Shameless Warlock

As a Ron warlock, Xu Nan asked himself that his understanding of alchemists is still in place.

But his knowledge comes from blood inheritance or gulping dates, which is still lacking in scientific theory.

So when he saw the description of "God's Alchemy", he was stunned.

"Alchemy, isn't it just a trick that follows the law of energy and matter exchanged at equal value?"

"Can something be created out of nothing?"

Xu Nan was amazed.

This information summary is obviously well done, not only sorting out the ins and outs of the news clearly, but also attaching an explanation about the alchemy of the gods.

It turned out that this was a very unpopular school in Stephen Sand.

Long, long ago, before the modern alchemy rules were established, there were two theoretically incompatible factions in alchemy techniques: [School of Equilibrium] and [School of Deception].

The Institute of Equilibrium believes that the function of alchemy is equivalent exchange. Equivalence lies in the fact that matter and energy are measurable and balanced before and after alchemy; exchange refers to the purpose of changing the form of matter through the replacement of alchemical materials. This kind of thinking has been recognized by most people. Modern alchemists basically follow the alchemy rules of the Balance Academy, and there are very few mistakes and omissions.

The Institute of Deception holds another point of view. They believe that alchemy is immeasurable, invisible, and full of randomness. Human beings can reduce these variables in various ways, but it will never be possible to accurately measure every variable in the process of alchemy; at the same time, they believe that alchemy is a technique that is created out of nothing, and people can only break away from the rigid framework of equivalent transactions. Only then can one comprehend the beauty of the realm of the gods.

This is the origin of divine alchemy.

They respectively represent the two thoughts of alchemy. According to Xu Nan's superficial knowledge, the Balance Society is more materialistic, while the Deception Society is more idealistic. In the age of ignorance, it is normal for the idea of ​​a deception society to be born.

This is a step that must be experienced in the development process of things.

Facts have proved that with the development of history, the Society of Deception has indeed been gradually eliminated.

The alchemy system of the Equilibrium Society is very solid, safe and stable. Under the leadership of many talented alchemists, a hundred flowers bloomed, and along with the Arcane Empire reached its peak, after several twists and turns, there were declines and troughs, but it was also used by Stephen Sang and other holy places of magic. inherited.

Contemporary alchemy is basically based on modern alchemy, with slightly improved techniques and the introduction of the concept of semi-automatic assembly line construction, etc. The basic framework is still based on the ideas of the Equilibrium Society.

The alchemy learned by deception is too unstable, and it is even easy to create monsters and kill people, so it is gradually abandoned.

But there is still a small group of people who are slanting their swords, tirelessly studying the so-called "Alchemy of God".

They are outliers in Stephen Sand, and the reason why they were not expelled is only because Stephen Sand's style welcomes diverse ideas. But despite this, these people are still ridiculed by most alchemists, thinking that they are the tragedy of the times.

Obviously, that female alchemist named Helena is one of the few deception societies.

In Xu Nan's opinion, this woman is too cruel. In order to win the award and justify her own name, she actually made her son into an alchemy doll! Mobile terminal::

After the incident, both Helena and the alchemy puppet named Sun God disappeared.

However, Stephen Sang fell into a crazy discussion because of the suspected alchemy of the gods displayed by the sun god.

Some alchemists of the Kinkou Society were angered. They felt that Helena's behavior violated Stephen Sand's principle [pursue the truth, but love life more]. They spontaneously launched a series of purge campaigns, and began to target a small number of alchemists from the Deception Society in the city.

As for the alchemists who deceived the society, it was even more inexplicable. Their society had long since declined, and everyone's relationship with each other was very loose. At least two-thirds of the people did not know Helena, and they were suddenly targeted. These alchemists also have tempers. In fact, the guys who are still studying the alchemy of God today are somewhat stubborn.

Facing the massive purge movement, they angrily adopted more violent means of resistance.

These included drastic measures such as throwing Molotov cocktails and casting vicious curses on leaders of the purge movement.

For a moment, Stephen Sand suddenly became confused.

Although the number of people in the Equilibrium Society has an absolute advantage, the alchemists of the Deception Society have survived for many years and are very good at fighting guerrillas. After a week, the initiators of the purge movement were all severely punished.

The law enforcement team is naturally very busy, no wonder Jiang Yuanchi was transferred to work.

