Chapter 65 World War
The changes on the front line are not big, but not small either.
Since England's defeat, Uno has not made much movement. Perhaps it is because there is a vast ocean between them and Uno's fleet is not particularly strong, so he did not launch a counterattack against England.
Whichever it was, England was relieved.
At least Uno, who defeated the English fleet with a crushing force, has no intention of causing trouble for the time being.
But it was obvious that they relaxed a little too early.
Just a week ago, the Ship Federation announced an alliance with Uno and launched an offensive on the English border.
In fact, Li Qi was also very curious about this.
He came to England from the Ship Federation and was very clear about the situation inside Ship.
This is a multi-ethnic federation with at least three different beliefs and forces within it that are mutually restrained and conflicting. As a result, the Ship Federation is often in the midst of war.
Because of this, even though he was close to England and Uno, no one on either side regarded him as an opponent.
But now, the Ship Federation suddenly unanimously agreed to deal with England.
It's hard not to wonder if Uno did something.
Li Qi guessed that it was probably because of seeing the power of Uno that the Ship Federation chose not to wait and see and remain neutral.
The world situation is becoming increasingly tense. If we continue to remain neutral, I'm afraid the Ship Federation will no longer exist.
The Ship Federation's entry into the war is just the beginning. The four countries of Farol, Uno, England, and the Ship Federation are now at war, making the world situation even more tense.
There are minor frictions between almost every country. Even countries that have not been at war before are now forced to be involved in this battle.
What's more, each of these four countries has its own colonies and dependencies.
so……
"World War."
Standing inside the college's fence, Li Qi muttered to himself as he looked at the crowd outside holding signs to mobilize and march.
This is the world war of this world, the First World War.
Originally, it was just a dispute between Farol and Uno, but after the magic orb was discovered and England chose to join the battle, it began to run in an uncontrollable direction.
By now, all countries have no choice but to participate in this war.
World war is inevitable and the world situation is becoming increasingly tense.
Even England's capital, Lanka, was affected.
This time they no longer targeted Uno, but instead launched a march against the Ship Federation, wanting the country to punish the Ship Federation.
Because England is powerful and sacred and cannot be violated! This is also the reason why Lisa doesn't let Li Qi go out easily. She is worried that Li Qi will be affected by this atmosphere and get involved in things he shouldn't be involved in.
But Lisa's worries were unnecessary.
"Oh, I won't get involved in these things. I'd rather continue studying my alchemy."
Li Qi withdrew his gaze from the crowd passing by outside, turned around without any hesitation and went to Derian's residence in Huangyuan to study alchemy.
Since nothing is difficult for Li Qi when it comes to magic, most of his energy is now shifted to alchemy.
For example, the glasses he is wearing at this moment are one of the alchemical products made by Li Qi himself.
It has the spells of telescopic vision and tracking attached to it, making it a pretty good little prop.
Although it is a bit useless to Li Qi, it can still help him a little in learning alchemy.
Perhaps due to the reverse influence of science, most of the props made by Drien have some scientific elements on them.
In addition to potion-type magic props, Drien particularly likes to add gear structures to some magic props with special powers.
Most magic props are very small, which means the gear structure is quite sophisticated. It is difficult to see the structure clearly without some auxiliary means.
Li Qi's glasses came into being. Similarly, Derian's monocle also had the same ability.
All for the purpose of better studying alchemy.
Compared with his progress in magic, Li Qi's progress in alchemy was relatively slow.
Currently, only first-level props can be produced.
This doesn't mean that Li Qi's talent in alchemy is poor. On the contrary, his talent is quite good.
The real reason for his slow progress was that alchemy contained too much theoretical knowledge.
This is not a subject that can go far simply by relying on magical talent. If you don't understand the relevant knowledge, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to learn alchemy.
Li Qi spent a long time memorizing the basic knowledge of alchemy taught to him by Derrian and Joe. It was also during this period of time that Derrian began to teach Li Qi alchemy personally instead of letting Joe do it instead.
"The essence of alchemy is transformation."
In class, Derian told Li Qi: "Combining one or several things we don't need together and transforming them into what we need is alchemy.
“If you don’t have alchemy, even if you are given a thousand-year-old dragon blood grass, you can only look at it and cannot transform it into a recovery potion.
"Without alchemy, even if you get the lightning-struck wood, you won't be able to turn it into a staff, change it, transform it, and utilize it. When you understand these principles and grasp the key points, you can call yourself an alchemist."
Derian was teaching Li Qi very seriously, and he also taught Li Qi several special alchemy spells.
Two apprentice-level spells, Identify and Extract.
And a formal-level spell, conjunction.
Identification can be used to identify known objects and analyze their age and characteristics.
The extraction technique can extract the essence of a part of an object, making alchemy more convenient.
As for the combination technique, it is possible to combine the essence of the extracted objects in a special way to finally get the desired props.
There are higher-level spells after these spells, but those are things that third-level mages and tactical-level mages need to master.
Apprentice-level and formal-level magicians and great magicians only need to master these to become an alchemist.
And these spells just happened to fit what Drien said.
Change, transform and exploit.
After explaining the key points of alchemy that he had to repeat in every class, Derian asked Li Qi about his homework after the last class: "By the way, last time I went back, I asked you to make a small prop. Did you make it?"
“It’s done.”
Li Qi pushed his glasses, then took out a small cylindrical object from his wizard robe and placed it in front of Derian.
Derian was stunned when he saw the small cylinder: "...I remember the last assignment asked you to make a lighting lamp? This is..."
"A portable light."
Li Qi said seriously, turned on the switch on the cylinder, and then the glass lens above the cylinder lit up, and the bright white light shone on the wall.
This is actually a flashlight.
Or you can use its scientific name, portable lighting device.
Derian taught Li Qi how to make a lighting lamp. Li Qi slightly changed the size and appearance and turned it into the current "flashlight".
Derian blinked and looked at it with the flashlight, then looked up at Li Qi and nodded:
"Well, it's not quite the same, but you've passed."
Portable lights, these things are everywhere in England.
Li Qi's "invention" is really nothing special. At most, it is more convenient to carry than those lanterns hanging on the waist.
Derian assigned this assignment to Li Qi to test his hands-on ability.
Now that he had passed, Drien simply moved on to the next step of teaching.
He placed a modified magic device on the table, and then said to Li Qi:
"Today we have only one lesson. Disassemble it, understand its structure, and tell what spells were used to make it."
Derian said, pushing the magic device in front of Li Qi.
Li Qi looked at the yellow gem that was gleaming under the light and remained silent.
This thing looks... a bit like a magic orb.
