After the class on Tuesday morning, Isabel came to Aiwass for dinner as a routine.

Isabel has a lot of things she wants to share with Aiwass. From last Friday to today, when the two have not met, the topics have been backlogged for four days.

In the past, Isabel had no concept of time. For her, daily life was an infinitely repetitive cycle, and she had no expectations for the next day.

But now the situation is different. She is looking forward to being promoted together with Aiwass, looking forward to their adventures in the dream world, and experiencing another life together; she is also looking forward to chatting with Aiwass and sharing the interesting things in each other's lives recently.

thing.

Even though this kind of sharing happens every day, the content is completely different.

In the past, Isabel still liked weekends. Because every weekend, she could stay quietly in the Palace of Silver and Tin without talking to anyone. She could sing, draw, and play musical instruments there by herself, and time would blink in the blink of an eye.

It's over.

The tranquility of being isolated from the world can always heal her tired mind.

But now as the weekend approaches, Isabel will become worried about gains and losses. Because she won’t see Aiwass for the next few days, and she has gradually become accustomed to talking with others. Once she adapts to that kind of life, she will know how to

Because of loneliness.

Therefore, Isabel will carefully prepare a notebook with the topic plans she has prepared. She and Aiwass are not in the same academic department. They can only see each other steadily for more than three hours at noon every day, and they may not even be free in the afternoon-the two

There is often something unexpected happening between individuals.

This leads to the fact that sometimes she misses the topics she wants to talk about. She obviously met something interesting last night or in the morning, but she forgot to mention it after they met. She didn’t think of it until they separated, and the next time they chatted was already a day away.

What happened next... After doing this a few times, Isabel began to take notes, make some plans and preparations for the chat session, and record down the questions she had thought about or the interesting things she wanted to say.

She heard last night that Aiwass brought his sister to school. Isabel was very curious at that time, because she had known that Aiwass's sister was frail and sick and rarely went out to see the wind.

Now that she suddenly went out, she must have finally recovered from her illness, right?

Isabel is quite curious about Aiwass' sister, because Aiwass often uses "Yuli" as a topic of conversation. Although she has never met Yulia Moriarty, Isabel already has a considerable understanding of her.

.

Her character... seems to be somewhat similar to mine?

Thinking that both of them have no friends, and both have a good relationship with Aiwass. Maybe they can have a common topic and become friends?

So Isabel offered to meet Yulia, and Aiwass readily agreed.

After asking Aiwass what his sister liked, Isabel went back to prepare.

It was only at this time that she realized that she was indeed the princess of Avalon - obviously everything should be quite troublesome, but she just mentioned that it was ready before the end of the afternoon class.

Although she had the key to No. 14 Ronin Street, in order not to give Yulia a bad impression, Isabel nervously rang the doorbell at the door.

The so-called comparing one's heart with another's - Isabel thought for a while. If it were herself, if the door of the room where she was staying was suddenly opened by a stranger, she would definitely feel uneasy. No matter who the person was, Isabel would only feel subconsciously.

discomfort and resistance.

Fortunately, she lives in the Palace of Silver and Tin and doesn't have that opportunity.

What surprised Isabel was that it was not Lily who opened the door, but a cute girl she had never seen before——

Isabel is not too tall to begin with, but Yulia is half a head shorter than her.

The long white hair hangs down to her waist, and the bangs covering her forehead and temples make the girl's already petite face look even more delicate.

Her eyes were a rare, warm color like rubies. Isabel subconsciously thought of the candies she usually likes to eat.

...surprisingly very energetic.

"elder sister……"

Yulia made a soft voice: "Who are you looking for?"

Hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on Isabel's face unconsciously.

She is not the youngest in the family. Except for her two-year-old brother who is still alive today, Isabel still had younger brothers and sisters. But they are all dead now.

"I'm looking for Aiwass...at the same time, I'm also looking for you."

Isabel closed the door and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Yulia's hair - the girl's white hair was not as white as an old man's bones, nor was it pale and cold. Instead, it felt slightly warm.

, people can see the vitality and vitality at a glance.

The satin-smooth feeling gave Isabel a phantom-like touch from the tips of her fingers without even touching it.

She even wanted to touch Yulia's cheek. She was so cute, just like her grandmother's cat.

But she felt that was too rude - Aiwass said that Yulia was a very shy and timid girl. This would scare her.

"You are Yulia, right," Isabel said softly, "I prepared a gift for you..."

With that said, she handed the satchel she carried with her to Yulia.

