Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 402

Chapter 400 Radioactive Toxins

Gudo’s laboratory is very large, and he has many apprentices.

When Thor came in, he found it very lively. It seemed that all the apprentices with some ability were called by Gudo.

This is a scene that is rarely seen in Kaz’s laboratory.

Even if Kaz called all of Thor’s apprentices to the laboratory, everyone just did their own things, and they were considered to have a good relationship if they could communicate with each other once or twice.

Unlike Gudo’s laboratory, it was like… students who had just finished their exams gathered together to check their answers.

Thor’s arrival did not cause much commotion.

He stood at the door, deliberately reducing his presence, and then used his mental power to eavesdrop on the conversations of those apprentices.

These people followed Gudo, and no matter what element they originally majored in, their current research projects seemed to have some toxins.

For example, Keli, who was studying the properties of gold well, insisted on studying the toxicity of metals, and finally, under Thor’s suggestion, she actually made radioactivity.

Keli was also among this group of people, at the very back of the room, mixing potions with great interest.

“I’m really getting addicted to it the more I study.” Thor complained silently in his heart.

During his observation, Thor also found that Keli had the posture of a big sister.

Although she was only a second-level apprentice and had not yet been promoted to the third level, many people listened to her instructions and dispatched honestly.

Wizards all value strength, and knowledge is also a kind of strength.

And the person who was almost of the same status as Keli was a third-level apprentice that Thor was not very familiar with.

This was a bit strange, because Thor also saw Billy sitting alone and gloomily in the corner of the room.

There were many powerful third-level wizard apprentices in the wizard tower. Billy might not be the first, but according to Thor’s observation, he was at least in the top three.

But why was he sitting alone in the dark corner of the room as if he was exiled?

At this time, the busy Keli looked up and finally found Thor at the door.

In fact, there were other people who had noticed Thor’s figure long before her, but they didn’t dare to come forward, and just watched Thor silently.

“How long have you been here? Why are you just standing at the door and not coming in?”

“I saw that Master Keli was busy, so I didn’t dare to disturb him casually.”

Keli rolled her eyes. She knew that Thor was joking, so she didn’t ask why he stood here for so long.

“Come in. We are just about to start preparing the adhesive to send to the instructor. You can come and watch first.”

Keli pulled Thor in directly, completely ignoring the expressions of those who saw Thor. The two stood on a laboratory table full of materials.

“I have already told Instructor Gudo. He meant that you can follow me, as long as you don’t deliberately waste the potion. I told him that I wouldn’t, otherwise I would beat you.”

Keli said, and her hands did not stop moving. She skillfully took test tubes, beakers, crucibles, etc. and began to prepare potions in front of Thor.

“What I am doing now is optimizing the adhesive… Alas, the instructor didn’t even give it a name, and just left it here. What if there is a plan for further optimization in the future? Is it called optimizing the adhesive again?”

Keli was obviously happy, and she talked a lot more at this time. So much so that several wizards around the laboratory cast surprised looks – including Billy in the corner.

“Then it’s called a better adhesive.” Thor also cooperated with Keli.

“What about the third optimization?”

“The best adhesive.”

“The fourth time?”

“The best adhesive.”

The two joked while completing the preliminary processing of the adhesive.

Finally, Keli held up a cup of bubbling fluid that looked really sticky like glue and said, “Actually, what I just took is a semi-finished product. It takes a long time to ferment from the initial raw materials to the semi-finished products. You just need to look at the notes for those steps. I believe you can understand them all.”

She carefully held the beaker and led Thor to the end of the room. People on both sides carefully avoided Keli along the way.

Or to avoid the beaker in her hand.

“I see that there seem to be a lot of toxic substances in the materials you process the semi-finished products?” Thor followed behind Keli leisurely, almost pacing with his hands behind his back.

“Of course, it’s called adhesive, but in fact… you know, it’s something that forces the soul and the body to merge. It’s very domineering, so naturally there are a lot of toxic things. If you haven’t seen these things, there’s a list hanging on the experimental table just now, you can take a look.”

Thor had never seen most of the materials that Keli used for her experiments. Although he had read a lot of similar books on materials science in addition to “Basic Knowledge of Everything”, many of the things here were semi-finished products that had been processed. There were so many that even the apprentices here had to make a list to note, so as not to accidentally confuse what was what.

At the end of the laboratory, there were two huge spherical glass covers. The two glass covers were suspended on a metal control panel as big as a table.

A very complicated witchcraft array was drawn on the control panel. Thor took a quick look and, in addition to floating, he also interpreted runes that had the effects of sealing, opening, and even explosion.

“This is a witchcraft safe.” He sighed in his heart.

The two spherical glass covers on the control panel have a diameter of one meter and a size of a football. Each of them contains an irregular copper-colored metal the size of a thumb.

The outer spherical glass cover is also engraved with a complex magic array. Because it is engraved on the sphere, the runes and array diagrams of the array are obviously deformed. If someone who is not good at magic arrays comes to see it, he may not be able to recognize the content on it.

Thor is quite experienced in this area, and he immediately recognized that this array is an enlarged version of the Alpha necklace that Keli gave him.

As expected, Keli pointed to the small one first.

“Alpha.”

Then she moved her index finger to the large glass cover.

“Alpha attenuated.” She shrugged, but her arm holding the beaker did not move. “Well, I don’t know how to name it, how about you give it a name?”

“Actually, I don’t know how to name it, and Alpha attenuated is easy to understand.”

Keli looked over.

“Well, if you want, then call it Beta.” Seeing that Keli’s eyes were rolling around, Thor quickly raised his hands, “No more names, the ones behind can’t be carried, and the only ones left are Shuke, Tom, and Jerry.”

“Okay–” Keli dragged out the sound, giving up the idea of asking Thor to name all the toxins she made.

Then she turned around, still holding the beaker with more and more bubbles in her hand steadily, and shouted with her back to the crowd, “Open the lid!”

Thor suddenly felt like “a tree fell.”

Then he noticed that some wizard apprentices around him took two steps back.

Those who were handling fine processing work also stopped their actions.

Thor’s back suddenly felt numb, but he resisted the urge to retreat-after all, Keli was in front of him-but instead concentrated his mental power on his spiritual armor, ready to activate it at any time.

Under Thor’s gaze, Keli stretched out her little finger and drew a rather complicated pattern on the glass cover of the weakened Alpha along the lines of the witchcraft array.

The glass cover trembled alarmingly, and then quickly turned red after stopping. Clear water gurgled out of the top, as if it was cooling down again.

Keli quickly withdrew her finger and placed the beaker in her other hand on the place where her little finger last stopped.

A small hole appeared there the next second.

Saul noticed that the mouth of the beaker was not flat. When it was placed on the glass cover, it just matched the curvature of the sphere.

Although the beaker was tilted, the gelatinous liquid inside only flowed down at a very slow speed.

At the same time, Keli moved her little finger to another place and began to draw patterns again.

When she stopped her finger, the small hole in the glass cover began to close rapidly.

Keli waited for a few more seconds to make sure that there was no gap in the glass cover before taking the beaker down.

Then she held up the solution that seemed to have not changed much, and shrugged at Saul, “There’s nothing I can do. Radioactive toxins are so troublesome to use.”
