If Mu Yan is not mistaken, in the year 777 of the Faith Calendar, the Silver Candle Society is collectively tackling a difficult problem, that is, the subject of magic refining.

Magic refining is similar to purification, refining, and compressing of energy. For Lokan's magical industry, magic is the foundation of everything, even more important than the oil of the earth's chemical industry, because it is not only the original driving force, but also the fuel, and the core of the work of the automated assembly line.

In other words, "spiritualism".

If the scholars of the Silver Candle Society had seen the three servants of Mr. Glazer in Heru, the Pointed Braincase, the Big Bag, and the Broom, they would have been so shocked that they would have fallen to their knees and shouted "Mia is above". Lokan's "Spiritualism" can only give some basic functions to the props at the moment, such as making the broom sweep the floor automatically and the wheels turn automatically.

The former needs to designate an open space, otherwise the broom will not be able to respond to the environment, and the latter can only walk in a straight line and will not turn when obstacles are obstructed.

The mages believe that the root of it all lies in the purity of magic.

They firmly believe that since the essence of magic is the element, then when the purity of magic is at its extreme, it can be comparable to the creators of the Lord of the elements, so that the spirit will naturally be generated in the element, and then attached to the artifact, the original idea can be realized.

This idea can be said to be right or wrong.

It is correct that the extreme purity of the elements can indeed produce spiritual intelligence, and this is how the likes of Garton, Izu, and Ral were born.

But the mistake is that the purity required is too high for even a legendary mage to do – not in terms of difficulty, but in terms of magnitude.

For example, Marie Curie is a kind of "legendary mage" in a way, she spent years extracting 0.1g of radium chloride from a ton of asphalt, and then spent eight years to isolate the radium element, but what if the amount needed to make a "radium elemental organism" is 10kg? Judging from the perspective of that time, even if she spent her entire life, she would not be able to do it.

But Ikali can.

Not to mention how much power she can control, the magic net she controls is a machine itself, so she can freely manipulate the elemental territory and refine the elements at will.

So, they were right, but they were off track.

This is not the only way to generate spiritual intelligence, and Mr. Glazer's "Spiritualism" is another way.

Unlike the mages of Lokan who tried to impart "intelligence" to the artifact, Mr. Glazer used the soul as a bridge to create a chest, a broom, and a candlestick by merging the elements, and then gave birth to a simple spirit that came from the object itself, rather than "attached" to it.

The limitation of this is that the ability of the object to learn depends on the complexity of the body. For example, for Dabao, Sharp Braincase, and Broom, the appearance that Mu Yan saw was basically its limit. Hedwig is slightly better than them, and will only tilt her head and coo when she comes out of her life, but as she gradually gets in touch with and learns new things, she can now also use it as Mu Yan's helper (can...... Complete some missions other than self-destruct.

Even so, compared to the water moon and the flower in the mirror that the Lokan mages were pursuing, the format of the spirit possession was still far superior.

But that doesn't mean that mana refining is useless.

Any innovation in technology and means has its value, some have already been put into production, and some are still waiting to be explored. The high purity of magic has an advantage in both transportation and storage, and the added value of these "Spiritual Paths" alone is enough to keep the scholars of the Silver Candle Society moving forward.

And this, this is also Mu Yan's purpose, Luokan's technology tree is different from Heru, and he can't rewrite them at present, and finding a way to promote the pace of magic refining is the best way to promote, and it is not the kind that is fueled by seedlings.

In Twilight Era, after the Twilight Era, High Mage players have an optional weekly quest called "Mana Infusion".

It requires the Mage player to continuously lose mana to a crystal, which will result in a one-day loss of mana cap, a 20% slowdown in mana regeneration, and a "listless" debuff. But in return, the demon-filled crystal can be exchanged for a large amount of gold.

Therefore, this task is jokingly called "Zhou Chang Sperm Donation" by many mages.

Mu Yan later learned that the manipulator behind this mission was actually the Silver Candle Society, which was committed to refining the magic power from the mage to the "industrial" level in order to create "sustainable energy", which can be said to be quite far-sighted.

Extrapolating from the time, the Silver Candle Society in 777 was already working on this subject at least. This is also the reason why he came into contact with the Silver Candle Society through the Horn of Kane.

……

"Why did Mr. Mu Yan ask that?" Ian's expression was slightly sluggish, he pretended not to understand Mu Yan's words, and replied: "The relationship between Kane's Horn and the Silver Candle Society has lasted for hundreds of years, what they mean is what we mean, I am not responsible for any matters related to contracts and contracts, if you accept it, we can start the analysis of the magic pattern on this, hurry up." ”

I'm really in a hurry......

Mu Yan smiled, and then asked: "Let's put it this way, in fact, in addition to these six magic patterns, I also have a lot of knowledge about the construction of magic circles in dreams and illusions, to use an oriental proverb, this part is just the 'tip of the iceberg', and I am not interested in negotiating with a profit-seeking organization like Kane's Horn, I think knowledge is priceless, and only knowledge can be exchanged with knowledge, not money." ”

Ian and his apprentice Wendell looked at each other, both helpless.

They had seen too many young people with such "spirits", even when he was young. The importance of money can only be known after recognizing the reality, which is also the experience summed up by countless predecessors.

But the young man was right about it, the Silver Candle Club was more interested in the technology than the Horn of Kane. The latter's marketing consultant asked Gao Wen about his experience with the dream, and after investigating Mu Yan's origin, he said that "this is just a prank by a genius mage", thinking that Mu Yan just presented Gao Wen with a picture cake, which was actually not as exaggerated as he imagined, that is, it could "liberate the soul".

"If he really has such great ability, the entire aristocracy of Jialan will only need to wear a headband and lie on the bed to enjoy three meals a day in the future, and they will be able to dream of dominating the world. Ha, is this possible? ”

The marketing advisor may not know how far-sighted he is saying this, because there is such a group of playthings in the other world who have been mistaken by him......

In short, after the project was rejected by him, the Silver Candle Society came back with a thirst for new knowledge, and the compensation in this contract was the greatest concession that the scholars could get from the group of merchants - even so, the group of despised merchants also "exploited" to the extreme.

Helpless, Ian had no choice but to ask, "What's that...... What kind of 'content' does Mr. Mu Yan want to exchange? ”

Mu Yan naturally wouldn't directly ask about the process of magic refining, he couldn't explain where he knew about it.

So he took a different approach.

"My hometown...... That is, to the east of the dragon's back, there was originally an emerald forest, where the vegetation was abundant and the trees were shady......"
