Chapter 4 Is alchemy unique in the world?

Ringer observed the entire process of Rorona's alchemy. To be honest, although the girl enthusiastically explained the meaning of each step and link to him, he still could not understand the rules of this magical material conversion magic. Maybe he could

I think there are no rules to it, and what Rorona explains is just her personal experience summed up in the long process of practice.

Otherwise, you can't explain why she would add completely unrelated materials such as thirteen-leaf mandrake or northern ice crystal with snowflake cracks into the alchemy cauldron, and they are already relatively normal types.

, and even more bizarre are the third wisteria leaf falling from a branch, the autumn viola flower growing in a rock crevice where three rock lizards live together, and the apple core that has been buried in the soil for three months and has not sprouted...

Such messy stuff.

To be honest, Lin Ge found it very difficult to gather them together. However, Rorona also wanted to use them to refine alchemy tools with magical effects. It can only be said that the alchemist is indeed a very magical profession.

It can always create miracles in areas beyond people's common sense.

When he saw Rorona humming an unknown tune and happily throwing a piece of black soil into the bubbling alchemy cauldron, the young man finally couldn't help it anymore: "What is that?

"

"Ah?" Rorona turned back and glanced at Ringer in surprise, as if surprised that he couldn't figure out what this thing was: "It's clay."

"I know it's clay, but... why do you want to add clay? What are your criteria for selecting materials?"

If alchemy is a discipline similar to chemistry, then the various materials selected by Rorona must have similar properties and functions to form the basis of material reactions. However, Shulinger was blind, and he

I can't see the similarities between these materials at all. They don't even have similarities, right?

"Standard? In fact, there is no standard. The only standard is probably... listening to the sound of the material, right?"

"Listen to the sound of the material?" Ringer frowned, not quite understanding what this meant.

"Yes, everything in the world has its own voice. As long as you can listen to their voices, you can understand their thoughts. Under this premise, respect their choices, and you can allow them to exert the greatest effect in the alchemy process.

"Rorona said as she picked up a piece of silver-white ore on the workbench and asked Ringer: "For example, this piece of Asela silver ore is a kind of flexible, ductile and plastic metal, and it has the ability to guide.

Regarding the properties of magic power, under normal circumstances, what props do you think it is suitable for refining?"

A term immediately came to Ringer's mind: "Magic Guide?"

"Yes, as far as I know, in the magic system created by the Steam Order and jointly promoted by the Order, apart from mithril metal and Oriha Gang metal, the most important raw material is Aesera

Silver mines are usually used to make guide shells covering core metals or to construct extended armor for mechas, but this is not the case in alchemy." Rorona winked at Linge: "For example, this piece of ai

Serra Silver Mine told me that it wants to be a tool that can help others, rather than a weapon that takes away lives."

Hearing these words, Linger subconsciously glanced at the ore in her hand, but she only saw a cold silver stone. It was hard to believe that it had a will of its own and could even speak such philosophical words. Young

People can't help but wonder: "Is this true? Maybe it's just your... imagination?"

"If it's an isolated case, maybe it's my imagination, but I can hear the sounds of all the materials, and the guidance from them is also an opportunity for me to move towards the path of alchemy." Rorona smiled: "

It is the responsibility of the alchemist to respect the choice of materials and shape them into the ideal state. When you respond to their wishes, they will also respond to your expectations and create the best props for you; and when

When you ignore their wishes and want to forge a piece of Asera silver ore that longs to be a tool into a weapon that takes away lives, it will also use its own power to resist you, resulting in the final forged weapon being of low quality.

The reason why the sword is dull is because they have their own choices, and no creature in the world can succumb to the will of others."

This is somewhat similar to animism, but the spirituality that animists believe in is not spiritual intelligence. They believe that everything in the world has spirituality, but if you want to derive spirituality from spirituality, you need to concentrate all spirituality

It is necessary to rise up and give birth to the founding gods, such as the spring spirit god Tifu or the earth mother spirit god Titan.

As for a single, isolated inanimate individual, it is not considered to have a will. Therefore, spring water cannot determine the purity of the human heart, and earth and stone cannot resist changes in the outside world.

Ringer mused: "It sounds incredible, but I don't think this is something that all alchemists can do. Perhaps, there are no other alchemists like you in the world."

Alchemists in human history were the forerunners of chemists, a group of simple materialists who longed to refine gold from brass or mercury; while alchemists in mystical history were those who used extraordinary materials or biological parts to refine magic.

A mystical scholar of medicine, from this perspective, St. Tumi, who created the potion system, can probably be regarded as the first alchemist in history.

As for Rorona's alchemy, it belongs to the category of girl's sovereignty. It is different from any alchemy in the world. Naturally, it cannot be measured by normal people's standards.

The girl smiled and said: "Is this a compliment, Mr. Ringer?"

"You can think so."

"Then I'll accept it without any ceremony~"

Rorona gently raised her hand, sprinkled some unknown silver powder into the alchemy cauldron, and added two neutralizing agents, yellow and green. As a result, the Gur spirits that she had seen before were reappeared.

The creatures jumped out of the cauldron and climbed up one by one along the edge of the alchemical cauldron, eventually turning into thin mist or frost and dissipating in the air.

Rorona said that these Gur spirits were demon spirits born from impurities extracted from alchemical materials. Linger thought it was a bit ridiculous at first, but now he suddenly agreed. If it is really like what the mirror elf girl said, everything in the world

They all have their own will, so maybe the spirit of Gur is the embodiment of their will? In the eyes of outsiders, stones and plants that do not have thoughts can only be seen by the world in this way.

.

Alchemists are probably the only people in the world who can understand them.

The premise is that there is an alchemist like Rorona.

He was thinking endlessly, when the mirror elf girl sitting in the wheelchair suddenly stopped what she was doing, turned around and said to him with a smile: "It's done, Mr. Ringer."

As the words fell, a low and weak residual light emitted from the alchemy cauldron, like the shadow of the moon flowing in a deep ditch and long alley. It was inconspicuous, but it gave people a feeling of peace and tranquility.

The young man subconsciously cast his eyes on the alchemical cauldron that had been drained of water, and saw the item he needed at a glance.

How should I put it, the appearance is surprisingly simple.

It was a copper-colored ring.
