"Alchemist?"

The crackling sound of the potions when they were mixed together echoed in the scene of this room, and the magical light like electricity began to shine in front of the eyes of Black Corn and the others, and he and the three or two teammates around him stared at every movement in the direction of the small wooden box for a moment, and only after a while did he ask in a low voice in another blue-purple glow, "What do you mean by alchemist?" ”

"Alchemist is one of my professions." Still quickly operating the potion bottles in front of him, Duan Qing replied without raising his head: "What, is there any problem?" ”

"Of course there is." Black Corn raised his voice: "What are you doing here?" Do you want to brute-force the mechanism on this wooden box? You give me a little care, if I accidentally ...... this box."

"If you don't want me to destroy this wooden box, then don't say a word." Duan Qing, who was still staring at him, frowned his eyebrows: "It will distract me." ”

“…… Shh ”

The voice was low, and the black corn with his hands on the table didn't say his next sentence for a long time, and his motionless appearance and eyes staring at those magical brilliance also remained in place, as if he acquiesced in the attempt that Duan Qing was making. Colorful magic reactions then appeared around the wooden box all the time, accompanied by the harsh crackling sound of the magic attached to the wooden box when they intertwined and collided, and the movements of Duan Qing's fingertips, whose hands were intertwined around those crackling currents, became faster and faster, and finally even turned into a phantom that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye: "One layer of elemental lock, two layers of elemental lock...... Tut-tut, I actually added two layers of crystallization circles, and covered up the past with illusion magic......"

"Hey!" Black Corn, who was about to scream just now, then lowered his voice again: "You...... What are you talking about? Can you say something that we can understand? ”

"You don't understand it anyway, so just sit there and listen to it."

There was an imperceptible divine light in his eyes, and the expression on Duan Qing's face, who had been constantly mixing the potion on the surface of that wooden box, became more and more serious: "The restriction is the earth element and the water element, which means that the maker deliberately strengthened the magic circle, but instead released the fire element...... It should be installed with a setting similar to self-detonation, so don't be afraid of the violence of the fire element. ”

“…… Producer? ”

"It's really hard to deal with."

Taking out a bottle of transparent potion from his bosom again, Duan Qing quickly splashed it on the surface of the wooden box, and then rinsed all the colorful potions attached to it before the wooden box was about to turn red. The sneering sound accompanied by the sparks unique to the magic jump immediately rushed to the surface of the wooden table, and in an instant, the green smoke of various colors corroded the hollows of different sizes, and Duan Qing, who ignored these, then also stretched out his hands that had been soaked in the transparent potion, and slowly placed the wooden box in the center of those holes: "I deliberately did this for a certain purpose...... You've made a lot of money. ”

"Nonsense, nonsense." Black Corn, who didn't care about the loss of tables and chairs, immediately shouted: "This is a relic left over from the time of the Ancient Magic Empire!" You're a little magician and alchemist......"

"I'm not talking about you, and it's not an ancient relic."

Raising his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing, who was looking up and down at the wooden box in his hand, slowly lifted it into the air: "Judging from my shallow magical knowledge, the magic blockade attached to it is a magic technology that only exists after modern times, although it is not as perfect and generous as those magic methods from the ancient magic empire period, but it is more than enough to disgust people." ”

"Near, modern magic?" In everyone's shocked reaction, it was the player named Hu Tao Rakshasa who took the lead in asking: "How can a relic from the ancient Magic Empire period have modern magic technology...... Yes! ”

"That's right, that's what you think."

Checking the small wooden box with a simple shape up and down, Duan Qing commented in a low voice: "Let you think that this is a relic of the Ancient Magic Empire, and then use the attraction of the Ancient Magic Empire to lead you to those ruins...... Anyway, you people don't know much about the magic of the free world, so it's easy to fall for it. ”

"Tsk, damn it." The long-knife man named Black Corn lowered his head and stomped his feet: "Could it be that those magic mechanisms are also fake?" ”

"I can't say this, maybe there are some other treasures hidden in it." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "Or is there really a secret key to unlock this box?" ”

"What about unraveling? Is there really some ancient treasure in it? ”

"I can't rule out the possibility that someone from the later nobles of the empire got some treasure and sealed it with his own means......

