"You seem to be fine, so there's no point in worrying about me." When Angel left the conference hall, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.
This is Sanders' voice.
Angel followed the energy fluctuations and incorporated his own voice into it.
When Angel and Sanders were communicating, Muse and Midora who were walking in front seemed to have discovered something. They looked back at Angel and didn't say much, but their pace became slightly slower.
.
"I'm preparing to go to the R&D Institute now. I'll come back when things get better here. By the way, does the instructor know about my brother's situation?"
"Leon came here before to take his own gift, and he and your friend Nausicaa have already left."
Sanders talked to Angel about some more things. It was not until Angel arrived at the door to enter the R&D Institute that he said: "The R&D Institute has a shielding field. We will talk about other things when you come back."
After speaking, Sanders cut off the sound transmission.
Angel also walked into the R&D Institute at the right time.
As before, they extended all the way along the "Z"-shaped cliff wall and directly entered the top hall of the Fantasy Mechanical City.
Muse gave the access card to a mechanical puppet and let it inject new information.
Next, Muse and Midora sat down and continued the unfinished exchange with Angel.
The exchange this time was not long, it just concluded some unfinished topics. When the story was almost finished, Muse couldn't wait to conduct experimental verification.
In the end, only Midora and Angel were left looking at each other.
"Since Muse is busy, I will tell you some rules about the R&D Institute." Midora pondered.
As Midora told Angel, he gradually gained a general understanding of the R&D Institute. From the outside world, the R&D Institute is a sacred institution; but in fact, whether the institution is sacred or not is subjective, but
This is definitely the most loosely managed organization Angel has ever heard of.
You can get many benefits in the R&D Institute, such as knowledge interaction with fellow alchemists, deepening discussions on alchemical issues, nearly unlimited supply of ordinary materials, the right to purchase materials first, special materials that can even be exchanged for points... and so on.
There are basically no special obligations, only two things, which may be considered compulsory measures.
First, give lessons to some alchemists who stay in Mechanical City, and the lessons will earn points, and the points can be exchanged for many things.
Second, and the thing that all members avoid the most, is to sit in the R&D Institute!
The director of the R&D Institute is irreplaceable, he is the Muse. But the person who is in charge of the R&D Institute is not necessarily the Muse, but rotates.
Being in charge of the R&D Institute can actually be understood as being the acting dean. When you become the acting dean, your power can be elevated to a great level. It may seem very tempting, but you will also have to pay a lot accordingly.
What troubles the members the most is that they have to spend a lot of time doing something very tedious but they have to do it themselves.
For example, all R&D institutes negotiate with other organizations, the R&D institute's work arrangements, the formulation of projects, the release of works and follow-up...etc.
These things all make those sitting in charge feel very troublesome.
The living conditions of an alchemist can basically be summarized as "home and freedom".
Either he is a homebody like a muse, or he loves freedom like Gandolf.
Muse stayed at the R&D institute all year round to conduct alchemical research and rarely went out. Therefore, everything about Sky Mechanical City was left to Rosen. He was only responsible for producing alchemical results.
Gandolf's nickname is "Holy Light Walker", and his walking actually speaks for itself. He wanders around the world all year round, looking for inspiration during his travels.
Muse and Gandalf represent two attitudes of alchemists. No matter which one they are, they are contrary to sitting in the R&D Institute and handling various chores.
The members of the R&D Institute are either Muse type or Gandolf type.
Therefore, almost everyone does not like to sit in the R&D institute.
Only when it's your turn, will you bite your nose and come over bravely.
Of course, you can choose not to come whether you are teaching or sitting in the R&D Institute. For example, many members have not come to the R&D Institute for thousands of years, and there is still no punishment, but correspondingly, you will not get any convenience.
If you only want the convenience of the R&D Institute and are unwilling to contribute to the R&D Institute, that's okay; but in that case, the other members will naturally be dissatisfied, and you will only become more and more marginalized, and no other members will have alchemy exchanges with you.
.
"So, if I join the R&D Institute, I will also be placed in charge?" Angel couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"Not yet, because sitting in the R&D Institute still requires a basic assessment. This assessment covers many aspects. I don't think we will make arrangements for you in a short time. But in the future, if you have been enjoying the convenience of the R&D Institute and the assessment
If you pass the test, you will definitely be placed in charge." Midora paused and said, "Although you won't be in charge now, if you are free, you might as well come to Sky Mechanical City to give a few lessons. Some alchemists don't care about their skills.
