Chapter 9: New Developments in Alchemy

In class~ In Mei Lansha's consciousness, the normal school in that world began to learn theoretical knowledge, which is absolutely torture for Mei Lansha, whose head is no different from a computer, and she may know more than in books. But after all, she didn't go to school, so Melansha was a little curious about the so-called school.

And now, sighing for the tenth breath of this morning, looking at the old man who is still chattering and falling into a state of selflessness, ah, no, teacher, it's so boring~ Isn't he thirsty? talked about the origin, traceability, development, role, significance, achievements and future of alchemy all morning, and then looked at the classmates around her, very good, she is not the only one.

Sighing again, Melansha told herself in her heart: I am a good student, and I must not skip class in the first period, but what if it is still like this in the afternoon? I don't know what the situation is like for Bagan and Saihan, it can't be the same for them in class, right? Big head, big head.

A certain ghost's brows furrowed unconsciously.

"This classmate, do you have any comments on what I said?" A voice on the stage paused, and when it sounded again, it was headed for Melanza. This is not to say that people are targeting Melansha, but in this teacher's heart, the alchemist is sacred, and now, this student is actually frowning, and he was obviously not distracted just now. Such blasphemy of alchemy is absolutely unforgivable.

Melansha hadn't come back to her senses yet, and continued to be in a daze.

The teacher's brows above also wrinkled, black hair, isn't it the little lady of the Ruoxia family, I heard the principal say that she is a very good little girl, but now she looks, no matter how you look at it, she is an unmotivated aristocratic lady who comes to the school to mess around.

"Miss Josia, do you have any grievances about my class? Miss Josia! The last five words are shouted.

Melansha finally returned from the fugue, and looked at the darkened teacher above, and then looked at the gloating expressions of some people around her. Melansa raised her eyebrows, she was a resourceful Melanza, how could she let others see the joke.

After making up his mind, he stood up with a serious face, and said respectfully to the teacher on the stage: "Sorry teacher, I was thinking about a question about the effect of alchemy just now, and I was too engrossed in it, so I didn't pay attention to the teacher calling me." ”

Because someone's expression was too serious, and the shallow person would really believe her words, but the person above had eaten more salt than her food, and he was completely suspicious in his heart.

"Oh? If you're thinking about the effects of alchemy, then you can say it now, maybe the teacher can help you answer it. ”

Mei Lansha nodded solemnly and said: "Just like the teacher said, alchemy is very great, it is definitely synonymous with miracles, we alchemists can create magical potions to make warriors more powerful, and magicians' magic more powerful." Iron puppets can be created, although this technology has now been lost, but in the past, our great ancestors used puppets to sweep the dark battlefield to resist the invasion of demons, as long as there are puppet alchemists present in the battle, it is a nightmare for the enemy. It can be said that sometimes an alchemist is the difference between victory and defeat, and I have always been proud of my choice to become an alchemist. "Speaking of this, it's good, everyone's attention is here, and everyone listening to it is called concentration. For students, this is much more than listening to the hard truth above.

"But why is alchemy as I know it applied to the battlefield or to a warrior? Why can't alchemy be applied to the daily lives of ordinary people? After speaking, he looked at the teacher a little timidly, recklessly because he was afraid that the other party would be angry. (Definitely loaded)

The eyes of everyone, including the teacher above, were stunned, what a novel statement. A certain teacher's eyes encouraged a certain charm to continue.

Melansha pushed the large glasses on the bridge of her nose and continued.

"Take ordinary people's farming as an example, every time it is time to plant, civilians have to go down to the field to plant rice, maybe many of you here don't know, farming is really hard, first you have to plow the ground, and when planting rice, their waists are always bent. I can't describe the specifics, once I also went to the ground, but I couldn't stand it in less than five minutes, and I can only use seven words to describe my situation at that time: back pain, leg cramps. If you don't believe it, you can try it, and I believe it will definitely be remembered for a lifetime.

Food is our foundation, and no one can live without food.

I once met an alchemist who said he was working on a dragon slaying potion. Looking at everyone's expressions, you can know that you are surprised, or envious, dragon, the most powerful existence on the continent, if you can research a dragon slaying potion, it will not be a hair. Don't look at me with weird eyes, I'm just looking at this through the eyes of a businessman. If you really research the dragon slaying potion, the reputation, status, and money are not one, and they are all coming. However, since the dragon is the most powerful existence, it can be seen that its strength must be about the same as that of the god level, or even above, if you want to study a way to kill it easily, in other words, isn't it to study a potion that can easily kill a god-level master? To be honest, this ideal is very good and valuable for research. However, to be realistic, how many ancestors have spent their lives studying this potion, but no one has ever succeeded.

