"Is this the truth?"
Su Mo stared into his eyes.
"It's the truth."
Lu Mingze nodded helplessly.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have the energy to teach you alchemy at this time."
"That's good."
Hearing this, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you need anything, just say it. I don't need you to take action during this period. Just take good care of your injuries!"
Hearing Su Mo's words, Lu Mingze was obviously not used to it.
"Is this the concern of an ally?"
He grinned, with his usual mask-like smile on his face.
"No, it's out of concern as a friend."
Su Mo shook his head.
Then, when Lu Mingze paused for a moment and didn't know how to react, he added.
"Besides, I'm not the only one who cares about your injury."
Hearing this, Lu Mingze was slightly startled.
"Others also found out?"
How can it be?
With his acting skills and his grasp of dream illusions, could anyone still see that he was injured?
"They shouldn't have this ability!"
Lu Mingze said a little strangely.
As a member of the Black King's bloodline, Su Mo has high resistance to illusions. How did others find out?
Seeing Lu Mingze's slightly surprised look, Su Mo smiled slightly.
"Didn't you say that? Nothing in the world can block the power of the heart!"
He repeated what Lu Mingze said before, and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Just like you did to your brother, if you really care about someone, it's easy to see through his disguise, no matter what power the other person uses... But don't worry, they won't bother you."
The most common thing that appears in Lu Mingze's mouth is the law of power and strength. He understands the cruel reality very clearly, so he also deeply understands the weight of the so-called interests.
Because of this, he will not show weakness in front of others. He is the type who will forcefully smile in the face of fatal injuries. Only when he is alone will he lick his own wounds like a lone wolf.
For him, exposing wounds means unsafety and threat.
However, although there are laws of power and force in the world, there are not only laws of power and force.
Maybe he subconsciously ignored it, but in fact, when he was licking his wounds, there was someone guarding him.
It's just that everyone knows his habits, so no one says anything about it.
After saying that, Su Mo waved and left.
Opening the door, you can see the nanny group and Xia Mi who are staying nearby and have not returned.
Mai Shutoku and Su Enxi both looked over immediately. Although Ling's face was expressionless, he was also looking at Su Mo.
Only Miss Xia Mi looked confused. She was the only one who didn't notice anything. She stopped here just to wait for Su Mo.
"Don't worry, there's no big problem."
Su Mo nodded and said to the three nannies.
"Huh~"
Su Enxi and Jiude Mai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But like Zero, they didn't say anything.
They all know that the boss may not mind showing weakness when he is strong, but he is never willing to show weakness when he is weak.
Maybe it's a bit disrespectful to say this, but their boss is indeed just as stubborn as he looks.
As a subordinate, what should you do if you encounter this kind of boss?
I can only tacitly wait for the boss to lick his wounds and come out, pretending that he doesn’t know what to do!
Therefore, after hearing Su Mo's words, they just gave a look of thanks and then immediately dispersed.
"So, what's not a big problem? What are you talking about?"
After the three people left, Xia Mi asked confused.
She still didn't understand the situation and didn't know what riddle they were playing.
"you guess?"
Su Mo teased him deliberately.
Naturally, he didn't plan to tell Xia Mi. It wasn't that he didn't trust Xia Mi's sense of confidentiality, but that he didn't trust her moral bottom line.
If this female dragon with a criminal record knew that Lu Mingze was in a weak stage, although she would not tear up the covenant now, she might not be able to do something about it. For the sake of the stability of the covenant, it would be better not to tell her.
"I do not guess you guess guess?"
Xia Mi's face darkened and he clenched his fists.
That's all the other secrets. Each of the three wet nurses is a beautiful girl. Su Mo actually has some little secret with them, so he has to worry about it.
"Ahem! You said you need to rest, why are you waiting for me here? Is it possible that you are finally going to attack me?"
Su Mo immediately changed the topic.
"Bah! What a beautiful thought!"
The girl rolled her eyes at him angrily and strode forward.
"Just passing by!"
In fact, it's just a matter of getting used to it.
In the box, Lu Mingze smiled silently as he watched the figures of several people gradually disappear from sight.
Although he was not completely unaware, he didn't notice this side of the nanny group's psychology until Su Mo reminded him. He didn't expect that he would be protected by someone other than his brother.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Lu Mingze said softly.
