Chapter 432 Alchemy·Hughington’s Family Past
People were constantly coming and going on the street, some of them were wearing new armors, some were equipped with new sharp weapons, all of them were smiling, and they were cheaper I will definitely be very happy to buy a good weapon beyond my expectation at a reasonable price. This time in the preliminary alchemy competition, the market price of anti-magic cloaks dropped significantly, and many people took advantage of this opportunity to buy one.
But there are also people who have relatively high requirements for equipment. They are still waiting to see if they can buy equipment that they are satisfied with after the rematch.
Hughington said: "The anti-magic cloak made during the preliminary round can also be regarded as mid-level equipment. It is very popular in the market. According to the normal price in the past, it has to be 3000-5000. Gold coins are now down to 2,000 gold, which is too expensive."
Wright said: " It is like this every time. There are too many people participating in the preliminary round, and it is impossible to give a question to every alchemist, which is difficult to test. However, some vendors take this opportunity to purchase these preliminary works in large quantities and then transfer them to other places. , selling it at normal prices can make a lot of money and make huge profits.”
"No wonder there are so many rich people in Arant City."
"Hey." Wright said, "Are you interested in competing?"
Hughington's eyes narrowed: "What is the competition?"
Wright said: "Let's compete in this rematch."
Hughington said: "How can we compare? You and I have different questions. Besides, the finals haven't even started yet, and you are so impatient. Are you eager to compete? ”
"Oh, what, you don't dare anymore?" Wright said like a challenge.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. I don’t think I will lose to anyone.” Hullington said: “But it’s not interesting to compete in a rematch. The questions are different, and it’s not enough to do such a thing. Let me deal with it with all my strength. What's more, huh, you are the son of a duke and you were born in China. In the hometown of alchemists, we must have all the high-quality materials at home, but I am a foreigner, and the materials have to be prepared temporarily. I can't be particular about many aspects, so I can only make do. If you compete, aren't you bullying foreigners? If there is a competition, I will also accompany you. I am afraid that when you lose, your face will look bad. It doesn’t look good.”
Wright said: “It’s useless to talk loudly, then just wait until the final. You and I have spent two years preparing for this final and winning by one point. Loser. But I firmly believe that it will be me who wins in the end and enters the Holy Garden.”< br>
“You are the one, it’s useless to talk loudly.”
Alice watched the two of them talking to each other in a heated manner, and put herself aside in the cold, I was really unhappy and was about to leave to find the master, but found that the master Bing Zhixie had returned.
"Toby, Toby." Alice looked at the child beside her master and the archmage of the Magic Guild who admitted Toby.
Toby ran forward and took Alice's hand, saying happily: "Sister Alice, I knew I would see you again."
Alice said: " Why are you here?" She looked at Master Bing Zhixie.
Bingzhixie said: "I just met him on the road when I went to the tavern."
Toby said: "Teacher Ada is also the president of the Alchemy Union and is very powerful. Alchemist, he is one of the examiners for the semi-finals of this alchemy competition, so the teacher brought me here to give me some insight.”
Teacher Ada, of course, refers to the president of the Magic Branch.
Alice was surprised. She didn’t expect that the red-robed mage who was defeated by her master Bing Zhixie was actually the branch president of the Alchemy Union. She thought that this old man could serve as the branch president of two unions at the same time. Long, it's not as bad as I thought.
There was a middle-aged man behind Toby. He said: "Thank you for helping Toby to enter the Magic Guild to learn magic. Thank you very much."
Toby introduced quickly: " Sister Alice, he is my dad. Dad, this is Sister Alice."
Wright said: "Teacher Ada, there are still a few days until the semi-finals assessment, and you are here so early. Please take a seat and have something to drink.”
Ada smiled and said: "The main reason for coming so early is to let Toby study more. He is my new student." "That's right."
Screamed a little more After drinking, Hullington, Wright and Ada were all here to participate in the alchemy competition. The three of them chatted. Alice was a curious person and would chime in from time to time. Bing Zhixie was the only one who remained silent and listened to what they had to say.
Toby's father was hired to come to Arant, and Alice asked: "Uncle, did the alchemist who hired you also pass the preliminary round?"
Toby's My father said: "Well, I passed it easily. Now I am preparing for the semi-final questions."
Alchemists also have requirements for the craftsmanship of making equipment. Some people are not good at this, or if they can't do it alone, they will ask for help. When Wright was working on alchemy, there were servants sorting out the materials.
Wright said: "In the past, after the preliminary round, there were about three to four hundred qualified people who could participate in the semi-finals. This year there are more people participating than in previous years, and there should be more qualified people."
Ada said: "Now the alchemy world is changing with each passing day. Many old guys like me can no longer keep up with young people like you." He smiled and looked at Hurlington: "You are the alchemist. Kim Hughington."
Hughington said: "Old sir, do you know me?"
Ada said: "Alchemists who have no attributes in the alchemy world don't say absolute. No, but it’s very rare. I’ve heard people mention your name before.” Ada added: “The alchemist Hughington who proposed the “New Formula Theory of Alchemy” one hundred and twenty years ago was...”< br>
"It's my great-grandfather." Hullington.
Ada said: "I heard that you use powerful magic power, supplemented by elemental magic arrays to make alchemy?"
"Yes, Mr. Ada."
< br>Ada said: "I have read your grandfather's "New Formula Theory of Alchemy". I remember that the most powerful alchemy method he proposed was to achieve the desired effect of alchemy with the purest magic power without relying on any elements at all. However, his idea failed to come true in the end and became a fantasy."
Hughington lowered his head and said nothing.
Ada said: "Are you following your grandfather's footsteps and trying to fulfill your grandfather's unfinished dream?"
Hughington said with a stern face: "You want to laugh at me, Do you think this is something that is impossible to accomplish? ”
Ada shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't mean to mock you or your grandfather at all. I think your grandfather's idea is great. However, I do think this is simply an impossible thing. No matter what kind of alchemy, no matter which element is used No matter what method or theory an alchemist uses, whether it is Senior Curran's "Theory of Elemental Effects" or Domig's "Theory of Material Generation", if you want to complete alchemy, you must use the action of elements. Isn't it also through the action of elements? You should? You know, alchemy cannot be completed without the elements."
Colum and Domig are two famous figures in ancient times. Curran has published many books and papers on elements, magic and alchemy. , and Domig is a famous theorist in the alchemical world. Once upon a time, the "New Formula Theory of Alchemy" published by Alchemy Hughington 120 years ago was compared with these two ancient sages. It was believed that this paper would become the third epoch-making symbol in the world of alchemy.
However, one hundred and twenty years ago, Alchemy Hughington spent his whole life and ultimately failed to realize the theory, and was ridiculed as a 'dreamist' and 'delusional' idealist'. In academia, Alchemy Hughington was also removed from the list of world-renowned alchemists and famous alchemical theorists by some people who were jealous of him. This also became a shame to the alchemist family.
Hullington suddenly stood up and said: "Is this what you're sitting here just saying? Whether it can become a reality or not, we can't make a conclusion yet. You don't need to make irresponsible remarks about our guys' affairs." He glanced at it Others: "I'm sorry, I still have to prepare for the rematch, so I'll leave first." They said and left with their magic robes.
The scene was a bit embarrassing, but Ada didn't really care.
Bing Zhixie held the cup and sipped the milk tea in the cup, but kept watching Hurlington leave.
