In an ancient castle, people came and went. This was an academy located in the Kingdom of Erik, called the Golden Oak Commoner Academy. However, it was not an academy for Extraordinary professionals, but an academy for ordinary scholars. On the lawn outside the castle, a large number of students came and went. Boys and girls sat on the lawn and under the trees, full of youthful vigor.
At the bottom of the castle, there were secret experimental facilities and laboratories, where many alchemists, wizards, scholars, and theorists gathered. There were both extraordinary and ordinary people.
In the underground laboratory where alchemy gas lamps were lit, there were large machines, alchemy tables, and rectangular iron work tables. There were a lot of blueprints and charcoal pens scattered on the tables. As early as one or two hundred years ago, charcoal pens had gradually replaced quills. Nowadays, people preferred to use the latest fountain pens. However, charcoal pens were still popular among ordinary people because they were easy to modify and cheap.
The underground laboratory was very large, with perfect alchemy equipment and system. There were also different models and types of alchemy tables for making different alchemy tools. It could be called a medium-sized alchemy workshop. As for large alchemy workshops, only kingdoms and churches with huge funds, power, and a large number of talents could build them.
At that moment, a large number of lab staff, regardless of whether they were Extraordinaires or normal scholars, were standing on the rusty iron corridor on the upper floor, on the tables, or on the stairs. They were watching the person in the center with their hands on the railings and looked into the distance. All of them looked nervous and expectant.
"Holy and beautiful Goddess!"
"Let your bright and dazzling light shine on the earth!"
"Let every … buzz … let every … buzz … buzz …"
Slap!
Alva slapped his palm on the magic tune machine, and instantly, the sound of the tape disappeared. The melodious female singing music sounded again. This was a device that was modified from the magic transmitter. It was called the magic tune machine. It was a trendy gadget that had appeared in recent years. From it, one could hear the news, stage plays, operas, and beautiful music from various countries.
Its function was similar to that of a radio, except that magic tune machines and magic transmitters received information by receiving vibrating signals from mind power waves. However, this new gadget could only receive a limited number of channels. Those who could purchase it were the winners in life with money and status. In the Hollyma Kingdom, there weren't many radio stations run by magic tune machine merchants.
Moreover, the magic tune machines sold by the Hollyma Kingdom had built-in shielding to prevent them from receiving mind power wave signals from foreign broadcasting stations. Some of the surrounding countries often promoted their gods in their radio programs or in their news, and smeared the Hollyma Kingdom and the Master of the Night. However, Alva's magic tune machine had been modified by him. Now it was broadcasting from the Kingdom of the Church of Light.
"Pa!" This was the sound of a mechanical button being pressed.
"Recently, a civil riot broke out in the Urabell province of the Ahenaten Kingdom. The Sumerian royal family and the military took violent measures to suppress it. A large number of civilians were killed. Some mercenaries joined the resistance …"
"Pa!"
"The Mining Alliance of the Principality of Gracchus has collapsed. Because the Kingdom of Gracchus is running out of mining resources, the Kingdom of Gracchus has to resort to external …"
Alva changed a few more channels, then turned around. His eyes were filled with excitement and madness. He high-fived Frank and Wilbert, who were behind him, and jumped up.
Frank danced with joy. "We did it! We really did it!"
Immediately, the hundreds of people in the laboratory jumped up, and their cheers soared into the sky. Everyone was extremely excited.
Wilbert patted Alva on the shoulder. "Alva, you're a genius. You're the favorite alchemist of the Goddess of Steam and Machinery. You did this!"
"Of course, for me, it's not difficult at all!"
"We've taken the first step. It's really possible for ordinary people to use alchemy tools!"
That's right. After Arwa modified the magic tune machine, the alchemy device inside it was activated without the help of any Extraordinaires. Furthermore, it was still in operation.
The foundation of alchemy originated from alchemy life. From the Floating-Space City to the small alchemy tools, they were all explorations of the path of creating alchemy life. In every alchemy tool, one could see the reference and principles of alchemy life.
