That night, Hayuna informed her father of Moriarty's request to purchase a "Muddy Steps" and a "Hydrotherapy" spell learning scroll from the studio. In this regard, the mid-level mage did not express any opinion, but directly opened the permission to let Haiyuna go to the vault on the fourth floor of the mage tower to retrieve the scroll. Of course, the cost of the spell scroll is automatically deducted from the interest-free loan of 50,000 gold coins.

However, after following the "muddy footsteps" and "hydrotherapy", Moriarty temporarily sealed them away. Because the "Fire Magic Defense" was burned in the crystal book, Moriarty planned to first familiarize himself with this newly acquired first-level spell before continuing the rest of the action. After all, the simple mechanical reproduction is not in line with Moriarty's philosophy.

And when the study of spells began to get on track "step by step", most of Moriarty's energy was devoted to the realm of alchemy.

Unlike the study of spells, alchemy is a magical discipline that is extremely hands-on and experience-accumulating. According to the different types of alchemy products, it can be subdivided into many different branches within the system, such as "equipment system", "medicine department", "puppet system", and "special system". Most alchemists, when they first come into contact with alchemy, consciously choose their own path among the various branches, and then continue to study and deepen it throughout their lives. Only a small number of alchemists can navigate between the different branches with ease, and of course to do this, it takes both natural ability and financial support. In particular, it is worth mentioning that His Excellency Schmidt is such a cross-branch alchemist.

"Morty, which branch do you want to choose as your main attack? The contract is only limited to one year, so there is no room for parallel development. In the renovated assistant's studio, Hayyna asked earnestly as she carefully placed a batch of newly rented alchemy tools on the workbench.

Since the relationship had been formalized, Hayura merged herself directly with Moriarty's assistant studio. His Excellency Schmidt was silent on the surface for such a straightforward move, but in fact he happily adjusted the architectural structure of the Mage Tower, connecting the two rooms that were originally adjacent to each other. Seeing her father like this, Haiyuna became a little shy afterwards, and even embarrassed to go to the main floor of the tower to deliver food to the mid-level mage for several days.

"Alchemy Elixir." Standing at the other end of the new studio, Moriarty carefully sorted and marked the alchemy raw materials he had bought from the studio, and placed them one by one into a huge storage cabinet that took up the entire wall. In order to protect some special or precious raw materials from mutation, this locker is also solidified with a storage circle.

"Elixir? Well, good direction. Haiyuna looked at Moriarty and nodded, "Dad's workshop is famous for the 'Blue Beauty' potion. ”

"Yes, but that's not my goal." Moriarty shook his head.

In fact, the reason why Moriarty chose his initial alchemy entry point as a potion is because Schmidt is recognized as a first-class master in this branch, and he can learn from him as much as he can; But an even more important reason is that two of the three alchemical recipes that Morarty obtained from the Arcanist Codex from the Elven Empire were related to potions. And if he can make achievements and breakthroughs in alchemy potions first, then Moriarty will have an important hole card that can survive and develop alone in the field of alchemy in the future.

"That's nature. In Hockenheim's assessment, Blue Beauty can be regarded as a mid-level alchemy potion. It is impossible for a beginner to learn how to make it in a year. Hayyna chuckled softly. …,

"I know." Moriarty smiled as well.

There is a sentence that Hayyna did not say, but Moriarty could also guess it directly. As the flagship product of Schmidt's studio, Blue Beauty's formula and craftsmanship are naturally top secret. Not only was it impossible for Moriarty to get it right away, but even Hayura didn't know. On this point, Moriarty understands Schmidt's approach. For an alchemist, the recipe of materials, the process of alchemy, and the equation of alchemy are his greatest wealth and deepest secret. Similarly, the recipes for "Phantom Cologne" and "Crystal Activator" are impossible for Moriarty to publish lightly, unless for some special reason.

"I'll build yì, why don't you choose the 'brute force potion'." At this time, Haiyuna suddenly said. This is a first-class alchemy elixir that is mainly used to temporarily increase the user's strength and physique.

"Brute Force Potion... I've heard that it seems to be sold in most magic shops, and there are many warrior professionals who buy it. "Moriarty had seen the introduction of this potion in the Elementary Alchemy Guide.

