Walking out of the dimensional door, there is a dark void in front of you. There is no way forward and no retreat. It is like being suspended in another strange universe. Only a huge polyhedron is stationed above the head, emitting colorful light, becoming
The source of all light.
The only thing that makes people happy is that the previously terrifyingly powerful space absorption power suddenly disappeared in this world. It was as if the heavy shackles on the body were suddenly removed, making people feel so light that they were almost floating.
Desire - the illusion of immortality.
When Moriarty stood still in the void, the radiance of the polyhedron that was constantly jumping suddenly changed, forming beams of light beams that continued to fall, sweeping across the intruder's body. Immediately, Moriarty felt as if he had become red all of a sudden.
-The body is ordinary, there is no secret at all. Only the crystal book in the soul is glittering and translucent, allowing the colorful light beams not to penetrate at all.
At the same time, under the illumination of the polyhedron, all the alchemy items carried by Moriarty seemed to have lost their effect. Not only was the space pocket no longer able to be opened, but all magical equipment including the "Zodiac Star Palace" was ineffective.
Even treasures such as "Serena's Secret Eye" or "Lolerei's Feather of Transformation" were forcibly shielded, so much so that Moriarty could not help but reveal his original human appearance.
Seeing this, Moriarty was shocked at first, then calmed down and thought deeply.
After a moment, the colorful and dazzling light beams faded away, and the void returned to gray. But at the same time, the polyhedron slowly descended from above until it came to the intruder. Only then did Moriarty finally discover that it turned out that
The polyhedron is so huge that it is almost the size of a castle in the real world. Compared with it, I am extremely small. If this is also an enchanted work, it is the largest one Moriarty has seen so far, even bigger than the Secret Pyramid.
It must be huge. Its size alone is enough to go down in history and be worshiped by countless alchemists.
However, a work of this scale has not left a single word in any magic books, so it seems to be a secret masterpiece of Marquez.
When Moriarty was carefully observing the giant object in front of him, suddenly, another piece of light shot out from the already calm polyhedron, and hexagonal cursors condensed one after another in front of him. At first glance, it seemed as if one side was spread out flat.
But the number of cursors is really large. At a glance, there are at least thousands. And inside each six-sided cursor, there is embedded a physical image of a certain material. Either metal or mineral.
Materials, magic cores, or rare fruits are all precious raw materials that can be used in various alchemies. There are even many of them that Moriarty has only seen pictures and introductions in books before, and has never come into contact with real objects.
At the same time as the six-sided cursor fell, a cold voice also sounded in Moriarty's ears: "Select three raw materials and create an enchanting prop within one hour. Theme: The Enchanter's 'Future'.
"
The Enchanter’s…future?
When he heard such test questions, Moriarty was immediately startled and his eyebrows tightened.
I have to say that this is an extremely broad question and very difficult to answer. It seems to have no obvious restrictions or shackles, but it directly points to the true heart of the alchemist. It is a "heart-killing" question that tests ideas and thinking.
high.
At the same time, although the Emperor of Magic generously gave a promise to choose three materials at will. In other words, the examiner can choose three of any materials among the thousands of "six-sided cursors", even some rare materials.
No regrets. But unfortunately, the cold voice set a time limit of one hour, which immediately narrowed the actual range of choices to the extreme. Because the more precious the raw materials, the longer the processing time and the longer the process.
It’s cumbersome. Not to mention just one hour. If we use conventional craftsmanship, it’s almost not enough to make the most common “+1” magic dagger, let alone others. Therefore, the “promise of randomly selecting three materials” is even more
It seems to be a bad check. Even if Marx is willing to give it, the examinee will not be able to accept it.
Fifty-nine minutes left…
Moriarty's gaze continued to scan the many six-sided cursors. And following his gaze, the cursors seemed to be responsive. They would suddenly enlarge or shrink. And once he fixed his gaze, the cursor that was focused on would disappear.
It will immediately turn the virtual into reality. The material images in it will also be converted into real objects at once.
future?
With his wandering gaze, Moriarty was also thinking rapidly in his mind.
In fact, it's not like he hasn't thought about such questions in the past. Because if you want to study everything in detail, you will eventually return to the similar origin, that is: "what" and "why". Only by answering these two questions clearly
Only by asking this question can you see the true nature of things and not be fooled by their appearance. Otherwise, if you are inconclusive, you will just be drifting with the crowd. No matter how high your skill is, it is just a craftsman and will never become a master.
Therefore, under the premise of an extremely tight time limit, Moriarty just recollected and sorted out his past thoughts and made a plan. It was also an alchemy plan he had made before. However, it was limited to materials and environmental issues and could not be implemented that day.
, now is the time.
