Chapter 17: Alchemy
Adams had been sitting in his room for the past few days, feeling like he was about to be forgotten.
Aside from the fact that servants brought him food on time every day, the entire Camster family was focused on the upcoming Templar apprenticeship tryout, so no one had spoken to him again.
Jim was learning swords with the Baron every day, and Enric was busy as a sparring partner, and as for Lillian, the Baron's youngest daughter would bring water and food to her lovely little lover every day, and would not leave for a moment.
In fact, Adams had wanted to get past Jim's light, and if he was lucky enough to learn a trick or two, he would be able to show off to others in the future, but when he saw the old baron whip on the back of Anlek, who was not in the right pose, Adams went back in disgrace. Our bodies can't stand this sin.
With nothing else to do, he began to study magic again, but with little success.
In fact, there is progress, but if he has been practicing at this speed, then by the time he releases his first spell, he will no longer know that it is the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.
He had also asked Enlek if he had any magic books to lend him a look at, but the latter gave him a harsh look, telling him that the Camster family was unwilling to touch the void energy, and only willing to realize the height of swordsmanship through hard work. He then suggested that Adams go to the magic shop in the city and ask.
After the haughty shopkeeper quoted the price of a standard magic apprenticeship book from Tronnie, Adams shut his mouth and came back without looking back.
In fact, there were originally many magic schools in the Kingdom of Suan, but since the doctrine of the Mother Earth God rose from Tahrir City, the power of the magic schools has gradually been dispersed to the west of the kingdom, and all the magic-related industries here have naturally gradually declined.
There's a reason for that, and the Clerkship is undoubtedly a more enjoyable profession than a magic apprentice.
To be honest, the apprentice magic of the Magic Apprentice is really weak and pitiful, and most of them have the shortcomings of single attack means and poor hit rate, and the actual effect may not be as good as that of the Trainee Warrior or Trainee Ranger.
Apprentice Priests have multiple auxiliary abilities and can even make simple recalls, which is important for a team. Compared with the magic apprentices of weak chickens, it is easy to see which is better and which is inferior.
"Oslav", Adams called out to the pale wand in his heart, "Are magic books really so expensive?
"Dear master, knowledge is priceless, except for the basics. The wand lazily replied, in fact, while the so-called standard magic apprentice book was not worth mentioning in its eyes, it really didn't know the price.
But then it came up with an idea: "Master, doesn't your friend Jim have some gold coins on him, you ask him to come over, anyway, he has found a good backer now, and he doesn't need gold so much, does he?" ”
Adams pouted: "What do you know", he said blindly, "A man's money should be spent on a woman, not to mention that the young couple is still in love, and Jim's gold is still where it can be used, maybe flowers or jewelry, but certainly not a magic book." ”
Of course, he didn't tell Oslav that he was actually embarrassed to speak, after all, he had already rejected Jim's kindness before, and now it would be a bit ...... to go back on his word
So Adams then went on to talk nonsense: "Don't you know that there was once a great spiritual magic master named Maslow who once said that sex is the lowest level of basic needs of human beings? ”
My politics lessons were really not in vain, Adams thought to himself.
Osslav became thoughtful, it was obviously a little incomprehensible to it, what could be more important than the pursuit of the truth of magic, and it had never heard of the name of the so-called Archmage Maslow, not even of psychic magic.
Alas, humans are really troublesome creatures.
After hesitating for a moment, the Pale Wand spoke again, "Actually, it's not impossible for the master to skip the magic sensing stage and use magic directly. ”
Adamston was interested, "Oh, let's see what to do." ”
"Master, do you know alchemy, it is a special existence that is different from ordinary spell-casting techniques, it can achieve the purpose of making magic items by transforming matter and inscribed magic circles. ”
Interestingly, this so-called alchemy does not seem to be much different from the alchemy described in the fictional biographies of the earth. Roughly feeling the many alchemical knowledge that suddenly came to his mind, Adams nodded secretly.
"Master, don't you have a soul crystal on your body, this is actually a kind of magic crystal in a sense, through alchemy, we can engrave the magic circle in it, and then I inject magic into it, so as to make it into a strange thing that can directly use the magic engraved inside, but it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that the soul energy in it must be emptied, and due to the poor material, it can only be injected with magic of the second ring and below, and it will be scrapped after using it once. It paused, then continued, "The most important thing is that we still lack an alchemy device. ”
This sounds like a loss, and where are you going to get this set of alchemy equipment? Adams was a little discouraged.
"Actually, I know that there is an alchemy technique called blood refining, through blood refining, the refining effect can also be achieved, and more importantly, it only requires spiritual power from the caster", hearing Adams's question, Osslav hurriedly spoke.
It has been waiting for this moment.
In the past few days of observation, Oslav has long been suspicious of Adams's identity.
If the other party is really a legendary mage who loves to play, there is no need to set himself up with a weak appearance that he can't even sense his magic clearly. If it's to increase the difficulty, wouldn't it be more desirable to go to the realm of touching the gods to the next level?
But Osslav didn't dare to act rashly, after all, Adams's body was full of weirdness, so in the past two days, it pondered and meditated, rummaged through its own evil knowledge reserves, and finally found the evil technology of blood refining from demons.
If the other party is strong, it will naturally not be able to make any waves, but if the other party is really just a lucky hairy boy, then it will naturally leak out of the horse's feet, and the hope of escaping from control will come.
A technology that can be made without the use of an alchemy device? Adamston was interested.
"How?" he asked with interest.
"At midnight at the end of the month, when the blood moon is high, a prayer ceremony is held to the river of brimstone, offering the blood of the essence and asking for the blessing of the Lord of the Abyss......"
