Fang Yu picked up the crystal on the workbench - the workbench provided by the Oshu people had various crystals, cassiterite, crystal, sphalerite, garnet - they were similar to their counterparts on the earth, but
Often have different properties.
The element ether grows with the crystals and gives them a magnificent color. However, a crystal is already a very familiar thing to Fang Plover. The monoclinic crystal system shines with a light blue and slightly purple luster, and the milky white light spots are magical.
The endpoint of the guide glove extends above the spar like a growing branch.
Friston watched this beautiful scene in silence - for any alchemist, this can be regarded as a beautiful scene, just like someone picking up chalk and writing a set of formulas on the blackboard, those
The formulas naturally derive many self-consistent calculations, the logic of which is strict and equidistant, but someone can always find the hidden values and laws between them.
Discovering the inevitable connection between things, elements and ether from the underworld, and reflecting it into reality, this is the beauty of alchemy.
What the president saw was that he used simple means to intervene in the distribution of ether in the crystal, find those nodes related to the elements, and use alchemical means to remove impurities to make it purer.
It's not that those simple methods have never been thought of by predecessors, but they always encounter unsolvable problems. But he silently watched Fang Plover use the characteristics of the crystal itself, or the characteristics of some magic materials to bypass the checkpoints.
The genius concepts and wonderful ideas that shine through are always enlightening, or there is a hidden path behind the twists and turns.
The essence of alchemy is that it can change all properties of matter. Even stubborn stones can be turned into gold. Once it penetrates to the bottom of matter and decomposes everything into starlight, starlight can naturally be reshaped into everything.
But the means of controlling Starlight are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It's not like Friston has never seen the rumored Philosopher's Stone. He has seen the shining blue brilliance in the great crystal veins, which is actually the star brilliance.
However, the greatness of the alchemists is that they can accomplish all this with a cheap layer of etheric magic. The work of magical skills is actually to pursue a balance, using wonderful ideas to replace rough and direct methods, and the amount of magic invested -
—
The eyeballs of the Silver Blazing Forest can sense the smallest changes in magic power. As long as the effective structure is extracted, it can be used to replace the alchemist's own detection ability.
Between the transformations, the total amount of magic power invested did not actually change, but the magic power structure of the Silver Blazing Forest was used, and the creation of the elements above the sea of clouds was far more sophisticated and efficient than the alchemist's own design.
The resistance in the scales of the Malv frog has repelling properties against the fire element, and it can mark the fire element impurities in the crystal. In 749, Sir Haven made a similar design, but found that the benthic creatures themselves
The elemental structure is too fragile and cannot be extracted——
"How do you plan to get around the characteristics of low-dwelling creatures?" Friston asked as he watched him pick up the scales, which were as hard as minerals.
Fang Plover picked up a piece of pyrite.
This problem had troubled him for a long time, but in the end he discovered that there was a long-invented magic reagent in Kaulin-Ithulian's library that could effectively solve this problem - it has been six years since the drawing of the magic reagent came out.
For ten years, no one cared about it. He just bought the patent for a small price.
The owner of the design of Reagent No. 40441 may not be alive today, and the design itself may even be just recorded by the other party during an inadvertent experiment, and recorded in the Craftsmen Association in exchange for some points.
Examples like this actually happen all the time in the history books of alchemy.
As a short-lived species, mortals preserve vast amounts of wisdom in various ways, most of which may be nameless. It may be just an inspiration, a joke, or a gadget that has no effect in the eyes of others.
But no one can guess whether this humble design will one day shine on another technical route. Like a spark hidden in the embers, perhaps future generations will pick it up and put it in a lighthouse.
among.
The blazing flames will illuminate the darkness of the ignorant wilderness.
The main component of that reagent is pyrite, which is dissolved into the magic reagent No. 7 to make a suspension for later use. The reagents before No. 30 are one of the earliest inventions of mortal alchemists, and are also known as
Call it a basic reagent.
As the president of the Craftsmen Guild, Friston naturally recognized the name of that rare reagent.
Unlike ordinary people, he has read most documents and studied some very unorthodox designs over the centuries, trying to find a way to the ultimate path from those geniuses who are different from ordinary people, but all these attempts have failed.
Failed.
He watched Fang Plover put the red scales into the suspension liquid and remained silent. He had not done any similar experimental design, but he could draw a rough conclusion simply from the analysis of the etheric properties of the material.
He saw at a glance that there was a flaw in that design. The magic reagent prepared from sulfide minerals was highly active in the etheric nature and would passivate the material, but of course he would not point this out on the field.
What's more, Fang Yu was very confident. Friston quietly watched how the other party planned to solve this problem.
