Almighty Alchemist

In the gloomy primeval jungle, Gong Hao stood quietly alone.

Like a clay sculpture and wood carving, motionless.

He was meditating, feeling the world of magic.

Hynes' enlightenment to him officially led him into the most mysterious core of this continent, and also made him understand what he had neglected.

This is the world of magic, and magic is the original power here.

That is, from that day on, he began to really concentrate on studying magic.

Different from the magic in Gong Hao's impression, magic is not completely unfathomable.

In fact, they exist in every corner of the world, everywhere.

The birth of magic comes from the unique element of this world—the magic element.

There have always been different opinions in Fengming Continent as to what kind of magic element exists. The vast majority of ordinary people believe that magical elements are creations of the gods. It is a gift from God, and human beings cannot explore its existence.

Magicians believe that the magic element is the greatest and most miraculous life, and it is the original force that makes up the world.

The warriors believed that the magical element was the life that had existed on this continent since its appearance, the real ancestor life, and it continued to this day. Therefore, the magic element is the real master of this continent. They even believe that the existence of grudge is another form of magic element.

The alchemists believe that magic elements are not life, but they are obviously a transitional existence before real life appears in the world. They, like other material elements, are the basic substances that make up the world. The only difference with these elements is that they are not pure matter, but between matter and life. Just like iron, magnesium, carbon, etc., they are also listed on the periodic table of elements, but they are independent of the periodic table of elements.

Because magic elements have both the characteristics of elements and creatures.

Composition of matter and reception of consciousness.

Magical elements can be combined with any element to form a substance, forming ordinary items, or magic items, and can also exist alone to form life, such as monsters and elemental spirits. They exist everywhere, air, earth, sea, fire, everywhere.

As far as cognition is concerned, it has to be said that alchemists have the most powerful ability to explore the source of power, and their cognition is also the most comprehensive.

Magic elements themselves do not have intelligence, but they can receive instructions through some special wave bands and execute them instinctively. And this is the source of magic.

All magic is accomplished through the gathering and combination of magic elements.

It is precisely because of this that in Fengming Continent, the original meaning of magic in the local language is not magic, but "communication and change". The original meaning of magic power in the local language is not magic power, but the power of guidance.

The real function of magic power is to guide the power of magic elements between heaven and earth, and issue instructions in various ways to complete incredible effects one by one.

Different from fighting qi, fighting qi is an existence produced by the human body, which is a kind of extreme development of the human body's self-level, while magic power is borrowed from the heaven and earth, so no one is actually born with magic power.

Meditation is a must for everyone to communicate with the magical elements around them.

When the communication reaches a certain level, people will develop an affinity with the magic element. The higher the affinity, the stronger the ability to attract magic elements. With the continuous improvement of this affinity, some magic elements will respond to the call and condense in the magician's body, thus forming magic power.

When a magician needs to release magic, he will use the magic power in his body to call out to the outside world and establish resonance, thus forming a magical effect. And the so-called mantras are actually the means that need to be used in this kind of communication, just like the secret signs between each other, if I say red, you set fire, if I say green, you add more firewood, that's all. Therefore, the initial use of magic spells is actually different for each person. Different people use the same magic, and the spells may not be the same. It's as if the means are different, but the purpose is the same.

However, with the passage of time, people gradually discovered that magic elements also have different understandings of different spells. Some spells are more efficient to use, while others are relatively low. After a lot of practice, people gradually integrated a complete set of spells and applied them to different spell needs, thus giving birth to a complete spell system. Until later, people gradually forgot the original meaning of magic, and thought that the magic could not be released without the spell, which was actually a big mistake. It's just a mantra that has been proven in practice, and it is more efficient when used.

In addition, magic elements do not have only one form, but have multiple forms such as wind, fire, water, wood, etc. Their original cores are the same, but they are expressed in different forms. When different mages absorb elemental power as magic power, they usually only choose one form of magic element to absorb, because the magic power formed by different forms of elements will form multiple swirls in the body due to different flows. Multiple magic vortices do not merge with each other in the body, and they rush together, forming a magic vortex very easily. This kind of vortex can cause the magician's magic power to feed back at the slightest, and the mana will be lost. In severe cases, the magic power will surge, triggering the explosion of the source of magic power, turning himself into a human bomb.

This is why magicians seldom have multi-system mages, because it is not only difficult, but also extremely dangerous.

