Chapter 181 We Are Behind You

Although he doesn't know exactly what the Whispering Lady's plan is, but he can at least confirm one thing, that is, this demon god is not going to use violent means to subdue himself, perhaps because he needs to slowly corrupt himself Disintegrate your own resistance in the most fundamental spiritual will?

Xia Ran is also confirming or testing this guess now, and she naturally acts a little unscrupulous. She can only say that those who cannot get it are always in commotion, and those who are favored are always confident.

Um?Is there something wrong with this statement?

"..."

"..."

"Naturally there are, you just need enough patience and a little bit of practice."

After a very brief moment of silence, a deep female voice sounded in the air.

With the whisper of the demon god, the surrounding scenes suddenly changed. The originally narrow room suddenly widened, and the area increased by an unknown number of times.

Xia Ran saw that the hardwood table in front of her disappeared without warning, replaced by an alchemy table rising from the ground, and the surrounding bookshelves were also replaced by storage racks with a lot of materials placed on them.

He just glanced around roughly, and found that the materials included plant roots, flowers and leaves, ore fragments, animal bones and scales, and even human skulls... It looked very scary.

In this dazzling switching, the young magician couldn't react for a while.

"Although this is only a spiritual illusion, I can make its laws and regulations completely equal to reality, whether it is the change of matter or the reaction of energy..."

The whisper of the demon god sounded again——

"You can practice an unlimited number of times here, and you won't really consume rare and precious materials. All you need to pay is your spiritual strength... If you really master the formula and can make it here, then in The same is true in reality.”

Can there be such an operation?

Xia Ran was shocked immediately, do you want to cheat like this?

"If you are going to make this potion, you should use the blood of the Frost Dragon as the core, right? Then there are five kinds of materials that need to be changed..." Ms. Whispering ignored what he was thinking, and started to speak in a straightforward manner. guide.

Xia Ran's mind froze, she quickly concentrated, her body moved almost subconsciously, quickly took the corresponding materials, and processed them with the instruments on the alchemy table.

Grinding, distilling, separating...

On the alchemy base purified from the core material, follow strict steps to add subsequent auxiliary materials one after another...

These are the basic operations he practiced when he was brushing up his proficiency before, so it's not a big problem.However, this is far from enough. Alchemy in the true sense is not a well-behaved chemistry, but a skill that belongs to the mysterious field.

Because what alchemy looks at is not only the chemical reaction that occurs after two or more substances are mixed, but also the change in the nature of the original magic power contained in the magic material itself. Alchemy is difficult to grasp.

The chemical reaction itself must be taken into account, and the magical properties of the materials used in the current step must change as expected before or immediately after the reaction occurs, or at a certain stage during the reaction... …

This is already a very troublesome limitation——

There are many steps that need to be operated, and the time may not be plentiful. Some of them may even take only a blink of an eye. The timing must be strictly grasped.

Sometimes it is necessary for the operator to use his own magic power or spiritual power to induce targeted stimulation, and he cannot wait foolishly for the original magic power contained in the material to change naturally, it will definitely not be able to keep up.

Moreover, the material itself is also very variable. It is very likely that the amount of a certain material is only one gram more, or the year of growth is a few years longer or a few days less. The amount of original magic power contained in it is very likely. There will be a significant difference.

——Mephala is probably also for the sake of complete simulation, not all the materials are the same, but each has its own differences.

Therefore, there will be uncertain time errors in its change response, from a few seconds to a few minutes, or even a few hours or even a longer time, maybe speeding up, maybe slowing down.

And not only the difference in time, but also the size and strength of the reaction may be affected, so a series of follow-up reactions will come, so relative adjustments should be made to the subsequent material processing and alchemy operations, You can’t continue throwing material into the pot without looking at anything.

Even stir-frying is not like this, let alone alchemy.

All in all, it is very complicated. Xia Ran's forehead is sweating unknowingly, and her mental power is also being consumed rapidly. The fidelity of this environment is really equal to reality...

How complicated is this matter?It can be said that from the first step of making the alchemy base, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, because the alchemy base produced would always have some deviations than expected, which made the materials he had processed in advance impossible to use .

It may be a little more, or it may be a little less, and it needs to be processed again.But the time is limited, if the auxiliary materials are not mixed and reacted as soon as possible, the characteristics of the alchemy base itself will be quickly volatilized and lost in a short period of time, and other changes will occur.

Once his speed can't keep up, for example, he should increase or decrease a few grams when carefully calculating the material, and waste too much time when carefully adding and subtracting, then it will be completely useless.

The same is true for the following steps. He almost desperately found that it seemed impossible for him to obtain the results that were completely in line with the expectations in each step, without any difference, which would lead to changes in the next step.

Because there is only an extremely short reaction time in some stages, it is impossible for him to calculate the amount of deviation in an instant, and then process the materials that were prepared before in an instant, so that they just meet the standards, and add them in time.

In addition, the difference in the potency of the medicinal material itself needs to be considered. There are too many factors and variables that need to be paid attention to and calculated, and the requirements are also very precise and complicated... One wrong step, one wrong step, and the mistakes are like a snowball. accumulate more.

What the hell?

Is this work really something that humans can do?Could it be said that a master alchemist who can make gold-level potions is the kind whose agility and intelligence are over a hundred, whose actions can be measured in hundredths of a second, and whose calculation speed can be compared to that of a computer?

Fail, fail, fail...

Time is passing by quietly. If these materials are not false, Xia Ran suspects that he has already wasted hundreds of thousands of points. It is precisely because he has no worries that he dares to grit his teeth and continue wasting materials again and again.

