Chapter 31: The Alchemist

In the history of the Sain League, there have been many medical masters, and the 16th deacon John Murphy. Keats is one of them. In one of his arias, he wrote: I can't see what kind of flowers and plants are at my feet, and what fragrant flowers hang on the branches; In the warm darkness, I could only guess what kind of fragrance should be bestowed on this peculiar tree of life in this season.

Hearing the words "alchemist", all the doctors were shocked, and they didn't know whether they were excited or scared, and they began to tremble incessantly.

The old doctor, the old man of Barbor, opened his mouth to reveal a few incomplete teeth, and asked with a crying voice, "This, this lord, are you really an alchemist?" ”

This time it was Dai Lan's turn to be confused, he didn't understand what an alchemist was at all, and he didn't know why the person in front of him would have such a big reaction when he heard this title.

He didn't answer, he didn't say anything, and his face was still cold and a little lazy.

In fact, he was waiting for Murray's explanation.

The current Murray is the roundworm in Dai Blue's head, no matter what he thinks, basically the old Scottish butler can guess eight. Nine is not far from ten.

Of course, this is his only job.

For the profession of alchemist, Murray is very familiar, and Professor Jin specially taught him the course "The Canon History of Ancient Medieval Magic". Among them, he was most impressed by the alchemist.

Because throughout the more than 2,000 years of magical history, there are only three alchemists who have been clearly recorded and confirmed!

Think about it, there are only three people in a profession from front to back......

In the history of science, we can easily name a long list: Galileo, Bruno (in this book, both positive and negative characters), Newton, Maxwell, Einstein......

In the history of art, we have: Li Bai, Du Fu, Leonardo da Vinci (a half-immortal-like figure, an important figure later in this book), Beethoven (for more information about his symphonies, see the fantasy masterpiece "Arcane Throne"), Van Gogh, Michael. Jackson......

More in Sports: Michael. Jordan, Kobe, Maradona, Michael. Schumacher, Michael. Phelps (Enough, Enough!) Damn, why are there so many called Michael. Well, if you have children, you know what to call them)......

Now, dear readers, you know what a great and difficult profession an alchemist is.

Alchemists are scarce because only those with a particularly high content of magical cells are qualified to study alchemy.

When refining medicine, the temperature and time of the fire must be accurately controlled. At the same time, it is necessary to adjust the ratio of pills in real time through different air pressure, humidity and other conditions. A gust of wind, a drop of dew, or a section of wood that has not been completely burned will affect the color of the final elixir.

Often, only people with more than 150 moles of magic cells have their nerves unusually sensitive. With such qualities, you can bring alchemy to the extreme.

They are able to perceive the ever-changing environment, and they can also track the heat of the medicinal herbs in the furnace through meditation, and then control the process of alchemy.

The medicine refined by a true alchemist can be said to be a life-saving elixir for resurrection.

Of course, there is a serious problem here. That is, people who are qualified to study alchemy will not study alchemy at all!

What a contradiction!

In fact, if you think about it, this question is easy to understand.

Every year, when the Wizard and Knight Academies are enrolled, there is a simple magic cell tester, which is not very accurate, but it can also roughly give a young man's mind the amount of magic cells.

Over time, according to statistical probability, a corresponding table was formed, which clearly indicated the magic cells needed by all levels of magicians, in other words, called talents.

Magician's Apprentice: 40 moles.

Apprentice Magician: 60 moles.

Elemental Mage: 80 moles.

Awakened Mage: 100 moles.

Ruling Magi: 120 moles.

Imperial Magior: 150 moles.

Holy Magi: 180 moles.

With 150 moles of magic cells, if cultivated properly, it is enough to become a judgment magician. If you're lucky, it's not impossible to reach the Imperial Magi.

You know, the Pope of Rome and the new Pope of England at this time were just imperial magicians!

Once you reach the level of a high-level magician, power, money, everything, you are the king wherever you go!

Practicing magic, even if you can't become the top two magicians, you still have a chance to be a referee magician. At worst, it's also an awakened magician.

According to the laws of the British Empire, an awakened magician must receive at least the equivalent of 500 gold louis per year, as well as the title of an earl!

And the alchemist requires more effort than magic cultivation, and it also needs more illusory luck.

If you succeed, you will be a miracle doctor who is admired by everyone, and a wealthy businessman who is rich in the world by buying medicine. If you fail, you will have nothing.

What's even worse is that because the alchemist has been studying alchemy for a long time, he is bound to have no time to delve into magic, so the three alchemists in history have only cultivated to the level of elemental magicians.

Later, they were all involved in the struggle of the state or the big family, and because they had no magic to protect themselves, they all died miserably.

With the lessons of the three people, it can be said that there are very few people who follow the path of alchemists.

However, the alchemist did provide a new way of thinking for a group of people.

Those magicians with magic cells in the 80-100 mole range are more than adequate than the top. Due to the limitations of their innate talents, they have no chance of cultivating to become high-level mages (emperors, divine mages). In order to make money, or for interest, a considerable number of them began to study alchemy and medicine after middle and old age.

These people are called trainee alchemists.

They are not sensitive enough to the perception of the elixir in the furnace and the changes in the environment. But they worked hard enough and were willing to spend a lot of money on experimentation.

For example, if you open 10 alchemy furnaces at the same time, and randomly mix various pills, as long as you refine them enough times, you can always come across some inferior and medium pills.

These elixirs are not elixirs that bring the dead back to life, but after taking them, they can raise magic cells several moles higher, or help to enhance the physical strength of knights, or can quickly heal sword wounds.

After refining, these pills quickly flowed to the trading bazaar, bringing a lot of profits to the trainee alchemist and the shopkeeper.

It is rumored that the most famous trainee alchemist in history is not Isaac. Newton is none other than that. Even because of some of his hemostatic pills, which played a role in turning the tide of the war in the war, the English royal family willingly rewarded him with a knighthood!

Compared with his achievements in mechanics and mathematics, Old Man Newton preferred a little bit of his experience in alchemy.

Murray, the old Scottish butler, gave a brief introduction to the situation of the alchemist he knew, and Dai Lan knew it in his heart.

"Dear Mr. Dai Lan, you are incredibly clever." Murray looked very excited, "Why didn't I expect that Tang Bohu gave you a Red Cultivation Elixir." ”

"Can you feel its ingredients?" Dai Lan asked in a low voice.

After a while, Murray said slowly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dai Lan, I can't quite detect what it is made of. Some trace elements have very low resonance intensities. However, most of its ingredients are Tianqi from your Huaxia country, plus some St. John's wort from the Nordic region. ”

"St. John's wort? Drugs that seem to stimulate dopamine secretion in the brain. Dai Lan remembers hearing a talk from his teacher in undergraduate biology.

"Mr. Dai Lan, it seems that this elixir will be very useful!" Murray reminded, "You can lie that you are an alchemist, and if the elixir is ineffective, they will definitely not dare to be unreasonable to you." ”

Dai Lan raised his head, raised his hands to hold the back of his head, gently scratched the roots of his hair, and said lazily to Count Jonad: "I'm not an alchemist at all, not even a trainee alchemist. ”
