Alchemy Principles of Type-Moon World

"Xing Ling! Meng%Shou+Fa Qingjiu, this is the second common solution when facing a barrier." Newton signaled Xing Qingjiu to observe the structure in the hall. The barrier had been completely taken over. Kenneth was sweating profusely at this moment as he used the main circuit to try to regain control of the branch, but unfortunately it was of no use.

　(7) Er^Umbrella Mio SiB Pullz Flag Mixed Similar; "Sever control and connect to your barrier, thus changing the owner of this place to you."

"Sir... this isn't normal..." Kenneth sweatdropped. "This kind of operation is usually only possible when one's skills are far superior to the other party. To completely understand the structure of the other party's workshop in such a short time and seize control with overwhelming force..."

"...What's even more incomprehensible is that you can achieve this without any external aids, relying solely on a simple circuit structure. I've never heard of this method, and I can't imagine seeing it used in a regular magic battle. It can only exist in the teaching of lower-level magicians by high-level magicians."

"That's just you." Newton didn't accept Kenneth's praise. "Back when I fought those people from the Wandering Sea, those monsters used the earth and water veins as a way to escape. They'll just give you a meteorite shot when they meet you. So what? Just a small fight."

"How about it, Xing Qing, have you learned it?"

"Let me think..." Xing Qingyu held his intestines and tried to nod, but his vanished upper body couldn't support the gesture. "How is this control... calculated?"

"It's usually a spiritual connection." Newton replied, and by the way, he infused Xing Qingjiu with magic power to speed up his body's recovery.

"Oh..." Xing Qingwu suddenly had an idea, "Can we use this connection to reverse the poison or something?"

"For example, inflicting memetic contamination, mind interference, or something like that. Killing someone remotely would also count as permission, right?"

"You born evil magic imp," Newton said expressionlessly, "this is the idea of the curse."

"Yes, yes, that's right." Xing Qingqi's clear eyes revealed a harmless look. "Mind control, hypnosis, they can all be effective, right?"

"We can dig out the magical properties and mental imprints left by the workshop owner in the circuit, so why can't we use this connection to directly influence him? Wouldn't it be much easier to curse him to death remotely?"

“Isn’t it more cost-effective to do this?”

"Unless you're far more skilled than I am at cursing my father to death," Kenneth's tone revealed fatigue. "Otherwise, what makes you think I'd sit quietly in the workshop and let you cast the curse without making any preparations?"

"Curses are risky. If not handled properly, they will backfire."

"Yeah, that's quite right." Newton nodded with satisfaction. The assistant coach was exhausted, which made him feel relieved. "Next, it's time to put the two methods we just learned into practice."

"So fast?!" Xing Qingyu's eyes widened in astonishment. "Uh, I've only just learned the theoretical outline..."

"If you understand the theory, doesn't that mean you can practice it?" Newton asked curiously. "I'll give you an external magic power reserve and a sub-machine with a month's supply of spiritual essence fluid."

"There are twenty-two floors left. You will crack them."

"Do you want to go?! I'm going to fight Kenneth and his remaining twenty floors of fully armed workshops?!" Xing Qingyu's pupils trembled, "Eh... is this true?!"

"After learning the theory, isn't the next step to practice? What's so difficult about that?"

"Sir, your educational philosophy may be a little..." Even Kenneth couldn't stand it anymore.

"How can I teach students to use you?"

"……Yes."

Kenneth complied.

It doesn't matter what I save, because there are only a few left...

I don't know how the rhythm control and character creation are, so please give me more feedback, thank you.

Volume 16: Alchemy Apprentice from the Fourth War: . Desperate Mathematics Lesson

"Yes, just like this. Think of the ceremonial suit as an extension of your spirit. The ceremonial suit has its own calculations and memory. Simple actions only require issuing commands."

"'Dilectus incursio' - automatic defense." Xing Qingqi used the broken Latin he had just learned to command the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. The mercury beads gathered under his feet changed their shape the moment the order was given, completely blocking all the incoming magic bullets.

"Well, now that you're familiar with the basics of the ceremonial suit, it's time to get down to business," Newton said. "The barrier on this entire floor has six main nodes and thirty-six secondary nodes. Each node is constantly moving according to different patterns in response to the workshop's operations."

