Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 43: Sulfur-Mercury Theory
Feeling the fatal attack on his body, the Murloc Lord widened his eyes.

But it can still move.

To Roy's shock, the fishman lord raised his bloody left hand, and his red eyeballs stared at him intently, like a living thing.

His scalp was numb, and he felt as if he was being pulled by an inexplicable force, with a slight stinging pain between his eyebrows.

He quickly drew his sword, jumped off his horse, and slashed at the eye.

The Murloc Lord dodged, and blood splattered as a wound appeared on his arm.

It was thoroughly enraged.

Magic power surged, eyeballs widened, and white light gathered.

It seemed that the power of thunder was about to turn into a lightning beam and strike again.

Roy suddenly made a feint with his sword, and the hair on the back of his head grew wildly, tightly wrapping around the opponent.

The thick hair is as tough as iron wire. After absorbing the characteristics of Aquinas' magic gold, the hair has begun to take on the properties of gold and iron.

It was actually wrapped into an iron cocoon, forming a conductive cage again.

Lightning struck, and the powerful electric current made Roy and the Murloc Lord himself numb.

But in the end, Roy recovered first and swung the sword in his hand repeatedly.

Perhaps the Murloc Lord was paralyzed by his own lightning bolt, or perhaps he was affected by the Curse of the Orchard and had no power to resist.

Soon he was wounded several times and bleeding profusely.

But even so, it still didn't fall!

This incredibly strong vitality is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"I just don't believe you can be more resistant to killing than a cockroach!"

Roy gritted his teeth, swung the iron sword in his hand, leaving an afterimage, and slashed a few more times.

He had to admit that his martial arts skills were terrible.

He had only strengthened his physical body and transformed his wizard body, and had not received any training like regular knights, so many of his skills could not be used.

It is even impossible to strike the same spot with several consecutive sword strikes to speed up the process of breaking the protection of the fish scales, the natural armor.

But he knew clearly that great force can produce miracles!

After possessing Neanderthal blood, his physical strength increased dramatically, and there was no need to worry about so many things anymore.

After many chops, the Murloc Lord's body was covered with scars, his flesh and blood were blurred, and the fishy-smelling Murloc blood was spilled everywhere.

Finally, Roy seized the opportunity and stabbed it through the chest with his sword.

This tenacious mutant monster finally couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the ground and died with a thud.

Rainien and the others were helping to deal with other enemies, and they were extremely excited to see this momentum.

The monsters, however, were as sad as if they had lost their parents and began to throw away their weapons and armor.

Some of them didn't even care about the bone spears in their hands, just threw them away and fled to the river bend behind them.

But after a while, they were caught up and killed one by one with one sword.

In this mountain wilderness, the murlocs couldn't possibly outrun them.

"Great, we won!"

The people who had won a great victory were filled with joy and excitement on their faces.

They were once chased away by this group of monsters, and even several teammates died. The memory was extremely painful.

But now, I have finally gotten my revenge!

"Everyone, don't be too happy too soon. Quickly pack up and leave."

Roy stood there panting for a while, leaning on his sword. After he came to his senses, he reminded him.

There are many other apprentices and murlocs around. No matter which side they encounter, a fight may break out and they will be in danger again.

Everyone responded, and skillfully cut open the fish, took out the pearls, and cleaned up the battlefield.

“This thing…

I've been paying attention to it for a long time!" Roy also turned his attention back to the body of the Murloc Lord and immediately dug out the strange eyeball growing in the palm of his hand.

Suddenly, he shuddered and the pain between his eyebrows reappeared.

"Can this thing still be stimulated?"

Roy tensed his body, as if facing a great enemy.

However, the lightning did not appear. Instead, a translucent virtual panel suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and the progress was pushed forward a lot.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (35% → 100%)]

"what happened?"

Roy is pleasantly surprised!

Previously, the alchemy talent I had acquired was always passive and slow.

It took a whole year to obtain the second Black Iron-level talent [Alchemy Machine].

After that, progress slowed significantly.

I thought it would take at least another year or two to get the third Black Iron-level talent...

Unexpectedly, it happened in one step!
And what was displayed on the panel next made him overjoyed.

In the field of vision, a translucent illusory panel emitted a strange light and words appeared.

【Sulphur-Mercury Theory (Bronze Level)】

[Master the knowledge of using sulfur and mercury to generate Zabeel Magic Gold. When performing related operations, the corresponding ability level is +1]

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (0% → 83%)]

Bronze level talent!
Not a Black Iron level talent!
Moreover, the progress of obtaining the next talent soared to 83%!

Threads of it flow into the brain like clear springs.

Roy's eyes suddenly became much clearer.

The sulfur-mercury theory is an important basic theory in ancient alchemy.

The ancients believed that the essence of base metals was a pathological phenomenon caused by the imbalance of the four elements (fire, earth, air, and water) and sulfur and mercury. Therefore, it was only necessary to balance their proportions to "cure" them and turn them into "healthy" precious metals.

All metals in the world are composed of sulfur and mercury in different proportions.

These two things, dry like smoke and moist like steam respectively, condense into objects, which is the process by which the earth condenses various metal minerals.

Through secret recipes in specific proportions, combined with alchemical spells and rituals...

And the most important step, infusing witchcraft energy.

It can cause it to transform!

This magic metal made from sulfur and mercury as raw materials is called Zabir Magic Gold in the wizarding world.

Their items range from low to high levels, and their properties are also different. They can be regarded as a specific category of metal and were widely used in the early development of the wizarding world.

[Sulfur and Mercury Theory] This bronze-level talent bestows relevant knowledge and abilities.

"So that's what happened..."

Roy suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

This is not a superficial impression like playing a teaching video, but it is integrated into the brain like instinct and directly instilled.

The limited scope is no longer apprentice-level alchemy operations, but has been changed to the field of Zabir Magic Gold.

The so-called "when performing related operations, the corresponding ability level +1" is even more amazing.

The "ability level" here refers to the alchemy skill level corresponding to the wizard level.

For example, Apprentice-level Alchemy +1 is Level 1 Alchemy, and Level Alchemy + is Level Alchemy.

And so on.

As a senior apprentice, Roy's knowledge and abilities are only at the apprentice level so far.

But after obtaining this bronze-level talent, his ability corresponding to the field of "Zabir Magic Gold" instantly soared to a level comparable to that of a first-level wizard!
