Repulsive and Attractive Forces

Chapter 71 Repulsive and Attractive Forces

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the lab bench.

The air was filled with the fragrant aroma of a beverage called Kuding wine, which was mellow yet slightly bitter, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

"The Dual Forces of Repulsion and Attraction: As a wizard apprentice, you lack the ability to guide the forces of nature. Therefore, you can only repel and attract forces centered on yourself, forming effective attacks and defenses. However, if you become a full-fledged wizard, you can use this Earth Core Stone, along with the ley lines, to freely control repulsive and gravitational forces."

Seemingly a little thirsty, Peranos took a sip of bitter wine, then smacked his lips, savoring its bitterness.

Green scribbled something down, his face showing concern: "After transplanting this Earth Core Stone, will my skin really crack, causing irreparable permanent damage?"

Green has asked the same question for the third time.

The so-called permanent skin rupture damage is like Peranos's body, where the skin all over his body peeled off and was then stitched back up, making him look like an ugly sandbag or a stitched-up torn ball.

"Hmph! How can you gain something without giving something in return? A wizard's vision lies in the essence of truth; outward appearance is merely a shell for others to see."

Peranos snorted in dissatisfaction, seemingly a little angry.

"Look! Look!"

At this moment, it was Gahei who jumped over, licked his paws, and kept laughing.

"Old man, look, look! Without the passage of time, young wizards pay a lot of attention to their appearance. I told you, you should start with the Endless Eye modification first, at least the appearance will change less."

Peranos snorted again, then tossed the Earth Core Stone to Green, saying unhappily, "You decide for yourself."

After saying that, he left the laboratory.

"Oh, the old man's getting angry. Green, watch out, you might fall."

The black cat, tail held high and rear end sticking out, stretched and hopped away.

Green held a black stone covered in sharp spikes, his face pale as he tugged at his hair, looking extremely troubled.

As for Green himself, although he also dislikes an ugly appearance, he might do it in order to gain more knowledge and power.

However, Green not only had to consider his own feelings, but also Raffi's.

If you think about it another way, if Lafite turned into an ugly monster, he would feel terrible.

"What should I do? Earth Core Stone, Repulsion Magic, sigh..."

Green was somewhat worried. Since his mentor, a level three archmage, spoke of permanent damage, it must be truly permanent damage. His transformation technique could only temporarily conceal the surface.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now and delve deeper into this witchcraft. Perhaps I can try some other knowledge to solve this problem. Besides, those cross-calculation formulas for the repulsion and attraction witchcraft are enough for me to study and research for half a year. This witchcraft is a brain-intensive task."

Thinking this way, Green simply put this annoying matter aside and continued his research on "Fire Element Dense Fire Shield Spell," followed by research on voodoo, alchemy, and potion-making, and then the passive evolution of ten magic wands...

From initially undergoing poison-mixing body tempering once a month, Green is now doing it once every one and a half to two months. Green's physical condition and resistance to poison are increasing rapidly. Green has to inject himself with more potent poisons in order to achieve the effect of poison-mixing body tempering.

Six months later.

Green was sitting in the Peranos Library, flipping through books, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck him!

The book Green was holding was called "A Classification of Mechanical Blood," a basic and creative book on mechanics. Because it was somewhat novel, it was collected by Peranos.

In truth, Green had little interest in mechanics. It wasn't that his knowledge of mechanics was insufficient, but rather that Green was naturally somewhat insensitive to gear-type machines and energy conversion applications, and therefore never paid attention to books on this subject.

But recently, as time has passed, Green has been constantly tormented by Peranos's words and has begun to hesitate about whether he still wants this appearance.

However, today, this book, "A Discussion on the Classification of Mechanical Blood," gave Green a new source of inspiration.

The biggest difference between wizards who study mechanical magic and ordinary elemental wizards, besides their mechanical bodies, is the purification of their artificial mechanical blood. In essence, they replace their own blood with an artificial liquid suitable for mechanical power transmission, thereby triggering mechanical kinetic energy.

The reason why the Earth Core Stone is implanted into the human body is that it needs to be located at a position called the origin at the center of the human body in order to achieve a certain balance between attraction and repulsion. In turn, it is located at a fixed coordinate in a series of calculation formulas of witchcraft, so as to activate the witchcraft of attraction and repulsion.

Green discovered this over the past six months.

The main reason why the Earth's core stone can cause human skin to crack is the uneven force applied to the human body.

