Angel's hand was still in the air, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Well, it seems that his previous conclusion was wrong.
The attraction of mysterious concrete objects also has a strong attraction for extraordinary beings in the non-wizard system.
After Balalaika put on the Wuyuboros, when she looked at the Crystal Harp and the Monument of the Strange Ring, she felt a little regretful. She originally wanted to cheat them both, but now it seems that it is impossible.
"The deal is done, tell me, what do you want from me?" Balalaika changed her posture, leaned her elbow on the bar, put on the slender fingers of Wuyu Boros, and lazily played with the long-handled pipe.
Swallowing clouds and puffing out mist, it is difficult to hide your youthful beauty.
Angel originally thought that Balalaika would ask about the origin of Wuyuboros, but he did not expect that she said nothing and seemed to have no interest in its origins.
Balalaika really never thought about asking about the origin of these things. There are too many wonderful things in the world. Isn’t it tiring to know everything? What’s more, she will not leave her resting place, so what can she do even if she knows?
"Any deal is fine." Balalaika slowly placed the handle of the pipe on the back of Angel's hand, and gently drew a circle as if tickling it.
The itching feeling on the back of his hand, coupled with Balalaika's deliberately lowered suggestive tone, made Angel's heart sway for a moment. However, when he thought of Balalaika's identity, he regained his composure again.
Angel withdrew his hand expressionlessly.
"I came to see Miss Balalaika this time because I hope you can help me solve a problem."
"Killing?" Balalaika said cruel things in a nonchalant and frivolous tone.
Angel shook his head, carefully took Toby out of the bracelet and placed it on the bar.
Balalaika looked at Toby in the ice puck, and there was a moment of trance in his eyes.
"Bina Jones's freezing spell, the Doom Patrol's disaster..." Balalaika looked at the flame mark on Angel's earlobe again, and at the same time inadvertently glanced at a dark-skinned woman outside the bar.
: “It’s such a complex atmosphere.”
It turns out that this ice ball is the freezing spell of Pina Jones? Angel muttered in his heart. He had been wondering before, how could Odkras use the freezing spell when he was obviously a flame dragon? It turned out that it was not him.
But is Beena Jones also in the Ice Valley?
Angel did not go into details, but stated his purpose: "My close friend has been cursed by the Doom Patroller. I wonder if Miss Balalaika can help lift it?"
The Pilgrim of Doom is actually not far away from the Silent Dead Sea, and even lives next door to Balalaika. Angel privately believes that Balalaika should be able to lift Toby's curse.
As long as Toby's curse can be lifted, he can choose whether to complete the tasks given by Alderkras at his own discretion, and there will be no time limit.
This is the reason why Angel came to the resting place.
Angel was looking forward to it, and even took out the Wuyu Boros, hoping to get a positive reply. However, Balalaika shook his head at Angel after being silent for a moment.
"I'm not proficient in curses. If you want to undo the disaster on it, you have already found the right person." Balalaika said regretfully, "Odkras is more proficient in these things than me."
"Is there no other way?" Angel looked disappointed.
"Below the demon lord, maybe Alderkras can help you." After a pause, Balalaika added: "You can also try to find the Erfa wizard."
Angel shook his head helplessly. The phase gate was guarded by demon lords, so there was no way it could go to other phase faces.
Angel thought for a while: "Is there a fire-transmitting stone?"
Angel had previously sworn in front of Alderkras that he was an alchemist and that as long as there was a way to fuse the Fire Stone, he might be able to fuse the Fire Stone. However, in fact, Angel did not have a perfect solution.
grasp.
If Balalaika had a fire-transmitting stone, he would be able to worry a lot less.
However, Balalaika still shook his head.
"I had one a thousand years ago, but later I gave it to a client." Balalaika shrugged and said regretfully again.
Angel's face showed disappointment again. He thought for a while and finally said hesitantly: "Is there a method for synthesizing the Fire Stone?"
This is Angel's last hope. If Balalaika still doesn't come, then his trip will be in vain.
Angel looked at Balalaika with expectant eyes. Finally, after shaking his head several times before, Balalaika finally nodded this time.
"Once upon a time, a fire-transmitting demon made a transaction with me using the method of synthesizing the fire-transmitting stone." A flash of realization flashed in Balalaika's eyes. In fact, the transaction was not smooth, and she did not need the fire-transmitting stone.
How to synthesize stone. However, the fire demon said something
"The synthesis method of the Fire Stone is a secret among the secrets engraved in the blood of our Fire Demons. Unless we take the initiative to declare it, no one can get it. And our blood restricts us and we are not allowed to use this.
Tell the secret." The fire-transmitting demon said as he took out a broken piece of leather: "The piece of paper I got by accident recorded the synthesis method of the fire-transmitting stone. I didn't know where it came from.
Where, but I can use it to trade with you, so that it will not be restricted by blood. And this may be the only way to synthesize the Fire Stone that has leaked out."
