Chapter 131 [Chen's Debut]

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Ali Ke's daze, Du Wei tried his best to memorize this list. For a while, I couldn't help memorizing the list of magic plants and the dosage in the formula. By the time Ailike had recovered, Du Wei had already quietly put the formula on the extremely expensive metal test bench.

Old Ailike's face was extremely ugly, his eyelids were drooping, and his proud expression just now was gone. He suddenly moved his lips, and whispered to himself: "Could it be...have I been wasting time all these years? Sigh... yes Yes! Yes! I am conceited and wise. In this field, there is no one in the entire magic union who is higher than me.   Alas, it turns out that I am too conceited. No wonder those guys don’t take every invention of mine seriously. Even my disciples don’t think highly of me.  Hmm... Popularization, popularization! If the cost of inventing something is higher than the original one, then what’s the point! I’m really wasting my time!”

After finishing speaking, there was a flash of determination in Aili Ke's eyes. He shook his robe, and a green flame shot out from his sleeve, and shot at the sheepskin file on the table. In an instant, the sheepskin file was melted in the flames. For ashes. The emerald green flame was extremely strange, and the emerald green flame lingered, but only the parchment scroll was burnt, leaving no trace on the metal table.

Seeing that old Alley was so lost, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little guilty.  But what he said is not wrong, but the cost is naturally extremely expensive for others, but for him Du Wei.  Possessing the "time lapse" spring water that can stimulate the vitality of all living things, no matter how expensive and rare magic plants are, it is easier for him to cultivate than Chinese cabbage!

However, this secret cannot be told to others.

"Master Eric.  " Du Wei hesitated, and said slowly: "I don't think you need to be so disappointed.   In fact, in my opinion, you are the most outstanding magic inventor I have ever met! Flying broom. And your 'Blood of Aric' is something I have never heard of before.   Simply speaking of creativity and ideas.   It is already unprecedented.  ”

"What's the use of that! Hmph! The things produced have no practical use value at all! After the blood of Arico is produced, the cost may be more than double that of Mithril! The substitute is more expensive than the original product. All expensive, it’s a joke. ”

"That's not what you said." Du Wei shook his head: "At least you have proposed a new way of thinking, and the new way you have proved with your actual actions is feasible! It turns out that no one has ever successfully found a replacement Mithril stuff, but you found it.   Even if this product is not very successful.   At least it inspired others, let everyone discover another possibility! I can guarantee that in the future, there will be more magicians studying your method Invention. Perhaps in the near future, someone will be able to improve your formula and reduce costs. Or simply find a new way! The greatest significance of your invention is to prove that it is possible to find something to replace Mithril ', in this simple sense, is already a great discovery!"

Only then did Eric come back to his senses. I looked at this kid carefully from top to bottom, and felt that this little guy's words really suited my appetite, and the more I looked at it, the more pleasing to my eyes, I couldn't help sighing: "Oh! What a pity! You are the most admired boy I have ever met in my life, None of my idiot apprentices can compare to you. If I had met you sooner. I must find a way to accept you as an apprentice. In my whole life, I have nothing else to do but like to do some novel magic Props, these things, after I die, I am afraid no one will inherit them.   Alas, it is a pity that you are a disciple of Master Gandolf, so I can no longer teach you.  ”

Du Wei rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Why can't you teach? Do you have to be my teacher before you are willing to teach? You must have a master-student relationship. Can you teach me things?"

In the magic circle of Roland Continent. Magic knowledge has always been taught privately by masters and apprentices, if not disciples.  Then you can never learn your own magic.  This is almost a traditional rule.  But Du Wei's words fell into the ears of the old lunatic. He was originally a weird person, and he didn't get angry when he heard it. The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt.

"Well! I don't teach him any magic spells. I just pass on my ability to make magic props to him. It's not a violation of the rules... Besides, I heard that the thing the chairman talked about with the royal family happened after the summer festival. There will be results.   At that time, all the rules taught privately by master and apprentice will probably be broken.   What else should I be afraid of?".