"All you have to do is calculate the movement of these nodes simultaneously, record it into the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, and then destroy them simultaneously."

"..."

"Huh?" Xing Qingfeng, who was playing with the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid excitedly, turned his head to look at Newton in astonishment and pointed at himself silently.

"Yes, you." Newton said affirmatively, "You just need to give the function and let Lizhuang calculate it on its own."

"Ha, back then I was just working directly with elemental mercury. There was no need for a formal costume. I simply calculated the numerical solution myself," Newton said casually. "Is it really that difficult to find an analytical solution? Besides, the mathematical tools we use today are so much better than they were back then. It's so convenient to use Hilbert's mathematical tools to solve functional problems. It always makes me feel refreshed."

"I've strayed off topic. I remember I gave you a book to teach you mathematics, didn't I?" Newton continued. "It's not like I haven't taught students before. I taught for seventeen years."

"Ordinary people can't do what I just did right away, and I understand. Qingjiu has just learned how to use magic and ritual equipment, and his basic skills are not solid. He hasn't even trained in the basic alchemy skills of Level LVIII - Dream Split Thinking and Accelerated Thinking. Of course, I won't make things too difficult for him."

"So I allowed him to use his formal attire to assist with his calculations, just like when I was teaching at Cambridge I allowed students to bring slide rules and formula books to the final exams." Newton smiled. "Haha, it seems I'm still very gentle with my students."

When Xing Qingyu heard this, he recalled his university advanced mathematics teacher.

The old man was a researcher by profession, but because he had to teach undergraduate courses, he became their advanced math teacher. Every time I attended his class and followed the textbook, I felt like I had learned everything. I also memorized the key points carefully during the final exam. When we learned that we could bring calculators and textbooks to the exam, everyone cheered.

Then I was beaten badly by the final exam.

When studying with a textbook: I understand it all!

During the exam: Who can understand this?

Xing Qingqiu, who failed the advanced mathematics course miserably, recalled the professor who said with great sorrow, "I have marked the key points, you are allowed to bring calculators, and I even allow you to bring mobile phones. Why did you still fail?"

He felt almost exactly the same as he does now.

"Now, let's begin."

"This isn't a practical class at all..." Xing Qingfeng lay on the ground in despair, observing the constantly moving nodes through his sunglasses. "This is a fucking math test..."

Xing Qingfeng lay prone on the ground. Kenneth considerately halted the workshop's attack, maintaining normal operation so he could solve the puzzle. In reality, Kenneth had already surrendered to this magic battle. Before witnessing Newton's actions, Kenneth still harbored an unrealistic fantasy: he, too, was a rare prodigy in the Clock Tower, and he was sure he could fight in his own workshop.

But his pride was easily shattered by that knight, and he discovered that he wasn't as unkind as the legend said. His desire to win dissipated along with his past pride, and his desire to survive was not stimulated in a stable environment.

The sage, far superior to himself, had considerately initiated the magic duel according to the etiquette between magicians, which was a great honor for him. Moreover, the knight had generously shared his knowledge. If he continued to pursue such an insignificant victory or defeat, he would appear to be ungrateful.

As for the fact that his magic workshop was used as teaching equipment and the dignified Lord of Kissia was used as an assistant teacher, it was more like a great honor to be qualified to be the assistant teacher of that Lord and a magician.

"Lancer, there's no need to prepare for a fight." Kayneth leaned back on the sofa and relaxed. "Can you make tea? Go make me some tea. The tea leaves are in the cabinet over there."

After Sora was sent back, there was no more flirting between Lancer and Sora, or perhaps it was Sora's unilateral expression of affection towards Lancer. With the crisis over, and the opportunity to communicate with the knight, Lancer, who had previously been an eyesore to Kenneth, now seemed much more pleasing to his eye.

While sipping the fine black tea he had brought from home, he calmly observed the apprentice's performance. Although he personally thought the knight's teaching philosophy was too radical, he was not his student after all, so he could not say anything more.

"It's a very quick idea indeed. He is indeed a rough diamond." Kenneth commented as he watched Xing Qingjiu's actions.

