"Yes, it's pearls. ”
Dalglish sighed.
Chen Daolin thought about it carefully, frowned, and said, "Is it really a pearl??"
Don't forget, Chen Daolin has inherited all of Madame Stone's magical knowledge.
Lady Stone is a magical alchemist who has a deep understanding of magic potions and various magical materials! Especially in potions, Lady Stone can be regarded as a first-class figure in the world.
Chen Daolin thought about it carefully, and then he shook his head and frowned: "This kind of speculation...... It seems unlikely. ”
Looking at Dalglish's somewhat puzzled expression, Chen Daolin smiled faintly and said slowly: "It's not surprising that you said that the magician who left the note could think of something like a pearl, although that magician doesn't know who it is, but if he can think of this, he should also be a senior who has a deep knowledge of potions." In fact, this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is quite similar to the magic core of Warcraft. After the research of the ancestors, the magic core of the Warcraft was originally a special substance secreted by the Warcraft, and it slowly solidified over time and finally condensed into a nucleus, just like a gem. And the pearl is similar, shellfish, a thing in the ocean, will also secrete a special substance, slowly condensed and finally become a pearl, speaking of which, the magic core and pearl really have something in common, and the senior magician should have used a lot of brains when he thought of this. ”
"You ......" Dalglish was really shocked at this moment, he stared at Chen Daolin with wide eyes, trembled for a moment, and said tentatively: "You...... Your Excellency, is it? Are you proficient in magic, too?"
"Proficient dare not say. Chen Daolin deliberately made a somewhat reserved smile and said lightly: "But when it comes to potions, I still know a little. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out a palm and turned it over gently, his five fingers opened, and he quickly recited a spell in his mouth, and a flame suddenly burst out of his palm.
Dalglish's eyes widened suddenly, he knelt on the ground and paused, and his tone was panicked: "Your Excellency. I didn't expect you to be a magician, it's me...... It's me who was too ......."
Dalglish was really in a cold sweat, he really didn't expect that the adult in front of him was actually a real magician - this is not like himself, at most he is a supernumerary magic enthusiast. They are real mages.
And what makes Dalglish even more fortunate is that he didn't deliberately make up nonsense just now. Otherwise. Regarding matters in the field of magic, it is enough to deceive outsiders, but if you dare to make up lies in the field of magic in front of a magician, it will be exposed in the blink of an eye. If you just tell a lie and deceive others, I'm afraid you will be very unlucky at this time.
"You're pretty honest, you didn't make up nonsense to lie to me. Chen Daolin nodded, looking a little satisfied. He continued to ask, "What did you say about the pearl after that?"
Dalglish let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile, "In the note I saw, the magician also explained. Although he began to take a fancy to such things as pearls, after experimentation, he found that the effect was not satisfactory. ”
"Well, that's right. Chen Daolin smiled.
In fact. The idea of using pearls instead of magic gemstones. Coincidentally, Lady Stone also used to have. As a highly accomplished alchemist, it is almost a vocation to study all kinds of magical materials.
Lady Stone's magical knowledge memory also includes research on pearls as a material.
At one time, Mrs. Stone also paid attention to pearls, but after experimenting, the results were disappointing.
Although the structure of pearls is similar to that of magic cores, they are a special substance secreted by living beings, but how can shellfish be compared to demonic beasts?
Although pearls and gemstones and crystals are relatively expensive ornaments, they are actually used in the field of magic, which is far from enough.
To compare it to ordinary magic crystals - magic crystals are now commonly used by magicians in the Roland Continent, because magic crystals are cheaper than all kinds of gems and are relatively easy to collect. Although it is not as good as those precious gems in terms of magic sensitivity and magic addition, it is the best value for money.
Therefore, the magic crystal is currently the most used material by the magicians in the Roland Continent.
And the pearls...... After the results of the experiment, it is a pity that pearls are such things, probably because they are considered aquatic products, so pearls have a relatively good affinity for the magic elements of the water system - barely half of the effect of ordinary magic crystals.
Then, in addition to the magic elements of the water system, the magic of other systems, the sensitivity of magic and the affinity of magic elements have been greatly reduced, even if it is a high-grade pearl, in terms of magic sensitivity and affinity of magic elements, it can only reach two or three percent of the effect of ordinary magic crystals.
This is already an effect that can only be achieved by fine pearls, let alone ordinary pearls.
The price of the fine pearl itself is no cheaper than the magic crystal, but the effect is only two or three percent of the magic crystal. Therefore, if you want to use this kind of thing to replace magic crystals or even various magic gems, it is absolutely impossible.
Chen Daolin smiled: "All along, magicians have been trying to find new magic materials, and every generation has been working hard, but most of the various ideas are just whimsical speculations. So, the owner of the note you saw must have just made a failed attempt. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin frowned and said, "But you solemnly told me about this note, what else is important about this note?"
Dalglish's expression was stern, he took a deep breath, his eyes fluctuated a little, and his eyes were actually a little excited.
"Your Excellency. He lowered his voice, "That note, although the magician also discovered after the test that pearls could not replace magic crystals, but ...... In the process of research, he inadvertently made an additional discovery, which ...... It's an unexpected receipt. ”
"Unexpected receipt?"
"Yes. Dalglish smiled bitterly, "In the course of the experiment, the magician discovered a ...... The method of cultivating pearls! The pearls that he cultivated in that way, regardless of the volume and form. And the quality, color, etc., are far better than the naturally collected pearls! More importantly, ...... If his account is correct, this method of cultivating pearls, once used, can greatly increase the production of pearls, which ...... It's an immeasurable amount of wealth!"