Thinking of this, Ali slapped his head: "Okay! As long as you are willing to learn, from today onwards, you can come to me anytime, and I will teach you how to make magic props!"

The old monster cheered up again, and chatted casually with Du Wei for a while. Alley can be regarded as the leading master of making magic props in the magic guild. He has been immersed in researching various magic plants, monsters, and various magic crystal gems for more than a hundred years in his life. His cultivation in this area can be described as It is the first person in the mainland.

And Du Wei is a freak, he spent so many years, not doing anything else, just sitting in the room and reading all day. He has been a human being in two lives, and the knowledge of his previous life, together with the knowledge of magic on Roland's continent, can often collide with some wonderful sparks. In addition, he has read a lot of books, and he has a lot of knowledge in his heart. The old and the young became more and more speculative, and Aili could not help but stamp his feet and beat his chest every time he remembered that this guy was already Gandolf's apprentice, and he was his peer in terms of seniority.

The two chatted for a while, and then Du Wei mentioned that his original intention of coming today was for the broomstick.  Alley could not help but blushed when he heard this, and hesitated for a long time before sighing and explaining the truth.

It turned out that the broomstick, like this "Arico's Blood", was a flashy thing. The cost of that broomstick is probably more expensive than three or four wind magic circles!

Under normal circumstances, such as Du Wei's flying cloak. The cost of using the magic crystal is about 20,000 gold coins. Although the broom that Old Alley obtained can be used without crystals, the cost is probably even more terrible! I'm afraid I can't even get out without seventy or eighty thousand gold coins!

"The broom, in fact, the key lies in the material used to make the broom.   Although crystals can be used...but..."

Aili took out the broom, put it on the metal test bench and explained carefully, Du Wei was originally a smart person, after hearing it.  Immediately understood.

Ordinary brooms are mostly made of dry branches, and this flying broom is no exception.  Nothing but. In order not to use magic crystals, this "twig" is no ordinary branch!

"Magic crystals are considered necessary for arranging magic circles.  Because there is really no other thing that can store magic power other than crystals.   However, after decades of research, I found that wood is the only one Things that don’t reject magic and are convenient.   It’s just that the nature of storing magic power is far worse than crystals.   So, I thought, can wood replace crystals..."

Du Wei's heart moved, the idea of ​​this old Eric. It's the same as that big-headed genius in the wand shop... Well, that guy named Seth, it has the same effect!

Sure enough, the old Alley continued: "I have studied magic crystals for decades, and spent countless thoughts to decompose the composition of crystals, and then I researched a result: the reason why crystals can store magic power is because there are A special composition, I call it 'magic crystal'.   I used many kinds of materials to dissolve and crush the crystal many times.   Finally, I used a magnifying glass that I specially created to magnify objects a thousand times. See the ground!"

As he said that, Ailike moved out a crude instrument about half a meter high from under the metal table. Du Wei couldn't help being stunned when he saw it... This is exactly like the microscope he saw in his previous life , but it is many times bigger, and its shape is a bit weird.

"I discovered it.   It is precisely because of the subtle existence of this 'magic crystal' that crystals can store magic power.   So I thought, if I can find magic crystals in other substances, then it can replace magic crystals.  " Alley laughed and said: "I have experimented with many things. I have not experimented with other magic gemstones that are similar to crystals, because the type is similar to crystals and has no research value. I have experimented with so many things that you can't even imagine. From plants From ordinary ores. In the end, even the bones of monsters were tested by me. Finally. It suddenly occurred to me that plants are actually the best choice. You know. Among the woods, walnuts are the best for making magic props wood, and it must be over 50 years old. ”

Alley laughed a bit, and continued: "Later, I found out that this kind of 'magic crystal' is also found in wood.   However, the content in wood is too small.   Among the wood, the best is walnut, But the content is far lower than that of crystals by more than ten times.   But I can't find any other substances, so I have to use wood as an experiment... ".

What Aili Ke said next opened Du Wei's eyes. He used various things to refine the seeds of walnut trees, cultivated the seedlings in various ways, and even created several mutated and weird plants. Finally, a small amount of strange minerals are produced in a walnut texture, which is the so-called "magic crystal".