The same was true for the newly emerged magic radio. It could be seen as the prototype of an alchemy life, but like a plant, it did not have wisdom, but had instincts. The instincts that alchemists gave it were the few alchemy devices. Just like their organs, they could receive the special fluctuations of mind power oscillations and then broadcast them through the loudspeaker.
But they also needed to consume energy. Their batteries were the Extraordinaires. The Extraordinaires extracted Source Form through their own willpower and merged it into mind power. Every time they used extraordinary power, they would consume their own mind power. After that, they needed to communicate with the magic net and meditate to recover. The power of mind power was the name of the tower. There were also other names like Divine Power, Magic Power, Death Power, and so on.
Alva, on the other hand, suddenly had an idea. In that case, instead of using Extraordinaires, they could create an energy source to replace Extraordinaires. Extraordinaires used their mind power to control alchemy tools. As long as they created a mechanical control device, ordinary people could also use alchemy tools and control extraordinary powers.
Using the incomplete blueprints and theoretical support of the Philosopher's Stone that they had stolen from the Kingdom of Eric, and combining the suggestions and experiments of a large number of Extraordinaires and scholars, they spent several years to create a special crystal.
It wasn't made from a large amount of Source Form like the Philosopher's Stone. It was a special crystal that could bind and store mind power, Divine Power, and Magic Power. Extraordinaires could inject their own power into it, and then meditate with the magic net to recover. After that, they could store it again. An ordinary apprentice could fill up a crystal with it several times.
"But the production cost is still a bit high, and it still needs Extraordinaires to charge it," Frank said after the excitement.
Alva nodded. He didn't seem too satisfied. "Not bad, but this is the first generation. Just like the first generation of alchemy tables, who would have thought of the functions and abilities of the alchemy tables today?"
"In the future, we will definitely be able to create these cute little guys in batches, and they don't need Extraordinaires to charge them. They can store more power and activate more powerful alchemy tools."
Wilbert said, "Then what should we call this stone? We should give it a name. "
Arwa opened the box of the magic tune machine, and a translucent crystal that was embedded in the groove like a crystal pillar was extracted by Arwa. It was only the size of two fingers in his hand. Everyone looked at it, especially the ordinary scholars present. They felt that the crystal light that bloomed was not the light of power, but the light of hope.
"It doesn't belong to Divine Power, not to Extraordinaires, and definitely not the power of clergy or gods. It's the magical power of all mortals. Let's call it Magic Crystal!" Alva, as its creator, named it himself.

The birth of the magic crystal allowed ordinary people to use extraordinary powers. With the transformation of Alva and the Golden Oak Academy's alchemy laboratory, all kinds of special alchemy tools began to appear. Magic crystal alchemy tools that ordinary people could use began to appear.
Frank, Alva, and Wilbert spent a lot of time modifying and perfecting them, gradually perfecting the production and system of magic crystal alchemy tools.
Frank and Alva set up a new magic crystal alchemy tool workshop in the Kingdom of Eric. They recruited many like-minded wizard apprentices and alchemy warlocks and began to produce and make magic crystals and all kinds of magic crystal alchemy tools.
As soon as all kinds of magic crystal alchemy tools were put up for sale, all the civilians in the city went crazy. Everyone in the city was talking about it. Many rich families and businessmen bought them.
"My God, this is a crazy creation!" At the door of the alchemy workshop, people saw their friend using a Witchcraft Ore Drilling Machine. They all opened their mouths wide.
"You're right, everyone can use it. It doesn't matter if you're God's favorite or not. In front of magic crystal alchemy tools, everyone is equal!" Frank stood on the stage and shouted crazily.
"Ordinary people can use it too. Why do we need such a gadget? As long as we find an Extraordinaire, we can charge it repeatedly. How long can it last? "A businessman raised his hand and asked.
"I want to buy a custom-made glass alchemy table. That way, I can hire some ordinary people to make it!" A handicraft workshop owner was very excited. In this era, handicraft workshops like theirs were gradually replaced by alchemy workshops. Alchemy workshops produced all kinds of goods in batches, which were cheap, beautiful, and of good quality. Gradually, they lost the ability to survive. At this moment, the appearance of a standard alchemy table that ordinary people could use made him crazy.
"Buy, buy, buy! I have to buy it!
