Chapter Twenty-Five: Professor Wonderful
After standing up to Sander, not only did the night frost feel very cool, but even the invitation and others also had a feeling of raising their eyebrows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info local tyrant invited him to wave his hand immediately, and took Ye Hanshuang and Li Yannian and others to the cafeteria for a little corruption, and then returned to the dormitory.
Flipping through the schedule, the afternoon class, the last class of the week, is an overview of basic alchemy theory. I have to say that this is the sadness of the first grade, everything is just a theoretical overview, to say that the good point is to lay the foundation for the future practical application learning, to say that the bad point is a bunch of pure theoretical text formulas, except for memorization is memorization! I can't say that learning this thing is useless, but it is really boring enough.
Before class, Night Hanshuang habitually flipped through the textbook, and the content of the first class was not much, mainly to introduce some well-known alchemy materials. In addition to introducing the most common alchemy materials, it also introduces two top-level alchemy materials: Adamantite and Mithril.
There are few magicians who are not familiar with these two metals, ordinary metals have strong magical resistance, which will affect the elemental gathering and return of magic to magicians, and even affect the casting of magic. Because of this, the mages who were supposed to focus on protection on the battlefield still could not wear armor but a robe, and some wore wooden armor and rattan armor, which was really limited.
As a result, once the melee begins, mages who lack melee self-protection skills are often killed by cold arrows that come out of nowhere.
Magicians are not in short supply of resources in the Aegean Continent now, and eight out of ten people can use one or two low-level magic, but although a magician of this level is also called a magician, no one has really counted him. In fact, especially in battle, this kind of magician who can only use one or two elementary magic tricks is really limited.
And high-level magicians are in short supply, and even the graduation requirement of the top magic school in the continent, such as St. Francis Scientist, is only to obtain the title of intermediate magician. However, no more than 1 in 10 of the thousands of students enrolled each year graduate in one go. And more than ninety percent of these tenths will not increase in a lifetime, that is, this level will not increase anymore, and the role of mages at this level on the battlefield is still very limited. It's hard for their magic to cover a wide range of blows, and it's okay to fight in small battles in peacetime, but the effect of large-scale battles is really average.
And the higher mages are precious, a high-level mage casts full power high-level magic on the battlefield The effect is terrifying, but correspondingly they are also rare. Although this number is really not a small number for the entire continent, it is a bit inadequate to divide it into various countries, families, and forces. As for the more advanced magicians, such as the Magus or the Magister, there are a few of them.
The power of a magician's magic is huge, but correspondingly, the more advanced the magic, the more time it takes to prepare. A high-level magic can only be performed through a series of complex and rigorous processes, and in this process, the mage is even more fragile than a baby, and a third-class soldier with a wooden stick can knock him down!
However, mages who can't wear ordinary metal armor can't use ordinary metal as protection, so they can only start working on various special metals. The more common of these are Adamantite and Mithril. Of course, this common is relative to magicians, and the Francisco Empire, one of the three major powers of the continent, will not produce more than 100 grams of Mithril a year, and will not exceed 100 tons of adamantite gold.
Don't think that the production of adamantite gold is larger than that of Mithril, the reason why the difference is so huge is that the metal yield is generally calculated using mass, and if the volume is used, the two are comparable, and they will not exceed half a cubic meter.
Mithril is an incredible metal, so tough that it is almost indestructible if forged into a weapon, but it is lighter than a feather, the metal that all warriors and magicians dream of. Adamantite is completely different, although Adamantite is better than Mithril in terms of hardness and toughness, but the density is amazingly large, a grain the size of a grain of wheat has a kilogram, and a large fist is not held by ordinary people at all! In addition to the same grade of special metals, other metals will cause a special metal crack when they come into contact with pure gold. And this cutting force also has an amazing effect on magical defenses!
The top alchemists in the Aegean continent are good at carving magic arrays on weapons to make them have the effect of destroying magical defenses, which is the famous 'Annihilation Armor' magic circle, but if they have enough pure gold, this magic array is not so thirsty. Because Adamantite itself has the property of defending against tearing, many divine weapons on the mainland will be coated with a layer of Adamantite. As for weapons made entirely of Adamantite, not to mention how expensive the production of Adamantite Gold must be, that weight alone discourages 99.9999 percent of warriors.
Magicians are not only tough metals suitable for making weapons, but they are also excellent magical metals that can be used to forge magical equipment, and if they are blessed with defensive magic, then they are life-saving tools at critical moments.
Magic in magical equipment can be instantaneous. The best magic storage sequencer in nature is the crystal nucleus of high-level Warcraft, but high-level Warcraft is not so easy to mess with, and the strength of top-level Warcraft is not inferior to that of top-level magicians, and most magicians themselves don't have the strength to obtain that kind of thing. Then, carving a magic circle on magic metal to store magic has become the choice of most magicians, and adamantite and mythril have become two extremely important materials in alchemy.
