Chapter 74 branch, brute force potion, smooth and difficult
That night, Heyana informed her father about Moriarty's request to purchase a "Mud Footsteps" and "Water Therapy" spell learning scroll from the studio. In this regard, the mid-level mage did not express any opinions, but directly opened the permission to let
Haierna went to the vault on the fourth floor of the mage tower and took out the scroll. Of course, the cost of the spell scroll would be automatically deducted from the interest-free loan of 50,000 gold coins.
However, after successfully obtaining "Mud Footsteps" and "Water Therapy", Moriarty temporarily sealed them up. Since he had just recorded the "Fire Magic Defense" in the crystal book, Moriarty planned to put this in first place.
Study the newly acquired first-level spells before continuing with the next steps. After all, biting off more than you can chew, simple mechanical copying is not in line with Moriarty's consistent philosophy.
When his spell learning began to get on track "step by step", Moriarty devoted most of his energy to the field of alchemy.
Different from spell research, alchemy is a magic subject that pays great attention to practical operation and accumulation of experience. According to the different types of alchemy products, its system can be subdivided into "equipment system", "pharmaceutical system" and "puppet system"
, "Special Department" and many other different branches. When most alchemists first come into contact with alchemy, they will consciously choose their own path among the various branches, and then continue to study and deepen it throughout their lives.
.Only a small number of alchemy masters can navigate different branches with ease. Of course, to do this requires both natural ability and financial support. What is particularly worth mentioning is that Mr. Schmidt is like this.
A master of cross-branch alchemy.
"Morty, which branch do you want to choose as your main direction of attack? The contract limit is only one year, so there is no room for progress at the same time." In the newly renovated assistant studio, Haiyanna was cautious.
He placed a batch of newly rented alchemy tools on the workbench and asked seriously.
Since the relationship has been officially confirmed, Heyana directly merged herself with Moriarty's assistant studio. Regarding such a straightforward move, Mr. Schmidt remained silent on the surface, but in fact he adjusted very happily.
The architectural structure of the mage tower was broken, connecting the two rooms that were originally adjacent to each other. Seeing her father like this, Haiyana felt a little shy afterwards, and even felt embarrassed to go to the main floor of the tower for several days.
The mage delivers the meal.
"Alchemy potion." Standing at the other end of the new studio, Moriarty carefully classified and labeled the alchemy raw materials purchased from the studio, and then placed them one by one into a huge storage box that occupied the entire wall.
In the cabinet. In order to protect certain special or precious raw materials from mutating, a storage array has been solidified in this locker.
"Potion? Well, that's a good direction." Heyana looked at Moriarty and nodded: "Dad's studio is famous in Blue Crystal City for its 'Blue Beauty' potion."
"Yes, but that's not my goal." Moriarty shook his head.
In fact, the reason why Moriarty chose potions as his initial entry point into alchemy was, on the one hand, because Schmidt was recognized as a first-class master in this branch, and he could learn from him and ask for advice; but more importantly,
The reason is that among the three alchemical formulas passed down from the Elf Empire that Moriarty obtained from the "Arcanist's Codex", two are related to potions. And if he can first achieve results and breakthroughs in alchemical potions,
, then Moriarty will have an important trump card that can survive and develop alone in the field of alchemy from now on.
"That's natural. According to Hockenheim's evaluation, Blue Beauty can be regarded as an intermediate alchemy potion. There is no way a beginner can learn to make it in one year." Haiyanna smiled softly.
Voice.
"I know." Moriarty also smiled.
There is a saying that even though Heyna didn't say it, Moriarty could also guess it directly. As the flagship product of Schmidt Studio, the formula and process of Blue Beauty are naturally top secret. Not only is it impossible for Moriarty to immediately
Obtained, even Heyana is not clear about this. Moriarty understands Schmidt's approach very well. For an alchemist, material formulas, alchemical processes and alchemical equations are his greatest wealth and
The deepest secret. Similarly, Moriarty cannot easily disclose the formulas of "Phantom Cologne" and "Crystal Activator" unless there are some special reasons.
"I suggest you choose the 'Brute Strength Potion'." At this time, Haiyanna suddenly said. This is a first-level alchemy potion, mainly used to temporarily increase the user's strength and physique.
