Chapter 58 Actual Combat Operations
"Big brother, you need to speed up, you see how far the materials have piled up!"
In the backyard of the alchemy house not far from Pochi Castle, the apprentices were busy in front of the alchemy equipment, and Qi Hill, who was in charge of selecting and neatly placing the fish-man organs, screamed in boredom, causing Man Hill, who was inscribed with runes, to frown.
"I'm fast enough, you can try it if you have the ability!"
The taciturn Manhill who can be provoked retorts like this, which shows how annoying his broken brother was before.
However, the person concerned did not have this consciousness, and he was still chattering.
"I'm thinking, isn't Mentor Simon not allowed, you see, my material table can't hold so many necklace blanks, I think with the current state of storage, I can go back to sleep, and if you come back, you still can't finish it...."
Chihir said to himself, but he didn't know how hateful the words in his mouth were, and Beth, who was also in charge of inscripting the runes, glared at him angrily: "Qi, you are so annoying. ”
Although she is not a beauty, Beth is the only female among the apprentices, so her words are a bit lethal to Chihil, and he opened his mouth, feeling a little depressed.
"Truth is always annoying, Beth I think you have to look beyond the surface to see the essence, I actually mean to inspire you..."
"Hell the truth. ”
Beth pouted: "Urging us to hurry up, why don't you say let Alan slow down?"
"This..."
Glancing at the slaughterhouse not far away, Qihil said dryly: "People are our gold masters, and they always have to be polite, and it's better to do it quickly than slowly, isn't it?" ”
At the end, he uttered another "provocative" remark, which caused the two rune carvers to glare at him.
But after looking at the slaughterhouse in the distance, they had to admit that it was better to do it faster than to be slower...
Looking at Allen's squatting posture wielding a butcher's knife, Beth temporarily put down her work and sighed, "His knife skills are really amazing. ”
Manhill glanced in the direction of Allen, where a new fish-man was lifted, only to see that his hand was up and down, and the head of the fish-man was simply cut off, and then a few more knives went down, and the hard skull of the fish-man was directly split in half.
After taking out a tiny irregular crystal nucleus, the fish-man's head was pulled aside, and the mer-man's adobe was disemboweled.
Disemboweling, decomposing, and cleaning the internal organs, the whole process is swift and decisive, as if you don't look at it, and in a few minutes, a fish-man decomposes a standard melter material.
Although he had seen it countless times, but at this time, Manhill still felt quite shocked, he had never seen such a rapid slaughter technique when he was on the island, and the apprentices looked slow, even the official alchemists, and even the alchemists, had never seen such a speed.
Of course, at the level of an alchemy master, it is impossible to slaughter it with his own hands, and he will only hand it over to his apprentices.
Despite knowing this truth, Manhill still felt that even if those alchemy masters took action in person, it was estimated that they would not be as fast as Alan now.
This can no longer be considered a simple slaughter, it should be called a knife technique...
Manhill sighed inwardly, retracted his gaze, and said as if chatting with his companion while carrying out the task in hand: "It is said that he was born in a knight family, and he has been practicing for a long time, so he is naturally much stronger than us for this weapon. ”
"Maybe. ”
Beth nodded absentmindedly, thinking of a trainee knight on the island who had been accepted as an apprentice.
It is said that he was also trained as a real knight since he was a child, but although his slaughter is fast, it is not so exaggerated...
At this time, Alan was concentrating on decomposing the corpse of the fishman, naturally he would not know how his current performance made the alchemy apprentices dumbfounded, and the narrow butcher knife in his hand continued to swing, and the fishman was decomposed into alchemy materials one by one.
Slaughtering and decomposition is the first step of alchemy, and Alan is already basically familiar with this step, during this time, he will take time out every day to actually operate the alchemy house, and the progress is still relatively large.
Slaughtering, selecting suitable materials, fuse, carving runes, and activating items, except for the carving of runes and the adaptability of materials, these steps are basically no problem.
In fact, those were all very simple, except for the skills required to instill magic in the alchemy equipment, everything else was just a script.
Oliver the dwarf is right, with the existence of these alchemy equipment, the once cumbersome alchemy has been simplified a lot.
Compared with other steps, it takes a long time to select the matching of the parts of the monster according to the alchemy materials, which cannot be quickly mastered, and can only be slowly understood with continuous alchemy.
Engraving runes, on the other hand, requires delicate hand manipulation and sufficient knowledge of runes, as well as a constant and constant mana output.
It's okay for Alan to know enough about runes, because he found that the mysterious effects of reading magic can also work on runes, and he can quickly grasp the overall structure and subtle characteristics of runes as long as he casts this spell on the runes again and again, and all he needs to do is actually do it, draw it out of his mind.
This brings us to the problem of hand manipulation.
This is a delicate job, and the portrayal requires the hands to be stable for a long time, and the strength must be deep and shallow, so Alan is not a hand cripple, plus with the existence of Simon, an experienced alchemist, I believe that the time he has mastered will not be too far.
After practicing the slaughter technique for a while to warm up, Alan began to operate the other steps one after another.
Melting, inscription, activation, except for Simon personally coming to teach when inscribed runes, there is no need for anyone to guide anything, and making a magic item for a long time, the knowledge and skills that should be mastered are basically mastered, except for the most important rune carving.
Rune carving is actually barely able to carve a complete rune link, but whether it can be activated is still uncertain, and you need to continue to practice.
When Alan carved the runes, Simon had been observing behind him, he was still very satisfied with the learning speed of the young nobleman in front of him, and when Alan had almost practiced and was about to leave, he rarely showed a smile and patted Allen's shoulder.
"If you have time, you can also practice in the castle, your mastery of runes is very comprehensive, the only difference is hand operation, which does not need to be trained with actual processes. ”
"Yes, Mr. Simon. ”
Because it is an employment relationship, Alan does not need to be called Simon Mentor, but the necessary etiquette is still indispensable.
After a while, there was a small talk, and finally Alan looked up at the already dark sky, and said goodbye to Simon and the apprentices who were looking at him unhurriedly, and then couldn't wait to leave here.
The cultivation time for the Fang of the Stars is almost up.