The art of raising pearls?
Chen Daolin finally understood.
......
Before going to sea, Chen Daolin already knew a lot about the pearl industry of the Roland Empire from Rodelle.
So far, the pearl industry of the Roland Empire has only stayed in the relatively primitive and backward fishing and pearl processing. That is, most of them are: relying on the weather to eat.
Pearls are such a thing. Shellfish are produced in the sea, and the pearl industry here in the East China Sea is only a large chamber of commerce that organizes a large fleet of ships, and then monopolizes a certain area of pearl-producing waters, and then regularly fishes them on a large scale. It is then brought back to the workshop for cleaning, processing, and so on.
The phenomenon of cultured pearls has not yet appeared on a large scale.
Cultured pearls are now only found in a few small chambers of commerce - some people also catch some shellfish and then set aside a place on the shallow beach at sea, raise the shellfish in the seawater, and when the harvest is time, they will go to the pearl diving.
This saves a lot of trouble and danger.
After all, real pearls come from deep-sea shellfish. With the technology of our time, deep and shallow water is a dangerous industry. Deep-sea shellfish harvesting for pearls is also a risky and difficult task.
Keeping shellfish in shallow water naturally saves a lot of effort.
But this approach did not work very well. The people of the Roland Continent discovered. The quality of these pearls grown in shallow water shells is generally very low, which is not satisfactory, and only produces some low-grade pearls.
This is the current state of the cultured pearl industry in Roland Continent.
And according to Dalglish. In the magic notes he saw, the magician who was experimenting had discovered a way to truly culture pearls. This method is said to be very effective, and it is said that it can be cultivated in artificially to produce large and fine pearls! and it is said that it is not very difficult to operate......
For the world of Roland, this is a huge discovery!
At present, in the Roland Empire, things like pearls, especially high-quality pearls, are in high demand and expensive. If there is a way to grow large and good pearls quickly and easily, then it can be expected that immeasurable wealth can be obtained in the blink of an eye!
"I understand, you, a scholar from the imperial capital, discovered the technique of raising pearls in that magic note, so you ran to the East China Sea, wanting to make a fortune from this?"
Looking at Chen Daolin's smile, Dalglish's face was a little red, and he was also very nervous, he smiled bitterly: "I admit that I do have this thought. It's just that although I have seen the pearl cultivation technique, I am not sure whether it is effective, so I always have to go to the sea to see the current pearl farming industry with my own eyes, and it is best to try it with my own hands if I have the opportunity to see how effective that method is. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and sighed: "My lord, maybe you will look down on me. But I've been working in the Magical Society for so many years, and I don't know how much information there is stored in the Magical Society. Those magicians who study magic, it can be said that each of them is a genius far superior to ordinary people, their wisdom, their ingenuity, their many wonderful ideas, people can not help but applaud every time they read it! It is a pity that most of those precious materials and documents are stored in the collection of the Magical Society. Moreover, even the magicians who had access to the materials were mostly only interested in magical things, and the rest were not interested. ”
"Oh?"
"Yes. Dalglish said: "For example, the magic note I saw recorded the art of raising pearls, which has been stored in the collection of the Magic Society for I don't know how many years, but the magicians who have seen it are only interested in the question of whether it is feasible to replace magic crystals with pearls, and no one cares about the art of raising pearls." Even...... Even the magician himself who wrote that note didn't think it was a great discovery, but made some notes at random and didn't pay attention to it. Magicians just want to study magic, so they don't care what kind of great thing it is to be able to cultivate pearls, even if it can make money? Magicians don't care at all! If I hadn't stumbled upon this thing, I don't know how long this pearl cultivation technique would have been buried! In this case, wouldn't it be better for me to use it to make a fortune, and at the same time to make such a great and important discovery of this pearl cultivation art come to light?"
Chen Daolin's heart moved.
He didn't look down on the Dalglish in front of him. This guy can pick out this note that contains the art of raising pearls among the so many magic materials in the Magic Society, which is enough to show that he is a person with a heart, and he is also a guy with wisdom and vision!
As for wanting to use this method to make a fortune, it is also human nature, and there is nothing to blame.
It's just that this guy's luck is a little unlucky.
He rushed to the East China Sea, wanting to quietly go to the overseas pearl production area to investigate, and then test whether the method of raising pearls is feasible.
Unexpectedly, he stepped on the one-eyed guy's black boat, and as a result, all the people who accompanied him were slaughtered as fat sheep.
"The leader of the pirate thieves had personally interrogated me at the time. In order to survive, I could only tell him my true identity, and at that time, my life was on the line, I was a small scholar, and I had no money, and pirates would never let me live. In desperation, I had no choice but to tempt them with profits, and I sued the pirate chief, I was a scholar of the imperial capital, and I had developed a new method of cultured pearls that would increase the production of pearls. That's what I'm here to do. ”
Chen Daolin nodded: "That...... The one-eyed pirate, who believed you?"
He was unbelieving at first. Dalglish smiled wryly, "But I proved that I am indeed a scholar." The pirate leader was fierce, but he still had some respect for my knowledge. Probably in his mind, it should be possible for a knowledgeable scholar to create that kind of strange technology. So, I left my life alive, and when I got back to shore, he would let me teach him how to culture pearls, or show him how to do it myself. I...... In fact, I also know in my heart that even if I will spare my life for a while, once I get off the boat and return to the shore, when I teach him how to cultivate pearls, he will never leave me alive!"
