Release that Witch

Camo Stern enters the alchemy workshop.

"Chief instructor," the apprentices saw Kaimo bowing their heads.

He waved his hand, "You continue."

The apprentices regained their bodies and were busy with the work in their hands.

At the outermost part of the workshop is the washing room, where materials from all parts of the Grey Fort are cleaned, sorted, screened and ground. The design of the washing room is also very clever. The slate floor is laid on a small stream, which is used for passage in the middle. It is surrounded by a stream of water, running parallel to the stone road, crossing a wide-armed stream, and the outermost part is the cleaning area. .

At first glance, the long and narrow sorting room is divided into three sections from the longitudinal direction by two streams of water. Light shines through the holes in the windows on both sides of the wall, reflecting the slate ground and the stream of water, forming a long strip of light across the room. Light and dark overlap each other, like a snake's markings.

Nearly a hundred apprentices lean against the wall and process the materials assigned to them. If the removed debris is lighter than water, it can be thrown directly into the stream. If it is heavier than water, it should be packed into the basket, brought out of the washing room and discarded. If you use living water for cleaning, the effect is much better than the stagnant water in the barrel.

They will study here for three to five years, until they are well versed in the sorting and cleaning of all kinds of materials, and they will have the opportunity to be selected by the mentor as disciples to go to the next room.

Kemo walked through the bright and dark spots and walked into the refining room in the core area of ​​the alchemy workshop.

Pushing open the door, the line of sight became suddenly clear. Twelve giant trees from the fascinating forest were used as pillars to prop up this extremely spacious room. The four stone walls are all covered with windows, and even the roof is covered with a patio and shelter, making the room very light. There are six wide wooden tables in the center of the refining room. The table is full of all kinds of alchemy equipment: round bottom bottles, glass cups, balances, medicine pots, stoves, pots... each instructor manages and uses one The table, and he is the chief alchemist of Chishui City, the naturalest is the longest, and the table with the most equipment.

It is always full of chaos and disorder, just like alchemy, mixing all kinds of raw materials, heating, retorting, passing water, burning. Its results are always ever-changing and fascinating.

If you can find a clear direction from these disorderly changes, writing a text is an extremely rare alchemy formula. Anyone who can create an alchemy formula can be called an alchemist. So far, he has summed up more than a dozen alchemy formulas, each of which seems to be a whisper from the gods. Kaimo believes that alchemy develops to a certain extent, not only can separate the source, but even combine everything.

"Chames, how is your snow powder copied?" he asked.

A young man in his twenties walked over and shook his head. "The **** kings of the alchemists must have added other raw materials to the inside. The powder is very finely ground, and there is really no useful thing to separate." ”

He is the youngest alchemist in the alchemy workshop. Generally speaking, it is impossible to create an alchemy formula without long-term accumulation and trial. Sometimes it even needs a little luck. Many people in the workshop have been a disciple for a lifetime, and it is difficult to further the death. Chamez has an extraordinary talent for alchemy. Two years ago, he summed up the practice of retorting green scorpion to obtain acid, which won the unanimous approval of five alchemists. From then on, there was a long table in the refining room.

"Don't worry, take your time." He smiled and patted each other's shoulders to show comfort. After eight years as the chief, Kemer naturally understands the difficulty of finding truth from disorder and chaos. "But I did make a good thing last night. I can give those proud guys a look. Come with me. ""

He walked to his desk and let the two disciples move to the storage box about half a person high. The whole body was made of wrought iron, which was not easy to be stolen and was hard to be destroyed. He took out the key and opened the first floor of the grid, with a small transparent crystal lying in the center of the grid.

"Cut the crystal?" Chamez stood by and carefully pinched it in his hand, looking out at the sunlight outside the window. "No, this is... crystal glass! God! You did it!"

“Yes,” Camo said with a smile. “I really want to see, when the guys saw that their most proud alchemy products were successfully copied by me, what a wonderful expression on the face. ""

Chammes couldn't help but admire the other alchemists, who put down their work and gathered around.

"This is the result of your stay in the middle of the night last night? It's great."

"It's so beautiful, it's just like crystal."

"Congratulations, this way, our Alchemy Square will greatly increase its position in the heart of the Duke."

“How did you make it? Can you listen to it?”

Kemo nodded. "We all know that the composition of glass and river sand is very close. The color of the glass burned by river sand varies from place to place because they contain impurities. Either find ways to remove impurities or find ways to get more Pure sand. Everyone is trying in this direction, and I am the same. The alchemy can be successful, mostly because of an accident. I chose the fine white sand from Liuye Town and the sandstone of the Dragon Ridge... ..."

The crowd surrounded him and listened quietly until he had finished speaking, and the alchemists were all exhaled. "It turns out that you think it is too thoughtful."

Crystal is a rare and expensive gem, and colorless and transparent crystals are rare. Only the most clean and translucent glass can be called crystal glass. The Wangdu Alchemy Association relies on this product to steadily overtake the Chishui City Alchemy Square. The Golden Dragon earned every year is the envy of the Duke of Chishui City. .

Today, this situation will soon change. If Chammes can understand the composition of the snow powder, plus the double stone acid method, they will completely surpass the Wangdu Alchemy Association. At that time, those who only use the chin to see people, I am afraid they have to lower their cock. The head of the head. Thinking of this, Kemer Stern's mood is more pleasant.

Just as he was preparing to screen the raw materials of the second batch of crystal glass, a disciple walked up to him in a hurry. "The chief tutor is an adult. There is a messenger from the border town of West Border who wants to see you. He brought the four princes. Roland Wimbledon's letter."

"Four princes?" Kaimo frowned and thought, it seems that there is such a person in the gray castle royal family. He knows very little about the things between the nobles. In the impression, these people are both ignorant and ignorant, and they only fight for power and wealth. "What is he looking for?"

"I don't know, the messenger said that as long as you read the letter, you will naturally understand the meaning of Your Highness."

"..." The chief alchemist showed a very impatient look. The content of the letter must not be a heavy fund to recruit himself, or a reprimand of alchemy is a demon trick. However, since the other party is a prince, the basic etiquette is still to be maintained. "Take me to see him, let me get it if I get the letter!"

"Yes, the chief instructor is an adult." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read.)
