After Moriarty had finished the refreshments, Haiyuna no longer insisted on doing it herself, but instructed the maid on the side to clean up the mess, and she went to the Earth Studio with her fiancé. In the studio, a personal room has already been prepared for Haiyna. Although the facilities are relatively simple, they are sufficient to meet most of the learning and practical needs of mage apprentices and even low-level mages. After another gentle kiss with Moriarty, Hayarty entered the room alone, closing the closed door, while Moriarty turned and walked into the central processing unit that belonged to her.

This is the mage's world, and no intimate worldly relationship can interfere with each other's separate journeys of magic.

In the central processing unit, a large number of alchemy raw materials are placed in an orderly manner in rows of mana storage compartments. Those were all items to be processed from the three alchemy studios that had placed orders with Moriarty.

Closing the door to the central unit, Moriarty walked to the center of the alchemy room, then slowly looked around, and after a little thought, decided to dispose of the business from Laika's studio.

Of all the three alchemy studios that have placed orders with Moriarty, his relationship with Laika Studio is arguably the most distant.

Because both Schmidt and Vegeta are registered mages affiliated with Hockenheim, the alchemy workshop presided over by these two mages is naturally equivalent to the internal studio of the academy. As for Laika, this well-known alchemist who is proficient in making magic equipment and magic weapons is directly under the orders of the City Lord's Mansion, and even has the administrative title of "Director of the Armory Workshop of Blue Crystal City" on his head, which can be said to be an out-and-out "public man". Therefore, the Laika Studio can naturally also be regarded as a directly subordinate institution under the City Lord's Mansion. As a result, whether it is in terms of connections or available resources, Laika has a convenience and advantage that is difficult for the other two alchemy peers to replicate.

Glancing at the row of storage compartments against the wall on the right, Moriarty gently removed a heavy black wooden box half a meter square from one of the compartments and placed it on the workbench. Then he casually lifted the magic seal on it, opened the lid of the box, and immediately saw that the box was full of pale silver Sicot ore.

Sicott mineral sands are a special mineral produced in the southwestern part of Bracada and can only be collected and screened in the silt layer at the bottom of the Pamir salt water lake in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Several nearby goblin villages have settled on the shores of the Pamirs for hundreds of years, making a living by digging for mud and sand and selling it to the outside world.

Speaking of which, Sicot mineral sands is also a relatively rare mineral, and the annual production is not high, but its price in the market is always low. The reason for this is that Sicot ore is a rare type of symbiotic mineral, and each grain is less than the size of a grain of wheat kernel contains four to five different metallic substances. However, to refine these different varieties of metals in different categories and ensure certain purity requirements, it is not a technology that ordinary metallurgical workshops or blacksmiths can master. This means that the only end buyers of Sicot Ore can be alchemy studios that specialize in magical equipment or weapon manufacturing.

The processing requirements proposed by the Laika studio to Moriarty this time were to extract at least 50 ounces of glass copper core with a purity of not less than 83 percent and fifteen ounces of jadeite iron with a purity of not less than 70 percent from a total of about 1,000 pounds of Sicott ore. For this purpose, Laika will pay a total of 10,000 gold coins to Earth Studio, and other types of metal extracted from the Sicott ore will also belong to Moriarty.

It looks like this is a pretty lucrative contract for co-packing, and if it is completed, the total revenue of Earth Studios will reach nearly 20,000 gold coins. However, it was such a high-margin order, and Schmidt had secretly persuaded Moriarty to abandon it. For no other reason, the magic and time required to smelt all kinds of metallic substances from such a large amount and so fine Sicot ore is staggering. Not to mention that in the refining process, there are extraordinary requirements for the alchemist's control and stamina. …,

According to the original words of the mid-level mage: "This business is simply a poisonous incense bait thrown by the City Lord's Mansion, and its target is likely to be the nascent Earth Studio. ”

However, Schmidt's persuasion ultimately failed, and Moriarty calmly and calmly swallowed the hot business, which was more likely to be hot. In this regard, the middle-level mage could only sigh.

Removing the mineral sand from the wooden box in batches and pouring it into a large brown tongs pot on the other side of the workbench, Moriarty then activated the heating magic array that had been preset in the workbench. An invisible wave of heat rushed by, and the brown tongs began to redden. The slightly rough tongs are enclosed in the pot, and a slight bulge the size of a pinpoint emits a red light. It is as if the boiling heat energy from the bottom of the pot is concentrated on these protrusions by conduction, and the aggregation is strengthened.

