Taking advantage of Aili Ke's trance, Du Wei tried his best to memorize this list. For a while, I couldn't help memorizing the list of magic plants and the dosage in the formula. By the time Ailike recovered from his senses, Du Wei had already quietly put the formula on the expensive polar metal test bench.
Old Ailike's complexion was extremely ugly, his eyelids were drooping, and he lost all pride and complacency just now, and suddenly he moved his lips, and whispered to himself: "Could it be...have I been wasting time all these years? Sigh... yes! That's right! I was conceited and wise enough to decide that in this field, there is no one higher than me in the entire magic guild. Alas, it turned out that I was too conceited. No wonder those guys didn't take my inventions seriously. Even I My disciples are not optimistic about me. Well... popularization, popularization! If the cost of the invented thing is higher than the original one, then what's the point! My place is really a waste of time!"
After finishing speaking, there was a flash of determination in Aili Ke's eyes, he shook his robe, and a green flame shot out from his sleeve, and shot at the sheepskin file on the table, and the sheepskin file instantly melted in the flames For ashes. The emerald green flame was extremely strange, and the emerald green flame lingered, but only burned the parchment scroll, leaving no trace on the metal table.
Seeing that old Alley was so lost, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little guilty. But what he said is actually not wrong, but the cost is naturally extremely expensive to others. But for him, Du Wei, having the "time lapse" spring water that can stimulate the vitality of all living things, no matter how expensive and rare magic plants are, it is easier for him to cultivate than Chinese cabbage!
only. This secret cannot be told to others.
"Master Eric." Du Wei hesitated. Slowly said: "I don't think you need to be so disappointed. In fact, in my opinion, you are the most outstanding magic inventor I have ever met! Flying broomsticks. And your "Blood of Eric", They are all things I have never heard of before. Simply speaking, this creativity and idea are unprecedented."
"What's the use of that! Hmph! The things that are produced have no practical use value at all! After the blood of Arico is produced, the cost may be more than double that of Mithril! The substitute is more expensive than the original product. All expensive. It's a joke."
"That's not what you said." Du Wei shook his head: "At least you have proposed a new way of thinking. And the new way you have proved with your actual actions is feasible! It turns out that no one has ever successfully found a replacement. Mithril stuff, but you found it. Even if this product is not very successful, at least it has inspired others and let everyone discover another possibility! I can guarantee that in the future, there will be more magicians who study your way Invention. Perhaps in the near future, someone will be able to improve your formula and reduce costs. Or simply find a new way! The greatest significance of your invention is "proving that you can find something to replace Mithril ", just in this sense, it is already a great discovery!"
Only then did Aili come back to his senses, and looked at this kid carefully from top to bottom, only to feel that the little guy's words really suited his taste, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it was to his eyes, so he couldn't help sighing: "Oh! What a pity! You He is the most admired boy I have ever met in my life, my stupid apprentices. None of them can compare to you. If I met you earlier, I must find a way to accept you as an apprentice. In my whole life, I have no other skills It’s nothing, I just like to get some novel magic props, these things, after I die, I’m afraid no one will inherit them. Alas, it’s a pity that you are the disciple of Master Gandolf, so I can’t teach you anymore.”
Du Wei rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Why can't you teach? Do you have to be my teacher before you are willing to teach? You must have a master-student relationship. Can you teach me things?"
In the magic circle of Roland mainland, magic knowledge has always been privately taught by masters and apprentices. If you are not a disciple, you will definitely not be able to learn your own magic. It's pretty much the traditional rule. But Du Wei's words fell into the ears of the old lunatic. He was originally a weird person, and he was not angry when he heard it. The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt.
"Well! I don't teach him any magic spells. I just pass on my ability to make magic props to him. It's not a violation of the rules... Moreover, I heard that the chairman and the royal family talked about it after the summer festival. There are results. At that time, the rules taught by master and apprentice will probably be broken. What else do I have to be afraid of?"
