Chapter 246 Ansu's Simple Alchemy
This room seems to be a restaurant.
Creak, creak—
An unsettling, sharp sound echoed outside the restaurant. It was the sound of a wild beast's claws scratching the wooden door, and layer after layer of sawdust fell off.
In addition, there was the sound of sticky blood dripping onto the floor, and the sound of explosions when strange and twisted bodies collided with the door frame. The seal of the room became increasingly fragile under the impact of the blood servants, as if it would be completely shattered in the next second.
[Time remaining: 25 minutes]
Luo Xiaohei was observing the movements outside the door with a serious face. She knew that these blood servants were not real blood nobles, but blood beasts that had been embraced by the vampires. If it were her original form, she would be able to deal with them by just looking at them. They were just trash.
But she's just a kitten now.
She tugged at the corner of Ansu's clothes, urging him to quickly make a powerful weapon.
The Saint of Chaos is not good at alchemy. She is good at destruction, but she is at a loss when it comes to construction.
The principles of the alchemy circuit blueprint and the magic circuit scroll are similar. The latter uses magic power to build a circuit structure of the corresponding magic in the warlock's body. Once the magic circuit is built, the corresponding magic can be cast.
The former uses alchemical materials such as dense silver, metals, gems, etc. to build alchemical circuits for extraordinary items in the material world. With alchemical circuits, creations can have special effects that are similar to magic.
Although the principles of the two are very similar, their essences are completely different.
Magicians and alchemists are two completely different branches. If a warlock who has never been exposed to alchemical knowledge suddenly comes into contact with alchemical circuit diagrams, or even incomplete diagrams, it will be difficult for even the smartest genius to understand them.
Not to mention refining it within thirty minutes.
This alone makes it difficult even for professional alchemists.
An Su was not panicked because he couldn't understand it either.
Even though he was an alchemy master in his previous life, no matter how realistic the game was, it was impossible for anyone to understand Brother Tumu's blueprints. This blueprint was densely packed with holy patterns depicting shapes, a ton of various parameters, and the front and back views of the holy blade drawn in pencil, not to mention the alchemical circuits above, which were all complicated nonsense symbols.
Its degree of extraordinaryness is almost the same as the civil engineering drawings in the previous life.
Although he couldn't understand it, it didn't stop An Su from guessing by looking at the drawings. He directly turned to the instructions on the drawings and read them carefully.
[Sacred Blade of Redemption (Alchemy Production Drawing)]
[Rank: Ordinary High Level]
[Construction materials: ten pints of holy water, ten pounds of mithril, twenty pounds of holy cross meteorite, sapphire, some mercury, appropriate amount of water, appropriate amount of salt. Unknown, unknown.]
[Effect: The Redemption Blade is made of meteorite iron, mithril, purple gemstones and holy water. If an undead creature is scratched by the blade, the holy water will enter its body. Its sacred properties will burn the undead creature from the inside, breaking its immortality and ultimately giving it redemption.]
[In the darkest era, the Holy Blade of Redemption was a holy relic developed by many alchemists at the cost of their lives. Although its craftsmanship seems rather monotonous from today's perspective, it symbolizes the dedication of the pioneers of the Alchemy Church. It is also the first sacred product in history and deserves to be remembered and respected by all later generations. Therefore, this title is designed.]
[From tonight onwards, redemption will come, and the long night will end - Morgan Reinhardt]
An Su looked at the drawing in silence with a complicated expression. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to him. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered where he had seen it!
The chili knife he bought, the 'Quenched Redemption Blade' made by Bishop Morgan, was made of almost the same material as this Redemption Blade.
The only difference was that the holy water was replaced with pepper water! He was very upset.
The so-called remembering and respecting the sacred is to copy other people's things and replace them with pepper water. Ansu's understanding of Bishop Morgan's birth has reached a new level. He remembered that there was still a [Poison Alchemy Sacred Blade] that had not been exchanged. This sword was even more heavyweight. He replaced other people's holy water with croton juice, and let the enemy pull while hitting him during a fight!
He sighed lightly. Although he already knew the effect of this thing, the alchemical drawings were still incomplete. The specific alchemical steps still needed to be practiced personally. He put down the drawings and looked at the alchemical materials on the table.
In addition to the materials listed on the blueprint, there are many other alchemical materials, various gems, potions, universal solvents and so on.
First of all, the pure liquid in the glass cup is the so-called holy water. These sacred liquids are blessed by the goddess and can play a powerful role in eliminating evil and restraining dark creatures.
