In fact, the question raised by Haierna has also troubled Peak Jim for many years.
At that time, this talented goblin alchemist was looking forward to breaking through the low physical limits of traditional gargoyles, hoping to replace clumsy rocks with a harder but relatively lighter material to ensure his
The new work has powerful qualities that surpass any similar magic puppet in the past. After several considerations, Peak chose black crystal, an obsidian crystal mine produced locally in Bracada, which is hard and lightweight.
However, the real problem comes next. Facing the black crystal, which is much harder than gravel, is there any way to accurately shape it according to the alchemist's ideas? And this is in all the known magic documents in the past.
It's all a blank.
But in the end, Peaky Blinders succeeded. Through some very special alchemical techniques, he overcame the "inferiority" of crystal ore that was difficult to transform, and then used black crystals to perfectly construct a new body of the gargoyle, and made it consistent with its inner nature.
The alchemy-driven array cooperated flawlessly. And this brand-new crystal magic puppet did not disappoint Peak. In just a few small-scale experimental battles, the Black Crystal Gargoyle easily defeated two to three times the number of stone monsters.
puppet, and its own losses are slight.
It's just a pity that before Peak Jim could officially announce the results of his years of painstaking research, the ice apocalypse suddenly broke out across the entire plane. Like countless other magical civilizations that were forced to disappear, it was enough to become the history of alchemical puppetry.
The smoky crystal gargoyle that was a glorious milestone was also buried in the ruthless mists of history together with its owner, and no one knows about it anymore.
Moriarty was very lucky to have obtained this complete magic crystal gargoyle from the Moon River Guild. However, no matter how lucky he was, even if he could completely separate it into pieces through the magical function of the crystal book, he would be very lucky.
The basic puppet components could only allow Moriarty to deduce the structure of the alchemy circle run by the gargoyle through the internal connection circuits of the components, but it was impossible to discover the core secret of Peak Jem's shaping of the black crystal.
So, how did he shape the red crystal, which is stronger than the black crystal, into the magic puppet body he needed?
"I used this." Under Heyana's doubtful eyes, Moriarty took out a transparent test tube containing some kind of bright silver liquid. As the test tube shook gently, the silver liquid actually shone under the light.
Constantly reflecting the bright light like stars.
"What is this?" Heyana had never heard of this kind of alchemical reagent. She took the test tube in confusion, feeling that it was heavier than mercury.
"Crystal activator, a potion that can temporarily soften crystals and give them permanent toughness." Moriarty explained softly, and this was exactly what he found in the hidden pages of the "Arcanist's Notes" a few years ago.
Obtained one of the two alchemical formulas from the ancient Elf Empire.
Looking down at the silver potion in her hand, Haierna was astonished as if she had been cast a restraining spell. It took a long time before she looked up at her fiancé and said, "Could it be that you..."
"Yes, I made this potion." Moriarty nodded: "The formula was obtained by chance before, and it was not until recently that I finally succeeded in refining it."
"Morty, this is really... really..." Heyana really didn't know what to say. Although she was not an alchemist, she also understood what the appearance of the crystal activator meant.
In the past, the reason why magic equipment was so expensive was not only the extremely high technical threshold, but also the limitations of materials. Ordinary metals are mostly not suitable for making magic weapons or armor due to their natural conductivity.
A certain proportion of mithril or other precious magic metals must be infiltrated into it to make it meet the minimum standards of alchemy. As a result, the manufacturing cost immediately soars. Moreover, the annual output of mithril and other magic metals is extremely low.
This further pushed up the price of magic equipment.
In contrast, crystal minerals have excellent internal magic conductivity and have a hard and solid structure. They are a very suitable alchemical material. However, it is precisely because of the difficulty of shaping that it has been difficult for alchemists to actually develop this material for a long time.
The alchemical potential of such minerals. But now, once the crystal activator comes out, it is truly equivalent to detonating a new "material destiny" in the entire magical world, and its impact can be described as far-reaching.
"Morty, what are you going to do with it?" Compared with the two, the red crystal gargoyle on the side no longer seemed so special and important. Heyana looked at her fiancé and asked softly.
"I will copy the original recipe and give it to Uncle Schmidt. I will give the modified version to Hockenheim as a way to repay some favor."
Now that the red crystal gargoyle has been created, Moriarty has no intention of hiding it, and there is no way to hide it. The secret of the corresponding crystal activator cannot be kept forever. And judging from the current situation of Earth Studio, it is impossible to support it.
