Chapter 0110: Alchemy in Ashes

The boxes are heavy and light.

The lock is sturdy.

But this could not stop Liszt from just attaching a sword with a fighting spirit, and he broke the copper lock on the lightest box. The lock was opened, and so was the box.

There was no one else in the hall, they were all sent away by Carter's butler, and he himself walked out - there may be valuable treasures in the chest, and as a servant, he should not care.

There are many people, Carter's move, Liszt is very satisfied.

Although he believed that Carter was loyal, he could not believe that all the servants were loyal, and if they saw the treasure that they could not see, it would be troublesome to tell the public.

Wealth is not exposed.

This must be understood.

"This box is very light, very different from the others, what will it hold? or nothing?" Liszt reached out and slowly lifted the lid of the box.

Suddenly, the bright light almost blinded his eyes—the box was filled with intensely reflective white metal ores, reflecting the light that shone through the window one by one.

Blinked.

Accustomed to the scattered light, he carefully examined the white metal ore in the box. Take out an ore and weigh it in your hand, there is almost no weight, but the texture to the touch is definitely metal, cold and very hard.

"It's ......"

He had never seen such light metal, which in his perception was generally heavy.

Of course, he also knew that there was a metal that was very light, lithium, which was twice as light as water and could float on the water. But even lithium is heavier than the metal ore in his hands. Now I feel like I'm not holding a piece of metal ore, but a piece of foam.

Squeezed hard, the metal ore was not moved in the slightest.

Slashed with a sword, but it couldn't be cut, leaving only a slight mark.

"It's not foam, it's not plastic. He looked at the ore in his hand, recalled the knightly novels he had read, raised the corners of his eyebrows, and gradually smiled, "I have probably guessed what kind of metal this is, light as nothing, hard as iron...... It's magic metal—Mithril!"

In this world, metals are also gold, silver, copper, iron, and aluminum.

However, there are several special metals that are friendly to magic and are very good mana transmission materials, and they are also essential materials for building magical equipment.

There are three known magic metals - Mithril, Adamantite and Orichalcum.

Mithril is as light as nothing, pure gold is indestructible, and oraldronum is indestructible.

These three magical metals are also derived from dragons, and it is said that the Empire of Immortal Radiance has a Mithril Dragon. In knight novels, the "Silver Knights", who often appear to follow the protagonist in battle, are equipped with a bright Mithril magic armor as standard, coming and going like the wind.

"Mithril is very valuable, more precious than gold, this box of Mithril ore is worth at least one dragon coin!" Liszt licked his lips angrily.

The treasure lives up to its name!

He quickly used the Space Gem to pack all the Mithril ore into it, leaving only an empty chest. This crate of Mithril ore alone is a huge harvest. However, he has no plans to sell it, and keeps it so that he can use it to craft equipment when he needs it in the future.

Touching the red-blooded sword on his waist, he felt that the red-blooded sword should also contain a small amount of Mithril - the ability to conduct magic power is more than that of ordinary stainless steel weapons.

Even without the Dragon Gem setting, a weapon mixed with Mithril is at least a magical weapon.

"Now, look at what's in the second box...... I don't know if there is pure gold, or oralexalcum. Lister lifted his sword, gently slashed the rusty copper lock, and lifted the lid.

The smell is blowing.

I almost didn't throw him up.

Inside is a neatly stacked book. I don't know how long the books have been stored, and the smell of thick skin paper is smoky.

Hold one's breath.

Liszt saw the top book, the name of which was handwritten snake script - "Rudolph's Alchemical Diary".

"Alchemy Diary?"

His eyes flickered slightly.

Alchemists are probably a legendary profession, perhaps equivalent to chemists, or alchemists, and legend has it that they can smelt ordinary stones into gold through magical alchemy, and whoever masters the mysteries of alchemy will have wealth that rivals that of the country.

In knightly novels, the frequency of alchemists' appearances is also quite high.

It's just that in reality, there have been many people with the title of alchemist, but they have not shown real alchemy, just cheating and cheating.

Liszt, who had studied physics, did not believe in the existence of alchemy.

Of course.

In this magical world, God knows if there will really be alchemy, for example, now, he has seen a diary with the title of "alchemy".

"It can't really be that alchemy is recorded, is this to let me master the rhythm of alchemy?

Liszt felt his heart begin to beat faster.

The profession of alchemist is definitely not much worse than the top existences of dragon knights, dragon lords, magicians, and dragon slayer warriors - you can really do whatever you want if you have money.

However, just as he was about to touch the books.

The "Rudolph's Alchemy Diary", which still seemed to be legible, was shattered in an instant, and then rippled and turned into powder. Liszt's fingers ran directly through the powder and scratched an empty one.

"I ......"

There is a sentence in my heart that MMP does not know whether to talk about it or not.

In the blink of an eye, the whole box of books turned into powder, scattered into a pile at the slightest touch, and it was no longer possible to make out any handwriting, nor could it be seen what the books looked like.

The wind blew in through the window, rolled up the powder directly, and flew along with the stench.

After being stunned for a long time, Liszt came back to his senses, clutched his chest, and almost vomited blood: "My alchemy!" The thick paper book that had been stored for a long time was already decaying.

The diary that recorded alchemy also disappeared.

The heart is like a knife.

Although he felt that alchemy was unlikely to exist, when the slightest possibility of alchemy slipped out of his hands, the sense of loss still hit his soul deeply.

The chest, which was supposed to be full of intellectual treasures, became a pile of waste.

A sigh.

reluctantly put down the uncomfortable emotion: "Forget it, I am fortunate to lose my life, who knows if alchemy is really recorded in the diary." It's an windfall, and losing it isn't enough to shake my mentality, a box of Mithril ore is worth enough money. ”

After comforting himself, he carefully lifted his sword and opened the third box.

The same is the book.

On top are the covers of five books.

Liszt learned his lesson and did not touch it directly, but carefully memorized the cover of each book.

"Guide to Warcraft in the Kingdom of Steel Ridge", "Close Encounters with the Polygonal Rhino", "Fun Facts about the Glittering Tower", "Colorful Mushrooms in the Red Monkey Grove", "Fox Manor Rainy Night Terror".

The covers of these books are not handwritten snake scripts, but printed snake scripts, which are obviously published and sold in the market.

"The Glittering Tower, the Red Monkey Grove, the Fox Manor?"

He hadn't heard of these three places, but he could conclude that these three places were all places in the Iron Ridge Kingdom. Because only the Kingdom of Steel Ridge and its subjects use snake script. Including the previous Rudolph who wrote the alchemy diary, they should all be from the Iron Ridge Kingdom.

He cautiously reached for the book, hoping to turn a page.

However, it still failed, and as soon as the book was touched, it immediately turned into powder and could not be preserved.

"It's a pity, two boxes of books, how much knowledge, all gone. Liszt shook his head and looked at the last two boxes, "Are these two boxes also filled with books?"
