[[[CP|W:250|H:190|A:L]]] Alice waited in front of Caesar's manor teleportation array, and it didn't take long for Caesar's butler Wiland to invite Wright.

"Your Highness Princess, do you have anything to do with me?" asked Wright.

Alice said: "Of course I am looking for you about alchemy, today is the first day of the preliminary round, I believe you have also seen the topic of the preliminary round." ”

"Well, refining a demon-resistant cloak is not a difficult task. Wright said.

Alice said: "That's great, then you can teach me how to do it, I also want to learn how to alchemy." ”

Wright said, "Yes, but ......"

"But what?" asked Alice.

Wright said, "The princess wants to experience the joy of alchemy?"

"Yes. Alice nodded excitedly.

Wright said, "Then don't refine in Lord Caesar's alchemy room. He has almost everything here, including the abundance of materials. If you want to experience the joy of alchemy, you have to start from the beginning, and that's how interesting it really is. ”

Alice's eyes lit up: "Okay, then what should I do?" The master said that alchemy needs to think about all the steps, including what materials to choose, but I have only read the book for a few days, and I don't understand any of this. ”

Wright thought for a moment and said, "Well, leave it to me to conceive the equipment, and the princess will start by choosing the materials." But we don't choose from the warehouse of Lord Caesar's house, it's more interesting to collect it ourselves. ”

"Uh-huh. Alice said, "Wait, I'll go and call the master to go with me." ”

When the three of them came to the street, Wright said, "To make an anti-demon cloak, the materials are mainly magic offsetting and magic interference. However, the effect of general magic offset materials is not very good, and the effect is relatively expensive, so most people will choose substances that can interfere with magic power. This type of material is relatively easy to find on the market, but there is a fatal flaw......"

"I know. Alice interjected, "That is, it will also interfere with the owner's magic work." ”

"Hmm. Wright nodded: "So what we're going to do is collect these materials and find a way to eliminate this negative trait." ”

Bingzhi said evilly: "Hearing you say this, do you already have a way?"

Wright said, "Yes. I have thought of a refining plan for Her Royal Highness the Princess, which should be feasible, and all I have to do now is to prepare the materials I need. ”

Alice was surprised: "Ah! My master said that if you want to refine a new item, sometimes it takes days, or even months, just to conceive. How did you figure it out so quickly......? Did you cheat and someone told you the topic of the preliminary round in advance?"

"No, no, no, of course not. Wright laughed: "I thought about it so quickly because I've been preparing for this since I've participated in this competition." Mr. Bingzhi is right, generally speaking, if you suddenly ask alchemy to make a new item, it does take a long time from the idea to the selection of materials to the completion of the production. However, people like me, who were born in the land of alchemy, are naturally more familiar with the techniques and methods of alchemy than others, and know more about them. And to make an anti-demon cloak, because its requirements are more comprehensive, it has a good effect of testing whether the alchemist is qualified, so this is listed as one of the test items of our here and even other local trade unions. ”

"Oh. Alice smiled apologetically, "I thought you relied on your identity to know the exam questions in advance." ”

Wright said: "I would never do this, this is the respect of being a professional alchemist." He added: "After the preliminary competition topic came out this morning, I thought of several different ways to make this cloak at home, so I have a rough refining outline in my heart, and I have also refined this aspect before, so this topic is not very difficult." On the way out just now, I had already figured out what to do. ”

"Wow, that's amazing. Alice exclaimed, "You still say it's not difficult, but when I listen to the question, many alchemists say it's too difficult." ”

Wright said, "It's not great. I just love alchemy since I was a child, and I devote myself to it every day, and when I compete, I naturally seem to be stronger than others. Because of this, my mother often said that I didn't socialize much with other people my age. ”

"Huh. Alice covered her mouth and smiled: "When you become a famous alchemist like Uncle Caesar in the future, the Duchess will not say anything." ”

Wright said: "So this time I must win the first place in the competition, only then can I go to the Holy Garden to study." ”

"Come on, I'm sure you'll make it. Alice said.

“xiexie。 ”

Alice said, "Then let's start preparing the materials, what do we need?"

