"Do you want to buy it? If you do, I can give you a set of art kits." David picked out a black tool kit from somewhere, opened it, and it was full of all kinds of art tools. There are pens, rulers, brushes and knives, and some colored ink.
Angel gritted his teeth: "Buy!"
The balance on the bone card bottomed out in an instant, and Angel also took 7 magic crystals from the small bag around his waist before closing the balance.
"Do you want to deliver it to your door?" David asked with a smile.
Angel immediately waved his hand and refused, "No, I'll go out and hire someone myself."
It took 5o silver coins to hire five big men. Picking up the packed alchemy tools, he returned home in a hurry.
He piled the purchased tools in the basement, and then Angel continued to hire these five big men to go to the market in the apprentice town, and bought a few special experimental benches, as well as simple and comfortable stools.
In the next half of the day, with the help of these big men, Angel's basement was successfully transformed into a laboratory. Although it looks very simple, Angel is already satisfied.
The night was as cold as water. In this freezing cold night, Angel suddenly felt a sense of belonging when he looked at the neat laboratory that he had collected.
In the days that followed, Angel's road to alchemy was smooth sailing.
It took three days for Angel to successfully refine the first work of his alchemy career: a folding fruit knife.
The fruit knife is also one of the drawings of the 3D printer stored by Jon in the holographic tablet. It only needs to build three main parts and two spare parts, and it can be assembled.
- Assembly-type alchemy props are the mainstream mode of mechanical alchemy. Although it may have less technical content than the one-piece model, and its power is also much lower, but because of the convenience and universality of mechanical alchemy, it also has a certain position in the alchemy world.
The wood grain of the folding fruit knife, the handle of the flower branch tree itself is a kind of decoration; after the knife is opened, you can clearly feel the coldness of the blade, and if you look closely, you can even see faint lines on the blade.
The hardness of Earth Demon's blood copper, coupled with the sharpness of the casting water, combined with the two materials that were not of the advanced class, formed a cold front that was hard and cold.
Angel took out the touchstone for testing the sharpness, and with a light stroke, a faint knife mark appeared on the touchstone.
The touchstone is a special tool used by alchemists to test the sharpness of the sharpness. Ordinary soldiers cannot break its shell. Only weapons capable of breaking through the magical defenses of wizard apprentices will leave marks on the touchstone.
Although this fruit knife has no special effects, its texture and sharpness alone have surpassed many ordinary soldiers. The fruit knife can leave marks on the touchstone, which means that it is basically a weapon that can be used by ordinary people.
As a hands-on practice, Angel expressed his satisfaction.
What's more, this weapon is the first alchemy work in his life, and its commemorative significance is greater than its own meaning. Just like the young Sanders' dagger obtained by Angel from the Nightmare Realm, it is only a mortal soldier, but it has a special meaning for Sanders.
Angel decided to keep the fruit knife and happily put the fruit knife in his inner pocket.
Holding back the joy of success, Angel didn't stop, meditated a little and recovered most of his magic power, and then began to refine his second work.
For this work, he still chose the cold weapon in the 3D printing map, or kitchen utensils.
- Chinese kitchen knife.
The reason why he used the Chinese kitchen knife as his second practice was mainly because he wanted to try one-piece molding.
He does not intend to make the Chinese kitchen knife into an assembly-type alchemy prop, but wants to make a one-piece prop in one go directly in the hot-melting method.
One-piece molding is obviously much more difficult than he imagined, and the selection of materials alone makes him exhausted. One-piece molding does not mean that only one material is used, but that the desired props are made in the hot-melting method, and the material is not limited to one.
After many experiments, Angel selected dozens of material collocation methods in the "Material Combination" recorded by Nightmare Realm, and tested them one by one.
If another alchemist wants to match the materials, it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to match the weight of each material. Angel has an alchemy heritage of an unknown school, which makes him skip a lot of steps. More importantly, the things he refines have maps.
Moreover, the 3D map is projected with a holographic flat panel, and there is almost no dead angle in the 72° panorama. Even if Angel sometimes doesn't understand the reason, he can make a generalization by drawing a gourd.
Five days later, Angel's Chinese kitchen knife finally took shape.
The seamless hilt and blade flashed a cold and cold light. This kitchen knife still has no special effects. After all, Angel has never learned magic patterns, does not understand magic energy arrays, and has not put special materials and catalysts in it. In the end, he wants to produce special effects, which is minimal.
With a wave of Angel, the Chinese kitchen knife easily slashed nearly 1 cm on the touchstone.
"One-piece molding is indeed better than assembling." Angel thought to himself, just holding it in his hand, he felt a sense of harmony.
