CHAPTER XXV

"Excuse me, where can I find Mr. Antonio, the alchemist?" asked Feleg as he walked to the city gates to the soldiers defending the city.

The soldier looked at Feleg a few times and said politely: "Master Antonio's Magic Spring Club is located on Neptune Avenue, the symbol of the Magic Spring Club is three magic arrows, go forward along this road, the widest street is Neptune Avenue, and then turn left for five hundred meters to see it." ”

"Thank you very much. Feleg said politely.

"No, please pay the entrance fee of ten copper coins. The soldier said scrutinically.

As the soldier said, the Demon Spring Clubhouse is really easy to find, the four-story building, taller than all the buildings around, and the three intersecting arrows on it can be seen clearly from a distance of several hundred meters.

There was a lot of people in the Demon Spring Hall, and it took Feleg a lot of effort to squeeze up to the second floor, but he was blocked at the entrance of the third floor: "Sir, you are not a nobleman, so you can't go up to the third floor." A beautiful young lady stopped Feleg and said.

"Is the Magic Spring Hall owned by Mr. Antonio?" asked Feleg after a pause.

"Of course, it's something that everybody knows. The young lady's eyes were full of surprise, how could anyone ask such a question?

"Well, I'd like to see Mr. Antonio. "Feleg didn't expect that this alchemist actually had such a large guild hall, and it seemed that his status was very high, and he was much more powerful than himself, even the Grand Duke of Delan could not compare.

"Do you have an appointment?" Miss frowned, there are many people who want to see Master Antonio every year, but there has never been a commoner who asks to see the master, the young man in front of him is well-dressed, but he has no family signs, he should still be just a wealthy commoner.

"I guess there is, my name is Feleg Landis. ”

"Ah...... You're Mr. Feleg, I'm sorry, the master has talked about you, but you don't look like you. The young lady looked at Feleg again.

"I just changed my clothes. Feleg said with a wry smile, of course he not only changed his clothes, but also got a haircut and took a bath, and his whole person was much different from when he was in the Demon Forest.

In the living room on the fourth floor of the Demon Spring Clubhouse, Feleg met Master Antonio again, the master looked good, more luxurious than him in the Demon Forest, and on his clothes, Feleg saw the logo of the viscount and a very beautiful two-petal family sign.

Brewing a pot of top-quality incense tablets for Feleg himself, Antonio sat down on the magic wind chair and said: "Thank you again for saving your life, and welcome to Merrihai, let me entertain you these days." In the Magic Spring Hall, if you like something, just take it, or if you prefer armor or weapons, I have a lot of treasures in my private collection. ”。

"No, no, no...... I don't think I need any of that. Feleg said quickly, and at the same time attracted by the taste of the incense piece, he picked it up and took a sip gently, the mouth was full of aroma, if it wasn't for the fact that it was too hot, the tea in the cup might not be enough for him to drink in one gulp, Antonio obviously noticed such a detail, and smiled slightly.

"Maybe I can introduce you to some nobles, Feleg, which country are you?" asked Antonio, who knew only about Feleg by name and samurai.

"I'm from the Duchy of Teresa, but I don't have much interest in the nobility. "When he thinks of those nobles, Feleg has a headache, and he only lives in the capital of the Duchy of Deland for three days, just because he can't stand the harassment of those nobles.

"Oh?" Antonio was a little surprised, he didn't want to contact the nobles, and he didn't need magic items?This means power and money, and you don't need anything to do with me? The Duchy of Deresa is just a small principality, and Antonio knows this, the two countries are next to each other, and the last time I went to the Demon Forest, I passed through there.

"I want to know something about alchemy. Feleg stated his purpose.

"But...... You don't want to be my apprentice. Antonio asked, confused, knowing what the young man in front of him wanted.

"I'm sorry, but I really can't be your apprentice, my teacher won't allow it. "Feleg doesn't care about becoming an alchemist's apprentice, but Becca Sensei cares very much, and Feleg knows this very well.

"Your teacher, can you know who he is?" In Antonio's mind, Feleg's teacher should be a samurai, and there was no reason not to allow his students to have another alchemist as a teacher, let alone an alchemist like himself.

"My teacher is Becca Magician. Feleg said.

Antonio's hand shook, he stood up sharply, looked at Feleg with unbelievable eyes, and asked, "Your teacher is a magician......?"

