Eight o'clock at night.

The ore warehouse area at the seaport.

A high-end black-topped horse-drawn carriage traveled between the grid-like warehouses.

Every time the carriage stopped in front of a warehouse, a tall middle-aged man in a black robe got off the carriage and chatted with the warehouse manager for a while.

While chatting, the 'middle-aged man' would buy some inconspicuous raw materials from the warehouse, not much each time, at most ten kilograms.

The middle-aged man is naturally the transformed Rosen.

While purchasing, he also carefully explained the mystery to the princess who was ignorant of the world.

"Every warehouse allows for some normal losses, and what we purchase is this part of the 'loss'."

"Their quality is no different from the genuine ones, but their price is at least half cheaper than the market price."

Of course, the most important reason is that these warehouse managers are his natural allies and will instinctively conceal these gray transactions, making them difficult to trace.

When the Goddess of Night completely took over the world and even the bustling harbor area fell silent, the carriage finally stopped in front of an empty warehouse.

Rosen packed all the raw materials he collected along the way into a large wooden box, which weighed about a hundred kilograms in total and cost less than 50 gold ounces.

Now, the wooden box was thrown casually by him on the side of the road.

After getting off the car, Rosen turned around and glanced at the coachman while Selena wasn't paying attention.

"Go to the police station in the Temple District in the north of the city immediately and tell them that you have been kidnapped by a young man and woman."

"If the director asks you about the details, just say that the young man and woman forced you to send them to the city wall, and then flew over the wall to the northern suburbs."

In a moment, the mind branding technique had quietly imprinted the information in the coachman's mind.

The coachman waved his whip and drove away.

Then Rosen walked to the side door of the warehouse and knocked gently.

"Hey~ what are you guys doing?"

A white-haired old man walked out of the warehouse. From the clothes, it was obvious that he was the warehouse manager.

Rosen smiled slightly and released telepathy in front of Selena.

"Old sir, I am your distant nephew. Don't you recognize me?"

The old administrator nodded dazedly: "Ah, distant nephew. Oh, you really are. It's cold outside. Come in and warm up."

Rosen carried the big wooden box and took Selena into the warehouse.

When the side door of the warehouse was locked from the inside, he raised his hand and pointed at the old man: "Have a good sleep."

The old man immediately fell down, and Rosen used the magician's hand to move him to the blanket against the wall.

Then he took the materials and walked to the deepest part of the warehouse.

Selena followed along, becoming more and more confused.

"Rosen, are you planning to use these things to create a magical weapon?"

"These don't count as magic materials."

There are more than twenty kinds of these materials.

Some are stones that painters grind to make paint, some are stones that builders grind to paint walls, some are doctors' preservatives, and some are various unnamed oils and fats.

It has many uses, but they have nothing to do with magic.

She couldn't understand how these things could become powerful magical tools? Rosen smiled and nodded: "Yes, use them."

"Okay, even if these things are useful, this warehouse is empty. There are no alchemical tools. How can we make them?"

Rosen asked as he took out materials from the wooden box and placed them one by one on the floor of the warehouse.

"Ma'am, have you read Master Crates's Transfiguration and Alchemy?"

"I've heard of it. It's said to be a completely new field of alchemy, but I haven't had the chance to read it yet. The book is too new, and the content is quite controversial."

Rosen smiled: "I have read it, studied it carefully, and have achieved some results."

That's a humble statement.

In fact, the reason why he dared to say that he had trained the future Fu to have superb transformation abilities was not because of the trick of turning sheep into humans, but because he developed the alchemy of transformation based on the art of transformation.

He didn't dare say that this was alchemy that he had created. After all, there were countless wise men in the world.

But he dared to say that he must have gone the furthest in the field of transformation alchemy.

This is also a major source of confidence for Rosen to take over the barren island.

Selena became curious: "What magical idea did Master Crates come up with?"

Rosen asked again: "Madam, let me ask you, what is the material world made of?"

"Of course it's the elements."

Rosen shook his head. "That's a crude statement, but it's not wrong. Then let me ask, what are the elements made of?"

"Elements. Elements are precipitated from the Creation Ring."

Selena's tone was very unconfident when she said this.

Obviously, she was just following the crowd.

Rosen smiled: "That's what the creation myth says. We mortals can't verify this for now, so there's no way to tell whether it's right or wrong."

"But Master Crates said that there are two elements in the world."

"One is the basic element. The other is the composite element produced by the combination of basic elements."

As he said this, he opened his arms in a hug.

"The master believes that almost everything we see is made up of composite elements, with only a very small part made up of pure basic elements."

"As long as you understand the rules of how basic elements construct compound elements, you can gain a portion of the power of creation that originally belonged only to the Creator!"

Selena frowned slightly when she heard this: "What the Creator said is really arrogant. No wonder many people say that Crates is a crazy person."

Rosen does not argue: "Master Crates is a bit arrogant, but his research is also very inspiring."

"And I, based on what the master created, have achieved some good results."

In fact, it’s not just a few, but a lot. He has done confirmatory research on all the elements in the periodic table.

But that is really too shocking. If it is exposed without sufficient strength to back it up, it will only bring disaster.

As he spoke, Rosen took out a dark gray, opaque stone with fish-scale patterns on the surface from the pile of stones. It was about the size of a goose egg.

"Madam, please look. This is originally a very common gray-scale stone. Because of its soft texture and delicate color, it is usually used by painters to mix pigments. It is worth 10 krones."

Selena nodded: "And then?"

Rosen covered the stone with both hands and rubbed it gently.