At the same time, the whereabouts of Helena and the "Sun God" are actually what other people are more concerned about.

Xu Nan hastily scanned Stephen Sang's recent newspapers, and found that the appearance of "Sun God" had indeed ignited Stephen Sang's hot spots.

Every day, a bunch of alchemists talk about it in the newspapers, but there are also real masters who are seriously discussing the feasibility of "God's Alchemy".

Although this view is easy to be criticized, most rational people are more thinking.

After all, thousands of years have passed since the foundations of modern alchemy were laid.

For thousands of years, alchemy has not advanced by leaps and bounds.

"Has the alchemy of equilibrium really come to an end?"

"Is our alchemy really flawless?"

"If you want to break through the existing framework, can you learn from the ideas of the Deception Society?"

Similar thought-provoking soul tortures emerge in endlessly.

A mighty alchemist debate unfolded in Stephen Sand, which attracted the attention of many people.

Regarding this kind of matter, the [Red Windmill] representing An Suli's will and the [White Tower] representing Genesis' will take more acquiescing attitudes. In fact, as long as no big news is made, Stephen Sang's official The attitude has always been very relaxed.

"As expected of the orthodox inheritance of the Arcane Empire, it looks very powerful."

Xu Nan sighed with emotion, and then silently packed up the information.

"It's a pity that it has nothing to do with me."

No way, he is not a mage, he is just a warlock, not an academic.

As a typical Ron warlock and earthling, Xu Nan is the ultimate pragmatist. In his opinion, whether it is solid balance alchemy or exaggerated god's alchemy, it has nothing to do with him.

All he needs to do is to grow with peace of mind, wait for Stephen Sang to finish arguing, and then learn the fruits...

As for the debate process, let these talented mages participate.

It's not about being humble, he really can't do it.

No wonder Jiang Yuanchi didn't mention these things to Xu Nan, probably because he felt that even if Xu Nan knew about it, it would be meaningless.

After all, he is a person who depends on his appearance.

"I just need to attend the Tide of Aurora celebration a week later on time."

"These alchemists make trouble casually, no matter how much trouble they make, it won't make trouble at the Tide of Aurora celebration, right?"

"It's none of my business anyway."

He yawned lazily, losing interest in continuing to gossip.

...

Jiang Yuan fell asleep eighteen hours late, and when she woke up she yelled "I'm sorry", jumped up and asked Xu Nan to attend the celebration on time, and then opened the portal and fled.

I don't know if there are still missions in Stephen Sand.

Xu Nan, who knew the ins and outs, of course would not really ask her to take on the responsibility of chief mage, this thing is really just a false job...

In the next week, Xu Nan played the role of the city lord honestly, sorting out the big and small matters of the unknown city, and the faces of the officials in the city hall improved. What should I do now.

He didn't even complain about Liuhuo.

The Unknown City is doing well, but the Eastern Kingdoms are not.

After returning from the Ice Wind Territory, Xu Nan had already sent people to use the gold mines to cast the Golden Dragon Token non-stop, because he also knew that if he didn't make a lot of money, the Golden Dragon Token might be worthless after the war broke out.

The entire eastern kingdom is currently in a state of rain and wind.

Except for Evelyn, the other three heirs of the kingdom secretly returned to the capital. They obtained the support of their respective forces in the Eastern Kingdom, and they all wanted to get their hands on the throne.

Even the children selling newspapers in Wangduli know that the sky is about to change.

All eyes were on General Howell, who drank in the palace every day to relieve his worries.

Many big forces are still vacillating, and the most important reason why they did not express their position is because Howell did not express his position.

Whoever can get the support of this great general will have a high probability of winning the throne.

But what is sad is that the death of the old king seems to have dealt a huge blow to General Howell. He spent all day drinking in the old friend's tea room in the palace, ignoring the several heirs to the throne who came to visit. They have no intention of presiding over the government.

This made the situation in the capital more complicated and confusing.

The heirs couldn't handle Howell, so they could only do some tricks.

Among them, the southern forces headed by the second prince suddenly criticized Xueyuan City's declaration of independence.

He spoke fiercely. On the surface, he accused the Lord Stendhal, but in fact he pointed the finger at Evelyn who was still in the Ice Wind Territory and had not returned.

Soon, the other two heirs also expressed similar meanings.

