Ever since Master Nicol had promised Izumi to go to him for a solution, Izumi had been running to Master Nicol's residence almost every three days.

In this regard, the teachers of Izumi's other courses were a little dissatisfied, and in their opinion, since Izumi was their student, it was not a good thing to take a leave of absence for three days and two ends.

In response, they lodged their own protest with Her Majesty Queen Miranda.

"We don't have a problem with His Highness liking alchemy, but other courses shouldn't be perfunctory."

Naturally, Miranda agreed, and she ordered someone to find the spring and speed up the teachers' intentions to him.

After hearing this, Izumi realized that what he had done in the past few days was indeed a little excessive, and he immediately reflected on his mistakes: "I know, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

After that, he discussed with Miranda, made some changes to the daily curriculum, and became more restrained when he went to Master Nicol, and even if he visited, he would not stay too long and miss the time to go back.

Nico is a master alchemist, he spends most of his time in the laboratory, although he himself said that he will rest for a while after this experiment, but after a few days of repairing at home, he will return to the laboratory - in fact, he left the laboratory this time only because the materials needed for the experiment are not enough, he has to wait for the familiar supplier to send enough materials before he can continue the experiment, so he will go home to rest, and now that the materials are ready, he will naturally go back to the laboratory.

It was very rare that Master Nicol invited Izumi when he returned to the laboratory.

"Would you like to go to my lab?"

Izumi was a little surprised when he was invited, and then happily accepted his invitation.

As a world-famous master alchemist, the royal family of Butlanth treats Nicol very highly, as can be seen from his luxurious laboratory.

This was the first time Izumi had seen a magician's laboratory, unlike the laboratory that was full of various instruments but very neat, Nicol's laboratory was large, but the contents were also very messy, full of bottles and cans and all kinds of tools that I didn't know the purpose of, materials from plants and monsters, unknown ores and even precious gems were everywhere, and some were even thrown on the table without being cleaned up at all.

"There's only one person in this lab, and since you want to learn alchemy, start by helping me sort it out." Nicol said lightly.

Izumi knew that he had agreed to teach himself in disguise, so he nodded his head and agreed.

Out of some unspeakable guilt, Nicol ignored Electrolux's remarks about Izumi, only to explicitly warn them that Izumi was the only one to clean up the place, and no one else was allowed to touch it.

Izumi didn't have a problem with this, and although he wanted Electrolux to do something he liked without having to follow him all the time, Electrolux insisted on following him, and there seemed to be nothing else interested in him.

Persuasion was fruitless, so I had to let it go.

Thanks to the blessing of packing up the laboratory, Izumi learned a lot of alchemical materials that he could only see in books before, and among them there were a few very familiar stones.

Most of these familiar stones are diamond-shaped gemstones—yellow gems that seem to be wrapped in flames in the middle; Gemstones as blue as water with a little bubbles; A gemstone that appears to glow in the center of translucency, a green gem with a thunder pattern on the surface.

In addition, there are two other kinds that Izumi is familiar with: orange-red stones, which are shaped like the sun and the color of the sun; The surface has leaf patterns, which look like fossilized stones.

The names Izumi knows are the Stone of Fire, the Stone of Water, the Stone of Light, the Stone of Light, the Stone of Light, the Stone of Sun, and the Stone of Leaves.

All of these six are evolution stones that allow specific elves to evolve.

This discovery is really a surprise, whether it is the unhatched children of the wind speed dog, the Kati dogs, or the lily root dolls of Anjieya, they all need evolution stones to evolve, although it is okay not to evolve, but it is undeniable that the evolved elves are more powerful (except for the skin god), and many elves' tricks can only be learned after evolution, so if he can, he still hopes that those newborns can evolve in the future.

He took these familiar stones and asked Nicole: "Master, where did these stones come from?" ”

Nicol glanced up at the item in his hand, "I bought it from the auction house." ”

Electrolux replaced Nico and introduced to Izumi: "This is an evolution gem, it is only found in the Magic Forest, it is said that it is a gem that can allow Warcraft to evolve, and Charles, the owner of the caravan before, carried this gem, and the reason why we encountered so many attacks from Warcraft on the way from Kabia to Corot is also because of it." ”

Hearing Electrolux help explain, Nicol only added: "This gem is indeed very attractive to magical beasts, but it is also a good alchemy material. ”

There are a lot of places where gem powder needs to be used in alchemy, and these evolution gems are more effective than ordinary gems, so Nicol will buy a few and reserve them, although he has also tried to study whether the legend of the evolution gem is true, but there is no progress, so he gave up.

"Are there any other types of this gemstone? How much does it cost? Izumi asked.

