In line with its appearance, the interior of the store is very small, and the furnishings are a little cluttered, with several shelves scattered and piled with all kinds of goods.

From finished products to parts, to materials and various chemicals. Seeing this, Fang Cai breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed that he had not found the wrong place.

A few dwarfs were setting up ladders, busily moving these things up and down. As soon as Fang entered the shop, they were startled and stopped in unison, and at this moment, a shrill voice came from overhead:

"There's a guest coming, there's a guest coming!"

The sudden sound frightened the Paparals back and unsurprisingly knocked over the shelves behind them. As soon as the shelves toppled over, the goods on them fell to the ground in an uproar, but fortunately, the lion man reached out and held it up, so that the shelves did not fall down and hit them.

Fang was alarmed and couldn't help glaring at Parker angrily. The latter, knowing that he was in trouble, exclaimed: "The Paparals hate cramped places"

Then he walked out with the apple in his hand.

Fang apologized to the little monster not far away, but the little monster waved his hand to him to signal that it was out of the way, and then came over to clean up the scene. Fang saw that the things that fell on the ground were all worthless gadgets, and they were not easy to break, obviously, judging from this arrangement, this thing didn't happen once or twice.

When he looked up, he saw that it was a raven who had spoken earlier. The latter stood on a shelf hanging from the ceiling, which was also covered with verdant midnight vine leaves, a rare magical plant.

The flat-haired beast did not feel in the slightest trouble for himself, and after snorting his throat, he lowered his head to himself, and there he groomed his feathers very beautifully.

At this time, several other dwarfs hurriedly ran over, led the way, and said that the guests should go this way.

Led by them, Fang zigzagged along the narrow path between the shelves, and soon a high platform suddenly appeared in front of him, which was at least two meters high, and he needed to look up to see the stacks of shipping bills and ledgers and an owl on it.

Yes.

Fang rubbed his eyes to make sure he was right, it was an owl with black-rimmed glasses on its pointed beak and a bachelor's hat, and the latter pushed his glasses with his wings, poking his head out from the high platform to look at him and the tall lionman.

"It's so strange for a man and a lion, how come there are guests so early," the owl said in a strange voice, "Good afternoon, two guests, what do you need?" ”

Fang thought this was very strange.

"Hello, Mr. Owl." But he politely greeted him that at first he thought that he had seen enough of the world in this world, and no matter how strange things he saw again, he would not be surprised to be like this.

But apparently, an owl's shop is outside the list.

Even owls will open shops these days, does Aitaria still have this race? Do they really recognize the difference between a magic guide and a magic guide? Then again, the fact that owls can talk is already bizarre in itself.

"Yes ma'am," the owl not only spoke, but also corrected him earnestly. "Also, it's so strange that you can call me Lady Heathside instead of Lady Owl, not to mention that I am not an owl, but a long-eared one, see my beautiful ear feathers? It's so weird, just like not all primates are humans, it's also possible that monkeys and orangutans are the same you and monkeys and orangutans, is that weird? Also, thanks to the fact that I've learned how to classify your creatures, I have to say, it's still effective overall, but it's weird that it's not that reliable when it comes to magical creatures specifically......"

Fang was dizzy when he heard this, and hurriedly interrupted the nagging owl lady. "I see, Ms. Heatside, but I just want to buy some basic configuration blueprints, I'm not a biologist at the Alchemist, and I'm not interested in any taxonomy."

In fact, just like for Combat Tinkerers, one of the criteria by which they are judged is the number of multi-control flexible builds. An important indicator of the strength of an alchemist is the amount of base configuration design they have in reserve.

What is basic configuration design?

Among the alchemist's drawings, the walker and the clockwork elf, this type of finished design is usually a complete design. However, a complete design is often composed of multiple subsystems, such as the Pacer, which includes five subsystems: chassis, balance compensator, power, armor and skill modules.

Each of these subsystems can be said to be a basic configuration design, such as the chassis of a walker, which is actually a hexapod or quadruped spider structure, of which the spider structure is the scientific name of this configuration; As long as the design is reasonable, it is completely feasible to design a thousand-foot structure.

Just like the giant structure that Fang encountered in the elven ruins, its blade-foot structure was nothing more than an early spider structure.

In the same way, the power structure of the Clockwork Elf is called the Flutter Wing Structure in Aitalia, which is also a basic configuration. The base configuration can be replaced and combined to a certain extent, which means that if the alchemist wishes, he can add a flapping wing structure to the walker, just like Fang replaced the walker's armor with the armor of the clockwork fairy and created the 'sword' of the strange thing.

Of course, the premise of combination and substitution is that the design must be reasonable, and the design that contradicts the objective law and violates the objective law can only be a failed design. It is true that under the condition of strong enough power, some aspects of the design flaws are not irreparable, but the design idea of 'power bricks fly' is just a widely circulated joke in Aitalia after all, and it cannot be taken seriously.

