"Do you want to buy it? If you do, I can make the decision and give you a set of art kits." David took out a black tool bag from somewhere, opened it, and saw that it was full of various art tools. There were pens, rulers,
There are brushes, knives, and some colored ink.
Angel gritted his teeth: "Buy!"
The balance on the bone card bottomed out instantly, and Angel also took 7 magic crystals from the small bag on his waist to close the balance.
"Do you want it delivered to your door?" David asked with a smile.
Angel immediately waved his hand and refused, "No, I will hire someone outside myself."
I spent 50 silver coins and hired five big men. I picked up the packed alchemy tools and returned home in a hurry.
After stacking the purchased tools in the basement, Angel continued to hire these five men to go to the market in Apprentice Town and buy several special experimental tables and simple and comfortable stools.
For most of the next day, with the help of these big men, Angel's basement was successfully transformed into a laboratory. Although it still looked very crude, Angel was already satisfied.
The night was as cold as water. In this chilly night, Angel looked at the neatly packed laboratory and suddenly felt a sense of belonging in his heart.
In the days that followed, Angel's alchemy journey went smoothly.
It took Angel three days to successfully refine the first work of his alchemy career: a folding fruit knife.
The fruit knife is also one of the 3D printer drawings stored by Jon in the holographic tablet. It only needs to create three main parts and two spare parts to assemble it.
——Assembled alchemy props are the mainstream mode of mechanical alchemy. Although they may have less technical content than the one-piece ones, and their power is also much lower, due to the convenience and universality of mechanical alchemy, they are also used in the alchemy world.
a certain status.
The wood grain of the folding fruit knife and the handle of the flower tree is a kind of decoration; after the knife is opened, you can clearly feel the coldness of the blade. If you look carefully, you can even see faint lines on the blade.
The hardness of the earth demon blood copper and the sharpness of the casting water, the two low-level materials combined, formed a hard cold front.
Angel took out a touchstone to test the sharpness and scratched it lightly, and a faint mark appeared on the touchstone.
The touchstone is a special tool used by alchemists to test the sharpness. Ordinary mortal soldiers cannot break its shell. Only weapons that can break through the magic defense of wizard apprentices will leave marks on the touchstone.
Although this fruit knife has no special effects, its texture and sharpness are far superior to those of ordinary soldiers. The fact that the fruit knife can leave marks on the touchstone means that it is basically a weapon that can be used by ordinary people.
As a hands-on exercise, Angel said he was very satisfied.
What's more, this weapon is the first alchemy work in his life, and its commemorative significance is greater than its own meaning. Just like the dagger of young Sanders that Angel obtained from the nightmare world, it is just a common soldier, but it has a profound impact on Sanders.
Des has a special meaning.
Angel decided to collect the fruit knife and happily put the fruit knife into his inner pocket.
Suppressing the joy of success, Angel did not stop. After a little meditation, he recovered most of his magic power and began to refine his second work.
For this work, he still chose cold weapons from the 3D printing map, or kitchen utensils.
——Chinese kitchen knife.
The reason why he used the Chinese kitchen knife as his second training tool was mainly because he wanted to try one-piece molding.
He does not plan to make the Chinese kitchen knife into an assembled alchemy tool, but wants to directly use the hot melt method to create an integrated tool in one go.
One-piece molding is obviously much more difficult than he imagined, and he spent a lot of time just selecting materials. One-piece molding does not mean using only one kind of material, but means that the desired props are made using the hot melt method. The materials are not
Limited to one type.
After many experiments, Angel selected dozens of material combination methods in the "Multiple Materials" filmed in the nightmare world and tried them one by one.
If it were any other alchemist, it would probably take more than half a year to match the materials to form the finished product. However, Angel has the alchemy inheritance of an unknown school, allowing him to skip many steps directly.
What's more important is that everything he refines has a map.
Moreover, the 3D map is projected using a holographic flat panel, and it is a 72° panoramic view with no blind spots. Sometimes even if Angel doesn’t understand the reason, he can just draw a picture and make a rough idea.
Five days later, Angel's Chinese kitchen knife finally took shape.
The handle and blade of the knife, which are integrated into one body, emit a cold light. This kitchen knife still has no special effects. After all, Angel has not learned magic patterns, does not understand magic energy arrays, and has not put in special materials or catalysts.
In the end, I wanted to create special effects, but they were minimal.
Angel waved his hand casually, and the Chinese kitchen knife easily made a cut of nearly 1 centimeter on the touchstone.
"The one-piece molding is really better than the assembled one." Angel thought to himself. Just holding it in his hand, he felt the perfect harmony.
After successfully making the Chinese kitchen knife, Angel's heart became wild.
