Chapter 86 83: Extraordinary Potion

Although the current performance of muskets has almost no actual combat value, it does not mean that the path of live ammunition weapons is not feasible.

Some defensive spells and special armor can withstand the bombardment of offensive spells, but cannot deal with physical damage. At this time, it is time for live ammunition weapons to appear.

Like bows and arrows, crossbows and even trebuchets, they all use potential energy to convert into kinetic energy and can be classified as traditional live ammunition weapons.

And if you combine a musket with a magic weapon, can you use magic power to propel the projectile so that it can achieve faster speed and higher damage than traditional live ammunition weapons?

For example, instead of using multiple "acceleration" arrays to propel bullets?

At the same time, bullets can also be assembled with special alchemical materials to deal with various special battle scenarios.

As a time traveler, he had actually had this idea before, but the structure of the magic gun with this structure was obviously more complex than that of the traditional magic gun.

At that time, he did not have any extra alchemical resources, so he had to give up and forget about it as time went by.

But now the appearance of this musket reminded him that it seemed that this technology line could also be put on the agenda.

After that, Arland introduced various weird alchemy props to Nolen.

Most of these props are in a similar situation to muskets. Their principles and structures are extremely sophisticated, but they have little practical use.

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that there is "magic" in this world.

Because of magic, people can move mountains and seas and transform nature with their personal strength.

Although these alchemy arts are the crystallization of human wisdom, how can they be as powerful as magic?

Therefore, even the existing alchemy technology in this world has laid the foundation for the Roland Empire to enter the steampunk era.

But as long as extraordinary powers like magic still exist, these things will ultimately be seen as miraculous tricks in the eyes of the empire and will not receive enough attention.

The status of alchemists is not as good as that of extraordinary beings, and Flamel, the city of alchemy, is in an embarrassing situation within the Roland Empire for this reason.

On the one hand, it is one of the oldest cities in the empire and ranks first in the empire in the field of alchemy.

But on the other hand, the empire does not think that being the first in alchemy is such a great achievement. The number of Flamel's extraordinary people in the empire can only be ranked in the middle, so it is still more than above or below. status.

This is also the main reason why Flamel is eager to get the new rune system. They are more eager than Linfeng City to use this technology to improve their strength and prove to the empire——

The upper limit of our alchemy is very high!

This is what Nolen is happy to see, because only Flamel, who values ​​alchemy so much, would be willing to pay a high price for learning the new rune system.

As the only two cities on the alchemy side of the Roland Empire, the first exchange was not unharmonious.

Since we are going in both directions, it will be a matter of course for us to sign a cooperation agreement.

The next morning, Arland visited the city lord's palace again and worked out the main content of the agreement with Evelin and Nolen:

1. During the agreement period, Flamel City will provide magic crystals to Linfeng City for a long time at a price that is % lower than the market price. Of course, Linfeng City cannot use it for commercial purposes with other forces.

2. Flamel City will provide Linfeng City with support and technical support for some alchemy props related to magic tools, and promote Linfeng City’s overall progress in the field of magic tools.

3. Linfeng City will provide Flamel City with information related to the basic new alchemical rune system and help Flamel City conduct research on the new rune system.

The so-called "information on the basic new alchemy rune system" refers to the fact that Nolen will provide them with one type of each of the four series of earth, water, fire and wind from level one to level five, with a total of twenty new types drawn by the new rune system. Magic circle.

This was the result of Arland's negotiation under the instruction of the city lord Bach, because if he wanted to directly exchange all the knowledge about the new rune system, Flamel would have to pay too much.

We are all fellow alchemists, so we naturally know how important this new rune system is. How can this be exchanged for giving away some magic crystals and some insignificant scraps of technology?

Flamel also has its own core alchemy technology, but out of selfish motives, at least in the first cooperation, they do not want to exchange their core technology with Linfeng City.

Instead, they exchanged some low-level new magic formations at a relatively small price, and hoped to gather the power of the whole city to deduce the operating principles of the new rune system by studying the commonalities of these magic formations.

There are so many talented alchemists in Flamel City, so as long as you give me some inspiration and inspiration, I can naturally deduce the rune system that you can create in Linfeng City very quickly!

They had their own little calculation here, and Nolen was also very satisfied with the result.

The new runes are so complicated, and you can count on your ability by relying on just twenty magic circles to deduce them.

Research also takes time. At least for a long time, Linfeng City will still be the monopoly of the new rune system.

The main content of the agreement was successfully discussed, and then came other details.

The chatting atmosphere was harmonious, but when Arland proposed to invite Nolen to Flamel City as a guest, he received strong opposition from Evelin.

"Nolen is the general staff officer of our army. He has a heavy task and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away from it these days."

Evelin suppressed her smile and rebuffed lightly, "If Linfeng City needs to send an envoy to return a visit, there are other candidates here, so you don't have to worry."

Linfeng City was able to win the war, successfully reach cooperation with Flamel, and get so many benefits from it. All of this is inseparable from Nolen.

The reason why the City Lord's Mansion suddenly gave Nolen such a high status was because they were afraid that he would leave and serve other big forces.

Flamel City is a city of alchemy, which is very attractive to alchemists.