Simply put, the root cause is that the human body is not a sphere and does not have a center. This causes the skin to tear under the constant interaction of repulsive and attractive forces. If the skin is still intact, it must be stitched back together with some highly elastic thread!

Then, he became like Peranos.

However, Green now has a solution.

If you grind the Earth's core into powder and mix it into your blood, distributing it evenly throughout your body, wouldn't that also prevent you from changing your original coordinates?

In this way, the skin receives even pressure, and naturally, there will be no side effects after the treatment.

Excited, Green jogged to Peranos's laboratory and presented his idea.

"Well, this idea does have some feasibility, but mixing Earth's core stone into artificial blood... never mind, my understanding of mechanics and biology is insufficient. I'll ask another old friend to see if we can create a neutralizing liquid."

After saying that, Peranos left the laboratory.

Two months later, Green got the neutralizing liquid as he wished, and he was very excited.

Peranos sighed, "If I had used my brain more like you when I was young, I wouldn't be in this state now, having spent so much time like this."

"You can also have this liquid replaced in your blood now. Without the dual forces of repulsion and attraction, you can definitely restore your normal human appearance with advanced repair techniques."

Green said, somewhat puzzled.

Peranos shook his head.

"Never mind, after all these years, this is what I really look like."

Green, caught up in his excitement, paused for a moment.

……

time flies.

Green was immersed in endless exploration of knowledge every day. The more he learned, the more insignificant he felt, and the more thirsty he became for knowledge.

one year later.

Green finally completed the Fire Shield spell. Through continuous testing, Green gained a clear understanding of the spell he had learned.

First, this fire shield spell is very effective against energy-based defenses.

Due to the properties of the Fiery Body and the Undying Flame, this sorcery can completely defend against most elemental attacks below 100 degrees Celsius, and it also has a good weakening effect above 100 degrees Celsius. The upper limit has not been tested by Green, but with the added defensive properties of the Pale Mask, Green has already achieved perfect defense at this stage.

However, Fire Shield magic seems to be slightly less effective against wind and earth elements, with a defense of only 70-80 degrees, while it seems to be extremely effective against life force and water elements, reaching over 150 degrees!

Of course, if the water element exceeds the range that the Grenade Fire Shield can withstand, it will be more damaging to the Grenade than other elements.

Secondly, there is physical defense.

The fire shield offers only about 30 degrees of physical defense, but because this spell utilizes the principle of short-term fire element concentration, it compresses energy significantly. Its instantaneous fire counterattack is definitely more than 30% higher than the normal fire element attack of a grenade, and it also has the characteristic of an inextinguishable flame.

Finally, there is Grimm's unique characteristic of an inextinguishable flame.

Because Fire Shield is a spell that instantly compresses fire elements, for a normal wizard, the fire elements would dissipate due to the excessive pressure after a short while. However, Grimm is different. Grimm's flames have the property of being inextinguishable, and maintaining the flames consumes very little magic power. This allows Grimm to maintain the Fire Shield spell continuously.

With these advantages, Fire Shield magic will henceforth become a more powerful, tiered defensive magic behind the Grimm Mask's defensive shield.

Overjoyed, Green could now devote more energy to studying the explosive fire magic.

In that case, it's time to put basic learning about the water and lightning elements on the agenda.

"Yes, I'll start studying this knowledge after this mandatory mission (training) is over." Green made this plan to himself.

but……

On this day, a spiritual message came from Green's crystal ball.

"Bing Johnson, what's wrong? You're not going to nag me from inside the crystal ball, are you?"

Green, who was studying alchemy, put down the half-finished product in his hand and joked with Bing Johnson with a smile.

It's clear that Green has been in a good mood lately, because the repulsive and attraction magic has made initial progress and can be applied in a simplified way, while other experimental research is also progressing steadily, especially some small progress in alchemy.

Soon, Green realized something was wrong. Bingham's expression was rather unpleasant, and he was no longer joking.

"What's wrong? Don't stammer like that."

Green was getting annoyed by the other person's suppression and said irritably.

Bingham gritted his teeth and said, "Raffi just came back from the abandoned courtyard, injured!"

Green's expression changed. Injury was a minor matter for a wizard apprentice, but since Binghamson looked so bad, he must be seriously injured, and there must be considerable consequences and lingering problems.

"Who is it?"

Green's voice was somewhat cold; this news swept away his long-standing joy.

Bingham said slowly, "Bebe Leona!"
