Chapter 420 Alchemy Materials
Alice waited expectantly in front of the teleportation array at Caesar's manor. It didn't take long for Caesar's butler Weiland to invite Wright.
"Your Highness, what do you want from me?" Wright asked.
Alice said: "Of course I am looking for you about alchemy. Today is the first day of the preliminary round. I believe you have seen the questions of the preliminary round."
"Well, It’s not difficult to make an anti-demon cloak,” Wright said.
Alice said happily: "That's great, then you can teach me how to do it. I also want to learn how to make alchemy."
Wright said: "Okay, but..."
"But what?" Alice asked.
Wright said: "Princess, do you want to experience the fun of alchemy?"
"Yes." Alice nodded excitedly.
Wright said: "Then don't do it in Lord Caesar's alchemy room. He has almost everything here, including rich materials. If you want to experience the joy of alchemy, you have to start from the very beginning. That would be really interesting." "
Alice's eyes lit up: "Okay, what should we do? What? The master said that alchemy requires thinking about all the steps, including what materials to choose, but I have only read the book for a few days and I don’t understand these."
Wright thought for a while and said: "Well, thinking about it. Leave the equipment to me. Princess, let’s start with selecting the materials. But we’re not here. It’s more interesting to go to Caesar’s warehouse to collect them yourself.”
“Hmm,” Alice said, “Wait a minute, I’ll ask the master to go with me.”
The three people came to the street, and Wright said: "To make an anti-magic cloak, the main materials used are magic. Mainly those that are used to counteract and interfere with magic. However, generally, materials that are effective in counteracting magic are not very effective, and those that are effective are relatively expensive, so most people will use substances that can interfere with magic. The material is relatively easy to find on the market, but it has a fatal flaw..."
"I know." Alice interjected: "That will also interfere with the owner's magic."
"Yeah." Wright nodded: "So what we have to do is collect these materials. , and find a way to eliminate this negative characteristic."
Bing Zhixie said: "Listen to what you said, do you already have a method?"
Wright said: "Yes. I am public His Highness has thought up a refining plan, which should be feasible. All we need to do now is to prepare the required materials."
Alice said in surprise: "Ah! My master said it is necessary to refine it. Sometimes it takes several days or even months to conceive a new item. How could you think of it so quickly? Could it be that... you cheated and someone told you the preliminary question in advance?
"No, no, no, of course not." Wright said with a smile: "I thought of it so quickly because since I participated in this competition, of course I have been preparing for this. Mr. Bing Zhixie is right, Generally speaking, if alchemy is suddenly used to make a new item, it does take a long time from conception to material selection to completion. However, for someone like me who was born in the land of alchemy, for alchemy. Techniques and methods of natural You are more familiar with it and know more about it than others. As for making an anti-magic cloak, because its requirements are relatively comprehensive and it has a good effect on whether the alchemist is qualified, it is listed as a requirement of our union here and even in other places. One of the test items."
"Oh." Alice smiled apologetically: "I thought you knew the test questions in advance because of your identity."
Wright said: "I absolutely For those who won’t do this, this is the dignity of being a professional alchemist.” He added: “After the preliminary questions came out this morning, I came up with several different ways to make this cloak at home. So I have a rough outline of the refining process in my mind, and since I’ve practiced in this area before, this question isn’t too difficult. I already figured out how to do it on the way out.”
“Wow, okay I'm sorry." Alice praised: "You said it's not difficult, but when I listened to the question, many alchemists said it was too difficult."
Wright said: "It's not amazing. I just loved alchemy since I was a child, and I devoted myself to it every day. When I competed, I naturally looked better than others. Because of this, my mother often said that I didn’t socialize much with other people my age.”
< br>
"Haha." Alice covered her mouth and said with a smile: "When you become an alchemist as famous as Uncle Caesar in the future, the Duchess will not say anything."
Wright said: "So this I must get first place in the competition, only then can I go to the Holy Garden to study."
"Go hard, I believe you will succeed," Alice said. "Thank you."
Alice said: "Then let's start preparing the materials. What do we need?"
