My Magic Age

There are six large crucibles placed side by side in the room. This round-bottomed crucible is almost a must-have alchemy tool for alchemists. With the help of magic power, alchemists use crucibles to remove slag, refine and purify magic materials. , after fusing many techniques, finally formed a new alchemy material.

In the eyes of Scholar Francis, these crucibles are more like ordinary vessels. He used a special method to melt magic metal into a liquid state at normal temperature. In this way, the liquid metal is the 'ink' needed in the magic seal workshop. After the dwarf craftsmen smear this 'ink' on the punch of the magic sealing machine, they will then engrave the magic pattern on the crossbow arrowhead or the base material of the rune plate. This is how the magic pattern rune plate is made.

Although those magic engraving machines are the key to the success of the copper magic rune plates, without the magic metal solution prepared by Francis Scholar, these metal magic rune plates cannot be produced.

There are three more crucibles in Scholar Francis' laboratory than when I came here before, and with the assistance of magic assistants, these crucibles are smelting magic metal. Each of the three magic assistants is holding a magic white paper notebook. between Magic materials were continuously poured into the crucible in front of me, many of which were ground into powder. I saw a magic assistant pour a tube of salamander blood into the crucible, and the flames in the crucible instantly Just jumped out. The scene was like a clown performing acrobatics in front of an audience in a circus.

In the alchemy laboratory of Scholar Francis, I took out ten mithril ingots in front of Scholar Francis and said goodbye to Scholar Francis.

Unexpectedly, before I could leave this time, I was stopped by Scholar Francis.

"Um... Jijia, wait a minute." A slightly thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

He turned around and walked to the display shelf on the wall inside the laboratory. He reached out and took down a round glass vessel from the display shelf. He vigorously shook the silver liquid in the glass container inside. The silver liquid inside was as heavy as mercury. 's, swirling in the glassware as the Francis scholar shook them.

"Are these mithril solutions? Scholar Francis." I asked him curiously, looking at the silver liquid in the glass container.

I didn’t expect that Scholar Francis actually had a prepared mithril solution here.

Scholar Francis frowned, scratched his messy hair vigorously, and said to me: "This is not yet a mithril solution, but it is almost the same."

I looked at him in astonishment, what did this mean?

Scholar Francis took me to his test bench and pulled out a drawing filled with various magic formulas from the pile of magic formulas on the test bench. Just looking at the complicated equations above, I feel like my two years at the Royal Academy of Magic seem to have been in vain. Otherwise, why can't I understand all the symbols on the parchment of Scholar Francis?

Scholar Francis spread out the parchment, pointed to the runes on it and said to me: "The promising alchemist master proposed a new point of view at the last alchemy seminar, which is that two metals of the same type with close similarity are fused together. At the same time, a new type of magic metal can be obtained. This magic metal not only has the characteristics of two magic metals, but also has a high chance of acquiring new characteristics during the fusion process. "

Could it be that the metal solution in the glass bottle is a new type of magic metal? I thought secretly in my heart.

Scholar Francis continued: "Originally, I wanted to use mithril and thorium to fuse together to become a new magic metal. These metal solutions were made of 70% mithril and 30% thorium. The new magic metal formed by smelting silver together, but I did not use traditional smelting at the time. Instead, I converted the two magic metals into a metal solution and then mixed them together in proportion."

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

Because of its good magic conductivity, the magicians of the Green Empire like to use mithril to make rune boards. However, the metal properties of thorium and mithril are completely different. Although thorium's magic conductivity is average, it is a kind of strength, It is a magic metal with extremely high hardness, yield strength, fatigue resistance, and magic load capacity. In other words, thorium is a metal that is more suitable for making weapons than magic black iron, but thorium is not suitable for making talismans. Wenban.

In the magic market, the price of thorium is several times higher than that of magic black iron. Moreover, the inventory of thorium in the magic market is not large, and it is not a mainstream magic metal in the magic market.

Scholar Francis rarely introduces his works with such diligence. Many times he just hands me the metal solution and lets me leave.

He introduced this new magic metal in such detail, which made me feel a little curious.

At this time, I heard him continue: "This metal solution not only has good magic conductivity unique to mithril, but also has a high load unique to thorium. This silver alloy also stimulates some power of holy light, so I Calling this metallic solution holy silver solution, it is a pity that I Many methods have been tried to solidify the holy silver solution, but the effect is not very satisfactory. As long as these curing agents with obsidian powder are sprinkled on, the surface of the holy silver solution will instantly solidify into a metal hard shell, and the rest of the solidification The agent cannot penetrate it.”

It turned out that this 'holy silver solution' had a fatal flaw, so I asked: "So these holy silver solutions can only be regarded as some semi-finished products?"

Scholar Francis said to me: "Yes, I know you use these metal solutions to draw the magic rune plate, but you only cover the metal plate with a thin layer of magic metal. If it is only a thin layer, it will not affect the solidification of the holy silver solution. These holy silver solutions are actually not much different from the mithril solution, and in some aspects they are even better than the mithril solution. If you can use them, you can take these holy silver solutions away."

"Are you sure that the metal curing agent can solidify this holy silver solution, even if it is only a thin layer?" I hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be better to ask this matter in person.

Scholar Francis did not answer directly, but directly pulled out the cap of the glassware and poured the holy silver solution into a metal tray. He handed me this fist-sized glassware, which still had half a bottle of holy silver solution in it. Then he found a box of curing agent powder from the display shelf behind him, and he took out a little curing agent powder and sprinkled it on the holy silver solution in the tray.

The liquid holy silver solution in the tray solidified quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like wax dripped on a candlestick. Now a layer of shiny silver shell condensed on the surface. Francis scholar uncovered the shell on the surface of the holy silver solution, and the holy silver solution underneath was really not solidified at all.

