"The Art of Blackness" did indeed concern Angel, but what he cared about was only the "historical facts" of the Death Party that might be recorded in the book.
These contents are only of interest to Angel, but not to the point where he needs to know.
It is even more incomparable to the solid knowledge recorded in the "Book of Starry Sky".
Therefore, he took a vaccination in advance.
Laplace also heard the implication of Angel's words, nodded lightly, no longer talked about "replacement", but asked curiously: "You are interested in "The Art of Blackness", maybe it is not for its purpose.
The art of recording, right?”
Although Laplace had only seen a few works refined by Ingres, Laplace also saw the extraordinary artistry in these few works.
At least, the artistry is much higher than the various alchemy tools sold at the Tooth Fairy Ancient Market.
It can be seen from this that Angel's aesthetic appreciation of alchemy is online, and he has his own unique vision and refining style.
Would Ingres really buy related art creation books for another kind of "black art"? Laplace didn't believe it.
Sure enough, when faced with Laplace's inquiry, Ingres nodded without hesitation: "Art shaping is not what interests me."
"What interests me most is the alchemical school behind this book."
Laplace raised his eyebrows: "Alchemy school?"
She looked at the crystal screen. The introduction to "The Art of Blackness" on the screen only mentioned the "Ancient Alchemy School", but did not explain in detail what school it was.
Laplace: "Do you know what alchemical school this is?"
Angel nodded: "The author of this book, Odorus, is quite famous in the ancient alchemy world, and the sect he belongs to is called...the Death Sect."
"Death faction?" Laplace repeated. He always felt that this name had a bit of an ominous meaning. Especially when "death" and "alchemy" were fused together, this ominous feeling seemed to jump out.
On paper.
Why is it called this name?
After pondering for a while, Laplace couldn't help but ask: "How is death connected with alchemy? Or is death just a name and has nothing to do with the alchemy school?"
Angel: "It does matter."
"The philosophy of the Death Party is death and rebirth. The so-called 'death' is to make all matter die, or in other words, enter a state of withering."
"When matter dies completely, it will transform into a new form. This form is called the Four Elements by death-sect alchemists."
"Then, matter can be reshaped through the tetraplast, and this matter will have a new form and even new properties. This is the so-called 'rebirth'."
Angel explained the alchemical philosophy of the Death Sect in a thorough and simple way.
Laplace didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until Angel gave an example that she suddenly understood.
Assume that there is a cold material, which is slowly "killed" by the death sect alchemists. Finally, it dies completely and turns into the "four original bodies" of the origin of matter. And this "four original bodies" are in turn killed by the death sect.
The alchemist used special techniques to ignite the hope of rebirth, and finally, it was reborn into a hot material.
Cold materials become tetraplasts after death, and tetraplasts become hot materials after rebirth.
There will be no other substances mixed in during the process, but one substance will completely change its properties.
From cold to hot.
The nature and essence of matter have changed, which is impossible in the eyes of any transcendent being.
But unfortunately, the alchemists of the death sect can do it.
And this is the alchemical concept of the Death Sect.
Even Laplace, who had lived for ten thousand years and had seen all kinds of storms and heavy rains, felt incredible when he heard about this wonderful "conversion of four elements".
Is this an idea that really exists in the world? Is this definitely alchemy, not creation?
Angel: "Although I have not seen the real Four Primarchs so far, according to the information I know, the alchemy of the Death Sect does exist. And..."
When Angel said this, he suddenly paused and looked slightly hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Finally, Angel thought for a while and finally said, "Furthermore, based on my limited knowledge, I think the death sect's alchemy is reasonable from my point of view."
Laplace frowned and said: "...reasonable?" Are you sure this is reasonable?
Angel did not notice Laplace's expression, but lowered his eyebrows and said to himself: "In my opinion, all wizards basically follow an unspoken rule, which is called - etc.
price exchange principle.”
"This principle of equivalent exchange can actually be applied to death sect alchemy. Cold substances of equal quality and quantity can be transformed into equal hot substances. Isn't this a special principle of equivalent exchange?"
"However, under normal circumstances, there is no way to achieve this principle of equivalent exchange. The death faction took a trick and used a common tetraprimum as a conversion medium, allowing the two to achieve an agreement under the influence of the medium.
Equivalent exchange."
"This is the alchemical essence of the Death Sect as I understand it."
However, Angel also knew that what he understood was very superficial and superficial. The alchemical essence of the Death Sect must still have secrets; otherwise, their concept would not be titled "Death and Rebirth", but
Wouldn't it be enough to simply use "equivalent exchange"?
So Angel is very sure that his understanding must be biased. The reason why he tells the content that he knows is biased is mainly because he wants to use a shallower understanding to explain the truth to Laplace.
Although Angel felt that... his explanation might be more biased.
Thinking of this, Angel quickly added his thoughts to Laplace, lest Laplace really believed it.
Laplace pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know whether your explanation is correct, but looking at this matter from the perspective of equivalent exchange is indeed a novel perspective. Moreover, this perspective seems to be really useful.
That makes sense."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Laplace shrugged: "Forget it, I don't know how to alchemy myself. If I think about it forcefully, I will fall into a deadlock in my thinking. As long as you know the Death Sect
The general idea is enough.”
"Whether it's reasonable or not, it doesn't matter to me."
Seeing that Laplace gave up asking questions about ideas, Angel also breathed a sigh of relief.
Laplace now understands that Ingres is interested in "The Art of Blackness" purely because it is a work of the Death Party?
Considering the outrageous core philosophy of the Death Sect, it is normal for Angel, as an alchemist, to be interested in it.
Laplace pointed to the last row of words in the introduction to "The Art of Blackness": "Then do you think there are really secrets in "The Art of Blackness"?"
Angel also followed Laplace's fingers and looked at the crystal screen.
——"It is said that there are secrets hidden in "The Art of Blackness"."
Angel stared for a moment and then said: "I can't answer whether there is a secret. But in my opinion, unless there is clear evidence that there is a secret...just like "Journey to the Umbrella", there are witnesses
There is also past history.”
"Otherwise, it's hard for me to believe that there are secrets in the book."
Because "The Art of Blackness" is just a book, even if it does have a secret, and the secret is very deep, there is always a way to discover it as long as it is placed in front of you.
For example, prophecy.
"Black Art" is not a mysterious thing. Through prophecy, you can completely find the irrationality.
As for whether "The Art of Darkness" will have measures to prevent prophecies? It actually doesn't matter, because if it really has measures to prevent prophecies, wouldn't it prove that "Art of Darkness" must have some secrets?
The introduction on the crystal screen does not clearly state the measures to prevent prophecy, which means there are none.
Angel told Laplace his thoughts.
After hearing this, Laplace suddenly said: "The people of the Jingmu tribe are not stupid. Moreover, this book first appeared in the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins. Those ancient tooth fairies claimed to be scholars, and they were not fools. Can you
Whatever comes to mind, they can actually think of it.”
"Since they have thought of it, they still marked it in the introduction that "The Art of Blackness" seems to contain secrets. Does that mean that in their opinion, there are really some unreasonable things in this book?
?”
Angel was stunned. He had never thought of this level before.
He fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said: "I can't judge."
Laplace: "Since we can't judge, let's just ask."
Having said this, Laplace paused the communication with the psychic tether, and instead looked up at Jota, who was not far away.
When Yota saw this, he immediately understood and came over quickly: "You two, are you planning to exchange for the third treasure?"