"I thought the employer was suspicious."

Before Duan Qing could finish his guess, the black corn sitting opposite slapped the table: "I found a wooden box and didn't give money, so I have to let us unlock the magic mechanism of this wooden box...... Hmph, maybe the anonymous man's purpose wasn't to get the stuff at all, but to get the other treasures in the ruins. ”

"So, why use such a reason? Just tell us to crack the hidden passages in those ruins that haven't been opened yet. ”

"Maybe it's to hide people's eyes, so that we don't find out any secrets or something......"

"It's also possible that it's some kind of teleportation anchor that will suddenly be activated when we find a certain place, and teleport to us in an instant."

"Why don't you say it's a bomb, it's meant to kill people?"

"You can't say it too soon."

Raising his hand to interrupt the low arguments of several players around him, the long-knife man named Black Corn then stood up again, and his eyes, which had been staring at the wooden box, also raised up, and finally put it on Duan Qing's face: "After all, we only know that this wooden box is not an ancient product now, everything else...... Not necessarily. ”

"Are you doubting my conclusions?" Raising his hand with a smile, Duan Qing, who had not spoken, then held the wooden box in front of the other party: "If you don't believe it, you can take it to another place to identify it." ”

"No need, I'll trust you for now." Scratching his head a little helplessly, Black Corn finally dispelled a little doubt from his face: "But the problem is ...... There are still many doubts about this wooden box. ”

"Oh? So what do you say to do? ”

"This wooden box...... Can you still unravel it now? ”

Slowly saying this, the black corn grinned in the surprised eyes of his companions around him: "Can you do it?" ”

"So far, you still want to know what's in there?"

Raising his eyebrows in some surprise, Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "What's the use of knowing?" ”

"God knows what's the use, maybe it's just an empty box." Black Corn shrugged his shoulders: "But I just want to know, how?" ”

“……”

"What, you shouldn't say you can't open it at this time, right?" Looking at Duan Qing's appearance of falling silent again, Black Corn sneered and picked up the long knife in front of him: "It's been a long time to force ......"

"Don't underestimate the power of alchemy."

Duan Qing, who wiped his chin and had a strange smile on his face, then spread his hands to both sides: "It's just ...... I haven't fully dissected all the magical seals, and I want to break the circles that have been discovered—"

"How?"

Pouting his mouth, Black Corn finally took over Duan Qing's deliberately elongated voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Purple goldenrod, glabrous, leaves from the Charcole tree, and two shells of the Ancestral Turtle."

Quickly reported the names of several materials, Duan Qing's eyes brought a bit of an inexplicable smile: "If possible, it's best to bring a few more elemental stones of all kinds, the more the better." ”

"Damn, what place are you going to be? Grocery store? Black Corn glared and shouted, "Forget the Elemental Stone, what are those inexplicable herb materials?" ”

"Don't try to put on a crying poor face, just an ordinary guild, an adventure party that can easily promise a promise of five thousand gold coins...... This bit of stuff is still out of sight. Duan Qing replied with a smile: "Anyway, didn't you invite me over just to solve the problem of this wooden box?" If you don't give anything......"

"How can you get the effect you want?"

The silence lasted for a moment as Duan Qing's words landed, accompanied by the eyes of the two men standing in the center of the room when they looked at each other, standing in place and staring at each other for a while, then chuckling and tilting his head, and pouting his lips to the side without turning his head: "...... Walnut. ”

"In, in."

"Go, solve this problem for this alchemist."

