"—Hey, didn't I clearly reject it, why are you still here?" After greeting the Wenli family, Edward, who came to the dilapidated and shabby rural railway station with his younger brother, said to "No, no, no. Rao" Liz and others expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Even if you say that, we have to go to the big city from the train station. This... um, the 'relaxed and quiet' mountain village is not suitable for us." Most of the people in the house, including Leeds, were looking forward to this other world. It would be fine if someone taught Alchemy here. Now... there is no reason to waste time here.
As for why you don't spend the night outside first, and then leave during the day, you can build a house anywhere if you don't bring your own MC system? That's because when they left the main world, it was broad daylight not long after they woke up, and now they really can't fall asleep.
"...Humph!" The first point is to call out "Xiaodouding" unconsciously, the second point is the indignity of "Alchemy" in the words, and the third point is the superficial implicit evaluation of the village, the three are superimposed , Edward didn't have a good opinion of Leeds... It's just that his heart was bigger than his height, and he didn't say anything. He held his head happily and waited for the arrival of the train.
"Although I don't know what's going on on your side, but don't spread your bad temper on others~" The child who even set fire to his own house must have a story, and Liz is still trying to communicate, "Anyway, it's time to wait for the train. Boring, why don't you take the time to explain Alchemy to us?"
"Don't bother me, people who don't even have the basics will go to the library to make up lessons first." By the way, the relevant books in the folk library only play the role of popularizing common sense, and no one can learn "Alchemy" through that thing. . The real professional books are either hidden in the alchemist's home or collected by the government.
"Tsk, you really aren't cute..." Liz shrugged.
"Who's a child!" Edward, now 15, thought he was an adult.
"Brother!" Al hurriedly stood up and blocked Edward's stare with his huge body. He should be used to this kind of peacemaker role... After he had a good temper, he pushed his brother back to his seat and really came over. "Then... If you don't mind, how about I explain it?"
"Huh? You too?" Liz said in surprise.
"Well... Although not as powerful as my brother..." As a 14-year-old boy, Al is already a genius, but there is a slightly better Edward next to him.
"But, aren't you an armor puppet? Is it empty inside...?" Liz exchanged glances with Zhao Yun, Daji, etc. Well, he was not mistaken.
"Hey, this...?" Al was also taken aback for a moment. How could anyone see it
"If you say that, did the previous 'brother' really say..." Liz was still thinking about the name of the name. Judging from the knowledge that Al claims to have, it seems that Edward is not out of his own bad taste. Name the puppet.
"Really, thank you for finding out..." Al said in surprise, um, probably Edward was the same, but unfortunately he was short, completely blocked by his brother's huge body, and completely disappeared from everyone's sight, "I was originally too Humans, become like this... There are some reasons that are inconvenient to say." Al's voice suddenly lost.
"Heh, it seems that Alchemy is more powerful than I thought..." Liz didn't force others to reveal his privacy, the relationship between the two parties is not at this level, "Then can you explain Alchemy to us now? To be honest, my interest has suddenly increased several times!"
The people behind Leeds also nodded secretly. Except for Leon, no one was interested in the technology of "turning a stone into gold", but if it rises to "fixing the soul", it is another matter.
"This..." Al pondered for a while, but quickly adjusted his mind, "May I ask how much you understand about Alchemy?"
"Probably the knowledge of 'throwing a lot of ingredients into a pot to boil, then stirring with a large spoon, and finally coming out of something that is impossible in common sense'?" Really, this is the traditional "alchemy" technique" impression.
only…
"What is that~?" The alchemy in this world is a bit non-mainstream, "The real Alchemy comes from quite rigorous science."
"???" Isn't alchemy something on the magic side, why did it go to the science side
"Uh, it's a bit difficult to explain in words, let me demonstrate to you..." Al squatted down, took out a piece of chalk from the armor that was the "body" at this time, and scribbled on the floor of the platform.
The first is a circle, which is obviously drawn by freehand, but it is rounded as if using a compass. This is also the craftsmanship of alchemists over time. Then there is the addition of simple lines inside the circle. This time, it is a circle that is also like using a ruler An ordinary square; finally, some strange runes were written inside. Since Liz couldn't understand it, it was definitely not a common language in this world.
"This is the foundation, the real alchemy is like this—" Al put away the chalk, and suddenly pressed his hands on the pattern he had drawn.
The pattern emits a faint white light, and the concrete floor in the circle seems to be partially extracted, and a small concrete bird emerges from the upward bulge.
"This is—?!" Unlike the alchemy he imagined, Rao Liz was also quite surprised.
"Haha, you can't cause trouble to the stationmaster..." Al laughed, and immediately patted the ground again to make the ground return to its original state.
"Let me try it?" Liz, who was very interested, walked over quickly and pressed his hands on the pattern in a similar way.
- No half-point response.
"Although this is a reasonable result." If the alchemist draws the figure well, and the effect can be activated by pressing one hand with both hands, then this technique is too convenient. However, "But it's not right. Seeing something strange..." There is no such thing as internal power, magic power, spiritual power, etc. flowing into the pattern. In other words, Aldu has become a pair of armor, where can there be such power.
"Haha, to use alchemy, you need to be familiar with the material and the structure and properties of the substance you want to make. Only by thinking about the principles and results in your mind can you realize the alchemy process." Al smiled and explained that alchemy is not that simple. s things.
"...so troublesome? Structure and properties..." Liz thought for a while and found sadly that, at his own level, he only knew the structure of water and ice - the former was disordered, and the latter was combined into a hexagonal crystal structure through hydrogen bonding .
"Can you draw me a pattern of water turning into ice? I want to try it out," Liz asked.
"Yes, yes, but water..." Al looked around, there seemed to be nothing nearby...
"Ah, I have it here." Liz took out a bucket of water from her backpack.
"… Eh?"
"Varied-?!"
"Alchemy" cannot "create something out of nothing", this is the common sense of alchemists.
"Huh?" However, Liz is not using alchemy, so there is no need to follow this principle.