Xing Qingfeng, who had returned all his advanced mathematics knowledge to his university teacher, had no choice but to observe each node one by one. But he immediately switched to another way to observe the movement of these nodes -

Nodes reacted more strongly to magic than other parts of the circuit. He attempted to command the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to automatically track these nodes, leaving corresponding movement traces on the wall. Since the movement of the nodes within the workshop was relatively regular, with relatively few irregular curves, calculating them one by one was relatively easy.

"You shouldn't set up a separate coordinate system for each node. Otherwise, when you input it into the gift package, it won't be able to recognize it." Newton quickly discovered Xing Qingjiu's oversight and said, "Calculate them all together."

This means that Xing Qing’s efforts were in vain.

"No!!!!" screams echoed in the hall.

After diligently recalculating, and finally integrating the difficult-to-calculate irregular curve, I managed to get the answer in. When the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was used for a unified attack, it was discovered that some nodes failed to provide the correct analytical solution, thus failing to successfully destroy them.

He had no choice but to recalculate and re-enter the missing data. Finally, after nearly four hours, Xing Qingfeng successfully passed. While four hours was still a bit too long compared to Newton's ability to instantly calculate and destroy the precise numerical solutions for all nodes using only mental arithmetic without relying on any ritual suit, it was still a bit too long.

But Newton didn't seem to mind.

"Master," Lancer shook Kenneth, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, to wake him up, "Xing Qingfeng was successful."

"Oh?" Kenneth glanced at the clock on the wall. "Four hours, that's a pretty good result for a beginner."

"Lancer, go make a pot of tea and send it down." Kenneth thought for a moment, recalling the flavor of the tea Lancer had just brewed for him, and decided to make it himself. "No, forget it, let me do it."

He brewed the tea himself and ordered Lancer to send it down with the snacks, while he himself remained seated on the sofa, observing through the magic mirror.

A naive country magician would have fawned over him long ago. But as the ninth head of the Archibald family and the head of the Minerals Department, even if I admired the knight from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't treat him with such a servile attitude.

Although he had already internally accepted defeat, the final decision on when this magic duel would end was still up to that knight. Appearing before his opponent before the duel was over would have made him appear to lack integrity. Having his servants do the work showed goodwill without appearing too humble. This was the proper etiquette and integrity of a noble, and Kayneth was now proud of this cumbersome formality.

"Diarmait, when facing these two knights, do not be too arrogant, nor too humble." Kayneth instructed Lancer as he pushed the refreshments cart and waited for the elevator. "Remember, you are here to speak to them on my behalf. Do not disgrace my reputation and my expectations of you."

"Yes!" Lancer, who had originally been quite unhappy about being relegated to serving tea and water, felt his frustrations vanish after hearing these words. "I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Having cracked my workshop in four hours is quite impressive for a novice," Kayneth's slightly distorted voice echoed through the hall. "I've had Diarmait bring some afternoon tea. You all may take a break."

"Great, get out of class is over!" Xing Qingyu let out a relieved sound.

"You still have twenty-one barriers to break. Take a break before continuing." Newton took the tea Diarmait handed him, took a sip and said, "The tea is very good. This tastes... Darjeeling?"

"Hey, sir, you actually know Darjeeling?"

“I tasted it when it was sent from India to England.”

"Hmm..." Xing Qingyu sat on the ground, wondering. He felt something was amiss, but he couldn't quite place it. He couldn't come to a conclusion without thinking, so he quickly put this doubt aside.

"Okay, break's over." Newton signaled Xing Qingqi to stand up, while Kenneth restored the barrier to its original state. "Four hours is completely unacceptable by the standards of a magic battle. The calculation time is too long, and the opponent has plenty of time to change the circuit operation method."

"That's right. What's more, you're facing a masterpiece I painstakingly crafted," Kenneth agreed. "Twenty-four layers of barriers, freely transformable and combinable, can be compressed into a single floor. And what you're facing is only one of those twenty-four layers."

　"However, as a first attempt, it's great that it succeeded." Newton nodded approvingly. "Next, I'll tell you the key points of the second method."

