The location chosen by Rorona for the alchemy workshop is in the forest on the south side of the island. I don’t know what method she used. In just three days, a three-story building with a wood and stone structure was built between yew trees and ivy trees.
A corner of the eaves poked out from the lush forest foliage, and the long bluestone tiles were so smooth that even birds could not stand on them. Only vines clung tenaciously to them, dotting the greenery in midsummer;
The exterior wall is painted with snow-white lime, and is decorated with exquisite glass windows and flame-shaped window lattice. There is a small flower bed made of thin stone slabs in front of the door and flower pots hanging under the window sill, surrounded by flowers in bloom.
Roses and wisteria.
Just from the appearance, it is difficult to imagine that this is an alchemy workshop. The eccentric alchemists in the story books seem to prefer to stay in the dark and cold laboratory, using test tubes and crucibles to cook all kinds of strange and weird materials.
, and then drink them to innocent and poor experimental subjects to test their effects on humans or other races. In comparison, the house in front of you is obviously too warm, and the abundant light even makes the vines on the roof grow
They all have a tendency to raise their heads and grow, as if they want to compete with the tallest trees for living space.
The first floor of the small building is Rorona's alchemy laboratory, which houses a large number and complete range of equipment including cauldrons, crucibles, fireplaces, workbenches, beakers, test tubes, stirring rods, filters, and alcohol lamps.
Experimental tools, some of which fit people's stereotype of an alchemist, while others seem more like they should appear in the laboratory of the Royal Academy of Sciences. People can't help but suspect that they have walked into a strange scene where medieval magic and modern science merge.
among.
The second floor is the material warehouse and processing room. The alchemy materials that Rorona took away before leaving Nereids are basically stored here. They are stored in special categories according to different properties, habits, and utility.
In the cabinet. In addition, the newly collected new materials will also undergo complex processing here so that they can be stored for a long time in case of emergency needs.
The third floor is Rorona's dormitory. There is not much to say about this floor. After all, Linge has never gone in to see it, and it is impossible to go in. Although he once entered Rorona's bedroom when he was in Nereids.
dormitory, but that was a special situation after all and cannot be generalized to the current situation.
There is a boardwalk from the entrance of the alchemy workshop through the forest, connected to the main road of the island, and can lead to other buildings such as the Fairy Sleep Inn or the Windmill Tower House. It is worth mentioning that this boardwalk has a branch in the middle.
The forked path leads to a quiet and quiet pool in the forest. There is a short cliff beside the pool. Under the light purple purple mountain vine leaves is the gurgling water. A small waterfall is formed along the terrain, and the clear turbulent water hits the cliff.
The gray-brown rocks protruding from the wall are poured into the pool. The water in the pool, diluted by the soil and rocks, is clear and transparent. Just looking at it can make people feel a chill in the heart and spleen.
Ringer often read here alone, enjoying the peace and quiet away from people. Over time, several nests of squirrels and hares living nearby gradually became familiar with this weird human being, and ignored him even if he was right next to him.
He is minding his own business, foraging or playing. Occasionally he will boldly approach the young man and ask for an apple or two from him to take back as a snack.
As for why Rorona built the alchemy workshop so close to the water pool, naturally it couldn't be because of Ringer, but there was another reason.
"In alchemy, 'building the cornerstone' is a very important link, just like laying the foundation for a building. It determines the degree of fusion of materials during the alchemy process, the reaction speed of phenomena, the change laws of substances, etc. Choosing and
Using materials with similar properties to the items you want to refine as cornerstones can reduce the difficulty of alchemy to a certain extent and improve the quality of the final product. Generally speaking, materials suitable as cornerstones include gold, silver, gems, jade, and mercury.
, brass, etc., but the most common one is water."
As Rorona spoke, she instructed Ringer to pour the bucket of water that he had just fetched from the cliffside pool into the alchemy cauldron, and then casually threw an orange-yellow stone into the iron furnace below the alchemy cauldron. Inside the furnace
The charcoal burned instantly, and the raging tongue of fire licked the bottom of the cauldron, transmitting the temperature through the iron fence and heavy stone.
Then, Rorona took out a few more jars from the workbench next to her, took out some of the materials inside, and threw them into the heating alchemy cauldron one by one. As a result, the originally clear water surface was instantly dyed.
Gold, silver, azure and other colors were mixed into a bright color like oil painting in the end, and bubbles soon appeared, and the boiling speed was obviously much faster than boiling water.
"1g Mercer Gold, 0.5g Oriha Gang Metal, 1.5g Mithril, plus 2 tablespoons of Golden Jadeite powder, mix it with hot water and stir evenly, wait for two to five seconds, and wait for 2 to 5 seconds.
The materials react naturally, and finally the fire is turned up to evaporate the excess impurities, and we get a pot of perfectly proportioned universal cornerstone!"
Rorona turned back and said with a smile to Lin Ge who came to observe the alchemy: "In alchemy, water is considered to be the origin of all matter. It symbolizes the water constellation in the night sky, which controls the power of gestation, tolerance and growth.
, so it also has the property of neutralizing any material. Using water as the main material, mixed with a small amount of other cornerstone materials, you can prepare a universal cornerstone suitable for any alchemy. Its effect may not be that powerful, but
The advantage is that it can be compatible with any kind of neutralizing agent, and there is no need to consider the properties and activity tendencies of alchemical products. Moreover, since water as the main material can be found everywhere, it can also reduce costs and improve efficiency."

The final alchemy product acquires some special abilities. In the past few days, I have systematically inspected the landform and environment of Cloud Whale Sky Island, and found that there are many streams and underground rivers on the island, and even a small underground lake, but
In terms of water quality, the water pool in this forest is the best, so I decided to locate the alchemy workshop here."
It sounds complicated, but to put it simply, it is just for the convenience of getting water.
Ringer rubbed his brows with a headache, and realized something belatedly: "When did you inspect the landform and environment of Kong Island?"
"Oh, didn't I say that, just in the past few days." Rorona said with a smile: "By the way, I am not the one who makes decisions. I have already obtained the consent of the master of the air island before. She
He was very happy to tell me that he would come again next time.”
The owner of Sky Island? Isn’t that Ieta?
With Ieta's character, it is indeed difficult to deal with this sea-dwelling princess.
As long as you don't get sold and still count money for others, that's fine.
Ringer thought.
…
At the same time, on the top floor of the windmill tower, on the open-air balcony.
"Wow, it's true, you can see it clearly!"
A certain angel lady was holding a seemingly ordinary telescope and excitedly observing the scenes around the island: "Luolena really didn't lie to me. This telescope is simply the best prop in the world!"
"
With this thing, she can still see the situation of her friends even without leaving the windmill tower room.
"Well, why is Alice eating on the bed again, and also licking her fingers, so unhygienic? Hey, what is sister Olvera doing in the room? She seems to be writing a book? Let me move closer and read what is written on it.
What on earth is it? Hahaha, Leticia was kidnapped by Miss Neville, and Sister Xiaoxia is also looking for her. Did she really skip class? By the way, let me see what Ringer is doing now!"
