Orthodox epigraphic alchemists always have detailed plans when making alchemical props, and spend a long time doing relevant research. Finally, they have to make repeated calculations and experiments before officially starting production.
Moreover, if you want to make an alchemy tool, you must have creativity, talent, vision and technology. Otherwise, you can only stick to the rules and follow the path of the predecessors.
Therefore, the vast majority of alchemists spend most of their lives on alchemy, and may not achieve anything. If there is little inspiration, the finished product will only follow the rules and have no new ideas; once the inspiration comes, they may express their enthusiasm without thinking, but they may not succeed in the end.
, on the contrary, it may be caused by using it too wantonly without considering the internal balance between materials, which may lead to more serious consequences, such as explosion.
Therefore, there are very few alchemists, and even fewer alchemists are talented and capable.
Angel has not yet thought about where his alchemy journey will go. What he is thinking about now is how to use the alchemy method to create the blueprints of earth weapons.
There is a lot of data stored in the holographic tablet given by Jon, but not all the data is available, and there is very little data on weapons.
Jon is a botany researcher and has no interest in weapons for fighting and killing. The limited weapon maps stored in the tablet are actually some 3D prints he copied from the Internet when he was using a 3D printer to make models in college.
Chart.
There are some maps of cold weapons, and there are also maps of several simple firearms. Angel's ultimate goal is naturally firearms, but he is not too ambitious. Firearms are only the last step. Before that, he wants to make some cold weapons to practice his skills.
.
Moreover, he also needs time to become familiar with various materials in the wizarding world.
…
After Angel had a general understanding of the theory of alchemy, his eyes naturally glanced at the special epigraphy techniques at the back.
Angel ignored the advanced tricks or formal tricks that he could not learn; instead, he focused on level O tricks and level 1 tricks.
There are only 5 types, namely: "O-level magic: Melting" "O-level magic: Condensation" "Level 1 magic: Melting" "Level 1 magic: Freezing" "Level 1 magic: Magic barrier"
Thermal melting method preheats the magic power at a predetermined frequency for a long time, and finally achieves the effect of melting the material. It is a method that changes the shape of the material. However, due to the long preheating time, the final temperature is very high, so it is used
During the process, you must maintain high concentration at all times.
The condensation method, as the name suggests, shapes the required materials through freezing.
The above are two O-level tricks. There are three kinds of Level 1 tricks. Among them, the smelting and freezing techniques are actually enhanced versions of the thermal melting method and the condensation method. They can smelt faster and more accurately and shape the mold you want.
Magic Barrier is a defensive spell with a long activation time and short duration. It is a spell specially tailored for alchemists in order to prevent accidental explosions during the alchemy process.
Angel estimated that after the negative effects of the backlash from his spells were gone, he would only be able to use the O-level magic melting method and condensation method. Therefore, during the viewing process, he focused on these two.
Spells.
After memorizing the key points of these two tricks, Angel suddenly remembered something. The epigraphy-specific tricks he was looking at now were actually collected from Sanders's book collection. He had not seen the Nightmare Realm recording yet.
Is there anything different about the alchemy books?
Angel did what he thought of, opened the holographic tablet, and found the magic chapter of "Basics of Alchemy" - the magic part.
Thermal melting method, condensation method, smelting method... seemed to be no different from Sanders' alchemy book. Angel continued to turn a page, freezing method, magic barrier...
Angel's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a special epigraphy technique that was not mentioned in Sanders's collection!
"Blackening Technique"!
"Huh? Why is there no spell level?"
With doubts, Angel carefully read the contents of the blackening technique.
In the alchemical world in ancient times, there were many major factions. Among them, the Death Faction, dominated by Odoros, was an extremely mysterious faction among the alchemy factions. What they advocated was "death and rebirth", and they symbolized black as the original chaos.
state.
Odorus once said: "Black is a true color, because there are various varieties of black, and black is the origin of all other colors."
The alchemists of the death sect admire black and believe that black is death. Blackening is a kind of rebirth.
Blackening means letting all matter die and transform into another form of existence: the tetraplast.
Tetraplast is a kind of slag that is neither shiny nor has any metallic properties. It represents the new substance that appears after the death of metal.
The blackening technique is to transform all matter into four original bodies, producing new properties, even unique properties.
For example, the thermal melting method changes the shape of matter; the blackening method directly changes the properties of matter!
The consequences of the change are not recorded in the book, but according to Angel's knowledge, everything must have two sides, and the blackening technique must have good and bad aspects. The details will be discussed after it is implemented.
