Chapter 8: Alchemy I
Xilin District, Sutum's residence.
In a spacious room, Talos was rearranging the various materials that Nick had sent to him, as Sutum had requested. In a matter of moments, the originally empty room was stuffed to the brim, making it a little cramped.
These materials consist mainly of various ores, a pile of strange fine white crystals, and some of them are edible plants, fruits, and grains. In addition to this, there are many large and small pottery vessels.
No matter what kind of material it was, the quantity was quite a lot, more than double what Sutum had asked for, which was simply beyond his expectations.
From this point of view, Zoro is not only thoughtful, but also very good at being a person, and he really deserves to be the boss of the party.
After finishing the materials, Talos looked at the items with a strange face, and couldn't guess what they were for. He knew he could eat the fruits and grains, but he didn't know what the ores were used for. Could it be that this master was also a craftsman, who knew how to use ore and forge it?
Although Talos is a warrior, he used to be a city guard, so he has not seen a lot, and he is a little confused here.
"Alright, Talos, you go out and keep watch outside. ”
Sutum commanded at the strong man.
Perhaps his previous words really touched the bottom of Talos's heart. At least for the past two days, the strong man had no intention of escaping. Sutum is also secretly observing Talos, if this person can really be trusted and used, he doesn't mind using his power in the future to fulfill some wishes for him.
Not now, of course.
Talos withdrew silently, then stinted at the door.
Sutum looked at him in the mirror, sensed his condition, and said in his heart, sure enough, he was a soldier who had been a city defender, and his professionalism was still quite high.
and the girl Thea who was in Eloth's room. The maiden was temporarily in charge of taking care of the sleeping Elloth, as he had commanded. Depending on the situation, it can be considered serious.
The performance of the two made Sutum very satisfied. He relaxes and engages in the next job.
He picked some ores and crystals and placed them in front of him. Then the distracting thoughts were gradually suppressed, and the thoughts entered the spiritual world.
Since turning into a demon, the entire spiritual world is no longer the same as before, it is a vast area, and there is no concept of time and space. Now, this spiritual world has been transformed into a beautiful city. The city is bordered by the sea on one side and the forest on the other, and the ocean and the forest lead to nothingness—the end of the spiritual world.
The city is actually the size of a small town, with snow-white buildings and beautiful plants, and a tall castle in the middle.
The so-called spiritual world is actually incarnated by Sutum's sublimated spirit to protect the soul and the place of thinking. Mortals are weak in spirit, and can only turn into a vast void. And demons, who are spiritually powerful, can give birth to an illusory world with their minds.
Although it is an illusory world, if everything in it is born only from imagination, it will not last, but will only change at any time. The next time you come in, the scenery will be completely different. Sutum, on the other hand, is that he fused the ideas of the previous Sutum, and was born from his insight, which can be fixed. Even so, if any other soul could stay awake here, and enter the white buildings, they would find that they were empty and nothing else. This is because Sutum has limited insight and is unable to further shape him.
When Sutum's knowledge grows richer and his strength grows, the world will be more perfect, and people will not be able to distinguish between the real and the fake.
His mind appeared in the center of the city, inside a tall castle. The castle looks magnificent, but in essence it is just an empty shell, and only a few places can be seen.
One of these places is a spacious library.
The book here is actually the embodiment of all the memories of Sutum's past and present lives, directly dating back to the time when his soul was just born and he was still in the mother's womb as a fetus.
Similarly, most of the books here have only one cover. Only when his spirit is strong enough to dig slowly can he be fully generated. It will increase more and more in the future.
Sutum walked over to one of the bookshelves labeled "Technology" and closed his eyes. There was a flash of black light on the shelves, and two books were slowly taking shape here.
Most of the books here are based on technology-related knowledge from Sutum's memories. This includes the technical courses he has listened to before, the relevant videos he has watched, and the relevant information that he has searched, browsed, and scanned on the Internet. It's a pity that it's all fragmented knowledge.
The same is true of the two books that are about to take shape.
Soon, both books were in shape, each with a thin layer, about the thickness of a few pages. One cover is a glass pattern, and the other has the word "wine" written on it.
"Sure enough, when the book is used, there is less hatred. In my previous life, I saw only a little bit of the technology for making glass and making wine...... Forget it, let's make do with it. ”
Sutum's body was full of flames, and he seemed to feel a little ashamed. It's just that the crimson flames cover everything, and you can't see how he blushes.
At this time, what he appeared in the spiritual world was not a human body, but a demonic body. The body is about three meters tall and stands proudly, and countless runes and patterns symbolizing mysterious power are constantly circulating on the body. Behind him, a pair of pitch-black wings were fully unfolded, two chains of cold light flickered in the void, and the crimson fire around him was burning, and the whole person exuded an extremely terrifying might.
This is the demon of the whole body, which only angels and prophets can contend with.
His demonic true body was extremely condensed, exactly like what he had manifested in the outside world. There is no illusory feeling of the spiritual world at all.
It's a perk that comes from time in time - he has a soul that ordinary lower demons don't have.
Ordinary lower demons, although they have immortal bodies, powerful spiritual minds, and all kinds of terrifying abilities, they do not have souls. There is no soul to carry the spirit, and the spirit is directly connected to the demonic body, and it will be affected by the body. Therefore, although the general lower demons are wise, they lack rationality and are always swayed by the ** of the body.
Carrom in Redlight City is an example of this.
He was reincarnated as a demon, and his soul turned into nourishment for his body, and his spirit was directly connected to the newborn demon body, and was controlled by the ** of the demon body. It is precisely because of this that his IQ will be reduced in the battle with Sutum, and he will be consumed alive.
When the current demon grows slowly and condenses his soul through various ways, he can truly gain reason. The demon at this time is the truly powerful life.
Soul cohesion is a long process, ranging from a few years to decades. Even if time is meaningless to demons, they are easily affected by ** during this period, causing great damage, and thus being destroyed by angels or prophets.
Sutum was lucky enough to cross that threshold.
After the two books were condensed, he didn't have to deliberately look through them, and the content in them naturally went through in his thoughts.
The next step is to digest these contents and practice them.
A flash of fire flashed, Sutum disappeared from the spiritual world, and his mind returned to reality again.
Inside the room, he unleashed a crimson fire, controlling the temperature, slowly melting the ore and white crystals in front of him.
