"Alchemist?"
The crackling sound when the potions were mixed together echoed in the scene in this room, and magical radiance like electric currents began to shine in front of Black Corn and the others. He and the three or two teammates around him He stared at every movement in the direction of the small wooden box for a moment, and after a while, he asked in a low voice in another blue-purple light: "What does alchemist mean?"
"Alchemist is one of my professions." Still still rapidly operating the potion bottles in front of him, Duan Qing replied without raising his head: "What, is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem." Black Corn raised his voice: "What are you going to do? Do you want to violently break the mechanism on this wooden box? Be careful, if you accidentally break this box..."
"If you don't want me to accidentally destroy this wooden box, then don't say a few words." Duan Qing, who was still staring closely in front of him, wrinkled his eyebrows: "It will distract me."
"……whispering sound."
He spat in a low voice. The black corn with his hands on the table did not say his next words for a long time. His motionless appearance and eyes staring at the magic brilliance remained in place, as if by default. Duan Qing is trying to do something. Colorful magical reactions then appeared around the wooden box all the time, accompanied by the harsh crackling sounds made when the magic attached to the wooden box intertwined and collided, and the hands were intertwined. The movements of Duan Qing's fingertips around those crackling currents became faster and faster, and finally turned into a blur that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye: "One layer of elemental locks, two layers of elemental locks... tsk tsk tsk, it's actually still..." Two layers of crystallization arrays were added, and they were covered up with illusion magic..."
"Hey!" Black Corn, who was about to scream just now, lowered his voice: "You...what are you talking about? Can you say something we can understand?"
"You don't understand it anyway, so just sit there and listen."
There was an imperceptible light in his eyes, and the expression on Duan Qing's face, who kept mixing the potion on the surface of the wooden box, became more and more serious: "The restrictions are on the earth element and water element, which shows that the maker deliberately The magic circle was strengthened, but the fire element was released... It should have been installed with a setting similar to self-destruction, so it is not afraid of the violent entry of the fire element."
"……maker?"
"It's really hard to deal with."
He took out a bottle of transparent potion from his arms again. Duan Qing quickly poured it on the surface of the wooden box. Then, before the wooden box was about to turn red, he poured out the potions attached to it. All the colorful potions were washed away. The squeaking sound was accompanied by the unique sparks when magic jumped, and then rushed on the surface of the wooden table. In an instant, the smoke of various colors corroded holes of different sizes, ignoring these. Duan Qing then stretched out his hands that had been soaked in the bottle of transparent potion, and slowly placed the wooden box in the center of the holes: "I did it deliberately for a certain purpose... you can be considered the underdogs." All the capital was lost.”
"Bullshit, nonsense." Black Corn, who didn't care about the loss of tables and chairs, immediately shouted: "This is a relic from the ancient magic empire! You are a little magician and alchemist..."
"I'm not talking about you, and this isn't some ancient relic."
He raised his hand to interrupt the other party's words. Duan Qing, who was looking at the wooden box in his hand, slowly raised it into the air: "Based on my superficial knowledge of magic, the magic blockade attached to it only existed in modern times. Although the magic technology is not as perfect and generous as those from the ancient magic empire, it is more than enough to disgust people."
"Recent, modern magic technology?" Amid everyone's shocked reactions, the player named Walnut Rakshasa was the first to ask: "How can a relic from the ancient Magic Empire have modern magic technology? ……ah!"
"Yes, it's what you think."
Weighing the small wooden box with a simple shape up and down, Duan Qing commented in a low voice: "Let you think this is a relic of the ancient magic empire, and then use the attraction of the ancient magic empire to lead you to those relics...anyway You people know very little about magic in the free world, so you can easily be fooled."
"Tsk, damn it." The man with a long knife named Black Corn lowered his head and stamped his feet: "Are those magic mechanisms also fake?"
"I can't say that. Maybe there are other treasures hidden inside." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "Or is there really a secret key to unlocking this box?"
"So what if it's unlocked? Is there really any ancient hidden object inside?"
"I don't rule out this possibility. Maybe someone among the later nobles of the empire obtained some treasure and then sealed it using their own means..."
"I've long thought that employer was suspicious."
Before Duan Qing could finish his guess, Heimai, who was sitting across from him, slapped the table with his hand: "I won't give you any money for finding the wooden box. You insist on asking us to unlock the magic of this wooden box again." The mechanism... hmm, maybe the purpose of that anonymous person is not to obtain the things here at all, but to obtain other treasures in the ruins."
"Then, why are you using such an excuse? Why don't you just tell us to crack the hidden passages that have not yet been opened in the ruins?"
"Maybe it's to hide others' eyes and ears, to prevent us from discovering some secrets..."
"It may also be some kind of teleportation anchor point. After we find a certain place, it will be suddenly activated and teleported to us instantly."
"Why didn't you say it was just a bomb, used to silence people?"
"You can't speak too early."
Raising his hand to interrupt the murmurs of several players around him, the man with the long knife named Black Corn stood up again. His eyes that had been staring at the wooden box then moved up, and finally placed it on the box. Duan Qing's face said: "After all, we only know that this wooden box is not a product of ancient times. Everything else... is not certain now."
"Are you doubting my conclusion?" Duan Qing raised his hand with a smile, and then Duan Qing, who had been silent, raised the wooden box in front of the other party: "If you don't believe it, you can take it to other places for identification. "
"No need, I believe you for the time being." He scratched his head helplessly, and Black Corn finally dispelled the doubtful look from his face: "But the problem is...there is something on this wooden box. There are still many doubts.”
"Oh? Then what do you think we should do?"
"This wooden box... can you still open it now?"
He said this slowly, and grinned, braving the surprised looks of his companions around him: "Can you do it?"
