Chapter 159: The Product from the Experiment

The whole hall was silent. No one spoke a word, since they were all waiting for the outcome of the experiment.

A while later, when people started to whisper to each other again, Lucien said, ”Mr. Felipe, you can open the reactor now.”

Strictly following the procedures of doing a magic experiment, Felipe turned on a series of magic circles for safety protection one by one.

When the reactor was opened, and when the temperature was back to normal, Felipe collected the small amount of white particles lying at the bottom of the container and then turned to Lucien, ”What’s the next step, Professor?”

”You don’t want to check these particles, Mr. Felipe?” Lucien answered with a mysterious smile underneath his hood.

”What do you mean… These particles are…?” Felipe was confused for a second, and so were the rest of the people.

”Yes, Mr. Felipe.” Lucien nodded calmly, ”This is the end of the experiment. These particles are things contained within a human body.”

”What?!” The crowd was shocked, ”These white particles are… an ingredient for life?!”

A great stir started to gather its momentum in the hall. The necromancers and apprentices could not believe what they saw.

Felipe stared at Professor with his great, mixed feelings. He could not accept the fact that an experiment synthesizing an ingredient for life would be this simple.

”You’d better not be kidding me, Professor.” After quite a while, Felipe finally responded.

Lucien was also nervous. He knew that Felipe might lose his temper at anytime. However, he still answered in a calm tone, ”You can check it yourself, Mr. Felipe. Those particles is carbamide… the organic matter you were talking about.”

As soon as Lucien uttered the word, people in the hall stopped whispering and talking and went back to silence.

”Mr… Mr. Felipe, please check the particles,” asked the necromancers on the stage. They were afraid, excited and thrilled. They were staring at the particles with great concern, as if it was not something ordinary that could be simply produced by human body, but something so powerful like a taboo that could destroy their world.

Felipe looked rather gloomy and serious. Slowly, he walked back to the reactor again and opened it. Then, he used the first circle magic, Identification, to check the particles.

As the white light flashed past, Felipe stood there, staring at these particles without saying anything, like a statue.

After more than a minute, Cessy could not wait anymore. Carefully, he asked, ”Mr. Felipe, is it… carbamide?”

The rest of the necromancers and apprentices were also looking at Felipe, waiting for his confirmation.

As if Felipe was in a different world, he did not answer Cessy’s question. After another minute again, finally, he slowly answered, ”Yes, it is carbamide.”

No one made a sound after Felipe responded. All of a sudden, they felt that all the experiments that they had done and all the theories that they had learned were just like a dream. The experiment showed that their effort was worth nothing.

Felipe suddenly turned around and said to Lucien in a higher pitch, ”Mr. Professor, Identification is not accurate from time to time. I need to use other experiments to make sure what is these particles.”

Felipe was not finding excuses. Indeed, Identification was a spell built on the caster’s own knowledge level. So if the caster did not have a profound knowledge in the corresponding field, the magic would go wrong sometimes.

Hearing Felipe’s words, Cessy and the other necromancers and apprentices regained their hope again. They could not admit that their belief was wrong, and no one would easily admit that something he or she had been pursuing for the whole life was fundamentally not correct.

People often tended to make all kinds of excuses to deceive themselves.