“…… Good. ”

The sound of hurried footsteps gradually moved away from the room with the turn of the three or two players around Duan Qing, and finally disappeared into the unchanging vision of the black corn with the action of the Hu Tao Rakshasa who remained at the end, and the dusk from the free world gradually descended into the city of Tanzania with the silent confrontation between the two people present. The boredom caused by the passage of time finally changed with the return of several people sent out by the black corn one after another, and at the same time, more and more alchemy materials were piled up beside the gray-robed magician, and Duan Qing, who was holding his arms and closing his eyes, did not make any unnecessary reactions, until the sunlight from the outside world gradually began to fade before he slowly opened his eyes: "It's almost." ”

"All the materials you need are here." The black corn who was still sitting opposite also chuckled and said, "Purple goldenrod, ice orchid grass, leaves of the Charcole tree, two shells of the Ancestral Turtle...... On top of that, we've also sent a dozen elemental crystals, and if none of these are enough for you, unlock the seal on the wooden box for me......"

"You don't need to remind me." Duan Qing, who stretched out his hand, interrupted the other party's words: "I know the rules. ”

"Then ......" Black Corn, whose expression had become gloomy, grinned, "Please start your performance." ”

Without saying any more superfluous words, Duan Qing, who was stretching out his hands, slowly placed the empty bottles in front of him, and his complexion, which gradually became serious, followed the yellow tracks that appeared in front of him, condensing a small earthy yellow wall on the table in front of him: "...... Don't be nervous, it's just an alchemy table I've built temporarily. ”

"Earth-based magicians?" Black Corn raised his eyebrows: "Please." ”

"There may be some noise next, so bear with me a little."

Placing the wooden box in his hand on the alchemy table supported by the earthen wall, Duan Qing, who reached into his arms, then sprinkled a bottle of pale yellow potion around the earthen wall: "My magic level can't continue this temporary alchemy platform to the extent that the experiment is completed, so I need to strengthen it with elements, and then ......"

"Let's get started." He bared his white teeth, and then splashed another bottle of potion in his hand directly on the surface of the wooden box: "Magic Amplification!" ”

"Hey! You-"

The sudden loud roar of magic interrupted the warning sound that Black Corn was about to blurt out, and at the same time, there was a cracking sound when the magic patterns that erupted on the surface of the wooden box suddenly expanded, and the large pieces of brilliant colors that Duan Qing placed on the surface of the wooden box in the center of the earthen wall that were constantly shining also gradually expanded with the expansion of these magic patterns, and finally formed the appearance of a magic array composed of circuits. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, Duan Qing, who was standing in the air with his hands together, then quickly swiped out another piece of fiery red elixir, and then reached out and pulled a purple herb beside him while the bottle of potion came into contact with a certain blue node in the magic array surrounding the surface of the wooden box: "Don't panic, the imprisoning circle will restrict the exertion of their own strength, as long as the amount is used properly, the contraction and expansion will finally reach a balance somewhere." ”

"Just like you see now." He pointed to the violent reaction caused by the violent collision between the red potion and the blue node, and then sprinkled the purple powder that had melted in his hand on it: "As long as this magic circle is enlarged, even if it is alchemy, there is a way to disassemble it one by one." ”

"Hey, hey!" In the constant reverberating sound of magic, the black corn pointed there with all its strength and shouted, "It, it's going to explode!" ”

"Don't worry, as an alchemist, how could this result not be expected?"

With his left hand, he quickly smeared a bottle of gray viscous potion on the surface of the turtle shell with a rough surface and uneven shape, and Duan Qing then buckled it vigorously before the light of the violent reaction was about to explode: "Normal alchemy can't handle this violent reaction, but ......"

"If it's my kind of earthy method, this kind of energy response is just right."

The intense light was then obscured by the huge turtle shell, and the fusion of red and blue then began to penetrate along the surface of the turtle shell, and Duan Qing, who had a confident smile on his face, then twisted out green silk threads with his hand, and introduced the unstable energy that was about to explode into a certain empty bottle that had been prepared on the side along with the tortoise shell that had been shattered into powder.