"Yes, I'm also a magician, I just haven't been certified yet. I'm about to go to the Imperial Academy of Magic, where I can certify my mage rank and receive Imperial decorations, and I want to find my teacher, the Becca Magi, who has been separated in the Demon Forest. Feleg said he didn't think it was necessary to keep it secret.

"No way, this is absolutely impossible, your golden sword, and the armor you are wearing, how can you be a magician?, can you look at your sword?" Antonio exclaimed, and very impolitely snatched the broadsword beside Feleg.

Feleg smiled indifferently, a sword is just worth it? Now he already knew that the armor didn't seem to be very well made, but in a few more years, when his body grew taller, the armor would fit a lot better.

"There's only one layer on the surface, and you've plated it with gold?" Antonio immediately recognized the essence of the golden sword.

"Yes, the original metal is dark black, isn't it more beautiful to be plated with gold?" Feleg knew that his aesthetic vision was not good, and the alchemy master in front of him was a master of this way, which was why he came here.

"Can you tell me what metal the sword is made of?" asked Antonio with a focused expression.

"I don't know, it's from the Demon Forest, a very strange metal. Feleg was also in high spirits, and sought out Antonio to ask him for alchemical knowledge, including questions about metals.

"Oh, tell me what the properties of this metal are and how you found it. At the mention of alchemy and all kinds of rare materials, Antonio's eyes brightened.

"It's very strange, it's hard, it's strong, it's tough......" As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in, who's that?" Antonio said dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry Master, Marquis Fei Luoan asked to see. A girl's sweet voice came from outside the door.

"No, nobody. "Antonio was thinking about the metal properties that Feleg was talking about, and at this point he didn't want to see anyone who didn't like him.

"Master of Obedience. The girl outside the door was obviously used to such things, and without hesitation, she left immediately.

"Ignore them, and go on to say, hard, strong, tough, these are not surprising, are there any more interesting properties?" Antonio was not satisfied with the few characteristics that Feleg had just mentioned.

You know, for magicians, the vast majority of metals are enemies, and the magic conductivity of metal is so poor that it can almost be said that there is none, so magicians generally do not use metalwork, and magic wands are also wooden. Except for extremely rare metals such as Adamantite Gold and Silver, mages do not use metals.

Adamantite and Silver, on the other hand, were not only inexpensive and extremely valuable, but because they were so soft that powerful warriors could even change their shape with their hands, it was impossible for them to be used to make weapons and armor. In addition, there are some metals with good magic conductivity, but they are not suitable for making broadswords, what is it?

As a magician, he is very concerned about the conduction of magic, even if he does not understand these principles, he will instinctively reject metal products, he clearly remembers that the broadsword and armor were made by the young man in front of him, and he is a magician......

"And after it's damaged, after a certain amount of time, it can be restored on its own. Feleg continued.

"Memory metal?" Antonio jumped up from the magical wind chair, broadsword in both hands, and his brow furrowed, as if there was some mystery that could not be solved.

"Are you saying that this metal is called memory metal?" Feleg was very happy, at least he knew the name of this metal, and he was the right person to come here.

"That's right, according to what you said, it's memory metal, but it's almost impossible to find such a large piece of memory metal ore, and ......"

"What else?" asked Feleg quickly, his interest in the metal was high.

"Memory metal is exactly what you say, but in addition to its preciousness, it has a nickname called precious waste. Antonio put down his broadsword and said that he didn't have to test it himself.

"Precious waste, why is it called that?" Feleg didn't think the metal was useless at all, but very useful.

"There are two reasons, one is that this metal ore is very difficult to find, and even if it is found, it is all small pieces of ore, and the content in it is low, and it is almost impossible to refine much, not to mention that refining this metal requires a lot of magic power, except for magicians, even alchemists like me, it is impossible to refine them. Antonio said.

"Oh. Feleg replied, he didn't think it was that difficult it was to refine memory metal, because he was a magician and had enough magic power to do it.

"The second reason is more important, memory metal can only be shaped at the same time as it is refined, and after it is shaped, no matter how you change it, it will slowly change back to its original shape, which is the biggest problem. Antonio said.

Feleg nodded, he had already experienced this firsthand, memory metal was indeed a very difficult thing to handle. At the same time, he was a little disappointed, he came here to find Antonio, originally hoping to solve the problem, and it seemed that it could not be solved.
