After asking for enough information, David indicated that he had nothing more to ask for the time being. He immediately saw Newton happily holding his Judgment Hammer and looking at it over and over.
Originally he didn’t want to ask anything, but after seeing Newton’s behavior, David still couldn’t hold back: “Is that all it takes?”
"This is the most basic observation." Newton looked up and down several times. The more he looked, the more surprised he became. He did not try to hide the surprise on his face: "The material used for this hammer head seems to have only undergone simple processing."
Processed and not mixed with other minerals.”
The more Newton looked, the more surprised he became. The more he looked, the more he wanted to figure out what kind of mineral it was: "It seems to contain a lot of energy. This energy exudes a sacred atmosphere. Is it natural?"
After pondering for a while, Newton began to rub the handle of the hammer again: "Is it the special metal in the handle that causes this phenomenon?"
David knew the answer, but he didn't say a word. He just looked at Newton. He was curious about what magical methods the alchemists had.
He didn't wait too long, and soon noticed a faint golden light emitting from Newton's eyes. He lowered his head and kept looking at the Hammer of Judgment in his hand, and murmured from time to time: "Oh~ That's it!
Huh? What kind of material is this?"
The more he looked, the more excited he felt. Newton, who was getting excited, put away the light in his eyes, then raised his head and asked David: "I may have to use some special means, do you mind?"
"What kind of special means?"
"It's a spell in alchemy. Don't worry, it's just for analysis and recording. It won't cause any damage to your weapon." When Newton talked about things related to alchemy, his confidence became much stronger.
Even his back is straighter: "Even if it is really damaged, I can repair it immediately and give you a better quality one."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can put things in it."
I looked around and found that the sun had already risen into the sky.
"Have I learned alchemy?"
"Don't worry, there's still a month left anyway!"
"Of course, in theory, in addition to arcane energy, other energies can also be used. Even without 'refining' transformation, alchemy can also be used, as long as your control of this energy is strong enough."
Newton, who was talking happily, was a little unhappy that David kept interrupting him, but when he turned his head, he saw a square of golden energy appearing between David's hands.
"..."
But this involves a restricted area, which is a minefield that currently all alchemists are not allowed to touch: living bodies!
"Because this behavior is unethical?"
This living body does not only refer to humans, even ordinary animals are also very dangerous, and even plants are not low in danger. This is also an important reason why most alchemists mainly study minerals.
"What kind of frame?"
This golden ball with a halo looks a bit like Saturn, except that the halo surrounding the ball is densely covered with various mysterious runes.
"First, use your own energy to build a frame." The alchemy array consists of an alchemy frame and alchemy runes, of which the frame is the most basic framework.
"No, it's simply too dangerous!"
He talked all night long, and even the analysis in his hand and the completion of recording the spell could not make the old alchemist stop.
"..."
"..."
After explaining some taboos, Newton began to explain how alchemists use energy.
Putting the Judgment Hammer aside, he continued to guide David in constructing his own alchemical frame, and then taught him how to construct alchemical runes and how to complete his own alchemical array.
Sharon also remained silent. Although she didn't know what the alchemist could do besides making alchemy and studying various rare minerals, it did not prevent her from learning more mysterious knowledge.
David didn't say anything. He was indeed very curious about this so-called alchemy. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he just wanted to listen.
I don’t know whether it was because David readily agreed to let him study the Hammer of Judgment, or because the old alchemist was obsessed with being a teacher. Seeing that both David and Sharon were paying attention to the alchemy array in his hand, he started to explain directly.
.
David glanced at it several times, but didn't understand any of it. He just thought that these runes were very beautiful, making Newton's spell look very high-end and classy.
Holding the Hammer of Judgment in the palm of his left hand, he opened his other hand in a gesture of holding it empty. The old alchemist did not see any incantations, and there were no special prerequisite steps. There was just a flash of golden light.
From then on, the Hammer of Judgment was wrapped in a golden ball of light.
That not only requires the alchemist to have huge energy, but also to have a sufficient understanding of various substances. And to this level, you can change anything at will and turn it into what you want.
.
The golden ball of light floated between Newton's hands. After wrapping the Hammer of Judgment in it, there was a halo around the ball.
