Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 37 Making Alchemy Bullets

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark. Under the dim light of the oil lamp in Lawrence's room, he finished reading the last page of the thick book in his hand, and then closed "Introduction to Alchemy".

Thanks to the ability of Bai Ze's bloodlines to be knowledgeable, he was able to read this "Introduction to Alchemy" in just four hours. Of course, this is also a real introductory book with this book. Lots of pictures about.

After taking a few sips from the nearby water glass, Lawrence put the book on the bed and cleared the table. Then he took out several packages that were under the table and opened them one by one.

In addition to the maintenance box and bullet box of the firearm, what came into view was a lot of strange items he bought from the logistics just now.

Silver powder, holy salt, garlic essence, rose seeds, mistletoe leaves, etc. packed in bottles of different colors... In addition to these materials, there is also a set of the simplest alchemy utensils. After a little inventory of the things he bought before, he grabbed a handful of golden bullets from the bullet box and arranged them on the table.

This is Lawrence's task tonight. According to the suggestions of those seniors, he plans to use the method of making enchanted bullets to improve his combat effectiveness in a short time.

In fact, Lawrence has been in a state of anxiety since he came to this world. After all, the previous attack that caused him to cross had been warning him that even though the world was generally calm, there were still many dangerous and evil things in the dark. If you don't want to be inexplicably involved in an attack and lose your life, making yourself stronger is the only way out.

The fastest way to become stronger in a short period of time is to use firearms. Of course, it is too difficult to modify firearms or create a magic firearm, and it also requires too much professional knowledge. For Lawrence now, it is the most suitable method to modify bullets according to the method written in the book "Introduction to Alchemy" just now.

"Huh—" Lawrence took a deep breath, and then sat down on the chair by the table. After that, he grabbed the set of alchemy props and started to act.

Crush, stir, mix, distill. After a series of operations, he obtained a thumb-sized vial of silver-blue liquid with silver powder as the main ingredient.

"Okay, the raw materials have been prepared, and the next step is to describe the runes." After extinguishing the alcohol lamp on the table and packing up the alchemy utensils used just now, Lawrence leaned heavily on the back of the chair and rubbed his temples , and then moved his fingers.

After resting for a few minutes, Lawrence started to enchant the bullet after making sure that he was in the best condition. He first took out a bullet and fixed it on the wooden jig with the bullet head up. Then adjust the position of the headband with a reflector similar to that of a dentist just bought, and fix the light it reflects on the bullet.

Afterwards, he took out the rune writing pen that he bought just now, which was the part that cost the most when he bought this set of alchemy tools. If you look carefully, you can see a little silver-blue light on the nib.

"That's what Mithril plus a simple enchantment cost me 30 yuan, which is still a discount on the internal price." After complaining, he dipped the tip of his pen into the viscous liquid he had just prepared.

After dipping in the liquid, Lawrence poured magic power into the enchanting pen. Under the effect of the magic on the pen, the viscous liquid immediately became as smooth as ordinary ink, and at the same time emitted a faint blue cold light. Looking at the liquid that changed state, he took a deep breath and quickly sketched on the bullet head.

A not-so-complicated rune appeared on the bullet with the movement of the pen tip, and was finished with the last stroke. Lawrence immediately took out the holy water prepared with holy salt and sprinkled it on it.

After a burst of light, the rune on the bullet just now slowly penetrated into the bullet. In just one breath, the rune disappeared, but the entire bullet turned silvery white.

"Great!" Lawrence clenched his fist and cheered softly, then took off the bullet and performed an identification technique. As a result, the feedback he received clearly told him that he had obtained an exorcism bullet.

Next, Lawrence began to do the same with the remaining bullets. Unfortunately, not every bullet was successful. After he consumed all the formulated potions, he produced a total of eight ordinary exorcism bullets and four enhanced exorcism bullets. In addition, he wasted six rounds due to his inexperience in the beginning.

Among them, the enhanced version of the exorcism bullet was when he was in the middle of making it, and suddenly remembered that if some special raw materials were added, the effect of the potion might be changed, but the prerequisite was that the added things must be consistent with the original potion.

So, on a whim, Lawrence cut his finger and dripped a few drops of blood into the potion. Because of the exorcism effect of Bai Ze's blood, after adding blood, the effect of the whole potion becomes stronger.

But in contrast, the failure rate of making bullets has greatly increased. Only two of the previous ten ordinary exorcism bullets failed, but only half of the next eight enhanced bullets succeeded.

In short, with the addition of Bai Ze's wisdom and the talent of the samurai, Lawrence produced a total of twelve alchemy bullets tonight. Combined with the bullets he bought before, he now has a total of eighteen ordinary exorcism bullets and four enhanced exorcism bullets.

After putting the prepared bullets into the leather bullet case at the waist. Lawrence put the failed products aside to be thrown into a special processing place tomorrow. After all, after the failure of the production, the bullet head is as pitted as if corroded by sulfuric acid, and can only be thrown away as dangerous waste.

"God, it's already 11 o'clock, now I have to go to bed quickly." Glancing at the wall clock hanging on the wall, Lawrence quickly cleaned up the pile of things on the table, and then climbed into bed after washing and screwed out the I went to sleep with the oil lamp on the bedside table.

The next morning, Lawrence got out of bed very early. Since he promised Sergeant Hans to visit his house yesterday, he needs to get up early to have enough time to solve the problem.

After entering the cafeteria as usual, Lawrence happened to meet the middle-aged priest who received him at the Faith Department yesterday and recommended "Introduction to Alchemy" to him.

"Ha, good morning!" After seeing Lawrence, the priest greeted him proactively. It was obvious that the priest was a warm and friendly person by nature.

"Good morning, sir." After seeing him greet himself, Lawrence also hurriedly greeted him. Then the two sat at a table and chatted.

During the chat, Lawrence learned that yesterday's case has now been resolved due to timely intelligence. The police, with the cooperation of the Church of Knowledge personnel, captured the murderer in the early hours of this morning. The murderer was a backup dancer of the victim. She has admitted that she killed the lead actor out of jealousy, and hoped that she would Gain the favor of the devil.

"But after we checked, we found that there is no difference between ordinary people, and there is no trace of pollution from the lower space. It's just that she kept claiming that she was favored by a great existence all the way when we brought her into the police station." Nian Priest said. "I think she may just have some hallucinations. After all, this ceremony in historical records is not successful every time. But for safety reasons, we finally put her in a special cell in the police station."

"That's good." Lawrence nodded, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly. It is indeed a pleasant thing to stop the spread of evil for one's own reasons.