'Squeak, squeak, squeak~~'

There was a constant flash of faint white light in the palm of his hand, accompanied by a sound that Selena had never heard of, and a lot of powder fell from the cracks in his palm.

After about five minutes, Rosen let go.

"Look, I 'transformed' it into a topaz jade of fairly good quality."

Selena was shocked and immediately picked it up to check.

The moment the topaz jade touched my hand, it felt slightly hot, as if it had just been boiled in water.

Its surface texture was as smooth as water, exactly the same as the topaz jade in her memory.

After checking its magical properties, it was found that it possessed the effect of 'weak mental concentration', which was enough to be used to create low-level magical tools.

Its market price also rose from 10 kroner to more than 50 oger.

She was very surprised: "How did this happen?"

Rosen patted the stone powder on his hands.

"I can't explain the specific principle right away. Anyway, this is a transformation alchemical formula that I discovered by accident."

Selena was a little absent-minded: "Oh~~ Your achievement is enough to drive the magic world crazy."

"Ma'am, it's not that exaggerated."

"This kind of transformation alchemy is very difficult to master. The difficulty of casting is estimated to be more than 20 stars. It also consumes a lot of mana. It took me a long time to explore and train before I succeeded."

"In addition, due to the limitations of my own abilities, most of the formulas I currently have are low-level formulas and are not very valuable."

Rosen said this half-seriously, and then picked up a milky white stone, a red stone, and a brown stone from the ground.

"Ma'am, would you like to experience Transfiguration Alchemy?"

Selena was already very curious: "How to experience it?"

Rosen handed over three stones of different colors.

"We use the whispering of the mind to build the bridge of souls. Madam will condense the power of advanced transformation, and I will control this power."

"Hmm~ I've heard of the Soul Bridge technique, but I've never used it."

"I've used it before and I'm pretty skilled at it. Let me guide you."

As he spoke, Rosen walked behind Selena, opened his arms, went around Selena's body from behind, grabbed her two hands, and made her hold the stone in her hands.

"Madam, do you feel the touch in your heart?" These words were whispered by the heart.

"I feel it, a bit like taking a hot spring bath."

Selena shrank her neck and her cheeks felt a little hot. She had never been so close to a man before.

But she didn't resist in her heart, and even felt a little happy. After all, he was the lover she chose.

"Very good, now sink into the hot spring. That's it. Now, the soul bridge has been built successfully. You start to gather the spell energy for Transfiguration."

"Yes, that's it. Once the energy appears, give me the right to guide it. Yes, very good."

"Oh, Madam, your advanced transformation energy is powerful and pure. I have derived several advanced alchemical formulas, and now is a good time to verify them."

As Rosen spoke, he wrapped his hand around Serena's, gently guiding her to continuously inject high-level transformation energy into the stone in her hand.

Similar strange movements as before occurred again.

After several minutes, Rosen let go of Selena's hand.

The latter immediately opened his hands, the three stones disappeared, and a piece of shining silver metal appeared in his hand.

"The soft stone turned into glittering silver mithril. And it's not just ordinary mithril, it's hardened mithril!"

Selena recognized the alchemical product in her hand.

Hardened Mithril, a rare alchemical product, is rust-proof, light, and strong. It also has very good magical properties and is generally used to create mid- to high-level magical instruments.

But this is what this world says. In Rosen's eyes, this thing is just an aluminum alloy.

In years of magical experiments, he had long discovered that the basic elements of this world were basically the same as those on Earth. The biggest difference was the presence of a variety of magical properties.

He also discovered that not only could various materials be synthesized using alchemy, but they could also be synthesized using physical and chemical methods similar to those used on Earth.

If you go one step further and combine the two skills into one, taking advantage of their strengths and making up for their weaknesses, it would be simply a magical skill that could reach incredible heights.

Back to the topic.

Rosen responded to Serena's shock with a look of relief.

"I didn't expect it to be successful. It's really the blessing of Mother Nature."

He said excitedly: "Madam, I have derived four intermediate and advanced formulas in total. Let's try them one by one. If they all succeed, we can continue to create powerful magic tools."

"Derive? You can actually derive it?"

Being able to deduce new knowledge from known knowledge, and having the new knowledge also verified to be correct, means that Rosen has created and fully mastered the alchemy of transformation!

Creating new knowledge is the eternal pursuit of a mage.

Even if a wizard does not have the ability to create, it does not prevent him from expressing his heartfelt respect for this behavior.

Selena is also a mage, so she was naturally shocked.

She couldn't help but turn around and look at Rosen behind her.

She was looking up, while Rosen was looking down, and their lips brushed lightly.

"Ah~"

Selena gasped and subconsciously took two steps back, taking several seconds to come back to her senses.

"Rosen, your knowledge is so valuable!"

Rosen nodded excitedly.

"Madam, I was worried that you would have to live a hard life. Now that I have these alchemy formulas, I can finally feel at ease."

Serena shook her head repeatedly, looking serious: "No, no, no, you can't be so reckless."

"The alchemical formulas you have mastered and the methods you use to derive new formulas are enough to drive all alchemists crazy."

"Once it spreads, it will surely attract the covetousness of countless powerful people."

"We must keep it a secret for now. One day, we will have enough power to protect it and benefit from it!"

Rosen nodded repeatedly: "Madam, you are absolutely right."

Then he asked, "Will you continue with alchemy, madam?"

"Is it still the same as before?"

"certainly."

"No problem, I think this is quite interesting."

Selena looked eager to try it out, like a child who had discovered a new toy.

Her cheeks were also a little red, and I didn’t know if it was because of the excitement of discovering new knowledge or because of shyness.
