"Alchemy is the process of turning demonic beasts into magical items!"

In the underground laboratory of Oliver's Alchemy Hut, Oliver and Alan sat in the corner, watching the busy apprentices in the laboratory.

In the morning, the transaction intention was reached, and in the afternoon, Alan couldn't wait to come and learn alchemy. Although there has been a lot of speculation about the alchemy of one of the two major auxiliary means of this mage, Oliver's opening statement still left Alan a little confused.

"Turn Monsters into magical items?"

"Yes. Oliver nodded, then interrupted Allen's speech, waved his hand and said, "Boy, don't get to the bottom of it, I didn't plan to teach you the origin of alchemy and the 100,000 whys. ”

Alan: "...."

Oliver ignored Alan's darkened expression, he stretched out his fat and short right hand and pointed to a corner of the underground laboratory: "First of all, the first process of alchemy is to clean up!"

Alan looked up and saw that there were two apprentices crouching on the ground and fiddling with the bloody wolf carcass, skinning, cramping, bleeding, and digging crystal nuclei.

To their left, several cane-shaped branches were neatly trimmed.

"This is..."

"This is the first process. Oliver shook his beard and said, "I didn't expect that, did you? Before you can become an alchemy apprentice, you must first become a qualified butcher." ”

Alan asked curiously, "Why do you need the corpse of the wind wolf?" I remember that there is no such material on the drawings?"

Oliver replied dismissively, "What are you looking for me to do if you have everything on that drawing?" ”

"That..."

Oliver waved his hand, and then only to the second place: "There, it's the second process." ”

Looking along the finger, there was a huge alchemy stone platform, irregularly shaped, dark cyan, and covered with strange inscriptions.

Above the alchemy stone platform, countless hollows were placed various organ parts of the wind wolf, wolf eyes, wolf hearts, wolf tendons, and even wolf brains, and Alan also saw a small section of wolf whip from it, which made him feel very speechless.

He is now a little suspicious of the identity of Oliver Alchemist, these things, no matter how you look at them, have nothing to do with the legendary alchemy?

Although he was skeptical, it was only a little, and it was not very strange for Alan to feel that his imaginary impression did not match such a thing that he had never been exposed to, after all, he had not understood the real alchemy process.

He carefully examined the inscriptions and the position of the grooves on the stone platform, and found that the stone platform as a whole looked messy, but when he looked closely, it was strangely full of regularity.

In addition to the wolf's organs, there is also a staff of branches in the center that has been repaired into a simple shape, and some other materials that I don't know what they are.

There were also two apprentices around the stone platform, and after they had placed the various materials, they didn't know where to touch the switch, and a burst of fire suddenly appeared from the stone platform.

The flames were so intense that they lit up the dark underground laboratory as if it were the outside world, but it only lasted for a few seconds before it suddenly went out.

Then, Alan found that the full material on the alchemy stone platform had disappeared.

Only the prototype of the staff was still on the stone platform, and thanks to the extra-long vision, Alan could see that the original bare appearance of the staff had now appeared with many wonderful pale cyan lines.

"What happened?" He kept his eyes open, but the light of the fire obscured everything, and Alan didn't even understand why the materials had disappeared and why the lines had appeared on the rudimentary staff.

To Allen's surprise, Oliver sighed rarely: "Although I am called the master of alchemy, compared to Mr. Ivan, who invented this alchemy platform, I am simply a fledgling rookie, boy, fortunately, this second process is the most tedious part of the alchemy process, but with the assistance of this stone platform, it has become the simplest." ”

"You'll never go through that disgusting process of smelting the Monster Billet one by one with the organs of the Monster. ”

"The premise is that you have to spend two hundred gold coins, Alan, you kid are very lucky, I happen to have a spare alchemy platform, so I will sell it to you at the original price!"

"Of course, it's up to you, and I can teach you the old way if you don't need it, but I don't think you're short of money. ”

Mr. Dwarf babbled, and Allen's already shocked mood was immediately consumed. He didn't know where to answer right now.

Called the master alchemist?

Two hundred gold coins?Although he didn't know anything about the alchemy table, Alan was sure that the price of Oliver's "machine" would not exceed a hundred.

Also, what does it mean to be not a little bit of money? In a city where ten gold coins can buy a house, two hundred gold coins is a huge amount of money!

Glancing at Oliver, who was still selling the alchemy table, Alan was noncommittal, and looked at the third process without paying much attention to him.

Seeing this, Oliver smacked his lips with a little regret, followed Allen's gaze, and reluctantly explained to him.

"This process is the most important part of the alchemy process, and it is also the place where the main content recorded in your scroll is used, well, can you see it clearly? Do you want to observe it up close? Just don't disturb my dedicated and lovely apprentice. ”

"No, I don't. Alan shook his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the focused alchemy apprentice.

The place where the apprentice was located was the brightest place in the entire laboratory, and the two braziers around it emitted a bright glow on the central workbench.

