Bunji is a very rare player among the orcs who has some magic talent, but he is only at the second level and cannot reach the level of a mage.
The level of magic is not high, and it does not affect the alchemy attainments. In fact, since the alchemist profession was created, there has not been a high-level alchemist who is also the sixth level of the archmage, because the energy is not allowed to develop deeply in two directions at the same time.
There is no serious alchemy rating agency in the penal colony, and the boundaries of alchemists are not as obvious as those of mages. Bang Ji is a high-level alchemist, but not many people know about it. Olan, who once taught him some magic, is one of them. .
After Olan's introduction, Bunky and Liv greeted each other with their own etiquette.
Bunji didn't pay much attention to these things. After greeting him, he called Olan: "It's going to be the critical stage soon. Do you want to watch it?"
Oran still remembered Liv: "Teacher, come up and join us. He is refining silver powder. It should actually be called aluminum."
"Aluminum?" Liv was also a little curious and followed him upstairs.
The large workbench in the center of the house on the second floor has many appliances on it. Among them are several boxes the size of heads being heated. The meager amount of liquid inside is in an incandescent state and the temperature is slightly higher.
Olan pointed to the objects beside several containers and introduced them to Liv: "Teacher, this is the surprise I am talking about. The transparent one is an artificial gemstone. In fact, we have seen the other two, slime glue and magic clay. The box It's them that's heating up inside."
Olan ignored some parts, leaving only the details for surprises.
Liv has lived for more than seven hundred years, but she has never connected these three things together. After all, there are thousands of magic materials, and the effective combinations are almost infinite.
"Want to mix?" Liv asked?
This time it was Bunky who explained: "No, I'm going to shock them and you're going to see amazing things."
Bunky took out a small object that seemed to be measuring the temperature, then took out another device to let Liv see what the bottom looked like, and then placed it on top of the solution.
Liv immediately felt an electric current inside.
The other two boxes were operated in the same way. The difference was that the temperatures of several solutions were different, and one box had a pungent smell.
The energizing device was not big, and Bunky didn't have the magic power to maintain it on his own. After about two minutes, the current weakened, and Bunky took out the cap. The solution inside was much less, from the size of a quail egg to the size of a peanut.
By the time he finished working on several boxes, the first one to open the lid had cooled down and turned into a silvery metal shape.
There is no need to explain anymore at this time, because there is very little material and the cooling is very fast. The final contents in the three boxes are the same!
Liv scanned it with her mage's eye and found no difference: "So this metal is extracted from the following three substances?"
"Yes." Bunji was very proud. Although the process seemed to be similar, there were actually three preparation methods used. Success all at once was not something that just any alchemist could do.
Olan then explained the cause and effect:
"When the contact person brought the samples, he called them aluminum oxide. After experiments, I found that they corresponded to gems, slime glue and magic clay. There was doubt that they were the same thing, so I packed them and sent them to Bunki checked and came directly after the results of his experiment. He thought these powders were easier to extract aluminum than the magic clay on the market, and he hoped to buy some back."
Bunji nodded beside him: "Yes, Master Liv may not be aware that aluminum is now much more expensive than gold on the market. If pure powder is really produced here without magicians and alchemists, , the price should not be expensive, and I hope to obtain a certain amount of aluminum for some alchemical experiments."
Liv's eyes moved between the leopard men and the disciples, knowing in her heart that they were already relying on Phoenix City. Not to mention that the risks were still unknown, it would be difficult to persuade them to leave even if the war had already started.
After releasing the space spell seal, a medium-sized wooden box appeared next to her. The mage's hand carried the box and placed it on the table.
"This is what you want, there is no second thing. Also, try to live as long as possible."
"I'll be careful, teacher."
Be careful not to get nervous here.
Looking at Oran and Bunky with glowing eyes, Liv knew that they were still too young and had not seen the horror of the God War.
But she could understand their situation very well. The discovery of the two, or the knowledge shown to them by the ruler of the dark land, was enough to attract them to step down, at least for now they could not see the abyss ahead.
Liv herself doesn't want to take risks. She also has questions she wants to know the answers to. Regarding the secrets of the God War, she must not let herself fall into danger before the conditions are ripe.
Before leaving, give the small house to Oran again.
She didn't know that without this gift, Olan would have bought a house by himself soon, but it wasn't for his own living.
After watching the teacher leave the city, Olan returned to the shop, took out the ancient secret weapon left by the teacher, and proposed to his friend:
"Bangji, please stay and help me. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make a magic storage device by myself. This ancient secret weapon is a very basic magic storage item. I need you to help me analyze it."
"...Are you mistaken? I am an alchemist, not a magician."
Magician, magician, and alchemist are collectively known as the three major legal professions in the outside world. In fact, only by contacting this level will you know that these are three professions with very low correlation.
A magician is a magician, but a magician is not necessarily a magician. Mage is a profession that studies magic or mysterious energy and uses magic as a tool to utilize energy. The so-called combat spells are only a very small aspect of magic. Most mages should be classified as scholars.
Magicians pay more attention to practicality. Their behavior of learning and researching magic has a more utilitarian purpose. The difference between the two can be regarded as different academic factions. They are often lumped together and no one defends them.
Magicians were originally like sorcerers, a branch of mages who focused more on the research and application of magic instruments. As the times changed, some people who did not have high magical attainments but were better able to use magic items were added. Many of them studied specifically for fighting, and from this, strange magic swordsmen and other magic swordsmen were differentiated. Profession.
Alchemists were also a mage branch in the early days, but just like Bunge, the mage skills of modern alchemists are getting lower and lower, but the results have not been reduced because of this. On the contrary, because the threshold has been lowered, they are everywhere.
In the current era, the three professions are connected into a curve, with alchemists in the middle, mages and magicians further away, but not as far apart as a straight line.
"I want to know what substance attracts magic power. Isn't it the alchemist's task?"
"Why do you think it's not the magic array?"
"My teacher." Olan hesitated a little, but still revealed some information, "According to the current classification method of mages, my teacher was already a sixth-ring mage more than five hundred years ago. This secret weapon was obtained by my teacher It has been more than eighty years since she made a prop with similar functions."
"..."
Bunky never knew this, he had previously called Master Liv purely because she was Oran's teacher.
A mage with at least six rings, even if the magic circle is sandwiched inside, cannot escape the detection of magic means no matter what physical isolation.
Bunji thought for a while and said: "I can stay and help, but I still need a magician. Your secret weapon is too small. Without the help of a magician, I can't guarantee that I can get accurate results before using it up."
"I don't want to tell too many people about the secret weapon. I don't know any magician I can trust, so I can only hire one."
"It doesn't matter. I know a five-star man who I can absolutely trust. As long as you can guarantee to give him a big enough one." Bunji picked up an irregular artificial gemstone that was left after the experiment.
"Then we'll have to wait until the liaison officer comes over to ask."
