Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 165

Although alchemy is not included in the three major frameworks, it is also the mainstream choice of wizards.

There are many directions of alchemy. In ancient times, alchemists divided them into two categories: "acting on oneself" and "borrowing foreign objects".In today's alchemy world, the classification is not as obscure and awkward as in ancient times. It is directly divided into: pharmacy, and epigraphy.

Pharmacy, as the name suggests, mainly focuses on refining pharmaceuticals.For example, the Night Potion owned by Angel was made by an alchemist who is proficient in pharmacy.Of course, the study of pharmacy is extensive and profound, and it doesn't simply refer to the potions you drink. Some more remote branches, such as Liana's incense making technique, also belong to pharmacy.

Jinshixue mainly focuses on making alchemy props, and David's spiral aircraft belongs to the mechanical alchemy under Jinshixue.

The idea of ​​alchemy is "transformation".Whether it is the medicine direction or the gold and stone direction, they all revolve around the core of "transformation", so although the two focus on different things, in fact, no matter which one they are involved in, they are collectively called alchemists.

Although the two have a lot in common, the refining process is different, and the selection of materials also has its own emphasis. Therefore, David must first ask which direction Angel is going to go, so that he can prepare the materials.

"The two major directions of alchemy are a test of talent. In terms of economic value, the two are almost the same; but from a technical perspective, I personally think that the direction of gold and stone is slightly more difficult." David saw that Angel was still silent , Thinking that he was still hesitating, he simply said the two directions of alchemy that he understood.

Angel: "I'm going to go in the direction of Jinshi."

"Are you sure? Although the medicine direction is also very talent-based, once you master the refining of a medicine, you can quickly recover the cost. It may not be so easy for the Jinshi direction to pay back."

"Sure." Angel's choice of epigraphy was decided early on.Although the alchemy books he recorded in the Nightmare Realm include gold stones and potions, he doesn't plan to dabble in pharmacy yet.If it wasn't for the imminent opening of the purification garden, he might even have to postpone learning alchemy until later.

But the world is impermanent, and the Purification Garden inspired Angel's motivation. In order to climb the Sky Tower and get the admission ticket to the Purification Garden, Angel had no choice but to deviate from the front and come up with the idea of ​​alchemy.

"Well, you make your own decision, don't regret it."

"It's not too much to regret. If the Jinshi study fails, I can choose the direction of pharmacy again."

David said with a smile: "Then the two of us have embarked on the same path, 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 will go to the warehouse and get it for you. It is definitely the market price." David took out several thick stacks of books and put them on In front of Angel.

"Encyclopedia of Magic Gold Materials", "Atlas of Smelting and Neutralization Materials", "Catalytic Materials Collection"...

David gave Angor these dictionary-like books, but in fact he also wanted to dissuade Angor.Don't look at him talking to Angel with a smile, in fact, he is not optimistic about utopians like Angel in his heart.If it is to make friends, David is willing to become friends with Angel.But when it comes to alchemy, David has a problem.He valued alchemy far more than himself.

In his heart, alchemy is not something that cats and dogs can dabble in. Angel plunged into the pit of alchemy and put on a rich and powerful appearance, which made him feel that something he cherished was desecrated by people who didn't understand it.

This is a very complicated mood. If Angel had chosen pharmacy, he might not be in a good mood.But Angel chose the same epigraphy as him, and the balance in his heart began to shift.

David didn't explain the thick stack of books, but just looked at Angel with a smile and let him make his own decision.

Angel didn't notice David's whirling thoughts.He purposefully picked out the books he wanted from the pile of books, quickly flipped through the pages, and then quickly clicked out the materials he wanted to buy among them at an extremely fast speed.

"12 standard volumes of Wuther silk, 7.8 kilograms of high copper, 11 cups of Maolan gravel, 349 grams of ice gel, star cold gold..."

David watched Angor's sophisticated selection, and suddenly discovered that Angel actually had a blueprint in mind before making the choice.Although the materials he selected are not advanced, there is actually an internal connection between the two.For example, ice gel 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, and it was mentioned that ice gel was used in the heat melting method After 5 minutes, add a certain amount of catalytic powder, which is the best adhesive for star cold gold.High copper is commonly used in mechanical alchemy, and it is an ideal material for making intermediate objects such as gears, while mischer silk is a tough material that cooperates with the rotation of gears.The two are also commonly used in combination.

Angor was able to propose these, obviously he had an idea.Looking at the other materials he selected, some are resistant to high temperature, some have strong ductility, and some can strengthen the power source. When all kinds of materials are integrated, it seems that the prototype of some kind of mechanical alchemy can already be seen.