Even Xu Nan understood.

These three heirs in the capital have reached a certain level of tacit agreement

Anyway, Howell refused to make a statement, and the three of us continue to fight among ourselves, so it's pointless to kick that guy out who hasn't come back.

As a result, the internal conflicts in the Eastern Kingdom suddenly pointed to Evelyn.

At present, Evelyn still has not made a statement. Xu Nan is looking forward to what kind of attitude the fourth princess will show in such a situation.

...

In addition, another major event affecting the Eastern Kingdom came from the religious world.

The Ice and Snow Goddess Church's headquarters in the capital Renxenberg suddenly announced that the Lanyi Cult is a heresy!

A mighty cleansing of heresy began.

It's better in Xueyuan City. In other places, as long as you have any traces of believing in the Blue Clothes Cult, you will be ruthlessly slaughtered by the church's disciplinary knights.

Religion has always been so cruel in dealing with heresy.

It seems that although the Ice and Snow Goddess Messiah didn't know what happened in the Frost Giant's dorm, he at least knew that the matter had failed.

Then there is no need for her to continue to tolerate the existence of Lan Yijiao.

The goddess' will is as firm as iron, and the minions below must resolutely implement it no matter how helpless they are.

Even though the situation in the eastern kingdom is already very chaotic, the heirs to the throne are trying to persuade the Ice Goddess Church not to launch a purge at this juncture, but it still doesn't help.

The Eastern Kingdoms are in complete chaos.

The surrounding neighboring countries and the rest of the church are laughing happily, let's fish in troubled waters together!

That is to say, Wildfire City was far away, and Xu Nan's Stephen Sang card was so hard that no one provoked him.

Two days ago, an alliance letter from Banduo Port was placed in front of Xu Nan.

The dragon-born city lord hopes to reach a private alliance with Xu Nan, and he can give away the food negotiated before for free.

It seemed that he also smelled the smell of war.

The Eastern Kingdom is not far from civil strife.

...

Although the unknown city is far underground, because of the wildfire city as an outpost on the ground, the news has not been lagging behind.

Xu Nan didn't intend to wade into the muddy waters in this war, but he felt that he could make money from the war.

Of course, war is something that cannot be said to be neutral.

You must have enough strength.

In the past few days, Xu Nan is not only doing his daily work, but also has the formation of an army on his agenda.

With no one to replace him for the time being, he urged Tang Haibao to recruit troops among the Icelanders, with the goal of building the first army of about a thousand people.

The physical fitness of the Iceborne people is very good, which is a good foundation, but the problem is that the management and construction of the army is really a difficult problem.

Even if Xu Nan only needs a thousand intimidating infantry, it will require a lot of expenses and more precious talents.

Before Wildfire City, there was no army, and some of them were only the private army of the Icefield nobles, whose combat effectiveness was basically pitifully low.

In the Northland, apart from the official countries, many city-states and villages often can only hire mercenaries composed of professional adventurers to resolve some violent incidents and regional disputes.

Although the mercenary group composed of professionals has good combat power, the battlefield is another world. Soldiers and adventurers are completely different concepts.

Even in the high-magic world, the disadvantages of the cold weapon era still exist. Except for the legendary mages who can defeat a thousand with one, personal power is still limited most of the time in the face of war.

The problem Xu Nan is facing now is that there are no talents to lead and manage the army.

It's not difficult to gather a thousand strong men from the ice field!

But how to manage, train like this, how to schedule, he doesn't know anything.

It's not just him, the huge unknown city can't find similar talents.

There are a few guys in Qianmang Club who are eager to try, and the most reliable one among them, the reason for recommending himself is only

"I used to be a foreman on a construction site, and I managed about 20 workers!"

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

As for the other two, one is said to have experience in managing sheep flocks, and the other is said to be good at strategy games. The actual contact made Xu Nan's head hurt.

In the city lord's office, Xu Nan sighed.

It happened that Liu Huo ran over and asked strangely:

"Why does the Lord City Lord sigh?"

"There is a shortage of talents!"

Xu Nan smiled wryly.

Liuhuo showed a puzzled look:

"Since the reconstruction of the unknown city, [Red Lotus Altar] has recruited one hundred and sixty-seven special talents from other worlds for you. Are there none of these people who you like?"

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment.

...