After another ten minutes, the noodles of the tong pot had turned into a sea of red mangs. Faintly, you can even see some of the needle tip protrusions, as if they can't withstand the terrible high temperature and heat energy, and they slowly melt and soften. And it was only then that the Sicott mineral in the pot finally began to change. Some black juice emerges from the surface of the fine ore grains like fine sweat, and then gathers more and more, slowly mixing into a somewhat thin layer of black water, covering the entire mineral sand.

"The 'dot matrix alchemy cauldron' is really good. Although it is expensive, it heats up very well. Even without additional mana control, it was enough to melt Sicot's impurities. Moriarty couldn't help but nod lightly as he watched the layers of black liquid in the tongs pot gather in layers.

When all the impurities in the pot were dissolved, Moriarty cleaned up the black water, leaving behind the Sicot mineral sand, which had changed from a pale silver to a dazzling bright silver.

"There's no more cunning to do that."

Moriarty examined the fine sand in the pot for a while, then picked up a lead spoon with a long handle, scooped out some hot mineral sand, and put it into a special transparent vessel on the other side. Next, I saw Moriarty stretch out his left hand and gently press it on the work surface about half a foot in front of the transparent vessel, and the magic furnace under the vessel was activated at the same time.

A faint red ripple flashed through EarthStudio's central processing unit, and Moriarty's fire elemental realm (pseudo) opened silently.

Soon, a little bit of crimson golden light visible to the naked eye flew up from the magic furnace like a spirit. Then, these brilliant points of light completely ignored the barrier of the transparent vessel, and under the guidance of Moriarty's spiritual power, they arranged into a "Star of David", which directly penetrated the inner whirlwind of the fine sand. From afar, it looks as if a small rising sun is rising in a glassware. However, for some reason, this round of seemingly incomparably hot light was extremely condensed. Even if you touch the rim of the cup with your hand at this moment, you won't feel how much heat comes out.

In just five minutes, the Lan nickel, which has the lowest melting point in the Sicott ore sand, was successfully melted, and because the temperature control is extremely accurate, the dissolved Lan nickel is extremely pure.

If any other alchemist saw the scene in front of him, he would surely exclaim a miracle. A first-class alchemist who was just starting out had made a near-perfect refinement of the Sicot mineral sands so lightly and naturally, which would not have been possible in any known historical experience.

However, this is the result of using the Fire Elemental Realm (pseudo) to manipulate the internal circulation heating, a result that was previously only possible in the hands of high-level fire mages.

Because of the magical concealment in the central processing unit, Moriarty does not have to worry about revealing the secrets of his elemental realm, and can also be more comfortable in releasing the realm.

After several hours of refining, Moriarty has successfully processed a significant amount of Sicott ore. The extracted finished products are also collected in five different storage tanks. Of course, in order to control the purity of the final product and avoid unnecessary trouble, when refining the last two glass copper cores and jadeite iron, Moriarty also deliberately poured some impurities and other metal powders back. In the end, the purity of the two highest-value metal semi-finished products was suppressed at the critical line of 82 percent and 70 percent, respectively. …,

And according to the strength of an ordinary first-level alchemist, to complete all the above work, with the help of good luck, it will take at least three weeks or even a month. This is the huge gap between low-level mages and high-level mages with fire elemental realm (pseudo).

Because he had promised his fiancée to prepare dinner with him, after the processed semi-finished products were cleaned and stored, Moriarty left the central processing unit. Coincidentally, when I came outside, I met Haiyana who also walked out of the actual yàn room. When the two met, they couldn't help but smile sweetly together, and left the alchemy studio together.

Dinner was simple and quick to prepare, but Hayrina and Moriarty were more concerned with the process of doing it together.

In the evening, White returned, and the three of them dined together.

After the meal, Hayruna went back to the studio on her own, while Moriarty informed White of the arrangements for his armor, shield, and crossbow. White had no objection to this, saying that it was up to Moriarty to decide.

Because of his stay in the Olympus Gardens, White offered to be in charge of the security and guarding of the entire building as a follower. Moriarty nodded in agreement, and at the same time Jianyì White picked a few pairs of hounds to return tomorrow, such as the extremely territorial and vigilant Brada wolfdog. This can help White save a lot of security energy, and it is also a great benefit in night vigilance.

About half an hour later, Moriarty said goodbye to White and went back to the studio. White stepped out of the house and took a walk through the garden on a cold winter night. At the same time, I am familiar with every plant and every corner of the Olympus Garden

In the new week, ask for recommendations and collections.

Bye-h-bae-gh!!
