Chapter 8 The Peak of Alchemy (4)

"My doubt?" Ella looked the girl up and down, "... who are you?"

"The 'grey wolf' you just mentioned refers to stibnite. Stibnite is considered to be related to lead. Pliny, the naturalist of the Seven Hills Empire, once recorded in his "Natural History" that stibnite is very

Easily converted into lead; Stibnite is written as 'spiessglanz' in the text of the Alemannic Federation, which means the luster of weapons, so its name is 'affiliated with the warlike Ares'; Molten Stibnite

It can instantly dissolve gold nuggets, impurities float on the surface, and the gold will turn into a white alloy and sink to the bottom. In this way, the 'grey wolf' swallows the 'king'; and when this white alloy is baked, the gold will reappear.

, the 'King' was redeemed and turned into pure gold."

The girl was talking to herself in front of Ella. Amy was confused, and Ella gradually opened her mouth in shock: "You are right. After trying many possible substances, I found this'

The gray wolf refers to stibnite. Are you a student at the school? I am preparing to enter school. What do you mean that there is no answer here that I am looking for? "

The girl cleared her throat and was about to answer when a shout suddenly came from the corridor: "Everyone, come out quickly! That damn Avicenna is coming to school again!"

As soon as the shouts ended, the whole building exploded. Panic footsteps sounded from every room, the alchemy laboratory doors were opened one by one, and various strange smoke floated from each room to the corridor, filling the corridor with

There was a strange smell. The unkempt alchemists rushed out of the room and ran towards the door. Someone turned around and saw the girl wrapped in white cloth, ran over and grabbed her, shouting: "What are you doing here?"

You are not a student of the school! Go mop the floor quickly!"

"Not a student?" Ella was stunned for a moment, and stopped the man to ask what happened. But the man shouted anxiously towards Ella: "There is no time, didn't you hear? Avicenna is here.

!Quickly put out the fire in the boiler and stop him at the gate!"

The entire building soon emptied out, leaving only the dark smoke gathering on the roof.

"Avicenna?" Ella stood in the house and said to herself, "Is it that Avicenna? He is in the island republic now?"

Poor Amy experienced too many incomprehensible things in just a few minutes, and her mind turned into a blur: "Your Majesty, what kind of Avicenna do you know? Everyone is so panicked, what kind of fire-breathing thing is that?"

A monster? Oh no, I can also breathe fire... I have never heard of such a thing. The guards should be resting in the woods behind the building now. Should I take them to the school gate to intercept it? "

"Avicenna is a personal name... When I was a child, my father was seriously ill, and all the doctors in the Seven Hills Empire were helpless. Finally, a young man named Avicenna came to cure him. That year he

Only nineteen years old. That Avicenna should be a quite famous miracle doctor now, but I don’t know if the Avicenna they talk about is the same person... Forget it, this is an internal matter of the Alchemy University.

, we don’t care about it.”

Ella shook her head and then rolled up her sleeves.

"What we have to do now is to pass the entrance test! I have many questions that I need teachers from Alchemy University to help me answer - Amy, the fire hasn't been lit yet?"

While Ella was concentrating on taking the entrance test, Lazi's group, who had just held an open-air lecture by the pool at the school gate, were confronting Avicenna. Lazi's group of more than 20 people, all wearing black robes and hanging gold badges.

In comparison, there were only three people in Avicenna's group. Avicenna had a square face, with a big beard covering his entire chin and cheeks. His head was wrapped in a white turban, and his hands were

He was holding a thick book, and he looked like a very wise scholar. The two people following Avicenna were short and fat, and the other was tall and thin. They were dressed like businessmen, and their status in the island republic was not high.

Low.

Although Lazi and his group had an absolute advantage in numbers, and teachers and students kept coming from the school building to support them, they were obviously inferior to Avicenna in terms of momentum.

"Lazi, I'm calling you, raise your head quickly. Lacy, you are a committee member of this school and one of the most famous alchemists of this era. What does it mean to lower your head like this? Weren't you here just now?

There is a lecture here, is it eloquent?" Avicenna said with a mocking tone, "Come, the students are here, tell them quickly, what did you just say?"

"Based on the newly discovered fragments of Jabir, I successfully separated the four properties of cold, hot, dry, and wet..."

"Oh, it is really a great achievement to separate the properties that are more basic than the four elements. Your achievements surpass Jabir Ibn Hayan, surpass Zosimos, and even say that

It is not an exaggeration to surpass Aristotle. After I return, I will report it to the Governor of the Island Republic and ask him to name you Para Aristotle - I just hope that this time you can go smoothly in front of the Governor.

Show your experiment and don't have any accidents like last time."

Avicenna said sarcastically.

"But, Lacy, this is only part of your lecture. What else did you say just now? Why hide the knowledge? Come on, repeat it to the students and teachers behind you who are eager for knowledge. They will definitely

I'm shocked by your intelligence!"

"Each metal is a combination of four properties in precise mathematical proportions, as your medicine calls the four humors that maintain the health of the body. Gold is a healthy metal, with four properties in perfect proportions. While others

Metals are sick and need to be cured by adjusting body fluids. Therefore, as long as the gold is dissected through dissolution, volatilization, etc., the correct ratio of the four properties in gold is analyzed, and then the four properties of the elements I separated can be correctly

Gently adjust the proportions of the four properties in base metals, turning them into gold..."

Avicenna burst out laughing: "Did you just hear that? He said 'volatile gold'! What kind of alchemical joke is this? As a doctor, I know that gold is the most perfect and stable metal. Who can volatilize gold?"

?Can you? Can you? Can you?"

Avicenna pointed at the alchemists in front of him one by one. The people he pointed at all pretended not to see them and turned their heads away. Avicenna pointed everyone aside, and finally returned to

Lacy: "Lazi, they don't seem to know how to do it. But since you proposed this plan, I think you must already have a plan to make the gold volatilize, right?"

Lacy gritted her teeth and whispered: "This kind of thing needs further research..."

"Oh! Further research! That's a perfect answer. But the Governor is tired of hearing it."

Avicenna pointed at himself and then at the two people behind him.

"I and the other two members of the committee have reached an agreement, with a majority of three votes, to decide to re-examine the qualifications of the instructors of Alchemy University today."
