Learning is not about following or copycating, the ultimate goal is to transcend.

Just mastering the technology of making Huck's incendiary arrows, or even improving its refill incendiary recipe to make it more powerful, didn't make Moriarty feel satisfied and happy. In the next step, he will begin to try to make a complete structural change to the Burning Arrow from the level of the magic circle.

It has to be said that Moriarty's heart is big, big enough to make people jaw-dropping and unbelievable. You must know that even a veteran alchemist like Schmidt or Laika will not easily adjust in the face of a stereotyped alchemy circle. Because the essence of alchemy is mathematics, behind any magic array is supported by a large number of formulas, symbols, numbers, and complex calculations accurate to tens of decimal places. A seemingly simple or even boring and ugly line or a subtle curve in the alchemy circle is actually the fruit of the hardships that have been repeatedly thought about and carefully calculated by the alchemist. Making changes in any of the formed magic arrays is equivalent to overturning most of the previous work, and it is almost the same as starting all over again. And in the process of change, as long as there is a slight fallacy, it will completely invalidate the magic array, and at worst, it will directly lead to the destruction of the array. And only a mature alchemist like Schmidt, who has stepped into the middle level with one foot, has the ability and courage to design or adjust the existing alchemy circles on his own, and more low-level alchemists can only honestly follow the established alchemy blueprints.

Naturally, Moriarty was well aware of the difficulties and twists and turns he would face if he intended to modify the magic array, but he was still willing to take on such a challenge, even if it would fail thousands of times. Moreover, in Moriarty's plan, it was not to modify the theoretical basis of Huck's Burning Arrow beyond recognition, and he knew that he did not have the strength and experience to do so for the time being. Therefore, what Moriarty has to do is to make full use of the other two blank faces of the three-edged arrow cluster, also inlaid with magic arrays, and combine the three magic arrays into one to form a new joint alchemy circle. If successful, according to Moriarty's estimates, the power of the Burning Arrow will not only be tripled, but it will likely break through its original single burning magical properties and produce a new effect of violent explosion.

In order to connect the three burning magic arrays with independent structures, leaving no gaps or flaws, Moriarty also holds a "sharp weapon" in his hand that other alchemists do not have, that is, the "Alchemy Equation - Bridge (1)", that is, the "small bridge" obtained by chance from the "Arcanist's Codex" and inherited from the ancient elven empire. With it, Moriarty has the means and confidence to achieve his goals.

For the next two months, Moriarty spent most of his time at his workbench. Under the ever-changing pale yellow magic light of the central processing unit, he is like the most energetic of naughty boys, constantly swimming and diving in a sea of symbols, numbers and formulas. Despite the fact that the sea is always choppy, undulating, sometimes even huge waves and whirlpools, Moriarty has always made a courageous advance towards the heart of the sea with his perseverance, perseverance and never giving up.

As Moriarty's fiancée, Hayyna certainly sensed something changed in her fiancé. For example, she carelessly wanders when talking, thinks silently during meals, and even often stays up all night, but Hayaruna does not ask the reason or interfere with it, but is more considerate and careful to take care of Moriarty's daily life, and occasionally reminds her lover that she should rest early or eat more. And only when she is alone, Hayuna's face will quietly reveal a faint worry and a heartfelt pride. And when she faces her fiancé again, she will pick up her little mood and return to the most perfect southern woman, the fiancée of a mage. …,

Finally, after nearly ten pounds of scratch paper and a few dozen quills were smoothed, a new set of trinity, perfectly linked new Converged Burning Alchemy Equations and the corresponding trihedral magic array were born at Moriarty's fingertips.

