Chapter 2 Meetings and Memories
At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Luo Yin couldn't wait to go to the hardware store and buy ten 30x30 cm glass plates, etching solvents and various types of glass carving knives. Then I went to the supermarket and bought rubber gloves, masks, protective goggles, a few fine brushes and fixtures. A few hundred dollars of New Year's money disappeared with a snap.
When she got home, Liu Baifei was still asleep. Luo Yin began to practice.
Because the alchemy process requires the alchemist's spirit, behavior, and carrier to exist consistently, it is impossible to cheat by molds. The uncle at the hardware store was puzzled when he didn't buy molds or paraffin paper, and could only think that this was the bear kid's own play.
Spread a layer of plastic paper on the kitchen table and close the doors and windows. The brush was glued with hydrofluoric acid-based etching solution, and with bated breath, he wrote a sentence on the glass plate at random, "The smell of the world is Qinghuan", and after two or three minutes, a large strange smell came out, and the window was opened for ventilation.
His calligraphy is okay, authentic European style. However, the etching solution is stained too much, resulting in rough and rough corroded edges. The corrosion depth and accuracy of the corrosive liquid are not up to the requirements of alchemy items, and the follow-up has to be slowly made by a carving knife.
As for how to use the carving knife... He learned it all by watching videos.
Kitchen, brushes, hydrofluoric acid, tubing teaching, a folk alchemist earthy smell.
The first two pieces of glass were basically used for hand practice and were scrapped. Glass carving, the wrist should be tough, steady and flexible, Luo Yin's carved crosses basically have no flight, the wrist is also extremely sore, and there are cracks in the middle of the glass plate.
At the beginning of the third block, Luo Yin began to practice the dragon inscription. He felt like he remembered, but it was clear that the hand didn't. It is estimated that there is no one in the world who teaches dragon calligraphy......
After three, four, or five pieces were scrapped one after another, Luo Yin recognized the reality, and with his current level, it was unrealistic to think about carving a perfect inscription without hanging it.
Words and spirits. Mirror pupils.
When this spirit only acts on a small glass plate and a brush in his hand, things seem to show him all their information. He even knew the weak points inside the glass plate, the concentration and distribution of the etching solution on the tip of the brush.
In three seconds, an inscription was written in one go, and the spirit of the words was closed. A few seconds of use doesn't put much strain on the brain, and of course it doesn't finish the alchemy item, he's just practicing and memorizing.
According to the beginner's guide, making alchemy items is a very metaphysical thing, especially requiring an infusion of spirit. The casters of the legendary alchemy knives that can slay dragons, such as Onimaru Kunitsuna and Tongzi Qi'an Gang, put almost all of their souls into the casting process before successfully attaching the alchemy realm that can fight against pure-blooded dragons for the sword. In this way, the words and spirits turn on and off back and forth, which will eventually lead to the coherence of the physical circuit, but the spiritual circuit is blocked.
Every ten minutes, he would use the mirror pupil to write inscriptions, and the rest of the time he would practice the delicate work of carving knives. By the time the tenth block is engraved, four different inscriptions have become part of muscle memory, and the use of the carving knife looks similar to that of a connoisseur with several years of experience. The spirit of words is truly an incredible power.
"Luo Yin?"
He stiffened.
was so engrossed, Liu Baifei was standing outside the kitchen looking at Luo Yin, who was dressed as a Frankenstein, with a knife and slashing around the glass.
"Mom, I do handicrafts. The senior year of high school is a bit stressful. How long have you been standing outside? ”
"It didn't take long." I saw that your eyes glowed a few times. "Remember to pack up."
"Mm-hmm, rest assured. Don't come in, the gas is a bit toxic. ”
"You're going to find your dad tonight?"
"Yes."
"I'll go along."
Luo Yin's right hand stiffened.
Liu Baifei washed up and went to the company to work overtime. Indeed, the pressure of the third year of high school is still quite high, and it is normal for children to want to do some manual work. The glow of the eyes should be the "genetics" of his family mentioned by Ke Di, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Uh-huh, not a big problem...... A hammer.
After Liu Baifei set off, Luo Yin held his breath and released the mirror pupil with all his strength.
Long Wen's image was 100% copied and pasted into his brain, and it acted on his right hand without any deviation.
The five inscriptions poured out like flowing water, and they were written in twelve seconds. The moment he closed his eyes, a sharp feeling of fatigue and pain rushed into his brain, but he could barely resist it. His eyes were fixed on the etching solution, observing it react, corrode, and volatilize.
Open the window, soak the glass in warm water to clean it, wipe it dry, and take the pen to the knife. In this highly tense state, his spirit is extremely peaceful, as if there is no self. After more than twenty minutes of continuous carving and polishing, several dangerous weak points were avoided by him because he knew in advance, and the five dragon words finally fit perfectly into each other.
As he blew the glass dust off the surface in one go, his spirit could feel it, and a tiny but wonderful field appeared. Alchemical realm.
[Alchemy Item: Level 0.]
Unnamed glass panes
Effect: Destroy this item and obtain a trace of stored permanent memory
Activation method: Mixed blood or other high-grade blood/mercury is injected into the circuit
Notes: This is an alchemist... The first work of an alchemist. In any case, his talent should be appreciated.]
The spirit of the mirror pupil is indeed a cheating existence in "ripping", if there is no mirror pupil, he is estimated to spend more than half a month just practicing dragon calligraphy.
It went incredibly well, and he became a glass-alchemist in the morning.
