Old Man Piton's private laboratory is in a secret basement in the residential area of the heavy factory.
It seems that this place was originally a warehouse for stacking materials, but it was unknown when it was converted into this by old man Piton.
Old Man Piton's laboratory, like his lifestyle, was extremely slovenly.
There was a strong smell of engine oil lingering throughout the laboratory, and Thain doubted whether the old man could live to be three thousand years old.
Because he has been in such a harsh environment for a long time, coupled with the corrosive effect of heavy metal elements on cells, even if he is a second-level magician, he will inevitably be affected by a shortened life span.
In fact, the reason Piton was moved by Thain's 10,000 magic coins was because the old man was in urgent need of money.
In this world, there is almost nothing money can't buy.
If you have enough money, you can even continue your life.
Old Man Piton was in extremely poor health, just as Thain had guessed.
If the theoretical lifespan of a second-level magician is three thousand years, then this old man can live to be 2,500 years old, which is already a blessing.
The harsh experimental environment and the lack of attention to maintenance and hygiene caused the old man's hair to wither and his body functions to wither.
Old man Piton is 2671 years old this year.
The reason why he is able to live to this day is also related to the large number of life-extending potions and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that the old man purchased and took.
Alchemists are almost the richest group of magicians of the same level in the wizarding world.
The business deal that Old Man Piton took over from Thane, excluding the cost, was able to earn about 7,000 magic coins.
Which second-level magician can become rich so easily in a plane war?
Old man Piton relies on his ability to make a living.
If he really wanted to be ruthless and forcefully extend his life, Old Man Piton could even change himself into a life form and become a lich of the undead clan.
Then you can enjoy a life span of ten thousand years.
It's just that few orthodox magicians are willing to do that.
The change of life form is not as simple as it sounds, except for a certain chance of failure.
Another major factor that restricts the number of lichs is that when other magicians in the wizarding world are transformed into undead, the elemental power they control will also be twisted into the power of death. The number of undead magicians in the wizarding world continues to increase.
Elemental magicians are the largest category.
Old Man Piton is a fire elementalist. If he transforms into a lich and loses his original pure fire origin, even if he has special undead methods such as hell fire, his alchemy skills will definitely be greatly reduced by then.
.
I don’t know if it’s an unspoken rule in the wizarding world, but after arriving at the Sky City, Thane also didn’t see a lich.
Those who can appear here are all purebred "human beings".
With the Purple Thorn cigar in his mouth and billowing smoke, Old Man Piton quickly got into working mode after arriving at the underground laboratory.
Smoking spicy cigars for a long time is not good for old man Piton's health.
But the old man didn't seem to care about his own life at all. Although his body was in extremely bad shape, some bad habits could not be changed.
This may also be related to the fact that old man Piton has no descendants or apprentices.
If there is a junior who is close to him, he can be more or less controlled.
Old Man Piton now lives purely for himself.
He can do whatever he wants, which is considered cool.
After Old Man Piton entered work mode, Thain was certainly not idle either.
He already has some experience in combining the construction of golems with magic alchemy technology, and now he has old man Piton with extremely rich alchemy skills. Why not learn it quickly?
Perhaps because he didn't have an apprentice relationship, Old Piton turned a blind eye to Thain's behavior of stealing from his master.
His alchemy skills cannot be acquired in life or taken away in death.
In addition to handing over the light of arcane and making a contribution to wizard civilization.
A few more clever apprentices like Thane are taken away, so it's not a loss.
Old Man Piton's transformation of the constructed golem is really not a lie.
Thain could tell that the old man did not understand the construction science of Nesser civilization, but this did not prevent old man Piton from upgrading Yuli's golem according to his own design and conception.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang!" While radically transforming the constructed golem, old man Piton also passed on some private goods to him because of the amount of money given by Thain.
"The energy cluster weapons of technological civilization are more powerful and more unstable than the magic weapons of our wizarding world, but they are better in terms of convenience."
"I see that you added a small energy converter suitable for space fortresses to this little slave girl's golem. This is a good idea."
"But your steps are still too short, why not be more aggressive?"
"I added the four-section elemental rocket thruster of the war airship to the back of this red golem."
"Its energy core has been replaced with the standard crystal of the Light Prism Fortress, and the power it will bring will definitely be stronger by then!" Old Man Piton said, slapping the metal surface of the Flame's golem.
"But in this case, will it be accompanied by a higher risk factor during use?" Thain asked with a layer of white sweat on his forehead.
Old Man Piton glanced at Thain and asked: "Is the plane war you are participating in dangerous????????????????Dangerous?"
Seeing Thain nodding, Old Man Piton said: "That's it! Nothing is absolutely safe."
"Isn't she your slave? Exploiting her combat value as much as possible is what you should consider."
"Could it be that you kid..." Old Man Piton looked teasingly at Thain and Yuli back and forth until Yuli's face turned red.
Thain is very thick-skinned, so there is nothing unusual this time.
Old man Piton was not a particularly boring person. After teasing Thain, the old man continued, "I have studied a lot of technological civilization stuff over the years."
"Although those technological civilizations can create combat units that are comparable to level two or even level three, the inherent physical weakness of their civilization's creatures is the biggest shortcoming that cannot be ignored."
"A group of creatures below the first level, with the assistance of the technological system, suddenly gained second and third level power. Can they be regarded as true second and third level creatures?!"
"Hmph, on the battlefield, as long as you aim and hit, it may be just a first-level power level spell. If it hits the mecha's energy system or other important nodes, it may directly destroy a third-level mecha."
"But for the third-level magicians in our wizarding world, even if the magic shield is removed, it is absolutely impossible to kill them with a first-level attack method."
"One of the major drawbacks of technologically advanced mechas is instability."
"I will help you thicken the key parts of this demon doll, but if you want to absolutely avoid danger, the best way is not to let her step into the battlefield." Old Man Piton taught Thain a lesson.