It is recorded in the book that the blackening technique has no levels, because it determines the amount of blackening the target is based on the alchemist's own magic power.
If the magic power is instilled more, the blackened part will naturally be more, and it can even be completely blackened and become the four original bodies. If the magic power is infused less, the blackened part will be reduced accordingly. It is only related to the amount of magic power infused, and it itself
But it has no rank, and can be used by wizards of any level. Even a rookie apprentice like Angel who has just stepped out of the mortal realm for a few days can learn it.
After reading this, Angel had a general understanding of the Blackening Technique. However, the specific application conditions could not be determined until the backlash of his technique was over and the experiment was completed.
However, Angel guessed that this blackening technique should be an extremely precious technique.
You know, there is a saying that has been circulating in the alchemy world: the shape is easy to change, but the properties are difficult to change.
There are alchemical methods for changing the properties of matter itself, but all of them require formal wizards to learn! Because "changing properties" is about to come into contact with the essence of alchemy, how can a low-level alchemist get involved?
But the blackening technique has achieved this, which is simply unheard of in today’s alchemy world!
Seeing this, Angel suddenly wanted to know, what is the identity of the warden of the prison ladder in the nightmare world? The "Singularity Scattering Meditation Method" has already brought him a surprise, and now there is the "Blackening Technique"
, and this is only what is recorded in the elementary alchemy manual. Angel is looking forward to what kind of surprises are waiting for him when he learns the next step?
…
The emergence of the blackening technique made Angel excited for a while.
But soon, he turned his mind to other things.
For example, he planned to learn the theory of basic techniques in the next time, and then apply what he learned after his thinking space calmed down.
The so-called set technique is actually a kind of formation of the technique.
Wizards have many spells, not to mention self-created spells. There are thousands of tricks used by wizard apprentices alone. If you include the "Dehumidification Technique" and "Water Delivery Technique" that Angel named a few days ago,
", millions, tens of millions are possible.
From the vast array of spells, selecting a set of spells for one's own use is called a set of spells.
Generally speaking, a set of spells consists of four structures: main attack-like spells, blessing-like spells, control-like spells, and recovery-like spells.
Of course, each wizard has a different set of spells in mind, and some will add defensive spells and detection spells; no matter how many structures the spell has, it ultimately depends on how you apply it.
For example, some control spells, some have learned the frost spell, some have learned the greasy spell, and some have learned the flash spell. In actual combat, how to apply these spells reasonably is the key. A wizard apprentice can learn a
The entire set of techniques can basically deal with most situations.
However, sets of spells are generally only respected among wizard apprentices, because apprentices do not have so much time, energy and magic power to learn more spells and can only specialize in certain spells. However, formal wizards do not have this
trouble.
Moreover, the set of spells also has obvious weaknesses. Because of the single spell, it is easy to be restrained by the opponent. For example, the Immortal Ice Emperor only knows the frost technique. If you encounter someone with a bloodline, or someone who studies the fire system, it will be very easy.
If the routine fails, you will be tricked instead.
Therefore, tricks are only suitable for wizard apprentices.
Angel also planned to choose a set of tricks of his own. However, he did not intend to limit his framework to this set of tricks. The reason why he chose to learn the set of tricks at this time was just to prepare for climbing the tower in case of emergencies.
The need... in other words, is to make ends meet.
Angel did not choose spells according to the structure of the basic set of spells. He abandoned attack techniques and focused on control and defense techniques.
Once his alchemical weapons are crafted, his attack will naturally rely on the alchemical weapons. All he needs is to prevent opponents from approaching him and guard against long-range magic.
Grease spell, flash spell, ice wall spell, light and shadow... Angel sorted out the spells he needed one by one, and then silently memorized the theory.
Time passed so fast, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The routine that Angel chose, or rather his routine, has basically been chosen. The purpose is to prevent the opponent from getting closer. Even if he gets close, he can hide his figure through the contrast of light and shadow. If he really can't stop him, there is Toby.
exist.
When he learns these tricks and successfully makes alchemical weapons, it's time for him to climb the tower and realize himself.
The learning of the tricks has come to an end, but his thinking space has still not fully recovered, so Angel can only continue to learn other contents.
During this period, Nausicaa and Sarum came together, with the purpose of inviting him to do tasks together and earn contribution points. Angel refused their invitation due to his own illness.
After they left, Angel had nothing to do for a while, so he simply read the information about the Sky Tower seed players that David had transmitted to him.
