"Is this true?"

Su Mo stared into his eyes.

"It's true."

Lu Mingze nodded helplessly.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have the energy to teach you alchemy at this time."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you need anything, just say it, you don't need to take action during this time, you can take care of your injuries!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Lu Mingze was obviously a little unaccustomed.

"Is this a concern as an ally?"

He grinned, his usual mask-like smile on his face.

"No, it's the concern of being a friend."

Su Mo shook his head.

Then, when Lu Mingze was slightly stunned and slightly didn't know how to react, he added.

"Besides, I'm not the only one who cares about your injuries."

Hearing this, Lu Mingze was slightly stunned.

"Someone else found out, too?"

How can it be?

With his acting skills and grasp of dream illusions, can anyone still see that he is injured?

"They shouldn't have this ability!"

Lu Mingze said a little strangely.

Su Mo, as the bloodline of the Black King, has a high understanding of illusion resistance, how did others find out?

Seeing Lu Mingze's slightly surprised appearance, Su Mo smiled slightly.

"Didn't you say that? What thing in the world can stop the power of the heart! ”

He repeated Lu Mingze's previous words, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Just like you do to your brother, if you really care about someone, it's easy to see through their disguise, no matter what kind of power the other person uses...... But don't worry, they won't bother you. ”

The most common thing that appears in Lu Mingze's mouth is the law of power and power, and he understands the cruel reality very clearly, so he also deeply understands the weight of the so-called interests.

Because of this, he will not show weakness in front of others, he is the type who will force a smile in the face of fatal injuries, and only when he is alone will he lick his wounds like a lone wolf.

For him, exposing his wounds meant insecurity and threat.

However, although there are laws of power and power in the world, there are more than just laws of power and power.

Maybe he himself subconsciously ignored it, but in fact, when he licked his wounds, there was indeed someone guarding him.

It's just that they all know his habits, so no one says it.

After finishing speaking, Su Mo waved his hand and left.

When you open the door, you can see the nurse group and Xia Mi who stayed nearby and didn't go back.

Jiude Mai and Su Enxi both looked at it immediately, and although Zero was expressionless, he was also looking at Su Mo.

Only Miss Xia Mi looked ignorant, only she didn't notice anything, she stopped here just to wait for Su Mo.

"Don't worry, there's nothing big a problem."

Su Mo nodded and said to the three of them.

"Whew~"

Su Enxi and Jiude Mai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But like Zero, none of them said anything.

They all know that the boss may not mind showing weakness when he is strong, but he is never willing to expose his weakness when he is weak.

Maybe it's a bit disrespectful to say that, but their boss is really a stubborn kid just like he looks.

As a subordinate, what can you do when you encounter such a boss?

I can only tacitly wait for the boss to lick his wounds and come out, and I don't know what to do!

Therefore, after hearing Su Mo's words, they just cast a grateful look, and then immediately disbanded.

"So, what's not a big deal? What are you talking about? ”

After the three of them left, Xia Mi asked confusedly.

She still hadn't figured out what was going on, and she didn't know what kind of dumb riddle they were playing.

"Guess?"

Su Mo deliberately teased.

Naturally, he didn't plan to tell Xia Mi, not because he didn't trust Xia Mi's sense of secrecy, but because he didn't trust her moral bottom line.

If this female dragon with a criminal record knew that Lu Mingze was in a weak period, although she would not tear up the covenant now, it may not be impossible to kick her nose and face, and for the stability of the covenant, it is better not to tell her.

"Do you guess me?"

Xia Mi's face darkened and he clenched his fists.

It's just other secrets, each of the three nurses in the group is a beautiful girl, Su Mo actually has some little secrets with them, and he has to care.

"Ahem! Aren't you going to rest, why are you waiting for me here? Could it be that you're finally going to attack me? ”

Su Mo immediately changed the subject.

"Phew! Think beautifully! ”

The girl gave him an angry look and strode forward.

"Just dropping by!"

Actually, it's just getting used to it.

In the box, watching the figures of several people gradually disappear from view, Lu Mingze smiled silently.

Although he was not completely unaware, it was not until Su Mo reminded him that he noticed this side of the psychology of the nurse group, and he didn't expect that he would be guarded by someone other than his brother.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Lu Mingze said softly.

As he spoke, his figure dissipated like ink marks, as if he had never appeared before.

Choosing Su Mo as an ally may indeed be a pretty good choice.

He couldn't help but think so.

·

At six o'clock in the evening, Lu Mingze regretted it.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Lu Mingze began to regret and reflect.

Before, why did you think that choosing the two of you as allies and thinking that it was a good thing?

Could it be that he was lowered at that time?

In front of Lu Mingze, in the box of the Regent Hotel, Su Mo and Xia Mi, who had rested, sat lazily at the dining table.

"Mom Zero, I'm going to eat this!"

Natsumi raised her hand and pointed to the scallops in front of her and said.

"Mother Zero, don't dip it in soy sauce this time, try wasabi!"

Su Mo commanded Sanwu Lori to help him prepare the sashimi.

"Mother Zero, by the way, help me get one!"

Xia Mi opened her mouth again to add an order.

Under the command of the two, Zero was busy.

At first, Xia Mi didn't know why Su Mo wanted to call Mother Zero, and then, under Su Mo's personal demonstration, she finally felt the benefits of the three no loli.

Although this kid is a little reckless when fighting, she is really caring in daily life!

You don't need to do it yourself if you find it difficult to get the ingredients, you just need to shout "Zero Mom", and you can quickly get it for you and put it on the plate.

It's simply the gospel of lazy people, and it's an angelic Lori mother!

Therefore, under Su Mo's infection, Xia Mi soon fell.

When eating, you don't have to use your hands at all, and you are almost fed into your mouth.

Su Mo is okay, only occasionally let Zero help, and Xia Mi has already treated her as an almighty maid.

Faced with this situation, Zero should have resisted, she was not some kind of maid who was driven by others.

However, whenever this happens, there will be a meaningful threat from the two of them.

"Renata, you don't want to be exposed, do you......"

"Sanwu Lori, you don't want to be known by the boss, you can't even entertain allies......"

With a two-pronged approach, Sanwu Lori had a rare mood swing and glared at the two of them angrily.

It's a pity that the anger like a kitten has no deterrent effect after all.

So, she became a tool man.

Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter was called like this, Su Enxi, who couldn't stand it, tried to speak up.

Then, Natsumi glanced at her lightly.

"Rich woman No. 2, where's my mission reward?"

She hadn't forgotten the 10 million.

Then, Su Enxi was also sunk.

Seeing that his team of nurses was eaten to death by the two in front of him, only Jiude Mai tried to pretend to be transparent and could protect himself, Lu Mingze couldn't help but sigh.

How can I kick these two guys, wait online, hurry!

Fortunately, Su Mo and Xia Mi still have a little conscience.

After being bullied for a while, I still let Zero sit down and eat well.

Of course, it is also possible that they are almost full and have enough food on the plate in front of them.

After being confused by the two.

After the meal, Mr. Lu Mingze's alchemy class finally opened.

Facing the two people in front of him, Lu Mingze was no longer as polite as he was at the beginning.

"How much do you know about alchemy?"

He looked at Su Mo.

Although Su Mo and Xia Mi listened together, the course itself was still dominated by Su Mo, so it was necessary to take into account his current level of narration.

Xia Mi naturally knew this, so she obediently shut up and listened.

"The basics know."

Su Mo thought for a few seconds before speaking.

"In the dragon cosmology, the world is composed of five elements, the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire construct matter, and the supreme spiritual element regulates the operation of the whole world."

"And the theory of alchemy is also based on the results of this cosmology, and alchemists want to reach a higher realm through the manipulation of the elements."

In general, the dragon's cosmology is similar to the four-element theory combined with Plato's theory of rationality, similar to Aristotle's view.

The jade record, which is mentioned many times in the original book, is not problematic as a program for alchemy.

The sun is the father, the sun is the mother, conceived from the wind, and maintained from the earth.

Alchemists build cycles of four different elements in order to achieve divine miracles.

"Well, theoretically, nothing wrong."

Lu Mingze nodded, and then asked.

"What about the practical steps?"

What Su Mo said earlier is only the theoretical support of alchemy, and only knowing these is not enough to support practice.

