Marina knew that her teacher, Akkad, came from the wizard's holy land, the wizard tower. However, she had never heard Akkad talk about where the wizard tower was, what it looked like, and what kind of people lived in the tower.
Other than herself and a few of her teacher's students, Marina had never seen any other wizards. For Marina, her teacher, Akkad, was the most powerful and knowledgeable person in the world. Marina had never thought that her teacher had a mentor.
My teacher is over a hundred years old, right? He's even older than my grandfather's grandfather! When he told me, I couldn't believe it. So, how old is my teacher's teacher?
"But he looks younger than me. Is this what a powerful wizard looks like? Has it become an immortal existence? "
Has he lived for a few hundred years?
Marina tried to guess Lu Zhiyu's age with the curiosity of a young girl. She slowly walked to the dock. Marina was wearing an orange dress, which was very eye-catching. Her white wrist was wearing a leather wristband, which was extremely rare in Tut City.
"Hi, Miss Marina!"
"Are you here to buy something again?"
"I have a few nice gadgets here. Would you like to take a look?"
"I have some books from the west. Would you like to take a look?"
Marina was very popular among the merchants on the dock. Some of the vendors, the owners of the merchant teams, and the sailors on the ships anchored at the dock all greeted the beautiful and generous Marina. Apart from the fact that this cute girl was very popular, everyone in Tut City knew that alchemy warlocks were wealthy.
Marina was a student of the great alchemy warlock Akkad. She was very generous, so she was welcomed by many vendors on the dock. Some long-distance fleets and merchants in the city often brought back some gadgets that Marina liked from afar in order to maintain a good relationship with Akkad's alchemy workshop.
"Miss Marina, you are here. I was just about to look for you. I caught a rare gadget on the sea. Would you like to come up and take a look?"
A ship that had just docked at the pier was paying taxes to the tax officer and checking the cargo. The ship was a little old, and the sailors on it were very busy. On the bow of the ship, an old man was waving his arms and shouting at Marina. His face was full of eagerness.
"Father Ganster, you're not going to use the Orc Empire's Sofawk Slate again, saying that it's some kind of treasure from the ancient human civilization, are you?" However, Marina crossed her arms in front of her chest and sized him up. She looked at the old man with a suspicious expression.
The old man immediately felt awkward and quickly waved his hand. "There's really something good this time. You'll know once you come up and take a look."
Marina boarded the ship and immediately saw Ganster wave his hand. Two sailors carried a large wooden barrel and placed it in front of Marina. Marina frowned, "What is this? Alive? "
The old man smiled mysteriously, then opened the lid of the wooden barrel. Marina looked inside and saw a jet of water spurting out from the barrel, spraying Marina's face.
Marina screamed on the spot. After wiping her face dry, she saw a little fellow inside the log staring blankly at the outside world. His eyes were extremely lively, his blue hair was like the sea, and there were two blue lines on his cheeks.
However, this wasn't the most eye-catching thing. What was amazing was that her lower body had a slender fishtail. This was a mermaid. She looked no more than a few dozen centimeters long, just like a human child.
"Oh my god! What is this? "
This was a creature that humans had never seen before. She had the same upper body as a human, but the lower body of a fish. Her beautiful blue eyes and hair instantly attracted Marina's attention.
Ganster said to Marina, "We found her when we were sailing at sea. What do you think, Marina? Do you like her?"
Marina grabbed the hem of her dress and looked very excited. She looked at this sly old man and pouted. "Alright, how much do you want?"
Ganster waved his hand and said, "I don't want money. If you like her, I can give her to you directly."
Marina covered her mouth. She knew this old man's personality very well. Over the past few years, she had been cheated by this man who looked kind but was actually evil. This human-like creature that looked different could definitely be sold for a high price in Tut City. Marina immediately raised her guard when she saw that this old man was being so generous.
"What is it?"
Looking at Marina's suspicious face, Garnister immediately said, "A few days ago, my grandson passed the exam of Akkad Alchemy Warlock College. He will be able to go to school soon. I want you to take care of him."
"Of course, as long as he doesn't get bullied. My grandson is a little introverted and timid. I used to worry about his future. After all, being a merchant on the sea is a dangerous and tiring job. His health wasn't good, and his father died when he was young. Now that he has passed the exam …"
The old man kept talking, and his proud tone calmed Marina down. She immediately patted the old man's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of him. We are all acquaintances, so I will definitely take care of him."