Thinking of this, Ali slapped his head: "Okay! As long as you are willing to learn, from today onwards, you can come to me anytime, and I will teach you how to make magic props!"
The old monster cheered up again, and chatted casually with Du Wei for a while. Alley can be regarded as the leading master of making magic props in the magic guild, and he is very good at all kinds of magic plants in his life. Warcraft, as well as all kinds of magic crystal gems have been immersed in research for more than a hundred years, and the cultivation base in this aspect can be said to be the first person in the mainland.
And Du Wei is a freak, he spent so many years, nothing else, just sitting in the room reading all day. He has been a human being in two lives, and the knowledge of his previous life, together with the knowledge of magic on Roland's continent, can often collide with some wonderful sparks. In addition, he has read a lot of books, and he has a lot of knowledge in his heart. The more the old and the younger talked about it, the more speculative it became. Every time Alley remembered that this guy was already Gandolf's apprentice, and that he was his peer in terms of seniority, he couldn't accept an apprentice, so he couldn't help but beat his chest.
The two chatted for a while, and then Du Wei mentioned that his original intention of coming today was for the broomstick. Alley could not help but blushed when he heard this, and he hesitated for a long time before sighing and explaining the truth.
It turned out that the broomstick, like this "Arico's Blood", was a flashy thing. The cost of that broomstick is probably more expensive than three or four wind magic circles!
usually. Like Duverty's
The cost of the flying cloak and the magic crystal used is about 20,000 gold coins. As for the old Alley's broomstick, although the crystal can be used without crystals, the cost of construction is probably even more terrible! I'm afraid I can't even get out without seventy or eighty thousand gold coins!
"The broom, in fact, the key lies in the material used to make the broom. Although crystals can be used...but..."
Eric took out the broom. Carefully explain on a metal test bench. Du Wei was originally a smart person, after hearing it. It was immediately clear.
Ordinary brooms are mostly made of dry branches, and this flying broom is no exception. However, in order not to use magic crystals, this "twig" is no ordinary branch!
"Magic crystals are considered necessary for arranging magic circles. Because there is really no other thing that can store magic power better than crystals. However, after decades of research, I found that wood is the only one. Things that don’t reject magic and are convenient. It’s just that the nature of storing magic is far worse than that of crystals. So, I thought. Can wood replace crystals... "
Du Wei's heart moved, this old Elric's idea was actually the same as that big-headed genius in the wand shop... well, that guy named Seth. There are similarities in the same purpose!
really. Old Ailike continued: "I have studied magic crystals for decades, and spent countless thoughts to decompose the components of the crystals, and then I researched a result: the reason why crystals can store magic power is because there is a special The composition of the ground, I call it "magic crystal". I used many kinds of materials to dissolve and crush the crystal many times, and finally I used a magnifying glass that I specially created to magnify objects a thousand times. land!"
As he said that, Ailike moved out a rough instrument about half a meter high from under the metal table. Du Wei couldn't help being stunned when he saw it... This is exactly like the microscope he saw in his previous life. But many times bigger. The shape is also a bit weird.
"I found out that it is precisely because of the tiny existence of this "magic crystal". Crystals can store magic power. So I thought, if I can find magic crystals in other substances, then it can replace magic crystals." Alley laughed and said: "I have experimented with many things. I have not experimented with other magic gemstones that are similar to crystals, because the type is similar to crystals and have no research value. I have experimented with so many things that you can't imagine, from plants From ordinary ores. In the end, even the bones of monsters were tested by me. Finally, I suddenly thought of it. Plants are actually the best choice. You know, wood. The best place to make magic items. It is walnuts wood, and it must be over 50 years old.”