"I have spent a lot of thought, but this kind of walnut seedlings specially bred by me are extremely difficult to survive! I spent several years of hard work, and most of the seedlings died, only a few remained... oh , Originally walnut trees should live for more than 50 years, but how can I wait for 50 years? As for the few remaining seedlings, I am afraid that they will wither and die in less than a year.   Moreover, my new Although the cultivated seedlings contain some 'magic crystals', they have a fatal weakness, that is, the repeated use rate is very low! And they are extremely unstable! The magic crystals inside will break and lose their effectiveness at some point .  so that... the few times I started experimenting, two of my apprentices flew up with this broom, but almost fell to their deaths!"

"Fall to death?" Du Wei's eyes widened: "Your apprentices are at least intermediate magicians! Even if the broom fails, at least they can fly up by themselves with wind magic, and they will never fall down?"

"Huh!" Ai Like stared at him: "Those guys, they are fooling me! Ask them to help me experiment, push three times and four times! One of the earliest guys.  He helped me test this kind of broom, but secretly Put the broom under the crotch, and quietly cast the flying technique to fly up! Hehe, you are cheating me like this!! Think I can’t see it! Later, before they experimented, I used magic to seal their magic power, so that They can't use magic!"

Du Wei's scalp went numb!

After thinking for a while, Du Wei said: "Those seedlings you cultivated.   How many more? Can you give me one?"

Aili waved his hand: "Whatever! Now my heart is cold... well, if you hadn't reminded me.   I'm still at the corner of my head.   These seedlings that I worked so hard to think can replace the magic crystal, but I didn't expect the cultivation of these seedlings The energy and cost invested in it are much higher than that of crystals.  The gain outweighs the loss... If you like it, it doesn’t matter if you take it away.  ”

After finishing speaking, Aili turned around and walked to a warehouse at the back, after a while. A few small flowerpots were brought out, and there were indeed a few seedlings that seemed to grow in an extremely "difficult" way, and the branches and leaves glowed with a strange metallic color, but judging by the half-dead appearance, it is estimated that the old Aili just said that It's a big talk.

What can't survive a year! I'm afraid it would be nice to live for three months!

"And this, this is the blueprint for making a broom." Arico handed over a roll of sheepskin: "There is a blueprint of a miniature wind magic circle in my special facility on it. Just put it in the tube of the broom handle. Actually, there is nothing complicated in the craftsmanship. It’s just that this plant is too precious. ”

Du Wei carefully put them away one by one. Those seedlings were also carefully put into their magic baggage.

Old Aili took a look at Du Wei's magic baggage, frowned and said, "Is this your space storage item? It looks too old..."

But then he smiled and said: "Well, this burden is left to you by Master Gandolf? No wonder, Master Gandolf practiced pure magic and is not very good at making props.   I will give you some thing. "

finished. He turned around and took down a simple wooden box from a row of shelves on the wall. After opening it, a row of decorations were neatly placed inside. Necklace hanging cones, rings, bracelets, etc.

"These are all space storage items, and the storage space inside is much larger than your magic baggage. I made them for fun when I was free. All of them are given to you!"

Du Wei is overjoyed! He has long felt that it is inconvenient not to have a suitable storage item around him. Although this magic bag is good, its style is too ugly after all, and it carries a bag with it.  After all, there is no such thing as more convenient to mount small objects on the body.

He was also not polite to old Allie.  Smiling, he put the box into his arms.

Old Alley had a tearful sale today.  It is also because of being depressed, and suddenly feel that all thoughts are lost. Looking at the kid in front of him so pleasing to the eye, he couldn't help but make these moves. He sent out these things, and sighed: "I'm over one hundred and fifty years old, and I don't know how many years I can live.  I'm afraid I can't improve these researches in my life. Me. All these things from me will be passed on to you one by one. Alas...'.

Du Wei's expression froze, he took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Master Aric... I will definitely find a way to make these inventions of yours flourish!"