Compared to legendary things like dragon slaying potions, I think it is so simple to research an alchemy product that can be easily cultivated by farmers, and moreover, after such a thing really appears, it will benefit the civilians of the entire continent. Besides, the dragon clan generally lives on Dragon Island, and it is not impossible to deal with a few saint-level masters who come out alone.

Of course, I'm not saying that it's bad to study dragon slaying potions, or that alchemists are bad at studying to improve combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment every day, but I just think that within the scope of my ability, it is not true that whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, can live a better life. I think that if anyone really studies something other than improving the farming problems of the peasants, the people of the whole continent will thank you and will always remember you.

There is another point I think must be said, the rules of alchemy, equivalent exchange, how many people have lost their limited lives because of this potion, if you don't really love the discipline of alchemy, if you just want to be honored, please give up your exploration of legendary existences such as dragon slaying potions.

Teacher, I'm done talking. ”

Sit down and wait for a response from above.

Everyone was immersed in Melansha's words, there were commoners and nobles, maybe there were princes of some country or something, and the idea that alchemy would act on the battlefield or create some poison antidote or something like that had been ingrained in their minds for a long time, and now they suddenly heard that they were going to apply it to their lives, and their heads really couldn't turn around.

"That doesn't match your identity, does it?" The teacher didn't answer, and one of the students below spoke.

"Identity? What identity? The identity of an alchemist, or the identity of a person's aristocracy? The one who opened his mouth looked like a nobleman, "What is the identity of an alchemist, alchemy is just a profession, among us, some of us are commoners and some are nobles." Our job is, to put it bluntly, to create something of value and to give it to the right people. We create magic healing potions, sell them to magicians, we make money, and then spend a lot of time creating something of high value, and exchange it for a higher price or a reputation status. Don't be angry, I'm not speaking ill of alchemists. To become an alchemist, some people are willing to give everything for this cause because they like it, and some people are just for money and reputation.

But don't forget, it's one thing whether an alchemist is good or not, and another thing, and the most important thing, is money. The most important thing for us alchemists is alchemy materials, those are not simply what you want to get, and some rare materials need to spend countless money and time to find, even if ordinary people forget it, they will definitely not be able to afford it, and they still have to use their other alchemy products to sell or exchange materials. Aristocrats? If you only get in and can't get out, no matter how much money you have, you won't be able to spend it in a few years because of buying alchemy materials.

To put it simply, whoever you choose to be an alchemist, you have to deal with money.

In this world, there are definitely many more civilians than warriors, magicians, or nobles, and you spend decades researching a combat item and succeed, but those people will only end up using it except when they go to battle or fight people, and all the other times they should be put aside as decorations. But if you study something that is relatively short and used by a lot of people, although it is cheaper, it will make money much faster, and with money, it can better support you to complete the following research, and you can also use it in your own daily life. More importantly, you have earned the respect and affection of the common people.

If it were me, I would like to see others using what I have created every day, just like the magic lamp of our academy, if you designed and created it, if you can see this lamp everywhere you go, wouldn't it be very fulfilling, would you feel great, because it is the night that brightens, so that we are no longer afraid of the dark. However, if you can only see it in Lobut College, that is to say, there are no such lights in the rest of the college, it will be very boring, and I feel that I don't even have the passion to continue researching. ”

Foucault and Moreau once said that Melantha has a magical little mouth, which can say that the dead are alive, and the black is white, and that any distortion can become very straight as long as she wants to, and if something itself has a little truth, plus Melanza will become a wise saying. Now, this first-year alchemy class felt this power up and down, and completely fell into Mei Lansha's words, the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. For the first time, Mei Lansha's name left an indelible mark on their hearts, except for the double black lady who was the Rossia family. Maybe you haven't remembered the name of the person sitting next to you, maybe you don't remember the name of the teacher, but the name Melantha Josia is really in your heart.

And through the mouths of the classmates and the teacher above, Mei Lansha's new alchemy concept quickly spread throughout Lobut Academy, from the principal to the cleaning and cleaning, everyone knew that there was such a Miss Ruoxia who said such a thing.

In other words, we have become famous in this highest institution.
