The current difficulty with Isengard is essentially because he is an airborne leader.

Patrick may be a bit of a dabbler as a villain and a noble, but he manages the many branches in the southern border of the Platinum and Iridium Workshop in an orderly manner, and at least it can be stable and good.

After his death, the disciples of Master Gesai who took over his place were at least highly capable professionally.

On the contrary, Isengard, although he can be regarded as an alchemy genius, is probably only an elite mid-level in the alchemy system.

Apprentice, formal, elite, master, master craftsman... Basically, this is how similar job agencies are classified. Although the names are not necessarily so rigid, the specific classification of pharmaceuticals is like this.

Internship potions are actually various primary blood-replenishing potions, blood coagulation ointments, and all kinds of trauma medicines made by adventurers are also of this level. The potions that an alchemist of this level can make will not be more effective than this, and at most they will be faster.

The formal potion has the ability to be used in combat. For example, it can quickly stop bleeding, temporarily repair wounds, harden skin, increase strength... and alchemical potions such as ice-condensing potions can even easily freeze a body of water, while burning potions can burn down a forest.

As for elite potions... potions that can regenerate limbs and heal internal organs; potions that can directly enhance part of the sublimated person's abilities, and even allow people to have the power of Warcraft in a short time, potions that enhance the agility of Warcraft, or various rare potions. They are all of this level.

If used for attack, it would be just like what Ian showed when he was fighting the Magnetic Light Knight - the fluctuation of the explosion was even comparable to a volley of alchemical artillery, and the lethality radius encompassed the entire Stone Tree Jungle.

This is already considered a material that can be used against the military, and it can explode with extremely terrifying lethality when needed.

Ian rarely makes potions of this level because the materials have become rare and require Warcraft materials or sublimated plants to make them.

Further up, it is the domain of masters and first-generation masters.

It is because of this that Master Gesai is able to receive courtesy from many nobles and powerful men in the empire as a second-level person. Although he is only at the second level, the value of the medicines and academic value he can produce far exceeds that of an ordinary third level.

And Ian's level is already approaching this category.

"Actually, it's mainly because I have a silver chip. If I really have to rely on my own methods, they will be about the same as Isengard at best."

Ian has a very clear understanding of himself. Although he has been practicing hard on alchemy since he was about ten years old and used silver chips to deduce it, this cannot completely offset the weakness caused by his lack of systematic study of relevant alchemy knowledge. foundation.

Isengard could rely on its own foundation to improvise a potion against brain-eating insects, but Ian was unable to do so at that time. Alchemy alone cannot do it.

But in the recent period, the many alchemy books left by Master Gosei, as well as Ian's learning and research along the way... the most important thing is the keen perception and more subtle control abilities brought by his becoming the second energy level. , allowing him to gradually understand the true essence of alchemy.

——The fusion and sublimation of source matter, various catalysis and sublimation...

Very simple reason.

The higher the level, the better the hardware, the better the experimental conditions and tools, the easier it will be to bring about research results.

But Isengard is different.

He purely relied on his excellent foundation and his indeed quite strong alchemy talent to get him to this point.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Ian, who can easily purify queen ant poison and master the new regeneration potion preparation techniques, is already considered a future alchemist master, a rising star.

"But at the end of the day, Ethan."

Ian said: "They didn't flatter you either. The reason why you felt restrained was simply because you were too young - they couldn't have convinced you within two months."

"Indeed." Isengard nodded: "And being young is not a problem. The most important thing is that my current identity comes from my teachers and mother. And I can't do anything without discussing it with them first... At least I have to hold on to some of my power."

"That's why I need you, Ian."

"You can break this initial dilemma. At least there are many things going on inside the Platinum and Iridium Workshop. I won't even have anyone who can discuss it or help vote."

"Yes, I can see it very clearly. You have really grasped the key."

Ian really laughed now, and he stood up: "Just tell me if you need anything, and I will help immediately."

"But today, it's time to take a rest."

"Please take your pick of rooms."

Isengard also stood up. He was also very happy to meet Ian this time: "Although this is a place where the family lives, my sister and I will live there. Adults will not live in such a cheap place."

——Is this all cheap?

"Do you still have a sister?"

Ian complained in his heart, and was a little surprised, while Isengard scratched his head: "I should have said it, right? But she is still young and has nothing to do with the things I am involved in, so she is taken care of by her mother's people and has not come to the imperial capital. .”

The night was already deep, and even the simulated light curtain in the central part of the imperial capital turned into a dim night sky.

After walking out of Isengard's room, Ian found that Hua An and Shuangdie were in high spirits. The two of them were having fun playing on the table. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was the big goblin and the little goblin playing cards.

Fairy cards are a fairly traditional entertainment among the fairies. The rules of the game are somewhat similar to some of Ian's fantasy card games in his previous life. They are divided into professions with special decks and battle methods.

Hua An was holding cards that were about the size of a human thumb, explaining the attributes and meanings of the cards to Shuangdie, who seemed to understand.

"This is a field card...it can create long-lasting field effects!"

"This is a monster card that can be used to fight and attack the enemy's cards and the enemy itself!"

"This is a psychic card that can create various special effects..."

"Very good, you have mastered these basic rules, let's play cards!"

"No." After reading all the card effects, Shuangdie shook his head seriously, which shocked Hua An: "Why?"

"Because senior wants to bully me, not play cards with me." The little goblin said righteously, and his sentences were so smooth that it was unimaginable.

"Why are you so sharp in this area..." Hua An was dejected, especially because he felt unwilling to do so after his little conspiracy was shattered.

"Okay, okay, two lovely ladies." Coming to the hall, Ian clapped his hands: "It's time to rest today."

"We are goblins, we don't need to rest!" Hua An protested, and then saw Shuangdie yawning greatly: "But I want to sleep..."

"Really?" Miss Goblin was shocked: "Do goblins also want to sleep?"

"Maybe there is something wrong with Frost Butterfly's human common sense?" Ian obviously doesn't have the habit of going to bed so early. He actually doesn't need sleep for a long time. The second energy level can effectively control his body. When he is not fighting, as low as possible to extend the heyday.

But taking an occasional break for your brain and body can make you more productive.

He sat on the sofa, then lifted Frost Butterfly and placed it on his shoulders. The little goblin rubbed Ian's hair, kneaded it into a suitable shape, and then fell asleep leaning against it.

"Hey." Hua An was also a little curious at this moment. She flew up and asked closely: "What did you and the little blond guy talk about? Although you can't hear me, your emotions are quite active!"

"We talked about how to increase rights in the human world."

Ian opened his eyes wide and said matter-of-factly: "It's just the things that humans often talk about - so we are all very excited."

"Oh." Hua An didn't feel that Ian was lying, so he backed away without interest: "This is not interesting."

"Indeed, many things in human society are really not interesting to fairies." Ian also said frankly: "I don't like it very much, but it is a necessary part."

"I understand, I understand." Hua An crossed his arms and nodded seriously: "It's like my teacher, who says he doesn't love money, but how powerful he is in fighting for funds..."

"Speaking of this, Miss Hua An."

The white-haired boy glanced at Frost Butterfly beside him, straightened his slightly skewed body, and then looked at Hua An with extremely curious and eager eyes: "What kind of skill is the fairy's meditation method? I was in the city before. Besides, I’ve always wanted to try it, but there wasn’t a stable enough environment.”

"And now, all the conditions should be met within the Imperial Capital."

"I'm... very curious about this."
