Chapter 5: Alchemy

As soon as he opened his eyes, Laces jumped up from the ground and hurried to the alchemy table not far away, where a large number of tools were placed - in order to test his thoughts, he even meditated today in the alchemy room specially prepared for him by Albert.

In addition to bottles and jars, various tools and utensils, there is also a delicate willow leaf-shaped short sword on the alchemy workbench, the blade is like snow, the cold light is overflowing, and the bottom of the blade is engraved with intricate patterns, although there are no magic fluctuations, but it also gives people a mysterious and mysterious beauty.

This is a silver short sword created by Latis himself, which is engraved with the basic carrying magic pattern for the enchantment of the weapon, but there is no specific magic pattern on the enchantment attribute on it, and now it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, if it is a magician who is proficient in the enchantment branch of alchemy, it can be seen that the carrying magic pattern on the body of this sword has been slightly modified.

After checking the magic pattern on the sword's body one after another, Latis took a deep breath, opened his right palm, and took out the golden inscription that had just been reproduced and extracted in the spirit world, and guided it towards the center of the blade, and at the same time read the words in his mouth, and read out the content of this inscription:

"Manifest! Fusion, Sword of the Sun God Ruger Mike Essolon, and the Soul Reaver Sword of Vengeance, ······ of Fragerrak"

With this almost ceremonial guidance, the golden inscription gradually fits into the center of the sword, forming a subtle inscription imprint in the blank space of the sturdy spine of the sword, faintly emitting a stunning shimmer.

Lades, who had completed this step, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly picked up the enchantment pen that had been filled with gold-melting magic ink on the side, and quickly carved out a delicate connecting magic pattern, cleverly connecting the bearing magic pattern at the bottom with the mythological inscription in the middle.

His technique was calm and sophisticated, and the pen had quickly completed this tedious process, and the golden light at the inscription began to extend to the bottom of the sword body along the connecting magic pattern, and a majestic and solemn energy fluctuation began to spread from this sword.

"The last step!"

Seeing the astonishing changes in the sword body, Latis was ecstatic, but he didn't forget the last step of the enchanted weapon, and hurriedly picked up another larger enchantment engraving pen, and connected the magic pattern with a straight and slightly thick straight line to connect the bearing magic pattern that had been dyed gold with the core energy supply magic array carved at the sword. The effect of the core circle is to absorb the elemental energy in the air and convert it into a mana store, and provide energy to maintain the effect for the magic pattern on the sword body, so that the enchantment effect can be maintained permanently, and only after completing this step can it be called a real enchanted weapon.

When the last step was completed, the magic power on the short sword finally formed a whole, and the light blue attributeless magic power gathered out from the core magic array, spreading along the connecting magic pattern to the sword body.

Latis stared at the magic color that one gold and one blue were about to connect, and he didn't even dare to breathe, nervously waiting for the final result.

It was the first time that he had carried out his idea to this point, and whether it could succeed or not depended on whether the two forces could be compatible.

Under Latisse's nervous gaze, the two colors finally came together, however, the result was not good, they did not succeed in merging together, but had a rejection reaction, and the energy fluctuations became extremely irritable and chaotic, causing the entire sword body to vibrate violently - no matter how you look at it, the situation in front of you is very dangerous.

Latis turned a blind eye to this, just shook his head in disappointment, and sighed: "Aren't the attributes intolerant? I should have thought of it a long time ago······ It's still a little too naïve, this kind of thing can't be gambled on by luck······"

The failed alchemy dagger ended his short life in his lament, and exploded under the conflict of the two forces, but before the explosion had any impact on the surrounding environment, this closed alchemy room sensed this terrifying power in advance, and dense magic runes instantly appeared on the deep metal walls, enough to suppress all the riots of magic filled the air, and forcibly suppressed the explosion.

This means of protection was so effective that apart from the damaged wreckage of the dagger, the other tools on the alchemy table were not even affected in any way.