"So that's it." David wanted to agree with that assessment. When he was attending class last night, he discovered that Newton often jumped around when he was talking, basically talking about whatever came to his mind. Moreover, the old man was particularly unhappy that he was being criticized.
People interrupt.
If it weren't for the fact that David was essentially the old alchemist's 'employer', and that after David raised a question, David would understand it immediately after the old man taught him the question, and I'm afraid he wouldn't have given him a good look.
When Newton heard this, he immediately put on a disdainful expression: "Where are you now? At most, you have just opened the door to alchemy, and you haven't even stepped in yet!"
"Huh? You are very talented in alchemy!" A touch of surprise appeared on Newton's face, which was very similar to when he suddenly saw the material he was interested in: "No, no, you must maintain the stability of the entire frame structure. This square body is
It looks unstable and collapses too easily.”
"These runes symbolize the alchemist's understanding and appreciation of various alchemical techniques. Each alchemist's alchemical formation, alchemical framework, and alchemical runes are very different."
"No, I'm not talking about the unstable shape of the square. It doesn't make any sense if you change it to a triangular shape. What I'm talking about is the uneven energy distribution in it... Yes, yes, that's it!"
After you have obtained energy that can be used for consumption, know the dangers and taboos, and know what alchemy is, you can start to really get started.
Substance conversion should be the core content of alchemy, but it is not that easy to achieve this. According to Pierre Newton, an old alchemist, there are only a few who stand at the top of alchemy.
Only some people can truly transform any substance at will.
He lowered his head and glanced at the Hammer of Judgment in front of him, then quietly glanced at the cup placed next to the fire. Newton sighed helplessly: "I originally wanted to analyze it carefully after analyzing and recording it."
After finishing teaching the theoretical knowledge, Newton let out a sigh of satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I've been taught so much!"
I don't know if he noticed the confused expressions on the two people's faces, so Newton turned around and started talking from the most basic things, as if he was going to give the two people in front of him an authentic introductory alchemist class.
This opening was quite remarkable. The alchemy array in his hand was still analyzing and recording various details of the Hammer of Judgment. The old alchemist might have found it boring to wait, so he kept talking endlessly.
After receiving the permission, Newton was very happy and became very energetic. Although he did not jump three feet high, everyone could see his excitement.
After all, Sharon couldn't hold it back and asked anyway.
"Taking it out?"
"What? I didn't say what kind of energy it is? Oh, sorry, I skipped a paragraph." Newton turned back to introduce to the two of them the energy used by alchemists to perform alchemy: "Mainly arcane magic.
Energy, but it is difficult to absorb arcane energy, and there are also a lot of troubles when using it later. Therefore, alchemists will 'refine' the absorbed arcane energy and convert it into more 'safe' energy.
Use it later.”
"That's true." Newton regained his energy, stood up and stretched his body: "Teaching you alchemy for a night is a good way for me to breathe a sigh of relief."
"As long as it doesn't break." David stretched out his hand and made a gesture of greeting. He was really curious about what kind of ability the alchemy in this world has? As for the hammer, the manufacturing process of this hammer is not very sophisticated.
For people in this world, the real difficulty is the inability to obtain the two key materials of crystal ore and light cast iron.
Balabala continued to talk, and Newton, who was addicted, soon reached the real introductory part of alchemy.
"Alchemy runes need to be arranged on the frame. In the early stage, if you want to arrange enough runes on the frame, the easiest way is to increase the surface... um... this hexadecahedron is enough for the time being."
"That's right, let me see who will question my teaching ability in the future!" The old alchemist seemed to have remembered something particularly angry, and the originally stable energy in his body suddenly exploded, causing his beard to stand up.
"If you want to really get started, you need to go to the blacksmith shop for a while to learn and understand how matter changes its form and how it merges with other matter." Newton also explained how David will practice next.
: "And construct your own alchemical runes."
According to Newton, with the talent shown by David, if he is willing to work hard in the blacksmith shop for a year, draw the basic alchemical runes, and then combine them with the alchemical frame to complete his own alchemical formation, then
Only then can he truly get started.
"At that time, you can use alchemy to change the appearance of metal objects as you like like me."
Newton knew that if he wanted people to study hard, they had to have a goal to achieve, so he showed the effect of entry-level alchemy - taking out a piece of metal from his waist, and as the alchemy array appeared and disappeared, the metal piece had already