"That's right. It's only a first-class potion, so it's just right for you to learn. Hayyuna continued.

"There is practicality, there is demand, and the level is appropriate." Moriarty thought about it carefully and affirmed the girl's recommendation: "And because the brute force potion is a widely circulated alchemical potion, the formula can almost be regarded as public. If you aim for it, you don't have to spend a lot of money to buy recipes. ”

Transforming his studio, renting alchemy tools, buying raw materials, and making special lockers, Moriarty's interest-free loan cost another $10,000 in a matter of days. Of course, if it weren't for the special price offered by Studio Schmidt, I'm afraid that this figure would have been more than half. Therefore, Moriarty did not intend to spend a large amount of extra money on the issue of the formula of the alchemy potion.

"Well, then, it's decided." Seeing that her opinion was finally accepted by Moriarty, Haiyuna was also very happy: "The recipe is available in the studio, I'll go get it later." ”

"Okay, thanks." Moriarty thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "What about you, Haiyana?" What are the study plans? Is the focus on spells or alchemy? ”

"Spell it. You've already learned two level 1 spells, and you're planning to become a full-fledged mage next year, so I don't want to be left behind too much. Haiyuna replied directly, obviously having already figured it out.

"Yes. Then you might as well learn the 'Magic Arrow' for your second spell. I have some experience and experience in this spell, and I can help you master it on the side. At this time, Moriarty said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Without hesitation, Hayyna agreed.

In the days that followed, Moriarty began twenty hours a day of alchemical experimentation and study. Aside from the essential physical exercises, Moriarty no longer steps out of the studio. Experiment, Meditation, Spell Learning, Rest, Experiment, Meditation, Spell Learning...... Moriarty is like a precise and boring clock, completing the daily practice of spells and alchemy.

At the request of Moriarty, Haiyuna also temporarily let go of the chores inside the mage tower, and directly hired two mage apprentices from the academy to complete all kinds of tedious clerical work.

Three months later, Moriarty, who had mastered the "Fire Magic Defense", put "Muddy Steps" in the crystal book. At the same time, with regard to the brute force potion, Moriati completed the analysis and derivation of its alchemical equation, and began to prepare the sixteen raw materials required for refining the potion one by one.

Six months later, the "muddy footsteps" were digested. Combined with Breath of the Wind, Moriarty already has a very useful set of combination spells. …,

However, after the "muddy footsteps", Moriarty did not immediately burn the "hydrotherapy", because the pressure on the alchemy line was constantly surging, and he no longer had the time and energy to fight on two fronts.

"Morty, is it still not working?"

Another failed experiment, and the studio was filled with a sour and pungent gray smoke. As an assistant, Kaiyuna immediately turned on the ventilation system to suck the mist away, but her white and tender cheeks were still red from the smoke.

"Yes, it failed. The heating of the solution overconducts an abnormal outbreak of 'living properties', which in turn triggers a 'chain Niel reaction'. Standing straight in front of the test bench, Moriarty's eyes were even starting to become bloodshot, but he was still staring intently at the half-broken transparent test tube on the stand in front of him and the dark green liquid that only left a little bit of zài in it.

"This is the eighteenth time." Haiyuna looked at Moriarty and sighed softly.

"Haiyna, how many kiks do we have?" At this time, Moriarty asked in a deep voice.

"An ounce or so of stock." Haiyuna thought for a moment and replied.

"Looks like we'll have to buy a little more." Moriarty nodded, and instead of speaking, he began to pick up the debris and smudges from the test bench, and then set up the new equipment to test again.

"Morty, take a break. You've been working fourteen hours straight. Although Haiyuna also stepped forward to help, she couldn't help but persuade.

"I will, try again, and rest." Moriarty turned his head, trying to squeeze a smile out of his face that had begun to stiffen.

"I'm going to get some hot soup and drink a little before going to bed, it's good for the body." Seeing such a smile, Haiyuna gently stepped forward to hug Moriati, rested her head on his chest, and after a long time let go, and walked out of the studio.

"Thank you." Moriarty took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the test bench.

Thirty minutes later, with a deafening popping sound, choking smoke filled the studio again

The chill is deepening, and it's time for all book friends to add food and clothing.