Then he saw Fang Pliant calling the staff and whispering some instructions. The staff quickly fetched a batch of red cassiterite. The etheric nature of red cassiterite has the effect of absorbing magic power, and it can only absorb magic power of a single element.
Friston raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
"How do you plan to channel elemental impurities?"
"There is a rare type of triclinic crystal that can guide elemental impurities out, such as rhodonite and axite in elemental environments. However, these two types of elemental crystals are very rare, but their ether structure is actually not complicated. We can design it ourselves -
—”
"Mr. President, it's nothing more than investing in magic power."
Friston watched the other party build a magic circle on the crystal. It must be the most concise form left after countless experiments. Finally, he summarized it into a harmonious and concise answer, which was the birth of the alchemical formula.
.
That form opened up a new way of thinking for him. It was an extremely exquisite design, but it didn't seem to be the usual way of thinking of Hellingwell or Jeldham.
It is more like an experienced crystal craftsman who uses the characteristics of minerals to achieve his goals.
Friston felt a sense of familiarity.
But of course Fang Plover would not tell him that this was Hain-Fam's design. The great alchemist would not write down every specific preparation step, but he also mentioned the properties of those rare minerals in the design.
and the means to utilize them.
That is one of the most outstanding crystal craftsmen in the world.
For alchemists who have gone deep into this path, that series of descriptions is almost equivalent to the answer, but using the eyeballs of the Silver Blazing Forest and the scales of the Malv Frog is indeed a method that Fang Plover came up with himself.
At that time, he had just started to come into contact with this path, and his methods were somewhat naive.
However, there are many paths to alchemy, but in the end they lead to the same destination.
Then he repeatedly used the same method, but using different materials to remove different elements of the ether in the crystal. After the crystal was ready, he silently placed a translucent crystal with milky white light on the workbench.
Friston stared at the crystal and said nothing for a long time.
But this is a game, and besides the craftsman president, there are many spectators.
Normally, the audience naturally cannot understand the real meaning behind this series of operations, because most people neither understand the etheric properties of Silver Blazing Forest nor understand the etheric properties of reagents prepared with sulfide minerals.
How to eliminate.
In their view, the alchemist's operation is more like a mysterious witchcraft. He puts several strange-looking materials into the reactor, shakes them in the glass vessel, or heats and stirs them, and finally generates some reagents.
On the surface, that's exactly what it looks like.
But this is a game after all. There are still professional commentators on the hosting stage, and the anchors in the live broadcast room will also mention some professional directions. Although most of these people are stumbling, a few experts in the picture even have big heads.
Sweating——
From time to time, they would ask: "... Player Ed seems to be removing elemental impurities, but the element ether in the crystal is almost symbiotic with it. No one has ever done it before."
"Juno chose a simpler method, using the method of improving the magic furnace. The tower magic furnace itself has better affinity, so there is nothing wrong with following this path."
"Originally, the association did not expect the players to bring any technological breakthroughs. They just wanted to see these young geniuses show their own unique ideas."
"But it's different with the Dragon Alchemist. After all, we all know that he once took out real objects in the sea of trees space."
"Those seem to be the scales of Malv frogs. Sir Haven once made a similar design in 794, but how did he plan to solve the problem of the fragile elemental structure of benthic organisms?"
"Pyrite, what reagent is he making?"
The staff hurriedly walked back and forth between the hosting platform and the arena, actually asking for the opinions of real professionals. There were several high-level alchemists and even great craftsmen in the empire workshops and craftsmen's associations outside the arena who were paying attention to this event.
The choice of the Holy King.
But they could still get some answers at first, but over time the eyes of the master craftsmen became more solemn, and some even murmured to themselves with expressions of ecstasy, although the words they muttered were incomprehensible to outsiders: "
Heldite, rhodonite, was this reagent invented by him or was it recorded in the library? Ether diversion, I see, why didn’t I expect that ether diversion can be used in this way——"
On the one hand, the experts were confused, but the audience gradually understood it——
They understood at least one thing, that is, the attributeless magic furnace that Fang Plover completed in the space of the sea of trees could be reproduced in the real world.
After all, that happened several months ago. Even if the interested audience looked up the information on their own, they would roughly understand the true significance of that technology. If ordinary people can also adapt to the magic of ether.
Is that closely related to each of them?
Some people may even ask, does that mean that tourists can also become real professionals through the non-attribute magic furnace?
Will the Stargate be opened to more groups?
But the alchemists were concerned with something deeper.
The voices of whispers were not louder, but instead became deeper. The alchemists in the hall tried to lower their voices to discuss, as if they were afraid of disturbing the masterpiece in front of them.