Marina carried the bucket and climbed up the round tower. The bucket was very big and very heavy, but it was nothing to Marina. Although she was still a wizard apprentice, she still learned the basic body transformation technique. This was a very mature witchcraft that had a lot of branches, from bloodline witchcraft to the cultivation of magical beasts, to body transformation, bloodline awakening, and so on. During the apprenticeship period, there was a certain pattern to what kind of bloodline to awaken and match.
Marina carried the bucket with both hands and carefully walked through the door of Akkad's office on the fourth floor. If she went up further, it would be the library, the laboratory, and the rooms of the students and assistants.
However, as soon as Marina reached the door, she was stopped by a voice from inside the room. "Is that Marina? Come in and close the door. "
Marina's body stiffened, as if she had been caught by her teacher or parents. When she looked inside, she found that Akkad and Lu Zhiyu were both there. They seemed to be doing some experiments and discussing something. They didn't notice her, so she let out a deep sigh of relief.
Marina pushed the bucket aside with her foot, then put her hands behind her back, closed the door, and carefully walked in. "Teacher, Mr. Anthony, what can I do for you?"
"Come and see this."
As Marina approached, she saw a palm-sized metal robot standing on the table. When it saw Marina looking over, it immediately bowed and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Marina."
Marina's mouth opened wide. She felt that she had seen too many strange things today, but she immediately realized that this was the highest secret of alchemy that Akkad had mentioned to the students, the alchemy life.
"This? Is this an alchemy life? "
Marina looked at the metal robot in shock. It was walking and talking on the table. This kind of technology was unimaginable to Marina and even Akkad. Akkad had seen the birth of Eva, so he was relatively calm, but Marina couldn't stay calm.
Marina thought that this was just an existence that alchemy warlocks had imagined, but she didn't expect that alchemy life really existed. This was taboo knowledge that touched the mystery of the Creator. Looking at this little robot, Marina even felt a little scared for a moment.
"Can even life be manufactured and created?" Marina asked.
Lu Zhiyu glanced at Marina, then looked at Akkad and asked, "Do you rarely talk about wizards to your student?"
Akkad nodded and said to Marina, "The creation or transformation of life is not difficult for wizards. Even some newly born magical beasts were created by wizards. Wizards have been involved in the field of life for a long time. In the early days, Leves pioneered the experiment and creation of chimeras. Later, Adenos was even able to create undead creatures."
Lu Zhiyu then said to Marina, "I didn't tell you this because I didn't think it was the right way to go. The thing in front of you is tens of thousands of times more profound than the field of life. It is the highest secret of alchemy, the alchemy life. It is not a simple transformation of life, but a real metal life that is created out of thin air. It is far more difficult than the birth of ordinary life."
Lu Zhiyu then said to Marina, "This is just an alchemy life, not an intelligent alchemy life. It only operates according to the program I set, so it is still full of flaws."
Akkad immediately thought of Eva, and his face was full of longing. "Teacher, you have already created a perfect alchemy life."
Lu Zhiyu sighed. "That is not replicable. It was just luck."
Marina asked, "Is there any difference?"
Lu Zhiyu said seriously, "There is a big difference. It is like the difference between a wizard and an ordinary person. From the outside, it looks the same, but on the inside, it is completely different."
Lu Zhiyu stood up and said to Akkad, "Akkad, see you next time!"
Akkad smiled bitterly. "I hope there will be a next time."
"This little thing is for you."
Lu Zhiyu grabbed the mechanical doll and gave it to Marina. The creation of a metal life was not only about metal cells, but also about the design and modification of the life template. Apart from Lu Zhiyu, no one else could do it. So, Lu Zhiyu only showed it to Akkad at his wish. Even alchemy warlocks, without reaching level seven or eight, could not be involved in the creation of alchemy life.
Lu Zhiyu had only thought of it casually. After all, this humanoid machine that he had casually made was of no use to him. But for Marina, it was like a pie falling from the sky. She held the humanoid machine in her hand and looked at Lu Zhiyu in disbelief.
Lu Zhiyu turned into light dust and disappeared from the tilting tower. But before he disappeared, Lu Zhiyu looked at the bucket outside the door with a surprised expression.
