Chapter 248 Alchemy Factory Under Construction

History is a very interesting thing. Even in this world where immortal species are everywhere, history still has many shadows that cannot be uncovered.

This may not have much to do with life expectancy, because even if you ask people today what major events happened in the past few months, you will often get dozens of different answers, many of which are completely opposite. You may even start fighting while chatting.

Ultimately, it is because people have different standpoints, different values, and different things they know.

So studying history is sometimes studying human hearts.

Amberxiu didn't understand this. He thought that Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit would not be able to provide much useful information to Hecky Stone. After all, this heroic spirit had no idea what happened after the death of the Dragon Tyrant.

But Herky Stone said: "Being able to talk to this Holy King in person, even if it is just the Holy King in his youth, is enough to reveal many mysteries."

Let professionals handle professional matters. Amberxiu brought the dwarf vampire to his underground city, took out the artifact hourglass, and placed it in front of Hecky Stone.

Arthur Lane's spirit appeared in response to Amber's call, still in that weak and translucent appearance.

Heroic spirits are very special. Once their power is consumed, it is difficult to replenish it.

Amberxiu does have ways to help, but these methods are often necromancy. He doesn't want to pollute Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit. What if the Ryan people refuse to recognize him and refuse to pay him?

Therefore, although Arthur Ryan is still a pure Holy Light Heroic Spirit, he still looks weak and fragile.

When Herky Stone saw Arthur Lane, he almost knelt down before him and said excitedly: "You are His Majesty Arthur Lane. It is my great honor to meet you in person."

Arthur Ryan was embarrassed by the vampire and said quickly: "Don't say that. Strictly speaking, I am not the same person as the emperor who founded the empire."

After so long, Arthur Lane slowly accepted the reality.

Even if it has some memories, a Heroic Spirit is a Heroic Spirit, and is already another completely independent soul that has nothing to do with the original body.

The heroic spirit Arthur Ryan inherited the character of the Holy King and would not acknowledge this glory that did not belong to him.

Heki Stone wanted to insist and salute the Heroic Spirit, but Amber reminded him, "Hey, figure out your alignment, okay? The Undead kneel before the Holy Light Heroic Spirit. If the other members of the Mourning Poets Society know about this, they will probably kick you out."

Hecky Stone said angrily: "How dare you say that to me?! Who is it that boasts all day long that the paladins kneel down to you collectively?!"

An Boxiu smiled and said, "That's different. If I tell others about it, it will be an honor. If you tell others about it, you will be kicked out of the Mourning Poetry Society."

Hecky Stone was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he was powerless to refute. Amber was right. The nature of the two things was indeed different.

Arthur Lane was a little surprised and asked, "Are you a vampire?"

Herky Stone said quickly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am indeed a vampire, but I am also a historian."

Arthur Lane said with emotion: "Times have really changed. I never heard of dwarf vampires in my time."

Herky Stone: ...

Amber Xiu almost laughed out loud, and quickly added: "No, Your Majesty Ryan, dwarf vampires are rare in this era."

Heki Stone glared at Amber and said, "If you interrupt me again, I will quarrel with you! Get out, people like you who don't understand history should not come to interfere with us."

This sounds like a date between a man and a woman, but Amber Xiu is not trying to be a third wheel here.

When doing business, he is honest and has given time for Hecky Stone to ask questions, so Amber would not deliberately make trouble here.

Leaving the laboratory to the two men, Amberxiu came to the fountain in the center of the city.

The flowing wind and spring water created by the World Weaving Spell maintain their original frequency. This spell can permanently change the terrain and weather. It is like making a request to the world, and the world gives you an eternal response.

An endless stream of undead were busy everywhere, digging the ground, paving tunnels, directing water to where it was needed, and digging out sand and gold from buildings that had not yet been completely excavated, and transporting them separately to different places for storage.

These skeletons did not work very precisely. Occasionally, some of them would spin in place, or they would collide with each other, spilling the transported items all over the ground.

But it's not a big problem, because these undead don't know fatigue, and they can make up for their mistakes themselves even if they make them.

At first glance, their work efficiency may not be as good as that of humans, but over a long period of time, the undead are still the most time-saving and labor-saving "workers".

Amberxiu spread his perception to cover most of the city and found that the project was progressing well.

It seems that Harvey understood the drawings well. The division of the site was very reasonable. From the raw material handling area to the processing area, to the batch filling area, everything had been carefully planned, waiting for Amber Xiu to preside over the construction.

Amberxiu arrived at the center of the alchemy factory and saw Harvey holding torches and directing the skeletons to work.

