After the winter vacation, Zheng Qing returned to dormitory 403. When he saw the elves on the sunflower tray for the first time, they were just sleeping sleepily, as if they had narcolepsy.
However, the pair of newly born young wings under their ribs that looked like flower bones clearly told Zheng Qing that this was not lethargy, but transformation.
Xiao Xiao consulted a lot of information for the three elves who were undergoing transformation, and finally found an ancient prescription in "Alchemy Life" that had an auxiliary effect on promoting special mutations; Fatty Xin prepared Haoma essential oil for the three elves and applied it to them.
On their bodies, a layer of afterbirth was artificially created for them.
Both roommates thought that the reason why these elves transformed was because they were on the verge of death. Only by "breaking and then building up" can they be prosperous. Only Zheng Qing understood in his heart that they were probably able to get rid of their original shackles because they came into contact with his own blood.
artificial life.
Man-made opportunities.
Artificial afterbirth.
With the catalysis of time and magic, a "man-made" miracle may soon be born.
While these messy thoughts flashed through Zheng Qing's mind, he finally saw the 'fetal movement' mentioned in the fat man's letter - at this moment, the three translucent afterbirths on the sunflower disk were squirming slightly, as if the little elf inside was moving.
Stretching, you can vaguely judge their movements based on the undulating little fists on their afterbirths.
Xiao Xiao opened his bamboo slips and unfolded a layer of transparent barrier around the elves who were dancing as if no one was around.
Zheng Qing approached the barrier and looked at the elves carefully. After a long while, he hesitated and said: "Do you feel..."
"too fast."
Xiao Xiao, like Zheng Qing, carefully observed the slowly squirming figure in the sunflower disk. Before Zheng Qing finished speaking, he spoke to himself: "The three elements of transformation: magic, time and opportunity. Since they have begun to transform, the opportunity is
There is no shortage; at First University, magic power is also abundant. Only time... Transformation that lacks enough time to accumulate is not sublimation, but suicide."
Zheng Qing resisted the urge to cut a few cuts on his fingers and smear the blood all over the elf's afterbirth.
"Maybe because they are small, they metamorphose faster."
The fat wizard interjected: "As the saying goes, 'Chao bacteria don't know Hui Shuo, and worms don't know Spring and Autumn.' There are ghosts in the south of Chu, and they regard five hundred years as spring, and five hundred years as autumn; in ancient times, there were big chuns, and they regard eight thousand years.
Spring is spring, eight thousand years is autumn... Different life lengths, different worldviews, and different transformations will naturally occur."
Zheng Qing thought what he said was reasonable.
"How long have they been struggling inside?" He looked at the slowly squirming afterbirth, feeling impatient and wanting to help tear it open with his own hands.
Fortunately, there is still a layer of barrier in front of us.
"have no idea."
The fat wizard bent over hard and took a breath: "When I came back, these elves were singing. I observed them for a few minutes... and then immediately flew paper cranes for you."
"Is it possible that the afterbirth is too thick, so they can't break free?"
Xiao Xiao's face was pressed against the surface of the barrier, and the tip of his nose was almost poking through the thin magic film. It was very rare that he was not holding the black-shell notebook, and was just talking to himself: "But it looks like the three of them
The magic power fluctuations around the body are stable, and the breath is even...the elves who prayed did not panic...the situation is still under control."
"Music can always bring people richer feelings."
The fat wizard ignored the doctor's muttering, stood up again, let out a long breath, held his waist and twisted his butt, but stared at the three elves on the sunflower disk without squinting.
Zheng Qing looked to the left, then to the right.
"Should we ask some professionals to help?" He knew his own weight very well and could probably guess the depth of his two companions, so he gave what he thought was the safest answer.
"Who to look for? Professor Li from Potions class? Professor Yi from Divination? Or Lao Yao?"
Xiao Xiao gave three choices one after another, but finally shook his head, pointed to the three wriggling afterbirths on the flower plate, and reminded someone: "Do you think they are sick elves? Wake up, Mr. Teaching Assistant, they are artificial lives.
An unauthorized life transformation is taking place... In other words, we are participating in an illegal experiment involving life magic!"
The words "illegal experiment" are quite scary.
This is also an angle that Zheng Qing has never considered.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense - any magic related to life is very dangerous. As the saying goes, water can carry or capsize a boat. If a magic can save people, then it can naturally kill people, so it is related to it.
The spread of spells and magic experiments are strictly controlled by the alliance.
"Brother Zha, you are planning to graduate this semester. You are really not suitable for such things." Fatty Xin finally moved his eyes away from the elves, patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder comfortingly, and then looked out the window with a tone of voice.
A trace of uneasiness: "But then again, if we do this kind of thing in school... we won't be discovered, right?"
He looked as if he would rush to the balcony and close the heavy curtains in the next second.
"Only now do you know what to worry about?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the two uneasy companions with disdain and snorted: "The biggest reason why the alliance pays special attention to First University is this - it is uncontrollable - the school's teaching atmosphere is too loose, and violations often occur
The Alliance's "Code" has been concealed and not reported. This is a great damage to the authority of the Alliance."
"You mean, the school knows about this?" The fat wizard pointed at the sunflower, his tone changed.
“How fresh!”
The apologetic diviner adjusted his glasses and glanced at him: "The school's guardian array sweeps the entire school twenty-four hours a day, and the mating of ants is recorded. How could you not prevent such a special evolutionary phenomenon that you did not deliberately prevent?
Being noticed? Not to mention that there are two legendary wizards in the school now... The vision of legend is extremely broad and far-reaching. In their eyes, a special event related to a certain ethnic group such as the abnormal evolution of elves may be like the darkness of the night.
The fire is as dazzling."
"But this transformation is very valuable." Zheng Qing's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that the walls had ears.
"So they pretended not to see it." The fat wizard also came to his senses.
"Like those crows?"
"Like those crows."
The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became much heavier because of the last two sentences. Zheng Qing pinched the tiger's mouth unconsciously, as if he could feel a hard copper bean under his skin.
Half a moment.
He forced a smile and brought the topic back to the discussion of 'illegal experiments': "...Actually, when I just proposed, the 'professional' I wanted to find was Dr. Duzem or the person from Qingqiu Mansion.