※#8226;

The mood of experimenting with the broomstick that he planned to do was gone. Du Wei was fine anyway, so he simply took this opportunity to ask Aili Ke for advice on magic. Ailike has immersed in a lifetime of knowledge, how profound it is, especially he is good at making magic props, and he is also the top alchemist on the mainland! How can the understanding of the properties, uses, ingredients, etc. of various magic materials be compared with the simple records in the literature that Du Wei has read?

Old Aili was also interested, so he simply moved out a lot of cherished things from the warehouse, walked on the instrument one by one, decomposed, melted, heated... and so on. After the process, Du Wei can be regarded as I have gained a lot of knowledge, and more importantly, every time I teach a thing, the old Aili Ke will generously give a copy of the same thing to Du Wei to keep it back and study it slowly.

In less than half a day, Du Wei's magic baggage was almost fully stored. If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of shameful things in his magic bag, he would have cleared the inventory in the bag in front of Arico.

Neither of them had lunch in the afternoon. Old Ayric has just demonstrated a blood called "Tuniai Tripod Dragon", which is used to soak weapons to strengthen the metal strength.

"...This kind of three-legged dragon is actually a kind of dragon clan.   But it is a hybrid offspring of the lowest dragon and other monsters, a low-level creature without any intelligence.   But because of the blood of the dragon clan, The blood of this kind of creature is a very good reinforcing fluid, which can make weapons and shields. Even directly applied to the human body, it can make it more than twice as strong..."

finished.  Du Wei accepted a small bottle of this red-black blood.

Finally, Alley sighed, glanced at the sky outside the window, and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, and I have something to do to find another old monster downstairs.   That's it for today!"

At this moment, Du Wei is full of respect for this old Ali Ke, this guy is definitely a genius old monster.  After studying with him for a day, Du Wei felt that he had learned a lot. If you can come here every day and learn from this old monster for a while. It's really good for my magic cultivation... Among other things, the old monster has collected all kinds of rare treasures that can't be seen outside all his life, which is enough to open Du Wei's eyes!

Du Wei was about to leave when Old Alley suddenly asked, "By the way... I heard from the chairman that after the summer festival, you will be assessed for your magic level?"

"Yes." Du Wei nodded.

"Hmm..." Aili touched his nose, nodded and said: "That's right! As a closed disciple of Master Gandolf, how can he not have a level.   It's not good to only wear a robe of a magician all the time.   You always I can't disgrace Gandolf... Let me ask you. How are you preparing for the magic level assessment? Which department of magic are you majoring in?"

major? Which department?

Du Wei was a little stunned.

Seeing the embarrassment on Du Wei's face, Old Alley frowned and said, "What about your magic power? When you helped me do the experiment in the afternoon, I could see it a few times.   It can reach about level five.   Considering your Age, is already a rare genius. But the magic level assessment is not just to evaluate the level of magic power. Which department of magic are you best at?"

Du Wei was really in a dilemma.

Now it seems that although his magic power is good, he has very few magic spells. Although he knows quite a few great magicians. Gandalf, Vivienne, Joanna, and even Gargamel the mouse are all pretty good magicians.

But there are not many magic spells that Du Wei knows. Now it seems.  Most commonly used.  They are all the lowest-level superficial magic spells that I learned from Solskjaer's lowest-level first-level magician. For example, the fire ball technique of the fire element, the lowest level of the wind blade of the wind element...

Not to mention advanced magic.  Not even an intermediate spell!

Hmm... Vivian taught herself a few powerful advanced magic spells, but with her current magic power, she absolutely couldn't cast them.

As for star magic... that thing is invisible, and I haven't learned it yet.

Thinking of this, Du Wei smiled wryly: "I seem to only know one or two low-level spells of the fire and wind elements, and I can't even talk about being good at a certain element.   Oh, by the way, I can also spell a little bit of transformation , does this count?".

"What?" Aili Ke's eyes widened: "You said you... have only learned such a small amount of spells?"

Du Wei smiled bitterly: "The time I have been with Mr. Gandolf is too short, and he hasn't had time to teach me anything.

