Yun Wei couldn't help but bump Isaac with his head.
He laughed and said, "No wonder you said such meaningful things when you said goodbye to Mark. You must have already made up your mind back then."
It turns out that the "goodbye" the other party mentioned earlier was not a polite farewell, but a preview of meeting again soon.
No wonder the other party was so confident in asking him to go on a date; it turns out they had already made plans.
Isaac had clearly pinned Yun Wei's hands down, but he hadn't expected the other's indestructible body.
He chuckled, lowered his head, nuzzled Yun Wei's head, and silently responded with a "Mm".
As expected, nothing escapes Yun Wei's eyes.
...
For the next week, Isaac worked from dawn till dusk, but made only slight progress.
After all, the "Hand of the Gods" is the second largest faction in Alchemy City, second only to the "Golden Dawn." It's unrealistic to expect them to easily infiltrate the core workshops right away.
Isaac appeared to have joined the outer workshops as the illegitimate son of a fallen nobleman, lying low and waiting for his opportunity.
The other party told him: "I noticed that they will be sending a batch of saltpeter powder to the warehouse next week, where some charcoal and sulfur powder have already been stored. I can secretly plan a small-scale explosion..."
If he could cause enough unrest to disrupt production plans and strain the schedules of upstream workshops, he would have the opportunity to be urgently requisitioned to a more central workshop.
After hearing this, Yun Wei felt that although this approach was slower, it was indeed more reliable.
So he didn't say much, but simply handed Isaac a note that recorded the ideal ratio of the three.
As for himself, he made full use of his spare time to complete the transcription of some of the seven elemental spells in Sid's library.
Of the level four spells, he only learned the wind-based levitation spell. After mastering this spell, theoretically, he could fly briefly using magic.
The reason is self-evident.
He focused his main efforts on high-level spells of the fifth and sixth tiers.
The level 5 spells for meter reading are as follows (along with the already completed necromancy spells):
[Necromantic System]
Thorn Bone Swamp (continuous damage, slow), Soul Stealing Technique (directly and forcibly implants commands), God Searching Curse (reviews the memories of the dead), White Bone Spear (single-target damage).
[Water System]
Purifying the Sea (group debuff removal, healing, mana regeneration), Sharpness of Water (group damage).
[Fire]
Sunburst (single-target damage).
Among them, he mainly practiced the water-based spell "Clear Sea" repeatedly. He had heard Isaac mention this spell in the academy's library long ago.
But after carefully reading the records about this spell, he suddenly realized what it meant.
This spell, which combines crowd control removal, recovery, and mana restoration, is incredibly cost-effective.
Especially regarding mana regeneration, after searching through all other high-level spells, he found that only this spell had this unique effect.
This means that once he masters this spell, he can greatly extend the time he spends practicing magic each day.
It makes sense, as water is the second most stable element after earth among the seven elements. Its decay is almost negligible, and it is very gentle, making it easy for people to absorb.
After all, people need to drink water, but they can't eat dirt.
Yun Wei's sixth-level spell for transcribing the table is (along with the necromancy spells he has already mastered):
[Necromantic System]
Paradise Gate (summons a group of skeletons), Pyromancy Resurrection (controls the dead), Wither Codex (a more advanced wither spell).
[Water System]
Wave Bind (single-target strong control), Phantom Sea Heart (single-target strong shield).
[Fire]
Scorching Sea of Fire (Area of Effect Damage).
Among them, the Gates of Paradise directly opens the space to the plane of the dead, allowing you to summon an army from the plane of the dead without needing ready-made corpses or skeletons.
This spell is very powerful, but considering that the undead plane has now been submerged by the abyss, it is best not to use it lightly.
As for the Spell Resurrection, it doesn't actually resurrect the body, but rather briefly manipulates the corpse for a period of time, only preserving the original strength of the corpse.
This is the first in the "Pyromancy" series of spells; the other two spells, "Pyromancy: Berserk" and "Pyromancy: Trap," are level seven spells.
The water and fire spells he chose for meter reading might not be the best combination, but in the library of a lightning mage, it was the most reasonable ratio that Yun Wei could find.
Although Sid's house contains the most records about lightning magic, it should be noted that Yun Wei mainly masters water magic.
Generally speaking, casting water magic often makes the entire battlefield wet. For example, the Purifying Sea mentioned earlier makes the abundant water element surround the area.
As we all know, water elements that have adsorbed impurities are called solutions, and these solutions can conduct electricity.
The numbness caused by electric shock is the most fatal blow to a magician.
Speaking of which, it's worth mentioning that Yun Wei finally understood why Dean Victor could so easily silence those warriors who were poised to fight back at the academy.
The opponent also took advantage of this characteristic of the lightning element.
That was the group silence caused by the level seven lightning magic "Shock and Mind Control". He had seen the record of this spell in Sid's spellbook.
No wonder the "Guide" written during the Second Dynasty recorded basic lightning magic such as "shield breaking". It turns out that lightning magic has always been evolving and extending in the direction of "magic breaking".
...
On this day, after listening to Xi De's latest message, Yun Wei sighed.
The good news is that, thanks to the personal guidance of an alchemist skilled in potion making, the plague in Bethlehem was effectively controlled before it spread.
The bad news is that Master Sid, who was originally scheduled to return in half a month, now has an uncertain return date.
The message didn't specify what the other party was busy with, but Yun Wei could imagine just how busy Xi De must be.
In short, his assignment to this alchemy laboratory will be extended significantly once again...
Yun Wei simply left a message for the other party, saying that he must return to Alchemy City before the end of January next year.
He had promised Xie Mulang that he would go to Bili for the New Year, and he absolutely could not break his promise.
Although managing this barely break-even laboratory was like walking on thin ice, Yun Wei had no complaints whatsoever.
Putting aside his relationship with Sid, the notes and books that Sid lent him were already priceless treasures.
You should know that the advanced magic recorded in the library is a priceless secret.
He already felt he could never repay the kindness of Sid so generously lending him all his books.
Moreover, through studying alchemy, his understanding of magic was greatly deepened.
Unlike magic books that record spells, alchemy is an insight into the essence of the world. The two are like a macroscopic understanding and a microscopic exploration. Only by combining them can we avoid the deviations caused by the blind men and the elephant or by limited perspectives.
Lost in thought, Yun Wei suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He looked in the direction of the sound and found that standing in the doorway was none other than George, the butler, who was never usually seen there.
