Super Dimensional Wizard

Chapter 166

Although alchemy is not part of the Three Major Structures, it is still also part of the mainstream path of Wizards.


Alchemy has many directions. In ancient times, Alchemy Wizards are divided into two categories: “Acting on the Self” and “Borrowing Foreign Influence.” In today’s alchemy world, the cla.s.sification of alchemy is not as obscure as in ancient times. It can directly be divided into pharmaceutics and alchemy inscription.


Pharmaceutics, as its name implies, is based on the refining of pharmaceutical agents. For example, the Cold Night Potion, owned by Angel is made by Alchemy Wizards who are proficient in pharmaceutics. Of course, pharmaceutics is a broad and profound subject. Not simply referring to drinking potions, there are other parts of the branch. Such as Liana’s perfume technique. This also belongs to pharmaceutics.


Alchemy inscriptions are mainly based on the production of alchemy items. David’s Spiral Aircraft belongs to the mechanical branch of alchemy inscription.


The main concept behind alchemy is “transformation.” Both direction of potion and inscription actually revolve around the core concept of “transformation.” So although the two focuses are different. In fact, no matter which one a Wizard dabbles in. They are collectively referred to as Alchemy Wizards.


Although the two have a lot in common, the refining process one goes through is different. The selection of materials also has its own emphasis. So, David has to first ask which direction Angel is going towards before he can prepare the materials.


“Both directions of alchemy test a talent. In terms of economic value. The two are similar, but from a technical point of view. I personally think the direction of inscription is a little more difficult.” Seeing that Angel was slow to speak, David thought he was still hesitating and simply told him what he understood in both directions of alchemy.


Angel: “I’m going in the direction of inscription.”


“Are you certain? Although the potion direction also depends on talent, once you have mastered the preparation of potion refining, you can quickly recover the cost. If you want to recover your cost in inscriptions, it may not be so easy to get back to the original cost in that direction.”


“Certain.” Angel’s choice of alchemy inscription was decided earlier. Although the alchemy books he recorded in the Nightmare Plane both have inscription and potion available, he has no plans to dabble in pharmaceutics at present. Had it not been for the imminent opening time of the Purification Garden. He might have even pushed his alchemy career to a later date.


But times have changed, the Purification Garden stimulated Angel’s motivation. In order to climb to the top of Sky Tower and smoothly get admission for the Purification Garden. Angel can only go sideways and play with the idea of becoming an Alchemy Wizard.


“Well, don’t regret your decision.”


“Regret is not so bad, if alchemy inscription does not work out. I can choose the direction of pharmaceutics again.”


“Then we’re on the same path and can help each other.” David laughed and said.


“I have several books on alchemy inscription here. You can take a look. If you need anything, I’ll go to the warehouse and get it for you. It will definitely be at market price.” David took out thick piles of books and placed them in front of Angel.


< Complete Guide to Magic Metals >, < Atlas of Smelting Materials >, < Collection of Catalytic Materials >…


David brought these dictionary-like books to Angel. In fact, he was also trying to discourage Angel. Although he smiled and explained to Angel. In fact, his heart was not very optimistic about Angel’s fantasy. If they are just friends, David loves being friends with Angel. But when it comes to alchemy, David has his own opinions. He valued alchemy even more than he values himself.


In his mind, alchemy is not something all cats and dogs can dabble in. Angel plunged headfirst into the pit of alchemy while also putting on the appearance of wealth. Made him feel as though this precious art was being desecrated by someone who doesn’t understand it.


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 quant.i.ties 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 att.i.tude, 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 att.i.tude raised envy and jealousy in David’s heart.


At that moment, the two crystal b.a.l.l.s 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 s.p.a.ce 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 pa.s.sed 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 bas.e.m.e.nt. 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 s.p.a.ce 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 bas.e.m.e.nt 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 a.n.a.logous 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 a.n.a.lysis, 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.
