Chapter 8: Glasses

Lenses can't just hang in front of a person's eye, so Levi needed to make a carrier that could hold the lenses. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The item that carries the lens is finally to be hung on Ronnie's face, which is not heavy, durable, easy to take off and foldable, and the three main points of this item are designed.

Fortunately, Levi made all the lenses for research, otherwise one night may not be enough for Levi.

"Let's get started, then!"

Levi placed the lenses on his dedicated workbench and walked into the corner on the right hand side of the workshop where he used to stack his resources.

"It's too heavy to use iron or steel" Levi pinched his chin and glanced at the large number of resources available in front of him, all of which were obtained for him by the Kaos royal family, and the quality and fineness were very good, including many rare metals on the continent.

"Is this, iron ore?" Suddenly, Levi noticed something, only to see him reach out his free left hand and pick up the iron-gray ore.

The alchemy array in his hand flashed, and Levi could distinguish all the ingredients in this unprocessed ore, except for iron, there was also a lot of titanium (Ti) mixed in it.

This is not ironite, but ilmenite.

The knowledge about titanium is naturally recited by Livi as "light weight, high strength, and high corrosion resistance".

Levi weighed the small piece of ilmenite in his hand, time waits for no one, or he will take titanium first.

He was a man of action, and after deciding to use titanium as a lens carrier, Levi got all the ilmenite on the workbench and put it on the workbench, and then unfolded the alchemy circle.

Rivi, who can only unfold the alchemy array with his left hand, is of course a little less efficient than working with both hands at the same time, and uses the alchemy array to hold up a kilogram of ilmenite, and Levi begins to refine ilmenite.

Originally, it was a very complicated matter to extract titanium from ilmenite, although Levi could extract it manually with the preparation he prepared, but with the help of the alchemy array, Levi saved this step.

Once upon a time, there was a saying about alchemists - that is, the best craftsmen in the world, and the reason for this is that alchemists have an irreplaceable advantage in alchemy, and the most powerful craftsmen can only bow down in front of them.

Dividing the refined titanium aside, Levi took away the iron ore that had become smaller, and only liquid titanium remained on the alchemy array.

Morph

All metals are the easiest to deform in the liquid state, and titanium is no exception, and Levi is constantly mentally designing and changing the shape of the lens carrier while actually making it.

If it can be hung on a person's face, then the more reasonable way is to hook the position of the back of the human ear through the titanium extending in the strip, and at this point, the liquid titanium suddenly stretched out with two more arcs under the control of Livi.

In order to keep the lenses intact and not fall out, Levi raised his injured right hand and grabbed the lens next to him with his middle finger, first on the left and right, then up and down, and finally with his two fingers against each side of the lens.

"The diameter of the lens is 5.5cm, so the circumference of the lens is 17.27cm" At the moment, there were two gaps in the liquid titanium with the same circumference as Levi said.

The excess titanium was useless, so Levi removed the liquid titanium, leaving only a strangely shaped object, and when the object cooled down, Levi did not set the lens for the first time, but took the lens carrier and put it on his face.

"Everyone's face is different in size, so you should add joints that hold the extension in place and can be folded and moved."

Standing in front of the workbench, Levi pinched his chin again and said, "And the nose should be padded with two brackets, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable."

In alchemy, there are few things that can be made to perfection the first time, at least not Levi, many times he has learned from piles of failed waste, and finally finished, so the saying that failure is the mother of success is definitely a wise saying for alchemists.

Melting the load to liquid titanium at high temperatures again, Levi opened his pocket watch, glanced at the time, and resumed his work.

But for Levi, these jobs were not burdens at all, but pleasures, pleasures that only an alchemist could understand.

Knights are charged into battle and slay their enemies, mages are studying spells in order to pursue themselves to higher levels, and the motivation for alchemists to keep moving forward is to invent their own products one day.

Making existing items is no longer enough for Rivi, he enjoys the supreme achievement of creating new alchemy products, Livi believes that since the day alchemists are born, their responsibility has been predestined, to use their knowledge to promote the world, so that the world can develop in all aspects, the people's lives will be better and better, natural disasters will no longer make people lose their homes, plagues and diseases will no longer ravage and take the lives of a large number of living beings, and it is not knights or mages who can do this, but only them- Alchemist!

Although he can only make these inconspicuous small items and gadgets now, one day, he will let everyone remember his contributions to this continent without the help of force!

Because he is the only alchemist on this continent.

...

When the time was almost up, he stood in front of the huge mirror where he came, holding two pairs of alchemical products that Levi had named "glasses" with movable joints and nose pads embedded in the lenses.