As soon as the words fell, his figure disappeared like an ink mark, as if he had never appeared before.
Choosing Su Mo as an ally may indeed be a pretty good choice.
He couldn't help but think so.
·
At six o'clock in the evening, Lu Mingze regretted it.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Lu Mingze began to regret and reflect.
Why did I think that choosing two people as allies was a good thing?
Could it be said that he was lowered at that time?
In front of Lu Mingze, in the private room of the Regent Hotel, Su Mo and Xia Mi were sitting lazily in front of the dining table after having rested.
"Mother Zero, I want to eat this!"
Xia Mi raised his hand and pointed at the scallop in front of him.
"Mama Zero, instead of dipping it in soy sauce this time, try wasabi!"
Su Mo directed Sanwu Loli to help him prepare sashimi.
"Mama Ling, help me get some too!"
Xia Mi spoke again and planned to place an additional order.
Under the command of the two men, Zero was busy running around.
At first, Xia Mi didn't know why Su Mo called Zero's mother, but then, with Su Mo's personal demonstration, she finally felt the benefits of Sanwu Lolita.
Although this child is a bit reckless when fighting, she is also really considerate in daily life!
For any ingredients that you find difficult to prepare, you don't need to do it yourself at all. You only need to call "Mother Zero" and they will quickly help you get them and put them on your plate.
It is simply good news for lazy people, she is an angelic Loli mother!
Therefore, under Su Mo's influence, Xia Mi quickly degenerated.
You don't have to use your hands at all when eating, you just have to feed it into your mouth.
Su Mo was okay and only asked Zero to help occasionally, while Xia Mi already regarded her as an all-purpose maid.
Faced with this situation, Zero should have resisted. She was not a maid who could be driven around by others.
However, every time this happens, meaningful threats will come from the two of them.
"Renata, you don't want to be exposed either..."
"Sanwu Loli, you don't want your boss to know that you can't even entertain your allies..."
Using both methods, Sanwu Loli had a rare mood swing and glared at the two of them.
It's a pity that being as angry as a kitten has no deterrent effect after all.
So, she became a tool person.
Seeing her Royal Highness being treated like this, Su Enxi couldn't stand it and tried to speak up.
Then, Xia Mi glanced at her lightly.
"Rich Woman No. 2, where is my mission reward?"
She hasn't forgotten that ten million yet.
Then, Su Enxi was also sunk.
Seeing that his team of nannies were being eaten up by the two people in front of him, only Mai Shutoku tried her best to pretend to be transparent and could protect herself wisely. Lu Mingze couldn't help but sigh.
How can I defeat these two guys? Waiting online, urgent!
Fortunately, Su Mo and Xia Mi still have some conscience.
After bullying for a while, Zero was allowed to sit down and have a good meal.
Of course, it may also be because they are almost full and there is enough food on the plate in front of them.
After being messed up by the two of them.
After dinner, Teacher Lu Mingze’s alchemy class finally started.
Facing the two people in front of him, Lu Mingze was no longer as polite as he was at the beginning.
"How much do you know about alchemy?"
He looked at Su Mo.
Although Su Mo and Xia Mi are listening together, the course itself is still dominated by Su Mo, so his current level of narration must be taken into consideration.
Xia Mi naturally knew this, so he shut up obediently and listened.
"Know the basics."
After Su Mo thought for a few seconds, he spoke.
"In the dragon cosmology, the world is composed of five elements. The four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire construct matter, and the supreme spiritual element regulates the operation of the entire world."
"The theory of alchemy is also based on the results of this cosmology. Alchemists want to reach a higher realm through the manipulation of elements."
Overall, the dragon's view of the universe is similar to the four-element theory combined with Plato's theory of ideas, and is similar to Aristotle's view.
The Jade Record mentioned many times in the original work has no problem as a program of alchemy.
The sun is the father and the taiyin is the mother, conceived by the wind and nourished by the earth.
Alchemists wanted to achieve the miracle of God by constructing a cycle of four different elements.
"Well, in theory there is no problem."
Lu Mingze nodded and then asked.
“What about the practical steps?”
What Su Mo said before is only the theoretical support for alchemy. Just knowing these is not enough to support practice.
