After the master and servant of the Anemis family left, there was a lot of silence in the 'Lake Shield'. Some guests were also moved after listening to the alchemy apprentice's explanation, and began to ask and bargain for prices one after another.
In the end, we made several transactions.
After the other customers had almost left, it was already close to noon, and the store became a little quiet during lunch time. Lorraine Hill was not in a hurry, and he was observing the structure, alchemy technology and design concepts of these new weapons with peace of mind, and others.
It was only when it became less frequent that I started talking to the store clerk.
Silver-level weapons are of little use to her. The weapons she condenses with pure red magic power are comparable to gold-level weapons. Although they cannot last long, they are very convenient in battle. She does not have to carry them around with her, and she can even have the luxury of throwing explosions.
.
However, war is not something that can be completely determined by the strength of one person. It is easy to win, but post-occupation maintenance, suppression, organization of production, etc. require a group of excellent soldiers with good discipline.
At first, the apprentice was a little unconcerned, thinking that this mysteriously dressed guest was just out of curiosity and had never seen the world before. But as the conversation progressed, his expression began to become serious.
It is undeniable that Lorraine Hill does not know much about contemporary new technologies, but a lot of alchemical knowledge is common. The complete knowledge inherited from the Mercury Dynasty makes her vision very high. It is a kind of overlooking from a high place, often
He pointedly asked some core points in alchemy, which made the apprentice a little overwhelmed. He had only studied alchemy for five years. He knew many things but didn't know why, so he gradually couldn't answer some questions.
This is like learning various physical and chemical knowledge in middle school. The students can understand the knowledge in the textbooks, but the students will not know why these textbooks are compiled in this way, why they are taught in this order, why these contents are arranged for learning, and what
What is important, what is not important, what does not need to be taught to students, why this method is used instead of other methods, in addition to these successful cases, what are the failure cases in history, etc.
These things are not something that students need to know because they have limited energy and time, but as they continue to grow and when they want to move towards the realm of masters, these things will become indispensable, because only in this way can they fully understand what technology is.
It has developed to what it is now. Why did it choose this path instead of other directions in history?
"Okay, Lavoisier, you go and do your own business first. I'll answer this lady's question."
At this time, a black-haired middle-aged man walked into the shop. He was wearing a pure black robe without any other decorations, and his face was very clean. After entering, he heard the conversation between Lorraine Hill and the apprentice, and then
Interested, he walked over and patted the apprentice on the shoulder, then faced the hooded guest lady.
"Teacher Zenep, you are back." The apprentice turned around to say hello to his mentor, and then returned to the cashier's position with a little embarrassment.
"Miss, although I don't know which school you belong to, I can tell that you have a very deep understanding of some alchemical knowledge. How about we go upstairs and sit for a while. It just so happens that I also know a lot about alchemy besides Lurna.
The technology is very curious.”
Lorraine Hill was too engrossed in the conversation about alchemy-related knowledge just now, and then he noticed that the owner of the shop had returned.
"Well, okay." She observed the alchemist for a moment. He should have the strength of Sequence 6 and is not very dangerous.
-------------------
After the two of them sat down in the study room on the second floor, the apprentice just brought up two cups of black tea.
Zenep sat at the coffee table and took a look at this mysterious guest. She was wearing a black robe with gray edges and lines. Her face was hidden under the hood, and she couldn't see it clearly. Her feet were gray.
The leggings and boots roughly outline the shape of the calf, and it can be seen that this girl should have a relatively slender figure.
"Miss, are you a native of Verga?" he asked.
"No, I only came to Verga recently. Before that, I had been living in seclusion in the forest with my teacher."
"Are you living in seclusion... It seems that your teacher is also a knowledgeable person."
"Well, Teacher has always been someone I respect very much." This sentence is indeed the girl's true words. She still admires Trinasha, the great witch, whether it is her calm and firm belief or her serious attitude towards knowledge.
, are all worthy of her respect.
Afterwards, the two exchanged some views on alchemy, and the conversation was very pleasant. Although Zenep's strength was limited and he was controversial and marginalized by his colleagues, he did reach the level of a master in alchemy. This time he came to Verga, in fact,
It can be regarded as a refuge, and I want to change to a free and fresh environment.
"It seems that Miss Lorraine Hill's teacher should be a classical alchemist master."
"Classical...?" The girl tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes, it is the popular faction in the early days of Oz, or in other words, the second era. The classical faction is very good at using naturally extraordinary raw materials as alchemy materials, such as the trunks, fruits, sap of extraordinary plants, and the scales of extraordinary monsters.
Kernel, blood, bone, etc. These natural materials are easy to process, and the things made can often come with some magical special effects, which were very popular in that era."
"what about now?"
"Nowadays, the classical ones are relatively rare. Because with the rise of mankind, many dangerous supernatural beasts have been hunted down, and the growth of supernatural plants is too slow, and humans do not have the life span of elves, so they cannot live up to it at all. Therefore, the current alchemical creations
Most of them are metals, gemstones and man-made objects.”
"Although the effect may not be as good as the classical one, the good news is that the materials are easier to find." Zenep explained.
"If you are interested in today's alchemy, you can come to Lurna's academy to study. Although it is not as good as Emenas, the good thing is that as long as you are willing to pay, there will be someone to teach you." Speaking of this, Zenep was a little bit confused.
He smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Even if it's a country of alchemy and mages, isn't it as good as Emenas in imparting knowledge in this area?" the girl asked curiously.
"Yes, other magicians in Lurna may not admit it, but I know it, because I was once a student of Emenas. Unfortunately, this is not a glorious thing. Because of my own reasons, I failed halfway.
I dropped out of school and didn’t graduate fully.”
"If I really graduate from there, you probably won't be able to see me sitting here, because at this time I am already one of the leaders of Lurna Country." Zeenep picked up the teacup and took a sip.
.
"But there is no if, because I dropped out of school in disgrace, and now I can only be a marginal role in Lurna." He slowly put down the tea cup, with nostalgia and regret in his eyes.