Ni could see that he was very interested in the evolution gem, so he said: "There are a total of nine kinds of evolution gems found so far, and the price of a single gem is about five thousand gold coins, and the rare ones are more expensive. ”

Izumi gasped, he didn't expect the evolution stone to be so expensive, one was five times more expensive than the land he had bought, it was simply scary.

But come to think of it, the evolution gem itself is extremely rare, it can only be found in the magic forest, and it is bought and sold as a gem, so the price is naturally not low.

Seeing that Izumi seemed to be interested in evolving gems, Electrolux whispered to him, "Your Majesty's treasury should have such gems." ”

He asked him to go to his father to ask for some, Izumi remembered the Awakening Stone on the Holy Grail that had the effect of identifying the royal bloodline, he should have understood that there was an Evolution Stone here when he saw it, but then there were too many things and he forgot about it.

But if he asked his father to ask for an evolution stone, Quan couldn't open his mouth, how embarrassing was such a valuable thing.

But for a descendant of a great aristocratic family like Electrolux and an alchemist like Nicol, who grinds gems into powder at every turn, a few evolution gems are really nothing. Not much for his father, who had the wealth of a country.

So the spring didn't go, and Electrolux, who was in a hurry, went to Raymond himself and asked for a box of evolution stones.

It's really a box, and the nine evolution stones that are currently known are all in it, and when Izumi saw it, he only thought it was a box full of gold coins.

"Your Majesty asked me to tell you that these gems were brought in by the subjects, and it is useless to put them in the vault, if you need them, he still has them in the vault, and you can go and get them at any time."

A little gem, it's really nothing to Raymond. If it weren't for the fact that this gem is easy to attract monsters, these evolution gems would not have been placed in the vault to be ashes, but given to Miranda for jewelry.

Izumi looked at the evolution gems in the box, and sure enough, it was the same as the nine evolution stones he knew, he thought about it and only took out the Sun Stone and Fire Stone inside, put them away separately, and then went to Raymond with the remaining gems.

When Raymond heard that he had come to return the Evolution Gem, he glanced at Electrolux rather unexpectedly before asking, "Don't you want it?" ”

"I'll just need two of them for now." Izumi opened the box and showed it to Raymond, proving that he had indeed taken two pieces, "The Fire Stone is very useful for the babies of the Wind Speed Dog, and the Sun Stone can make the Lily Root Doll evolve, so Dad, you can give me a few more Fire Stones, and the rest will be of little use to me." ”

Electrolux introduced to him that although the purpose of the evolution gems here is unknown, because the difference in appearance is very obvious, they also have their own names, and the names are similar to those of the PM world.

As if he had heard terrible news again, Raymond raised his eyebrows, and summoned his personal butler to ask him to fetch all the evolution gems in the vault, and then asked Izumi: "Listen to what you mean, do you know how evolution gems are used?" ”

"I don't know about it." Izumi explained: "That is, the Wind Speed Dog Lily Root Doll, which is a magical beast that I am familiar with, as long as I let them wear an evolution gem, they will naturally evolve, but I don't know about other magical beasts." ”

This is already a big breakthrough, and the word less lets him know that evolution gems can indeed be evolved, "When are they going to be worn?" Always with it or at a specific time? ”

"It's okay, generally you don't require a level, but if you evolve too early, you won't learn a lot of abilities, which will affect your future development." Izumi said in a general way.

I don't know much, but I know a little bit about it, and it's enough for Raymond.

In fact, Raymond had already discovered that the magical beasts in Izumi were actually different from those in the Magical Forest, but Izumi didn't say that he wasn't going to ask, just pretended that he didn't know.

Soon the Evolution Gems were delivered, and hundreds of gems were brought in by the servants in more than a dozen boxes.

Izumi only picked out five fire stones from inside.

Raymond was generous and only said: "Pick it all up, these are all for you, if you can help me figure out how to make other monsters use the evolution gem as well." ”

Quan had a whim: "Is Dad preparing to raise demonic beasts?" ”

"See?" Raymond smiled and said his plan, "It is true that there is this plan, the combat effectiveness of the Warcraft is very strong, with you and your tree fruits, it is not impossible to tame them, if everything goes well, I plan to form a Warcraft army, so that when the beast tide comes, we will also rely on it more." Especially flying monsters, if you have them, it will be very convenient whether you are in a hurry or send a message. ”

I have also heard of some things about the beast tide, as little as a few years or as long as more than ten years, the demonic beasts in the Magic Forest will leave the forest on a large scale to attack the human settlements, and every time it happens, it will cause a very big loss.

This has been going on for thousands of years, but until now no one knows what caused the formation of the beast tide.
