Super Dimensional Wizard
Chapter 166 Epigraphy
Although alchemy is not included in the three major structures, it is also a mainstream choice for wizards. (pinyin of bi qi wu)
There are many directions for alchemy. In ancient times, alchemists divided it into two categories: "acting on oneself" and "borrowing foreign objects". In today's alchemy world, the classification is not as obscure and confusing as in ancient times. It is directly divided into: pharmacy, and epigraphy.
Pharmacy, as the name suggests, is mainly about refining pharmaceuticals. For example, the Linye potion owned by Angel was made by an alchemist who was proficient in potions. Of course, the science of pharmacy is broad and profound, and it does not simply refer to the potions you drink. Some of the more eccentric branches, such as Liana's incense-making skills, also belong to pharmacy.
Epigraphy, on the other hand, focuses on making alchemical props. David's spiral aircraft belongs to the mechanical alchemy under the epigraphy.
The idea of alchemy is "transformation". Whether it is the direction of medicine or gold and stone, they actually revolve around the core of "transformation". Therefore, although the two have different focuses, in fact, no matter which one they are involved in, they are collectively called alchemists.
Although the two have a lot in common, the refining process is different, and the selection of materials also has different emphasis. Therefore, David first needs to ask which direction Angel plans to take before he can prepare the materials.
"The two general directions of alchemy both test talent. In terms of economic value, the two are about the same; but from a technical level, I personally think that the direction of gold and stone is slightly more difficult." David saw that Angel was hesitant to say anything. , thinking that he was still hesitating, he simply stated the two directions of alchemy that he understood.
Angel: "I'm going to go in the direction of gold and stone."
"Are you sure? Although the potion direction also depends on talent, once you master the refining of a potion, you can quickly recoup the cost. It may not be that easy for the gold and stone direction to recoup the cost."
"Sure." Angel decided to choose epigraphy early in the morning. Although the alchemy books he recorded in the nightmare world include gold, stones and potions, he does not plan to dabble in potions yet. If it weren't for the imminent opening time of the Purification Garden, he might even have to postpone learning alchemy until later.
But things are fickle, and the Purification Garden inspired Angel's motivation. In order to climb to the top of the Sky Tower and successfully obtain the ticket to the Purification Garden, Angel had no choice but to take a different approach and come up with the idea of alchemy.
"Okay, make your own decision, don't regret it."
"It's not that I regret it. At worst, if epigraphy fails, I can choose the direction of pharmacy again."
David said with a smile: "Then we are on the same road, and we can help each other."
"I have a few books here that introduce epigraphy materials. You can take a look. If you need anything, I will go to the warehouse and get it for you. It will definitely be the market price." David took out several thick stacks of books and put them on the In front of Angel.
"Encyclopedia of Magic Gold Materials", "Atlas of Smelting Neutralizing Materials", "Collection of Catalytic Materials"...
When David brought these dictionary-like books to Angel, he actually wanted to dissuade Angel. Even though he was talking to Angel with a smile, he was actually very dissatisfied with a utopian like Angel. If it was to make friends, David would be willing to become good friends with Angel. But when it comes to alchemy, David has a problem. He values alchemy far more than himself.
In his mind, alchemy is not something that only cats and dogs can dabble in. Angel plunged into the pit of alchemy and pretended to be wealthy, which made him feel as if something he cherished had been desecrated by someone who didn't understand it.
This is a very complicated emotion. If Angel had chosen pharmacy, he might not be able to do anything about it. But Angel chose the same epigraphy as him, and the scale in his heart began to shift.
David didn't explain this thick stack of books. He just looked at Angel with a smile and let him make his own decision.
Angel didn't notice David's endless thoughts. He purposefully picked out the books he wanted from the pile, flipped through the pages quickly, and then quickly clicked on the materials he wanted to buy.
"12 standard weights of mist silk, 7.8 kilograms of high copper, 11 cups of woolen gravel, 349 grams of ice glue, star cold gold..."
David looked at Angel's skillful selection and suddenly discovered that Angel actually had a blueprint in mind before making the choice. Although the materials he selected were all low-level, there was actually an inherent connection between the two. For example, ice glue and star cold gold seem to be incompatible, but when David went to Master Promi's house once, he heard Promi communicating with another alchemist master, and he mentioned that ice glue is used in the hot melt method. After five minutes, add a certain amount of catalytic powder, which is the best adhesive for star cold gold. High copper is often used in mechanical alchemy and is an ideal material for making gears and other intermediates. Wushu silk is a tough material that cooperates with the rotation of gears. The two are also commonly used in combination.
Angel was able to propose these, obviously he had some ideas. Looking at the other materials he selected, some are resistant to high temperatures, some are highly malleable, and some can support power sources. When all kinds of materials are integrated, it seems that the prototype of some kind of mechanical alchemy can already be seen.