He decided to make a series of Chinese-style weapons.
The reason why he did this was not out of emotion, but purely to practice his skills and become familiar with the combination of various materials.
Ten days later, Angel walked out of the underground laboratory in a puff of smoke. At this time, there were three weapons on the side of the underground laboratory.
One sword, one knife, one thrust.
The sword is a three-foot green-edged sword, the saber is an unsheathed Tang Dao, and the thorn is a dual-wielding Emei thorn.
Of these three weapons, except for the Emei Thorn, which is formed in one piece, the knives and swords are all only at the level of a folding fruit knife. Angel estimates that he can get one or two magic crystals if he sells them. But he has no plans to export them for the time being.
, after all, he is pressed for time. And although these weapons are considered alchemical weapons, they are also of the lowest quality and can be refined by ordinary blacksmiths.
Angel was depressed in the basement for several days, gave himself a half-day break, rested and relaxed for a while, and then returned to the quiet room again.
The basics of alchemical works are actually the mastery of heat, shaping, and condensation. Angel has roughly mastered them. The various cold weapons he refined a few days ago are actually the basics of alchemy.
But learning these things does not mean that Angel has become an alchemy apprentice. At most, he can be regarded as the top blacksmith in the mortal world.
The real alchemy lies in the props it refines, which have extraordinary effects.
The so-called ordinary means equipment with amplifying effects, machines that can stabilize energy, weapons that can release spells, props with special effects, and more magical and indescribable abilities. Even space props and time props can be transformed through alchemy.
can be realised.
Angel's target is naturally this kind of alchemy tool.
If you want to make alchemy props with special effects, generally speaking, you can do it through the following methods:
First, magic patterns. In the alchemy process, combining the properties of the materials and adding corresponding magic patterns can promote each other and finally achieve special effects.
Second, the magic energy array. This belongs to the magic pattern science and is an upgraded version of the magic pattern science.
Third, introduce the particularity of the material.
Of course, there are other methods, but these three are the mainstream.
Among them, the first two are also called "enchantments", and the third are called "blending".
In the world of alchemy, enchantment is just a minor approach, and blending is the most orthodox method.
And if the blending is done well, the effect of the alchemy finished product is far greater than that of enchantment. Because if the alchemy props have special effects through the enchantment of magic patterns and magic energy arrays, it also needs the cooperation of the corresponding material properties, and you can't just portray whatever you want.
Describing something; there are huge restrictions.
And blending is to fully express the particularity of a certain material through the combination of materials. For example, winter gold and icecrow feathers are blended under certain special conditions through the blending of dozens of different catalytic liquids.
It can induce the cold special effects of the material itself.
The cold effects of the alchemy props produced in this way can be applied to materials of any nature without being restricted by enchantment, and the effect is much more powerful than enchantment.
If Angel wants to go further on the road of alchemy, he must choose the third option: blending.
But in order to cope with the upcoming tower climb, Angel decided to take a shortcut first: enchantment.
He took out "Basics of Alchemy" and began to learn how to enchant step by step.
If you want to learn enchantment, you must first understand magic patterns.
Magic pattern science has its own set of characters, or in other words, each pattern in the magic pattern is a character, which represents many worldly truths.
For example, a magic pattern that accelerates ripening of plants contains principles including weather, moisture, soil, season, etc. These weather, moisture, soil, season, etc. all represent a pattern, and these patterns are arranged according to the established pattern.
When the values are arranged, it becomes a complete magic pattern.
A true magic pattern apprentice must start by learning the meaning of each pattern. There are more than 6,000 basic patterns, with different meanings, and some even have the same meaning. Different patterns will be derived in different seasons when expressing the truth.
.Just like the textures that also express "sunset", because one is a winter sunset and the other is a summer sunset, they have different textures.
Angel naturally does not have the patience to memorize these 60 million basic textures.
For alchemists, they usually memorize the complete magic pattern and copy it into alchemy props without understanding the meaning of each pattern.
Roughly speaking, it is to follow the example of the gourd.
But it’s not easy to follow the gourd’s path.
Because carving magic patterns also requires stable magic power and a long time of carving, and no mistakes can be made in the middle.
For example, draw a complete magic pattern - the wave magic pattern. In a huge circular pattern, there are tens of thousands of lines in different directions and corners, which are finally combined into the wave magic pattern. The alchemist must perform the alchemy process
, controlling the magic power output, and carving this magic pattern on the alchemy tools stroke by stroke.
Moreover, when carving magic patterns, whether there is a slight difference in spacing, direction and size, it basically means failure.
Because of this, not many alchemists choose the path of "enchantment".
