In an ancient castle, people were coming and going. This was a college located in the Kingdom of Ekri. It was called Golden Oak Civilian College. However, it was not a college for extraordinary professionals, but a college for ordinary scholars. A large number of students were coming in and out on the lawn outside the castle. Boys and girls were sitting on the lawn and under the big trees, full of youthful vitality.
But at the bottom of this castle, there are secret experimental institutions and laboratories. There are many alchemists, wizards, scholars and various theorists gathered inside, including extraordinary people and ordinary people.
In the underground laboratory with alchemical gas lamps lit, you can see large machinery, alchemy tables, and rectangular iron work tables everywhere. There are a large number of drawings scattered on the table and charcoal pencils thrown everywhere. As early as One or two hundred years ago, charcoal pens gradually replaced quill pens. Nowadays, people prefer to use the latest fountain pens. However, charcoal pens are still popular among ordinary people because they are easy to modify and cheap.
This underground laboratory is very large, with complete alchemy equipment and systems. The alchemy benches also come in various models and types. For refining different alchemy artifacts, this can be called a medium-sized alchemy workshop. As for large-scale alchemy workshops, only kingdoms and churches with huge funds, strength, and large talent reserves can build them.
At this moment, a large number of laboratory personnel, whether they are extraordinary people or ordinary scholars, are standing on the rusty iron corridor on the upper floor, either on the table, or on the stairs pressing the handrail. Looking out, watching the actions of the person in the center, everyone looked nervous and full of expectation.
"Holy and beautiful goddess!"
"Your bright and dazzling light shines on the earth!"
"Let everyone... sizzle... let everyone... sizzle"
"Snapped!"
Alva slapped the magic sound machine, and instantly heard the sizzling sound like a cassette disappearing, and the melodious female singing music sounded again. This was a modified version of the magic sound machine. The device, called the Magic Sound Machine, is a fashionable gadget that has appeared in recent years. From it, you can listen to the times and news from various countries, stage plays, operas and beautiful music.
The function is somewhat similar to that of a radio, but the magic sound machine and the magic report machine receive information by receiving the oscillation signal of the mental force wave. However, this new gadget can currently receive not many channels, and the ones that can be purchased are There are some winners in life who have money and status, and there are not a few program broadcast stations organized by magic sound machine merchants in the Kingdom of Holima.
Moreover, the magic sound machines sold by the Kingdom of Holima have built-in shielding to prevent them from receiving the mental fluctuation signals of foreign broadcast stations, because some surrounding countries often promote their products in radio programs or in their news. God, and discredited the Kingdom of Holima and the Lord of the Night, but Alva's magic sound machine has been modified by him, and now plays the broadcast from the Church of Light.
"Pop!" This is the sound of pressing a mechanical button.
"Recently, civilian riots broke out again in the Arabel Province within the Kingdom of Akhenaten. The Sumeron royal family and the military took action. A large number of civilians were brutally killed, and some mercenary organizations participated in the resistance..."
"Snapped!"
"The Mining Alliance of the Gracchu Principality has collapsed. Because the Gracchu Kingdom's mining resources are increasingly scarce, the Gracchu Kingdom has to take measures to expand externally..."
Alva adjusted a few channels again, then turned around, his eyes flashing with excitement and madness, and he high-fived Frank and Wilbert behind him and jumped up.
Frank danced happily: "It worked, it really worked!"
Suddenly, hundreds of people in the entire laboratory jumped to their feet, cheers rose to the sky, and everyone was excited.
Wilbert patted Alva on the shoulder: "Alva, you are really a genius, the most beloved alchemist of the Goddess of Steam and Machinery. You have accomplished such a thing!"
"Of course, for me, this is not difficult at all!"
"We have taken the first step and really made it possible for ordinary people to use alchemy tools!"
That's right, after Alva's transformation, the magic sound machine was activated without any extraordinary person stimulating or providing power. His internal alchemy device was activated and is still running.
The foundation of alchemy originates from alchemical life. From the large floating city to the smallest alchemical props, it is an exploration of the path of creating alchemical life. In every alchemical prop, you can see the reference of alchemical life. and principles.
The same is true for the latest magic sound machine. It can be fundamentally regarded as the prototype of an alchemical life, but it is like a plant. It does not have intelligence, but has instincts, and the instincts given to her by alchemists are among them. The alchemy devices are just like their organs. They can receive special fluctuations of mental power and then play them through the speakers.
But they also need to consume energy. Their batteries are extraordinary beings. Extraordinary beings extract source matter through their own consciousness and merge it into spiritual power. Every time they use extraordinary power, they will consume their own spiritual power. They must communicate afterwards. The magic network can only be restored by meditation. The power of spiritual power is the name of the tower, while others are also called divine power, magic power, death power and various other names.
And Alva suddenly had a whim, so instead of using extraordinary people, they create an energy source to replace extraordinary people. Extraordinary people use mental power to control alchemy props. As long as they create a mechanically controlled device, ordinary people can also Use alchemy tools to control extraordinary power.
They relied on the incomplete manufacturing blueprints and theoretical support they obtained when they stole the Kingdom of Ekri, and combined with the suggestions and experiments of a large number of extraordinary people and scholars, they spent several years to create a Special crystal.
It is not a Philosopher's Stone made from a huge source of matter, but a special crystal that can bind and store spiritual power, divine power, and magic power. Extraordinary people can infuse their own power into it, and then recover it through meditation through the magic network of communication. , and then store it. An ordinary apprentice can store a crystal stone several times.
"However, the manufacturing cost is still a bit high, and it still requires charging by a transcendent." Frank expressed his opinion after getting excited.
Alva nodded, seemingly a little dissatisfied: "Yes, but this is a first-generation product, just like the first-generation alchemy platform. Who could have imagined the functions and capabilities of the current alchemy platform."
"We will definitely be able to mass-produce these cute little guys in the future, and they don't need to be charged by extraordinary people. They can store more power and activate more powerful alchemy items."
Wilbert said: "Then what should we call this stone? We should give it a name."
Alva opened the box of the magic sound machine, and a translucent crystal inlaid into the slot like a crystal pillar was extracted by Alva. It was only the size of two fingers in his hand. Everyone looked at it, especially the ordinary people present. Scholars, I feel that the crystal light blooming is not the light of power, but the light of hope.
"It does not belong to divine power, nor does it belong to extraordinary beings, nor does it belong to the power of priests or gods. It belongs to the magical power of all mortals. Let's call it magic crystal!" Alva, as its maker, named it himself.
——————————
The birth of the magic crystal allowed ordinary people to use extraordinary abilities. With the renovation of the alchemy laboratories of Alva and Golden Oak College, various special alchemy props began to appear, and the magic crystal version of the alchemy props that ordinary people can use also began to appear.
Then they spent a lot of time, Frank, Alva and Wilbert went through time to transform and improve, and gradually perfected the manufacturing and system of magic crystal alchemy props.
Frank and Alva established new magic crystal alchemy tool workshops in the Kingdom of Eric, recruited many like-minded wizard apprentices and alchemists, and began to produce and manufacture magic crystals and various Magic crystal alchemy props.
As soon as various magic crystal alchemy tools were sold or notified that they could be ordered, all the civilians in the city went crazy about them. People in the whole city were talking about them, and many wealthy families or businessmen made purchases.
"Oh my god, this is really a crazy creation!" At the entrance of the alchemy workshop, a crowd of people looked at their friend using a witchcraft mining drill, and all opened their mouths.
"You read that right, everyone can use it, no matter whether you are God's darling or God's favored person, everyone is equal in front of the magic crystal alchemy tools!" Frank stood on the stage and shouted crazily.
"Ordinary people can also use it. Why do we need such a gadget? As long as we find a transcendent person, we can recharge it repeatedly? So how long can it be used?" A businessman asked, raising his hand.
"I want to buy a customized alchemy table for glass products, so that I can recruit some ordinary people at home to produce it!" A handicraft workshop owner was very excited. In this era, their kind of handicraft workshops are gradually being replaced by alchemy workshops. The workshops produced various goods in batches, which were cheap, beautiful, and of good quality, so they gradually lost their ability to survive. At this moment, the appearance of a standard alchemy table that could be used by ordinary people made him crazy.
"Buy, buy, buy, you must buy!"
"I want a small steam locomotive that ordinary people can control, so that I can support everyone in my family by transporting goods or doing business." A fat worker was also moved at this moment.
"I want to customize one..."
In addition, some official institutions in the city, which originally only recruited professionals and extraordinary people, as well as some business firms, have also begun to recruit ordinary people.
Various amazing scenes began to appear in the Kingdom of Eric. Ordinary people began to take up occupations that originally required extraordinary people. They drove steam locomotives, airships, and alchemy ships. Ordinary workers could also control assembly lines for alchemy. They can process finished products on the platform and manufacture various daily necessities. They can become airship combatants and can control magic crystal cannons and witchcraft props.
You can become a magic telegraph machine, a radio station host, a city alchemy facility maintenance worker, a city system manager, and even a wizard tower manager. You can control and adjust the climate, purify fertile soil, and control equipment to become a mining worker. These things originally require extraordinary people. The person is responsible for it.
Everyone who enters the Kingdom of Eric is amazed by the discoveries and sights here. Many people are crazy about the existence of magic crystals and the emergence of new magic crystal alchemy tools. Businessmen flock here crazily, and ordinary people spend all their money. If you have enough money, you must also purchase or order a standard alchemy table that ordinary people can control. Although it cannot make items at will, it can make specific alchemy daily necessities.
Standing on the clock tower in the capital of the Kingdom of Eric, Frank, Alva and Wilbert were standing or sitting, looking at the entire city. The sun was about to set at this moment, and the afterglow fell on the earth. From the clock The top of the tower overlooks the entire city. You can see the city clearly. Everything is so clear and vivid.
The city that was once lifeless and mired in despair is now blooming with life again. No, it's not that it's blooming again, but it's far more than before. The entire Eric Kingdom has been reborn, and all of this has appeared from their hands. They have initially achieved their goal, allowing Eric to Ordinary people in the kingdom integrated into this era.
"We have taken another big step forward. Currently, we are just a small Eric, a small country with a population of less than 100,000, with one city and seven or eight villages. But in the future, we will make the entire world become a small country. Rick." Frank stood on the edge of the clock tower, looking extremely dangerous, embracing the sunset and shouting happily.
"The newest students of Golden Oak, after studying, they can know the formula and use the alchemy table to make magic potions that only the Harvest Goddess priests and mages know how to make. In the future, by controlling the alchemy table, they will definitely be able to do something The creation of simple extraordinary alchemy items is something that can already be expected."
"And in the unpredictable future, they can do more things that we can't imagine currently, and ordinary people can also become the figures leading the entire extraordinary era." Although Alva's face was expressionless, his eyes betrayed him. He felt pride and anticipation in equal measure.
Wilbert had a witchcraft sword slung around his waist. He was squatting on the bell tower with one foot and one foot was hanging down, looking a little lazy.
"I will help you and protect our common dream."
The three people looked at each other at the top of Eric's central clock tower, and then laughed at the same time.
However, the good times did not last long. Before they could fully implement the magic crystal plan in Eric, the army and combat airships of the Kingdom of Holima rushed into Eric. A large number of soldiers and priests of the Lord of the Night gathered in Holland. The border of the Kingdom of Lima crossed into Eric's land.
The Holima Kingdom, which covets the method of making magic crystals, and the aristocracy that does not want to see the rise of common people, would rather take the method of making magic crystals and the authority to use magic crystal props into their own hands. The magic crystals will allow The power controlled by extraordinary beings is larger and more convenient, which can also double the military power of the Holima Kingdom, completely overwhelming the Golden Rose Kingdom with which they often have frictions and border territorial disputes.
After discovering the existence of the magic crystal, the royal family of the Kingdom of Holima and the pope of the Dark Night God immediately discovered the potential and terror of this thing. It would threaten their original ruling class, and the Mudlegs and mortals would also be threatened. How is it possible to be able to use the power of God, and this power is still in the hands of a small neighboring country that they have ignored before.
"This power must be in our hands, instead of letting those dirty civilians taint the power of God!"
"No, they are not tainting God's power, they have the power of demons."
"We must punish Eric and the devil's apostles who used the power of the devil, and let these blasphemers be wiped out by the power of God."
