Chapter 94: Alchemy

Having asked for enough information, David signaled that he didn't have anything to ask for the time being, and immediately saw Newton looking over and over with his hammer of judgment in his hand.

Originally, he didn't want to ask anything, but after seeing Newton's style, David still couldn't hold back: "Just look at it like this?" ”

"That's the most basic observation." Newton looked up and down several times, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and the surprise on his face was not concealed: "The material used for this hammer seems to have only been treated simply, and no other minerals have been mixed. ”

The more Newton looked, the more surprised he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to figure out what kind of mineral it was: "It seems to contain a lot of energy, this energy exudes a divine aura, is it natural?" ”

After pondering for a while, Newton began to rub the handle of the hammer again: "Or is it the special metal in the handle that causes this phenomenon?" ”

David knew the answer, but he didn't say a word, just looked at Newton, he was curious about what magic methods alchemists have?

He didn't wait long, and soon noticed a faint golden light emanating from Newton's eyes, lowered his head and kept looking at the hammer of judgment in his hand, and muttered from time to time: "Oh~ That's it!" Hey? What kind of material is this? ”

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Newton was excited, and the excited Newton put away the light in his eyes, and then looked up and asked David: "I may have to use some special means, don't you mind?" ”

"What kind of special means?"

"It's a spell in alchemy, rest assured, it's just for analysis and recording, and it won't cause any damage to your weapon." When Newton talked about alchemy-related things, his whole body became much more confident, and even his back was straighter: "Even if it is really damaged, I can repair it immediately and give you a better quality handle." ”

"If only it wouldn't break." David stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, he was really curious about what kind of ability the alchemy of this world was? As for the hammer, the craftsmanship of this hammer is not very exquisite, and the real difficulty for the people of this world is that they cannot obtain the two key materials of crystal ore and light cast iron.

Newton, who had obtained permission, was overjoyed, and the whole person became very energetic. Although he is not three feet tall, the state of excitement can be seen by everyone.

Holding the hammer of judgment on the palm of his left hand, and the other hand was open to make a gesture of virtual grip, he didn't see the old alchemist chanting any incantation, let alone any special precursor steps, just a flash of golden light, and the hammer of judgment was wrapped in a golden ball of light.

The golden orb of light hovered between Newton's hands, and after enveloping the hammer of judgment in it, there was an additional halo around the orb.

This golden orb with a halo looks a bit like Saturn, but the halo around the ball is densely covered with various mysterious runes.

David glanced at it several times, but didn't understand any of them, he just felt that these runes were very beautiful, and they set off Newton's spell in a very high-end atmosphere.

"These runes symbolize the alchemist's understanding and perception of various alchemy techniques, and each alchemist's alchemy array, alchemy framework, and alchemy runes are very different."

I don't know if it was the reason why David happily agreed to let him study the hammer of judgment, or if the old alchemist was addicted to being a teacher, seeing that David and Sharon were paying attention to the alchemy array in their hands, he directly opened his mouth to explain.

This opening is terrible, the alchemy array in his hand is still analyzing and recording various details of the hammer of judgment, the old alchemist may have found it boring to wait, so he talked endlessly.

I don't know if I noticed the bewildered expressions on the faces of the two people, so Newton turned around and started talking about the most basic things, as if he wanted to give the two people in front of him an authentic alchemist introductory lesson.

David didn't say anything, he was indeed very curious about this so-called alchemy, anyway, he was idle, so he listened to it.

Sharon was also silent, although she didn't know what this alchemist could do besides alchemy and research various rare minerals, but it didn't prevent her from learning more mysterious knowledge.

Matter conversion should be the core of alchemy, but it is not so easy to do this, according to the old alchemist Pierre Newton, only a very small number of people who stand at the top of alchemy can truly convert any matter at will.

It requires not only a great deal of energy but also a good understanding of matter. And to this extent, you can change anything at will and turn it into what you want to become.

But this involves a forbidden area, which is currently a minefield that all alchemists are not allowed to touch: the living!

"Because it's immoral?"

Sharon couldn't hold back after all, but still asked.

"No, it's just too dangerous!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

This living body refers not only to people, but also to ordinary animals, and even plants are not low, which is an important reason why most alchemists mainly study minerals.