Just as someone who studies aerodynamics may not be able to build an airplane, there is a huge gap between theory and practice.

"In terms of practical steps, I don't know much about them."

Su Mo shook his head and said very frankly.

"Before, I only heard Xia Mi roughly introduce the four steps of alchemy—black earth, chalk, gold, and red form—but I didn't know the specific information."

Because of the poor performance of the King of Bronze and Fire, he didn't focus on alchemy before, so Xia Mi only talked about a rough idea.

At this moment, after hearing Su Mo say this, Lu Mingze nodded, probably estimating his progress.

"Then we'll start here."

"Black soil, which means the original material, such as iron ore that can be seen everywhere, or any object to be treated, in the face of this material, the first step we need to carry out is purification and separation, through humus, decomposition, burning and other methods to purify it, the purified crystallization is chalk, which is the pure product after pretreatment."

He spoke in very simple language about the basics of alchemy.

"After reaching the chalk stage, the pure products after pretreatment are combined in a special way or formula to create the compound products we need, and the resulting alchemical product is gold."

After listening to Lu Mingze's introduction, Su Mo was slightly surprised.

"Isn't the decomposition of the black soil state to obtain chalk, and the combination of the chalk state to obtain gold?"

So, the principle in the anime is also true? Is it really a proven theory?

"So to speak."

Lu Mingze nodded.

"The essence of alchemy is not unusual, in fact, it is similar to the methods of human laboratories, otherwise there would not be so many alchemists born among humans."

It is not so much that alchemical experiments are like chemical experiments, but that modern chemical experiments are born out of alchemical experiments.

"What about Chi Cheng?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

Among the four steps of black soil, chalk, gold, and red form, Lu Mingze only mentioned three steps, and the golden step has already arrived at the finished product, so what is the last one for?

"Chicheng is not a step in alchemy, but the ultimate dream of alchemists, the ultimate in alchemy, the finished product of the gods they dream of."

Lu Mingze spread his hands and explained.

"Every alchemy master will have a goal that he wants to refine, for humans, this goal may be the Philosopher's Stone, for dragons, it may be to kill the Black King, everyone is different, and it has no practical meaning."

"I see."

Su Mo nodded, understanding this.

Miss Xia Mi on the side also nodded suddenly, she is not an alchemy master, and it can even be said that half of her background is in the wild, and it is the first time she has heard this statement.

Seeing that the two of them understood, Lu Mingze continued.

"These steps are complex, but they don't require much theory in practice."

"For us dragons, alchemy is actually a fairly simple thing, in a word, it is to 'kill' matter, and then 'regenerate' it, thus giving it new powers."

"The so-called 'killing' of the substance is actually to remove impurities and make the substance pure, and our common method is to use flame burning, and only the purest flame can get the purest substance."

"Burning with fire, nurturing with wind, crystallizing with soil, and reborn with water to build a complete elemental cycle, the alchemy realm is completed."

As a master of alchemy, Lu Mingze's explanation was simple and simple, and his goal from the beginning was set in the field of alchemy.

For human alchemists, the alchemy field, which can even subvert textbooks, has become an object for beginners to face here in Lu Mingze.

Ordinary alchemy swords, or the weapons that Xia Mi built with the scythe of death, Lu Mingze didn't care about it at all.

In his eyes, only the alchemy weapons of the incidental realm are qualified to be called finished products.

"Among the seven kingdoms of alchemy, the most commonly used by me is conceptual armament, if you want to go deeper in alchemy, I think you can learn from here."

Lu Mingze said so, obviously having carefully planned Su Mo's learning path.

The achievements of the Seven Kingdoms, which even Xia Mi had not reached, directly became one of the topics that Su Mo had to master.

"Conceptual armament...... This one is really strong! ”

Su Mo nodded, and immediately remembered the performance of Naruto Naruto in the original book.

The two artifacts that Jiude Mai pulled out before, Tianyu Feather Slash and Budu Imperial Soul are both products of conceptual armament.

In addition, at the end of Dragon Four, when fighting Odin, Lu Mingze made up the Weaving Heaven Covering Sevenfold Ring and the AT Absolute Realm are also the creations of conceptual weapons.

These powers are no weaker than words.