Whether it is mithril or thorium, the holy light power attribute contained in these magic metals is implicit, but this piece of holy silver sheet actually exudes a faint holy light power. Although it is still very weak, it is at least explicit, and it is much stronger than the holy light power contained in the original mithril and thorium.

This holy silver solution seems to be tailor-made for me, but I still can't figure out the intention of Francis scholar to sell this holy silver solution to me.

I held the bottle of holy silver solution in my hand and said to Francis: "Scholar Francis, I can use this holy silver solution. Next time I will bring the silver needed to make the holy silver solution!"

After hearing what I said, Scholar Francis said to the magic assistant beside him: "Ten pieces of mithril ingots can probably smelt about twenty bottles of holy silver solution. Eddie, hurry up and get the scale."

"Okay, Mr. Francis!" A magic assistant immediately put down the parchment notebook in his hand and quickly brought a scale from the cabinet in the corner.

Seeing the scale on the table, Francis said with some distress:

"Since returning from the alchemy exchange meeting, I have been doing experiments in this area. I originally wanted to combine fine gold and krypton finance, ahem, but... you know, this is impossible. Bruce would never approve me to do such a crazy thing, so I changed the title of the research project to "Mithril and Thorium". At least this research went smoothly at the beginning. I thought it was because the ratio between Mithril and Thorium was wrong that the holy silver solution could not solidify, so I kept adjusting the ratio of Mithril and Thorium..."

As he said, Francis took me to the warehouse on the side of the magic laboratory.

Only the laboratories of great scholars like Francis and Sindki are equipped with warehouses. When Francis opened the door of the warehouse, I thought I saw it wrong. Then I rubbed my eyes hard and found that it was not a double image in front of me, but all the shelves were actually full of glass bottles. Those fist-sized glass bottles were lying on wooden pallets, filled with holy silver solution... Well, a whole warehouse.

When Scholar Francis saw me standing in front of the warehouse, he smiled awkwardly for the first time. He scratched his messy hair and said to me, "Bruce stopped this research halfway through. I was a little excited at the time, so I didn't listen to Bruce's advice and continued to receive a batch of mithril and thorium from the Magic Research Institute. It wasn't until these holy silver solutions filled the entire warehouse that I realized that the currently known curing agents could not solidify these holy silver solutions at all."

"So... Scholar Francis, you received some excess mithril and thorium from the research institute in your personal name?" I asked him.

Scholar Francis nodded.

I finally knew why Francis was troubled.

I didn't say anything else. I came out of the laboratory of Scholar Francis and ran directly to the magic trading hall on the first floor of the Tower of Pride. I cleared out all the stocks of mithril and thorium in all the magic metal shops. I spent almost four boxes of magic crystals on this, which made the magic shop owners almost think that there was some bad news from those planes, so they were frantically hoarding mithril.

Although I bought nearly two thousand mithril and thorium ingots in the magic trading hall, I only cleared out one-third of the holy silver solution in the warehouse of Scholar Francis. I originally planned to buy the remaining holy silver solution directly with magic crystals, but I didn't expect that Scholar Francis would find it troublesome and was only willing to exchange one-third of the holy silver solution. He would rather keep the remaining holy silver solution in the warehouse.

...

Then I came to the magic laboratory of Scholar Yekis.

Half a month ago, scholar Yekis held an inscription design conference in the exhibition hall on the first floor of the Imperial Capital Inscription Union headquarters building. In addition to further explaining in detail the design drawings of the three top-level magic pattern structures of the first turn, "Demon Serpent's Fang", "Giant Bear's Power" and "Earth Shield", he also announced his latest research results to the inscription masters in the Imperial Capital - "Low-wear Magic Pattern Array".

I have read this academic paper. The main point of the Yekis scholar in this academic paper is that everyone has magic adaptability, that is, every ordinary person also contains certain magic elements in his body, but the properties of these magic powers vary from person to person. Some people are born with affinity to water elements, so his body contains a small amount of water element magic power, and some people are born with affinity to earth elements, so his body contains earth element magic power, but these magic powers are very few and cannot be expressed.

He believes that changing the traditional magic pattern array can reduce the consumption of magic power, and this low-wear magic pattern array is made into a magic pattern structure, which can be drawn on ordinary people and absorb the mana contained in the person. This means that the magic pattern structure can be drawn on ordinary people, but this greatly increases the difficulty of drawing the magic pattern array, so this designed magic pattern array is only theoretically reasonable.

Even so, the Yekis scholar's paper caused an uproar in the imperial capital.

This summer, magic items for daily use have been hot-selling in the imperial capital. Whether it is exhaust fans, copper hot pots, refrigerators, etc., they have almost been accepted by the people of the imperial capital. The reason why these magic items are accepted by the people of the imperial capital is nothing more than the continuous plane wars that have caused the price of magic crystals to continue to fall, and the prices of these primary magic rune plates have been greatly reduced.

When I talked to Scholar Yekis about the matter of Scholar Francis, Scholar Yekis nodded without comment.

"I have heard about this matter from Bruce a long time ago. In fact, the research institute has long known that the mithril and thorium in the warehouse have been consumed, but they have remained silent about Francis, which means that the research institute is actually unwilling to bear this part of the loss, but it will not blame Francis too much..." said Scholar Yekis.

He raised his eyebrows and asked me curiously: "But haven't your giant crossbow arrows always been engraved with magic copper? Why do you suddenly want to use mithril this time?"

I told the Yekis scholar about the changes that happened on the Pai Plateau. The Yekis scholar frowned and asked me: "Are you going to provide weapons and equipment to the orc tribe on the Pai Plateau?"

I nodded.