Just a few slightly advanced transfiguration spells, which were forcibly borrowed from Gargamel. However, Gargamel also abides by the rules of the magic union. Unless Du Wei worships him as a teacher, it is absolutely impossible to teach the magic spells he is good at. It is already very rare for Du Wei to apply a few low-level spells.

"It seems that your situation is more complicated. " Ailike pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "Boy, I want to remind you of one thing. You must first clarify your ambitions. Because no matter how clever and talented a magician is, It is also impossible to be proficient in all departments of magic! Magic is profound and complex, far beyond what you can imagine. No one who can become an ordinary magician is an idiot! However, no matter how smart a person is, with a lifetime of energy, If you can be proficient in one line of magic, you can already become a top magician on the mainland! Although you are smart, you must also understand the principle of being greedy and not bad! You'd better choose a direction of your major.   Put your energy on Only one thing can achieve something... Alas, it’s a pity that I can’t teach you any real spells yet.   However, if you have some other problems, you can come to me anyway.  ”

After finishing speaking, Eric opened his skirt, and removed a small pendant around his neck from it.  This is a diamond-shaped red crystal.

"This is the key to my place, you take this thing with you.   You can enter and leave my laboratory at will, and the magic circles I set up will not stop you.   If you have any questions, you can also borrow my laboratory, here You can use whatever you want. ”

Du Wei accepted it gratefully, and then Eric waved his hand: "Go. "

When Du Wei walked out of the room, Aili Ke waved his hand, and a burst of cold air shot out from his sleeve. After extinguishing the flame on the melting furnace that was burning on the metal table in front of him, he frowned and thought, and couldn't help saying to himself: "Strange... This kid has good magic power, but he knows too little magic.  Yago said As the chairman, how could such a smart old guy not try his skills before the assessment? With such a hasty assessment, if he fails to pass, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for Gandolf? Hmm. I don’t know what the chairman is thinking. ”

※#8226;

Du Wei walked out of the tower, still full of emotion in his heart. In the past, I was really a little ignorant. I thought that after reading those books, I thought magic was a simple thing. Today, I studied with Allike for a day, and most of the things the old monster said, let alone understood, I just hadn’t heard of them.

It seems that he will have to restrain his mind in the future.  A lot of research is the truth.

Just as he was thinking, a soft sound came from behind him. Du Wei turned around and saw a flame flashing through the door under the tower, which was the light of the activation of the teleportation magic circle in the tower.

Then, a person came out from the tower.

Du Wei was taken aback.

The man looked only in his twenties. The strange thing is that in this magic union, even the sweepers wear silver magic apprentice robes.  But this guy is wearing an exquisite aristocratic dress. A luxurious robe with rusted gold trim.  Even the sleeves and neckline have wavy lace. It is the most popular style in the aristocratic circle this year.

The man came slowly.  Du Wei gradually saw his appearance clearly.  This guy is about early twenties, with a face. The skin is exactly the kind of pale skin that nobles yearn for most, looks slender and delicate, has long golden hair, a high nose bridge, and a pair of sapphire-like eyes with clear eyes. He is really a rare handsome man.  Walking, neither fast nor slow, with a faint awe-inspiring aura, it can be seen that he has received extremely strict etiquette training since childhood!

Seeing Du Wei, the young man was startled for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face. His smile is very beautiful, with such a smile, it feels like the earth is warm in spring, and it can't help but make people feel a little warm.

"Ah! Your Excellency the magician in front.  Ah, you are wearing the robe of a magician. Judging by your age, I guess you must be the youngest magician in the magic guild, Mr. Duvey Rollins. Is that right?" He walked in front of Du Wei, his sapphire-like eyes showed an irresistible kindness: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Chen.   Chen-Augustin, yes My full name. Nice to meet you, Mr. Duverollin. ”

As he spoke, he nodded slightly, with an elegant posture, and even Du Wei, who was born in a wealthy family, couldn't help admiring that the other party's movements were of the same standard.

Wait... Augustine?

Du Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young noble in front of him: "You...are you from the royal family?"

The young man named Chen-Augustin smiled: "Exactly, the current Emperor, is my father. "

Prince?

How could a prince appear in the inner core of the Magic Union?