"Brute strength potion... I have heard that it seems to be sold in most magic shops, and many warrior professionals will buy it." Moriarty has seen the introduction of this potion in "Elementary Alchemy Guide".
"Yes. Since it is only a first-level potion, it is suitable for you to learn." Haiyanna continued.
"It's practical, there's demand, and the level is appropriate." Moriarty thought about it carefully and confirmed the girl's recommendation: "And because Brute Strength Potion is a widely circulated alchemical potion, the formula is almost public.
.If you take it as your goal, you won’t have to spend a lot of money to buy formulas.”
Because of the renovation of the studio, the rental of alchemy tools, the purchase of raw materials and special lockers, Moriarty's interest-free loan cost another 10,000 yuan in a few days. Of course, if it weren't for the special gift given by Schmidt Studio,
With the preferential price, I'm afraid this figure will be even more than half. Therefore, Moriarty does not intend to spend a large amount of extra money on the alchemy potion formula.
"Then, it's decided." Seeing that her opinion was finally accepted by Moriarty, Heyana was also very happy: "The formula is in the studio, I will go get it later."
"Okay, thank you." Moriarty thought for a moment, nodded, and then said, "What about you, Heyna? What are your study plans? Should you focus on spells or alchemy?"
"Spells. You have already learned two first-level spells, and you plan to be promoted to an official mage next year. I don't want to be left behind too much." Haiyanna answered directly, obviously she had already made up her mind.
"Well. Then for your second spell, why not learn the 'Magic Arrow'? I have some experience and knowledge about this spell and can help you master it." At this time, Moriarty said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Haiyanna agreed without hesitation.
In the days that followed, Moriarty began twenty hours of alchemical experiments and study every day. In addition to the essential physical exercise, Moriarty never stepped out of the studio. Experiments, meditation, spell learning,
Resting, experimenting, meditating, learning spells... Moriarty is like a precise and boring clock, completing the practice of spells and alchemy day after day.
At Moriarty's request, Heyana also temporarily let go of the internal chores in the Mage Tower, and directly hired two mage apprentices from the academy to complete various tedious administrative tasks.
Three months later, Moriarty, who had fully mastered the "Fire Magic Defense", included "Muddy Steps" in the crystal book. At the same time, regarding the brute force potion, Moriarty successfully completed the analysis of its alchemical equation.
and derivation, and began to conduct experiments on the preparation of the sixteen raw materials required for refining the potion one by one.
Six months later, "Muddy Footsteps" was completely digested. Combined with "Breath of Wind", Moriarty already had a set of very practical combination spells.
However, after "Mudful Footsteps", Moriarty did not immediately inscribe "Water Therapy". The reason was that the pressure on the alchemy line was increasing, and he no longer had the time and energy to fight on two fronts.
"Morty, is it still not possible?"
Another experiment failed, and the studio was filled with a sour and pungent gray smoke. As an assistant, Heyna immediately opened the ventilation system to suck the mist away, but her originally fair and tender cheeks were still smoked, making her eyes and nose red.
"Well, it failed. Excessive heating of the base solution resulted in an abnormal explosion of 'active substances', which in turn triggered a 'chain Neil reaction.'" Standing upright in front of the test bench, Moriarty's eyes had even begun to become bloodshot.
, but still stared intently at the half-broken transparent test tube on the stand in front of him and only the next bit of dark green liquid remaining in it.
"This must be the eighteenth time." Heyna looked at Moriarty and sighed softly.
"Hyana, how much Kiki grass do we have?" At this time, Moriarty asked in a deep voice.
"About an ounce of stock." Heyana thought for a moment and replied.
"It seems that I have to buy some more." Moriarty nodded and stopped talking. Instead, he began to clean up the debris and stains on the test bench, and then set up new equipment to prepare for another test.
"Morty, take a rest. You have been working for fourteen hours straight." Although Haierna also came forward to help, she couldn't help but persuade her.
"I will, try it again, and then rest." Moriarty turned his head and tried to force a smile on his already stiff face.
"I'm going to get some hot soup. Drink some before going to bed. It's good for your health." Seeing this smile, Heyana gently stepped forward and hugged Moriarty, resting her head on his chest, and spent a good time.
After a while, he let go and walked out of the studio.
"Thank you." Moriarty took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the test platform.
Thirty minutes later, accompanied by ear-splitting explosions, choking smoke filled the entire studio again.
