In the past, Stellagosa's understanding of alchemy was relatively one-sided, and she thought that alchemy was used to refine various potions.

Her understanding is not miscalculated, but it is really not comprehensive.

It is true that various potions with different effects are one of the signatures of alchemy, but they are only one of them.

Melia used to proudly keep a sentence on her lips.

"Alchemy is one of the keys to unlocking the mysteries of the world, and theoretically, with enough resources, alchemy can create everything, even ...... Person. ”

If the intelligent arcane puppet is also counted as a human, then Melia's blowing B is really a realization.

But this is clearly not Melia's ultimate goal.

The preface to the first page of this introductory book, written by Melia herself, goes straight to the point about the essence of alchemy - equivalent exchange.

No matter how alchemy transforms the form of matter, it must follow the principle of equivalent exchange.

It is not possible to conjure 2 units of resources from 1 unit of resources, but may decay due to the conversion process.

Nothing can be conjured out of thin air.

For example, if Melia transforms a flower with her bare hands, she must have borrowed some substances from her surroundings, whether it is air or various free elements contained in the atmosphere.

Flipping through the records on the shelves, the more Sarean and Stellagosa looked, the more frightened they became.

Melia has been able to use magically infused clay for alchemical transformation, shaping them into living flesh.

But it didn't really make sense, because the flesh and blood she created lacked the most important thing to be human.

Soul.

That's why Melia has been working on the arcane golem core for the last few years, and she wants to replace human souls with the artificial intelligence programs she has written.

Judging by the scribbled notes in the book that clearly reveal the owner's irritability, the experiment did not go well.

Programs are always just programs, and the soul of a real person perceives greatly.

Although Melia is a research maniac, she has her own bottom line and will not catch live people for live experiments.

She chose many small animals to replace the living, and it turned out that all animals in the world have souls, but they differ in their intelligence from each other.

"This ......"

Stella Gossa tugged at the corners of her mouth in horror: "If you really let her research produce results......

Salian shook his head: "It's not that easy. ”

"The body is easy to make, but the soul is hard to find."

"Even the Titans can't guarantee that they know the nature of the soul well, how can mortals easily unravel the mysteries."

"This seems to be just a bottleneck at the doorstep, and it is likely to be stuck until the day when Melia's life comes to an end."

What is the nature of the soul?

No one knows, but many people want to get the answer.

The fundamental reason why Orfa the Great Thorn Whisperer is involved in the power of death, which is despised by the world, is also to solve this ultimate problem that has plagued the entire universe for countless years.

'Wait a minute......'

Thinking of the power of the Thorn Whisperer's dual image of life and death, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Sarean's mind.

'Equivalent exchange, life and death transformation...... If I delve into alchemy, will I be able to decipher the mysteries of life and death? ’

Old Bear Orfa is more pragmatic, he does not directly study the mystery of the essence of the soul, but wants to solve the problem of life and death first.

Why do the limits of natural lifespan vary so much between different races? Why do mortals have a lifespan limit? Why is the length of life inversely proportional to fertility?

These are the secrets that Orfa and Salian want to uncover.

After reaching the 49th level cap and not being able to make any progress for a short time, Saljan threw all of his recent experience to the Druid class.

He had a vague hunch that perhaps the class template of the Thorntalker would be officially revealed when the druid's level broke through level 30 and became an elite.

"Found it!"

A dusty Melia finally looked up from the stack of books, holding an old parchment scroll with a mottled skin in her hand.

"Huh?"

Seeing the alchemy books that Salam had placed on the desk, Melia immediately jumped out of the stack with her eyes shining.

"Oooo My dear little Sarren, are you finally interested in alchemy! ”

"Uh~"

Shaken by Melia's excited hand, Sarren's face twitched slightly.

"Don't get so excited, just pass the ......"

"Don't say anything!"

Fearing that Salaan would regret it, Melia quickly dug down a large pile of books from the shelves.

Together, these alchemy books from shallow to deep can really be regarded as from beginner to earth.

"Come on! You can take these books and study them when you have time. ”

"That's right."

Melia suddenly remembered something, and ran into the warehouse next to her, rummaging for a while.

"Here, take."

Salaan reached out and grabbed the cloth bag that Melia had thrown over, and the fabric was so soft that she knew it was high-end at first glance.

"It's ...... Space Wrap? ”

"Hmm!"

Meliya proudly crossed her hands on her hips: "This is the high-grade space wrapped by Xiao Mi from the demonic rune cloth I transformed last month. ”

"You're still using the junk Julian gave you, right? It's long overdue, use this! ”

The space package is also of high quality.

As Melia said, Julian's space package to Salian was not a high-end item, and it could be bought as long as he had the money.

Saljan knew who Melia's "little mi" was, her original name was Miria Young, and she was the premier master tailor of Quel'Salas and the entire Eastern Kingdom.

“…… In order to abduct me to learn alchemy, you are really willing to pay your blood. ”

Melia waved her hand disappreciatively: "You can't say that, make the best use of things." ”

"This thing can only eat ashes when I put it here, just to pack a little more stuff for you."

Salian shook his head and smiled, and in front of Melia, he transferred all the contents of the old space package to the demonized rune cloth bag.

"Okay, I'll take it, I'll study alchemy carefully when I have time."

"Eun~"

Melia happily gave a thumbs up: "I believe that you will be able to comprehend what is useful to you from the profound alchemy...... Here, that's what you want to teleport. ”

Melia spread the parchment roll on the table, "Since the structure of the magic web in the Crystal Song Forest is too chaotic to record spatial coordinates, the transit point I chose is located in Grizzly Bear Hill. ”

Even after thousands of years, the Crystal Song Forest is still filled with a large amount of twisted and dangerous arcane energy, and it is pure death to open the portal there.

Zudak is the lair of the frost trolls, and Melia is not stupid enough to keep track of the coordinates there.

Originally, Melia planned to cross the Icecrown glacier and continue her exploration in the Solazar Basin, the Titan Laboratory in western Northrend.

However, due to a change in plans, she returned to Quel'Thalas before she could complete her exploration.

Melia's recommended spatial coordinates are located in the Rock Springs in the western part of Grizzly Hills, close to the Dragonbone Wilderness.

"Grizzly Hills is a relatively safe area of the Northrend continent, inhabited by many mild-tempered, peace-loving bears, as well as a small number of Dakale frost trolls who have come from Zudak in the north to try to invade the bears' territory."

Disgust with trolls is an instinct carved into the DNA of the High Elves, and when it comes to the Dhakale trolls, Melia looks disgusted and has no affection for them.

"The trolls of the world are ghosts, savage, primitive, self-righteous, clinging to the glory of the past and unwilling to face reality."

Melia tapped her fingers heavily on the Zudak area a few times.

"If you don't have to do it, don't enter this area and let those blue-skinned fanged monsters fend for themselves."

Sarjan shrugged: "I don't have time to talk to the trolls, this trip should come and go in a hurry, next time I have a chance to patiently talk to them." ”

With the endless magic of the Sunwell, Melia easily opens the portal to Grizzly Hills.

"Wear more clothes, the climate in Northrend is not as good as the Yongge Forest with all year rounds, don't catch yourself a cold!"

Salaen stepped through the portal and waved his hand with his back to Melia.

"See, this isn't my first day outing."

"You also pay attention to rest, don't pounce on the test bench all day long, remember to combine work and rest."

The portal closed, and Sarjan, who was still playing handsome just now, suddenly shrank into a ball, and hurriedly took out his clothes from the magic rune bag he had just acquired.

"Shhh Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, this is too cold! ”
