Inside the lab, smoke billowed and there was a pungent spicy smell.There are six large crucibles side by side in the room, this kind of round-bottomed and big-bellied crucible is almost a necessary alchemy tool for alchemists, and the alchemists use the crucibles to remove slag, refine, purify, and integrate many processes with the crucible, and finally form a new alchemy material.In the eyes of the Francis scholars, these cauldrons were more like ordinary vessels, and he used a special method to melt the magic metal into a liquid state at room temperature, so that the liquid metal was the ink needed by the magic seal workshop, and the dwarven craftsmen brushed this ink on the punch of the magic seal machine, and engraved the magic pattern on the crossbow arrow or the base material of the rune plate, which was how the magic pattern rune plate was made.While those magic stampers were the key to the success of the Bronze Magic Pattern Plates, they could not have been made without the magical metal solution that Francis Scholars had concocted.The crucibles in the Francis Scholar's laboratory had three more cauldrons than when I came before, and with the assistance of the magic assistants, these cauldrons were all smelting magic metal, and the three magic assistants each held a magic white notebook, and kept throwing magic materials into the crucible in front of them, many of which were ground into powdered magic materials, and I saw a magic assistant pour a tube of salamander blood into the crucible, and the flames in the cauldron burst out instantly.It was like a circus clown performing acrobatics in front of an audience.In the alchemy laboratory of the Scholars of Francis, I took out ten ingots of Mithril in front of the Scholars of Francis and said goodbye to the Scholars of Francis.Unexpectedly, this time before leaving, he was stopped by Scholar Francis."
That Jijia, you wait first."
A thoughtful look appeared on his face.He turned around and walked to the display shelf on the wall of the laboratory, reached out and took a round glassware from the display shelf, and shook the silver liquid in the glass container inside, the silver liquid inside was as heavy as mercury, and formed a vortex in the glassware under the shaking of the Francis scholar."
Are these the Mithril solution?
Francis Scholar. ”I looked at the silver liquid inside the glass container and asked him curiously.I didn't expect Scholar Francis to have a prepared Mithril solution here.Scholar Francis frowned, scratched at his messy hair, and said to me, "This isn't a Mithril solution yet, but it's pretty much the same. ”I looked at him in amazement, what does that mean?
Scholar Francis led me to his test bench and pulled out a drawing full of magic formulas from the piles of magic recipes on the test bench.Just seeing the complex equations above, I felt that my two years at the Royal Academy of Magic seemed to have been in vain, otherwise why couldn't I understand all the symbols on the parchment of Francis Scholar?
Scholar Francis spread out the parchment, pointed to the talisman on it, and said to me: "Master Alchemist Youwei put forward a new idea at the last alchemy seminar, that is, two metals of the same type that are similar to each other can be fused together to obtain a new type of magical metal, which not only has the characteristics of two magical metals, but also has a high chance of obtaining new properties in the process of fusion. ”Could it be that the metal solution in the glass bottle is a new type of magic metal?
I thought to myself.Scholar Francis continued: "Originally, I wanted to use Mithril and Thorin to fuse together into a new magical metal, and these metal solutions were formed by the fusion of 70% Mithril and 30% Thorium, but I did not use traditional smelting, but converted the two magical metals into a metal solution, and then mixed them together according to the proportion. ”Sure enough, I guessed it.Because of its good magic conduction, the magicians of the Green Empire like to use Mithril to make rune plates, but the metal characteristics of Thorium and Mithril are completely different, although the performance of Thorium is average, but it is a kind of magic metal with extremely high performance in strength, hardness, yield and fatigue resistance, and magic load, in other words, Thor silver is a metal that is more suitable for making weapons than magic black iron, but Thur silver is not suitable for making rune plates.In the magic market, the price of Thorium is several times higher than that of magic black iron, and Thorium does not have a lot of inventory in the magic market, and it is not the mainstream magic metal in the magic market.Scholars Francis seldom went so hard to introduce his work, and many times they just handed me the metal solution and let me go.He gave me such a detailed introduction to the new magic metal, which made me a little curious.At this time, I heard him continue: "This metal solution not only has the good magic conductivity unique to Mithril, but also has the high load unique to Ser Silver, this silver alloy also stimulates some holy light power, so I call this metal solution Holy Silver Solution, but unfortunately I have tried many methods to make these Holy Silver solutions solidify, but the effect is not ideal, these curing agents with obsidian powder as long as they are sprinkled, will instantly solidify the surface of the Holy Silver Solution into a layer of metal hard shell, The remaining hardener cannot penetrate into it. ”It turned out that this holy silver solution had a fatal flaw, so I asked, "So these holy silver solutions can only be regarded as some semi-finished products?"
”Scholar Francis said to me, "That's right, I know that you used these metal solutions to draw the magic rune plates, but you just covered the metal plates with a thin layer of magic metal, and if it was just a thin layer, it would not affect the curing of the holy silver solution.These holy silver solutions are actually not much different from the Mithril solution, and in some ways even superior to the Mithril solution, if you can use them, you can take them with you. ”"Are you sure that the metal curing agent can cure this holy silver solution, even if it's just a thin layer?"