I want a small steam locomotive that ordinary people can also control. That way, I can transport goods or travel to feed my family. "A fat worker was also tempted at this moment.
"I want to have one custom-made …"
In addition, some official organizations in the city, agencies that originally only recruited professionals and Extraordinaires, and some businesses also began to recruit ordinary people.
All kinds of amazing scenes began to emerge in the Kingdom of Eric. Ordinary people began to take on jobs that originally required Extraordinaires. They drove steam locomotives, airships, and alchemy ships. Ordinary workers could also control the assembly line alchemy table to process finished products and make all kinds of daily necessities. They could become airship fighters, and they could control magic crystal cannons and witchcraft tools.
They could become magic transmitters, radio hosts, city alchemy facility maintenance workers, city system managers, and even managers of wizard towers. They could control and regulate the climate, purify fertile soil, and operate equipment to become miners. All of these jobs were originally filled by Extraordinaires.
Everyone who entered the Kingdom of Eric was amazed by the discoveries and the scenery there. Many people were crazy about the existence of magic crystals and the appearance of new magic crystal alchemy tools. Merchants crazily poured in, and ordinary people spent all their wealth to buy or order standard alchemy tables that could be controlled by ordinary people. Although they couldn't make things at will, they could make specific alchemy tools.
Standing on the clock tower of the capital of the Kingdom of Eric, Frank, Alva, and Wilbert stood or sat, looking at the whole city. The sun was about to set, and the afterglow fell on the earth. From the top of the clock tower, they could see the whole city clearly. Everything was so clear and vivid.
The originally lifeless city that had fallen into a dead end was blooming with vitality again. No, it was not blooming with vitality again, but far more than before. The whole Kingdom of Eric had been reborn, and all this had happened because of them. They had achieved their initial goal, which was to let the ordinary people of the Kingdom of Eric integrate into this era.
"We've taken another big step forward. Right now, it's just a small Kingdom of Eric, a small country with less than 100,000 people, one city, and seven or eight villages. But in the future, we'll make the whole world Eric." Frank stood on the edge of the clock tower, looking extremely dangerous. He hugged the sunset and shouted happily.
"The latest part is the students of the Golden Oak. After learning, they can use the alchemy tables to make magic potions that only the priests and mages of the Goddess of Harvest know how to make. In the future, by controlling the alchemy tables, they will definitely be able to make some simple extraordinary alchemy tools. This is already expected."
"And in the unpredictable future, they can do more things that we can't even imagine now. Ordinary people can also become the people who lead the whole era of the extraordinary." Although Alva's face was expressionless, his eyes betrayed him. He also felt proud and expectant.
Wilbert had a long witchcraft sword on his waist. He squatted on the clock tower with one foot and the other hanging down. He looked a little lazy.
"I will help you protect our common dream."
The three of them looked at each other on the top of the central clock tower of Eric, and then they laughed at the same time.
But the good times didn't last long. Before they could completely implement the magic crystal plan in Eric, the army and combat airships of the Hollyma Kingdom rushed into Eric. A large number of soldiers and clergymen of the Master of the Night gathered at the border of the Hollyma Kingdom and crossed into Eric's land.
The Hollyma Kingdom, which coveted the method of making magic crystals, and the nobles, who did not want to see the rise of the common people, wanted to control the method of making magic crystals and the right to use magic crystal tools. Magic crystals would make it easier for the extraordinary to control the power, and it could also double the military power of the Hollyma Kingdom. It could completely suppress the Kingdom of Rosa d 'Oro, which often had conflicts and border disputes with them.
When the royal family of the Hollyma Kingdom and the Pope of the Church of the Dark Night discovered the existence of magic crystals, they immediately realized the potential and horror of this thing. It would threaten their ruling class. How could the peasants and common people use the power of God? How could this be allowed? And this power was in the hands of a small neighboring country that they had neglected before.
"This power must be in our hands. We can't let those filthy common people tarnish the power of God!"
"No, they're not tarnishing the power of God. They're controlling the power of the devil."
"We must punish Eric and the apostles of the devil, who borrowed the power of the devil. Let these blasphemers be annihilated under the power of God."