Until then, the slight discomfort in David's heart disappeared.Because he could see that Angel didn't approach alchemy with a playful attitude, which was enough for him.

Angor selected a lot of materials, and these materials actually responded to his inner thoughts, ideas about alchemy weapons.

"There are 17 materials in total. If you calculate the calculation according to what you wrote, you need 1321 contribution points. I will erase the odds for you and count you as 1300." David glanced at the list made by Angel and quickly calculated the price .

1300 contribution points, worth almost 13 magic crystals, is considered a sky-high price for apprentice wizards.You know, Angor only spent 500 contribution points to rent a room.But to Angel, he can afford this price, and not long ago, he earned 1000 contribution points from Lady Liana.

He took out his bone card and swiped 1300 contribution points.

The heroic attitude made David feel envious and jealous again.

At this time, the two crystal balls on the table shone slightly, and David glanced at them and said, "The information you want has been transmitted, and I'll go to the warehouse to get the materials. Do you want to pick it up now or deliver it to your door?"

"It must be delivered to your door. I don't have space equipment."

"That's fine, Chenghui 10 contribution points."

……

When he came out of the 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 waiting room.Angel and Nausicaa chatted for a while. As they expected, in the match just now, Nausicaa didn't even draw out her weapon, and she defeated the Immortal Ice Empress with fists and feet.

Nausicaa won a match, and she didn't intend to stop, she was ready to seize this rare opportunity and continue to play.

Angel left a blessing, said goodbye to her, and returned to his home in Apprentice Town.

As soon as Toby got home, he immediately flew to the attic to start a new movement with his echo flower team.Angel sat in the yard, listening to Toby's "Noise Concert" while waiting for David to deliver the goods to his door.

The leisurely time passed quickly. Half an hour later, David came to Angel's house with four strong men.These four strong men were all ordinary people, and they carried several airtight wooden boxes in groups of two.

Angel directed them to move the wooden box to the basement, and sent them away after the inspection was completed and confirmed to be correct.

"Four ordinary people worked hard, and it cost me 10 contribution points. Your calculation is really good." Angel said sternly behind David.

David blinked innocently: "You don't have space equipment, do I have it? That's the standard equipment for wizards, and we apprentices don't even think about it. Therefore, ordinary people must be invited to deliver the goods to your door."

Angel waved his hand angrily, "You're being a good boy even if you get a cheap price, so hurry up and leave."

After David left, Angel went to the basement and sorted out the materials.When everything was finished, the moon had climbed to the top of the head, and the tree of eternity was shining brightly.

Angel dragged his exhausted body and collapsed on the bed.Too many things happened on this day. Although all the dangers turned into good luck in the end, the already tired spirit was already tense now. He yawned, covered the quilt hastily, and fell into a deep sleep almost instantly when he closed his eyes. sleep.

Early the next morning, Angel came to the quiet room after washing up.

The sequelae of backlash from spells have not been completely eliminated, so the training of meditation and spells needs to be postponed.But the study plan remains the same, he plans to formally study the theory of alchemy today.

Alchemy, originally in Angel's mind, is actually an analogy with chemistry.Chemistry is also the subject of transforming the properties of a certain element, and alchemy is, to some extent, very similar to chemistry.But when he combined Sanders' collection of books with the books recorded in the Nightmare Realm to understand, Angel suddenly discovered that although the chemistry of the earth and the alchemy of the wizarding world seem to be related, they are still two different things in essence.

Alchemy is a transformation method driven by "mystery". Behind every transformation, there is mysterious energy involved.Even mechanical alchemy requires magic power as the core kinetic energy.

In addition, if you want to learn alchemy, you also need to dabble in magwenology.Use the power of the magic pattern to pull out the mysterious energy contained in the extraordinary material itself, and then construct the most perfect combination.Or, simply use magic patterns as the core and materials as supplementary alternative alchemy.

After reading the theory of alchemy, Angel also had one big head and two big heads.He thought it would be enough to learn some alchemy techniques, but who knew that magic patterns would also be involved.It is also an extremely large and complicated subject. If you learn it well, you will not be short of magic crystal flowers just to draw the magic pattern scroll.

Angel sighed. He really wanted to reach the level of making alchemy weapons in a short period of time. It seemed that he had to start from the technological side of the earth for the time being.Mechanical alchemy has a taste of technology.But at its root, the supernatural is still the main thing, so it is still something that is diametrically opposed to technology.

Angel's current plan is to use the earth weapon as a blueprint model, and cooperate with the alchemy methods of the wizarding world to see if it is possible to create a weapon that can deter apprentice wizards.