The bottom core of the crystal is still the same as its composition, with the numerous magic circles engraved in it by the light network of the ether, a complex and exquisite alchemical formula, which writes that in the most timeless language in the world.
The answer to the ultimate question.
Naturally, people cannot see through the crystal’s exterior:
"That crystal is...?"
"It was actually realized in this way. How was the magic circle written down? Was it his own design, or was there another reason?"
"I never thought that the sixth technical route would be realized in front of me in this way. This is really..."
"It's so bizarre..."
But Fang Yu did not answer those questions.
He just put the crystal down gently, as if it was not a priceless thing, but just an ordinary magic core crystal. Just like that spanned a thousand years, at the same place, in the same place.
On this occasion, the great alchemist also looked at the magic crystal he created, and then gently put it down.
And so an era was born.
It's just that that era was created by the great alchemist, and he just brought another era to the world.
Friston watched the crystal gently rotating on the table. He seemed to have realized that Fang Pulmon gave him the answers to two questions. The answers included not only the non-attribute magic furnace, but also the ones related to the magical furnace.
matching crystal.
Could it be that he had really met Hellinwell and Jeldham...?
Those two people had come so far.
The president was shaken for a moment, but then he became firm again, because there was an insurmountable barrier on that road, and even the birth of the Fairy Dragon Soul could not make up for it. On the road of building the soul
No one has gone further than him.
Fang Plover did not raise his head either.
Because for the game, it was only halfway through, and even for him, it was less than half.
Friston just opened his mouth to ask, but suddenly he took back his words because he saw Fang Plover put up a board, picked up a pen and wrote lines of formulas on it, and finally drew under those formulas
An extremely complex array.
"Ed this is..."
Soul Fingerprint's sharp eyes saw the most critical part of those formulas at a glance. Even though she was not the most outstanding alchemist, she still understood the specific meaning of those formulas because it was so clear, clear and beautiful.
Many people stopped. Juno, who was not far away, simply stopped what he was doing, folded his hands and looked in this direction. Geogiffen behind him also agreed. The contestants stopped one after another.
Come down.
They have more or less realized that this game has exceeded its original significance.
What they were doing has lost most of its value.
From the highest position down, the rest were more or less eclipsed. Those people were somewhat proud, and they simply stopped.
Fang Plover propped up the board and said to Friston:
"This contains the inheritance I received from my predecessors, as well as the ideas I refined myself. I wrote down the specific steps. There are many immature places in it, but I don't mind people reading them one by one. It has already written down the path to success.
The road to the final ladder, whether you follow that road or follow my immature design, you can get the final answer."
"What all this lacks, in my opinion, is just time——"
"You want to record it in the association?" Friston looked deeply at the young man in front of him, "Are you sure?"
"I don't have the skills," Fang Plover replied, "I want to continue the competition."
"The game is already-"
Friston looked back at the others, and none of the young contestants objected.
"No," Fang Yu looked at him and shook his head, "Mr. President, the game has just begun."
The president was slightly startled.
Then he saw Fang Yu put his hand on the tower magic furnace. The next work was very simple. It was far less than the significance of the birth of the crystal. Some of the work seemed very simple to him.
It looked familiar, because he had seen the design of his 'old friend' centuries ago.
Those designs were actually very mature for that era.
In fact, for Fang Plover, assembling this magic furnace is naturally far less skillful than constructing the A crystal. He has only reappeared once in the sea of trees space, but the stumbling assembly itself is not.
It does not change the value of this magic furnace itself.
He disassembled the tower magic furnace bit by bit, changed the circuits, built the grid, added the parts that were not on the design drawings, shaped each part, and then assembled it.
Every part of the finally completed non-attribute magic furnace has a clear function, and Friston can understand its principle without any explanation.
After all, the non-attribute magic furnace itself is not complicated, and what it originally lacks is only the core part.
But that part.
Now we have the answer.
In less than a quarter of an hour of the whole process, Fang Yu had already pushed Qingqing's tower-type magic furnace in front of the president, raised his head, and said softly: "This is the true meaning of the tower-type magic furnace.
Direction, what the Empire is looking for."
Many high-level alchemists on the periphery were breaking away from the crowd, trying to squeeze in and take a look.
There was a commotion outside the hall, and incredible whispers were passing through the crowd. The great alchemist had arrived, and the great alchemist Amasite was outside. People exclaimed in low voices, and the crowd automatically separated into a path, and people from outside were hurriedly walking in.
Fang Yu looked at the craftsman president in front of him and spoke again: "It's just that this answer is somewhat different..."
