Chapter 254: Alchemy

In the face of the oppression of the aristocracy, in fact, the real pain is never in the body, but in the insensitive mind and the body that has long lost its soul.

Lu En laughed out loud at the sight of a new soul, ecstatic, and cleared his doubts and steadfastly on the path.

And Angie looked at the ...... in front of her a little strangely I don't know what it's called.

In fact, she has been worried in her heart, although she is talking big, but after all, her life and life are actually in the hands of the other party, and this adult ...... It seems a little abnormal.

There may be a little problem mentally, usually a restrained and gentle appearance, just suddenly laughing so madly, looking at his own eyes have changed, his eyes are burning...... But I'm not pretty, I don't even have legs......

But his temperament suddenly changed.

It was as if the dust that had been covering him had been swept away, and the reason why he felt this way was because Angie had experienced it before, and when Fili's illness was cured, she could also feel this emotion from her sister's body.

She has had this talent since she was a child, and she can subtly perceive the emotions in other people's hearts, but she can only feel a little bit when the other party's emotions are intense.

But today, this feeling seems to be particularly intense, when the kind gentleman in front of him sings, although he can't understand what he sings, it should be another language, but he can still feel the strong indignation and desire to resist in it, causing something in his body to move! I can't wait to rush out.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, so that Anji couldn't help but twist her body, not up or down.

Seeing her sister like this, Fili was a little strange, thinking that she was uncomfortable, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

And Lu En didn't care about the two little girls anymore, because at this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

After the knock on the door, before Lu En could say please come in, the door was pushed open.

As if there was no lock, it was easily pushed open, and a well-proportioned, delicate-looking young man walked in, with dark skin, big white teeth, and a bright and sunny smile, in Lu En's words, like an Arab youth.

"Hey, I heard from them, you're called the King of Monsters?" The sunny young man looked up and asked.

"Yes, it's me." Lu En replied.

And Anji, with a bang in her heart, the thing that was about to move came out of her body! Some kind of strong emotion rushed straight into her mind.

Lu En and the sunny young man both noticed this, but without waiting for the other party to say anything, Lu En directly stepped forward and gently closed the balcony door, and then invited the young man to sit down in the middle of the living room of the hotel room.

"My name is Lieta, I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've only heard of you for half an hour, and I don't know what to call you?" Rieta smiled and showed a mouthful of big white teeth, as if he was a friend, and grinned at Lu En.

"Just call me the Demon King." Lu En replied.

"Your hobby is a bit peculiar, but luckily, that girl has awakened her skills and is very talented." Letta was the first to start the conversation on a topic that wasn't very important, and he still seemed relaxed and uninhibited.

"Awakening? I prefer to call it, learning. Lu En leaned back in his chair and was not in a hurry to get into the subject.

"Indeed, learning is more appropriate! You are very insightful! Rieta's eyes lit up.

He immediately added, "I heard that you are Magic 9, and that you have communicated with the Great Mentor on an equal footing, the Great Mentor is an important learning experience in my life, and I am happy to serve you, but I hope to get the reward I deserve from you. ”

Lu En nodded: "What do you want?" I'm sure you can't look at ordinary gold coins. ”

And I don't have any regular gold coins. He added in his heart.

"I'm sure you must know, I'm refining the holy relics, and the military dog who picked me up said that you are the only one in the entire empire who can help me get the materials of the holy relics at no cost." Leta got to the point, and the smile on his face subsided a little.

"Until then, mind talking about it...... What are the relics? Lu En knocked on the table: "I don't know much about alchemy, and I don't know much about the alchemy products of this frontier stage. ”

"Of course no problem, after all, you have a good chance of becoming my sponsor, and you should also be very knowledgeable and talented, and you should be able to understand." Rieta nodded.

Then he began to explain: "First of all, we need to understand what the celestial realm is, of course, I am not talking about the essence of the celestial realm, I am referring to the symbolic meaning of the celestial realm in alchemy. ”

"The essence of alchemy is the transformation of matter, the original alchemy was born from the idea of turning lead into gold, it is an attempt to transform one substance into another, since then, we understand that everything flows, life is endless, water will turn into ice, ore will become fine iron, nature itself can do such things, what we do is essentially catalysis, we accelerate the passage of time, so that one substance is faster and more efficient into another, we can turn water into two different gases, Turning wood into charcoal, turning fuel into fire, and the natural environment will happen, but it will take many years, and we only need a few minutes. ”

"In the world model of traditional alchemy, the heavenly realm refers to the eternal and unchanging substance, which is particularly special, in the pursuit of the alchemy of all things flowing and endless, the eternal and unchanging substance is the ultimate goal of alchemical change, an eternal and unchanging, and does not interact with any existence, this substance is obtained through change, but it is independent of everything, supreme, is the only truth pursued by our generation, and remains eternal and unchanged in the changing world, which is the alchemy of the 'heavenly realm'." Rieta explained to Luen.

"However, during the eruption of magic technology six hundred years ago, the academic school led by the Great Mentor Daedalus reformed alchemy and gave birth to the unprecedented alchemy.8 Of course, the master was dead and killed, but they overthrew the world model of traditional alchemy during their lifetime, believing that the eternal and unchanging matter represented by the heavenly realm was spirit."

"The Great Master claims that the heavenly realm is a purely spiritual world, and that the immutable substance pursued by alchemy is spirit." When Rieta said this, there was longing in his eyes.

"This is anti-common sense and anti-intuition, spirit itself is not matter, how can it be part of the material transformation of alchemy? But when you think about it, it's right! Lita became agitated and even danced a little as she said this.