Wright said a dozen things at once.
"Does it take so many things to make a cloak?" Alice asked.
“I want it.” Wright said: “Alchemy is a very complicated process. In comparison, these things are not much.”
“Okay, let’s go buy it quickly. . Buy all these things one by one and start alchemy right away." Alice pressed. He ran to the materials market without any urgency, and from time to time he would look back and urge: "Master, Wright, hurry up!"
While buying materials, Wright carefully explained each of the materials to Alice. Material characteristics, negative effects, and origin. Through the purchase of materials, Alice also learned a lot. At least she didn't know before that some small and inconspicuous things can have several different effects in alchemy. Among all professions in the world, alchemists can be said to be the group with the most knowledge and the most knowledge about the properties of elements and natural substances.
After some shopping, he only bought fourteen of the seventeen alchemy materials Wright mentioned. In this city known as the hometown of alchemists, there were still a few simple materials that could not be purchased.
Alice said: "There are really too many people participating in the competition, and even these materials have been sold out."
Bing Zhixie said: "Such a big city, also known as This is the hometown of alchemy, how can these ordinary materials be sold out? I think not only the alchemists participating in the competition, but also the citizens in the city are buying it."
Wright point. Head: "Yes. This is the case in every competition. Although many citizens in the city have not participated in the competition, they will try to refine the items required by the competition questions to see what level they have reached. "
Alice counted and said: "We still lack these three materials: ancient wood fossils, luminous sand, and green bead snail shells. "
"Ye Ming Sha and green pearl snail shells are both easy to handle. I know there are many abandoned sewers in the city where bats hang out. Green pearl snails can also be found on the grasslands in the countryside. The more difficult thing is the ancient wood fossils. This material is not rare, but it is not that easy to obtain. "If you use magic and special methods to make your own ancient wood fossil, it won't work in time. Lord Caesar should have it in his warehouse." go If you take it there..."
Alice immediately said: "Don't take it. I think alchemy is about finding fun. If you rely on what you have now, you will lose the joy of doing it yourself. As I said before, I must find the materials and make this cloak myself."
"In this case, if we can't find ancient wood fossils, we have to find a substitute material." Wright thought.
Bingzhixie thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Wright, if you want ancient wood fossils, do you want it to isolate the interference properties of other materials from the caster's magic?"
Wright said: "My plan is to make the cloak into two Layer, the outer layer is used to isolate magic, and then use ancient wood fossils and other materials to attach an inner layer under the cloak to separate the outer layer, so that it will not have any impact on the caster, Mr. Bing Zhixie, you. Is there any good way? ”
Bing Zhixie asked in return: "Is there a kind of fungus called Strange Straw Mushroom in the area of Yalant?"
"Yes." Wright nodded.
"That's enough." Bingzhixie said: "Use the rhizome of the fungus straw mushroom and the horn of the thunder-horned rhinoceros after drying in the sun, then grind it into powder respectively, and then use the fire element to heat it at 85 degrees and 200 degrees. At a temperature of 10 degrees, these two things are melted into colloid. At the same time, the blood of humans or ordinary creatures is mixed with pure water and the juice of Dela fruit, and then a light yellow crystal particle can be extracted. Then combine this particle with the previous two The colloids are melted together, wrapped with 110-degree fire elements and water elements, and cooked for fifteen minutes. Finally, magic is used to control the temperature to drop to about sixty degrees and applied to the inside of the cloak. To achieve the same effect as ancient wood fossils."
Alice said: "Wait a minute, Master, please speak slowly, it's too complicated. I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again."
Bing Zhixie repeated it again.
"Is there such a way to make alternative materials? I don't know." Wright carefully recalled the various material properties Bing Zhixie said: "Is it really possible?"
Alice was slightly a little confused. He said angrily: "My master says it can be done. Hum. Humph, it seems that my master is more powerful and knows everything.”
“It seems that I don’t know enough about the characteristics of some materials.” Wright smiled awkwardly, feeling even more unhappy about this. The young magician who spoke how to speak was even more impressed.