[Made into an alchemy item for the first time, rewarding an exclusive ability: Amnesia.]
Effect: Host selectively amnesia for specific memories. For host use only.
Alchemy models or related alchemy item manufacturing methods are not provided. 】
Luo Yin: ?
Co-authoring can only be self-harming and self-Alzheimerizing.
As his first alchemy item, he still has to have a nice name. Let's call it "Forever Memories".
After taking hundreds of commemorative photos of this once ordinary glass from different angles, Luo Yin knocked hundreds of bullshit shitty shits on his mobile phone, flipped back and forth in front of his eyes, cut his index finger, blood flowed into the circuit, and smashed the glass plate with a click.
Trace memory is indeed extremely small, and it is not even 1 kb when converted into electronic capacity. The way of storing pure text memory, he only remembered most of those hundreds of words. However, he could feel that more than 200 Amarank Worms had taken deep root in his brain, and even if he forgot his father and mother, he would not forget them.
That's when he realized how useful the amnesia skill was, otherwise it would have taken up his brain space forever, like unclean junk software.
There is one thing to say, this glass plate is sold to college entrance examination students, and it is estimated that it is a sky-high price...... I can remember it, let alone the rhetoric of liberal arts.
In order to further increase the storage capacity, the first step is to return from the flat to the three-dimensional, and the second is to increase the value of the carrier and material. A bloodline of his level is estimated to be only slightly better than the blood of a black dog.
After further improvement, it may be possible to use MB and GB as the storage unit, that is, it can store high-definition pictures and video clips in the brain...... It's called Cyber Alchemist. As for the significance of this feature, well, he still has to think about it.
At least this wave, he doesn't have to worry about his own college entrance examination. He himself chose liberal arts, mathematics and English very well, and the exam was not just a good one. Therefore, technology changes fate.
In the afternoon, he went to the hardware store again, but unfortunately there were no glass balls to sell in the store, so he had to buy an additional batch of glass plates.
successfully created a permanent memory, Luo Yin felt that his spirit was drained, and he fell asleep. At around seven o'clock in the evening, Luo's father called and asked him to make up for his birthday at the small stir-fry restaurant that the family used to go to.
**************************
"So Daddy, you already knew?"
"I don't know about this... It's all about probability. Like your grandfather, it is said that he is the big guy in the secret party of Europe, and later died on the road to slaying dragons. From your great-grandfather to my generation, I didn't make any name for myself, and I didn't want to get involved in those things. Like me, I don't even have the spirit of speech, so I can only barely order a golden pupil. ”
"The spirit of words... Daddy, do you know something about speech? ”
"I know, the spirit of words is a superpower, you can biubiubiu have to discharge, throw fireballs and the like."
Okay, you don't understand.
"I didn't think you would wake up, after all, you've grown so big. I didn't expect you to have a rare atavism of blood, and you also have a spirit of words...
I don't know much more about hybrids than you do, except to say it's not entirely a good thing. When you enter the world of half-bloods, you enter a new world, a new order, and many of the old rules no longer restrict you, but there will be new rules to limit you..."
"Something to say."
"Back then, when I was digging in England, I relied on the golden pupil to open the way for people in the grave, and it turned out to be real. The people of the secret party, oh the secret party are the tyrants of the half-bloods, the war maniacs. They fined me 200,000 yuan, revoked my status as a hunter, and gave them a guarantee every year......"
"Hunter?"
"Similar to mercenaries in half-breeds."
"The real thing?"
"Dragon corpses and alchemical dragon breath devices."
"So that's how you lost your job and divorced your mother?"
"It's not." Liu Baifei said coldly. Apparently she didn't know much about half-breeds. "He cheated in the UK and had a daughter, and he went to the UK every year to see his daughter."
The braised pork in Luo Yin's mouth suddenly became unfragrant. His worldview is collapsing.
"You have a sister named Luo Xin, or Anne. Anne Stuart, an English aristocrat. Liu Baifei mercilessly mended the knife.
Luo Kedi, this handsome and dashing man, collapsed on the chair like a defeated dog.
"You had a one-night stand with the eldest lady of a British nobleman, but as long as the child didn't want you, you were repatriated." Second degree refill.
Is this the complex world of adults?
"This is the half-breed world I told you." Years later, Roque's enemy is still in a state of sorrow. "They're a veteran family in the British half-breed, and I don't know how old... I can only go to see Anne once a year and I'm sorry for her.
After returning home, I met your mother, and of course it was true love. But then I was deported, put in a restraining order, and never saw Anne again. I was a bit of a meltdown at that time, I'm sorry you guys......"
This 40-year-old man is as fragile as a porcelain doll at the moment.
"And Anne has any news now?"
"When I went to the United States to study in business school, I couldn't get in touch."
Liu Baifei gave Luo Yin a look, don't ask, I'm going to cry if I ask again.
On the way back by the family, Liu Baifei and Luo Yin did not speak very tacitly, but just looked at the night scene outside the window. There was "Butterfly Kisses" in the car, full of bitterness.
Oh with all that I've done wrong
Although I have made a lot of mistakes
I must have done something right
But I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
This is worthy of a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night
And the butterfly kiss that night
**************************
When he arrived at the door, Luo Kedi seemed to remember something.
"Don't go to Kassel, I don't know what Kassel is, but don't go to Kassel. It's a place where monsters can live. ”
Luo Yin nodded slightly, remembering first.
"Can you tell me about the hunter website tomorrow, I want to go up and find out for myself."
"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow."
Of course, it's not just about understanding and understanding, that could be his way to riches.