"Even now, you still want to know what's in this?"
Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Duan Qing asked in a low voice: "What's the use of knowing it?"
"God knows what it's for, maybe it's just an empty box." Black Corn shrugged his shoulders: "But I just want to know, how is it?"
"..."
"What, you're not saying you can't open it at this time, are you?" Looking at Duan Qing's silence again, Black Corn sneered and picked up the long knife in front of him: "You've been pretending to be cool for so long. …”
"Don't underestimate the power of alchemy."
Duan Qing wiped his chin with a strange smile on his face and then spread his hands to both sides: "It's just... I haven't fully analyzed the composition of all magic seals. I want to break the magic circles that I have discovered. ——”
"how?"
Pouring his lips, Black Corn finally answered Duan Qing's deliberately drawn-out words: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Purple goldenrod, ice orchid, leaves of the Shaker tree, and two turtle shells from the ancestor tortoise."
He quickly reported the names of several materials, and Duan Qing's eyes brought an inexplicable smile: "If possible, it is best to bring a few of each type of elemental stone. The more the better. .”
"Holy crap, what do you think this is? A grocery store?" Black Corn stared and shouted, "Forget about the elemental stones, what are those inexplicable medicinal materials?"
"Don't try to show off your poor face. Ordinary guilds are just fine. Adventure groups that can easily promise five thousand gold coins... these things are still ignored." Duan Qing replied with a smile: " Anyway, isn't it just to solve the problem of this wooden box that you invited me here? If you don't pay anything..."
"How can you easily get the effect you want?"
The silence lasted for a moment as Duan Qing's words came to light. Accompanied by the eyes of the two men standing in the center of the room, they stared at each other for a while and then lowered their voices. He tilted his head with a smile and curled his lips to the side without turning his head: "...Wutao."
"In the."
"Go and solve this problem for this alchemist."
"……OK."
The sound of rapid footsteps gradually moved away from the room as the three or two players surrounding Duan Qing turned around, and finally disappeared with the movement of Walnut Rakshasa who was left at the end turning around, and the black corn remained unchanged. In his field of vision, the dusk from the free world gradually fell into the urban area of Tanzania with the silent confrontation between the two people present. The boring feeling caused by the passage of time finally changed with the return of several people sent by Black Corn. At the same time, more and more alchemical materials were piled around the gray-robed magician. Duan Qing, who folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest, didn't make any unnecessary reactions. It wasn't until the sunlight from the outside gradually began to fade that he slowly opened his eyes: "That's almost it."
"All the materials you want are here." Black Corn, who was still sitting across from him, also laughed softly: "Purple golden flower, ice orchid grass, leaves of Shaker tree, two turtle shells of the ancestor turtle...other than that In addition, we have also given away a dozen elemental crystals. If these things are not enough to meet your needs, please unlock the seal on the wooden box for me..."
"You don't need to remind me." Duan Qing, who stretched out his hand, interrupted: "I know the rules."
"Then..." Black Corn, whose expression turned gloomy, grinned: "Please start your performance."
Without saying any more unnecessary words, Duan Qing, who stretched out his hands, slowly placed the empty bottles in front of him. His face gradually became serious, and his face turned khaki as yellow tracks appeared in front of him. The small wall condensed on the table in front of me: "...don't be nervous, this is just a temporary alchemy platform I built."
"Earth magician?" Black Corn raised his eyebrows: "Please do so."
"There may be some noise next, so please be patient."
Placing the wooden box in his hand on the alchemy table supported by the earth wall, Duan Qing reached into his arms and then sprinkled a bottle of light yellow potion around the earth wall: "My magic level cannot convert this The temporary alchemy platform lasts until the experiment is completed, so it needs to be reinforced with elements, and then..."
"Let's begin." He showed his white teeth, and then poured another bottle of potion in his hand directly on the surface of the wooden box: "Magic amplification!"
"Hey you--"
The suddenly loud roar of magic interrupted the warning that Black Corn was about to blurt out. At the same time, there was a cracking sound when the magic lines on the surface of the wooden box suddenly expanded. , the wooden box placed in the center of the earth wall by Duan Qing, the large swaths of brilliant colors that were constantly shining on the surface gradually expanded with the expansion of these magic lines, and finally formed the appearance of magic arrays composed of circuits. . A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Duan Qing, who stood with his hands in the air, quickly swayed out another fiery red potion, and then the bottle of potion came into contact with a blue node in the magic circle surrounding the surface of the wooden box. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pulled a purple herb beside him: "Don't panic, the confinement circle will restrict the use of their own power. As long as the amount is appropriate, the contraction and expansion will eventually reach a balance somewhere. "
"Just like what you see now." He pointed to the violent reaction caused by the violent collision between the bottle of red potion and the blue node, and then sprinkled the melted purple powder in his hand: "Just zoom in With this magic circle, even alchemy can dismantle it one by one."
"Hey, hey!" In the constantly echoing buzz of magic, Black Corn pointed there with all his strength and shouted: "It, it's going to explode!"
"Don't worry, as an alchemist, how could such a result be unexpected?"
With his left hand, he quickly applied a bottle of gray viscous potion on the rough and uneven surface of the turtle shell. Duan Qing then pressed it hard before the violent reaction of light was about to erupt: "Normal alchemy. It’s impossible to handle such a violent reaction, but..."
"If it's my kind of simple method, this kind of energy response is just right."
The strong light was then covered up by the huge turtle shell, and the fusion of red and blue began to penetrate along the surface of the turtle shell. Duan Qing, who had a confident smile on his face, then twisted out streaks of green with his hands. The silk thread introduced the unstable energy that was about to explode together with the turtle shell that shattered into powder into a certain empty bottle that had been prepared aside.