Alley laughed a bit, and continued: "Later, I found out that this "magic crystal" component is also found in wood. It's just that the content in wood is too small. Among them, the best wood is walnut. But the content is far lower than that of crystals by more than ten times. But I can't find any other substances, so I have to use wood as an experiment... "
Aili Ke then said the local method, which opened Du Wei's eyes. He used various things to refine the seeds of walnut, cultivated the seedlings in various ways, and even created several mutated and weird plants. In the end, a small amount of strange minerals were produced in a kind of walnut geological soil, which is the so-called "magic crystal".
"I have spent a lot of thought, but this kind of walnut seedlings that I specially cultivated are extremely difficult to survive! I spent several years of hard work, and most of the seedlings died, leaving only a few... Alas, Originally, walnut trees should live for more than 50 years. But how can I wait for 50 years? Just the few seedlings left here, I am afraid that they will wither and die in less than a year. Moreover, I newly cultivated Although this kind of seedling contains some "magic crystals" in it, it has a fatal weakness, that is, the repeated use rate is very low! And it is extremely unstable! The magic crystal inside will break and lose its effectiveness at some point. As for... the few times I started experimenting, two of my apprentices flew up with this kind of broom. But they almost didn't fall to death!"
"Fell to death?" Du Wei's eyes widened: "Your apprentices are at least intermediate magicians! Even if the broom fails, at least they can fly up by themselves with wind magic, and they will never fall down, right? "
"Huh!" Ai Like stared at him: "Those guys, they are bullying me! Let them help me experiment. They push and push! The first guy, he helped me test this kind of broom. But secretly Put the broom under the crotch, and quietly cast the flying technique to fly up! Hehe, you are cheating me like this!! Think I can’t see it! Later, before they experimented, I used magic to seal their magic power, so that They can't use magic!"
Du Wei's scalp went numb!
After thinking for a while, Du Wei said, "The few seedlings you planted. How many more? Can you give me one?"
Aili waved his hand: "Whatever! Now my heart is cold... Alas, if you hadn't reminded me, I would still be on the verge of death. These seedlings I worked so hard to think could replace the magic crystal, but I didn't expect the cultivation of these seedlings The energy and cost of investing in it are much higher than crystals. It’s really not worth the candle... If you like it, it doesn’t matter if you take it all away.”
finished. Aili Ke turned around and walked to a warehouse at the back, after a while. A few small flower pots were brought out, and there were indeed a few seedlings that seemed to grow extremely "difficult" in them, and the branches and leaves glowed with a strange metallic color. But judging by his half-dead appearance, it is estimated that old Alley may have spoken a big word just now.
What can't survive a year! I'm afraid it would be nice to live for three months!
"And this, this is the blueprint for making a broom." Ailike handed over a roll of sheepskin: "There is a blueprint for a miniature earth-wind magic formation in my special facility. When making it, the magic formation was engraved on the broom. The stalk and the tube are fine. Actually, there is nothing complicated in the process, but this kind of plant is too precious. Du Wei carefully put it away one by one, and those few seedlings were also carefully put into his magic bag. .
Old Aili took a look at Du Wei's magic baggage, frowned and said, "Is this your space storage item? It looks too old..."
But then he smiled and said: "Well, this burden is left to you by Master Gandolf, right? No wonder, Master Gandolf practices pure magic. He is not very good at making props. I will give you some Good stuff."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and climbed from a row of shelves on the wall. I took out a wooden box with a simple shape, and after opening it, a row of decorations were neatly placed inside. Necklaces, rings, bracelets, and more.
"These are all space storage items, and the storage space inside is much larger than your magic baggage. I usually made them for fun when I have nothing to do. Give them all to you!"
Du Wei is overjoyed! He has long felt that it is inconvenient not to have a suitable storage item around him. Although this magic bag is good, the style is too ugly after all, and it carries a bag with it. After all, there is no such thing as more convenient to mount small objects on the body.
He was not as polite as old Aili, and put the box into his arms with a smile.
