Although alchemy is not included in the three major structures, it is still the mainstream choice for wizards.
There are many directions for alchemy. In ancient times, alchemists divided it into two categories: "acting on oneself" and "pretending to borrow foreign substances". In today's alchemical world, the classification is not as obscure and confusing as in ancient times, and is directly divided into: potions
Studies, and epigraphy.
Pharmacy, as the name suggests, focuses on refining pharmaceuticals. For example, the Lingye potion owned by Angel was made by an alchemist who is proficient in pharmacy. Of course, pharmacy is broad and profound, and it does not simply refer to the potions you drink. Some are more specific.
Branches of the sect, such as Lianna's incense-making art, also belong to pharmacy.
Epigraphy, on the other hand, focuses on making alchemical props. David's spiral aircraft belongs to the mechanical alchemy under the epigraphy.
The concept of alchemy is "transformation". Whether it is the direction of medicine or gold and stone, they actually revolve around the core of "transformation". Therefore, although the two have different emphasis, in fact, no matter which one they are involved in, they are both collectively referred to as
For the alchemist.
Although the two have a lot in common, the refining process is different, and the selection of materials also has different emphasis. Therefore, David first needs to ask which direction Angel plans to take before he can prepare the materials.
"The two general directions of alchemy both test talent. In terms of economic value, the two are about the same; but from a technical level, I personally think that the direction of gold and stone is slightly more difficult." David saw that Angel was hesitant to say anything.
, thinking that he was still hesitating, he simply stated the two directions of alchemy that he understood.
Angel: "I'm going to go in the direction of gold and stone."
"Are you sure? Although the potion direction also depends on talent, once you master the refining of a potion, you can quickly recoup the cost. In the gold and stone direction, it may not be that easy."
"OK." Angel's choice of epigraphy was decided early on. Although the alchemy books he recorded in the nightmare world include epigraphy and potions, he does not plan to dabble in potions yet. If it is not for the Purification Garden
The opening time is imminent, and he may even have to postpone learning alchemy until later.
But things are fickle, and the Purification Garden stimulated Angel's motivation. In order to climb to the top of the Sky Tower and successfully obtain the ticket to the Purification Garden, Angel had no choice but to take a different approach and come up with the idea of alchemy.
"Okay, make your own decision, don't regret it."
"It's not that I regret it. At worst, if epigraphy fails, I can choose the direction of pharmacy again."
David said with a smile: "Then we are on the same road, and we can help each other."
"I have a few books here that introduce epigraphy materials. You can take a look. If you need anything, I'll go to the warehouse and get it for you. It's definitely the market price." David took out several thick stacks of books and put them away.
When David brought these dictionary-like books to Angel, he actually wanted to dissuade Angel. Even though he was talking to Angel with a smile, in his heart he was very dissatisfied with Utopians like Angel.
If it was about making friends, David would be willing to become good friends with Angel. But when it came to alchemy, David had a problem. He valued alchemy even more than himself.
In his mind, alchemy is not something that only cats and dogs can dabble in. Angel plunged into the pit of alchemy and pretended to be wealthy, which made him feel as if something he cherished had been desecrated by someone who didn't understand it.
This is a very complicated mood. If Angel had chosen pharmacy, he might not have done anything. But Angel had chosen the same epigraphy as him, and the balance in his heart began to shift.
David didn't explain this thick stack of books. He just looked at Angel with a smile and let him make his own decision.
Angel didn't notice David's thoughts turning over and over again. He purposefully picked out the books he wanted from the pile, flipped through the pages quickly, and then clicked at a very fast speed.
Out of which materials he wants to purchase.
"12 standard quantities of mist silk, 7.8 kilograms of high copper, 11 cups of woolen gravel, 349 grams of ice glue, star cold gold..."
David watched Angel's skillful selection, and suddenly realized that Angel actually had a blueprint in mind before making the choice. Although the materials he selected were all low-level, there was actually something inherent between the two.
For example, ice glue and star cold gold seem to be incompatible, but when David went to Master Promi's house once, he heard Promi communicating with another alchemist master, and he mentioned that ice glue is used in
Five minutes after the hot melting method, add a certain amount of catalytic powder, which is the best binder for star cold gold. High copper is often used in mechanical alchemy and is an ideal material for making intermediates such as gears. Wushu silk is used to match
Tough material for gear rotation. The two are also commonly used in combination.
Angel clearly had some ideas when he was able to come up with these. Looking at the other materials he selected, some are resistant to high temperatures, some are highly malleable, and some can support power sources. When all kinds of materials are integrated, it seems that a certain
A prototype of mechanical alchemy.
