In the alchemy laboratory in the inner fort of Cook Castle, Luo Sheng looked at the black oil that was burned again on the test bench, and shook his head helplessly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The stability is still not good! It seems that this improved version of the fire oil bomb is not easy to do!" Luo Sheng said with some disappointment while cleaning up the test bench.

In the past month or so, because there is no threat from other places, Luo Sheng's life has been very comfortable. Especially after dealing with the disability and injuries at Cook Castle and Black Forest Village, Luo Sheng spends a lot of time on his own cultivation every day, exercising his physical body, meditating on his mental powers, practicing spells, and reading books. In this rare quiet time, Luo Sheng worked hard to consolidate his foundation and prepare for his promotion.

However, it is a pity for Luo Sheng that the Cook family is a family inherited from warriors after all, and there are not many books related to spells collected. When he went back to the library to borrow books a few days ago, Luo Sheng found that there were no new spell books for him to borrow.

Of course, the library of the Cook family was able to support it for nearly two months, which was actually quite satisfactory to Luo Sheng. After all, with his legendary insight and experience, the speed of learning is amazing. Usually, the general basic knowledge only needs to be read carefully to basically grasp the content. Even if the more esoteric knowledge of spells is more esoteric, just by reading it more and thinking about it more, it can be integrated into the original knowledge system. At this rate, the library of the Cook family can last for two months, which is already a profound foundation.

After most of the time spent reading was free, Luo Sheng did not choose to increase the time for cultivation in other aspects, except for adding a little more time to guide Fei Li, who was working hard to cultivate recently, but shifted his attention to alchemy. More precisely, it focused on the fire oil bombs captured after defeating the Ash Thieves.

In terms of the power of the explosion alone, the fire oil bomb is far inferior to the fireball technique, and even some powerful second-ring damage spells. In addition, it can only attack by throwing, and the speed cannot be too fast, so it is not very useful in skirmishes. Even Martin, his inventor, only used this kind of fire oil bomb to attack fixed targets, mainly relying on the characteristics of black oil combustion to achieve the purpose of attacking the enemy. Small camps are very useful against ordinary villages, but they are not very useful against truly well-defended fortresses.

However, after seeing the huge power produced by the explosion of nearly a hundred fire oil bombs together, and having some understanding of the material and production process of this weapon, Luo Sheng had a new idea for this simple alchemy weapon.

On the one hand, the main raw material for making fire oil bombs is black oil, a kind of thing similar to the oil on the earth, which is also transformed by plants buried in the ground, but because of the existence of magic in the Ymir continent, the process of black oil formation is much faster than that of oil, and black oil has some magic power.

However, like oil, black oil can also be exploited on a large scale as long as a suitable oil well is found, so as long as you have the heart, the raw materials will be very sufficient, and the cost will not be too high.

On the other hand, fire oil bombs are similar to many fire-based attack spells, and once they are scaled, they will form a linkage effect. The power of one or two fire oil bombs is not obvious, but dozens of them explode together, which is enough to compare to the attack spells of the four or five rings, and the power should not be underestimated.

And compared to spell attacks that are hugely powerful, but are limited by the number of casters and the number of scrolls, the alchemy weapon of fire oil bombs can be made in large quantities, and the number is almost not too limited. If the power of the oil bomb can be greater, the safety is higher, and a relatively simple and low-cost production method can be found, it can definitely become a strategic weapon. After all, anyone who has experienced the industrial age of the earth knows that explosive weapons that can be manufactured in large quantities are definitely a killer weapon in a large-scale war.

With this in mind, Luo Sheng asked Carl for samples and some materials of fire oil bombs seized from the old lair of the Ash Thieves, and began to study and test.

Relying on the foundation of the alchemist, Luo Sheng quickly understood the information left by Martin the Fire Thrower, and restored the production of the fire oil bomb. But in terms of improvement, there have been repeated setbacks. Several trials in a row failed quickly, with little progress.

For this situation, Luo Sheng is actually not surprised. Although he has the background of an alchemy master, he basically focused on the refining of various potions and poisons in his previous life, and he has little knowledge of this alchemy weapon. In fact, in his previous life, Luo Sheng had always been alone, and the purpose of learning alchemy was also to improve his combat effectiveness and deal with more powerful professional enemies. For the fire oil bomb, which is mainly used in the alchemy weapon of ordinary armies, it is not at all interested.

But after being reborn, things changed. If Luo Sheng wants to establish his own power, shelter his relatives, and participate in the overall game in the future, he can no longer only focus on the improvement of his personal ability.

After all, for an independent force, the top combat power is certainly the core, but the combat effectiveness of the grassroots team is also very important. Especially in the case of mutual checks and balances between the top forces, the combat effectiveness of the grassroots team will directly affect the outcome of the game between the forces. And the fire oil bomb is a sharp weapon that can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the grassroots team. When he had some spare time, Luo Sheng naturally wanted to study it first and add some background to himself.

