Because of the origin of alchemy, it is said that some people want to make bronze into gold, and some say that it is because some people want to refine the elixir that can make people immortal.

In the long-term development process, alchemy did not achieve the purpose of calling bronze refining gold, nor did it achieve the purpose of refining the elixir of life, but combined with spells, it developed the ability to refine magical items, which is now alchemy in the general sense of society.

According to the definition of alchemy in the Father's Religion, this is a technique that mainly uses a variety of technical means such as boiling, burning, forging, and carving to process and combine related materials, and finally refine them into alchemical products with specific functions.

And when it comes to alchemical products, one thing has to be mentioned, and that is the inscription.

Inscriptions are ancient sayings arranged into certain rules, which have magical effects, and many magical items will be added to the alchemy products by alchemists. For example, the same alchemy sword only has a cold effect without an inscription, but if you add the corresponding inscription, it will have a special effect in addition to the cold effect of the main body, such as launching an ice tornado!

This is the power of the inscription, it can be said that every alchemist is a master of the ancient language, and the characteristic of "master of the ancient language" overlaps with the characteristics of the mage group, so this is why most alchemists are mages.

Alchemy can be subdivided into two links: technical processing and adding inscriptions, and what Norman is doing now is the technical processing link in alchemy.

Norman's alchemy can also be divided into two parts, one part was learned by him through the transactions of the Skull and Bones Society when he was in Nicaro, although the alchemy knowledge he exchanged at the beginning was relatively messy, but after being sorted out by the Templar Order, it still became a system, which formed the foundation of Norman's alchemy.

The other part is alchemy.

Before coming to Jebel Danner, Abel had already taught all the techniques of alchemy, and Norman's own comprehension and the feedback from the Knights Templar were considered to have thoroughly understood this technique.

To put it simply, this is an alchemy technique that uses magic power to perform targeted magic vibrations on objects and transform the internal structure of objects according to a special method, so that magic can flow in the objects.

Norman now used traditional alchemy techniques to process the material routinely, while using magic to process it internally—by holding a short black rod and stirring the white bed in the crucible.

This short black stick is not a simple stick, but a key prop in alchemy, and its name is ordinary, it is called a magic wand.

The magic wand that Norman is holding now in his hand was given to him by Abel.

The wand itself does not have any effect, the only special thing is its construction - it is a short wand that has been refined by alchemy, and can itself contain the flow of magic in it, which is equivalent to an extension of the body.

Alchemy requires the use of magic to magically oscillate objects and change the structure of objects, but for objects in the boiling water of this cauldron, you can't grab them with your hands, right?

Norman seemed to be stirring constantly, but in fact, he just made the wand fit the white bed rock, and through the magic wand output magic oscillations, he cast magic alchemy on the white bed.

But Delvik didn't know all this, he just saw Norman doing alchemy like all alchemists, without the slightest abnormality, which made him secretly a little surprised after watching it for a while, and he didn't know when the other party was ready to use his unique alchemy methods. But he couldn't rush it, so he could only wait patiently.

While Delvik was waiting, Norman had already completed the steps of alchemy on the white bed.

The magic oscillation had been completed, the inner structure of the white bed had changed, and he could clearly feel through his magic wand that his magic power could travel through this white bed.

The processing steps of traditional alchemy were almost complete, so Norman picked up a stone the size of a sky blue thumb and threw it in, took a strangely shaped extra-long pen shaft in his right hand, poked it into the crucible, and pressed it against the white bed, his hand trembled as if he had Parkinson's, and the trembling amplitude was very small.

He is adding the inscription, the sky blue stone can let his inscription penetrate into the body of the white layer rock during the action, this extra-long pen is the alchemy pen of the alchemists, in order to adapt to this kind of pen, he has also practiced it, as for the inscription he is joining now, it was given to him by the Knights Templar, it is a set of inscriptions created by the Knights Templar for the effect of the magic pool, and now it is the part of the positive magic that is added.

The powerful spiritual power created by the "Heart Sutra of the Sea" and the live broadcast room enabled Norman's attention to concentrate and concentrate on the work of engraving the inscriptions, and the strong body self-control created by the "Heart Sutra of the Funeral Sun" made his body perfectly match what he thought in his mind without deviation.

"Whew!"

When all was done, Norman carefully fished out the white bed rock with a tool similar to pliers, dried it on a special plate beside him, and let out a sigh of relief.

At the request of the Knights Templar, this first part was completed.

Then, without resting, Norman immediately plunged into alchemy work again, and began to refine the next part.

The benefits of the Heart Sutra are once again reflected here.

In such a state of high concentration and mental tension, the spirit is easily exhausted, but Norman can divide the mental power into many parts, and when this part of the mental power is exhausted, he immediately replaces it with another part of the mental power, and this part of the mental power goes to sleep.

In this way, Norman has always maintained an excellent working state with a high degree of mental concentration, not to mention Abel, who was his assistant, and even Delvik, who was attentive and watching next to him, was already a little tired, he was still in good spirits, which made Delvik look stunned, and secretly surprised how deep this guy's mental power was, and the intense work that had been engrossed for so long was not a little tired.

Until the alchemy work was completely completed and the magic pool device was refined, Norman still looked in good spirits.

He looked at the table in front of him with great energy, where the eyes of all three were focused.

I saw a long piece of metal like paper on the plate on the table, and two sticks of indiscernible material were connected to the two ends.

This was the magic pool device he had refined at the request of the Knights Templar.

"What is this?"