Seeing Amber return, Harvey hurried over to report: "Teacher, according to your request, I have roughly planned the venue, and the work of cleaning the space has been completed for the most part. It is estimated that it will be completed in half a month."

Amber nodded and said, "Well done. I knew you could understand the blueprints. I brought the magic element refining furnace back. You will be in charge of supervising the installation."

Harvey said awkwardly: "Teacher, please don't give me such an important task. I really can't understand the alchemy drawings."

Amber Xiu said strangely: "But you have adjusted these partitions well."

Harvey smiled bitterly and said, "I just used the power of prophecy to guess."

After Amber left, Harvey found that he could not understand the details of the blueprint at all, let alone make any adjustments, but he could at least understand that the alchemy factory was roughly divided into several areas.

Amber asked him to adjust the area distribution according to the architecture of the dungeon. That was easy, so Harvey chose to just roll the dice.

Roll a dice in front of each building. Depending on the area it lands on, the building and the surrounding areas will be grouped into the same area.

It took Harvey several days and he was exhausted to finally divide all the areas.

But it's possible to divide the areas and let him be responsible for supervision. He doesn't even know what a magic element refining furnace is, so he can't even find the direction when throwing the dice.

After hearing his explanation, Amber Xiu couldn't help but say, "I really don't know if you are a genius or an idiot. Is this how you use the power of prophecy? Aren't you afraid that the goddess of fate will slap you to death?!"

What surprised Amber was that Harvey's progress was so fast that he had so many dice of fate that he could throw them in every corner of the city?

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Harvey said helplessly: "Teacher, please don't force me. I can learn other spells very quickly, but alchemy... I really don't understand it."

Harvey was also helpless. He once thought that he was a smart man. After all, he had successfully entered the profession of prophecy mage, which had a high threshold, and mastered various spells very quickly.

But alchemy doesn't work, because it tests memory rather than spellcasting ability.

Harvey had read Amber's collection of books. Alchemy did not require any spellcasting ability and any mortal could do it, but one had to remember the characteristics, uses, processing methods, and various data and operating details of each material.

Harvey felt dizzy reading this kind of rote memorization stuff, and after two days he decided to give up. He really had no talent for learning alchemy.

Amber Xiu said disappointedly: "You are a magician with increased intelligence."

Harvey could only say helplessly: "Teacher, there are not many people in the world who are proficient in everything like you."

The compliment was at least half sincere. After seeing Amber's collection of books, Harvey realized that his teacher was a super-learned type. He might not be the undisputed number one in a certain skill, but what he knew was definitely beyond most people.

The gap between Harvey and Amber is so huge in this regard that I don’t know how many years it will take for him to catch up.

But Amber Xiu said coldly: "Flattery is useless to me."

"Teacher, I really mean it."

"It's no use to flatter someone sincerely."

…

Amber had lived for so long, and had spent most of his life on adventures. He had seen everyone and was immune to such verbal flattery. Harvey might as well give him a few thousand gold coins to honor his teacher, which would be more effective.

However, seeing Harvey's dilemma, Amberxiu didn't force him. Some people really don't have the talent for alchemy and can't be forced.

"Then I'll give you another task. Go to the surface and help me investigate which alchemical potions were most commonly used by the desert people in the past, their sales volume, their prices, and the user groups that used the potions. Give me a detailed survey."

Amber took out a pile of parchment from his pocket. There were many questions written on it. This was the market research form he had thought of. If he wanted to reopen the alchemy market, he had to adapt to the living habits of different regions.

Amberxiu has no time to deal with these tedious tasks himself. Students are meant to be exploited.

Harvey took it quickly. It was not a difficult task if he was just doing an investigation, and it would be a good thing for him to be able to return to the ground. Harvey was a human being after all, and staying underground all day, mixed with a group of undead, would have a serious impact on his body.

"I understand, teacher. I will definitely get it done for you."

"Okay, go quickly." Amber waved his hand to let Harvey leave, and then walked into a huge building.

This looked like some kind of religious site of a lost civilization. The ceiling was much higher than those of ordinary houses, and the lobby was wide enough to place an entire magic element refining furnace, but there was no statue-like thing. Amberxiu didn't understand archaeology, so he couldn't tell anything more.

Originally, this church-like building was filled with golden benches and various gold decorations, but these things have now been emptied.

Amber Xiu drew a teleportation magic circle in this lobby. The magic element refining furnace was too huge, and the various parts piled up like a mountain, so it was very troublesome to build. The only way to rely on the teleportation circle was to send the workers and the parts here.

Before he finished, Herky Stone suddenly appeared in front of Amber and said excitedly: "I have a great discovery! I may have guessed the reason why Arthur Lane disappeared!"
