"Professor?!"
The apprentices all exclaimed and looked at Felipe. They did not expect that there would still be someone who dared to stand out in front of the crazy Felipe.
Seeing the professor walking towards the platform, the necromancers and apprentices felt a strong sense of relief and dependence, because no one was willing to make a choice under the coercion, even though most of them had already decided to join the Hand of Paleness after weighing the pros and cons.
Soon, the joy and encouragement faded away. Deep worry and fear emerged in his heart. With Felipe's horrifying strength, could the professor deal with him?
Fatty, who was a bit timid, said in a low voice, "Mr. … Mr. Professor … should be able to defeat Felipe, right?" No one knew whether he was talking to himself or asking his companions.
"Mr. Professor is a big shot on the Cleansing List. Of course, he can defeat Felipe," Bread comforted himself as well as his companions.
Red Wine and Grouper were still looking at Felipe with fear, "Maybe … Maybe Mr. Felipe is also a big shot on the Cleansing List … Otherwise, why would the Hand of Paleness send him here?"
In the eyes of the necromancers and apprentices, Lucien stepped onto the platform and walked towards Felipe. Lucien's mind was divided into two halves, one was as calm as ice, while the other was under great pressure. All kinds of evil thoughts came to his mind. For example, he wanted to wave his hand and say to the people below, "I'm sorry that I'm late!"
Felipe's eyes were deep and calm, but it seemed that he was even more dangerous than before. He bowed slightly to Lucien, "Mr. Professor, what do you want to say? I'm standing here, and there's no way out. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I think only one of us can survive. "
The corner of Lucien's mouth twitched a bit, but there were many self-mocking answers in his mind, "Don't be so crazy … Don't start a fight … It's not good to fight … Let's sit down and find a way to win …"
Although he was mocking himself, Lucien knew that this was the best way to get out of this dangerous situation. Therefore, he tried his best to calm himself down, "I'm from the Will of Elements, and I don't have any intention to recruit a necromancer."
Lucien did not want to piss Felipe off.
Felipe was slightly stunned. What did the professor mean?
Ceci, Tess, and the other sorcerers and apprentices who were looking at Lucien expectantly were even more shocked. They thought to themselves, "Mr. Professor, why are you standing up for us? Furthermore, he is also a member of a certain magic organization … and an elemental one. "
Lucien changed the topic, "But I don't like the way you force people. Everyone here has the right to make their own choices. Whether they choose to stay here and live a dark life where it is hard for them to make a breakthrough or follow you to Allyn in exchange for tremendous benefits with their 'sacrifices', they should be allowed to make their own choices and bear the corresponding consequences. "
"Well said, Mr. Professor." Felipe was the first to applaud.
Then, he stared at Lucien without the slightest hint of a smile. "But, what if I don't agree?"
It seemed that if Lucien's answer was not right, he would immediately make a move.
As if he did not notice the dangerous pressure from Felipe, Lucien was still smiling calmly, "Also, I don't agree with your comment on elemental magic, Mr. Felipe, and I want to discuss it with you."
"What comment?" Felipe felt that he could not keep up with the professor's thoughts. They were just arguing about the right to choose between the necromancers and the apprentices, and now the topic had changed to elemental magic. Felipe was not as anxious as before.
After hearing Lucien's words, Ceci, Fatty, and the other sorcerers and apprentices were very much expecting that the professor would help them fight for the right to choose, regardless of whether they were elemental sorcerers or not. However, the change of topic made them feel very confused. What was the professor trying to do?
"Mr. Felipe, you think that elemental magic can't be used to refine human body. You believe that life force is the foundation of the human body, and without it, nothing in the human body can be refined by elements, such as blood, muscles, or other impurities, right? "Lucien asked unhurriedly.
