Chapter 0011: Production Alchemist
A quill pen is much easier to write than chicken feathers, and the ink does not smell as fishy as chicken blood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After several pages of paper, Van Pei put down his quill pen, which was full of Arabic numerals and a summoning table. The Grizzly Kingdom has a lot of characters and complex numbers, and it's not as simplified as Arabic numerals. Not to mention oral arithmetic, which can greatly improve computing power, there is no such thing.
Van Pei can't help it, although Baron Hill has enough 200,000 gold bears and 60,000 catties of grain, but they are all transported in batches, and these old and rough soldiers even have to calculate the basic addition and subtraction for half a day. Not to mention that when you take inventory, you can get it wrong in minutes.
And after getting the money, Van Pei naturally had to purchase a large number of supplies from Philigot's fleet, which directly made these old and rough soldiers dizzy, and the accounts were a mess, and they couldn't see it at all, so they could only go into battle by themselves.
As a result, for two days and one night, Fan Pei couldn't close his eyes, and his originally delicate face was now covered with a pair of panda eyes.
In desperation, what Van Pei had to do was to popularize Arabic numerals, as well as simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division algorithms.
"I thought of teaching these big and rough people...... I want to go back to the royal capital to be a gentleman. ā
Van Pei rubbed his eyes, stretched a big waist, and couldn't help but yawn again, it was too sleepy. Just when he looked up, he saw a little girl standing in the doorway, looking at him with a wary face. Gail stood reluctantly, saying that he was also confused.
"What's your name?" Van Pei put down the quill pen in his hand.
"Nina."
"Tell me why you were arrested and how you were arrested."
Nina originally thought that she was brought in and would face torture from the church, but she didn't expect that it would be such a young man with clear eyebrows, and the questioning was very easy-going, but the dark circles under her eyes were too eye-catching.
Although Nina felt that the young man's figure was thin, he had an indescribable extravagance.
It is indeed a big man from the royal capital, and it is completely different from the small nobles of the border fortress like us, I don't know if those noble ladies in the royal capital are also so extravagant.
Nina thought to herself.
No, no, he's here to judge me, a lackey of the Holy See, a bad guy who specializes in persecuting alchemists.
"What, reluctant to say it? That's a bit of a problem, by the way, Gail, did her family bring it? Van Pei tapped his finger on the table, and if Nina didn't want to speak, Van Pei would have to ask her family.
It's just that Van Pei's words obviously made Nina even more misunderstood, thinking that Van Pei was going to threaten her family.
I didn't expect Chang Qingxiu to be so despicable in his means.
"I can tell you why." Nina couldn't help it, she didn't want to involve her family anymore.
Although Van Pei was a little surprised by Nina's transformation, Nina also told the reason and what happened.
The reason and the process are not complicated, Nina grew up in a wealthy aristocratic family, Nina's father, Baron Zorn, owned a trading house and would often go to the business alliance to trade, and Nina would often take a boat to see the outside world.
Compared to the old-fashioned Grizzly Kingdom, business alliances are quietly changing. The principalities of the alliance have always been fighting each other, but because of the Church's continental balance policy, which supports weak countries to balance the strong, there has not been much change.
However, as the royal family of the Duchy of Ilia supported an explorer named Columbus to explore overseas, and robbed the duchy of many colonies, bringing endless wealth to the kingdom, other principalities also began to explore the depths of the sea, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to risk being punished by the Holy See to secretly support the alchemists' improvement of navigation and weapons.
Compared to the Grizzly Kingdom, there are more alchemists on the side of the Business Alliance, and although it is not visible, Nina still met a female alchemist by chance.
After coming and going, Nina developed an insatiable thirst for new knowledge, and settled in the Duchy of Mink in the north of the Commercial Alliance for a year, and then under the leadership of the female alchemist, Nina awakened her magical powers, at least that's how the Holy See defines it.
And being caught is also very simple.
Nina, who became an alchemist, has been hiding in the basement of her home to conduct experiments, but a few days ago, a bankrupt distant cousin's family came to defect. My cousin's bear child somehow broke into Nina's underground alchemy room, and then my cousin blackmailed Baron Zorn for 100,000 gold bear hush money.
Baron Zorn was afraid that his daughter would be captured by the Holy See, so he paid the hush money.
But unexpectedly, my cousin went to the City Lord's Mansion the next day to expose Nina, and even added fuel and vinegar to say that she saw Nina fiddling with the dead. Immediately afterwards, Nina's family was arrested by the gendarmerie, and her cousin spat on Nina, scolding Nina for being an evil alchemist.
"I deeply sympathize." Van Pei sighed.
"I don't need your sympathy." Nina wanted to scold you for not doing this kind of thing often? But when I thought of my family, I could only change my words.
"Can you show off your magical powers? This is a magic crystal, and I know that you alchemists are able to destroy the molecular structure of the magic crystal, and then reorganize and absorb it according to your own magical properties, thus granting a specific ability. ā
In anticipation of the alchemist's arrival, Van PĆ© purchased a number of magic crystals from Philigot's caravan.
For alchemists, the magic crystal is the necessary force for them to turn decay into magic.
"You're not afraid? If you're not afraid, give me a knife, and a twig. "Nina is very strange, ordinary people only burn themselves in disgust, how can they give themselves magic crystals.
"I know you're a productive magician and not very good at fighting." Van Pei didn't mind at all, and took a dagger from the drawer and handed it to Gail, who then skimmed off a branch and brought it to Nina.
Van Pei's not minding doesn't mean Gale doesn't mind.
"I warn you, don't play any tricks." Gale whispered a warning as he handed the dagger and twig to Nina.
Nina ignored Gail, not to mention that her family was in the hands of the other party, and she was not a combat-type alchemist at all. According to the definition of this great nobleman, what is it called?
Oh yes, production.
A strange definition, maybe that's how the nobles of the royal capital classify alchemists.
She was able to destroy the inside of the magic crystal through her own magic power, as the great nobleman said, destroy the internal ...... molecule, which is then reconstituted and resorbed.
Under the gaze of Van Pei's panda eyes, Nina began to crack and reorganize the inside of the magic crystal, and then absorbed it into her body.
The branches have been split in two by Nina.
In the first hourglass time, Nina slices the first twig into a small wooden sword.
After the second hourglass, Nina cut the second branch into a small wooden sword that was exactly the same as the first.
Nina's magic power is the standard.
This was defined by Nina herself, and in the course of her experiments, she was able to absorb magic crystals and gain standard magical power, polishing every needle exactly the same without the slightest deviation.
Even Nina has polished her long sword, and every detail and pattern of each long sword is exactly the same, which is very standard.
But this doesn't seem to have much effect, who cares about their own little magic power, far inferior to a combat-type alchemist, with a wave of his hand, the destructive power of a fire that burns down a house.