And what Gong Hao is doing at the moment is feeling the element of wind, and trying to resonate with the element of wind.

At this moment, the wind slowly blew through the dense jungle, shaking the thick and tall trees, making a "rustling" sound.

The sound of "rustling" one after another converges into a sound of waves, which is the sound made by the "huge waves" formed by leaves beating the "reef" formed by branches.

Gong Hao, who stood there quietly, seemed to be able to hear the sound from far away, which was the message brought to him by the wind.

It was a wonderful feeling.

When he went to explore the forbidden valley for the first time, Gong Hao had such an experience, but that time was completely different from this time.

At that time, he was still on the basis of borrowing power, he was just trying to sense the flow of the wind elements, to catch the slight sound they sent.

But this time, he wants to use the meditation method passed down by the magicians to actively communicate with the wind element.

He doesn't know how this special substance or life exists, but the way of meditation tells him that calming down and feeling nature is far better than shrinking himself in a room without moving.

The magician's meditation is applicable everywhere, but in different places, at different times, and in different moods, the effect of meditation is very different.

In the primordial jungle of Purgatory Island, the atmosphere of magic is thick and strong, especially the three elements of climate and nature fill the space and are ubiquitous.

Using meditation, Gong Hao could hear the breath of the wind, the breath of the earth, and the roar of monsters from afar.

He could feel that the surrounding plants were blooming, the grass was growing, and full of vitality, and he could feel the tiny magic insects flying hard, crawling desperately, looking for food.

He could hear the beating of his heart and the sound of blood flowing in his veins.

This is the power of magic.

Gong Hao smiled slightly.

A small whirlwind blew up around him, with Gong Hao's body as the center, like a hollow tornado hovering from time to time, the resonance with the wind element even aroused the chorus of the entire jungle, the fog gradually drifted away over the entire Purgatory Island, and the sky was filled with blood.

Hines frowned suddenly.

"Who caused the resonance of such a large-scale wind element?"

Andrew hurried in: "Mentor, someone is meditating in the jungle."

"Could it be Pierre?" Hynes asked.

Andrew shook his head: "He didn't leave the alchemy tower."

Hines was slightly taken aback. He took out the crystal ball, slowly stroked the image on the crystal ball, and finally fixed on the blond boy wrapped in the tornado in the jungle.

It's him? Hugh Iglare? Hines and Andrew both opened their mouths wide.

After a while, Hines suddenly spit out: "This little guy, has he been in the Alchemy Tower for almost half a year?"

"Yes, four and a half months to be exact."

"He started really concentrating on meditation, a month and a half ago, right?"

"Yes tutor."

"One and a half months..." Hines sighed: "In one and a half months, such a large-scale wind element resonance can be aroused... This child, he has the talent to practice magic."

Andrew also smiled wryly.

This may be the biggest joke in the world, an alchemy apprentice who has the talent to learn magic.

You must know that every alchemist turned into an alchemist after he couldn't become a magician and couldn't give up his love for magic. Although in the most glorious years of alchemy, alchemists were far more powerful than any mages, magicians always called alchemists "failed products of magicians", which meant that they did not have the ability to become magicians, so they turned to other paths. Although alchemy is extremely powerful, alchemist is a profession that ordinary people can engage in, which makes many magicians disdain to learn alchemy-the pride of magicians lies in the fact that things are rare and expensive.

The nobility and pride of a magician is the envy of even the most powerful alchemist. Although they can create an invincible army and produce various potions and items that everyone can't wait for, they still don't have the power like magicians, and they can't freely communicate with magic elements and guide the power of elements like them. They can only use material means to detour to achieve their goals.

But who would have thought that a small servant became an alchemy apprentice by accident, and only at this moment did he reveal his magical talent?

It must be known that Hugh Iglesne had not conducted any magician talent test before, and no one knew about it, and no one thought it would be such a coincidence that after a servant became an apprentice, he still had the ability to learn magic.

This is really... surprising.

It only took one and a half months to arouse the resonance of the wind element in a wide range, which means that Xiu Yiglaer's training in wind element magic will be as smooth as a real magician, and his talent is quite good even among those magicians. Although the resonance of the wind element only represents the degree of fit and potential, as well as the speed of his cultivation, at present, Gong Hao's actual ability is not as good as that of Andrew - he doesn't even know a basic magic spell. But as long as he is given time, he is very likely to become a real wind magician in the future, mastering the power to call wind and rain.