Just like someone who studies aerodynamics may not be able to build an airplane, there is a huge gap between theory and practice.
“In terms of practical steps, I don’t know much about it.”
Su Mo shook his head and said very frankly.
"Before, I only heard Xia Mi give a rough introduction to the four major steps of alchemy - black soil, chalk, gold, and red, but I didn't understand the specific information."
Because of the poor performance of the King of Bronze and Fire, he had not focused on alchemy before, so Xia Mi only gave a general introduction.
At this moment, after hearing what Su Mo said, Lu Mingze nodded, probably estimating his progress.
"Then let's start from here."
"Black soil means original material, such as iron ore that can be found everywhere, or any object to be processed. When facing this kind of material, the first step we need to take is to purify and separate it, and decompose it through humification.
, burning and other methods to purify it, and the purified crystal is chalk, which is the pure product after pretreatment."
He explained the basics of alchemy in very concise language.
"After reaching the chalk stage, the pre-processed pure products are combined in a special way or formula to create the composite product we need. The resulting alchemical finished product is gold."
After listening to Lu Mingze's introduction, Su Mo was slightly stunned.
"The state of black soil is decomposed into chalk, and the state of chalk is recombined to form gold. Isn't this understanding, decomposition and reconstruction?"
So, the principles in animation are also true? Is it really a genuine theory that has been tested?
"You can say that."
Lu Mingze nodded.
"The essence of alchemy is not unusual. In fact, it is similar to the methods used in human laboratories. Otherwise, there would not be so many alchemists born among humans."
Rather than saying that alchemical experiments are like chemical experiments, it is better to say that modern chemical experiments are derived from alchemical experiments.
"What about Chicheng?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
Among the four steps of black soil, chalk, gold, and red, Lu Mingze only mentioned three steps. The golden step has already reached the finished product. So what is the last one for?
"Chicheng is not a step in alchemy, but the ultimate dream of alchemists, the ultimate in alchemy, the divinely enlightened finished product they dream of."
Lu Mingze spread his hands and explained.
"Every alchemy master will have a goal that he wants to refine. For humans, this goal may be the Philosopher's Stone. For dragons, it may be to kill the Black King. Everyone is different. There is no
Practical meaning.”
"I see."
Su Mo nodded, understanding this.
Miss Xia Mi on the side also nodded suddenly. She was not a master of alchemy. She could even be said to be half of Yeluzi. This was the first time she heard this statement.
Seeing that the two of them understood, Lu Mingze continued.
"These steps sound complicated, but in practice they don't require much theory."
"For us dragons, alchemy is actually a very simple matter. In one sentence, it is to 'kill' matter and then 'regenerate' it, thus giving it new power."
"The so-called 'killing' of substances is actually to remove impurities and make the substances pure. Our common method is to use flame to burn. Only the purest flame can obtain the purest substances."
"Use fire to burn, use wind to breed, use earth to crystallize, and use water to regenerate, to build a complete cycle of elements, and the field of alchemy is completed."
As a master of alchemy, Lu Mingze's explanations were profound and simple, and his goal was set on the field of alchemy from the beginning.
For human alchemists, the field of alchemy can even subvert the textbooks, but in Lu Mingze's case, it has become an object that beginners have to face.
Lu Mingze simply ignored ordinary alchemy swords or weapons constructed by Xia Mi using the Death Scythe.
In his eyes, only alchemy weapons with attached fields are qualified to be called finished products.
"Among the Seven Kingdoms of Alchemy, I use concept weapons most often. If you want to learn more about alchemy, I think you can start here."
Lu Mingze said this, obviously he had carefully planned Su Mo's learning path.
The achievements of the Seven Kingdoms, which even Xia Mi has not yet arrived, have directly become one of the topics that Su Mo must master.
"Conceptual weapons...this is indeed very strong!"
Su Mo nodded and immediately remembered Lu Mingze's performance in the original novel.
The two artifacts that Mai Shutoku pulled out before, Tianyu Yuzhan and Budou Yuhun, are both products of conceptual weapons.
In addition, at the end of Dragon 4, when fighting against Odin, Lu Mingze created the seven-fold circle that weaves the sky, and the AT Absolute Domain is also a creation of conceptual weapons.
These powers are no weaker than those of Yanling.
