like effect."
Chu Zihang tried his best to use the simplest language to describe it. When he released his speech spirit, there seemed to be endless flames burning in his golden pupils.
The old cowboy nodded and said to the many students after Chu Zihang sat down.
"Junyan is one of the powers of the King of Bronze and Fire, and it is also its commonly used spirit. It is not produced by a chemical oxidation reaction, but only forms a pure flame in the field. This is the most important aspect of the four-element theory and modern chemistry.
Essential difference."
Flamel's explanation made the students hang their heads and think, as if in the field of words and spirits, some scientific theories common in the modern world do not hold true.
"Truth is always relative. I appreciate Mendeleev's periodic table of elements, but it does not apply to hybrids."
The old man wearing a cowboy hat glanced at every young and immature face with his penetrating eyes.
"For alchemy and hybrids, you need to remember the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water.
Because they simultaneously represent the four great monarchs of the Dragon Clan. To a certain extent, the four great monarchs are also the source of spiritual power for us hybrids."
The students who began to listen to the lecture seriously were shocked, and finally connected the theory of the four elements with the Dragon King.
"In fact, in addition to the four basic elements that make up the world, alchemists believe that there is a fifth element, quinta
Essentia is an element formed by the interaction between the soul spirit and the four elements. Currently, the Philosopher's Stone, which is jointly produced by the College's Equipment Department and the Scientific Research Institute and is extremely harmful to dragons, is based on this fifth element."
After Li Yongyuan entered the school, Kassel's policy on training students began to change. They no longer maintained the moderation of the college, but preferred to build a military fortress to inspire students to have the courage and bloodshed to slay dragons.
This is one of the reasons why Flamel is willing to tell students about the direction of making Philosopher's Stone bullets.
"Does any of you know who this fifth element was born from?"
After introducing the so-called spiritual elements, the old cowboy asked again with a smirk on his face.
"White King."
The moment he finished speaking, the blond man in a white suit with gold trim stood up.
"It is recorded in the Ice Sea Fragments that it was the Black King Nidhogg who created the White King. She was one of the two emperors who truly ruled the world. She was the controller of the spiritual elements. She once dyed the silver throne red with the blood of the untouchables."
"Her status is higher than the four great monarchs, and the fifth element is far more sacred and mysterious than earth, fire, and geomantic omen."
Caesar introduced, his blue eyes expressionless.
Although he spoke calmly, all the students in the classroom fell silent, as if just a name had the power to suppress and intimidate the mind.
"Fortunately, you didn't describe the White King in a praising, almost fanatical tone."
Flamel made a joke that was not a joke.
People at Kassel Academy have a natural awe for dragons, because they are indeed perfect sculptures in the hands of the Creator.
It must be awe-inspiring, but hybrids are the absolute mortal enemies of dragons. If one surrenders to the dragon's bloodline and bows before the majesty of the king, then it will be the beginning of becoming a Deadpool.
Kassel College once produced such a student. His main majors were dragon genealogy and dragon chronicles. He continued to excavate information about the ancient dragon civilization and the four monarchs hidden in history through archaeology.
During the long-term research and investigation, he was gradually impressed by the magnificent and vast historical civilization of dragons. He gradually lost touch with human nature and became closer to dragons in his heart. He even unconsciously used """ when addressing the four great monarchs and princes of all dynasties.
He was given the title of honor, and finally betrayed the academy with quite a lot of information, and his whereabouts are unknown.
This sounds incredible, but the facts are before our eyes. For example, Ye Sheng saw the giant tree with fine patterns entwined with dragon characters in the Bronze Palace. If he was stuck in such words for a long time, his mind would be involuntarily affected, and finally his temper would be affected.
Big changes.
"Studying opponents is to better deal with them. There is a Chinese idiom called Pao Ding Jie Niu. I hope that one day I can be very skilled in it."
Caesar shrugged. He was not one to worship a bearded vertebrate.