"Think about it! We ourselves are material, you, me, the two women outside, all the people on the street, are material, no one says that they are not, all living creatures are made of matter, and we, as matter, should also be in the flow of matter, but we can generate thinking, and then from thinking produce spirit! ”

"That's the first point of something that is immutable, it comes from something that circulates and doesn't change itself! This is conclusive evidence, because spirit comes from us and is made of matter, so spirit is born from matter! ”

"This argument directly led to Master Valut's successful promotion to level 8 and an unprecedented alchemy master!"

And from this, this leads to the second point! Only living matter, that is, us, can give birth to spirit from us! So what is life? In the process of change and circulation, what kind of changes does life participate in in order to give birth to spirit from a pile of matter?! ”

Then, he sat down regretfully, and his tone was very depressed: "So far, no one has been able to come up with an answer, some people say that maybe it is because of the birth of thinking, thinking is the key to the transformation of matter into spirit, but how to refine pure thinking, especially pure thinking that does not include any soul, is still a technical problem, you should not understand this, I will not talk about it, anyway, you can't understand." ”

Lu En bowed slightly, indicating that he really didn't understand.

And Rieta raised her head again and said happily, "And the holy relics are my tools for refining pure thoughts!" As long as I refine a true holy relic, I will be able to extract from the bones of the deceased saints of the Church, the thoughts that still remain today, and thus know the mystery of the transformation of matter into mind and then into spirit! Put the last brick on the entire Alchemic Tower! As we all know, as long as the density is increased, the subtle matter can finally be condensed into a solid substance, creating a physical spirit, and in this way, I can even forge an artificial heavenly realm! With this, I will be promoted to level 8, and if all goes well, I may even become the first alchemy level 9 in the world! Master all the mysteries of alchemy! With a wave of your hand, you can complete the miracle of turning a stone into gold! ”

"And all this is also very simple, I only need you to provide me with materials, and I will work for you during this period, and I will not delay your affairs because of my research, just like what I did for those nobles, whether it is refining a colorless and tasteless poison that can poison your brothers and sisters, or a divine oil that can make people strong and not wilt up overnight, or an elixir that makes you more attractive at the banquet, I must do these better than those charlatans, Tong Suo."

"And if you are more ambitious, I also have something else, not to mention the potion of longevity, and I will also be a little bit of long-range curse, and I can't handle the magic equipment for self-defense for the time being, because I don't have a craftsman level, but I will do amulets, and I will also plan murder and theft, I used this trick to sneak into Havar to sneak attack the saint, and by the way, I stole the remains of a saint, which will definitely help you a lot." Leta began to sell herself.

"No, have you forgotten? I'm Magic 9, I can do simple potions and magic equipment myself, and I can't use it for self-defense, and the constant accident skills on my body will definitely save my life. Lu interrupted his boasting and put forward his own conditions.

"First, I need you to create a puppet prosthetic for me, what you see is the two children outside, of course, you can figure out the materials yourself."

"Huh?" Leta showed an incredulous expression: "It's the first time I've met an employer like you, other nobles are all in charge of materials, if you want the horses to run, you have to give the horses grass, right?" ”

"Of course I'll give you grass, I'll give you more things, the materials for the relics, I'll help you get them, and I'll give you more, of course, what I want you to do is not just those things like stealing chickens and dogs, getting into bed, and getting into the car." Lu En crossed his hands and said bluntly, "I will give you Daedalus's handbook." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lieta's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"You just ...... Say what? He asked Lu En, he heard it clearly, and he wouldn't forget it, but he still suspected that he had misheard.

"Daedalus's research handbook, as well as the materials of the Holy Remains, on the other hand, I want you to leave the empire and join me, of course, I will not actually make any restrictions on you, you can go if you want, as long as you feel that it is cost-effective." Lu En spread his hands.

"What else do you surprise me? What do you need me to do with all this? It's not the kind of indifference that comes from the Empire, you and I both know that it doesn't matter. Lieta didn't think that the king of monsters in front of him was joking, the other party wouldn't joke at this time, it was a very serious negotiation now, and only the chips that could actually be taken out would be put here to talk.

"No, it's very so-so." Lu En said.

Originally, he didn't trust this sudden alchemist so much, and he just wanted to find someone to make prosthetics for the two Anji sisters, but when he saw that the other party dared to dig the church's grave for the sake of the holy remains, he had this idea.

The fear and respect for the Church is engraved in the bones of the people of this world, and the fact that such a person can suppress this fear shows that his pursuit of alchemy is above all else, and he can give anything for it, including his life.

"Okay, okay, you say it's very so-called, then it's very so-called, I don't care, what else do you want me to do? Hurry up. Rieta was impatient, and he knew that the other party had offered a price he couldn't refuse.

The handbook of the great mentor, no researcher in the world can refuse, and the materials of the holy relics are also dreamed of, compared to it, the materials made by themselves to make the prosthetics of the puppet of two people are simply free and do not need money.

"It's very simple, I want you to do research and development, not to engage in things that only masters like you can do, I know, most of you do this, I want you to make alchemy equipment that ordinary craftsmen can build." Lu En held out a finger.

In this world, they don't care about the lower classes, the things of the nobles, the more expensive the better, the stronger the better, the more boutique the better, I wish that each one was a unique thing, so they disdain cement and don't care about the blast furnace.

For the aristocracy, the mass product is as meaningless as the life of the lower class.

"It's a strange request, but I'll say yes no matter what you say, but I'm going to look at the handbook first." Rieta's eyes lit up.
