Dudian looked at the bottles and jars of powder on the table next to her, which were labeled, but there were no words on the labels, but all kinds of strange symbols, some of them were the sun, some of them overlapped with the pentagram, some of them were hooks, and so on.

"What is this?"

The nightingale saw a jar he was pointing to, and said strangely, "Don't you recognize this symbol?" ”

Du Dian thought about his words for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Haven't you memorized the basic alchemy symbols?" Nightingale was surprised.

It was the first time for Du Dian to hear the words "alchemy symbol", and he was slightly stunned, but fortunately there was a mask to cover it, so that the other party did not notice the expression, and he secretly said in his heart: "Alchemy symbol? The role of symbols is usually to mark something...... Could it be that this is something like a mathematical notation? ”

There is no record of this in Rosyard's alchemy notes, Du Dian guessed that most of them were too rudimentary, so there was no meaning in recording, and immediately said: "Yes, I haven't memorized it yet, my things have been lost to my teacher, my teacher is dead, and things have also been seized by the damned Bright Holy See, do you have a complete collection of alchemy symbols here, can I borrow it?" ”

Nightingale looked at him suspiciously, but after hearing Dudian call the "Holy See of Light" "damned", he dispelled his doubts and casually pointed to a shelf next to him, where there was a thick book with a black cover, "There, take it and see it yourself, but remember not to break it, I'll just have this one." ”

Du Dian nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Picking up this book of alchemy symbols, Du Dian was about to open it to take a look, only to hear the nightingale say: "You go to other places to see, such as the small warehouse, I want to do an experiment." ”

Dudian came to her senses and went to the small warehouse she was referring to, which was a little cluttered, with tools for cleaning the alchemy room and some broken filters.

Du Dian didn't care, he sat casually and flipped through the "Encyclopedia of Alchemy Symbols".

Seeing a dazzling array of alchemy symbols on display, with text explanations underneath the symbols, Dudian soon saw the sun symbol he had seen earlier, which represented gold among alchemists!

"No wonder there's golden powder in the bottle, and it's very small." Dudian muttered and continued to flip through.

Time passes imperceptibly.

Dudian was completely immersed in it, reciting the symbols with his heart. Through the explanation at the beginning, Du Dian learned that this alchemy symbol originated from the astrological symbols of the soothsayers, and with the decline of the soothsayers, the astrological symbols were gradually evolved into alchemy symbols by the rising alchemists, forming an independent alchemy symbol system of its own.

After the alchemist completes the experiment, the content recorded is usually a large pile of alchemy symbols piled together, and if you are not an alchemist, you can't understand it at all, so memorizing this book of alchemy symbols is one of the basic requirements for becoming an alchemist apprentice!

When Dudian was a third of the way down, he heard a nightingale's voice outside the warehouse door: "Is the hound here, it's not early, it's getting dark, we're going to go home, do you want to stay here all night?" ”

Du Dian was stunned, he didn't expect time to pass so quickly, he immediately closed the book, opened the door, and saw the nightingale and the poisonous snake standing at the door, so he said, "I'm going back too, let's go together." ”

"That's fine." The nightingale nodded.

The viper glanced at the book in Du Dian's hand and said with a smile: "When the nightingale told me, I didn't believe it, I didn't expect you to really not memorize this, tsk, you are simply an apprentice among apprentices, well, you should be called an apprentice, haha......"

Du Dian heard his joke, smiled slightly, and said, "I have a poor memory, and I memorize slowly." ”

"I think you're lazy." The poisonous snake said with deep sympathy: "At the beginning, I had a headache and died of a headache when I carried this, and I tried all kinds of excuses to escape, and in the end it was my teacher who personally forced me, so I memorized it, but it was a nightingale, with a smart mind, I heard that it only took about a week to memorize this, so that I could be embarrassed by the human favor that I had been carrying for half a year!" ”

The nightingale smiled and said, "How can you say such an exaggeration, I can't memorize it for a week, and it took half a month to memorize it thoroughly." ”

"That's pretty good, too." The viper said sadly.

Dudian put the book back in its place and said, "Will you come back tomorrow?" ”

"Of course." Vipers don't want to be authentic.

Nightingale shook her head and said, "I see the situation, if there is something, I won't come, and if there is nothing to do, I will come." ”

Du Dian nodded and said, "I'll come over tomorrow too." ”

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go back." The nightingale looked at Dudian and the viper, and said, "Which of you goes first?" ”

"I'll go first." The viper was not polite, waved his hand to Dudian, came to the corridor outside the secret wall, and climbed out.

"We'll go out in a few minutes." Nightingale said.

Dudian nodded, knowing that she was worried that going out too much at one time would attract attention, and if she left one after another, it would give everyone time to tidy up their masks.

After a while, Dudian was the second to leave, he crawled into the alley, and saw that no one was paying attention to the street at the entrance of the alley, so he put away his mask, but he still wore a mask on his face, covering most of his face, wearing a mask on the street is not unusual, and most of them will be considered by others as having a disease, and no one wants to get too close.

Du Dian was just about to go home along the shortcut road, when he suddenly smelled a familiar smell, he couldn't help but be stunned, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and walked towards the street on the other side, bowing his head all the way.

Not long after Du Dian left, a little boy appeared at the entrance of the alley, looking at the direction of Du Dian with a frown, and muttered to himself a little angrily: "I am still wearing a mask, I am so careful!" As he spoke, he took a deep look in that direction, turned and left in the other direction.

Soon after he left, at the corner of the street, Du Dian appeared sideways, looking at the back, frowning slightly, but he didn't expect that after the poisonous snake came out in advance, he didn't leave, but hid next to him, wanting to peek at his true face, I don't know if he was too cautious, still doubting his identity, or ill intentions, ulterior motives.

"It seems that it cannot be taken lightly in the future." Du Dian said secretly, and at the same time firmly remembered the other party's face, which was a fatal handle of the other party in his own hands!

Du Dian turned his head to look at the alley, it was estimated that the nightingale was about to come out at this moment, he thought about it, and gave up the opportunity to peek at her real face, after all, she didn't do this to herself, people don't offend me, I don't offend people.

Turning to leave, Du Dian went around a few streets, made sure that there was no familiar smell around, came to the corner of a street, took advantage of the lack of people, quickly took off the black robe on his body and rolled it up, and then quickly left here and made a detour home.