"Do you want to go to Treasure Island specifically?" Packing up the test bench, Rason fell into deep thought.

The ability to reproduce the existing fire oil bombs mainly relies on some of the information left by Martin, which is also Martin's hard work for many years. If you want to make a big breakthrough on this basis, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on Luo Sheng's current foundation, and if you really want to do this, you must find more professional people, or learn more professional alchemy knowledge.

And on the Ymir continent, the best at refining and using the alchemy weapon of fire oil bombs is undoubtedly the goblins on the southern treasure island. These crazy and greedy little men have strong technical accumulation and amazing courage in the development of alchemy weapons, especially bomb-type weapons, and have even created a terrifying bomb at the level of the destruction of the royal capital. If Luo Sheng wants to learn the making of alchemy weapons, or hire an expert in this field, it is undoubtedly the best choice to go to the Goblin's stronghold Hidden Treasure Island.

"Forget it, there's still a chance to talk about it. After weighing it for a while, Luo Sheng finally shook his head. Now Luo Sheng is still in the initial stage of development, and the core task is to improve his own strength. If you have time to spare, it's okay to do a little accumulation for the future, but if you spend a lot of time across the continent to the Treasure Island, it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

"Luo Sheng, didn't bother you, did it, how did the experiment go?" While Luo Sheng was thinking about the future, Alyssa's figure appeared at the door of the laboratory, and asked Luo Sheng with a smile.

"Alyssa, you're here! Obviously, you've failed again!" Luo Sheng said with a wry smile, pointing to the remnants of the mess he had just picked up. After living in Cook Castle for so long, although he didn't have time to get close to Alyssa silently like in his previous life, the relationship between the two parties has re-familiarized, and the names are much more casual.

"Sometimes I really don't understand, how can you, a druid, like to study such things as fire oil bombs, according to Uncle Brooke, this kind of thing should be against the druid concept and needs to be completely destroyed, right?" asked Alyssa, a little confused.

"Hehe, maybe I have a special idea. Luo Sheng smiled, not explaining too much.

In fact, because of the study of the fire oil bomb, Luo Sheng's relationship with Brooke is now quite awkward. As a traditional life druid, Brooke has a natural aversion to the fire oil bomb, which is very easy to ignite the forest and seriously damage nature, because Luo Sheng has said two things about the study of fire oil bombs. And although Luo Sheng did not refute, he did not listen to Brooke's opinion. In view of Rason's special status and previous magical performance, Brooke did not mention this matter again, but the relationship between the two froze.

In fact, this question is fundamentally a problem of different ideas between the druids. This kind of ideological conflict is common among the druids, and it has a long history. In fact, the current split in the Druid forces has a lot to do with the battle of ideas.

The original origin of the druid profession should be in the Second Age, it was the god of nature at that time, the priest of the Father of the Oak Tree, and it was a special kind of priest, and the spells used were also given by the Father of the Oak Tree.

At the end of the Second Age, in order to restore the Ilmir Continent, which was almost destroyed by the Abyss Demon, the Father of the Oak Tree, one of the most powerful gods at the time, chose to sacrifice himself, sealed the spatial passage to the Abyss, and reshaped the vitality of the Ilmir Continent. The druids, who had lost their gods, were forced to begin to transform their professions, and slowly regained their ability to cast spells through perception, communicating with nature, and condensing the power of nature.

However, despite the restoration of spellcasting ability, the absolute core of the Father of Oak was lost, and the druid's ideas diverged. Some druids, mainly elven druids who live in the forest, believe that the forest is nature, and any action that destroys nature and the forest is wrong. There are even extreme druids, who reject all civilized behaviors and live a life of fur and blood, like wild beasts.

The other part of the druids, who are mainly human beings, believe that human beings are also part of nature, and human agricultural production is also in line with the laws of nature, so while controlling human excessive destruction of forests, it is also necessary to support human agricultural production. The more food humans get through agriculture, the less likely they are to get food by destroying forests, which also indirectly protects nature.

The druids of the human faction soon gained the support of the upper echelons of the human race, and broke away from the Cenarion Council, which was dominated by elven druids, and formed the Jade Council, the mainstream force of the current human druids. They have developed many spells related to agricultural production, such as breeding and seedling promotion, which have greatly improved the food production capacity of human beings and made great contributions to the development of human beings.

But for Rason, although these ideas are good, they also have some limitations. What does the concept of nature entail, and how does the relationship between man and nature be balanced? These questions are actually very complex and cannot be explained in one or two sentences. However, Luo Sheng wants to find a natural balance concept that encompasses all environments, living things, and even the whole world, which is too shocking for ordinary people, so he doesn't want to mention it to people easily.

"By the way, Alyssa, you didn't come to me to discuss the matter of the oil bomb with me, did you?" After countless questions about the druid's philosophy flashed through his mind, Rason turned to Alyssa and asked.