Wright said a dozen things at once.

"Do you need so much to make a cape?" asked Alice.

"Yes. Wright said: "Alchemy is a very complicated process, and these things are not many in comparison. ”

"Okay, let's go buy it. Buy all these things one by one, and you will be alchemizing immediately. Alice couldn't wait to run towards the material market, and from time to time she turned around and urged: "Master, Wright, hurry up!"

While buying materials, Wright carefully explained to Alice the characteristics of various materials, the effects and negative effects, and the origin of the material. Through the purchase of materials, Alice also learned a lot of things, at least she didn't know before, some small and inconspicuous things can play several different effects in alchemy. Among the various professions of Shijie, alchemists can be said to be the group with the most knowledge and knowledge about the properties of the elements and natural substances.

After some purchases, Wright said that he only bought fourteen of the seventeen alchemy materials, and in this city, which is known as the hometown of alchemists, there are still a few simple materials that cannot be bought.

Alice said: "Could it be that there are really too many people participating in the competition, and even these materials have been sold out." ”

Bingzhi said evilly: "Such a big city, also known as the hometown of alchemy, how can these ordinary materials be sold out." I think it's not just the alchemists who participated, but also the citizens of the city who are buying it. ”

Wright nodded: "Yes." This is the case at every competition, and although many citizens in the city do not participate in the competition, they will try to refine the items required by the competition questions to see what kind of level they have reached. ”,

Alice counted, "Ancient wood fossils, luminous sand, and green bead snail shells, we still haven't bought these three materials." ”

"Luminous sand and green-beaded snail shells are fine, and I know there are a lot of abandoned sewers in the city that are infested with bats. Green bead snails can also be found in the grasslands in the suburbs. The difficulty is the fossil of ancient wood, which is not a rare material, but it is not so easy to obtain. Wright said: "If you use magic and special methods to make your own ancient wood fossil, you won't win in time." Master Caesar's warehouse should have stock, but if you go there and get it......"

Alice immediately said, "Don't take it." I think alchemy is meant to have fun, and if you rely on what you have now, you will lose the joy of doing it yourself. As you said before, I must find the materials and make this cloak myself. ”

"In this case, if you can't find an ancient wood fossil, you have to find a replacement material. Wright pondered.

Bing Zhiye thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Wright, you want the ancient wood fossil, do you want to use it to isolate the interference properties of other materials on the spellcaster's magic." ”

Wright said: "My Jihua is to make the cloak into two layers, the outer layer is used to isolate magic, and then the ancient wood fossil plus other materials are attached to the inner layer under the cloak to separate the outer layer, so that there will be no effect on the caster." Mr. Bingzhi, do you have any good ideas?"

Bing Zhiyi asked rhetorically: "Is there a kind of mushroom monster called Strange Straw Mushroom in the territory of Alante?"

"yes. Wright nodded.

"That's fine. Bingzhi said: "After drying the rhizome of the strange straw mushroom and the horn of the thunderhorn rhinoceros, they are powdered respectively, and then the fire element is used to melt these two things into gum at a temperature of 85 degrees and 210 degrees. At the same time, the blood of humans or ordinary creatures, combined with pure water and the juice of the drape, can extract a yellowish crystalline particle. Then this pellet is fused with the previous two gelatins, wrapped in the 110-degree fire element plus the water element, and boiled for fifteen minutes. Zuihou uses magic to control it, so that its temperature drops to about 60 degrees Celsius, and it is applied to the inside of the cloak, which can achieve the same effect as ancient wood fossils. ”

Alice said: "Wait, wait, master, you said slow down, it's too complicated, I didn't hear clearly, say it again." ”

Bing Zhixiao repeated it again.

"Is there a way to make alternative materials? I don't know. Wright carefully recalled the various material qualities that Bing Zhiyi had said: "Is it really possible?"

Alice was slightly angry and said, "My master said that if you can, you must be able to do it." Hmph, it seems that my master is more powerful, and he knows everything. ”

"It seems that I don't know enough about the properties of some materials. Wright smiled awkwardly, and admired the young wizard who didn't talk much.