It can afford the ability and strength to develop crystal alchemy equipment on a large scale. Therefore, instead of enduring pressure and coercion from all sides later, and not reaping much benefit, it is better to throw out the activator formula in advance.
In this way, it can not only deepen the foundation and connections of Moriarty and Earth Studio in Hockenheim, but it is also a disguised form of self-protection.
Of course, as Moriarty said, even though he decided to hand over the formula, there are differences.
As Moriarty's relative and mentor, Schmidt has an inseparable relationship. Blood is thicker than water, so what he will get will be the original crystal activator formula that has not been modified. I believe that Schmidt will get it when he gets it.
After creating such a formula, he will guard its secrets as if he were guarding his own life. As for Hockenheim College, what Moriarty will hand over will be a "carefully improved" version. Compared with the original version, the modified version of the formula has a higher manufacturing cost.
It has increased ten times, but its activation efficiency has shrunk by nearly 70%. Taken together, the college's comprehensive cost of using crystal activators will be dozens of times higher than that of Earth Studio in the future. But even so, Hockenheim's
The tangible and intangible benefits gained will still be too great to count.
"Well, thank you, Morty." As Moriarty's fiancée and Schmidt's daughter, Heyana doesn't care how much strength her father's alchemy studio will increase due to the crystal activator. What makes her happy is that her life
The two most important men in the relationship can maintain a close and seamless relationship. This is the most important thing in Heyna's eyes.
Two days later, Moriarty went to Schmidt's mage tower alone. No one knew what the two alchemists talked about in the main floor of the tower. About three hours later, Master Depra received an inexplicable message.
An urgent magic communication came from the mid-level mage, asking him to go to the mage tower immediately, and it was of great importance. The high-level mage who knew Schmidt's nature immediately did not dare to neglect, hurried over, and waited in the main floor of the tower.
In addition to Schmidt, he also had Moriarty standing quietly on one side and a translucent light silver alchemical potion.
"What did you say! Crystal Activator!" After so many years, the high-ranking mage no longer remembers having such excitement and excitement. No longer caring about the master's demeanor, Depra stepped forward and took it from Moriarty's hand.
He took the test tube and almost shouted at the same time.
"Yes, crystal activator can be used for the alchemical shaping of most known crystal minerals." Moriarty said solemnly, not being intimidated by the provost who suddenly fell into a "violent state".
"Prove it!" Without saying a word, Depra handed the potion back to the other party. The high-level mage couldn't believe what he just heard without seeing the actual effect.
"Yes, Master."
Moriarty nodded. On the side, Schmidt took a silver plate, which contained a piece of black crystal about the size of a thumb.
"Master Depra, this is an ordinary obsidian." Moriarty pointed to the black crystal.
"That's right." Depra reached out and picked up the crystal block in his hand, caressed it carefully for a moment, then put it back on the plate and nodded at the same time.
"yes."
After the other party checked that the raw materials were correct, Moriarty opened the seal of the test tube and slowly poured the translucent solution onto the obsidian. Immediately, the unusually hard black crystal seemed to turn into a sponge, which was enough to submerge the crystal.
All the liquid in the body was absorbed into it. Then, when the activator in the entire test tube was poured out, a hazy silver light immediately wrapped around the surface of the crystal.
"Please take a look."
After waiting for about ten minutes for the potion to take effect, Moriarty gently held the obsidian in his hand, and then pinched the crystal with the middle and index fingers of his right hand. Immediately, the originally spherical black crystal seemed to be unable to bear the two fingers.
Like a powerful force, it began to slowly sink toward the center of the ball. Then, under Depra's wide-open eyes, Moriarty pinched both ends of the black crystal again, and gently pulled it up on both sides like making noodles. Then,
The obviously softened crystal continued to grow longer and thinner with the mage's movements, until it finally reached the limit of traction and broke apart.
"Please wait a little longer." After performing the magic of shaping, Moriarty smiled slightly, put the two broken rope-shaped ink crystals back into the plate, and then said to the high-level mage.
"Yes." Depra nodded, her face rosy as if she had drank a glass of fine wine.
About half an hour later, Moriarty picked up a black crystal from the plate and handed it to the high-level mage.
Depra gently took it and bent the "crystal rope" hard. He felt that the crystal in his hand had returned to its original strength and hardness. But what surprised him even more was that the black crystal that had been treated with crystal activator actually became
It also has a little bit of resilience. It's incredible to the extreme.