Compared to the previous alchemy circle of armor-piercing burning arrows, this new magic item, which Moriarty named "Armor-Piercing Burst Arrow", is undoubtedly much more complex and cumbersome. Because of the need to take into account the unified linkage of the three magic arrays, Moriarty finally successfully connected the "small bridge" after countless painstaking calculations, and then realized the "three formations in one". Therefore, compared to the body of the Burning Magic Array, the real technical core of the Armor-Piercing Burst Arrow is at the junction of the three alchemy arrays. Even for the uninitiated, you can get a glimpse of it just from the intricate edges of the three-edged arrow cluster of the burst arrows to the dazzling combination of magic array etchings. Of course, due to the significant increase in process requirements, the difficulty, threshold and cost of making zuò armor-piercing blast arrows have also increased dramatically. If the Moriarty has a yield of nearly eighty percent for the armor-piercing incendiary arrow, then it is only barely thirty percent for the armor-piercing blasting arrow.

But in any case, being able to independently take the "Armor-Piercing Burst Arrow", the Tianwang Mountain, has an extraordinary significance and impact on the growth and maturity of Moriarty. It is as if a newborn foal has risen for the first time on its own, and the vast road will continue to expand and stretch to the end under its flying hooves.

After successfully completing the development of two new magical equipment, the next step was to test the live ammunition. So Moriarty approached Lille.

"What? You said you designed and made two different magical flame arrows? In the tent of the commander of the squadron of the city guards, Lille shouted in an almost roaring voice to Moriati who was standing near him. But before the words could be spoken, Lille immediately stopped his mouth, and at the same time ran out of the camp tent to give an order, driving the surrounding squadron soldiers into the distance, and then returned to the mage.

"Armor-piercing incendiary arrows and armor-piercing blasting arrows. Among them, the main body of the former is based on the alchemical blueprint of the established 'Huck Burning Arrow', and I have only made some improvements. As for the Burst Arrow, it should be considered a new magic arrow. Looking at Lille with a blushing face and staring at him intensely, Moriarty couldn't help but smile amused, and then slowly explained.

"Huck Burning Arrow? I think you've heard you mention this before, and it's a thank you gift from that little girl from the Doro Chamber of Commerce. But what you say is true? Or are you idle and bored to joke with me? You must know that with the average level of a first-order alchemist, it is difficult to succeed even if it is just imitated according to the map, let alone innovate and design a more powerful magic item. Even though I know that Moriarty's strength is better than that of ordinary mages, it's too impossible to be so outrageous, right? Still in disbelief, Lille lowered his voice and asked sternly.

"Actually, I'm here today to apply for a shooting range from you." In the face of Lille's deep suspicions, Moriarty smiled faintly and did not refute, but only made his own request.

"Shooting range? Live ammunition? Do you mean that you have not only finished the paper design, but also made the finished product? Looking at Moriarty's calm face, Lille quickly calmed down as well. Although there was still a voice inside him constantly shouting "impossible", reason told Sù Lille that Moriarty was not one to make such jokes at will.

"Yes, there are some physical objects."

"So, what day do you need to use the range? How to set the specifications of the target? Who else is participating? Having said that, Lille is no longer going to question or pursue it meaninglessly. Now that his mage advisor has made a request, Lille will find a way to do it. Even if it turns out to be just an unruly farce. …,

"Next Monday morning, it should be a rainy and snowy day, and the test environment is good. Target specifications, I hope that there are three sets of leather armor, iron armor, and steel armor dolls of the city defense army. Of course, I will pay for all the associated costs. Moriarty thought for a moment and decided, "As for the participants, it's just you, me, White, and Hayna." May I? ”

"Next Monday... Rain and snow days... Standard iron armor, steel armor... I have to say, Moriarty, you are really full of confidence. Hearing the other party's words, Lille couldn't help but smile bitterly, but still agreed.

"If the results of the live-fire test are good, the city defense army will consider procurement, right?" Finally, Moriarty suddenly asked again.

"Procurement... I guess so..."The wry smile on Lille's face deepened again as he watched Moriarty walk out of the tent.

On Monday, the snow and rain arrived as scheduled, and the wind was blowing, making it a bad day to travel.

At the shooting range of the city defense outside Azurite City, Lille led Moriarty, White, and Hayurna to the test site. At the other end of the target path, a puppet dressed in standard leather armor is "ready to go". In the distance, Bonda and his team are on standby, ready to change target puppets for Moriarty

The first update.