"What do you mean?" Looking at the boy, Friston looked confused for the first time.
"What is Ed doing?"
Mu Lan was so anxious that she almost jumped up. She subconsciously looked at the two leaders of the group, only to find that Ming was blocking everyone. "Ed told me," the Construct Queen said, "This is just
Regarding the matter between him and the Imperial people, if his answer is accurate, there is no need for you to stop him."
She looked at the soul fingerprint.
Soul Fingerprint nodded with difficulty, "I don't quite understand, but what Ed handed over should be much more complete than others... Even if he was a little rude to the president, the empire should not
As for taking away his achievements."
She was very confused and said: "What happened to Ed? Why did he talk to that president like that?"
"I don't know either."
Ming shook his head.
Mu Lan looked at the Construct Queen and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fang Yu glanced in the direction of the auditorium. He not only saw Ming, but also the ship officer lady in that direction. Sylvester's eyes were still bright, and she nodded gently to him from a distance, but there was a slight hint of confusion in her eyes.
A hint of worry.
Fang Yu felt guilty, but he didn't say much, or even answered Friston's question. He just turned around. At this moment, the crowd was in a commotion. After the wall of people separated to the left and right, a group of people gathered around the person.
A great alchemist appeared in that direction.
Amasite walked into the hall, his stern eyes immediately locked on the tower magic furnace in front of Friston, and asked:
"Is this what it's really like?"
"Friston, is this what you've been looking for?"
He looked at Fang Plover again.
But Fang Yu turned a deaf ear. He had already met the great alchemist, and his noble status did not have any ripples in his heart. He only remembered the stubbornness and arrogance of the imperial people, and the alchemy he saw at that time.
The Holy Land is nothing more than that.
He only looked at the president, as if he was the only one left in the entire hall, just like in the high tower. Under the gaze of the other party, Fang Plover picked up a piece of taka-ko from the workbench.
Kabah's Star Crystal.
The lizard man also called it the Star Fragments. When he first communicated with the staff, he asked the other party to bring this material together. This kind of crystal is actually not a rare mineral, not to mention that in the Holy King's Choice, Austrian
The narrator often provides some valuable treasures.
Friston's eyebrows jumped when he saw the crystal.
As the founder of the Soul School, he naturally understands what it is. There is nothing better than a star crystal to be a container for the soul. Many magicians even call this crystal a soul stone.
In fact, Luo Fen was holding such a crystal at this moment. Unlike everyone else, this young man was the only one who did not stop working until he inadvertently raised his head and glanced in Fang Plover's direction.
And this glance made him unable to look away again.
Fang Plover put a ray of light into the crystal.
It is as if a star is born in the crystal, blooming with incomparably beautiful brilliance. The green light is as dazzling as the stars, and it constructs the original form of wisdom, memory and cognition.
Although it was just a prototype, Friston's heart had already stirred up waves. It was the method of shaping the soul, and he naturally knew it very well, because it was his own skill, but who taught it to him?
"you……"
Friston wanted to speak, but was speechless for the moment.
There was even more silence in the hall, and the alchemists looked at each other. They could roughly tell that this should be something from the Soul School, but hadn't the other party already chosen the topic of Tower Magic Furnace?
Although the history of the Holy King's Choice has never said that two questions cannot be completed at the same time, most people will not do such a meaningless thing, not to mention that the Soul School is not so recognized even among the imperial alchemists.
route.
Some people even think that the Dragon Alchemist may be just showing off his skills or trying to please the craftsman president. Everyone knows that this president has an unusual view and point of view on the Soul School.
However, Fang Yu knew clearly that it was not just opinions and opinions, but that the person in front of him was the founder of the Soul School.
in a sense.
He can be regarded as the other party's student.
But he was not begging for the other party's approval. In fact, the people around him could see this from the changing expressions on Friston's face. The president had a look of shock on his face, as if he had seen something incredible.
things.
But most of the people present couldn't understand what was going on. Either they didn't understand the Soul School, or they didn't understand it that deeply. Some of them might recognize it as a star crystal, but most of them didn't even know how to do it.
It's impossible to tell what the plover was doing in the crystal.
If there was a magician here who was good at this, he might be able to give a rough idea.
In the entire Holy King's Hall, only two people actually understood this scene.
One is Friston.
The other one was Luo Fen, who was completely stunned.
Outside the Hall of the Holy King, among the people watching the live broadcast of the game, there was another person who also understood - in front of the illusory light curtain, the young man known as the Gray King by the world had a look on his face.
He looked at this scene indifferently and raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the hall, there were people who couldn't understand this scene, but they understood what was happening. The person who had been hiding behind the crowd, his eyes wandered between Fang Plover and Friston, then turned around and ran out of the hall.
