"Sorry, may I ask, what is the crystallization of wisdom?"
Shard softly inquired, resisting the immense pressure, feeling his head becoming increasingly numb.
The deity of the lake spoke in a gentle tone:
"The fruits of your wisdom. It might be a sentence, an article, a book, or an invention. Bring forth your wisdom crystal to prove your intelligence."
"Does it have to be original?"
Shard asked again, the deity gently shook its head:
"In the Third Era, I once posed this trial to mortals, and an alchemist crafted a Philosopher's Stone on the spot. Yes, a Philosopher's Stone."
The deity gazed at Shard.
"Oh~"
Shard heard Miss Teresa sigh lightly.
"Miss Violet, can you create a Philosopher's Stone?"
Shard then asked the Grand Witch beside him, who shot him a glare and did not answer. So he turned to Miss Teresa, who responded with a tremble in her voice before he even asked:
"If I could create a Philosopher's Stone, would I still be worried about my thesis?"