But the problem is, he is now a servant. Despite being an apprentice, he is still essentially a servant.

No apprentice would have a life-threatening spirit-seed in his body.

"What should we do?" Andrew asked the tutor in confusion.

Hines pondered for a while, then slowly said: "The Lance Empire does not lack wind mages, and it would not be a big deal to lose a future mage. Even with his talent, it is possible to advance to the level of a wind mage in the future. No matter how strong the vitality of the magic plant is, it cannot lack the irrigation of rain and dew. With only talent, without the guidance of a master, it can only be a dusty pearl. Just treat it as if it never happened, and let him bury it."

Andrew sighed regretfully, but he also knew that this was the only way to go: "Then the teacher, his wind element compatibility, the test for us...?"

"Yes, it is very helpful for our experiment. These days, he has mastered all aspects of alchemy very quickly. It is time to teach him that thing."

Hines turned to leave.

Andrew shouted: "Teacher, do you really think that without the guidance of a magician, he would not grow up?"

Heinston paused, and said in a deep voice: "At least it is impossible to grow into an existence that threatens us."

"What if he did?"

"Then...destroy him."

"Yes, mentor." On this issue, Andrew did not dare to play sloppy with his mentor.

———————————————

Gong Hao didn't know that his unintentional breakthrough had already attracted Hines' attention, which brought him opportunities and also brought him more dangers.

At this moment, he is immersed in the large-scale resonance with the wind elements just now, this is the first time he has come into contact with these wind elements so deeply. Before that, he never dreamed that he could resonate with the element of wind in such a large area. In fact, whether the degree of this resonance is good or bad, even he doesn't know.

Don't say he doesn't know, even Hines doesn't know. Hines only knew that any mage who practiced the wind element had a certain degree of wind element resonance, but he didn't know how large the resonance range of the wind element was. He only knew that the higher the talent, the wider the resonance range. And with the growth of strength, the scope of resonance will continue to increase.

The range of element resonance is related to the magician's casting distance. How much you can affect the elements in the range, how much is your casting distance. It is not uncommon for Hines to see a phenomenon like Gong Hao that can cause the resonance of wind elements in most of the jungle. Almost every great magister of the wind system has this kind of strength, and even surpasses it. This caused Hines to overlook one thing - Gong Hao was just a beginner apprentice.

At this moment, Gonghao clearly sensed that the element of wind with the highest affinity was turning into magic power and entering his body. As long as he wanted, he might be able to release a wind spell right now.

It's a pity he couldn't.

He just learned to condense magic power and establish a further induction with the wind element, but he has not learned how to use magic.

He didn't know how to give instructions to the surrounding magical elements to accomplish a certain purpose he wanted to accomplish. This kind of instruction seems to be a special language, and its purpose is to allow the magic elements to understand and execute quickly and effectively. If the ubiquitous magic element is a majestic army, then the magician is the general in charge of command, and the magic power is the messenger. It's a pity that Gong Hao, a general now, has an army and messengers, but he doesn't have soldier symbols, and he doesn't know the sign language of the messengers, and he doesn't know how to demonstrate the attack with drums and the retreat with gongs in the magical world.

He can only look at himself with magic but can't use it, and feel worried about it.

It's a pity that there is no real magician on Purgatory Island. Even Hines knows very limited magic, and he doesn't know wind magic either. Hines is good at natural magic. Of course, his "goodness" is not worth mentioning in front of a real natural mage.

Alas, it seems that we can only continue to practice magic power and build resonance. Other than that, I can't do anything by myself.

Gong Hao thought sadly.

When he returned to the alchemy tower, Andrew waved to him.

"Hugh Igles, come here." Andrew said.

"What's the matter? My lord."

Andrew took out a manual with a smile and handed it to Gong Hao: "Take this thing and study it carefully."

"What's this?"

Gong Hao opened the notebook curiously, and saw some strange symbols and complicated descriptions drawn on it, and those pictures were clearly the image of a human doll.

Andrew's deep voice sounded in his ear: "This is the alchemy notebook written by the most famous alchemist Electra three hundred years ago. It contains some experience about his puppet making. Our flesh puppets and undead puppets are all based on this notebook."

Electra?

This name rang in Gong Hao's ears like a thunderbolt.