Levi has to go back, or he won't see anyone one night, and the next day, and Madame Ronnie will worry about him.

Before leaving, Levi glanced back at the stack that had turned his fate, and his gaze unconsciously fell to a small box directly in front of the floor of the stack.

After a moment's hesitation, Levi put away his glasses and slowly walked over to the small box, holding his breath before opening it.

It was a white background, about 180 cm long, with golden threads depicted on the edges, and it was a valuable robe at first glance, which was a gift from the last alchemist to Levi as his successor ten centuries ago, but Rivi knew that he was not worthy to wear this robe that symbolized the alchemist's inheritance for ten lifetimes.

On the body of the robe, there is a red equilateral triangle tattooed, and three circles are drawn on each of the three corners of the triangle, and Levi guessed the meaning of this symbol, just like now there is a knight's court directly under the country, and there is a mage guild that forms a guild system, and in that long ago, would there also be a guild for alchemists?

Levi's eyes appeared in front of him, in the huge guild, alchemists exchanged their opinions and experiences in alchemy, the scene was in full swing, this scene made his heart hot, how he wished he could be one of them, publishing his latest invention, but he also understood that it was impossible.

It's just that what Levi doesn't know is that since the appearance of alchemists to the end of that era, there have only been nine alchemists...

Gently closing the box, Livi calmed his mind, and his gaze gradually became firm, "There will be a day when I will become an alchemist worthy of this robe."

This time, Levi left without looking back, and his figure disappeared into the ripples of the mirror, and returned to the mainland.

...

The large alchemy array flashed, and Levi was once again standing on the dusty ground in a corner of the town of Jotun, and he would have to wait another seven days for the next time he wanted to open this large alchemy array.

Levi looked up at the morning sun on the side of the ridge to confirm the approximate time, it should be past six o'clock in the morning, and the townspeople could already be seen toiling in the wheat fields in the distance.

"Let's go back quickly" Even though he hadn't slept all night, Levi was not tired at all, his eyes were bright, and he patted the two pairs of glasses in his waist bag and prepared to go back to Andrew's house.

But before he could take two steps, a faint cry that might not have been heard by another person caught his attention.

"Meow~" Levi heard that the cry was a cat's barking, and it sounded like a kitten that had just been weaned, and his voice was very soft and weak.

Looking in the direction from which the cry came, Levi found a pile of hay there, and he didn't know who piled it there, and Levi cautiously leaned over.

"Meow~" The kitten was still barking, and without alarming the kitten, Levi picked up the pile of hay.

In the haystack, there was the corpse of a large cat and a kitten that looked like it was two months old with its head arched over the big cat.

The kitten, apparently having never seen much of a human, twisted the young cat's head, looked at Levi curiously, and then ran to Levi's outstretched left hand, biting his sleeve and dragging it towards the big cat.

It was supposed to be in the hope that Levi could save the big cat, but Levi could see that the big female cat was dead, and there was a fatal bite on the abdomen, and blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground.

"Meow!" the kitten was in a hurry, but there was nothing Levi could do, not to mention that his alchemy could not have an effect on living bodies, even if he could, he didn't have this knowledge, it was impossible to come back from the dead in alchemy, maybe when the big cat was not dead, the mage's healing techniques could come in handy.

The kitten seemed to understand something, and was very spiritual, no longer biting Levi's sleeve, and returned to the big cat's side to nest.

Using alchemy to break down a small pit nearby, Levi took the body of the female cat, which was already no longer warm, into his arms, and the kitten watched him bark softly and stood guard on the edge of the pit.

Alchemist is a rational profession, and sensibility does not account for much, or even none, but at the same time, sensibility is also the most indispensable for alchemists, because sensibility is a lock on the alchemist's reason, without this lock, the alchemist's reason will collapse little by little, until it is annihilated, and finally reduced to the walking dead that exists only for alchemy.

The ending of those predecessors is the best proof of this, they are no longer emotional, and they are full of madness, and the overwhelming alchemy creations have destroyed one country after another, turning the continent into devastation.

Burying the body of the mother cat in the ground, Levi took one last look at the kitten, who was still in a hurry, scratched the kitten's chin with his fingers, and got up to leave.

The kitten was unwary of Levi, but he shook off the yellowish fluff on his body, dug up the mound where his mother was buried with his paws, and followed after Levi's ass.

“... If you want to follow me, it's okay, you won't starve to death if you follow me anyway," Revy smiled when he saw this.

That is, from this day on, there was a little pet that meowed every day around Levi, and this kitten also found its new home here in Levi.