In class, as Night Frost and others expected, the class was boring and boring. The large introductions and a large number of notes made Ye Hanshuang and others have a headache and drowsiness. I have to say that alchemy is difficult, far more difficult than ordinary magic, and it is no wonder that top alchemists are much more dangerous than magicians of the same level!
However, if the dangers of alchemists are feared, their wealth is somewhat enviable! Alchemists are also proficient in the production of magical equipment, so they often carry all kinds of strange magical equipment on their bodies, enough to make a magician of the same level scramble. If these equipment are taken out and sold, they are often sold for a large price. After all, most magicians are just like Night Frost and the others at this time, but they have only learned some basic alchemy knowledge and theories, and they don't have the ability to make magic equipment at all. At most, I will meet and get acquainted, and I will collect some materials!
Night Frost and the others had inquired with the seniors before the class, and the tutor assigned by the academy to the first class of the kamikaze and the first class of the flame was a magician-level alchemist, Maguire. Like most alchemists, Maguire is proficient in both metal and flame magic, but he is majoring in flame magic, and the strength of metal magic is still a little weak, if he can cultivate metal to the same level as the flame system, then the academy is likely to have one more magister!
Maguire was a very old-fashioned teacher, and he was also very skilled, and he was the eldest of the few teachers in the academy who had the title of Magister. In addition to strength, the elderly also have a wealth of experience, and they know all kinds of metals and medicines well. In his class, Night Frost and the others had a good look at the strength of the top alchemist, and he sealed two or three magic in a random ring, and at least it was high-level magic! The most terrifying thing was that the material of his ring was not special magic metal, but the most ordinary steel.
"I don't know how you understand alchemists, and I don't really care. Professor Maguire said this in the first class: "In fact, I don't understand the arrangement of the academy, and I actually arranged for the flame department and the wind department to take classes together!" As he spoke......, the professor glanced at the students in the class, who were roughly divided into two camps: "The flame department can be said to be the one with the most potential for alchemy among the four main departments, and the wind department is the most hopeless department, and it is really strange to teach these two departments together!"
"Anyway, except for the Flame Department, only first-year alchemy is a compulsory course for students in other departments, and it will only be an elective course in the future. Even if you are a student of the Flame Department, this course only lasts until the third year, so whether you study hard or mess around, it is your problem, and the academy will not pay me a copper plate salary less because of your grades. As he spoke, he glanced at the students who were a little stunned by what he had said, and continued, "I understand that most people who study magic are only interested in flashy magic. After all, alchemy doesn't look so handsome. Alchemists are a group of people who can endure loneliness, studying for more than ten hours a day just for the optimal ratio of a few prescriptions or the melting point and compatibility of several metals. So, if you want to learn, I will pass the knowledge to you without reservation, and if you don't like it, I won't force it, as long as you can pass the exam, okay, let's start the class!"
"This teacher really has a personality!" Ye Hanshuang whispered to the invitation and Li Yan beside him, and both of them nodded in agreement. Jiang Shan and the other two girls, who were sitting with them, also nodded their heads again and again.
Indeed, the teacher who said in the first class that I don't care about your grades at all is not unique but definitely rare in the world.
Professor Maguire ignored the small movements of Night Frost and the others, opened the textbook, glanced at it and closed it, thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't have much hope that many of you will be able to achieve some achievements in the advanced and rigorous academic science of alchemy in the future, but the world is unpredictable, in order to prevent the real talent of children in this field from being buried, I still have to guide your interests appropriately!"
Ye Hanshuang and the others who said this are even more sweaty, saying that it is enough to make people speechless if they don't have hope for the students, is this kind of thing to guide interest directly said? Night Hanshuang secretly slandered, this guy probably would have been dismissed from the academy if he hadn't been outstanding, right? But what Professor Maguire said below instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the class!
"Blue Zerbrunn Magic Fire Copper, Hilnanis Magic Wind Gold! Two of the most special four magic metals in the Aegean can double the flame magic force and the wind magic force respectively! If you don't understand the professional term of doubling the magic force, let me explain to you, that is, the magic power is doubled, and the consumption is halved!"
The whole class was in an uproar, you must know that half of the class is fire and generally wind, and these two metals are simply the supreme treasure in their eyes!
Blue Brown Magic Fire Bronze, Hilnanis Magic Wind Gold!Night Frost secretly wrote down these two names, and at the same time admired in his heart, this professor really has a hand! I know what is the most attractive, indeed, is there anything more attractive to flame and wind students than these two things? This professor is very powerful, although it is a little out of the ordinary......
