Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 105 The Science of Material Blending

Robert's spirit was a little unfocused, and he never spoke again along the way.

The atmosphere fell into depression as the two of them fell silent, just like the heat before the eruption.

With the sound of the carriage, the two finally returned to the villa.

Andu got out of the carriage first, watched Robert park the carriage, and led the horse to the makeshift stable.

"Stay safe. ”

Andu looked at the thief deeply, the communication between men is simple, often a look is enough to explain everything.

In the end, Robert did not offer any other help, and after glancing at Andu, he silently left the villa.

It must have been something that happened when he handed over work to O'Connor......

Looking at the back of the thief, his heart was a little complicated, even if he thought about it with his toes, he could guess that Robert was definitely not going to go out.

"Hopefully you'll come back alive. ”

As long as he can get it back, with the effect of his holy light technique, his life will definitely be saved.

The premise is to be able to come back alive.

With a depressed, irritable mood, and the surprised eyes of the servants along the way, Andu returned to his room.

Picking up the unfinished book of "The Legend of the Continent of Akmund", he forcibly suppressed his inner emotions and devoted all his attention to the world in the book.

At lunchtime, Pete put the fried steak on the table, and there was no communication in between.

The villa is so big, and the news that Andu has something on his mind quickly spread.

Pete also kindly made him a pot of tea, and ordered everyone not to go up and disturb him.

I don't know how long it has been, Andu looked up at the window, the sun was shining.

The sea breeze blows slowly, and on the blue sea where the weather is warmer, scattered seagulls soar indulgently.

On the tea shelf, a delicate silver kettle exudes a rich tea aroma, exuding curling white smoke.

Andu remembered that it had been chosen by Elizabeth, and that she had been boasting about it in front of her for days.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, the tea was a little bitter, but it was a different taste after a careful aftertaste.

He put down the book in his hand, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, the hour hand had turned to the position of three o'clock.

Taking two deep breaths, he thought about it and got up and left the room.

"Young Master?"

Abt looked at his young master who appeared in front of him in surprise, but he didn't know what to say.

I heard that the young master is not in a good mood, what should I say...... Abt quickly recalled the jokes George had told him, and thought about which one to say.

"Go and call Arnold, and I'll teach you the basics of drawing today. ”

Andu said casually, not showing any worries at all.

Abt was stunned for two seconds, then nodded heavily and trotted out.

"Arnold! Arnold!!"

Looking a little excited and nervous, he trotted out Abt, and Andu walked straight to the drawing room.

It didn't take long for Abt to find Arnold, and the two looked at Andu, who was standing in front of the drawing table, with excited eyes.

However, the two in their teens have not yet learned how to control their emotions, and it can be seen from their slightly trembling body movements that their hearts are in turmoil.

"Let's calm down for a while, drawing is a very detail-oriented science. ”

Andu looked at the expressions of the two of them, and suddenly said seriously: "Whether it is excitement or nervousness, it will affect the result of the drawing." ”

"So, today you have to learn not only the basics of blending, but also how to control your emotions. ”

Two children, you look at me, I look at yours, and then I realize that my emotional ups and downs are too strong.

Andu took out his notebook and pen, spread it out and said to the two: "Learn to draw this, and when you are qualified, we will start again." ”

On the spread out paper, a big "quiet" jumped on it.

The two looked at this complex "symbol" and were a little unfamiliar for a while.

Although they are illiterate, it does not mean that they cannot distinguish between words and symbols.

This "symbol" on the paper is obviously not the script of the Akmund continent, even if the two of them don't know many words.

"Let's get started. ”

Andu reminded calmly.

The two looked at each other, picked up the pen and began to copy this strange "symbol".

In the beginning, due to unfamiliarity and the complexity of the strokes, the two often made mistakes.

However, as I gradually integrated into it, the speed of copying became faster, and in the end, I was able to write this "symbol" silently.

Andu just watched the two of them practice writing, and they didn't speak, and this writing was more than an hour.

It wasn't until the two of them were subconsciously lifting the pen, putting down the pen, and writing that he spoke again.

"Alright, we can get started. ”

Abt didn't react at first, but it wasn't until Arnold on the side had packed up his pen and paper and nudged his shoulder that he finally realized what Andu had just said.

"Drawing can be divided into three steps. ”

"The first is to organize the materials, which is roughly divided into two points, one is to clean up, and the other is to blend.