Old Alley had a tearful sale today. Also because of depression. Suddenly, he felt all hope was lost, seeing the kid in front of him so pleasing to the eye, he couldn't help but make these actions. He gave away such things. Sighing: "I'm over one hundred and fifty years old, and I don't know how many years I can live. I'm afraid I can't improve my life with these studies. Come to me when you have time in the future. My things, Pass it on to you one by one. Alas..."
Du Wei's expression froze, he took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Master Aric... I will definitely find a way to make these inventions of yours flourish!"
The mood of experimenting with the broomstick that was originally planned was gone, and Du Wei was fine anyway. Simply take this opportunity to ask Aili Ke for advice on magic. Ailike has been immersed in knowledge for a lifetime, how profound it is, especially he is good at making magic props, and he is also the top alchemist on the mainland! For the understanding of the properties, uses, ingredients, etc. of various magic materials, how can the simple records in the documents that Du Wei has read compare
Old Aili was also interested, and simply moved out a lot of cherished things from the warehouse. Walking on the instrument one by one, decomposing, melting, heating... and so on, after the process, Du Wei can be regarded as gaining a lot of knowledge, and more importantly, every time he finishes teaching one thing, the old Aili can They will generously give a copy of the same thing to Du Wei to keep it back and study it slowly.
In less than half a day, Du Wei's magic baggage was almost fully stored. If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of shady things in his magic bag, he would have cleared the inventory in the bag in front of Ali Ke.
Neither had lunch. In the afternoon, Old Ailike just showed a blood called "Tuniai Tripod Dragon", which is used to soak weapons to strengthen the metal strength.
"... This kind of three-legged dragon is actually a kind of dragon. But it is a descendant of the lowest dragon and other monsters. It is a low-level creature without any intelligence. But because of the blood of the dragon, this dragon The blood of this kind of creature is a very good reinforcing fluid, which can make weapons, shields, and even directly smeared on the human body, it can make it more than twice as strong... "
After finishing speaking, Du Wei accepted a small bottle of this red-black blood.
In the end, Alley sighed, glanced at the sky outside the window, and said with a smile: "It's getting late today. I have something to do tonight to find another old monster downstairs. Let's go here today!"
At this moment, Du Wei is full of respect for this old Aili Ke. This guy is definitely a genius old monster. After studying with him for a day, Du Wei felt that he had learned a lot. If I can come here every day and study hard with this old monster for a period of time, it will be of great benefit to my magic cultivation... Not to mention, the old monster has collected all kinds of things that the outside world has never seen. A rare treasure. It was enough to open Du Wei's eyes!
Du Wei was about to say goodbye. Old Ailike suddenly asked: "By the way... I heard from the chairman that after the summer festival, you will be assessed for your magic level?"
"Yes." Du Wei nodded.
"Well..." Aili touched his nose, nodded and said: "That's right! As a closed disciple of Master Gandolf, how can he have no rank. It's not good to wear only a robe of a magician. You can't I've lost Gandolf's face... Let me ask you. How are you preparing for the magic level assessment? Which department of magic are you majoring in?"
major? Which department
Du Wei was a little stunned.
Seeing the embarrassment on Du Wei's face, Old Alley frowned and said, "What about your magic power? When you helped me with the experiment in the afternoon, you used it a few times. I can see it too. It can reach about level five. Considering your magic power Age. It is already a rare genius. But the magic level assessment is not just to evaluate the level of magic power. Which department of magic are you best at?"
Du Wei was really in a dilemma.
Now it seems. Although his magic power is good, he has very few magic spells. Although he knows a lot of great magicians. Gandolf, Vivienne, Joanna, and even Gargamel the mouse are all very good magicians.
But there are not many magic spells that Du Wei knows. Now it seems. The most commonly used ones are the few lowest-level superficial magic spells learned from Solskjaer's lowest-level first-level magician. Such as the fire element to fireball. The lowest level of the wind element, the wind blade...
Not to mention advanced magic, not even an intermediate magic!
... Vivienne taught herself a few powerful things