——
In the crystal in Fang Yu's hand, the light is extinguishing little by little, and finally turns into darkness.
The jet-black crystal rested in the palm of his hand.
He has seen this crystal before.
The moment Nini was born.
Friston looked at the crystal, and his eyebrows were wrinkled tightly at first, and he could not even let go. The president's face was even a little distorted, he clenched his teeth, his cheeks were slightly bulging, and his forehead even had a pimple.
Strips of veins:
"This is impossible!"
"This is……"
"this……"
Fang Yu replied: "This is the world after the starlight is extinguished. The essence that makes the soul reside here is no different from the shadow man. He has already figured out the answer. In fact, he just borrowed my words to tell others
It’s just you.”
He said word by word: "Mr. President."
That was everything he had seen in the tower, the answer that the genius showed him.
He finally figured out how to reproduce it, and made up his mind to show it in this game. It was as if he had crossed the barrier of years and time, and two identical souls were questioning each other face to face, which path is really right?
Does it lead to the right answer?
"Mr. President," Fang Pliong said, "I have proven that that road is unworkable."
Friston hesitated to speak. It was difficult for him to accept this reality, and he actually took a few steps back.
But some of the people around who couldn't understand sternly asked: "The great alchemist Mr. Amasite is asking you a question. Young man, are you turning a deaf ear? No matter how outstanding your talent in alchemy is, how can you
If you don't have basic etiquette, even if you get here, the Holy King's Hall can deprive you of your qualifications!"
Only then did Fang Plover turn around.
He no longer spoke, nor did he need words. He didn't know how the imperial people would react. Would they change their ways or make him bow his head?
Fortunately, he was already prepared.
He turned around and saw clearly the man who was scolding him. In fact, he only saw clearly the great alchemist Amasite, the old man standing there. As for the people standing next to him, he ignored them one by one.
There will always be those snarky clowns in history, but they have no place in the long history of alchemy. But this old man will leave a profound mark in the history of the Oshu people. What does the other party think of him?
How about all this change?
Amasite was looking at him with deep eyes and said nothing.
And another group of people rushed into the hall. They were a group of knights and guards covered in thick armor. A man walked in front of them, separated from the crowd, pointed at Fang Plover, and said sternly:
"It's him who used forbidden alchemy in the competition in the Holy King's Hall," the young man ordered to the guards in a sharp voice: "There is reason to suspect that he has an affair with dark creatures, catch him!"
Forbidden art.
Fang Plover looked at Friston on one side, and he was not too surprised that this was still the reason.
He suddenly remembered the story of Mount Covenant that Miss Miya had told him.
But Friston's face showed a look of shock and anger. He was looking at the young man, "Asshole, who are you? Who let you in? I don't know if there are any forbidden spells in the competition in the Hall of the Holy King.
What nonsense are you talking about!?"
His words made Fang Yu somewhat startled. He originally thought that this was what the president meant, but now that he thought about it, it was true that the other party hadn't reacted yet. How could these guards come so quickly?
He couldn't help but look at Amasite standing aside, but the great alchemist also frowned and looked thoughtful.
Friston was furious, waved his hand to the guards and said: "This is the Craftsmen's Association, get out of here!"
But the young man didn't panic and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "This is your majesty's order. President Friston, your majesty has already understood everything. The knight in the silver helmet obeys the order - take him down."
!”
"His Majesty?"
Friston's expression on his face changed for a while. He suddenly thought of something and raised his head, "A family of seven wizards?"
At this moment, the great alchemist Amasite on the side finally made up his mind and said: "President Friston, the alchemy he used just now is indeed unusual for us. Can I check that crystal to see what's inside?"
What are the ingredients?”
Friston's voice faltered.
"Give me the crystal," he looked back at Fang Plover and whispered, "I'll take you out of this place."
But Fang Yu held the crystal and shook his head at him.
He came here just to get the attitude of the empire. Although the president's reaction was a little beyond his expectation, he actually got the answer from the appearance of those silver-helmeted knights.
If he leaves this place without a name, then all his efforts in this competition will be in vain. The Empire claims that he has an affair with a cultist, how can he prove this slander on his own?
Fang Yu looked at Ms. Ming on the side.
Sure enough, Ming was separating from the crowd and stepping forward, but this lady looked at Fang Plover as if she was about to get angry - so, this - is - the technical skills you are talking about.
—Different?
The Construct Queen managed not to break her teeth and resisted the urge to step forward and punch Fang Bangbang twice.
She just came to the crowd and stopped the imperial knights first.