Then, Moriarty suddenly raised his hand and pointed rapidly in three directions: left, up, and right.
Immediately, three "six-sided cursors" emitted dazzling light, and then three materials flew out from them, floating in front of the examiner. At the same time, thousands of other cursors dimmed and disappeared.
Looking at the three materials in front of him, Moriarty looked calm and almost solemn. Because the three raw materials he selected were all rare and unusual, and rarely seen by the outside world.
They are: "Spring of Life", "Dawn Crystal", and "Soil of the Moon Well".
The vitality spring water is taken from the freshwater springs on the seabed deep in the ocean. It is lively in nature and can nourish all things. It is also of great quality. A small drop weighs nearly a kilogram. Only the mermaids living in the ocean can collect and refine it.
Dawn crystal is a special crystal condensed in the sky. It often appears and disappears in the blink of an eye. It can only be formed when the dawn appears, so it is extremely rare. The crystal can accommodate all things and is an excellent alchemy carrier.
.
Moon Well Soil, the special soil left at the bottom of the well after the legendary "Moon Well" dries up, has a magical and very nourishing effect on plants, and contains some kind of moonlight power that can attract moonlight infusion, but since the "mysterious"
After the "Garden" disappeared, everything about the "Moon Well" gradually disappeared into the dust of history.
There is no doubt that both the Vitality Spring Water and the Dawn Crystal are extremely rare treasures produced in very few quantities. However, in comparison, the Moon Well Soil is even more precious, and may even be the only one left in the world.
A solitary piece.
After selecting these three materials, Moriarty had no time to sigh and immediately started refining them.
And the alchemy method it adopts seems to be extremely simple:
First, he took the Dawn Crystal. The original stone was only the size of the tip of his little finger, but Moriarty took the trouble to cut it into eighty-one pieces of different shapes and sizes. The largest one was only a few millimeters, and the smallest one was even as big as the tip of a needle.
.
Originally, such a fine segmentation had to be done slowly using special tools in a complete laboratory. But now in a strange void and only one hour, Moriarty used the most primitive "freehand" method.
Split Dawn Crystal with a hardness similar to diamond.
And they are said to be "bare hands", but they are a pair of special hands. At some point, a thin layer of black flames has floated between Moriarty's palms, and the heat is indescribably sharp. Therefore, when the black flames are wrapped around
When his fingertips brushed against the Dawn Crystal again and again, the originally extremely hard crystal suddenly opened silently.
It took about a quarter of an hour for the Dawn Crystal to be processed.
Then, Moriarty began to fill the vital spring water and moon well soil, either alone or mixed, into the small dawn crystal grains. Especially the crystal grains filled with spring water and well soil, seemed to be the result of the two.
There are many different settings for the ratio, each with its own precise ratio. Moriarty also carried out the process very carefully without precise measuring instruments.
After about half an hour, the filling is completed.
And there were only ten minutes left.
At this time, Moriarty took a deep breath, slowly stretched out the middle finger of his left hand, and gently touched it with his right hand.
As a result, dark gold slowly appeared on the originally slender and white fingers, forming lines similar to those of plants. At the same time, the skin of the fingers began to become rough and tough, like vines.
Then, Moriarty suddenly stretched out his right index finger, and the black flames lingered on the fingertip again.
Then, the right finger gently scratched the surface of the left middle finger, like a carving, carefully cutting open the changed middle finger, cutting out one section after another and notches. Some of the wounds were even as deep as the bones. But it was shocking.
Surprisingly, no matter how tortured the middle finger of his left hand was, no blood flowed out.
It took Moriarty about five minutes to complete the "finger carving". Looking at the middle finger of his left hand, it was already shaped like layers of blooming flowers and was beyond recognition.
At this time, Moriarty extinguished the black flames, and then embedded the eighty-one filled Dawn Crystals one by one into the open skin and flesh of his middle finger like jewel inlays.
With the introduction of the Dawn Crystal, the wounds everywhere began to heal on their own, and the crystal grains were wrapped. Moreover, in the flesh and blood of the middle finger, there were traces of dark golden threads connecting the many crystal grains, connecting them together.
A complex and unified three-dimensional structure, and it is integrated with the middle finger itself as if it were one body.
Finally, when the countdown of the polyhedron sounded, Moriarty's left middle finger had returned to its original shape. Except for a faint layer of crystal luster emerging on the finger, there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.
"Submit your enchanted item."
The cold voice sounded again, and another colorful beam of light shone down from the polyhedron, completely covering the examiner.
In response, Moriarty slowly stretched out his left middle finger and pointed at the polyhedron: "My work: 'The Healing Middle Finger of Aquarius'!" (To be continued)
