Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 54 Dark Talent
“It seems to be successful. Among these people, ordinary apprentices have no way to resist.

But Pimir might be a little resistant.

It’s better not to alarm him…”

Roy thought to himself, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves dipped in the soothing scent of cattail water, and approached the camp quietly.

From beginning to end, he controlled his mental power and showed no murderous intent at all.

Because he knew that the spiritual embodiment of senior apprentices could cultivate a variety of extraordinary powers.

This includes the ability to perceive malicious intent.

Instead of attacking Pimir, he kidnapped one of the night watchmen, took him up the hill and woke him up.

"Where, where is this?" The man suddenly woke up from his sleep and said in surprise.

"If you don't want to die, answer whatever I ask you!" Roy put the sword on his neck.

"Ah!" The man froze with fear.

"What's your name?"

"Wen...Winter..."

"Very well, tell me, what are you doing here?"

Winter was still a little confused and spoke haltingly.

However, Roy was very patient and guided him to continue asking questions. Only then did he find out that this was indeed the place where Oren refined the puppets.

The chalk soil he wanted to find was also at the bottom of the stone pit, but it was now covered by rotten flesh and corpse water.

"Is there any way to get in without alerting the stone demon? How did you do it before?"

Roy pondered for a moment and asked the crucial question.

"Tell me everything you know, and I will spare your life."

"Really?"

Winter's eyes suddenly widened, and his hope of life was rekindled.

“We have a token given by Senior Oulun. If we carry it with us, we will be considered friendly and will not be attacked.

But you cannot destroy the pool or its contents, nor can you mobilize witchcraft energy nearby."

Roy thought for a moment, ordered him to take out the token, then tied him up with chains and led him inside.

……

Not long after, the two men came to the edge of the pit and smelled an unusually strong stench of decay.

However, Roy did not despise it, instead he looked excited.

Because of a slight tingling sensation between the eyebrows, the translucent illusory panel appeared again.

"Go and help me fish them out."

Roy turned to look at Winter.

"Huh?" Winter pointed at himself, the chains on his shoulders rattling. "Me?"

"If it's not you, then it's me?" Roy said expressionlessly.

"You must not seek death. Senior Oren values these things very much!" Winter misunderstood something and explained hurriedly.

Roy said, "Don't worry, I'm just taking a look. I won't lose a piece of his flesh."

Winter was deeply skeptical about this, but in the end he was no match for his opponent, so he could only jump into the swamp-like stone pit and get to work.

He also knew that it was impossible for him to fish out all the body parts, and it was really smelly inside, so he only picked out the large pieces, and soon he had several large pieces.

Roy felt a slight pain between his eyebrows and was slightly surprised.

But when I saw the things that were fished out, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"What are these?"

"We've discussed this privately. It might be artificial human flesh and blood created from chalk!"

"Artificial human flesh and blood..." [Alchemy talent is being acquired (85% → 90%)]

Roy looked at what was displayed on the translucent virtual panel and ordered, "Continue!"

Winter was both afraid and disgusted, but he had no choice but to continue.

After a while, another batch of white meat was fished out.

Some of those things that are like white clay can stimulate the center of the eyebrows and produce a reaction, while others are like ordinary things and have no reaction at all.

This surprised Roy, but also gave him more doubts.

"Even if they were taken out of the same pond, there's such a big difference?"

But no matter what, the progress of the Unreal Panel is gradually filling up.

When Winter salvaged another piece of "chalk soil" that looked like a human arm.

【Blackening (Black Iron Level)】

[Mastering the blackening technique in the Four Colors Theory, capable of dissolving all kinds of things and returning them to their original black broth]

It was like a sudden enlightenment, and knowledge came to him out of nowhere. Roy had a blank expression on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart.

It’s finally done!

Darkening...

This is the alchemical term for the process of decomposition, dissolution, corruption, etc.

"Alchemists, through their observation of nature, have long understood that all things decay and decay.

The first step in alchemy is often to decompose or melt the substance. This is the first step in alchemy.

Since many decaying things appear black in their natural state, this process is called melanization!

In the "blackening" stage, things are broken down and return to their original chaotic state.

The pool of corpse water in the pit in front of us is the most intuitive example.

Roy quickly thought of the process of human food intake and digestion.

Various foods are chewed and ground by the teeth. After entering the stomach, they are corroded and dissolved by acid and reduced to nutritious soup.

This is essentially a form of blackening.

Whether it's chicken, duck, cattle, sheep, or vegetables and tofu...

Various substances will be reduced into sugar, fat and protein in the stomach.

This is also a process of "death" (the original form of food disappears) and "rebirth" (nutrients are absorbed and utilized by the body).

The Darkening Technique is extremely mysterious and is one of the alchemists' top secret techniques.

Why did Okmi Wuta choose spells like "Strong Acid Refining" as the main course, and even use it as one of the alternatives in the subsequent inheritance sequence?

The reason is that understanding the process of acid corrosion, digestion and dissolution will help us master "blackening"!
But now, he has directly mastered the ultimate form of these "acids", the "blackening technique" that can dissolve everything!
It doesn't look like the previous [Sulfur Mercury Theory], which has an additional level bonus and can reach the wizard level in advance.

However, since the "Blackening Technique" has a wider range and greater uses, as long as you are willing to work hard and study it in depth, you can also reach a considerable level!

Roy hesitated for a moment and instructed Winter: "Throw all these things back."

When Winter heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got busy again.

After a while, the two left the valley and returned to the camp.

"Lord Roy, you've seen it all. Can you please let me go?" Winter's face was bitter as he pleaded softly, "I promise to be honest and not reveal your presence."

Roy said, "Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise. It doesn't matter whether you are honest or not. I just want to see what is in the pit. I didn't do anything else."

He immediately called him over and planned to untie the chains and release him.

At this moment, the two suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front.

Immediately afterwards, a scream was heard and cries of surprise were heard everywhere.
