Chapter 173 Candle Composition
The pipe behind the candlestick made Thor's hair stand on end, but it couldn't stop him from continuing his experiment.
Although Ferguson wanted to harm people, the conditions he offered really made Saul tempted.
Thor lacked magic crystals, credits, and even more rare experimental materials. Moreover, he had a lot of troubles, and if he wanted to solve them, he had to do in-depth research, which was another huge expense.
Since Ferguson and Kujin wanted to plot against him and threw a sugar-coated bullet, why couldn't Thor swallow the sugar coating and throw the bullet back? He didn't know what the real candle was worth, but he should be able to make a fake one.
Anyway, Ferguson just wanted to use the candle as evidence to blackmail him, he didn't really need to use it, as long as it looked okay.
Of course, this has to be a high-quality imitation. If it’s fake at first glance, you won’t be able to accept it.
Thor did what he said and immediately began to experiment with imitating the properties of candles.
He first listed the various properties of candles, then reversed the substances that might be contained in them, and even calculated and derived the synthesis reaction formula.
This deduction lasted until midnight.
The result of high-intensity mental activity was that Thor felt particularly sleepy and didn't want to use meditation as a substitute.
"The Nightmare Butterfly's cocoon has been taken out and sealed. There is no abnormal movement at the moment... Why not take this opportunity to take a nap and see if the cocoon will still affect you."
After comforting himself, Thor lay down on the low bed next to the long table with peace of mind.
This bed belonged to Ku Jin. Because it was too big and difficult to move, Ku Jin simply left it to Thor.
Thor simply changed the bedding and continued using it.
Before going to bed, Thor removed the gauze, but his left eye was still gray and he couldn't see clearly.
"It seems that I need to find someone to use high-level healing magic to recover. I hope it won't be too expensive to heal my eyes."
Thor slowly closed his eyes.
"I hope I don't have any dreams tonight."
He fell asleep quickly.
But tonight there are also people who toss and turn and cannot sleep all night.
The powerful third-level apprentices Kujin and Ferguson secretly gathered together to discuss tomorrow's response; Kongsha, who had lost half of her beauty, curled up under her bed, looking forward to and fearing the future; Angela, who was stamped with a five-finger seal by Thor during the day, walked through the West Tower at night with a mask;
The library, which is usually as quiet as a tomb, is extremely lively tonight.
For the first time, three librarians, a young, a middle-aged and an old one, gathered together.
"Are you sure?" the young man asked nervously.
"Confirmed." The old man raised his hand. Almost all of his ten fingers were missing the first knuckles, and they have not recovered yet.
The young man's eyes lit up immediately, but were soon blurred by tears, "We... have a chance to get out!"
The middle-aged man poured cold water on us at this time, "Are you crazy? Are you crazy? How can we escape?"
The middle-aged man had a sad face and was looking around while speaking, fearing that a figure would suddenly appear behind them and stare at them coldly.
The young man looked at the middle-aged man with disdain, "Afraid? What is there to be afraid of? Can he kill us again?"
The middle-aged man trembled all over just by hearing the word "he".
The old man ignored the timid middle age and touched his beard.
"I have an idea...Tomorrow, let's find someone to try him out."
The young man was confused and asked, "Didn't you try it?"
The old man hardened his mind and said, "I'll try to be more ruthless this time and get out of here directly!"
The middle-aged man jumped up in shock, his whole body sank into the ceiling and fell down again, "You are crazy, you are really crazy!"
But the young man showed a smile that was twisted with excitement, "Let's do it, who's going?"
The old man stood up with his hands behind his back, "I'll go!"
The young man pursed his lips but did not object.
Only the middle-aged man kept repeating with trembling lips: "Crazy, all crazy!"
…
The morning sun could not penetrate the dark wizard tower.
Thor slept soundly and dreamlessly that night.
He got up quickly, feeling refreshed. Even the gloomy warehouse looked much lovelier.
Thor stood up and prepared to clean up and continue the experiment. But when he saw the experimental records on the table, he suddenly felt that his current perspective was a little wrong.
Thor raised his hand and touched his eyes, then closed his right eye and looked around, and was surprised to find that his left eye had regained vision.
He quickly used the reflection of the knife on the table to observe himself, and was surprised to find that his eyes had returned to normal and the color had returned to black.
"Why is my body...healing itself?"
Thor hurried to check the cocoon sealed in the test tube. After seeing the silver ball slowly floating up and down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the calluses did not return to his eyes, otherwise his efforts yesterday would have been in vain.
Since the eyes didn't heal because of the callus, did someone secretly treat him? Or was it his body's own healing, as Thor had guessed at the beginning? The only people who could freely enter and exit the second warehouse were Thor, who worked there, and Gorza, the owner of the wizard tower.
Although the tower master certainly has this ability, he basically will not actively interfere with Thor's learning and research, and seems to be willing to let him grow on his own.
In this case, the possibility of self-healing is higher.
Thinking of this, Thor simply picked up the knife, disinfected it briefly, then rolled up his sleeves and left three consecutive wounds on his right arm.
The three wounds were of varying depths.
After simple disinfection and hemostasis, Sol made a simple bandage with gauze.
He then recorded the time and symptoms of the wounds to study whether his body really had the ability to heal itself.
After doing all this, Thor turned his attention back to the candles.
Yesterday he basically analyzed the composition of the wizard tower's perpetual candles, and by comparing them with the experimental notes he left over the past few years, he actually found one of the main ingredients.
That is the juice of the companion flower.
However, the composition of this flower juice is slightly different from that in Thor's notes. I don't know if it is due to differences in experimental data or material composition.
After all, companion flowers themselves are a large category with various functions, such as making poisons, increasing magic, stabilizing spiritual bodies, etc.
Thor had several companion flowers and kept many of their petals.
He immediately took out two petals with different functions and conducted another component analysis experiment.
This time, there were a few differences between the two sets of data he obtained and the data in the candles, but the overall trend was consistent.
"The two new sets of data also have similar differences. So I can infer that this ingredient is indeed a companion flower."
In order to ensure the reliability of the data, Thor ruthlessly took out two petals that were the same as before and conducted the experiment again.
The experimental results show that the second set of data is almost the same as the first set of data, and the differences between each set of data are also almost the same.
Thor picked up the analysis sheet of the candle ingredients and said, "So, the companion flower in this candle should be one that I have not cultivated."
Thor stared at the data sheet in his hand for a few minutes. Suddenly, he picked up a pen and wrote the words "stable spiritual body" on the paper, and then drew a big question mark.
"The flowers added to the candles are most likely companion flowers that can stabilize the spirit body! That's why the Wizard Tower has been cultivating and purchasing this kind of flowers."
Are the candles scattered throughout the wizard tower stabilizing the spiritual bodies of some being or entities? "If that's the purpose, candles are indeed very important. But cutting off a few pieces won't affect the effectiveness of the candles. If Kujin wanted to threaten me with candles, he would at least ask for a complete candle."
However, while he had identified one of the main ingredients of the candle, Sol could not find the corresponding material for the other one.
If there is no way to create a candle that can deceive Ferguson before this afternoon, then Saul will have no choice but to reject the other party's deal.
But Ferguson, who has physical abnormalities, might become desperate and attack him.
Although Thor was not afraid, he could not eat the sugar-coated food in front of him.
"What is the other main material? Or what can show the same properties?"
"It looks like a blood vessel or intestinal tube. The white substance transported inside can automatically repair the burned and melted candle..."
Thor stopped spinning the pen and shifted his gaze to his arm, where he had just cut three small wounds.
"Try?"
