Chapter 11: Idealistic Alchemy

"I see!" Lyle skipped through the process of learning alchemy with Nico, whether it was to know various alchemy materials or to follow the experience of his predecessors, it was only to provide a knowledge reserve for the talent [Flash of Inspiration] engraved in the soul.

Although he had long been accustomed to his children's amazing talents, when it came to the alchemy that he had studied for more than thirty years, Nicol still didn't want to be surpassed too soon, and asked cautiously: "Uh...... Lyle, what do you understand? ”

"The essence of alchemy is to lodge idealistic magic on objects, and the changes and combinations on the material plane are only superficial techniques, which is a guess I made a year ago, and I still believe in it today." Lyle stretched out his hand and pointed to his small cauldron, and a flame immediately ignited underneath, apparently intending to put his true knowledge into practice.

Nicol nodded silently, he had been trying to decipher the Book of Abraham of the Jews for the past few decades to refine the Philosopher's Stone, obviously not following the route of idealistic alchemy, but the successful refining of the Philosopher's Stone was largely inspired by his son, which can be used as evidence.

"In the past year, I have been able to make the alchemy items you taught by hand, Dad, but I can't create brand new alchemy items at will. The reason for this is that my imagination is hindered. Lyle said with a look of shame, and under the frequent failures, he once suspected that his past guesses were wrong, and although there were no detours, his pace slowed down.

Nikoch said, "Hindered? ”

"It's true that not everything can be a container for long-term magic preservation, and inappropriate materials can affect the effect of spells, but the effects of materials are by no means limited to that." Lyle hooked his fingers, and clean dew, sand, the carapace of some kind of monster, and the petals of some kind of herb fell into the alchemy cauldron.

“?” Nicol's brows furrowed, these materials used by Lyle can't be refined anything, it's just messing around.

Lyle smiled and asked, "Dad, were you thinking just now that you can't refine anything with these materials?" ”

Nicol's face turned red, and he coughed dryly and quibbled, "I was just thinking that you didn't deal with the material." ”

"Let's just take it as it is." Lyle didn't care, and explained to himself, "If there is too much dew, this is not boiling soup; The Warcraft carapace was not ground into powder and could not be fused with other materials; The petals of the herbs are not juiced, and the slag is what you want to do; Is it serious to put it directly into the sand, this is not a high-quality alchemy material; The nature of these materials simply does not match - according to the current alchemy, these are all very reasonable ideas. ”

"You mean ......?!" Combined with the previous words, Nicol finally understood what Lyle meant.

Lyle nodded, "Yes, no matter what material is used, whether it is as precious as Oreja steel or as cheap as mud, it comes with all kinds of unnecessary stereotypes. This stereotype is subtle and ingrained, and even though I am aware of it now, I cannot be completely immune to it in the alchemy process. ”

For example, Oreja steel, which is called the 'hardest metal', has the stereotype of 'hard', and if you don't use it to make alchemical items that are not strong enough, something will feel wrong.

Nicol hesitated, "...... That is, the idealistic alchemy you pursued failed? ”

"Ignoring the type of material and doing whatever you want at the level of alchemy, I don't think I can reach it, but!" Lyle smiled smugly, picked up the big soup spoon, and stirred the contents of the alchemy boiler, "If you lower the level and choose what I think is the right material according to the use of the items I need to refine, then that's another story~!" ”

(Buzz!) As Lyle stirred, the cauldron burst out with a golden light.

After the golden light dissipated, a pair of glasses of unknown purpose slowly fell on Lyle's hand.

"Really succeeded?" Nicol hurriedly took two steps closer and looked into the cauldron to see that it was empty, not even a drop of dew that could not have evaporated in a short time.

"The technical point is [I think it's appropriate]." Lyle put on his alchemy glasses and once again added clean dew, sand, the carapace of some kind of monster, and the petals of some kind of herb to the alchemy cauldron, "I don't need to be approved by others, I don't need to strictly calculate the amount of materials, I don't need to process the materials, so I can easily reverse the recipe from the use - yes, this is the whole picture of idealistic alchemy I want." ”

“!!!” Nicol shuddered.

Despite the vain lessons he had learned over the past few decades, Klyell's depiction of the direction of alchemy fascinated by the fact that alchemy with mental restrictions could have a much higher ceiling than alchemy with material limitations.

"Here's Potions~Will the same result happen~" Lyle's path of exploration is not over.

》》》》》》》

After the birthday celebration of Selzeweed, the children of Shyareth Village frequently visited the Asian Village, and the children of the Asian Village would occasionally come to the Siales Village to play. It's not that the other party's village is so interesting, it's just that their activity space is too small, and there is no other good place to go when they are tired of staying in their own village.

As a result of the children's exchanges, the adults gradually began to exchange goods in the form of trades, and even the village chief, the number one reactionary, finally accepted Yaren, and the huge cherry blossom tree finally bloomed brilliantly again after hundreds of years, and has not withered since.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before humans and subhumans live together again, and now both sides are living peacefully according to their own steps - except for the imps.

"Dang Dang ~ The [I Wonder Magic Academy] established by me was established today, you are the first batch of students, but you must study hard and don't let this principal lose face~!" A year after the promise, Lyle stood on the roof of his house and announced the news to the boys.

"What a strange name, I asked to change the name of the school!" Sakiya raised his hand and said.

Lyle voted down: "The request is invalid, the name of the school deeply reflects my understanding of magic." ”

"Principal, principal, I heard that schools in big cities pack meals at noon." Pelucia said with a smile.

"Have you ever heard that schools in big cities charge tuition?" Lyle sank the poor mermaid who worked as a handyman in the bathhouse.

Alisa played with her hair and smiled, "The opening of the school year has been announced, which means that the school supplies have been made?" ”

"Of course~" Lyle floated down from the roof and put the glasses in his hand on Alyssa's head, making Alyssa, the most mature among the girls in the village, also blush, but she didn't notice it because she was in a state of commentary, "To activate idealistic magic, imagination alone is not enough, you need magic to extend to the target, the wand is a good tool but not a qualified teaching aid, and this glasses can help you see your own magic." ”

"See your own magic?" The others flocked to Alyssa's side.

"I've got all your glasses ready." A pair of glasses flew out of Lyle's pocket, apparently the result of applying the Traceless Extension Charm, "The first learning goal is not high, just generate mana and channel mana to the palm of your hand." ”