The apprentice was sitting there, carving something into the staff with his tools.

It was a mysterious rune, and because it came from Allen's drawings, he was relatively familiar with it.

Allen's attention was not to the runes, but to the direction of the rune carving, or the nodes.

As the apprentice carved steadily and quickly, countless runes were carved around the staff's body, and Alan could clearly see that the carved place had not departed from the pale cyan pattern he had found before.

"Don't just look at his carvings, you should pay attention to the materials he uses to carve!" Oliver reminded him.

"Materials?"

Alan turned his eyes and found that the carving tools he had neglected before turned out to be different.

It was a tool like a pen, accompanied by the apprentice's carving, and the crystal "handwriting" was hidden deep in the inscription depression, and I really didn't find it if I didn't pay attention.

"No matter what kind of alchemy, crystal powder is an indispensable existence, and its magic channeling is very good. ”

Mr. Gnome's words made Alan thoughtful, but he didn't let himself go, but watched quietly.

The carving process was a long one, but there was a time when it would be finished, and the process was complete after the apprentice had carved out a line along the pale cyan lines that connected the countless inscriptions on the staff's body.

I saw that the apprentice was wearing gloves, carefully picked up the staff itself, and then walked to the place next to it where there were many demonic beast crystal nuclei, picked up the first crystal nucleus, and then installed it in the hollow specially made at the top of the staff.

Just like every wind wolf doesn't look big, most of the crystal nuclei of demonic beasts are of different shapes, but this staff may be based on the characteristics of the crystal nucleus, and the depression at the top is very compatible with the crystal nucleus.

And the depression Alan had observed before, and there were a lot of inscriptions carved inside, which seemed to be the top priority.

After inlaying the crystal nucleus, the apprentice took the staff and walked to the next position, which was the innermost part of the laboratory.

"The last step is activation, only the activated magic item is considered a success, otherwise it is just a failure. Originally, it was also very troublesome to activate, but after Master Ivan invented the alchemy table, he also made an activation table by the way, as long as the inactivated magic items were placed in the groove and a small amount of magic power was instilled into itself, the activation table could be automatically activated. ”

As Oliver said, the apprentice took the staff and placed it on top of a tool that resembled a lectern from his previous life, and then held the handles on either side to instill his own magic.

Then I saw countless cyan smoke-like "silk threads" appear on the podium, and under the entanglement of the silk threads, the staff actually floated in the air.

The apprentice's action of instilling magic was only a few seconds, but the thread lasted several times as long as he did.

Under the wonderful effect of these silk threads, Alan can clearly see that the dents and runes carved by the "pen" before are automatically "healing", and it will not take long for them to return to the smooth appearance before they were not carved.

It's just that unlike before, in the center of those light cyan lines, a silver thread faintly glows in the firelight.

After the whole body of the battle was healed, the cyan silk thread dissipated, and the staff fell on the activation table.

After that, the apprentice did not take it as carefully as he had just done, but picked it up more casually, as if the staff had lost its original preciousness.

Oliver motioned for the apprentice to take the staff, then handed it to Allen, "Look, this is the finished product. ”

Alan took the staff and looked at it carefully.

The staff was pitch black throughout, and there were countless mysteriously entangled cyan lines on its body, and in the center of these lines, there was a thin silver thread.

The nodes of the runes that had been carved before had now turned into tiny silver spots, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell that they were actually complex runes.

At the top of the body was the crystal nucleus, the dark cyan translucent crystal nucleus that now fit perfectly into the groove of the staff.

The weight of the staff is just right, and the whole staff looks smooth and calm in the hand. Eren tried to instill magic power, only to see a sudden glow from the place where the staff touched his hand, and then in the blink of an eye, the light spread to the crystal nucleus at the top of the staff.

For a moment, something seemed to have changed inside the crystal nucleus, but before Alan could sense it carefully, a wave of magic power rippled in the air around the crystal nucleus.

Then, a hazy cyan wind blade swooped out in the direction the staff was pointing!

"Whew!"

The walls of the laboratory were hung by the wind blade with a not-so-deep wound, and dust swept down.

It's a long time to say, but in fact, the whole process was completed in less than two seconds, and the magic power consumed was very rare, basically the same as Allen's zero-level trick!

But the power is much stronger than the trick.

Eren didn't know how much mana it needed for a true Wind Blade, but he was sure it would be a lot more than a staff needed!

"Not bad!"

Alan was amazed.

Oliver pretended to be angry: "I think we should talk about the compensation for the damage to the wall of the underground laboratory of Oliver's Alchemy Hut. ”

In response, Eren only glanced at him, and then looked at the alchemist apprentices again.

Although it is much different from the kind of alchemy he expected, the effect is basically the same, so Alan still did not give up the idea of learning it.

But as he watched, another thing came to his mind: "I don't know what it looks like to make potions, it shouldn't be so bloody, right?"

He plans to learn both of the mage's subclasses, so he'll definitely try to get into potions making in the future.