It was only then that the discomfort in David's heart disappeared. Because he could see that Angel did not treat alchemy with a playful attitude, and this was enough for him.
Angel selected a lot of materials, and these materials were actually based on his inner thoughts about alchemical weapons.
"There are 17 kinds of materials in total. If the measurement is calculated according to what you wrote, it will require 1321 contribution points. I will erase the fraction for you and give you 1300." David glanced at the list drawn by Angel and quickly calculated the price. .
1,300 contribution points, worth almost 13 magic crystals, is already a sky-high price for a wizard apprentice. You know, when Angel rented a room, he only spent 500 contribution points. But for Angel, he can still afford this price, and not long ago, he earned 1,000 contribution points from Lady Liana.
I took out my bone card and earned 1,300 contribution points.
The heroic attitude made David feel envious and jealous again.
At this time, the two crystal balls on the table glowed slightly. David glanced at it and said: "The data you requested has been transmitted. I will go to the warehouse to get the materials. Do you want to pick them up now or deliver them to your door?"
"It must be delivered to your door. I don't have space equipment."
"Okay, Chenghui will contribute 10 points."
…
When coming out of Prome Alchemy Shop, Angel went to the Sky Tower again. When he came over, Nausicaa's game had ended and she was taking a nap in the lounge. Angel chatted with Nausicaa for a while, and just as they expected, in the match just now, Nausicaa didn't even pull out her weapon, and she defeated the Immortal Ice King in just a few blows with fists and kicks.
Nausicaa won one game and had no intention of stopping, ready to seize this rare opportunity and continue playing.
Angel left a blessing, said goodbye to her, and returned home to Apprentice Town.
As soon as Toby arrives home, he immediately flies to the attic to start a new chapter with his Echo Flower Band. Angel was sitting in the yard, listening to Toby's "noise concert" and waiting for David to deliver the goods.
The leisurely time passed quickly. Half an hour later, David called four strong men to the door of Angel's house. These four strong men were all ordinary people. They carried several sealed wooden boxes in pairs.
Angel directed them to move the wooden boxes to the basement, and then dismissed them after the inspection was completed and confirmed to be correct.
"Four ordinary people worked hard to get 10 of my contribution points. Your calculations are really good." Angel said sullenly behind David.
David blinked innocently: "You don't have space equipment, do I have it? That's standard equipment for wizards, and we apprentices don't even think about it. So, we must ask ordinary people to deliver it to your door."
Angel waved his hand angrily, "You're so good at what you get, so hurry up and leave."
After David left, Angel went to the basement to sort the materials into categories. By the time everything was completed, the moon had climbed above the head, illuminating the eternal tree with its gleaming light.
Angel dragged his exhausted body and collapsed on the bed. Too many things happened on this day. Although everything turned out to be good in the end, my tired spirit was already tense. I yawned, covered myself with the quilt hastily, and almost closed my eyes. Got sleep.
Early the next morning, Angel came to the quiet room after washing up.
The sequelae of spell backlash have not been completely eliminated, so meditation and spell training need to be postponed. But his study plan remained unchanged. He planned to formally study alchemy theory today.
Alchemy, in Angel's mind, was actually based on chemistry as an analogy. Chemistry is also a subject that transforms the properties of certain elements. To some extent, alchemy is very similar to chemistry. But when he combined Sanders's collection of books with the books recorded in the nightmare world to understand, Angel suddenly discovered that the chemistry of the earth and the alchemy of the wizarding world, although they seemed to be different. Contact, but their essence is still two different things.
Alchemy is a transformation method driven by "mystery". Behind every transformation, there is mysterious energy involved. Even mechanical alchemy requires magic power as its core kinetic energy.
In addition, if you want to learn alchemy, you must also dabble in magic patterns. Use the power of magic patterns to draw out the mysterious energy contained in extraordinary materials, and then construct the most perfect combination. Or, simply use magic patterns as the core and materials as the supplement.
After reading the alchemy theory, Angel's head was as big as a head or two. He thought that learning some alchemy would be enough, but who knew it would also involve magic patterns? It is also an extremely complex subject. Once you learn how to draw magic pattern skin scrolls, you will not be short of magic crystal flowers.
Angel sighed. He really wanted to reach the level of making alchemical weapons in a short time. It seemed that for the time being, he had to start from the technological side of the earth. Mechanical alchemy has a bit of a technological flavor. But at its foundation, it is still based on the extraordinary, so it is completely different from technology.
Angel's current plan is to use the earth's weapons as a blueprint template and cooperate with the alchemy methods of the wizard world to see if he can make a weapon that can deter wizard apprentices.