Balalaika's response: "But I don't need it."
"You are a trader. What if someone needs it in the future? Maybe there is a fire master who needs this? It is the only one."
Because of these words from the Fire Demon, Balalaika had a thought at that time and agreed. As a result, the transaction was not very pleasant. She got a piece of leather that had no effect on her, but traded for an extremely precious piece of paper.
news.
After so many years, Balalaika has always felt that her original change of heart might have been a result of losing her mind and going crazy.
Unexpectedly, an accident many years ago would lead to today's transaction.
Balalaika could tell that if Angel couldn't get the method to synthesize the Fire Stone, the transaction would probably fail. And Wuyu Boros was extremely important to her, and she would never allow the transaction to fail.
At that point, she would design to force the transaction, but this would actually greatly undermine her integrity as a trader.
Therefore, it is best to make the transaction successful smoothly.
Now it seems that her luck is obviously good. The words of the fire demon back then turned out to be a prophecy.
It also proved that she was not crazy at first.
"...According to the fire demon I traded with, it may be difficult for you to find a synthesis method for the second leaked card." As he said this, Balalaika rummaged under the bar and took it out.
A piece of old leather paper, "What is recorded on this paper is the synthesis method of the Fire Stone."
Angel couldn't wait to take the paper, but he was dumbfounded when he saw it. It was full of strange words.
Moreover, the more I watched, the more dizzy my brain became.
"This is the ancient devil's language." Balalaika said.
Ancient Demonic Language is an elegant language system, and the text itself contains mysterious and unknown power. It is an exclusive language for the Archdemon and above. The Archdemon is at least a true knowledge level existence, and Angel can't even speak ordinary Demonic Tongue.
It is impossible to identify, let alone this more obscure ancient demonic language.
Angel looked at Balalaika pitifully.
Looking at Angel, who had a wrinkled face, Balalaika couldn't help laughing. Over the years, this human customer is probably the most honest.
Faced with Angel's request for help, Balalaika took out his long-handled pipe and pointed to the other side of the paper: "Look at the back for yourself."
Angel turned it over hurriedly, only to find that the synthesis method recorded on the back was written in common human language. Moreover, judging from the age of the text and the use of vocabulary, it was not the written recording method of today's generation at all.
On the contrary, similar expressions can be seen in some ancient books.
"This is originally on the paper. I have also read it. Some of the annotations are not clear, but the translation is very accurate." Balalaika said.
Balalaika's words made Angel realize one thing: it seems that he is not the first person to try something new. A long time ago, humans had actually obtained the method of synthesizing the Fire Stone.
I just don’t know who it could be? Angel looked at the back of the paper carefully, but there was no signature.
Maybe he is just an anonymous senior, maybe he has disappeared in the flow of time, maybe he has become a tide-turner in the long river of destiny, but this actually has nothing to do with him.
Now, Angel puts all his thoughts on this piece of paper. Although he didn't get anything substantial, getting the method to synthesize the Fire Stone also saved him from going to the Castlevania City of Rasudran.
.
While Angel was reading, Balalaika did not urge him, but picked up the goblet and tasted it alone.
About three hours later, Angel raised his head from his desk.
At this moment, his brows were frowning because some of the things recorded on this piece of paper were too strange.
Regarding the record of the synthesis method, it only took him half an hour to read it. The reason why he kept thinking about it was simply because he was reading the senior's notes.
I have to say that the senior who recorded it in Common Language was very attentive. Perhaps he was also an alchemist himself. He explained the synthesis method of the Fire Stone in the language of alchemy, which saved Angel a lot of trouble.
.
This interpretation alone is actually enough. Even if Angel went to Castlevania to look for the half-blood demon, he might not be able to get such a complete alchemical interpretation.
The original synthesis method of the Fire Stone was accidentally figured out by the distant ancestor of the Fire Demon. It is very easy to refine, and the materials used are not counted in weight, so the success rate of synthesizing the Fire Stone is not very high.
high.
As time passes, the success rate of synthesizing the Fire Stone gradually increases, but it is still not too high.
But this senior, using the language of alchemy and rational analysis, wrote out all the shortcomings of the fire-transmitting demons in their "original refining". Although he did not point out the solution, it can greatly improve the success rate.
However, the reason why Angel still frowned after reading it.
It's because Angel has never heard of almost more than 90% of the materials recorded here.
Fortunately, the predecessors who translated into common language have written down the effects of most of the materials with weird names, and also recorded alternatives to other materials.
That's what alchemy is, it doesn't stick to one formula.
Angel himself is also thinking about these alternatives, and Angel has reserves of materials for many alternatives. But for three of the materials, the senior has not written alternatives, which means they cannot be replaced.
And these three materials are the earth vein fire rock that has been deposited for more than a thousand years, the immortal burning bones of the black gold nightmare, and the most important... the white embers fire melting agent brewed by the hell fire.
