Du Dian looked at the powder in some bottles and jars on the table next to her. There were labels on these bottles and jars, but there were no words on the labels, but various strange symbols were drawn, some were the sun, and some were overlapping the sun and the five-pointed star , some are hooks and so on.
"What's this?"
Nightingale saw the bottle he was pointing at, and asked strangely, "Don't you recognize this symbol?"
Du Dian considered his words, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Don't tell me you haven't memorized the complete collection of basic alchemy symbols?" Nightingale asked in surprise.
It was the first time Du Dian heard the word "alchemy symbol", and he was slightly taken aback. Fortunately, there was a mask to cover it, so that the other party did not notice the expression. He thought to himself: "Alchemy symbol? The function of the symbol is usually used to mark something... Could it be that this is something similar to a chemical symbol?"
This is not recorded in Roseyard's Alchemy Notes. Du Dian guessed that it was probably too rudimentary, so there was no meaning to record it, and immediately said: "Yeah, I haven't memorized it yet, and I lost all my things at my teacher. My teacher died, and the things were seized by the damned Holy See, do you have a complete collection of alchemy symbols here, can I borrow it to see?"
Nightingale looked at him suspiciously, but after hearing Du Dian call the "Holy See of Light" "damn", she dispelled her doubts and pointed to a shelf next to it, where there was a thick book with a black cover, "There, Take it and read it yourself, but remember not to damage it, I only have this one."
Du Dian nodded quickly, "Thank you very much."
Picking up the complete book of alchemy symbols, Du Dian was about to open it to have a look, when Nightingale said, "Go to another place to read it, such as the small warehouse, I'm going to do an experiment."
Du Dian came to understand and came to the small warehouse she pointed to. It was a little messy, with tools for cleaning the alchemy room and some broken filter leaks and so on.
Du Dian didn't care, just sat in one place and read "The Encyclopedia of Alchemy Symbols".
I saw a dazzling array of alchemy symbols displayed in rows, and under the symbols were text explanations. Du Dian soon saw the sun symbol that he had seen before. Among alchemists, this represented gold!
"No wonder there is golden powder in the bottle, and the amount is very small." Du Dian murmured and continued to browse.
Time passed unconsciously.
Du Dian was completely immersed in it, carrying these symbols with his heart. Through the explanation at the beginning, Du Dian knew that this alchemical symbol originated from the astrological symbol of the fortuneteller. With the decline of the fortuneteller, the astrological symbol was gradually evolved into an alchemical symbol by the rising alchemists, forming an independent alchemical symbol system.
After the alchemist completes the experiment, the content recorded is usually a lot of alchemy symbols piled together. If you are not an alchemist, you will not understand it at all, so memorize this book of alchemy symbols to become an apprentice alchemist One of the basic requirements!
When Du Dian took a third of his back, he heard Nightingale's voice from outside the warehouse door: "Is the hound here? It's getting late. It's getting dark. We're going home. Do you want to stay here all night?"
Du Dian was taken aback. He didn't expect the time to pass so quickly. He immediately closed the book and opened the door. Seeing Nightingale and Viper standing at the door, he said, "I'm going back too, let's go together."
"That's fine." Nightingale nodded.
The poisonous snake glanced at the book in Du Dian's hand, and said with a smile: "When Nightingale told me, I still didn't believe it. I didn't expect that you really didn't memorize this, tsk tsk, you are simply an apprentice among apprentices, um , I should call you an apprentice apprentice, haha..."
Du Dian heard his joke, smiled slightly, and said: "I have a poor memory, and I can recite slowly."
"I think you like to be lazy." The poisonous snake said with deep empathy: "At the beginning, I had a headache when I recited this, and I tried all kinds of excuses to escape. In the end, my teacher forced me to recite it, but Nightingale , smart, I heard that it only took about a week to memorize this, how can I, who has memorized it for half a year, be embarrassed!"
Nightingale smiled slightly, and said, "How can you be so exaggerated? I couldn't memorize it in a week, and it took half a month to memorize it thoroughly."
"That's amazing too." The poisonous snake said sadly.
Du Dian put the books back in place and said, "Are you coming tomorrow?"
"Of course." The poisonous snake said without thinking.
Nightingale shook her head and said, "I'll see the situation. If there is something to do, I won't come. If there is nothing to do, I will come."
Du Dian nodded and said, "I'll come tomorrow too."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back." Nightingale looked at Du Dian and the poisonous snake, and said, "Which one of you will go first?"
"Let me go first." The poisonous snake was not polite, waved to Du Dian, came to the corridor outside the hidden wall, and climbed out.
"Let's go out after a few minutes," Nightingale said.
Du Dian nodded, knowing that she was worried that she would go out too much at one time, which would easily attract attention, and if she left one after another, it would be good for everyone to have time to tidy up their masks.
After a while, Du Dian was the second to leave. He climbed into the alley and saw that no one was paying attention to the street at the entrance of the alley. Then he put away the mask, but he still wore a mask on his face, covering most of his face. He wore a mask on the street It's not unusual, and most of them will be considered as sick by others, and no one wants to get too close.
Just as Du Dian was about to go home along the shortcut, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell. He couldn't help being stunned, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He turned and walked towards the other side of the street, bowing his head all the way.
Not long after Du Dian left, a little boy appeared at the entrance of the alley, frowning and looking at the direction of Du Dian's departure, and said to himself angrily: "You are still wearing a mask, you are so careful!" Said, Taking a deep look in that direction, he turned and left in another direction.
Not long after he left, at the corner of the street, Du Dian appeared sideways, looked at the back, and frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, after the poisonous snake came out early, it didn't leave, but hid beside him, trying to peek at his true face. I don't know if he is too cautious, still doubting his identity, or he has ulterior motives.
"It seems that we can't take it lightly in the future." Du Dian secretly said, and at the same time firmly remembered the face of the other party, which is a fatal handle for the other party in his hands!
Du Dian turned his head to look at the alley, probably Nightingale would come out soon, he thought about it, but gave up the opportunity to peek at her real face, after all, she didn't treat him like this, no one would offend me, I wouldn't offend anyone.
Turning around and leaving, Du Dian walked around a few streets, making sure that there was no familiar smell around, and came to a corner of a street. When there was no one there, he quickly took off his black robe and rolled it up, then quickly left here and took a detour home.
