She didn't know how her companions were doing now, but she was indeed very happy now.
Because the guests she received at the moment were completely beyond her expectations——
"Yes, I also think that the Philosopher's Stone is impossible to achieve. It goes against one of the essences of the balanced path, 'equivalent exchange', so it is actually a wrong goal."
A girl with long, ocean-blue curly hair and a gentle appearance was sitting in a private room chatting nonstop to the young man in front of her.
The young man is more of a boy than a man. Even though he no longer looks young, and may even be close to or reaching thirty years old, he still has a shy temperament about him.
He has short black messy hair and wears black-rimmed glasses. His clean temperament is more like that of a scholar than an aristocrat, a style that is incompatible with the luxury and decadence here.
"I think you are right!"
The young man was very happy, as excited as he was about finding a like-minded person: "Have you also studied alchemy? What do you think of 'technicalization'?"
"Technology" is a term from alchemy. In the past it was usually used in a pejorative sense.
Because alchemy is actually a very complex doctrine - it includes a wide range of methods for understanding the world, including various philosophical concepts and methodologies. And the specific alchemical formulas are self-contained, and everyone's cognition has nuances.
The difference... In most cases, alchemists tend to re-derive based on basic principles, or completely analyze other people's formulas and turn them into their own after thorough research.
"Technicalization" refers to the teaching methods used by alchemy instructors due to mistakes and impatientness, which caused students to teach too many alchemical recipes to their apprentices without thoroughly mastering the basic theories of alchemy.
This resulted in the apprentices holding the formula in their hands, but they did not know the principles of the formula, and were unable to effectively debug and improve the formula.
As a result, alchemy has changed from a "doctrine of exploring truth" to a "technology of manufacturing alchemical products." Therefore, in the mainstream trend of thought among alchemists, this behavior is undoubtedly harmful and utilitarian, and it will be even more so.
And destroy the inheritance.
If such behavior is extreme, eventually only those "useful" formulas, or even the "most useful" formulas, can be passed down, but there may be more secrets and keys to the truth hidden in a seemingly useless formula.
.
But Stranger said without hesitation: "The core power of the balanced path comes from completely analyzing and transforming [mysterious knowledge] into [conventional knowledge]. This process is what we call 'disenchantment'.
Recreating various technologies and magic potions that only exist in myths and legends into reality is alchemy. It is a great theory that swallows up and integrates the power of other paths to "unify" them.
"There is no doubt that if there can only be one path in this world in the future, it will eventually be the path of balance. And I believe that the essence of 'technification' is to further disenchant alchemy and turn it into
'Alchemical technology', also known as 'alchemy'.
"This is indeed utilitarian, but it is not harmful. Because this is one of the core concepts of the balanced path, using knowledge and methods to understand and transform the world, and unify the disorder into order——"
The stranger's eyes were filled with incomparable brilliance.
That is the light of intelligence and truth.
The young man sitting opposite her was also trembling with excitement: "You are right! Oh my god, hourglass - I didn't expect that the first person who fully understood me would be in Huyue Manor... No,
I have to find a way to take you away..."
As he spoke, he shouted to the outside: "Peng Ponachi!"
"Come on, come on..."
A handsome young man shook a wine glass filled with blood and came over with a smile on his face: "How are you, Bashir, my friend? Are you satisfied with the girl I ordered?"
When he saw the neat clothes of the two of them, he was a little disappointed: "You just drank like this for two hours, and nothing happened?"
"What are you talking about, you idiot," Bashir Valentine was a little dissatisfied. "This is a respectable young lady! She can completely understand my ideas, and even some of her views are more advanced than mine -
"I said, Pomponazzi...how can I take her away? I think the Twelve Keys need her!"
"You like her so much?"
The son of the moon, known as Pomponazzi, was a little surprised.
He looked at the stranger and asked, "What's your number?"
"I am number 23."
The stranger replied.
"23," Valentine admired, "an odd number, a prime number. Just like your unique nature."
He looked at his aristocratic friend longingly, and Peng Bonazi's teeth became a little bitter.
"Okay, it's not expensive on the 23rd. I'll buy it for you and treat it as a birthday gift for you. If you don't want to stay here for the night tonight, just take her away."
Peng Bonazi's eyes stared at the stranger, and his pupils turned bright red for an instant.
He sensed the emotions and thoughts in the stranger's heart, and raised his lips with satisfaction - he did not sense any conspiracy or scheming, only strong respect and excitement.
So he said casually: "It's almost time for you to get married and start a business - if you don't mind that she was once a blood servant."
"I already said, I just treat her as a friend and a confidant——"
Valentin's cheeks were a little blushing and he shouted: "I just want to pull her into my 'Twelve Keys'!"
The stranger, on the other hand, opened his eyes wide and watched everything in front of him intently.
Compared to the promotion mission, being able to personally contact and chat with the young Valentine I in person - she believed this was a more precious and rare experience.
There is no starry alchemist who does not revere Valentine I.
It was his "Twelve Keys" organization that selflessly transformed the knowledge of alchemy from aristocratic knowledge into something that everyone can learn - the so-called way of contacting the truth. It was also precisely because of the mission he established back then.
According to the idea of establishing a nation through alchemy, the Kingdom of Star Antimony, which was only allocated the smallest and least fertile piece of land after the Earth Splitting War, could annex those neighboring countries that may have been powerful and rich in the past.
Time has proven that they are right. And the person in front of them is the great man who brought them truth and victory.
——As long as the method is right, anyone can become a god.
This is the idea proposed by Valentine I.
Even the high-ranking Tiansi and Zhushen may not be irreplaceable.
There are no inevitable taboos or impossible things in this world. Everything is to take one step forward. And then another step forward.
There is nothing that human beings cannot do in this world. All human beings are like stars. When night falls, the stars can illuminate the earth.
It was in response to this concept that the Star Antimony people gathered under his banner.
It was undoubtedly a surprise to meet my idol, and it was even more of a surprise to complete the task so easily.
But at this moment, Stranger suddenly remembered something——
This mission requires two people to complete.
So she subconsciously said: "But, I..."
...I have a friend, can I take him or her with me?
As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, she felt hesitant.
And Peng Bonaqi, who had scarlet eyes, turned around and said, "Hmm? What's the matter?"
"...No, it's okay."
Stranger's thoughts changed in his mind, and he gave up trying to persuade the financial owner to buy his companions away together.
This was a bit too much. Even if everything in front of her was just false, she didn't want her idol, Valentine I, to think that she was a greedy person.
They must be able to solve the problem themselves, Stranger thought to himself.
——It would be great if I really lived in this era and could really join the twelve keys of Valentine I. She thought to herself.
Rather than that, she would rather exchange some alchemy experiences with the other party.
Even if the other party masters alchemical concepts that are hundreds of years behind, and alchemical technology has been developing rapidly every year in these years... But as smart as him, he must be inspired by these new technologies and find some inspiration.
It just so happens that the armed gargoyles developed by Stranger have yet to overcome a technical difficulty - these gargoyles, which can deflect spells but have relatively fragile bodies, cannot cast spells themselves. So how can they create magic at a safe enough distance?
What about effective damage?
Just to solve this problem, he took a part-time job in the path of balance and taught himself alchemy. But now his alchemy is almost reaching the third level, and he still can't solve this problem. The best strategy at present is to throw various alchemies.
Mixture...but this consumes a lot of money.
Perhaps the founding monarch of the Star Antimony Kingdom can bring some technical inspiration to today’s Star Antimony——
