Chapter 135: The Secret Art of Alchemy
"So, those legendary weapons, and even secret treasures, are not necessarily props made up by bards to praise heroic deeds, they do exist, but they are extremely difficult to find, so they have become legends from generation to generation?"
"The reason why legends exist, there are definitely things associated with it, just like trees don't die and fall for no reason, and fresh meat doesn't rot and grow maggots for no reason, but humans haven't experienced this process, so they feel incredible. As for those legendary treasures, they are even more mysterious, but I believe that as long as they are sung, there is proof of their existence!"
Vlad III said, turning his head to look at Jill: "In addition to the great secret treasures that exist in physical form as I just mentioned, there are also many secret methods hidden in the Dark Bible, which were considered black magic in the Middle Ages, and even the alchemy that is now familiar was recognized as a kind of evil magic in that era. ”
"What do you think is the most precious thing in alchemy, Jill?" said Vlad III, pausing abruptly and throwing the question.
"It should ...... It's the material, just like the blacksmith who strikes iron, if you come across the best iron ore, the chances of crafting something heirloom will increase a lot. Jill scratched her hair and said with some uncertainty.
Before the first embrace, his knowledge of alchemy was limited to rumors.
Legend has it that alchemy is the whimsical alchemists who want to use their own potions to turn stones into gold, which is where the name alchemy comes from, but the alchemy weapons around them prove that this view is nothing more than human wishful thinking, or a one-sided understanding of most people.
If I had to say it, alchemy should be "the forbidden art of refining and developing metals beyond the law", but no matter what, if you want to complete alchemy, you must have the blessings of the four major elements and spiritual elements.
Vlad III nodded, then shook his head again: "Alchemy does have high requirements for materials, but the most precious thing is not the materials, but all kinds of magical formulas. Whether it is the four elements or the fifth element, they all exist in nature, but they cannot be simply used by humans. The recipe for alchemy is to obtain elements from nature in a predatory way, and then enchant them on real objects to achieve the purpose of alchemy. ”
"Alchemists may only be given a handful of alchemical recipes in their lifetime, and given the bare nature of their lives, it is only possible for a work that has been honed over decades to survive...... The transmission of the work is still so difficult, let alone a mature formula, which is why this secret technique is gradually lost. ”
Vlad III said, sighing faintly. He also has his own ambitions for this technology, and if he gets the manufacturing method of alchemy weapons and then arms such an army, then he can have the confidence to collide head-on with the Dragon Clan.
After all, alchemy weapons are something that can bridge the bloodline gap!
He had dismantled the Kiss of the Goddess of Victory and the Kiss of the Goddess of Radiance, seeking information about the makers of the two weapons, but the two swords had no inscriptions or anything like that, except for their unique crafting methods and patterns...... Aside from knowing that these two swords are the work of Eastern alchemists, the rest is a mystery to Vlad III.
"My lord, you said that there are countless secret methods hidden in the Dark Bible, could it be that the recipe for alchemy is also recorded in it?" Gil asked, looking up at Vlad III's words.
"That's right, although it's just a rumor, there is a saying that the Dark Bible contains all the alchemy recipes that have ever appeared in this world, and Joan of Arc's living alchemy is definitely one of the hidden recipes!" Vlad III's body leaned forward slightly, and then looked directly into Jill's eyes, his eyes glittering with blood, revealing unquestionable firmness," One of the important reasons why alchemy is a forbidden art is that the changes it brings are irreversible, and I know you don't want to accept it, but from the time Joan of Arc became Delacuri's target, she has been on the opposite side of you......"
"This kind of thing...... How could such a thing be possible!" Jill suddenly stood up from the couch and yelled angrily.
His emotions were on the verge of collapse, the bloodline of the wolf clan was unconsciously stimulated by him, the muscles and bones of his whole body were twisting and bulging, and just when black hair was about to grow on the surface of his body, the process of wolf transformation suddenly stagnated, and then the whole person fell softly.
Behind Jill, Thorville caught his body steadily, then laid him flat on the couch.
"I almost forgot that the Bloods can't numb themselves with alcohol, but at least they can temporarily escape reality in their sleep. Watching Jill gradually return to his original body, Vlad III leaned back on the sofa and said slowly.
"It's a little bit better for him to lose consciousness. "I can feel his pain, as if all his efforts were in vain, and I felt it when I was surrounded by Edward the Black Prince. ”
"Thanks to Livienne that time, if she hadn't contacted Rongaite privately to help us before, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to talk to you here. With that, Tovir filled another cup with blood and respectfully placed it in front of Vlad III, "Although that guy has done a lot of rude things to you, please believe that he is just confusing his hatred for the Dragon Clan, and I hope you can forgive him for his faux pass if you can......"
Although Towell did not finish the rest of the sentence, everyone could hear what he meant, and he took his cup and looked at Vlad III, his lake-blue eyes showing sincerity.
Vlad III looked at Towell, then reached out and slowly picked up the cup in front of him: "Towell, I believe you can see clearly what I have done, as long as I am willing, no one in this manor can live." I will appear in France for a purpose, which is why I am here as your ally. ”
"I have never been a patient person, nor am I a generous person, but in the face of my allies, I am willing to show some sincerity. As he spoke, he picked up his cup and gestured to Towell, "I hope your friend will live up to your kindness." ”
After speaking, Vlad III drank all the blood in the cup, and then put the cup back on the table: "This guy will be handed over to you to take care of, I have to go back to the room to prepare, put the clothes at the door of the room before the action tomorrow, I will leave on time." ”
"Thank you for your generosity, and please rest assured that absolutely no one will bother you during this time. Thornville said, bowing respectfully.
Vlad III nodded, then walked towards his room. The things he had to prepare were simple, the silverware he had hidden in his room.
When Gil went to the maid's aunt to inquire about the news, Vlad III also took the opportunity to get some possible things in the city, including several silver items. It was found in the uninhabited house of Versailles, and although many people in Versailles had fled outside the city these days, most of them would take the precious metal with them.
Empty houses like this, with silverware, are probably left behind by the dead in the square, their doors are left open, and even then no one comes in and takes away what is not theirs, and in this time of confusion, no one cares about money anymore, and everyone has only one purpose, which is to live as best they can......
And this made it easier for Vlad III.
He closed the door of his room, and turned the silverware out from under the cabinet: two silver candlesticks, a pack of silver coins, and several silver knives of different shapes, and under the cabinet was a dark file, which he had taken from the smithy.
"It's a delicate little thing, and if your master sees me doing this, it will be distressing. Vlad III said as he picked up a silver candlestick and played with it.
The candlesticks were beautifully made, and were placed on either side of the image of Jehovah before they were taken away, with unlit candles on them, and the owner of the house was probably a devout Catholic, but unfortunately the God he believed in did not bring him the protection he wanted.
A layer of flannel cloth was spread on the table, Vlad III picked up a file and filed it violently against the candlestick, and the silver-white powder fell on the flannel with the movement of the file, and the candlestick gradually lost its original shape.
In addition to the knives, the candlesticks and silver coins were to be filed into powder.