Yulia tilted her head slightly while holding her bag, looking a little confused.

"open to take a look."

Isabel encouraged softly.

She was actually a little uneasy, because she was a little confused about the gift she chose - even though Aiwass swore that this was what Yulia liked.

But Isabel still felt that this was too strange. Why would a fifteen-year-old girl like these?

Yulia opened her satchel and found three thick books inside.

"The Triumphal Carriage of Antimony", "Theory of Transmutation of Metals: Special Agents and Modified Metals", "Astronomy of the Lower World".

"This is--"

Yulia's eyes suddenly lit up, and her whole body became excited.

Because these three books are all very famous alchemy works, and they are also books that cannot be bought through normal channels in Avalon.

"The Triumphal Carriage of Antimony" is a sacred book written by Valentine I, the founder of the Kingdom of Star Antimony, and "Astronomy of the Lower World" is an ancient alchemist's summary of alchemy - it regards alchemy as "

"Lower Astronomy" corresponds to the real astronomy "Upper Astronomy".

Transmutation is an alchemical term. It refers to one substance being changed into another substance, and one element being changed into another element... For example, a specific base metal is transformed into silver or

gold.

In this process, a transformation agent with mysterious properties is needed. It is a "special agent". It only consumes a small part to carry out a large amount of metal modification. Different types of special agents required for different alchemical processes are synthesized.

The methods and amounts used are different.

The essence of the legendary "Philosopher's Stone" is the ultimate special agent - only a small amount is needed to transform base metals hundreds of thousands of times its weight into gold. This is also what the alchemist said

One of the three ultimate goals we pursue.

It is equally famous as "life creation" and "universal solvent". The latter refers to a universal solvent that can dissolve all substances in the universe and return them to their most basic properties, so that any substance can participate in alchemy

among.

These three books respectively explain the three general directions of alchemy: "spiritual sublimation", "material modification" and "conceptual projection". It can be said that they contain the foundation of the entire modern alchemy.

This is not a popular science book for laymen, but something that only extraordinary people who are serious about alchemy research should start reading.

Although this is not a tantric book, if you can fully understand these three books, you can also obtain at least three mysterious skills from them, and then change your profession to become a real alchemist.

Yulia has a Star Antimony version of "Antimony's Triumphal Car", which is in the professor's collection. She has almost broken it... She has read it at least ten times, and can memorize many chapters directly.

But after all, she didn’t quite understand Star Antimony.

Even after repeatedly consulting the dictionary, she still couldn't understand some of the rare words, alchemical terms and coined words in the book. She often asked Professor Moriarty to help interpret words and passages that she couldn't understand.

The remaining two books are not even in the professor's collection - the former is too introductory for the professor, but it records the mysterious skill "substance transformation" necessary for changing the profession of alchemist.

The latter is another field that none of the professors have studied... It is a mysterious alchemy that uses the names and concepts of gods, similar to prayers and rituals.

It is impossible to buy these books in Avalon. They are completely forbidden books.

There are some in the library of Wangli University of Law, but the books in the library must be returned after reading... This makes Yulia a little reluctant. Moreover, Aiwass also has books that he wants to read, and Yulia doesn't want to use them.

I can use my brother's quota to borrow the books I want to read.

Yulia flipped through it a little, and was surprised to find that they were not typed out on a typewriter, but handwritten in their entirety!

These books are written in Avalonian, and the handwriting appears vigorous and powerful. Some notes, corrections and conjectures were written down in the content——

Apparently, this is the "first draft translation" of the Avalonian versions of these books today.

"...You should be Her Royal Highness Princess Isabel, right?"

Yulia no longer dared to pretend not to know the other person. She even hesitated: "Can I accept such a precious thing?"

She liked them very much. But because of this, she could feel the value of these books - and she even dared not accept them.

There is always a feeling, as if collecting these books is going to sell my brother...

"it does not matter."

Isabel smiled and said: "This set of books was a gift given to my grandmother by the president of Milton University... Because of my grandmother's education reform back then, alchemy was no longer a taboo. And in order to support this policy, he

The eleven alchemical works that I translated were sent to my grandmother, so that they became the basis for the textbooks compiled by the University of Avalon Law.

"After the textbooks were compiled, these books became my grandmother's private collection. Later, my talent for the authoritarian path was not good, so my grandmother gave them to me.

"I also thought about whether to learn alchemy. But it turned out to be too complicated for me. Aiwass said you like alchemy... It's great that you like it, so that knowledge will not be wasted.
To be continued...