The second is drawing, where various materials are engraved on the card to give the card great abilities.

The third is to inject spirituality, which is also the final step, you must master the spirituality before you can activate the cards. ”

Andu paused and continued,

"What I'm going to teach you today is the first point, you've been learning the clean-up work for more than a week, and you should be pretty clear.

Because I am too busy to teach you everything slowly, you should study the basics I have given you for yourself.

So now I'm going to teach you the second point, blending. ”

Andu picked up the two materials that had been prepared when the two of them practiced calligraphy just now.

One is gray dusty and the other is a light green liquid.

"A good card requires more than just the crafter's skills, it also needs good materials.

The process of drawing cards is like building a building.

Materials are like the foundation of a card, and the artist is the architect of the card, and the two also have a chemical effect on each other.

You can't talk about the technical aspect yet, so the material is actually the most important part of your card to improve the quality of your cards.

When drawing a new card, there is a limit to the capacity that the card can hold, and there is a limit to the types of materials it can accept.

Then we have to use the least variety and materials to provide the maximum improvement.

So how do you improve the quality of the material? For example, if you look at these two materials in front of you. ”

Andu, a dusty gray material, lightly sprinkled a small half to a light green liquid.

I saw that the original light green liquid first swelled, and when I saw that it was about to overflow out of the bottle, Abt and Arnold were nervous and about to exclaim, the liquid was boiling violently!

As the liquid in the bottle tumbles and rushes, the light green color begins to change to dark green, and its volume gradually concentrates.

Two minutes later, the liquid that was almost overflowing at the beginning had unbelievably half the amount it had originally become.

Andu looked at the shocked two, and after a few seconds of relief, continued,

"These two materials are actually used separately in most books, but few people know that they actually have a mutually reinforcing effect.

And as you can see, after the fusion, their quantity does not increase but decreases.

It also means that you can invisibly put more materials into the cards than anyone else.

As for the green leaf grass juice with gray brown stone, the effect of its body is also greatly enhanced.

It's not a simple matter of one plus one is greater than two, but a geometric multiplier.

When you can put in two or three cards in the same card, the quality of the card is destined to be much higher than that of common cards of the same type. ”

The two listened so obsessively that they forgot to keep recording even the notebooks they brought.

Andu didn't break it, and continued to take out more than a dozen different materials to continue the explanation, and soon the materials enough to draw three cards were all consumed.

"At the moment, I can put together up to six cards in my research record, but it's too risky and demanding.

As for the two of you, what you've been learning lately is how to blend materials.

Attention to detail is the work, and a deviation of one or two grams can lead to scrap of material, so you can practice a lot first.

Finally, the content of your graduation exam is to combine the materials of two cards into one card.

Once you've passed this item, I'm going to start teaching you the real drawing skills. ”

While teaching the two of them, Andu took out a weight gauge from the corner.

"You use dust and water as tools to train your hands, and this weight gauge will react to you.

When you feel like you're accurate enough with the proportions, you can use the materials, which you can use to simulate.

The fusion techniques I just taught you guys show you a total of three different cards.

You can do your own research against the basics of getting started, and finally choose the cards you want to draw, and practice the most. ”

After saying this, Andu looked at the two Abt who were working hard to write, and said patiently,

"If you run out of materials, the rest of the materials will be deducted from your paycheck. ”

Abt was so startled that he quickly raised his head, only to see Andu looking at him with a serious face.

"In this way, you will cherish these materials more, so work hard!"

Abt's mouth opened and closed weakly, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Andu watched his reaction with satisfaction, as for Arnold, he didn't seem to care too much about it, and was still busy taking notes, for fear of missing something.

By the time the two of them had completely recorded the proportions and requirements of the materials, it was almost six o'clock.

Andu took the two of them except for the research room, and subconsciously looked at the door.

It was getting dark, and George and Carl had already eaten dinner and were standing there ready to take duty.

Sending away Abt and the others, who had not yet recovered their senses, Andu walked to the gate guarded by Carl and George.

"Young Master!"

Carl looked at Andu, who was walking towards him, and after being stunned, he quickly stood up straight and said.

"Is Robert back?" Andu asked suddenly.

"Not yet, do you have something to do with him?" Karl wondered.

On the cold streets, there are no people in sight.
