After Moriarty had finished her tea, Heyena no longer insisted on doing it herself, but ordered the maid on the side to clean up the mess. Then she followed her fiancé to the Earth Studio. The studio was already ready for Heyna.
A personal laboratory. Although the facilities are relatively simple, it is sufficient for most of the studies of mage apprentices and even low-level mage, and it is sufficient for experiments. After another gentle kiss with Moriarty, Heyna
He entered the laboratory alone, closed the airtight door, and Moriarty turned around and walked into his own central processing unit.
This is the world of mages. No matter how close the secular relationship is, it cannot interfere with each other's separate journey of magic.
In the central processing unit, a large number of alchemical raw materials are placed in rows of magic storage compartments in an orderly manner. These are all products to be processed from the three alchemy studios that have placed orders with Moriarty.
After sealing the door of the central unit, Moriarty walked to the center of the alchemy room, then slowly looked around, and after thinking for a while, he first decided to deal with the business from Laika Studio.
Speaking of which, among all three alchemy studios that have placed processing orders with Moriarty, his relationship with Laika Studio can be said to be the most distant.
Because both Schmidt and Vegeta are registered mages affiliated with Hockenheim, the alchemy studio presided over by these two mages is naturally equivalent to the internal studio of the academy. As for Laika, this person is skilled in
The well-known alchemist who makes magic equipment and magic weapons directly takes orders from the city lord's palace. He even has the administrative title of "Director of the Ordnance Workshop of Blue Crystal City" on his head. He can be said to be an out-and-out "public servant".
". Therefore, Laika Studio can naturally be regarded as an organization directly under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, whether it is in terms of connections or available resources, Laika has something that the other two alchemy colleagues are difficult to copy.
Convenience and advantages.
Arriving at a row of storage compartments against the wall on the right, Moriarty glanced at it, then gently took out a half-meter-square heavy black wooden box from one of the compartments and placed it on the workbench. Then.
He casually released the magic seal on it, opened the lid of the box, and immediately saw that the box was filled with light silver Sicotte mineral sand.
Xicot Ore is a special mineral produced in the southwest of Brakada. It can only be collected and screened from the mud layer at the bottom of the Pamir Salt Lake in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Several goblin villages nearby have been there for hundreds of years.
He has been living on the shores of the Pamir Lake since then, relying on scouring mud and sand and selling it to other countries to make a living.
Speaking of which, Xicot mineral sand is a relatively rare mineral, and its annual output is not high, but its selling price in the market is always low. The reason is that Xicot mineral sand is a kind of
It is a rare symbiotic mineral. Each mineral particle that is less than the size of a wheat kernel actually contains four to five different metal substances. It is necessary to extract these different types of metals separately and ensure that
Certain purity requirements are beyond the capabilities of ordinary metallurgical workshops or blacksmith shops. This also determines that the end buyers of Westcote ore can only be those alchemy studios that specialize in the manufacture of magic equipment or weapons.
.
The processing requirement proposed by Laika Studio to Moriarty this time is to extract at least 50 ounces of glass copper core with a purity of not less than 83% from a total of about one thousand pounds of Sikot ore.
and fifteen ounces of emerald iron with a purity of not less than 70%. For this purpose, Laika will pay Earth Studio a total of 10,000 gold coins for refining, and at the same time extract other types of metal minerals from the Xicot ore.
It will also be owned by Moriarty.
It seems that this is a very generous processing contract. If successfully completed, the total revenue of Earth Studio will reach nearly 20,000 gold coins. However, it is such a high-profit order, but Schmidt secretly
The reason why Moriarty was persuaded to give up was for no other reason than the amount of magic and time required to smelt various metallic substances from such a large amount of fine Sikot ore. Not to mention the amount of time required to smelt it.
The refining process places extraordinary demands on the alchemist's control and endurance.
According to the actual words of the mid-level mage: "This business is basically a poisonous bait thrown out by the city lord's palace, and its target is probably the new Earth Studio."
However, Schmidt's persuasion ultimately failed, and Moriarty calmly and calmly swallowed up this hot and possibly heart-wrenching business. To this, the mid-level mage could only sigh.
Taking the ore out of the wooden box in batches and pouring it into a huge brown tong pot on the other side of the workbench, Moriarty then activated the heating magic array that had been preset on the workbench. An invisible heat wave surged through, and the brown
The tongs pot began to gradually turn red. On the slightly rough inner circumference of the tongs pot, slight protrusions the size of needle tips emitted red light. It was as if the rolling heat energy coming from the bottom of the pot was conducted and concentrated on these protrusions.