It’s not enough, but their ideas may touch you a lot. Moreover, the points gained from teaching are also of great use. You can consult Antonio later.”
Angel nodded understandingly: "As for teaching, I have never taught it before, and I don't know if I can do it."
"Grandma Nail and I had a conversation before. If you go to her alchemy shop, there will be apprentices chasing you who want to be your assistant. In fact, teaching and having an assistant are basically the same. If they don't understand, it's their business.
It has nothing to do with you." Midora smiled: "Furthermore, with your current popularity, if a class starts, I estimate that whether it is epigraphy, pharmacy, or even some more special alchemy schools, everyone will want to attend it.
Listen and see.”
"Now that classes are starting, I don't know if I will teach or be watched." Angel couldn't help but shudder when he thought of that situation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You won't lose anyway, the more people there are, the more points you will earn." Midora didn't care about being watched.
Angel still shook his head: "Forget it, I won't start classes for the time being. Moreover, I won't be doing experiments in the near future. I have more important things to deal with."
Whether it's Jon's matters, Toby's matters, or his own promotion, he needs to put it first. Other things, such as teaching and communicating with the R&D Institute, are secondary.
Midora nodded. Sanders came to see him not long ago and told him some things, so he understood Angel's current situation.
"No matter what, it is a very happy thing for you to join the R&D Institute."
Midora's words brought this to a conclusion for the time being. However, Angel's access card had not yet been obtained, so he asked about something he had always wondered about during the previous witnessing ceremony.
"Ms. Portia, who was sitting next to me before, her name always sounds familiar to me. Who is she?" Angel asked.
"It's normal for this to sound familiar to you, Portia. Do you know Shua's Balance Formula?"
Angel was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Portia's triangular conjunction structural formula!"
"Yes, this is an alchemical magic formula that corrects a loophole in Shuya's balance formula. It was discovered and named by Portia." Midora said with emotion: "Portia is a very talented alchemist.
My mother-in-law once even said that she may be the person closest to the mysterious field in the current R&D institute, other than Muse."
"But now, you have surpassed me." Midora said with a smile.
Angel did not expect that Portia could actually modify this basic alchemy formula and succeed. As expected, the members of the R&D Institute should not be underestimated.
Next, Midora talked to Angel about the members who were in the conference room this time.
Generally speaking, these members are all neutrals, which can be regarded as relatively moderate. None of the radicals such as Donla came this time... By the way, there is another digression. Angel previously
The owner of the pool filled with special reaction fluid seen in Fantasy Mechanical City is indeed Donla.
Among them, Midora specifically mentioned Maguston.
"Don't blame Maguston. His character is actually not a radical." Midora sighed: "The main reason is that your current position is a bit vague, and Maguston has to be like this."
He didn't know whether Midora's soft cheeks were of any use.
Because he didn't know whether the relationship between Angel and Shuangyue would improve, or continue to be blurry, or even move toward fierce confrontation.
When they were almost done talking, Antonio, who was glowing with light blue light, came from a distance.
Antonio looked at Angel and handed over the access card in his hand: "The information inside has been saved, and it will belong exclusively to Mr. Pat from now on. This card can also be used as Mr. Pat's access card in Sky Mechanical City.
Identify card."
Angel nodded and took it.
Midora also told him before that this access card is very useful. It is not only used in the R&D Institute, but also in other facilities in the Sky Mechanical City. It can even be used to enter the endless corridors.
The Rising Star Competition is still in full swing at this moment, and the final reward is actually the qualification to enter the Endless Corridor.
After Antonio handed the access card to Angel, he added: "However, there is some incomplete information in it, such as Mr. Pat's name. Because there are too many names rumored now, I don't know which one to use.
So it is vacant for now. If you need to register, sir, you can come to me at any time."
Midora also said at this time: "Speaking of which, I'm also curious, what name are you going to use?"
Angel has actually thought about the matter of rectifying the name. Although he has thoughts in his heart, he has not made a conclusion.
Midora thought that Angel had no idea yet, so he said: "The name is just a code name. After all, the meaning of the name is very subtle. It would be more appropriate to have the name as a buffer. You don't have to worry, anyway, many people don't have it until they become official wizards."
Nickname, it all depends on your volition."
Angel nodded: "As for the name, I will tell Antonio as soon as I have an idea."