Since Mephala said yes, then this method is definitely effective, he may just have not grasped the key.

The only thing he needs is a good attitude, so he can't be discouraged and give up the opportunity directly...

that's it--

Xia Ran had no choice but to end the practice until her mental power was almost bottomed out, but she didn't succeed once.

……

……

The group of lost people seems to have reached a consensus, but it seems that because they don't have enough materials, they are not in a hurry to finalize the matter first.

If they don't say anything, Xia Ran is happy to pretend that he doesn't know. After all, he made a wrong estimate in advance, and he overestimated himself a bit.What is the 100% probability of failure, it is basically a [-]% probability of failure.

——Even if the risk is someone else's, he is more hopeful that he can succeed, and he can share an extra share.

In this way, at night, he followed Mephala in the spiritual space to diligently study the wisdom of magic, and allocated half of the time to continue to improve his proficiency in alchemy; Going forward, I took the opportunity to meditate to restore my spirit.

Because he wasn't part of the team, it was normal for him to be silent, and there wasn't much to discuss between a group of close combatants and him.

In addition, he was wearing a mask, so others couldn't see his face, and couldn't know his mental state. Naturally, he didn't know that this powerful and mysterious legal system veteran was actually a dog behind his back.

But hard work always pays off. In addition to his soaring proficiency in alchemy skills, he was also pushed by the demon god to walk a long way in the field of magic, and he began to master illusions beyond specifications. Summon and destroy three types of magic.

However, the point is not how many low-level magic skills he is sure to complete, how many advanced skills he has comprehended, but that he has pulled away from the original perspective and started to look at the field of magic with an extraordinary vision.

It's not just a simple cramming to accept knowledge, he will work hard to dig out the thoughts from various angles, and he has his own thinking in his heart.

Because they brought a group of robbers with them, the next march was a bit slower, and it took them another three days to arrive at the abandoned mine that had just restarted, but that didn't matter, Xueman City The time given is quite sufficient.

——Actually, after setting a specific time, it can already be seen that Xueman City is in a hurry, and I don’t know where so much copper is needed for construction. It is said that there are three copper mines near Xueman City It's been running day and night.

But it seems that it is still not enough, even such remote and dangerous mines are still not let go... Obviously there is not enough manpower, but I don't know where it is used, and the construction of the city does not show that there is any place that needs to be occupied in large quantities. Labor and inputs to copper resources.

This is a steep mountain with jagged rocks and almost no grass. The peak is so high that it reaches the sky. It seems normal if there is a dragon resurrected and entrenched on it.

A part of the guards were left behind to guard the group of robbers with the personnel stationed here in the mine, and the rest followed the lost people into the mine, and even the leader of the robbers was taken along with them.

——After all, it is a small boss whose physical strength has both broken through 50 points. Even if the skills can't keep up, it would be a pity not to use this kind of combat power.

Originally, the bandit leader wanted to rather die than surrender, but since he had confessed once before, it would be easier to cooperate the second time, probably because he had a bit more of a broken can and broken mentality.

The most important thing is Xia Ran's threat. He has learned the follow-up to the "Resurrected Zombie" spell's advanced summoning magic - "Enslave the Dead".

Anyway, what is needed is the fighting power of the bandit leader. As for whether he is dead or alive, although this influence is still there, it is not too big...

So the bandit leader who would not cooperate even if he was beaten to death, was invited out of the cell by a mysterious and powerful magician to receive him with good wine and good food, and explained his plan in a leisurely manner, and showed the evil power of magic on the spot. .

He couldn't say any loud rejection words, but silently picked up his job bowl and said "really fragrant" with a sincere expression.

The interior of the mine is dimly lit, and many places are supported by wooden frames, but there are also many side roads that have collapsed. In the main workplaces or rest places, there are windbreak lamps or torches.

There are also people working, but they look like thieves, and they dare not make too much noise at all. After digging a few times, they have to carefully prick up their ears to listen.

Because the undead in the ancient Nord's tomb in the depths have been awakened, and some of them have even entered the intricate mines, wandering aimlessly in it, and it is very likely that they will be attracted by noise.

The group made a total calculation and decided that it would be best to clear up the ghouls wandering in the mine, and then enter the deep tomb passage as quickly as possible.

Because it is too dangerous to fight in the narrow mine, and there is only so little space, Xia Ran is afraid that if he goes out with a fireball, all of them will die in the mine accident... and the underground tombs of Nord are often built very solidly, with quite a lot of space. The spacious space can be displayed.

"This is your weapon... You go ahead, the time has come to make a contribution."

Xia Ran handed the hatchet to the bandit leader, and patted him on the shoulder earnestly.

"Then what if we meet a ghoul?" the bandit leader asked suspiciously.

"Don't be afraid, you can just go up and hack with the guys, they are not dangerous..." Xia Ran said solemnly.

Nothing dangerous?The bandit leader immediately felt relieved, held the ax and walked forward with his head held high. But soon, he realized that something was wrong. When he looked back, he saw the group of people and the guards of the brigade were far behind him. look at.

——with a distance of at least 30 meters.

"You... what are you doing..." The bandit leader held back for a long time before asking such a sentence.

"We'll cover you from behind." Xia Ran said seriously.

"Shouldn't I get closer to cover?"

"What are you afraid of, we have dozens of guys here to protect you, and if something goes wrong, we will throw them all over!"

The bandit leader's face turned green immediately.
