"Do you want to buy it? If you do, I can make the decision to give you an art bag." David took out a black tool bag from somewhere and opened it to see that it was full of various art tools. There are pens, rulers, brushes and knives, and some colored ink.

Angel gritted his teeth: "Buy!"

The balance on the bone card bottomed out instantly, and Angel also took 7 magic crystals from his waist bag to close the balance.

"Do you want it delivered to your door?" David asked with a smile.

Angel immediately waved his hand and refused, "No, I'll hire someone outside."

It cost 50 silver coins to hire five big men. He picked up the packed alchemy tools and returned home in a hurry.

After stacking the purchased tools in the basement, Angel continued to hire these five men to go to the market in Apprentice Town and buy several special experimental tables and simple and comfortable stools.

For most of the next day, with the help of these big men, Angel's basement was successfully transformed into a laboratory. Although it still looks very crude, Angel is already satisfied.

The night was as cold as water. In this cold night, Angel looked at the tidy laboratory that had been collected, and suddenly felt a sense of belonging in his heart.

In the days that followed, Angel's alchemy journey went smoothly.

It took Angel three days to successfully refine the first work of his alchemy career: a folding fruit knife.

The fruit knife is also one of the 3D printer drawings stored by Jon in the holographic tablet. It only needs to create three main parts and two spare parts to assemble it.

Assembling alchemy props is the mainstream mode of mechanical alchemy. Although it may have less technical content than the one-piece one, and its power is also much lower, but because of the convenience and universality of mechanical alchemy, it also has a certain status in the alchemy world.

Folding fruit knife, the handle of the flower tree, the wood grain itself is a kind of decoration; after the knife is opened, you can clearly feel the coldness of the blade, and if you look carefully, you can even see faint lines on the blade.

The hardness of the earth demon blood copper and the sharpness of the casting water, the two low-level materials combined, formed a hard cold front.

Angel took out a touchstone to test the sharpness and scratched it lightly, and a faint mark appeared on the touchstone.

The touchstone is a special tool used by alchemists to test the sharpness. Ordinary soldiers cannot break its shell. Only weapons that can break through the wizard's apprentice's magic defense will leave traces on the touchstone.

Although this fruit knife has no special effects, its texture and sharpness are far superior to ordinary soldiers. The fact that the fruit knife can leave marks on the touchstone means that it is basically a weapon that can be used by extraordinary people.

As a hands-on exercise, Angel said he was very satisfied.

What's more, this weapon is the first alchemical work in his life, and its commemorative significance is greater than its own meaning. Just like the dagger of young Sanders that Angel obtained from the Nightmare Realm, it was just an ordinary soldier, but it had a special meaning to Sanders.

Angel decided to collect the fruit knife and happily put the fruit knife into his inner pocket.

Suppressing the joy of success, Angel did not stop. After a little meditation, he recovered most of his magic power and began to refine his second work.

For this work, he still chose cold weapons or kitchen utensils from the 3D printing map.

Chinese kitchen knife.

The reason why he used the Chinese kitchen knife as his second training tool was mainly because he wanted to try one-piece molding.

He does not plan to make the Chinese kitchen knife into an assembled alchemy tool, but wants to directly use the hot melt method to create a one-piece prop in one go.

The one-piece molding was obviously much more difficult than he thought, and he spent a lot of time just selecting the materials. Integrated molding does not mean using only one kind of material, but means that the desired props are made using the hot melt method. The material is not limited to one type.

After many experiments, Angel selected dozens of material combination methods in the "Multiple Materials" filmed in the Nightmare Realm and tested them one by one.

If it were another alchemist who wanted to match the materials for molding, it would probably take more than half a year to make each material. Angel, however, has an alchemical heritage from an unknown school, allowing him to skip many steps. What's more important is that everything he refines has a map.

Moreover, the 3D map is projected using a holographic flat panel, providing a 720-degree panoramic view with no blind spots. Sometimes, even if Angel doesn't understand the reason, he can draw a general picture based on the same pattern.

Five days later, Angel's Chinese kitchen knife finally took shape.

The handle and blade of the knife, which are integrated together, shine with a cold light. This kitchen knife still has no special effects. After all, Angel has not learned magic patterns, does not understand magic energy arrays, and has not put in special materials or catalysts. In the end, the special effects are minimal.

Angel waved his hand casually, and the Chinese kitchen knife easily made a cut of nearly 1 centimeter on the touchstone.

"The one-piece molding is indeed better than the assembled one." Angel thought to himself, just holding it in his hand, he felt the perfect harmony.

After successfully making the Chinese kitchen knife, Angel's heart became wild.

