Chapter 50: Alchemy

After walking out of the castle, Alan was still thinking about the previous experiment.

After the two maids were lying down on top of their heads, they suddenly had the ability to control coffee, or water, which made him feel incredible.

You know, if mages want to control water, they first have to rely on the water element to release water balls or similar spells, which are full of manipulation of magic and elemental prying, as well as spell gestures and the like, which are very cumbersome, and after the spell is completed, it is limited to a ball of water.

And what about the maids?

It doesn't require gestures or spells, and it doesn't seem to activate the power of the elements, but it does control the water source!

It doesn't take any external force, it's like instinct!

Thinking of this, Alan narrowed his eyes.

Instinct...

What is Naga's instinct?

He couldn't help but think of the knowledge in the book.

Naga is a marine creature, an adult Naga can control the sea, has six arms, and is agile with hands and feet...

"Could it be that the phantom Naga can give the target the instinct in life?"

After thinking about it, Alan denied this speculation again, if it was just to give it instinct, it would not be possible to look very familiar as soon as it started.

The maids just played more and more, from the original water balloon, to the water sword and water knife, and even the water mop and water broom can be condensed, and it doesn't look like a new hand at all.

"Did you inherit Naga's experience?"

Walking in the square in front of the castle, Alan felt that this guess was a bit reliable, which surprised him.

If that's the case, he can kill Naga on a large scale, and then condense that kind of phantom to give to his soldiers, so that he can create a group of "special function people" in a short period of time!

Thinking of this, he was slightly excited, but he immediately calmed down.

It was only a preliminary experiment, and the maids did not show any other abilities other than manipulating the water source, and it remains to be seen whether all of them have inherited Naga's experience.

"And that doesn't seem to be very powerful in manipulating the water source?"

Allen, who walked to the alchemy room, was still thinking about this question.

It's hard to say about power, because he didn't just experiment with the power of manipulating water sources.

Originally, I thought about studying it thoroughly, but unfortunately the maids were at a loss in the face of the sudden ability, and Alan didn't care about their feelings and kept pulling them to do experiments.

Besides, he wasn't very anxious to know the specifics, so Alan told them to go back and get used to it, and he came here after lunch.

Nodding and saying hello to the two soldiers guarding the door, Alan pushed open the door to the small courtyard of the alchemy house.

He's coming here to learn alchemy.

During the previous period, he was basically busy clearing out the pirate forces in the city, and he didn't care about anything else at all, but now that the cleanup was basically over, he remembered that he still had an alchemy consultant.

The alchemy room was still busy, and the apprentices were in and out of the room, not caring about Allen's arrival.

To Alan's relief, they no longer carried the fish-man corpses from the plaza as before, and instead had the porters move to the front yard of the alchemy house.

"Maybe it's because of the magic circle in the square?"

The magic circle that Raphael arranged in the square could have allowed the citizens to observe at will, and the cover of the alchemy house was not necessary at all.

Alan originally wanted to mention this, but before he could mention it, the people in the alchemy house had already taken the initiative to change the previous senseless act of secrecy.

"It seems that the environment can really change some of people's perceptions. ”

"Maybe I should make the bay a magical city, so that the mages will spread more and more here..."

With this thought in mind, Alan walked without stopping and came to the backyard of the alchemy house.

The backyard is also busy, with apprentices constantly making magical items.

Simon, as a full-fledged alchemist, walked among the apprentices, guiding them from time to time.

Mages are mostly sensitive to changes in the environment, so although Eren didn't make any noise when he arrived, Simon spotted him immediately, but he only nodded at him slightly, still instructing the apprentices.

It doesn't seem to take Alan very seriously, but Alan doesn't care about it either. The mages were not ordinary citizens, and they had little reverence for the nobility.

As far as Alan knows, the status between mages and mages depends on their respective abilities, as a nobleman, Alan is very noble in the world of ordinary people, but as a mage, he has just stepped into the apprenticeship stage, and he is still a rookie.

Coming to Simon's side, Alan silently observed Simon instructing the apprentices.

"The crystal nuclei of Warcraft are of different sizes, so the order must be accurate, otherwise it will be troublesome to make a mistake. ”

"Try to keep the organs intact when cutting, because the more complete the organs, the stronger the demonic beast breath it has, and the more effective it will be when integrated into the blank. ”

"According to the attributes of the items made, the types of Warcraft organs are also different, such as this condensation necklace, according to its characteristics of condensing the water element, we can choose the fish scales of the heart, flippers, and spine of the fish-man..."

"The carving of runes needs to be carried out in strict accordance with the steps, and the matching runes must be carved in each position, otherwise the items formed by the disorder will be very bad. ”

"Don't underestimate the transmission channels between the connecting runes, it's very important, you have to keep the lines coherent, otherwise it will affect the success of the activation. ”

"Pre-activation items are fragile, and the runes engraved on them will break slightly with the transmission channel, which you can't see, but it can make your magic items unable to activate successfully. ”

Intentionally or unintentionally, Simon's content has become more basic, and Allen, who is following behind him, has a feeling of being in the middle of a button.

He had also taken the time to read the alchemy books that Oliver had given him before, and although he could understand them, they were only the kind of people who seemed to understand them, and they were not as intuitive as they were now.

From the initial slaughtering step to the final activation, there are very few alchemy steps on the whole, but there are many doorways in it, and without the guidance of an alchemist, Alan estimates that he will not be able to refine the finished product at all.

Following their footsteps from beginning to end, Simon also explained a rough circle, and after talking about activation, Alan suddenly asked: "I can't see the runes in the activated necklace, what if I take it apart?"

"No, it won't. ”

Simon shook his head and said, "After the magic item is activated, it will transform into a whole under the effect of magic power, and even if you completely disassemble it, you will not be able to see the existence of the rune at all. ”

"Because, they're completely integrated into the magical objects themselves. ”

As he spoke, Simon picked up a necklace that had failed to be activated, smashed it with a small hammer on the tool table, and handed it to Alan.

Alan took it and carefully observed the chain body, from the outside, there was nothing to see on it except for some shallow traces, and from the broken fault, there was nothing in it except for the silver chain body, let alone runes, and even those light-colored silk threads on the exterior did not have the slightest trace.

Putting down the broken necklace in his hand, Alan exclaimed, "Alchemy is really a magical skill. ”

Simon smiled faintly and did not respond.

Alan turned his head to look at the place where the finished necklace was placed not far away, and raised his hand to pick up a necklace.

The necklace feels very cool to the touch, the weight is not very heavy, but it can't be called light, and it feels just right if it's not light or heavy.

Alan nodded in satisfaction.

"It's going to be very popular. ”

Turning around, Alan was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed that Simon looked at him with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

Alan was a little baffled.

"You just used a spell?"
