In fact, the question raised by Hayuna has also plagued Peak. Jem many years.

At the time, the genius geoalchemist was looking to push the physical limits of traditional gargoyles and replace the clumsy rocks with a harder, but at the same time relatively lightweight, material that would ensure that his new creations would have a quality that surpassed any previous magical golem of its kind. After much consideration, Peak opted for Ink Crystal, an obsidian crystal mine native to Bracada that is hard and lightweight.

However, the real problem then arises, how can the ink crystal, which is much harder than rock gravel, be molded exactly according to the alchemist's idea? And this is a blank in all known magical literature.

But in the end, Peak. Jem succeeded. He used a very special alchemy technique to overcome the "inferiority" of crystal ore, which was difficult to control and transform, and then used the ink crystal to perfectly construct the new body of the gargoyle, and made it cooperate with its internal alchemy driving circle. And this new crystal magic golem did not disappoint Peak, only in a few small-scale real yàn battles, the ink crystal gargoyle easily defeated two to three times the number of stone golems, and suffered minor losses of its own.

It's just a pity that it's not yet to be picked. Jem officially announced the results of his years of painstaking research, and the icy apocalypse that swept through the entire plane suddenly erupted. Like countless other magical civilizations that have been forced to disappear, the dark crystal gargoyle that is enough to become a glorious milestone in the history of alchemy puppetry, has been lost to the merciless fog of history along with his master, and no one knows about it again.

And the intact magic crystal gargoyle that Moriarty got from the Moon River Guild can really be said to be very lucky. However, no matter how lucky you are, even if the supernatural function of the crystal book completely separates it into pieces of the most basic puppet components, it can only allow the connecting circuit inside the Moriati to pass the guò components to deduce the alchemy circle structure run by the gargoyle, but it is impossible to find out from it. The core secret of Jem's sculpting of ink crystals.

So, how did he manage to shape the red crystal, which was stronger and harder than the ink crystal, into the magic golem body he needed?

"I used this." Under Hyyana's puzzled gaze, Moriarty took out a transparent test tube containing some kind of silver bright liquid, and as the test tube shook slightly, the silver liquid continued to reflect as bright as stars under the illumination of the light.

"What is this?" Haiyuna had never heard of this kind of alchemy reagent, and took the test tube in a little dazed, only to feel that it was heavier than mercury to start.

"Crystal activator, an agent that temporarily softens crystals and gives them permanent toughness." Moriarty explained softly, and this was one of the two alchemical recipes of the Old Elven Empire that he had found in the hidden pages of the Arcanist's Codex years ago.

Looking down at the silver potion in her hand, Haiyana was surprised as if she had been immobilized, and it took a long time before she looked up at her fiancé and said, "Could it be that you..."

"Yes, I made this potion." Moriarty nodded: "The recipe was obtained by chance before, and it was only recently that it was finally refined. ”

"Morty, this is really... Really..."Hayuna really didn't know what to say, and although she wasn't an alchemist, she knew what the crystal activator meant by the appearance.

In the past, the reason why the price of magic equipment was so expensive, in addition to the extremely high technical threshold, the limitation of materials was also a big reason. Most ordinary metals are not suitable for making magic weapons or armor due to the limitations of their innate magic guiding properties, and a certain percentage of Mithril or other cherished magical metals must be infiltrated into them to make them meet the minimum standards of alchemy. And as a result, manufacturing costs immediately skyrocketed. In addition, the annual production of magic metals such as Mithril is already extremely low, which further pushes up the price of magic equipment. …,

On the other hand, crystal minerals have excellent internal magic conductivity, coupled with a hard and firm structure, which is a very suitable alchemy material. But it is precisely because of the difficulty of shaping that it has been difficult for alchemists to truly develop the alchemy potential of this mineral for a long time. But now, once the crystal activator is introduced, it is truly equivalent to detonating a new "material life" in the entire magical world, and the impact can be described as far-reaching.

"Morty, what are you going to do with it?" Compared to the two, the red crystal gargoyle on the side no longer seems very special and important, Haiyuna looked at her fiancé and asked softly.

"I'll copy the original recipe to Uncle Schmidt. The revised version was handed over to Hockenheim, which was regarded as repaying some favors. ”

Since the Red Crystal Gargoyles were created, Moriarty had no intention of concealing it, nor could he hide it, and the secret of the corresponding crystal activator could not be kept forever. Judging from the current status quo of Earth Studio, it is impossible to support the ability and strength to develop crystal-type alchemy equipment on a large scale. Therefore, instead of suffering from pressure and coercion from all sides, and not much benefit to itself, it is better to throw out the formula of the activator early. In this way, it can not only deepen the roots and connections of Moriarty and Earth Studio in Hockenheim, but also a disguised self-preservation.