After talking about some of the taboos, Newton began to explain how alchemists use energy.

"What? I didn't say what kind of energy it was? Oh, sorry, I skipped a paragraph. Newton turned back to the two of them to introduce the energy used by alchemists to perform alchemy: "It's mainly arcane energy, but it's difficult to absorb arcane energy, and there is a lot of trouble when using it later, so alchemists will 'refine' the absorbed arcane energy and convert it into more 'safe' energy before using it." ”

"Of course, theoretically, in addition to arcane energy, other energies can also be used, even without 'alchemy' transformation, alchemy can also be used, as long as you have strong enough control over this energy."

Balabala went on and on, and the addicted Newton soon got to the real introductory part of alchemy.

Once you've got energy that you can use to expend, you know the dangers and taboos, and you know what alchemy is, it's time to try your hand at getting started.

"First of all, build a frame with your own energy." The alchemy array is composed of alchemy frames and alchemy runes, of which the frame is the most basic framework.

"What kind of frame?"

"It doesn't matter, you can just fit things in."

Newton, who was talking happily, was a little upset that David interrupted himself continuously, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw a quartet of golden energy appear between David's hands.

"Huh? You have a talent for alchemy! Newton's face was full of surprise, similar to when he suddenly saw the material he was interested in: "No, no, you have to maintain the stability of the whole frame structure, this quad is unstable at first glance, it is too easy to collapse." ”

"No, I'm not talking about the unstable appearance of the quadrangular shape, and it doesn't make any sense for you to change to a triangular shape. I'm referring to the uneven distribution of energy in it...... Yes, yes, that's it! ”

"Alchemy runes need to be arranged on the frame, and if you want to arrange enough runes on the frame in the early stage, the easiest way is to increase the surface ...... Forehead...... This hexahedron is enough for the time being. ”

After talking all night in one breath, even the analysis and recording spells in his hands had been completed, but he couldn't make the old alchemist stop.

Putting the hammer of judgment aside, he continued to instruct David to build his own alchemy frame, and then taught him how to construct alchemy runes and how to complete his alchemy array.

After teaching the theoretical knowledge, Newton breathed a sigh of satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I've taught it so cool!" ”

Looking around, I saw that the sun had already risen into the sky.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Looking down at the hammer of judgment in front of him, and quietly glancing at the cup next to the fire, Newton sighed helplessly: "I originally wanted to analyze it after the analysis and recording." ”

"Don't worry, there's still a month to go anyway!"

"That's right." Newton regained his spirits, stood up and moved his body: "I taught you alchemy all night, and it can be regarded as a good breath for me." ”

"Gas?"

"That's right, I see who's questioning my teaching ability in the future!" The old alchemist seemed to remember something particularly angry, and the originally stable energy in his body suddenly exploded a little, blowing his beard up.

"I see." David wanted to agree with that assessment, and when he listened to the lecture last night, he found that Newton often jumped around when he was talking, basically thinking of what to say, and the old man was very unhappy that he was being interrupted.

If it weren't for the fact that David was essentially the 'employer' of the old alchemist, and after David's question, David would be able to understand immediately after the old man taught him, and I am afraid he would not have given him a good look.

"Am I learning alchemy?"

When Newton heard this, he immediately changed his expression of disdain: "Where is this?" At most, you've just opened the door to alchemy, and you haven't even stepped into it yet! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"To get started, you need to spend some time in a blacksmith to learn and understand how matter changes its form and how it merges with other substances." By the way, Newton also told Davy how he was going to cultivate next: "And construct your own alchemy runes." ”

According to Newton, with David's talent, if he is willing to work hard in the blacksmith shop for a year, construct basic alchemy runes, and then combine them with the alchemy frame to complete his own alchemy array, then he can be considered a real beginner.

"At that time, you will be able to use alchemy to change the appearance of metal objects as you like, just like me."

Newton knew that in order for people to study hard, they had to give people a goal to achieve, so he showed the effect of entry-level alchemyβ€”taking a piece of metal from his waist, and as the alchemy circle appeared and disappeared, the metal block had turned into a sharp dagger.