On the front wall of the hall of the Korin Ishurian Artisans' General Hall is an inscription that was uttered by Oaks Steeleyebrow, the most outstanding alchemist ever made by Korin Ishurian:

For alchemists, it was designed to achieve the most efficient transformation from aetheric magic to mechanical power. ’

This is in fact the lifelong goal of alchemists.

Of course, for Fang, it is not enough to reach such a high-end field for the time being. As an alchemist, his goal now is simply to accumulate as much foundation as possible and learn more diverse configurations so that he can combine more powerful and versatile wizards and flexible builds.

This was one of the basic requirements that was placed on him in order to complete the vision of Hain Sail.

After all, the great Herr Hain-Vanm probably never imagined that his successor would be a newcomer to the world of alchemy, so the ideas he put forward in his design ideas were often just a simple description or noun that would not tell Fang what this proper noun was; I wouldn't tell him how to make it.

Maybe in Hayne-Vanm's mind, is there anyone who can't do these simple and basic things? But there really is, that is, his student and successor a thousand years later, classmate Fang.

After more than ten centuries of development, alchemy has long become a proprietary discipline in Aitalia that penetrates into this world civilization in all aspects. After more than 1,000 years of accumulation, all kinds of developing, obsolete, or emerging configuration design drawings may be enough to describe in the vast measurement words like a galaxy.

Some of these designs are kept in the public database and library of the Craftsmen's Association, so that future generations can freely browse them. But more often than not, it has been handed down in the form of 'wealth of knowledge'.

They are clearly priced in many places and sold in guilds, magic and alchemy shops everywhere.

After all, alchemists also have to eat, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for alchemical knowledge. Alchemists are a profession that costs a lot of money, especially if you want to go deeper in a certain field.

Of course, there are a few exceptions.

By chance, he invented a classic design configuration, and made a fortune just by selling design drawings, and even became rich enough to rival the country, which even included many famous master craftsmen.

Because of the existence of such a model, it has also led some alchemists to devote themselves to 'inventing' configuration design, in a vain attempt to soar into the sky, thus abandoning their profession;

Nowadays, behind all the large-scale alchemy chambers and workshops with a long history, these drawing craftsmen are indispensable. It's just that their work has gradually changed from the earliest invention and design configuration to the promising work of how to circumvent the 'patents' of their predecessors and set up new 'patent barriers'.

By the way, these two terms were also new things brought by earthlings, and they quickly spread among artisans and became very popular.

Because of the existence of these people, the alchemy industry has changed a lot in the past few years, and now the best place to buy configuration blueprints is no longer the past artisan association, but the various magic and alchemy shops supported by the Chamber of Commerce, and the former has to raise one of them.

Probably because of the common problems of the bureaucracy, alchemists generally believed that the blueprints that the craftsmen would always stock were too old and some were out of date.

Overall, learning to design is a very expensive and experience-consuming task, and it is a time-consuming task for the Aboriginal people. In the past, Fang also learned all the basic configurations in the Clockwork Elf, including the Fairy I flapping wing structure, the Fairy IV heat dissipation structure, the Fairy I visual link structure, the ultra-light core power structure Type A, and the Fairy I armor structure.

As well as the full range of basic configurations of the Pacers: Walker II Spider Structure, Colossus IV Balance Compensation Structure, Walker III Heat Dissipation Structure, Light Core Power Structure Type A, Walker I Armor Structure, Type I Dexterity Burst Structure, Type I Strength Enhancement Structure.

These things are basically all the belongings of novices, and they will not be more than others, and naturally they will not be less. However, these things may be barely enough during the apprenticeship alchemist period, but once they grow into full-fledged craftsmen, they are a little stretched.

"Basic configuration blueprint?"

Listening to Fang's words, Ms. Dietetic swung her fat legs, moved her paws to the edge of the platform, tilted her head and looked at him condescendingly, her expression was a little stern, although the owl's expression had always been stern: "It's so strange, are you an alchemist?" Why can't I see your Alchemist rank emblem? ”

Fang helplessly shook his tattered alchemist's robe: "Madam, there is no rule on what level of alchemist can read the basic configuration blueprint, aren't you a store here?" ”

"That being said, little one, but I must warn you that not everyone understands alchemists. It's strange that some imps who don't know anything often come to me, as if they can become an alchemist by looking at something from an alchemist. ”

She flapped her wings, and her breath was like Fang was one of those little kids. "Of course, it's not a big mistake to want to be an alchemist, but you have to be down-to-earth and not ambitious, otherwise it's too strange. Isn't it, it's a shame to waste the time of a respectable lady. ”

Seeing that she had a tendency to speak at length again, Fang hurriedly interrupted her. "Don't worry, I'm here to buy something, Ms. Gheath."