Delvik looked at the magic pool device and couldn't help asking, looking at the thing and at Norman's face, with some curiosity, some annoyance, some unwillingness in the depths of his eyes.

He stared intently for a long time just now, his eyes didn't dare to blink a few more times, and his eyes were very dry, but he still couldn't see the slightest clue from the secret skills of the Richardson family: Norman was a traditional alchemy routine from beginning to end, and he couldn't see anything unusual at all, and as for Abel, he couldn't see that he was famous, and he didn't do anything else from beginning to end except handing over materials.

Delvik wanted Norman to refine it again, but he couldn't say it, so he could only focus on the thing he had refined.

Seriously, though, Delvik was a little curious about this thing.

He'd seen countless magical items in his life, but he hadn't seen anything like it, and he couldn't even guess what it did just by looking at it.

Not only was Delvik curious, but Abel was also curious about what it was, but Norman didn't intend to tell them the truth.

"This is an alchemy idea of mine,"

Norman said half-truthfully, "As you all know, it is every alchemist's dream to be able to invent a completely new alchemical product, and I think so too. I wanted to craft a magical armor with strong protective powers, and it needed to be different from those other armor armor like other clothes, so I thought about it for a long time and made a plan, and now it's time to verify the results. ”

The most brilliant lie is to insert a lie into the midst of many truths, which Lancelot taught Norman.

As he spoke, Norman couldn't wait to press his hand up, pressing it on the mana pool device and inputting mana.

After inputting a burst of mana, Norman immediately cut off the output of mana, and felt the details of his mana pool device change.

According to common sense, the magic power will directly collapse on ordinary objects and cannot be entered, even if the object has been transformed by magic alchemy, and the magic power can flow in it, but the final result is also collapse. This is like a bow and arrow that leaves the string, once it leaves the bowstring, it may fly straight, or it may make a parabolic motion, but it is impossible to turn back.

But this magic pool device under Norman's hand is different, and Norman can clearly feel that the magic power he input did not collapse after entering it, but flowed back and forth!

Norman's eyes flashed with joy, but immediately darkened again, and he frowned.

Yes, the mana in the pool didn't collapse immediately, but as it flowed back and forth, it was decaying rapidly at a speed that he could clearly perceive.

It didn't collapse immediately, but it did.

After a few breaths, there was not a single bit of this magic left, and it completely collapsed.

"Failed?"

Delvik asked when he saw Norman's expression, with a hint of joy in his tone.

If Norman had failed, he would have done it again, and he would have been able to watch it again.

He was inexperienced before, but after his first spectator experience this time, he could see some clues, right? Of course, the premise is that Norman wants to refine it again.

Norman didn't respond to Delvik immediately, but increased the output of mana and tried again, only to find that the more mana he had, the faster it collapsed, and all the mana was still scattered in the same amount of time as before.

"Hmm. ”

Norman could only nod and replied to Delvik, "Failed." ”

Delvik hurriedly comforted: "This is normal, those classic alchemy schemes that have been perfected for generations have a great chance of failure, let alone the alchemy scheme that you have researched yourself? Such an alchemy scheme that has not been tested at all, the first experiment does not produce an explosion and obvious failure is already the greatest success! Don't be discouraged, there are still many materials, let's do it again." Or maybe you can talk to me, I think I have a lot of experience in crafting and alchemy, and maybe I can help you point out some shortcomings......"

Norman didn't come back immediately, but his eyelids were matched, and he looked very tired, and the scene came instantly.

"You're right, but I'd like to be alone for a quiet moment. ”

Delvik nodded understandingly, "Okay." ”

Then Norman left alone, and took the magic pool device he had just refined, and went out of the laboratory alone, went to his room, and then closed the door with his backhand, and after casting a noise barrier very carefully, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: " The experiment failed, although the mana pool device has the effect of storing mana, but the effect is not long-lasting, the mana will collapse quickly, and the time of mana collapse is not positively correlated with the total amount of mana, the more mana, the faster the mana will dissipate, for the time being, it seems that the mana dissipation time is fixed......"

Norman reported the details of the mana pool to the Templars, not missing any detail, so that the Templars could find out what might have caused the defeat.

After hearing Norman's report, Lancelot said to him after a while: "The specific situation has been known, so let's make the following changes: First, make subtle changes to the materials in the basic alchemy stage......"

The Templars' response was faster than Norman had imagined: after such an accident, he thought that it would take at least half a day for the Templars to come up with a solution, after all, it had taken the Templars a long time to make this magic pool plan in the first place.

But he immediately figured it out again.

With the strict urine nature of the Knights Templar, they will definitely not only consider the success situation, they should have already considered all kinds of different failure situations, and even made various contingency plans for these situations, so they can immediately come up with a mature set of response plans.

Norman carefully wrote down the response plan given by Lancelot, and then immediately ran to the laboratory, and the energetic appearance made the two guys who were about to leave stunned for a while.

I was tired when I left just now, but now I'm full of energy again?

Norman didn't talk nonsense to them, "Let's start again!"

Anyway, these materials were provided to him by Delvik for free, and such a good opportunity should not be used in vain, and he will regret missing it.

Before Delvik repents, hurry up and experiment a few more times, and strive to make a magic pool in these two days!

So in the days that followed, Norman experimented day and night, and the magic pool did one set after another.

The effort paid off, and with the Templars' continuous improvement based on the results of their experiments, Norman got closer and closer to the finished product, and finally, on the third day, the Magic Pool 1.0 was finally released.
