Chapter 22: Alchemy
Inside the Sunfury Library!
"Thank you for your help last time, Chief Tiffany!" Carlin bowed respectfully to the elf in front of him.
"No big deal!" Mage Tiffany said indifferently, "Since that stupid Morrowind dares to do such a thing, it is obviously a violation of the dignity of the Sunfury family!" As a member of the family, I have a responsibility to uphold the dignity of the family! ”
That being said, Carlin knows it well! It is precisely because she has shown value to her family that Mage Tiffany chooses to act when she is in danger...... Otherwise, if it is another ordinary one-ring mage in the family, he will beat someone up, as long as he doesn't cause death, few people will care.
"Wait a minute!" Tiffany seemed to remember something, she turned around and took out a slender staff with a very delicate pattern from behind her: "This staff was dropped by that Morrowind family's Doonne, it is of little use to me, you can take it if you need it!" ”
"A three-ring mage's weapon?" Carlin bent down and picked up the staff!
A very friendly feeling came from his hand, as if he was increasing his strength, which was much stronger than the staff that Oliver had lent him before! Carlin suddenly felt that if he released the spell at this time, it would be a few points stronger than usual.
"Thank you for the gift, but ......" Carlin hesitated suddenly.
Tiffany seemed to see through Carlin's concern, and she said with some disdain, "Could it be that you still think that those wastes of the Morrowind family still have the guts to retaliate against you?" ”
Carlin thought about it for a while, he also thought too much, the Morrowind family is just a small family, and he has provoked a behemoth like the Sunrage family, and it is too late to dodge, how can he think about revenge...... In this way, the grudge between himself and the Morrowind family is over!
"What books did you borrow?" Tiffany turned her gaze to the stack of manuscripts that Carlin had brought over, glanced at them and said in surprise, "Alchemy? ”
"Yes!" Carlin nodded honestly.
"It seems that Mr. Carlin, your interests are quite broad!" Tiffany threw away the manuscripts and sarcastically said, "I still have the same advice, don't be too ambitious, and want to learn when you see things...... You should understand the simple truth that you can't chew too much! ”
"I see, Chief Tiffany......" Carlin said honestly without retorting.
"Carlin, your talent is very good, both me and Mentor Kane value you very much! So, you still don't waste as well! With that, the blue-robed mage walked away!
"Perhaps!" Looking at Tiffany's distant voice, Carlin waved his hand and said to himself, "But I'm sorry, I really want to get to know this world well!" ”
……
Follow the stairs down to the second floor of the Sunfury Spire.
An arcane servant floated over: "Mr. Carlin, I'm Olympiad Golem No. 76, do you need my help?" ”
"Could you please help me book a training ground for a trainee mage?" Carlin asked calmly.
"Absolutely!" The empty voice of the Arcane Minion immediately replied, "Are there any additional requirements for the training ground?" ”
"If you can, please help set up some instruments and equipment for elementary alchemy!"
"Yes, Mr. Carlin...... Now, please follow me to Training Ground One! The Arcane Minions froze for a few seconds, as if to convey something, and then spoke again.
Following the Arcane minions, Carlin walked into a small dark room on the far westernmost side......
The space inside is very large, and it is completely different from what I imagined when I was outside, and it should be the result of the effect of space spells; The ceiling is transparent, and you can even see the starry sky clearly, which should also be the result of space spells!
On one side of the training ground, there are various magical instruments, including the blue crystal ball that Carlin saw from the mage Kirkland earlier! On the other side, there are a lot of bottles and jars, which are probably the alchemy equipment that Carlin has requested.
"Mr. Carlin, do you have any other requests?" The Arcane Minion whispered behind Carlin.
"No need......
"It's an honor to serve you, Arcane Golem 76 is retiring!"
The empty training ground was suddenly left alone!
"Is this the strength of the Sunfury Family, a lowest-level trainee mage training ground, with such luxurious equipment!" Carlin laughed dumbly, his only regret was probably that he was afraid of the eight-ring mage at the top, Kane Sunrage, and he didn't dare to communicate with the All-Seeing Eye here!
He walked over to a set of tables and chairs in the middle of the training ground and sat down as he opened the manuscript he had just borrowed from the library on the fourth floor.
At the top is a thick hardcover book with no name on the cover, and on the cover is a giant snake that bites its tail with its mouth to form a figure-eight shape!
"Ring of Uroboros?"
Carlin slowly turned it on.
"How to define 'alchemy' has been a difficult problem since ancient times! Many people think that the technology of converting base metals into precious metals is alchemy...... Personally, I think this statement is wrong, because the conversion between base and precious metals is only alchemy in the narrow sense; And alchemy in a broad sense should include the transformation of any matter in the world, through the understanding, decomposition, and recreation of matter, and then let the material have greater use value for us! ”
"For an alchemy formula, the first thing is its practicality, no matter how imaginative and creative the alchemy formula is, it will become meaningless if it loses its practicality......"
"For example, in the year 876 of the Lordane calendar, Samuel, the brown-robed mage of Dalaran, discovered a mysterious metal that could be obtained by intricately tempering one part of this metal, two parts of earth essence, and seven parts of iron ingots...... Samuel named the recipe 'Iron to Gold' and the newly discovered mysterious metal 'Ogin'......"
"This discovery shook the entire wizarding world, and Samuel was awarded the 'Kenrito Highest Contribution Award' by the Council of Six, and even caused the price of gold in the market to plummet for a time! However, after only two years, Aojin was developed for a variety of other uses, and its extremely rare production was quickly increased to 30 times the price of gold, and the formula of 'turning iron into gold' completely lost its utility, and of course, the price of gold soon returned to normal! ”
"There are almost countless examples of the same, so this book will only list some practical recipes for the viewer to learn!"
Carlin continued to scroll down, and there were a lot of alchemy recipes recorded in the back.
"Primary Protective Elixir, Lion King Power Elixir, Black Mouth Fish Oil, ......" Carlin suddenly stopped.
"Page 86, Black Powder!"
A smile appeared on his lips, and Carlin suddenly had a very bold idea.