To be honest, he didn't see how precious the owl's time was, and the other party looked more like a chattering old lady.

Lady Heatside tilted her head to look at him before nodding, "Alright then, young Mr. Alchemist, what configuration blueprint do you want?" ”

"I'm going to shoot the hair, any kind of configuration, but it's better to be cheaper, I don't have any requirements for the working environment and the amount of energy delivered. Then there is the Magic I configuration, the acceleration structure of Buffettos and the design of the reflux device. ”

Fang also reported seventeen or eighteen basic configuration design drawings in one breath, some of which were needed for flexible construction later, and some of which were some common and unusual component design drawings required by magic guides.

He hadn't forgotten that he was no longer an adventure alone, and that Red and Attila, as well as Parker's equipment maintenance and upgrades, all fell on his shoulders alone.

After listening to this, the owl lady held up her glasses with her wings, and then picked up a bill of goods and read: "A price-sensitive and biased firing structure design drawing, then how about the design of the A series trigger in the Stum'A workshop, simple and durable, the key is cheap." ”

"Yes."

"Next is the blueprint of the Magic I configuration, is that the magic-sensitive device? It's weird, it's a rare request, and I rarely see anyone need it. ”

Fang hurriedly nodded: "That's it, the material needs to use the Silver Blazing Forest Eyeball." ”

"Okay, that's for sure, but it's still weird. Let's talk about the acceleration structure, are you sure you want Buffettos's, this thing is very expensive, if you are not very sensitive to quality, I recommend you to use Kingfisher's Workshop"

"No, no, no, I want this, I'm sure." Fang hurriedly shook his head, the acceleration structure is the most important part of the state of a crystal β, and it has high requirements for precision and quality, and he doesn't dare to cut corners in this.

Ms. Owl confirmed most of the drawings with him again, but when she got to the last one, something went wrong: "Magic reflux device?" ”

Ms. Heatside changed several bills in a row, and finally shook her head: "Are you sure you wrote it correctly, little one, it's so strange that we don't have this thing here." ”

She also emphatically tapped the countertop with her paws to show that her professionalism was unquestionable.

"Huh? Didn't you? Fang's heart sank, this is exactly what he was worried about, after all, Hehen Lamb's design ideas were a thousand years ago, and many things that were available at that time were either eliminated later, or simply disappeared in the long river of history.

If it's the former, it's fine, as long as you find a replacement, maybe the effect will be better. But if it's the latter, it's a tragedy, and you can't even find a solution.

After all, although Hain-Vanm also provided shooting design ideas, the master's ideas could not be understood by him, a primary school student. If you don't follow the steps and want to find a replacement along the other party's line of thought, you don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey.

And once he surpassed the fifth level, it involved the problem of replacing the new core crystal, which was a matter of time waiting for no one.

"But"

Unexpectedly, the owl gasped for breath, and she took two steps back and forth on the platform with her wings on her back: "You seem to have heard this thing somewhere, it seems strange for me to think about it, I seem to have heard of something similar when I worked in the Elpahim Artisan Association in the early years." It's called something, the magic cycle structure, that's it, listening to the description should be about the same thing. It's so weird, are you sure you wrote it right? ”

"Wait, the Mana Loop Structure? Are you sure, Ms. Heathed? Fang Wenyan was overjoyed. He knew his own family and almost certainly was a replacement for the Mana Reflux Device, but the Mana Cycle was not a common configuration, so it was shelved in the Artisans' Guild's database.

Lady Owl was furious when she heard this, and her ears and feathers were raised: "It is strange that you should doubt the memory of an older, wise Lady Owl! Don't use your human standards to figure out one of the most intelligent species in the world, your poor brain can't hold the knowledge of what if, and here I am only a small part of my rich experience. It's so strange why humans are so shallow, I can even tell you about my experience in the Giant Tree Hills, it was almost a decade ago, I remember I wrote a book about what I got and it was quite a good seller in many places in Cowlin Ihurian, you or ......"

The Owl Lady was still chattering, and Fang was already sweating profusely, and quickly settled the account and let Red leave. He didn't even dare to ask any more questions about the structure of the magic cycle, thinking to himself that he would have to go to the Craftsmen's Guild anyway, and then he would talk about it.

Anyway, when it comes to inconsequential things, he's always been so passable.

And he swore that even if he went back to face a dark dragon, he would never deal with an owl lady again, it would be terrifying.

Rhett also expressed his deep opinion of this.

At the same time, the lion man also used the knowledge of the earthlings to correct Fang's incorrect cognitive methods.

"No, she's not a feline."

"At least the name is similar to yours, both cats."

"It's a lot worse, I'm a lion, not a big cat man." Red said angrily.