He decided to make a series of Chinese-style weapons.

The reason why he did this was not out of emotion, but purely to practice his skills and become familiar with the combination of various materials.

Ten days later, Angel walked out of the underground laboratory in a puff of smoke. At this time, there were three weapons placed on one side of the underground laboratory.

A sword, a knife, a thrust.

The sword is a three-foot green-edged sword, the saber is an unsheathed Tang Dao, and the thorn is a dual-wielding Emei thorn.

These three weapons, except for the Emei thorn, which is formed in one piece, the knives and swords are all only at the level of a folding fruit knife. Angel estimates that he can get one or two magic crystals if he sells them. But he has no plans to sell abroad for the time being, after all, he is pressed for time. And although these weapons are considered alchemical weapons, they are also of the lowest kind and can be refined by a mortal blacksmith.

Angel was depressed in the basement for several days, gave himself a half-day break, rested and relaxed for a while, and then returned to the quiet room again.

The basics of alchemical works are actually the mastery of heat, shaping, and condensation, and Angel has roughly mastered them. The various cold weapons he refined a few days ago are actually the basics of alchemy.

But learning these things does not mean that Angel has become an alchemy apprentice. At most, he can be regarded as a top blacksmith in the mortal world.

The real alchemy lies in the props it refines, which have extraordinary effects.

The so-called extraordinary includes equipment with amplifying effects, machines that can stabilize energy, weapons that can release spells, props with special effects, and more magical and unspeakable abilities. Even space props and time props can be realized through alchemy.

Angel's target is naturally this kind of alchemy tool.

If you want to create alchemy props with extraordinary special effects, generally you can do it through the following methods:

First, magic pattern science. In the alchemy process, combining the properties of the materials and adding corresponding magic patterns can promote each other and finally achieve extraordinary special effects.

Second, the magic energy array. This belongs to the magic pattern science, which is an upgraded version of the magic pattern science.

Third, introduce the particularity of the material.

Of course, there are other methods, but these three are the mainstream.

Among them, the first two are also called "enchantments", and the third are called "blending".

In the world of alchemy, enchantment is just a way, and blending is the most orthodox method.

And if blended well, the effect of alchemy products far exceeds that of enchantment. Because if you use magic patterns and enchantment of magic energy arrays to make alchemy props have special effects, you also need the cooperation of corresponding material properties. You can't just portray whatever you want; there are huge limitations.

And blending is to fully express the particularity of a certain material through the combination of materials. For example, under certain special conditions, Winter Gold and Ice Crow Feather can induce the cold special effects of the material itself through the blending of dozens of different catalytic liquids.

The alchemy props produced in this way can have cold special effects in materials of any nature and will not be restricted by enchantment, and the effect is much more powerful than enchantment.

If Angel wants to go further on the road of alchemy, he must choose the third option: blending.

But in order to cope with the upcoming tower climb, Angel decided to take a shortcut first: enchantment.

He took out "Basics of Alchemy" and began to learn how to enchant step by step.

If you want to learn enchantment, you must first understand magic patterns.

The science of magic patterns has its own set of characters, or each pattern in the magic patterns is a word, which represents many worldly truths.

For example, a magic pattern that accelerates the ripening of plants contains principles including weather, moisture, soil, season, etc. The weather, moisture, soil, seasons... all represent a pattern. Arranging these patterns according to established values ​​​​is a complete magic pattern.

A true magic pattern apprentice must start by learning the meaning of each pattern. The more than 60 million basic patterns have different meanings, and some even have the same meaning. Different patterns will be derived in different seasons when expressing the truth. . Just like the textures that also express "sunset", because one is a winter sunset and the other is a summer sunset, they have different textures.

Angel naturally did not have the patience to memorize these 60 million basic textures.

For alchemists, they usually forcefully memorize the complete magic pattern and copy it into alchemy tools without understanding the meaning of each pattern.

Roughly speaking, it's just like the gourd and the scoop.

But it’s not easy to follow the gourd’s path.

Because carving magic patterns also requires stable magic power and a long time of carving, and no mistakes can be made in the middle.

For example, depict a complete wave of magic patterns. In a huge circular pattern, there are tens of thousands of patterns in different directions and corners, which are finally combined into the wave magic pattern. The alchemist must control the magic power output during the alchemy process, and draw this magic pattern on the alchemy tools stroke by stroke.

Moreover, when carving magic patterns, whether there is a slight difference in spacing, direction, or size, it basically means failure.

Because of this, not many alchemists choose the path of "enchantment".

But for Angel, "enchantment" suits him very well. (To be continued...) l3l4 (Sikushu)
