Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 370 Hard Times
66 King Street, in the alchemy room.

Heat waves rolled and red light flashed.

Roy placed the alchemical cauldron into the fiery furnace formed by the witch formation.

This honest cauldron, which originated from a magical alchemical tool, is operating diligently, and a high-temperature glow is radiating from its surface.

When the critical moment arrived, Roy opened the cover and looked at the boiling copper liquid inside.

The slurry, which looked like volcanic lava but had a beautiful golden texture, was already filled with the power of the fire element.

"Add some star silver powder, three parts sulfur, and a spoonful of mercury..."

Roy kept in mind the mysterious knowledge he learned from the [Sulfur and Mercury Theory] and adjusted the sulfur and mercury ratio of this "Zabir Magic Gold".

Adding sugar is not popular these days...

According to the worldview of the [sulfur-mercury theory], all metals are composed of two substances, sulfur and mercury, but the proportions are different.

In the future, when we delve deeper into the [Sulphur Mercury Salt Theory], we will also add "salt"...

This is somewhat similar to the so-called soul formula, the key lies in the control of details.

A faint golden light flickered in Roy's eyes, once again revealing the effect of his origin-level alchemy talent, the [Eye of Hermes].

He can easily determine whether the properties of the copper liquid meet the required proportions.

While others were completely blind, he opened his eyes wide and saw everything clearly...

The difficulty is naturally incomparable.

Suddenly, Roy keenly sensed the opportunity and immediately cut off the supply of witchcraft energy in the witch circle.

The cauldron suddenly vibrated, and spider-web-like silver lines appeared on the surface of the liquid copper, followed by a rapid turn of red.

This turned into a blood-like pattern like capillaries.

The molten copper also quickly dimmed and turned into a bright red color.

"It's done!"

Roy looked at the results with a little joy.

He beckoned.

A pair of tongs came leaping over of its own accord and placed the handle into his palm.

Roy used the tongs to pick up the copper ingot, which was like a branding iron, and placed it on the heavy anvil made of obsidian.

After a moment, he picked up the heavy hammer beside him...

boom!
Sparks fly!

But Huotong remained motionless!

"Not bad!"

Feeling the feedback force, Roy showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

This is one of the metallic properties of fire copper. Under normal conditions, it has a strength of more than 55% of star iron.

This data is actually quite good, better than most witchcraft materials!
Roy used [Bloodline Awakening] and suddenly increased the force of the hammering, and the copper ingot finally began to deform.

However, not long after, Roy activated the magic circle next to him, and laser-like hot rays shone on it, rapidly changing the temperature of the material.

The capillary-like lines densely covering the surface of the fire copper suddenly came alive.

Crimson streams of light surged across its surface, and the spectrum projected by the Eye of Hermes and the gaseous magic crystal presented a soft green glow and a crimson flame halo respectively.

Roy watched with satisfaction as it seemed to be infused with the energy of "activation" and began to correct itself and recover.

The distortion and deformation caused by the blow just now completely disappeared!

"Fire Copper is a special type of magic metal that has a very high affinity with the fire element, possessing fire-absorbing properties similar to that of Flame-Rich Iron. Furthermore, while its physical strength is only about 55% of Star Iron's, it's still quite good..."

After the inspection, Roy roughly verified the theoretical knowledge in his mind.

"Then there's the memory metal-like self-recovery properties we just measured!
The quality has also reached above level one, so it can be understood as a special item with an 'inherent multiplier' of 4 times!"

Although this has not been measured yet, Roy already knows that if special methods are used to stimulate the enchantment efficiency, it may be possible to reach 6 to 8 times or more.

When the energy storage limit and output power remain unchanged, the attack power stimulated by the first-level elemental gem can at least reach 60~80 degrees!
Then, through the leveraging of natural mana, the rules are amplified...

That would require the magic power to be converted to more than 200 or 300 degrees!
A first-level wizard casts a spell himself...

That’s the level!
Without considering other things, this improvement alone is enough to highlight the importance of special materials!
“When I first integrated the power of fire into Bloodhoof Kairon, I also considered using a similar method to enhance the fire-attributed enchantment ability.

But in the end, due to material problems, we could only give it a simple blessing.

However, if we can successfully change the entire material to fire copper, the effect will definitely be greatly improved!"

……

For the next period of time, Roy continued to refine fire copper ingots to stockpile materials for his own fire copper statues.

This piece is not entirely copper, nor does it need to be.

Roy combined biological principles to treat muscles and joints differently, and also changed the skin to star iron.

The fire copper material is needed to lay out the witch formation route, as well as the natural joints and the parts of the enchanted weapons.

Even so, the total material cost is as high as more than 20 magic stones, which is a considerable burden on the personal finances of a first-level wizard.

Fortunately, Roy can refine this kind of thing himself, saving most of the cost.

"By the way, didn't Aliphtia say before that if there are any materials you need, you can ask the organization for help?
Although it doesn't mean that every request can be granted, the basic materials should still be reimbursed, right?

Fire copper is a precious material...

Although the preparation of Zabir Magic Gold is not a top-level secret technique, it is still a good thing.

But I can make these myself, so there is no need to reimburse them.

If you want reimbursement, reimburse the divine materials and finished holy relics, which are difficult for low-level wizards to obtain!
Even, take the opportunity to get some with the source of talent!
but……

How can we maximize our benefits?”

Roy didn't figure this out for a moment, so he decided not to speak to the organization about it.

During this period, Sister Windsorbell still came to Roy from time to time to keep in touch.

Roy learned from her about the current situation among the people.

"I heard someone in the South invented an automatic loom, and farmers are clamoring to raise sheep. More and more farmers are losing their land...

However, the city hall has just issued a new recruitment order, organizing manpower to collect refugees and provide them with jobs...

Things will definitely get better gradually!"

Another day, Sister Windsorbell told Roy about the news she had recently learned.

In fact, Roy had already seen it in the newspaper, but he still acted as a loyal listener.

After that, it was the usual fundraising session.

Roy never refuses such things. At least he has seen with his own eyes that most of the charity money goes to people in need.

He thought about it and tentatively took out the holy emblem he had refined last year.

"A little gift for you..."
