Nearly two weeks have passed since the last time the people from the tower left.

To be precise, Fang Plover has been alone in this white wilderness for one hundred and forty hours, fifty-three minutes and seventeen seconds - he was gently closing the cover of his pocket watch and raised his head to look.

Looking at this endless world, I sighed deeply.

Or it can be said to be two people: him and Miss Tata.

On the first day of every month in the world behind the door, the tower guard will return to this place to check the progress of his study. But usually, it doesn't take that long, because Fang Plover can always complete the task ahead of schedule.

In the first month, he first learned the formation-carving technique of the Numelin elves. At that time, it only took him ten days to complete the task - of course, this was related to his outstanding attainments in multiple parallelism.

The elven alchemists of the Numerin era did not need special tools, but injected magic power into the magic weapon to directly form spell patterns. This was their carving method.

Originally, this was a task that mortals without magic abilities could never accomplish. But in the ancient times, the alchemists of the previous generations tried to learn this skill through imitation. Their idea was to use formation carvings - first with

The alchemy circle simulates the spells of the elves, and then uses the spells to carve marks on the magic weapon.

But this is undoubtedly a matter of getting twice the result with half the effort, because the elves have a total of 1,600 carving techniques for different magic circles, and even the most commonly used ones, there are more than 400. Even if the alchemy array that simulates these spells is first disassembled into

Single words can be combined temporarily, and mortal alchemists must prepare at least 144 single words - this does not include repeated ones.

The earliest mortal alchemists used pre-prepared crystals to store these words. When they needed to be used, they inserted the crystals into the magic furnace, and then activated the words and runes in different crystals to form a magic circle.

Simulate spells.

Then use magic to carve marks on the magic device.

The only advantage of doing this is that it can form an array out of thin air, and there are almost no requirements for tools and venues. But the complication is that each alchemist has to carry a large amount of array crystals - not only when simulating spells, but also when simulating spells.

You need to prepare a few more pieces for repeated words, and at the same time, you need to prevent the crystal magic power from being exhausted.

What's even more troublesome is that this also involves the alchemist who is not calm enough when forming a formation, and may take or lose the wrong link, and a mistake in one link will lead to the failure of the link. Relatively speaking,

The Numerin elves who use spells directly do not have this problem at all.

The alchemy of the Numerin elves was already complicated, and the use of such a system made it even more complicated. Therefore, within a century, this method completely disappeared from history.

Later, people used the method of pre-engraving magic circles on the control gloves, allowing alchemists to use gestures instead of strokes - in this way, it was naturally a lot better than the earlier method. But for mortal alchemists, it was still

Multiple magic circles need to be stacked up in an instant (simulating spells requires multiple alchemy magic circles in parallel, and then the spell patterns are carved out through spells).

And even in that era when alchemy was very popular, there were actually very few people who could do it.

Moreover, in this era when technology was born, the civilianization of alchemy was already being promoted. Against the background of the separation of combat craftsmen and production alchemists, and in the face of the huge scale effects brought about by the change, the latter also seemed out of date.

After that, modern alchemy took a completely different path.

Over time, mortals were no longer so enthusiastic about the carving technology of the Numelin era. Humans, dwarves, and other descendants of elves began to develop their own unique alchemy, and this ancient research was gradually shelved.

gradually forgotten by people.

It was just the predecessor of this technology, and later it became the beginning of the profession of mortal magician. It can be regarded as an unintentional one.

However, of course the earlier technology has not completely disappeared. In fact, relevant records and documents still exist in the Silver Tower, and there are even some Silver Tower craftsmen and scholars who are exploring and researching in this field - this is also the reason for An

Lowther's original words.

As for the carving technique he gave Fang Plover, it was of course an improved carving technique.

In fact, the difficulty of this technology is not only to memorize a large number of single formations and formulas that have never been heard of before, but the biggest requirement is the extreme requirements for stability, accuracy and speed.

After all, multiple magic circles must be drawn in an instant without any mistakes. As we all know, the larger the system, the worse the reliability. As long as there is a mistake in any of these magic circles, the entire notch will be damaged.

The process failed - even causing the magic guide to be scrapped.

Its extreme requirements for accuracy are natural.

It's just that these requirements are also reflected in multiple parallelism, especially in terms of stability and accuracy. Multi-line connections at structural points are one of the most basic requirements. As for speed, everyone has a different opinion.

In fact, Fang Plover didn't understand why Anlose said that multiple parallelism is an introductory skill to Elf Alchemy until now, because the two are related to each other.

And precisely because of this, Fang Plover, who has deep research and experience in multiple parallelism, naturally has an inherent advantage, and coupled with his memory, he is actually not too bad - after all, he has learned so many things in the community.