[Low-level holy water]
[Effect: If splashed on low-level dark creatures, it can weaken their abilities. If a large amount of it enters the body of a dark creature, it can directly destroy its immortality.]
[Note: Non-living beings cannot carry holy water]
He put down the entire handle of holy water, fell into deep thought, and looked at the mithril beside him.
If Ansu's guess was correct, the principle of the Holy Blade of Redemption was to engrave the holy water into the blade. As long as the blade pierced the monster's body, the holy water would automatically enter the monster's body and break its immortality.
The holy water must be on the blade; pouring it directly will have no effect.
Unless it's holy water with stronger effects.
Low-level holy water must enter the monster's body through wounds.
Dipping an ordinary blade into holy water is also ruled out because a large amount of holy water must be applied at the same time.
It is not possible to attack a vampire with a sharp weapon to create a wound and then pour holy water on the wound - because only holy weapons can harm a vampire's body and create a wound.
An Su frowned slightly, fell into deep thought, and came up with two cheating plans.
So the best way now is to refine ten pints of holy water into the blade.
The most crucial point is that holy water is a sacred liquid blessed by God, which is friendly to all living things and naturally repels all non-living things. Therefore, no container can carry it. Therefore, the key is to carve an alchemical circuit on the mithril that can carry the holy water, so that the Holy Blade of Redemption can be created.
Non-living metals cannot carry holy water, so the effect of this alchemical rune should be to transform the properties of mithril so that it can carry holy water.
This is the difficulty of this exam, but it is quite difficult to construct an alchemical inscription that can carry holy water.
Not only Anzu thought of this, but other saints who entered the room also thought of it. They spread out the drawings with sweat on their foreheads and devoted themselves to the design of the inscription of "Sacred Blade of Redemption".
[Remaining time: 20 minutes]
"The difficulty of this test is to design an inscription that can carry holy water."
In the highest level of the Alchemy Church, in the exam monitoring room, Bishop Morgan proudly showed off the difficulty to Merlin.
"But because holy water is a very special and remote liquid, it cannot be carried by non-living things. Therefore, it is almost impossible for non-alchemists to design an alchemical circuit that can accommodate holy water in a short period of time."
"You designed such a difficult question, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by other bishops?" Merlin said expressionlessly, "No sorcerer who is not from the Alchemy Church can pass this level."
This old woman seems to think that the more difficult the questions are, the better.
"Because you took the blame earlier." Morgan replied with a smile, "Anyway, they have been eliminated by His Majesty Merlin."
".Fuck you." Merlin's mouth twitched slightly, "I already said this wasn't me."
This exam was broadcast live to the public through the magic screen. Not only them, but also the citizens and ordinary saints who bought tickets in the square could watch it. They watched the performance of the candidates intently, holding their breath, and worried for them as if they were there.
In the center of the square, there is also a huge magic screen, which shows the number of rooms passed by each saint and everyone's ranking. The number of rooms passed by almost all saints is zero.
And Cersei Milton's name was hanging over everyone's heads. The exam had just begun, and the Third Princess had already passed the second room. The little Saint Lorgar followed closely behind and passed the first room of the Glorious Church.
Apart from Cersei Milton and the others, the ones who attracted the most attention were Ansu and the other two.
Coincidentally, their first level is always the most difficult alchemy room.
"If we want to pass this room, the most urgent thing is to complete the missing alchemical circuit and replenish the materials above."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ashley explained to the saint next to her, "We need to replenish the missing materials and then use fire magic to melt the metal for forging."
This is the best way to pass the level.
"Your Highness, but Ansu seems to have deleted the circuit!" A saint exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Ansu's room number 16.
"What the hell?" She turned around and looked at An Su with suspicion.
But the boy had a calm smile on his face. He picked up the pen on the table and started to cross out the densely packed alchemical circuits, deleting line after line of material. While deleting, he embezzled the test materials into his pocket, with an innocent light flashing in his dark blue pupils.
These alchemical materials are extremely precious and rare. They are only circulated within the Alchemical Church and cannot be bought by outsiders even if they have money.
He stuffed it all into his pocket.
Sapphire, crossed out, put in pocket.
Cross out the alchemical mithril and put it in your pocket. Cross out the holy iron, as there is no more room in your pocket, so roll Luo Xiaohei into a cat-skin pocket and put it in your pocket.
Luo Xiaohei was staggering as she held a large pile of metal that was far heavier than her weight, staring at An Su in disbelief, as if asking, "What are you doing, kid?"
The monsters are about to attack! You are still corrupt! Are you going to eat more in the back than in the front? An Su's strange movements attracted the attention of all the spectators outside. They all stood up and expressed their strong incomprehension of An Su's behavior. Several priests of the Alchemy Church were even more vocal.
"He doesn't need iron to forge his sword?"
“He doesn’t want any of the materials!”
"Ansu is just giving up, thinking he can't pass the level anyway."
They couldn't understand this boy's purpose. The blood-sucking monster was about to break the seal. Was this boy trying to save his life? "My alchemy doesn't need these complicated and expensive things."
An Su, on the other hand, had a calm expression, his dark blue eyes gleaming with the wisdom of a master. "The so-called great skill requires no work, the great way is simple, and the great image is rare. The more advanced the alchemy, the less it needs the assistance of materials."
"As for the most simple and pure alchemy, it is the true meaning of alchemy." An Su said loudly, "The more you save materials, the more money you save. The more money you save, the more gold coins you have, which means the more gold you can refine. This is the supreme alchemy of our Morning Star family."
Luo Xiaohei stared at An Su with a dark face. She had already plowed the ancestral graves of An Su's family in her heart. She had never heard of such cheap alchemy. All the alchemy materials were embezzled by you! How can you forge a sword without materials!
How can I refine the holy water into the blade?
The seal was almost at its limit. The blood servant was tearing the holy cloth frantically. Pair after pair of bloody hands tore open the door and rushed into the restaurant impatiently. It was panting, blood dripping from its fangs, and a strong and foul smell of blood filled the air.
[Remaining seal time: ten minutes]
"Okay. Let's start refining." Ansu smiled. He poured the only material that he did not embezzle - the bottle of holy water - into a conical bottle, placed it on the table, put his hands on the table, and chanted the magic softly.
All mid- and high-level magic is disabled, but low-level magic can still be used, such as elemental magic, temperature magic, etc.
Among them, temperature magic is crucial. The reason why alchemy is alchemy is that it first uses high temperature to melt the metal, and then the alchemical circuit can be portrayed, so temperature magic is not banned.
This is the traditional thinking.
But what was beyond Elf's expectation, and even beyond the expectations of all alchemists, was -
Ansu's temperature magic, however, did the opposite. Not only did he not use high temperature, but he lowered the temperature instead. He quickly lowered the temperature on the alchemy table. The icy cold spread along the table and eroded the holy water!
Elf twitched her ears, and suddenly she thought of something, and her eyes widened. The examiner, Ashley, who was watching outside, did not react either. She looked at Ansu's series of strange and bizarre operations in confusion, wondering if he had not woken up yet.
There is neither refined gold nor alchemical fire. I have never seen this type of alchemy! Ansu chanted the temperature magic softly, and the cold temperature completely corroded the tabletop. The temperature of the tabletop dropped below zero in an instant, and the holy water in the conical bottle began to gradually freeze.
First, a sharp weapon is needed to pierce the vampire's skin, and only holy water can hurt a vampire.
Second, only a large amount of holy water entering the vampire's body can kill the vampire.
So ordinary players have to refine holy water into weapons, so that they can achieve the above two goals, but Ansu is an evil player, he will choose the simplest alchemy method that maximizes benefits! More and more viewers realized what Ansu was doing, they blinked their eyes, and felt that today's ticket seemed to be worth the price.
Under the low temperature, ten pints of holy water - a full four liters - completely froze. Because it was placed in a long conical bottle, its shape was perfectly matched with the conical bottle, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, gradually becoming slender, and at the very bottom, there was a sharp ice tip flashing! Because the holy water was not friendly to any non-living things, even if it froze, it was not connected to the conical bottle, so Ansu poured it out of the conical bottle easily with a backhand.
He held it in his backhand and felt it was cold and smooth, and sharp around it, just like holding an icicle.
Ordinary warlocks refine holy water into weapons, but Anzu froze holy water into weapons! [Room Task 1: Refine a weapon that can restrain vampires - Ice Redemption Sacred Blade, completed]
[Room Task 2: Please kill the blood servant outside the door]
".Did you teach this heaven-defying alchemy?"
Bishop Morgan watched with a painful look as Ansu packed up all the extra alchemical materials and took them away. She turned around and stared at Merlin with a dark face.
"." Merlin was silent for a while, then he slowly said, "This is the alchemy of the Zibeng family that has been passed down from his ancestors."
