Chapter 266: The Problem of Purification

readx;? In the next few days, Cronis and the elders of the elven clan are still busy with the extraction of the spring of life, they need a large number of plants in the elven forest that have been moistened by the spring of life, there are all kinds of plants in the elven forest, but this is definitely not a simple job, only a little spring of life nourishes the entire elven forest, so the amount of spring of life contained in each plant is very small, if they only need one or two drops of spring of life water, it is okay to deal with it, but to extract enough spring of life water to awaken the tree of the world, I don't know how much to refine it to。 Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So all the elven elders set their eyes on the fallen ancient war tree, because the one that absorbs the most life spring water belongs to the ancient war tree that stands up to the sky, if the remains of the war ancient tree can be used for the refining of the life spring, it is estimated that it can top the value of hundreds of thousands of trees, but the war ancient tree was made by Grantham after all, and his remains are equivalent to Grantham's remains. The body of a former king who sacrificed his life for the country is enough for everyone to admire, how can it be used as a medicinal herb?

Faced with the remains of the Ancient Tree of War, the Elven Elders were so frightened and worried that even mentioning them felt that it was a blasphemy against the previous king. In the end, it was Clonis who made the decision, and it can be used, his father was originally sacrificed for the race, and now for the rebirth of the World Tree, he can sacrifice again, and if his father has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely be happy.

So, with Klonis's consent, all the remains of the Ancient War Tree were collected, and the main branches were broken down into pieces and placed in containers.

According to the parchment scroll left by the old man Gabriel, the elven elders quickly figured out that this method of extracting elven holy water was actually a purification technique, but the elves themselves had never thought that they could extract their holy relics by this method similar to brewing rum with higher purity.

The process of purification is troublesome to operate, but the principle is very simple, first the plant containing the spring of life is juiced, the juice is filtered, and then distilled to remove the excess water and other components inside, this process is to use the characteristics of the spring of life to withstand high temperatures, the spring of life will not volatilize at high temperatures, so when the other mixed liquids are evaporated, the last remaining is the spring of life.

The elves are busy extracting the spring of life, it is the happiest time in Miranda's life, Alan and Miranda ride the elf Pegasus to visit the scenery of the elf forest during the day, the elf forest is not only covered with plains, the terrain inside is actually very complex, there are rivers, lakes, mountains, canyons, etc., there are all kinds of rare beasts in it, and there are some almost isolated villages, maintaining the oldest customs, which opened the eyes of both of them. And what makes the little girl happiest is that Wanda really kept her promise, and Fresnel never appeared again.

However, this free life did not last long, and one morning, Cronis came to the door with a sad face.

"Alan, we're in trouble again. ”

Cronis found a chair and sat down on his own, then said straight to the point.

"Why? Isn't the method written on the parchment useless?"

Alan was instructing the little girl on the carving skills of the fire magic needle, and asked without raising his head, knowing that Cronis must have come this time because there was a problem with the extraction of the spring of life.

"Alas, there should be no problem with the method, the problem is in our ability. ”

Looking at the leisurely Ellen, Klonis said in frustration that he had repeatedly turned to Allen for help, making him, the proud elven king, completely disgraced.

"Oh, what can make you, the king, sigh?"

Eren finally put down the magic materials in his hand and focused on Cronis.

"The extraction of the Fountain of Life went smoothly at first, in addition to the World Tree, we also collected the branches and leaves of millions of years old trees, and squeezed, filtered and boiled them, and finally we got a large pot of diluted Fountain of Life. But at this point, we can't go any further, and there's no way we can further improve the purity of the liquid. ”

Clonis gave a brief overview of the difficulties they are currently facing.

"I don't know much about the Fountain of Life, but you can try using this liquid, and maybe you can awaken the World Tree. ”

Alan listened carefully to Clonis's description, and for a moment did not think of what he could help.

"Yes, we've tried what you said, but no, the World Tree is different from other creatures, and diluted elven holy water doesn't work against it. However, we analysed the reasons why we could not continue purification, and finally came to the conclusion that the flame we used was not hot enough to evaporate the other components of the diluted liquid. ”

"What kind of flame are you using? ”

"Wood. ”

"The temperature of the wood is indeed much worse, why don't you get some oil?"

According to Allen, the temperature of fire oil is higher than that of ordinary wood, but the burning time is shorter, and the charcoal prepared from iron pine wood can produce high temperatures when burned, which is an excellent fuel for forging metal, but iron pine wood is mainly produced in the northern edge of the Capra Mountains, and it is easier to obtain fire oil than it, and it can be bought everywhere in the areas where humans live on the continent.

"Allen, the fuel we use is from the northernmost pine of the Elven Forest, the temperature produced by the burning of this pine is no longer below the fire oil, it is not easy to find a higher burning temperature than the pine on the mainland, even if there is a very small amount. ”

Clonis mentions that Pinus tabuliformis is an excellent fuel like Iron Pine because of the oil content in its wood.

"It seems that the only way to do this is to use earthfire, which is much hotter than fuel and can easily melt rocks and metals. ”

Speaking of the lack of temperature of the flame, Alan naturally remembered the earth fire, which is actually the fire of lava, when Master Thorne took away the black stone that was suspected to be the star stone, it was because the temperature of the ordinary furnace was not enough, so he had to find the fire in the center of the earth with the highest temperature in the earth fire.

"We've also thought about the fire in the center of the earth, but the closest place to find the fire in the center of the earth is a thousand miles away from the elven forest, and we can't take the fire in the center of the earth, so we can only bring the liquid that needs to be extracted, which is not realistic at all. Even if the elves' long life allows us to have enough patience to wait, but the Holy See and the Higg army on the southern and western borders will not wait, they are now gathering the people, cutting down the forest, especially the military land in the south is very fast, although we have sent troops to stop it, but they can still go hundreds of steps deep every day, at this rate, it will not take many years, the elven forest will completely disappear from the continent, and even if we can extract a sufficient amount of life spring water at that time, I am afraid that it will not help. And throughout the extraction process, we must also ensure that our whereabouts cannot be detected by humans, otherwise it will be useless. ”

Clonis shook his head and said, apparently they had thought it over and finally rejected it.