Felipe did not expect that Lucien would want to argue with him about this. He laughed, "Of course. The mystery of human body is not something that you, who only know how to play with elements, can understand. "
"Mr. Professor, from the research on human body in the ancient Magic Empire to the common view of the arcanists in the Congress, I can't find any evidence that can make me doubt your comment. Even the Church admits that life force is the essence of human body, and without life force, we can't regenerate broken limbs, but they think that life force is given by God, and we're still looking for the answer from nature and the origin of the world. "
"Dozens of years ago, when several senior-rank sorcerers tried to refine human body with elements and failed, you elemental sorcerers also agreed with them, didn't you? Do you want to present a novel opinion that overturns all the previous arcanists and sorcerers? "
Felipe's words were like countless sharp knives that were thrown at Lucien aggressively. It was not that he was looking down on Professor, but it was because of his deep-rooted belief. Life Force Theory was one of the few basic theories in the school of Necromancy, and it had been established since the ancient Magic Empire. If it was overturned, the mysteries of human body and life would become unimaginable again.
The necromancers and apprentices around them all wanted to laugh, but they did not dare to do so. They had never experienced the boom of arcana knowledge, and their attitude toward ancient magic books such as Book of Necromancy was like the devout believers facing Cannon. Life Force Theory was one of the foundations of Cannon, so they were more certain than Felipe that Professor's question was absurd.
If it were not for Professor, many of them would be furious, because Felipe's question was a provocation to Necromancy.
Even Viscount Carendia, who had been watching the show casually, frowned and sipped his wine. It was somewhat against the common sense of arcana.
Lucien saw that his doubt had successfully distracted Felipe's attention. Clenching his fists, Lucien thought to himself, "I knew it. According to Felipe, a powerful sorcerer at such a young age must have mastered the corresponding arcana much better than other sorcerers. Felipe, on the other hand, was completely qualified. And this kind of sorcerer must be very interested in arcana, and when he was questioned, he would have a stronger reaction than other things.
Glancing around the hall, Lucien's eyes fell on Sidney's face, which seemed to have been sewn up, "It seems that only you agree with my question, Mr. Sidney?"
He was the only one who didn't change his expression. The other mages and apprentices were all smirking. Ceci and Tess, the two gloomy necromancers, couldn't help sneering at Lucien.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Professor. My face can't make any expression because of the after-effect of the ritual," answered Sidney with a poker face.
"Haha …" A burst of low laughter came from the hall.
Lucien turned around and looked at Felipe, who was wearing a faint but sarcastic smile, and asked in a very low voice, "Mr. Felipe, if I tell you that I can refine the things in the human body with only pure elements or lifeless substances, would you believe me?"
On Earth, the Life Force Theory had long been the dominant theory in the field of organic matter (human body was mainly made of organic matter). However, with the artificial synthesis of organic matter such as carbamide and acetic acid in the 19th century, this mysterious theory was completely defeated.
Lucien's voice was not low, but the hall became extremely quiet.
Felipe suddenly felt that the professor in front of him was even crazier than he was. Was the professor trying to achieve something by messing around?
"Haha." Felipe's laughter broke the sudden silence, "Mr. Professor, if you can refine the things in the human body without using any living substances, then I'm sure your research results will definitely shock the whole Allyn and the Congress of Magic, and you'll be qualified to receive the Holm Crown prize. However, so far, none of the winners of Holm Crown prize had won the ring based on this kind of research. And I also don't think anyone can win the prize with such a research result, because it's the 'privilege' of the school of Necromancy! "
"So, please stop talking nonsense and tell me what you're really thinking! Otherwise, I'll fight you for your provocation! "
Ceci was awakened by Felipe's serious voice. His mummified face relaxed a bit, "Mr. Professor, you're just joking. You're trying to make us relax, so we don't have to be hostile."
"Yes, or he wouldn't doubt the Life Force Theory." Tess nodded.
The audience also burst into laughter. No one believed that Lucien was serious.
Lucien looked at Felipe's gloomy face and smiled calmly, "Whether I can refine the things or not, we can only make sure after the experiment. Mr. Felipe, if you don't want to believe me, then let's make a bet. "
"If I can refine a living thing without using any living material, you can announce to everyone that I'm the one who contacted Sturk and let them make their own choice. If I fail, I'll apologize to you and leave right away. I promise that I'll never disturb the Feast of Death again." Lucien shook his head and said to Lucien, "If I fail, I'll apologize to you and leave immediately. What do you think? "
"Mr. Professor is actually serious!" An unbelievable thought surged in everyone's mind. (To be continued.) If you like my work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.