Of course, as Moriarty said, although the decision to hand over the recipe was made, there was a difference.

Schmidt, as Moriarty's relative and mentor, has an inseparable relationship, and the blood is thicker than water, so the result will be the original crystal activator recipe that has not been modified. I believe that after Schmidt gets such a formula, he will also guard the secret as if he were his own life. As for the Hockenheim Academy, Moriarty will hand over a "carefully improved" version. Compared with the original version, the modified version of the formula has increased the manufacturing cost by ten times, but has shrunk by nearly seventy percent in terms of activation effectiveness. Taken together, the comprehensive cost of using crystal activators in the future will exceed that of Earth Studios by dozens of times. But even so, Hockenheim's tangible and intangible benefits will be too large to count.

"Well, thank you, Morty." As Moriarty's fiancée and Schmidt's daughter, Hayyna didn't care how much her father's alchemy studio would be strengthened by the crystal activator, she was truly happy that the two most important men in her life could maintain a close relationship. This is what matters in the eyes of Haiyuna.

Two days later, Moriarty traveled alone to Schmidt's Mage's Tower. No one knows what the two alchemists talked about on the main level of the tower. About three hours later, Master Depura inexplicably received an urgent magical communication from a mid-level mage, asking him to hurry to the Mage's Tower once, and the matter was very important. The high-level mage who knew Schmidt's temperament well immediately did not dare to slack off and hurried over, and in addition to Schmidt, waiting for him on the main floor of the tower, there was also Moriarty standing quietly on the side and a translucent pale silver alchemy potion.

"What do you say! Crystal Activator! "It's been so many years, and the high-ranking mage doesn't remember that he's ever had such excitement and excitement. Ignoring the master's demeanor, Depra stepped forward to take the test tube from Moriarty's hand, and almost yelled at the same time.

"Yes, crystal activators, which can be used in alchemical molding for most of the known spar minerals." Not intimidated by the provost who suddenly fell into a "berserk state", Moriarty said in a deep voice.

"You prove it!" Without saying a word, Depra handed the potion back to the other party, and the high-level mage couldn't believe what he had just heard. …,

"Yes, Master."

Moriarty nodded. On the side, Schmidt took a silver plate, which already contained a piece of ink crystal about the size of his thumb.

"Master Depra, this is an ordinary piece of obsidian." Moriarty gestured to Ink Crystal.

"That's right." Depp stretched out his hand and took the crystal in his hand, stroked it carefully for a moment, and then put it back on the plate, and nodded at the same time.

"Yes."

After the other party checked that the raw materials were correct, Moriarty opened the seal of the test tube and slowly poured the translucent solution on the obsidian. Immediately, the hard and abnormal ink crystal instantly seemed to turn into a sponge, absorbing all the liquid that was enough to submerge its crystal. Then, when the activator of the entire test tube was exhausted, a hazy silver glow was immediately wrapped around the surface of the crystal.

"Please."

After waiting for the potion to take effect for about ten minutes, Moriarty gently took the obsidian in his hand, and then clamped the middle and index fingers of his right hand against the crystal. Immediately, the originally spherical ink crystal began to slowly sink towards the center of the ball as if it couldn't withstand the force of two fingers. Then, in Depura's round gaze, Moriarty pinched the two ends of Mojing again, and gently pulled them up to the sides like noodles. Immediately, the crystals that had obviously softened continued to grow and thin with the mage's movements, until they finally reached the limit of traction and broke apart.

"Please wait a little longer." After performing the miracle of shaping, Moriarty smiled slightly, put the two broken rope-shaped ink crystals back into the plate, and then said to the high-level mage.

"Yes." Depra nodded, his face flushed as if he had drunk a fine wine.

After another half hour or so, Moriarty picked up a black crystal from his plate and handed it to the High Mage.

Depra took it lightly and bent the "crystal rope" vigorously, only to feel that the crystal in his hand had regained its original strength and hardness. But what surprised him even more was that the ink crystal that had been treated with crystal activator actually had a slight extra bit of toughness. It's incredible.

Thanks to the "Shenhao 001" and "No Extreme Heavenly Monarch" book friends for their rewards, the New Year's money said, hehe.

Since the beginning of this article, it has been very lonely. Later, with the help of all book friends, I did not abandon a certain image in despicable and ugly, and encouraged and supported it again and again, so that this article could have the honor of being strongly promoted on the day of the snake's head. A certain image is both ashamed and worried. Think about it, only diligence is more embellished, in order to repay the friendship of the book in case.

Thank you so much!!
