Chapter 29

"It's impossible! I don't know what kind of demon you want to be, but it's full of nonsense. If it's feasible, I'll eat my boots!"

Isaac Grantham, who was a little hysterical, spattered and looked dismissively at the parchment full of runes in front of him: "let me make sure you're not looking for me to have fun!"

"Of course not!" the little wizard immediately retorted, and his expression revealed a little unconvinced: "although I just thought of this design, I have done relevant research for nearly a month, and it is feasible!"

"I guess you did the experiment in a dream?" Isaac laughed bitterly. "Why am I not surprised at all? Oh, maybe it's because some unrealistic madman wants to turn lead into gold!"

"That's nonsense!"

"But now you are the nonsense, Lord Ayn Rand." Isaac pretended to be innocent and spread his hand: "seriously, I begin to doubt whether you have studied occult science. Your shallowness and ignorance in this regard are basically equivalent to the ogre who has just learned to speak human words."

"You say it again?"! The little wizard was really angry. The cheeked cheeks were stained with a blush, and the sapphire like eyes were staring at Isaac with death.

"... well, I'll change my way." Isaac, who was so afraid, turned his helpless eyes to Lauren: "Lauren Turin, please look at it from the perspective of incantation. How much feasibility do you think this thing can have?"

The little wizard next to him immediately turned his head to look at him. There were some expectations in his blue eyes, hoping to get a positive light. He was nervous and afraid, just like a cat in boots.

Loren couldn't speak at all. He looked carefully at the things on the drawing, and then recalled what ayin had told him before - it was an alchemical object similar to a cylinder, looks like a dagger, and there were a lot of expository texts beside it. And also with another finished effect picture, the blade of the dagger "becomes longer".

Yes, this thing is a laser sword!

He even wondered if he really showed the expression of "stunned" at the moment when the little wizard told him about it.

Loren didn't even hear the excited introduction of the little wizard. The whole person was completely dull in this "unimaginable" idea.

Under the "double attack" of the two people's eyes, Loren groped silently on the drawing and seemed to think calmly. In fact, he was completely thinking about how to answer so that both people would not offend.

"I'm sorry, but I must respect Isaac's point of view." Loren's words made the little wizard pale suddenly, and then said, "but since ain has studied it for so long, it shows that it is not completely feasible."

"Don't you offend neither of them?" Isaac couldn't help asking.

"Of course not!" Lauren denied without blinking. "I just want to put forward a new point of view. Practice is the only standard to test the truth. If we don't try it ourselves, no one can convince anyone."

"If it succeeds, it's certainly the best thing; but if it's a pity to fail, we must gain something - at least, we prove that this laboratory can't succeed, can't we?"

Well, this argument can't satisfy both of them, but at least it's "shelving the dispute".

"According to the design of this heartless madman... Er... I mean, Lord ayin Rand, we first need to cast a dagger that can carry this spell." Isaac, aware of his eyes behind him, quickly changed his words: "I suggest that the blade of the dagger be made of pure silver, which can greatly enhance the bearing capacity of the whole casting."

"There's no need at all. Just plating a layer of silver - and we don't have so much silver." the angry little wizard glanced at him: "it can seal runes at the handle of the sword to strengthen its stability."

"And I have a strong resistance to the void, so even if the load is higher, it doesn't matter." Loren said with some self mockery: "the design of the hilt should be longer, enough for two hands to hold. This can also increase the coverage of runes, kill many birds with one stone, and make it more balanced."

"But even if it can succeed, there is no way to really stabilize it. With all due respect, you all think too simply of the power of the void. It is not steel or bronze. It is more like lightning or explosion. Everything is in a moment. I don't know if you can really understand it, but if you want to stabilize it, it's just..."

Isaac stopped suddenly, as if he had been pressed by a mysterious hand. The motionless body kept trembling.

"What did you find?" Loren, who was more or less aware, asked tentatively.

"Yes... Yes, why should it be 'stabilized'? How can it be stabilized?" Isaac a hungry tiger threw himself on the drawing: "I'm so stupid!"

"It's rare that you find it now." the little wizard was still angry.

But Isaac didn't hear it at all. His eyes widened and his voice trembled: "this is a sword - it's not a chair or a book. We don't need to stabilize it. It should be extremely unstable in itself. It should be able to penetrate and tear any matter under normal conditions. Yes, it should be a sharp blade that explodes all the time!"

"You two, I have made an extremely important discovery." Isaac solemnly put down the drawing, and the whole person was very serious: "after my careful speculation, this thing that looks more ridiculous than toys is actually feasible. Maybe we really want to make something out!"

What I said from the beginning... Although I still couldn't help but want to talk back, the little wizard held back after seeing the eyes handed by Loren.

For a group, contradiction is never a problem, and sometimes it can evolve into a driving force to stimulate everyone's subjective initiative. So Loren knew that instead of resolving the contradiction, it was more appropriate for all three people to remain unconvinced of the other two.

"Well, now that it has been decided, let's start the division of labor." Loren waved his hand and said, "Ayn Rand is responsible for making the hilt and blade, what material to use, how to cast the casting, and the finishing work - in short, the manufacturing and seal cutting parts are left to our future alchemists."

"Before the parts are completed, Isaac and I will complete the construction and analysis of runes, and then see if there are similar materials in the library that can be used for reference to determine the final design scheme."

The two men nodded at the same time, temporarily satisfied with the arrangement - at least for now.

"Wait, one more thing!" Isaac suddenly said, "if this thing is completed, it is equivalent to a magic wand that can use magic, even better than that - it can not even be controlled by any spell composed of runes, but only..."

"It only needs a simple instruction, or even just a word!" the little wizard brightened his eyes: "then it can be connected with Loren's spiritual palace!"

"Considering that this alchemy item gathers the wisdom and sweat of the three of us, I have a proposal." Isaac suddenly became excited: "how about setting it as' genius Isaac and his friends'? Do you think it's great?"

“…………”

"Come on, I didn't mention you!" Isaac shouted innocently.

"I should have known I couldn't count on you." ain gave him a hard white look and turned his eyes to Loren: "it's up to you to decide. After all, it's designed for you."

Looking at the "laser sword" on the drawing, Loren hesitated for a long time, and then asked tentatively:

"What do you think of 'may emptiness be with you'?"