, which was rarely forgotten later.

All these factors allowed him to learn this skill with twice the result with half the effort, and it only took him ten days to complete the task.

As for the third and fourth skills, they are both related to material purification. For those who have not mastered the carving technique, the latter two may be like reading a book from heaven. But for Fang Plover who has mastered the carving technique, it is actually just

It's not that difficult, it's just a practical way of using the scar technique.

So it took them half a month to pass the test.

The fifth skill is ‘multiple structures’.

Of course, the elven alchemists of the Numerin era would not assemble the parts of the magic device one by one like the contemporary mortal alchemists, and let the accuracy of the assembly process greatly affect the ability of the magic device.

.

In fact, the alchemy skills of the elves are all formed in one piece, and after being refined, they will directly take the finished form.

Just like the scene Anloser showed him before.

Speaking of this skill, it is not impossible for mortals to complete it with the help of the magic furnace. Some top craftsmen also master similar skills. But for ordinary alchemists, the casting and refining of single parts alone

It is complex enough, especially for some materials with high quality and complex structure. From the view of the magic furnace - its structural point is already a vast starry sky.

What's more, it is made of multiple parts and materials of different materials. Without certain experience, just relying on calculations will kill most alchemists.

It also took a lot of time for Fang Plover to learn this skill.

After all, according to Anlose, this was the first 'advanced skill' he came into contact with among the ten ancient skills. But even for the advanced skill, he still only took twenty-seven days to complete it, including

The total rest period for the five skills did not exceed three months.

It was this 'element screening' that finally gave him trouble.

According to Anlose, element screening requires sensing elements first - although it does not necessarily specify which type of element, at least there must be one type of element attribute.

"Although such a skill is an advanced skill," Anloser looked at Fang Plover, who had an unsightly expression, and said with rare relief: "But it shouldn't be too difficult for you, starting from the ether, looking for

Elemental structure, to put it bluntly, actually relies on calculation and analysis.”

Generally speaking, this is indeed the case, but when the tower guard said these words, he obviously forgot that there is another kind of people in this world.

This type of person is called elementless adaptive person.

And Fang Plover is obviously one of them.

In fact, when Fang Plover heard this topic, his heart was already half cold. Of course, he knew best what his situation was. The reason why he was able to become a combat craftsman was not because of any elemental aptitude, but simply because of Hain.

-It's just Pham's legacy.

He is a stowaway, not in tune with the glow.

There is also no elemental suitability.

Of course, with a sense of luck, he still tried it once or twice, but the result was not beyond his expectation.

But simply giving up was obviously not in Fang Plover's dictionary. After that, he tried various methods.

Even Fang Yu can't remember how many times he has meditated into the etheric world - his etheric world is a mesh world - but the etheric magic is only the upper structure of this world, and he still needs to continue to go down to find more details about this world.

Basic composition.

element.

The magic circle in his hand once again shone with a faint golden light, but after a bright flash, when Fang Pliong opened his eyes again and looked at the empty palms, he couldn't help but sigh - he failed again.

He didn't even remember how many times this had failed.

Half of the one-month deadline has passed (a twelve-hour day in the world behind the door), but he still doesn't have a clue.

On the side, Tata was powerless to intervene and could only look at his knight with some worry.

"Maybe take a break, Ed?" she asked softly.

Fang Yu was stunned. Miss Tata rarely called him by his name directly.

But he saw the worry in his Miss Dragon Soul's eyes, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and replied: "Don't worry, Miss Tata, I understand." He will naturally try his best, but it does not mean that he will also.

Therefore, the alchemy of the Numerin elves may have some merits, but it does not mean that it is the absolute truth.

Otherwise, the alchemy of contemporary mortals would not have been born.

It's good to have him, but it's actually acceptable without him. As for trying every possibility, it's just Fang Plover's inherent habit.

He sat down and shared a small piece of biscuit with Miss Tata - this afternoon break seemed to have become a silent understanding between the two. However, Tata still felt a little uneasy as she held the biscuit in both hands.

, just raised his head and looked at him steadily.

Fang Yu turned around and was slightly startled by the twinkling stars in Miss Fairy's eyes.

He wanted to ask something, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered the days when he was studying alchemy in Kapka - the little light in Miss Tata's eyes seemed to be like the stars shining in this world.

In Aitalia, the twinkling stars make up everything——

It's just that starlight does not constitute matter itself.

But when these high-dimensional information passes through the sea of ​​ether, it shows different attributes. The ether is like the underlying code, sorting the stars into different formats - so the stars under different numbers,

It forms the foundation of this world.

That's the element.