"On top of calculating the movement of these nodes and breaking them, you also need to calculate the movement of the breakpoints and the movement of the tentacles of the ritual suit so that it can correctly block and connect itself."

"Then, reverse the calculation and read the structure of the opponent's barrier. Understand the foundation of their magic and discover its effects. Once you fully understand their magic, erase their mark with pure magical structure and replicate the effects. Then, you can either take over the workshop or establish a new balance."

"How's it going? It's just one more step based on what we just learned. It's pretty simple, right?"

Xing Qingyu's scalp tingled when he heard this.

"Are you planning to let me finish learning it in one class?" Xing Qingyu looked at Newton with trembling eyes.

Newton looked at him with a smile.

"You're not going to let me finish it in one class, are you?"

"There are twenty-first floors above."

“No!!!!”

Just as Xing Qingqiu was wailing about his miserable future, something strange happened—

The building's exterior tilted like a giant hand, trying to grasp the interior. The trembling floor rose and fell like waves, nearly causing Xing Qingjiu to fall. Fine sand and gravel rained down from overhead, a silent reminder of impending danger. The steel bars within the wall creaked harshly under the weight, wailing a farewell to their former stability and firmness.

"The course ends here." Newton's face changed, and he said to Xing Qingfeng, "The building is about to collapse."

"Great!" Xing Qingwu jumped up happily.

"Although I know you're happy, don't shout it out like that."

--------------

I checked the original text of FZ's novel again and discovered that Kenneth only booked the 32nd floor, the top floor. I originally thought he'd booked the entire 24 floors... In other words, the positions I described in the book might have been a bit too cautious compared to the original text. Bro, you only booked the top floor as a workshop, how dare you claim to be impeccable? (Half-annoyed)

There are slight differences from the original work, so please be more tolerant and treat it as part of the secondary creation. The new revision is too abstract now, and I am really sorry.

----------------------

Another embarrassing thing happened. I applied for a contract yesterday, but because of my negligence, I forgot to sign a signature and it was rejected. Now I am waiting for the new website message but found out...

The editors seem to have had a holiday for the past three days (sad)

It might take three days before I can sign...

Finally, this is a new book by a new author. Please vote and collect it. Thank you.

Volume 17: The Alchemist's Apprentice from the Fourth War: . The cool male protagonist Niu Jueye

"Definition 1: The amount of a substance is a measure of the density and size of the substance that originates from it."

"Definition 2: The quantity of motion is a measure of the velocity and the amount of matter which are the source of the same motion."

"Definition 3: The inherent force of matter is the power of resisting, by which every body is endeavored to preserve as far as possible its own state either of rest or of continuous and uniform forward motion."

"Definition Four..."

"...Eightfold definitions and fourfold explanations lead to three great laws. Based on these, we can determine the movement of all things, reach the boundaries of the heavens, and explore the system of the universe."

"From this point on, the foundation of theoretical science was laid—the mathematical principles of pseudo-natural philosophy."

In the building on the brink of collapse, Newton slowly recited the release words for his Noble Phantasm, a leisurely recitation that took nearly two minutes to complete. If he had waited until he finished reciting the release words before activating his Noble Phantasm, the entire building would have been reduced to rubble, burying everyone inside.

"Sir, does this Noble Phantasm of yours not require any lines or anything?"

Xing Qingyu looked at the surrounding environment. Gravity was not eliminated, but the "inertia" of the entire building at this moment was infinitely magnified to resist the chain reaction of collapse caused by the inward weight after the key load-bearing columns were destroyed.

"A guy who has no sense of ritual in life."

Newton grabbed Xing Qingqi's collar, carried him out of the window, and flew straight to the top floor.

"Clean up the workshop I'll be using in a couple of days, and pack up the main structure to take away." Newton sat down on the sofa that once belonged to Kenneth, giving him instructions. "Hurry up, this building won't last much longer. While I can keep releasing my Noble Phantasms to maintain its current state, it's still too shocking for a mortal today."

Pouring himself a cup of black tea, Newton sat contentedly on the sofa, watching Kenneth busy tidying up the workshop. Xing Qingjiu also took advantage of the free time to raise his doubts with Newton:
