Super Dimensional Wizard - Chapter 166
Chapter 166
He has a complicated mood at this moment. If Angel chose pharmaceutics, he probably wouldn’t mention anything. But Angel chose the same profession of alchemy inscription he is in. The scales of Libra in his mind began to shift.
David did not explain anything about the thick stack of books. He just looked at Angel with a smile and let him make his own choice.
Angel didn’t notice David’s mind turning a thousand times. He purposefully picked out the book he wanted from the pile. Flipped through the pages quickly. Then, with great rapidity, quickly pointed out the materials he wanted to buy.
“12 standard quantities of Fog Silk, 7.8kg of High Copper, 11 cups of Orchid Gravel, 349g Ice Gel, and Cold Star Gold…”
David looked at Angel’s sophisticated selection and suddenly realized that Angel had a blueprint in mind before making the selection. Although all the materials he selected were not advanced ones, there was an intrinsic connection between the two. For example, Ice Gel and Cold Star Gold don’t seem to be compatible. But David once went to Master Promi’s house and heard Promi communicating with another alchemy master. He mentioned that if Ice Gel was used within five minutes after the Heat Blend Art in addition with a certain amount of catalytic powder. It was the best adhesive for Cold Star Gold. High Copper is often used in mechanical alchemy. It is the ideal material for making intermediate materials such as gears. Fog Silk is also a tough and ductile material for matching the rotation of gears. These two are also common combinations.
When Angel was able to come up with these selections, he obviously already has ideas on what he wants. Looking at the other materials he selected, some have high-temperature resistance, some have strong ductility, and others can help maintain power source. When all the materials are integrated, it can be seen as an embryonic form of some kind of mechanical alchemy.
Until then, the trace of discomfort in David’s heart disappeared. Because he saw that Angel did not treat alchemy with a playful attitude, which was enough for him.
Angel has chosen many materials, which were actually designed to deal with his inner ideas about alchemy weapons.
“There are 17 kinds of materials in total. If the measurement is based on what you have chosen, then you would need 1321 contribution points. I’ll erase your change and give it to you for 1300 points.” David glanced at Angel’s list and quickly calculated the price.
The value of 1300 contribution points is worth about 13 magic crystal. This is already a sky-high price for any Wizard Apprentice. One has to know. Angel has spent 500 contribution points to rent a villa. But for Angel, he can still come up with the price. Not too long ago, he earned 1000 contribution points from Lord Liana.
Taking out his bone card, he brushed 1300 contribution points.
This arrogant attitude raised envy and jealousy in David’s heart.
At that moment, the two crystal balls on the table glowed slightly. David glanced over at them and said, “The information you requested has been transferred. I’ll go to the warehouse to gather the materials for you. Would you like me to bring it up to you now or do you want me to deliver it to your door?”
“Surely you will deliver it to my door. I don’t have any space equipment.”
“Well, thank you, the delivery fee is 10 contribution points.”
…
After coming out of Promi Alchemy Shop, Angel went to Sky Tower again. When he came, Nausica’s battle was over and he saw she was sleeping in the rest area. Angel chatted with Nausica for a while, and as they expected. Nausica did not even pull out her weapon in the battle arena. Instead, she used her fists and legs and defeated the Immortal Ice Emperor in two or three strokes.
Nausica won a battle and had no intention of stopping. She was ready to seize this rare opportunity and continue fighting.
Angel left a blessing and said goodbye to her as he returned to his home in Apprentice Town.
As soon as Toby got home, he flew to the attic and started a new concert with his echo flower band. Angel sat in the yard, listening to Toby’s “Noisy Concert” while waiting for David to deliver the goods to his door.
Leisure time passed quickly. Half an hour later, David shouted at four strong men and came to the front door of Angel’s house. These four strong men are all mortals, and they got into groups of two while they carried several sealed wooden boxes into the residence.
Angel directed them to move the wooden boxes to the basement. Then they were cracked opened after to a final check to confirm that the materials were correct before the mortals were dismissed.
“Four ordinary people, one needs to pay 10 contribution points for their labour… Your calculation is so precise.” Angel silently said behind David.
David blinked innocently: “You don’t have space equipment, do you? That’s a standard equipment for a Wizard Lord, but us apprentices don’t have to think about it. Therefore, ordinary people must be used for door-to-door deliveries.”
Angel waved angrily. “You got it so cheaply and sold it so well. Now go away.”
After David had left, Angel went to the basement to sort out the materials. By the time everything was finished, the moon had climbed overhead and was shining brilliantly above the Tree of Eternity.
Angel dragged his tired body and collapsed on the bed. There were too many things happening today. Although all bad luck turned into good luck in the end, his spirit is already tired and tightly stretched. With a yawn, he covers the quilts over himself and carelessly falls asleep almost instantly when he eyes closed.
The next morning, after Angel washed up, he came to the quiet room.
The sequelae of the spell backlash has not been completely eliminated, so meditation and spell training need to be postponed for the time being. But his study plan remains unchanged. Today, he intends to formally study alchemy theory.
Alchemy, originally in Angel’s mind, is actually analogous to chemistry. Chemistry is also a subject that transforms the properties of certain elements. To some extent, alchemy is very similar to chemistry. But when he combined what he learned from Sanders collection with the books recorded in the Nightmare Plane. Angel suddenly noticed that the Earth’s chemistry and Wizard Plane’s alchemy, although seemingly having a connection, were essentially two different subjects.
Alchemy is a transformation method driven by the “Mystical” and behind each transformation, there is Mystical Energy involved. Even mechanical alchemy requires magic power at its core followed by kinetic energy.
In addition, if one wants to learn alchemy, one has to dabble in magic patterns. With the use of magic patterns, mystical energy contained in the material is pulled out, and then the most perfect combination is constructed. Alternatively, alchemy simply takes a magic pattern as the core and materials as the supplement.
After Angel finished reading the alchemy theory, his head was throbbing. He thought it would be enough to learn some alchemy spells. Who knew it would involve learning magic patterns. This is also a very large and complex subject. If one wants to learn how to draw magic pattern scrolls, at which point, one will not lack the flower called magic crystal.
Angel sighed, sure enough, to reach the level of making alchemy weapons in a short period seems to be pure fantasy. For the time being, he had to start with the scientific and technological side of the Earth. Machinery alchemy has a bit of a technological flavour. But in his final analysis, the foundation is still based on mystical power, so it is still diametrically opposed to science and technology.
Angel’s current plan is to use Earth Weapons as blueprint drawings to cooperate with the alchemical means of the Wizard Plane. He wants to see if he can produce a weapon that can deter a Wizard Apprentice.