Click on it to strengthen the aggregation.
After another ten minutes, the surface of the tong pot had turned into a sea of red light. You could even vaguely see some of the needle tip protrusions. It seemed that they could no longer withstand the terrible high temperature energy and actually slowly melted and softened.
.And until this moment, the Xicot mineral sand in the pot finally began to change. Some black juice emerged from the surface of the fine mineral particles like fine sweat, and then gathered more and more, slowly mixing to form a layer.
Some thin layers of black water cover the entire ore.
"The 'lattice alchemy cauldron' is indeed good. Although it is expensive, the heating effect is excellent. It is enough to melt out the impurities in Xicot without additional magic control." Moriarty looked at the contents in the tong pot.
The black liquid gathered layer by layer, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
After all the impurities in the ore in the pot were dissolved, Moriarty cleaned out the black water, and the remaining Xicot ore had changed from the original light silver to a dazzling bright silver.
"There will be no more tricks next."
Moriarty carefully examined the fine sand in the tong pot for a while, then picked up a long-handled lead spoon, scooped out some hot ore from the pot, and put it into a special transparent vessel on the other side.
Next, Moriarty stretched out his left hand and gently pressed it on the work surface about half a foot in front of the transparent vessel, and the magic furnace under the vessel started at the same time.
A faint red ripple flashed through the central processing unit of the Earth Studio, and Moriarty's fire elemental field (pseudo) opened silently.
Soon, a few red-gold light spots visible to the naked eye flew up from the magic furnace like elves. Then, these bright light spots completely ignored the barriers of the transparent vessels and were arranged into a formation under the guidance of Moriarty's mental power.
The "Star of David" penetrates directly into the interior of the fine sand and rotates. Looking from a distance, it seems as if there is a small rising sun rising slowly in the glass vessel. However, for some reason, this sun looks extremely hot.
The light group is extremely condensed. Even if you touch the mouth of the vessel with your hand at this moment, you won't feel much heat coming out.
In just five minutes, the nickel with the lowest melting point in the Xikote ore was successfully melted out, and because the temperature control was extremely accurate, the purity of the dissolved nickel was extremely high.
If any other alchemist saw the scene in front of him, he would definitely exclaim a miracle. A first-level alchemist who has just started to make an almost perfect refining of the Westcott ore in such a light and natural way.
It is impossible to exist in known historical experience.
However, this is the result of using the fire element field (pseudo) to control the internal circulation heating, a result that was only possible in the hands of high-level fire mages in the past.
Because of the magical shielding in the central processing unit, Moriarty no longer has to worry about exposing the secrets of his own elemental domain, and can release the domain with greater ease.
After several hours of refining, Moriarty has successfully processed a considerable amount of Sikot ore. The extracted finished products have also been collected in five different storage tanks. Of course, in order to control the quality of the final product
Purity, to avoid unnecessary trouble, when refining the last two glass copper cores and jade iron, Moriarty also deliberately poured back some impurities and other metal powders. Finally, the two most valuable metal semi-finished products
The purity was suppressed to the critical line of 82% and 70% respectively.
According to the strength of an ordinary first-level alchemist, it would take at least three weeks or even a month to complete all the above tasks with the help of good luck. This is the difference between a low-level mage and a high-level mage with the fire element field (pseudo)
the huge gap between.
Since he had promised his fiancée to prepare dinner together, Moriarty left the central processing unit after cleaning and storing the processed semi-finished products. Coincidentally, when he came outside, he met Heyna who was also walking out of his laboratory.
When the two met, they couldn't help but smile sweetly together, and left the alchemy studio together.
The dinner that day was simple and quick to prepare, but Heyna and Moriarty were more concerned about the process of doing it together.
At night, White returned and the three of them had dinner together.
After the meal, Heyana went back to the studio on her own, and Moriarty informed White about the arrangements for the armor, shield and heavy crossbow. White had no objection to this and said it was up to Moriarty to decide.
Because he was staying in Olympus Gardens, White proposed that he, his follower, be responsible for the security and guarding of the entire building. Moriarty nodded in agreement and suggested that White pick out a few pairs of hounds to come back tomorrow, such as those who are extremely territorial and vigilant.
The Braden Wolf Dog. This can help White save a lot of energy in guarding, and it also has great benefits in night guarding.
About half an hour later, Moriarty said goodbye to White and returned to the studio. White walked out of the house and took a slow walk in the garden in the cold winter night. At the same time, he also became familiar with the plants and trees in the Olympus Garden.