I hesitated, thinking that it would be better to ask this question in person.Scholar Francis did not answer directly, but directly pulled out the cap of the glassware, poured the holy silver solution inside into a metal tray, he casually handed me the glassware that was only the size of a fist, and there was also half a bottle of holy silver solution in it, and then he found a box of hardener powder from the item display shelf behind him, and he took out a little bit of hardener powder and sprinkled it on the holy silver solution in the tray.The liquid Holy Silver Solution in the tray quickly solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, like wax oil dripping on the wax table, and now a layer of bright silver shell condensed on the surface, and Scholar Francis uncovered the shell on the surface of the Holy Silver Solution, and the Holy Silver Solution below really did not solidify at all.Whether it is Mithril or Thurium, the power attribute of the Holy Light contained in these magic metals itself is hidden, but this Holy Silver Plate actually exudes a faint power of Holy Light, although it is still very weak, but at least it is explicit, and it is much stronger than the power of Holy Light contained in the original Mithril and Thuryin.It seems that this holy silver solution was made for me, but I still can't figure out the purpose of the Francis scholars trying to sell it to me.I took the bottle of Holy Silver Solution in my hand and said to Francis, "Scholar Francis, I can use this Holy Silver Solution, and next time I will bring the Silver needed to make the Holy Silver Solution!"
”Hearing me say this, Scholar Francis said to the magic assistant next to him, "Ten Mithril ingots can smelt about twenty bottles of holy silver solution, Eddie, hurry up and get the scales." ”"Okay, Mr.
Francis!"
A magical assistant immediately put down the parchment note in his hand and quickly grabbed a balance from the cabinet in the corner.Seeing the scales on the table, Francis looked a little distressed and said: "Since the return of the alchemy exchange meeting, I have been doing experiments in this area, originally I also wanted to fuse pure gold and krypton gold together, ahem, but you also know, this is impossible, Bruce can't approve me to do such crazy things, so I changed the title of the research topic to Mithril and Thorin, this research at least at the beginning went well, I thought that the ratio between Mithril and Thorin was wrong, and those holy silver solutions would not be able to solidify, That's why I'm constantly adjusting the ratio of Mithril to Thorium," said Francis, leading me to the warehouse on the side of the magic lab.Only the laboratories of scholars like Francis and Hindki will be equipped with warehouses, and when Francis scholars opened the door of the warehouse, I thought I was wrong, and then I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and found that there was not any ghost in front of me, but all the shelves were really full of glass bottles, and those fist-sized glass bottles were lying on wooden trays, filled with holy silver solution, well, a whole warehouse.Scholar Francis smiled awkwardly when he saw me standing in front of the warehouse, and he scratched at his messy hair and said to me: "Halfway through this research, I was suspended by Bruce, and I was a little hot at the time, so I didn't heed Bruce's warning, and continued to receive a batch of Mithril and Thorium from the Institute of Magic, until these holy silver solutions filled the entire warehouse, and I realized that if I wanted to make these holy silver solutions solidify, the currently known curing agents could not do it at all. ”"So, Scholar Francis, you received some Mithril and Thorium in your private name from the Academy?"
I asked him.Scholar Francis nodded.I finally knew why Francis was distressed.I didn't say anything more, I came out of the laboratory of Scholar Francis, ran directly to the magic trading hall on the first floor of the Tower of Pride, and swept away all the stocks of Mithril and Thorium in all the magic metal shops, for which I spent almost four boxes of magic crystals, so that the owners of the magic shops almost thought that there was some bad news from those planes, so they had to hoard Mithril like crazy.Although I bought nearly two thousand Mithril ingots and Thorsilver ingots on the magic trading hall, it only emptied one-third of the holy silver solution in the Francis Scholar's warehouse, and I originally planned to buy the remaining holy silver solution directly with magic crystals, but I didn't expect that Francis Scholar was too troublesome, and he was actually willing to exchange one-third of the holy silver solution, and the rest of the holy silver solution would rather be stored in the warehouse.Then I went to the magic laboratory of the Jerkis Scholars.Half a month ago, Yerkis scholars held a Ming design conference in the exhibition hall on the first floor of the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Ming Union Building, in addition to further explaining in detail the design drawings of the three top-level magic pattern constructions of the Demon Snake's Fang, the Giant Bear's Power, and the Earth Shield, they also announced the recent research results of the low-wear magic pattern array to the Ming masters in the imperial capital.I have read this academic treatise, and the main thing that the Yerkis scholar expounded in this academic treatise is that everyone has magical adaptability, that is to say, every ordinary person also contains certain magical elements in his body, but the attributes of these mana vary from person to person, some people are born with affinity with the water element, so his body contains this small amount of water element mana, and some people are born with affinity with the earth element, so his body contains earth element mana, but these mana are very small and cannot be expressed.He believes that changing the traditional magic pattern array can reduce mana consumption, and this low-wear magic pattern array is made into a magic pattern structure, which is drawn on the body of ordinary people, and can absorb the mana contained in the person itself, which means that the magic pattern structure can be drawn on the body of ordinary people, but this has greatly increased the difficulty of drawing the magic pattern array, so this kind of designed magic pattern circle is just theoretically reasonable.Even so, the Yerkis scholars' arguments caused an uproar in the imperial capital.This summer, life magic items continue to sell well in the imperial capital, whether it is exhaust fans, copper hot pots, refrigerators, etc., almost all of them have been accepted by the imperial capital, and the reason why these magic items are accepted by the imperial capital people is nothing more than the continuous plane war that has caused the price of magic crystals to continue to fall, and the price of these primary magic runes has dropped significantly.When I spoke to the Yerkes scholar about the Francis scholars, the Yerkes scholars nodded noncommittally."
I've heard about this from Bruce for a long time, in fact, the research institute has long known that the warehouse reserves of Mithril and Thorium have been consumed, but they are also silent about Francis's side, which means that the research institute is actually unwilling to bear this part of the loss, but it will not be too harsh on Francis" It's just that this has greatly increased the difficulty of drawing the magic pattern circle, so this kind of designed magic pattern circle is just theoretically reasonable.Even so, the Yerkis scholars' arguments caused an uproar in the imperial capital.