After the successful production of the Chinese kitchen knife, Angel's heart also became wild.
He decided to make a series of Chinese style weapons.
The reason why he did this is not because of his feelings, but purely to practice his hands and to be familiar with the combination of various materials.
Ten days later, Angel walked out of the underground laboratory with smoke and dust. At this time, on one side of the underground laboratory, there were three weapons.
A sword, a knife, a stab.
The sword is a three-foot Qingfeng sword, the sword is a sheathless Tang sword, and the thorn is a double-held Emei thorn.
Of these three weapons, except for the Emei thorns, which are formed in one piece, the knives and swords are all only of the grade of a folding fruit knife. Angel estimated that he could sell one or two magic crystals if he sold them. But he has no plans to export for the time being, after all, he is pressed for time. Moreover, although these weapons are considered alchemical weapons, they are also the bottom ones, and it is possible for mortal blacksmiths to refine them.
Angel was suffocating in the basement for several days, gave himself a half-day vacation, rested and relaxed for a while, and returned to the quiet room again.
The basic plate of alchemy works is actually the mastery of heat, shaping, and condensation, which Angel has roughly mastered. The various cold weapons he made a few days ago were actually the basics of alchemy.
But learning these things does not mean that Angel has become an alchemy apprentice, at most a top blacksmith in the mortal world.
The real alchemy lies in the props it refines, and it has extraordinary effects.
The so-called common, such as equipment with amplification effects, machines that can stabilize energy, weapons that can release spells, props with special effects, and more magical and indescribable abilities. Even space props and time props can be realized through alchemy.
Angel's goal is naturally this alchemy tool.
If you want to make alchemy props with special effects, generally speaking, you can do it through the following methods:
First, magic pattern. In the process of alchemy, with the properties of the materials, adding the corresponding magic patterns can play a role in promoting each other, and finally get the special effects.
Second, the magic energy array. This calculation belongs to the magic pattern, which is an upgraded version of the magic pattern.
Third, guide the particularity of the material.
Of course, there are other means, but the mainstream is these three.
Among them, the first two are also called "enchanting", and the third is called "blending".
In the alchemy world, enchanting is just a trail, and blending is the most orthodox method.
And if the blending is good, the effect of the finished alchemy is far from enchanting. Because through the enchantment of magic pattern and magic energy array, to make alchemy props have special effects, it also needs the cooperation of the corresponding material properties, not just what you want to portray; there are great restrictions.
In the case of blending, the particularity of a certain material is thoroughly expressed through the combination of materials. For example, under certain special conditions, Dongjin and Ice Crow Feather can lead out the icy effects of the material itself through the reconciliation of dozens of different catalytic liquids.
The alchemy props produced in this way, the ice-cold special effects can be relied on in materials of any nature, and will not be restricted by enchanting, and the effect is much more powerful than enchanting.
If Angel wants to go further on the road of alchemy, he must choose the third option: blending.
But in order to cope with the upcoming towering, Angel decided to take a shortcut: Enchanting.
He took out "Basics of Alchemy" and started to learn how to enchant step by step.
If you want to learn enchanting, you must first understand the magic pattern.
Magic pattern study has its own set of words, or in other words, each pattern in the magic pattern is a word, which represents many worldly truths.
For example, the magic pattern of a ripening plant contains principles including weather, humidity, soil, seasons, etc. These weather, humidity, soil, seasons... all represent a pattern, and arranging these patterns according to the predetermined value is a complete magic pattern.
A true magic pattern apprentice must start from the meaning of each pattern. The basic 600,000 patterns have different meanings, and even some have the same meaning. Because of the different seasons of expression, different patterns will be derived. . It's like the same texture that expresses "sunset", because one is winter sunset and the other is summer sunset, so there are different textures.
Angel naturally did not have this patience, so he memorized the 600,000 basic textures.
For alchemists, it is usually forcibly memorized the complete magic pattern pattern and re-engraved it into the alchemy tool without understanding the meaning of each pattern.
Roughly speaking, it is to draw a scoop according to the gourd.
But it is not easy to draw a scoop according to the gourd.
Because of the magic pattern, it also requires stable magic power and a long period of characterization, and no mistakes can be made in the middle.
For example, depict a complete magic pattern - the wave magic pattern. In a huge circular pattern, there are tens of thousands of lines in different directions and corners, and finally combined into a wave magic pattern. The alchemist must control the output of magic power during the alchemy process, and draw the magic pattern on the alchemy tool stroke by stroke.
Moreover, when depicting the magic pattern, whether there is a slight difference in spacing, direction and size, it basically means failure.
Because of this, there are not many alchemists who choose to "enchant".
But for Angel, "enchanting" is very suitable for him.