It was only then that the discomfort in David's heart disappeared. Because he could see that Angel did not treat alchemy with a playful attitude, and this was enough for him.
Angel selected a lot of materials, and these materials were actually in response to his inner thoughts about alchemical weapons.
"There are 17 kinds of materials in total. If the measurement is calculated according to what you wrote, it will require 1321 contribution points. I will erase the fraction for you and give you 1300." David glanced at the list drawn by Angel and quickly calculated the price.
.
13oo contribution points, worth almost 13 magic crystals, is already a sky-high price for a wizard apprentice. You know, when Angel rented a room, he only spent 5oo contribution points. But for Angel, this
He can still get the price, and not long ago, he earned 1,000 contribution points from Lady Liana.
I took out my bone card and earned 13oo contribution points.
The heroic attitude made David feel envious and jealous again.
At this time, the two crystal balls on the table glowed slightly. David glanced at it and said: "The data you want has been transmitted. I will go to the warehouse to get the materials. Do you want to pick them up now or deliver them to your door?"
"It will definitely be delivered to your door. I don't have space equipment."
"Okay, Chenghui will contribute 10 points."
…
When he came out of Prome Alchemy Shop, Angel went to the Sky Tower again. When he came over, Nausicaa's game had ended and she was taking a nap in the lounge. Angel chatted with Nausicaa for a while,
Just as they expected, in the match just now, Nausicaa didn't even pull out her weapon, and she defeated the Immortal Ice King in just a few blows with fists and kicks.
Nausicaa won one game and had no intention of stopping. She was ready to seize this rare opportunity and continue playing.
Angel left a blessing, said goodbye to her, and returned home to Apprentice Town.
As soon as Toby arrived home, he immediately flew to the attic to start a new movement with his Echo Flower band. Angel sat in the yard, listening to Toby's "noise concert" while waiting for David
Delivery.
The leisurely time passed quickly. Half an hour later, David called four strong men to the door of Angel's house. These four strong men were all ordinary people, and they carried several airtight seals in pairs.
wooden box.
Angel directed them to move the wooden boxes to the basement, and then dismissed them after the inspection was completed and confirmed to be correct.
"Four ordinary people worked hard to get 10 contribution points from me. Your calculations are really good." Angel said sullenly behind David.
David blinked innocently: "You don't have space equipment, do I have it? That's standard equipment for wizards, and we apprentices don't even think about it. So, we must ask ordinary people to deliver it to your door."
Angel waved his hand angrily, "You're so good at what you get, so hurry up and leave."
After David left, Angel went to the basement to organize the materials into categories. By the time everything was completed, the moon had climbed above the head, illuminating the Eternal Tree with its gleaming light.
Angel dragged his exhausted body and collapsed on the bed. There were too many things in this day. Although everything turned out to be good in the end, his already tired spirit was now tense and he yawned.
, hastily covered him with the quilt, and fell into sleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.
Early the next morning, Angel came to the quiet room after washing up.
The sequelae of magic backlash have not been completely eliminated, so meditation and magic training need to be postponed. However, the study plan remains unchanged, and he plans to formally study alchemy theory today.
Alchemy, originally in Angel's mind, was actually based on chemistry as an analogy. Chemistry is also a subject that transforms the properties of certain elements. Alchemy is very similar to chemistry to a certain extent. But when he combined it with Sanders
After understanding the collection of books and the books recorded in the nightmare world, Angel suddenly discovered that although the chemistry of the earth and the alchemy of the wizarding world seemed to be related, they were still two different things in nature.
Alchemy is a transformation method driven by "mystery". Behind every transformation, there is mysterious energy involved. Even mechanical alchemy requires magic as the core kinetic energy.
In addition, if you want to learn alchemy, you must also dabble in magic patterns. Use the power of magic patterns to draw out the mysterious energy contained in mortal materials, and then construct the most perfect combination. Or, simply use
An alternative alchemy with magic patterns as the core and materials as the supplement.
After reading the theory of alchemy, Angel's head was as big as his head. He thought that learning some alchemy techniques would be enough, but who knew it would also involve magic patterns. It is also an extremely complex subject. Once you learn it,
Just to draw the magic pattern leather scroll, there is no shortage of magic crystal flowers.
Angel sighed. He really wanted to reach the level of making alchemical weapons in a short time. It seemed that for the time being, he had to start from the technological side of the earth. Mechanical alchemy has a bit of a technological flavor. But at its root, it is still based on
Where is the main thing, so it is completely different from technology.
Angel's current plan is to use the earth's weapons as blueprint templates and cooperate with the wizarding world's alchemy methods to see if he can create a weapon that can deter wizard apprentices.