Latis cheered up, took out several pairs of mage hands to clean up the alchemy table, turned around and walked towards the door with a thoughtful face, and his muttering could be faintly heard in the air: "Do you have to solve the problem of attribute rejection next?" In this way, you have to add the part of converting energy attributes, whether to use magic arrays, magic patterns, or runes······ I haven't accumulated enough of these basic knowledge, I have to study it further······"

"The headache is that there is no way to analyze the attributes of the mythological inscriptions, what attributes to convert the magic into to be compatible is the biggest problem, do you have to try your luck one by one to experiment? Hey~, headache ······"

"Forget it, stay at home for so long, go outside and relax~"

···············

As the so-called failure is the mother of success, nothing can be succeeded casually, in the past two years of learning alchemy, he has not known how many times he has failed, he has long been accustomed to it, and he will not be too depressed because of the failure of this experiment, not to mention that compared to ordinary mages, his progress has been considered fast.

When he first began to study alchemy, after a period of study and research, he relied on a memory far beyond ordinary people, a sufficient foundation of magical knowledge, and outstanding magic quality. With strong mental power and precise control, he quickly got started with this all-encompassing magic subject, but it took two months to be able to make apprentice-level alchemy props 100% according to the inherent formula, and the success rate was terrifyingly high, which was a speed of progress that a normal mage would never reach, and it could only be said that his early advantage was too obvious.

After the initial training, he began to work on something that only a full-fledged mage or above would study—designing and developing his own alchemy items.

This difficulty has increased all of a sudden, I don't know how many times, you know, according to the inherent formula to make alchemy items only need to be completed step by step, even if you don't understand the principle, as long as the process does not go wrong, it is possible to succeed, but just this is also difficult to know how many apprentices who are not talented enough, and their own design of alchemy items must be based on this, so that there is enough understanding of the knowledge that may be used in it.

Deeply understand the principle of the operation of the effect of the article, the subtle performance differences of the materials used, all the possible adverse reactions, the comparison of material treatment and material selection, etc······ There's so much to learn about it.

The accumulation of knowledge required by the two is simply a world of difference!

There were no shortcuts to the accumulation of knowledge, and Laceus soon hit a bottleneck, even though he could experiment with his brilliant ideas without considering the consumption of materials and the serious consequences of the failure of the experiment, and even though he repeatedly asked Albert for advice on the reasons for the failure and humbly sought guidance, his progress was still slow.

For no other reason, his accumulation of basic knowledge is still a little too weak compared to the experiments he wants to do.

Ignoring the huge knowledge of materials science like an endless ocean, the grasp of essential knowledge is completely insufficient.

The root of alchemy is the extended application of the magic foundation of the three major systems, the magic circle science corresponding to the magic of the magic circle system, the magic pattern science born to assist the model system magic, and the rune literature derived from the magic of the oldest and most mysterious rune system, these three systems are the core foundation of the magic that constitutes the miracle - alchemy, and the effect of all alchemy items comes from the use of these three great knowledge.

Without sufficient research on these three disciplines, designing alchemical objects is simply nonsense.

In order to realize his idea, Latis could only suspend the headless experiment and go back to the exploration and study of these three systems.

However, the three major magical disciplines were originally the most important and boring subjects that Albert arranged for him, so in the end, he still had to obey his father's wishes and devote more energy to the accumulation of basic knowledge.

I'm afraid that Albert will allow him to learn alchemy, and he has expected this for a long time - instead of blindly pressuring him to learn, it is better to find another way and let him learn according to his own interests.

In this way, Albert is a master of education, and he deserves to be a high-level mage in the transcendent realm.

In this way, Lades, who had sunk his heart, threw himself into the ocean of learning wholeheartedly, absorbing knowledge at a much faster rate than in the first two years of his practice, and improving almost every day.

There was nothing but study, and such monotonous and fulfilling days went on until the cold wind was steep, and the breath of winter covered the never-withering rose leaves outside the manor with a frost-white crystal, and when the year of Radis's eight-year-old was about to pass, his strength may not have made much leap, but his basic knowledge was no longer the same.

With Albert's careful teaching, in terms of basic knowledge, even a knowledgeable formal mage may not be stronger than the current Radis, and as the so-called rising tide lifts all boats, the consolidation of the foundation has also led to the rapid improvement of the level of alchemy, and the experimental problems that plagued him before are often solved, although there is still an unknown distance from achieving his goal, but the development of ordinary alchemy items has been difficult for him.

The use of knowledge at his fingertips, combined with the whimsy of the traverser, has led him to come up with a lot of delicate and useful gadgets, not to mention changing the world, at least from the external conditions to greatly improve his combat and survivability This is not a problem.

After all, equipment is also part of strength.
