Chapter 0202: Alchemy is a Hot Study (Fifth Update, Alliance Leader Supplement 4/22)
Magic books are not the same as knights.
The knight is a story book created by a down-and-out aristocrat in order to earn living expenses for a wide range of readers, pursuing fun, refreshing and bizarre.
Magic books are very similar to treatises, mostly sorcerers' research reports and lab notes.
Most of the magic books are very poorly readable, and some are even upside down and logically confusing. The quality of the printing was also relatively poor, and even many magic books were circulated in manuscripts - not many people wanted to buy them, so naturally they could not afford to send them to the publisher for printing.
Fifty-six magic books sent by Elkeson.
Twenty-one of them are manuscripts.
""Eighteen Red Pit Viper Island Red Pit Viper Venom Refining Diary - Slight Truth, is this kind of book really worth reading?" he looked at the manuscript in his hand and felt that it was a bit of a loss, such a book actually cost two silver coins, "Forget it, I should have bought a manual on snake venom." ”
After turning a few pages, he lost patience and slipped the book into the gem space.
Continue to the next codex.
Fredo's Fireball, a book that tells you how to unleash your fireball and improve your fireball craft. The author, Fredo Truth, turned out to be just an apprentice magician, and the only magic he knew was fireball. The book records that he tried more than 100 ways to cast spells in order to expand his fireball technique.
Eventually, he improved the Fireball Technique, allowing it to be rubbed out through the back of his hand.
He called this improvement an epoch-making step forward, believing that he would surely lead to the advent of the Age of Magic.
Unfortunately, this is a second-hand book, and there is another magician's impression at the back of the book. The mage sneered disdainfully: "When you advance to the level of mage, you will understand that any part of the body can be used as a medium for spellcasting, the difference is that the palm of the hand casts spells faster. ”
"So this book is a negative textbook?" Liszt was rather speechless and threw it directly into the gem space.
Constantly looking back and forth, most of the manuscript magic books are relatively strange experimental contents, which have no value, and are more suitable for padding table legs.
When he turned to the last manuscript, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
The title of the book is "Kennedy's Alchemy Diary".
"Another alchemy diary!" Liszt instantly remembered the shipwreck treasure he had obtained, "At the beginning, there was also an alchemy diary in the box, which seemed to be called "Rudolph's Alchemy Diary", and it was also a handwritten cover snake script. It seems that it was also a manuscript magic book. ”
Restraining his emotions, he began to flip through the diary.
The author is a newly advanced magician who uses many methods to channel magic, trying to turn a stone into gold under the influence of magic. For this reason, he even melted down the only seven gold coins he had, and in order to observe the difference between gold coins and stones, he still did not find a way to turn stones into gold.
So, it's also a negative textbook that keeps failing.
Closing the book, Liszt got up directly, went to the Valley of Flames plus workshop, and found Elkeson: "Do magicians like to study alchemy?"
Elkeson put down his work and explained: "Baron Liszt, the triangle theory is a truth recognized by magicians, so we always hope to find the most direct evidence to prove the truth of this theory. The best proof of this is the turning of stones into gold. ”
"Why?"
"Because the process of turning stone into gold can be broken down into two sets of steps. First the stone of the substance, with the help of magic, into spirit, and again with the help of magic, the spirit into material gold. Therefore, turning stones into gold will rigorously verify the correctness of the triangle theory, which is one of the ideals that our magicians have pursued all their lives. ”
"That's the case. Liszt felt a little conflicted, "Has the research been successful?"
"I don't know, but many magicians believe that there were real alchemists in ancient times who could smelt stones into gold. ”
"Why do you have to choose to turn stones into gold, if you want to verify the triangle theory and refine the properties of other items, can't you too?"
Elkeson smiled: "Baron Liszt, your understanding may be biased, alchemy is just a general term, and turning stones into gold is one of the most popular." Because we magicians need a lot of money to do experiments, we all like to study and turn stones into gold, and we want to get enough wealth. ”
He spread his hands a little helplessly: "But it's not that no one has refined other items, it's just that none of them have succeeded...... When I first became a magician, I chose to study alchemy, but I finally gave up. ”
Roughly understand what alchemy is all about.
Slightly disappointed, Liszt then asked, "So, many magicians create an alchemical diary?"
"Yes. ”
"Okay, you keep working, I won't bother you anymore. He was just about to go out when he turned around again, "Have you studied the bone fragments I handed you over?"
"I haven't had time to research yet. ”
"Research as soon as possible, I'm curious about this fragment. ”
"Of course, as long as I have free time. He shook the crystal tube in his hand, meaning that he needed to make the Valley of Flames magic potion first.
......
Back at the castle, Liszt sighed.
Because of the decay of "Rudolph's Alchemy Diary", the knot in his heart has also disappeared. It turns out that magicians like to tinker with alchemy and write alchemy diaries.
If it had been refined, it would not have been circulated in the form of a manuscript.
That magician will become a sacrosanct existence in the hearts of all magicians, shoulder to shoulder with the sun. I'm afraid that the dragon knights will fight for him.
The knot dissolves.
Although it is easy to feel relaxed, it also shows that alchemy is probably just a beautiful imagination.
Countless magicians have studied alchemy one after another, but in the end they have not obtained any useful information, which shows the difficulty of alchemy, and it continues to be a dream to get rich overnight.
For him, it also means that dreams are shattered.
After struggling for a moment, he quickly adjusted his mentality: "Forget it, I'm not a magician, what kind of alchemy do I study." "Throw the Kennedy Alchemy Diary into the gem space.
Go ahead and flip through the next magic book.
The manuscript has been read, and the rest is in print.
There are three possibilities for a magic book that can be printed. One is that the author has the money to print at his own expense, one is that the book is valuable and the magician is willing to buy it, and the other is that the book is interesting and the nobles are willing to buy it.
"The Market Price of Wild Elven Insects", "The Blind Wind Blade Wolf King", "How to Survive the Midoro Mangroves Safely", "Stories of the White Tower in the Highlands - Carrick Truth", ......
These magic books are obviously of much better quality than manuscripts.
Liszt picked up the "Wild Elven Insect Market Price" and read it with relish, and the magician who wrote the book lived in the capital of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, the Iron City. There is a large wild elf trading market, and magicians go to the market every day to observe those wild elves.
"Interestingly, a Venus Venus Insect sold for 3,600 gold coins, because the City of Steel is flooded with mosquitoes and flies, and Venus flytraps are in short supply. ”