Flamel's heritage is also deeper than that of Linfeng City, and it can only give Nolen more than Linfeng City.

To be honest, Evelin was really a little afraid that Nolen wouldn't be able to withstand the temptation, and would go to Flamel and never come back.

However, for Arland, instigating Nolen's rebellion is also part of his mission, so he cannot give up easily.

As long as Norun is obtained, Linfeng City will be nothing more than a worthless border city, and Flamel no longer needs to worry about maintaining cooperation with it.

"Lady Evelin, your words are wrong. My identity is not only Flamel's envoy, but also a director of the Alchemy Society headquarters."

Arland smiled and said, "Mr. Nolen is not just the general staff officer of the City Lord's Mansion, he is also an alchemist registered with the Alchemy Society and others.

"In view of the special alchemy achievements he has made, it is normal for the Alchemy Society to invite him to the headquarters to complete the promotion to senior alchemist, right? "I believe that with his talents, he will serve as the president of the Linfeng City branch in the future. The job is just around the corner. This matter is related to the future, and the decision-making power must be left to the individual to consider carefully. "

"...!" Evelin was still a bit tender and was choked by these words and was speechless for a moment.

If she continues to refuse, it will appear that she, the city lord, is nosy and petty.

He is the general staff officer of the City Lord's Mansion, and he is not a dog of the City Lord's Mansion, so how could he not have any freedom at all.

If Nolen got desperate and resigned and went to Flamel, she wouldn't know where to cry.

"I've really been a little bit distracted lately." Nolen declined casually, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come and visit your city."

What can Flamel give himself now? It's nothing more than more reputation, but now that he has a sufficient status in Linfeng City, he no longer cares so much about external things.

Moreover, the safety of going to Flamel is unknown. Do you really have the strength to protect yourself from the unknown environment now?

Currently, there is a gap between Linfeng City's strength and Flamel's. It is wise to take advantage of this period to quickly improve yourself and have the right to speak on an equal footing with other forces as soon as possible.

"It's okay, it's not urgent, it's not urgent."

Arland smiled and stood up with the signed agreement, "The cooperation contract has been signed. I will take it back to Flamel tomorrow. Nolen, we will confirm other details in the terms later. Well, let’s not continue to take up Lady Evelin’s time now.”

"Yes." Nolen stood up, "I'll see you off."

Until he left the office, he could feel Evelin staring at him, as if she was wondering whether he would be pried away by Arland.

Really, how can I, Nolen, who is so strong and strong, become a slave of three families?

Need more money!

When he came outside, without the interference of the Lord of the City, Arland continued to attack Nolen: "Nolen, we communicated all day yesterday. You know me. I always speak more directly.

“Although I am offensive to Lady Evelin, I do think that continuing to stay in Linfeng City will bury your alchemy talent.

“There is no deep academic research atmosphere here, and there are no colleagues with whom you can communicate and make progress. Even the necessary alchemy resources have to be imported from abroad... You are really underachieving by staying here.

"If you can come to Flamel, I guarantee that you will get no less treatment than Linfeng City, and you will also be able to learn more top-notch alchemy techniques. These techniques are unique to Flamel, and you will not easily ask for help. It’s open to the outside world!

“There’s no more ideal living situation for an alchemist, right?”

"I'm embarrassed to say that." Nolen smiled, "It seems you really value me."

"Of course!" Arland said seriously, "Even in Flamel, you are the most talented alchemist I have ever seen."

He had been chatting with Nolen all day yesterday, including appreciating alchemy props with him at night. The real purpose was to gain an insidious understanding of his true alchemy level.

Yet, just as Nolen could point out the principles as soon as he picked up a musket, Nolen could pick up on almost any topic he threw at him.

Even if it touches on his knowledge blind spots, with a little help, he can quickly understand and come up with unique ideas.

You must know that I am a senior alchemist in his forties. He also serves as a director at the headquarters and reads all kinds of alchemy knowledge every day.

If even he has to rack his brains to stump a novice who just became an official alchemist not long ago, this is enough to prove that Nolen has genuine alchemy talent.

It can only be said that he is indeed a genius who created a new rune system.

The seventeen-year-old legendary alchemist, he approved.

"I think it was precisely in order to follow Edward Flamel that many alchemists gathered in Flamel and jointly established this alchemical city."

Nolen looked at the distant skyline and said, "That is the real genius. If I am the same, I should stay here and do the same thing as him."

Arlande was stunned.

Who is Edward Flamel? He is the founder of the Flamel family and the greatest alchemist in the history of alchemy!

It was he who formulated the theory and framework of contemporary alchemy. He is the being that all alchemists must look up to. No matter how powerful a genius is, he will not think that his achievements can compare with the ancestor of alchemists.

And what do you think? Do you want to develop Linfeng City into the second alchemy city like the founder of Flamel City?

Even if you are a seventeen-year-old legendary alchemist, this goal is too...

Arland shook his head, thinking it was a little joke made by Nolen to decline the invitation.

Also, the information shows that Nolen has never been to Flamel. Of course, he doesn’t know how deep Flamel’s background is and what the “top alchemy technology” he calls represents.

"You mentioned it last night, Nolen."

Arland lowered his voice and said, "You said that you are not extraordinary, so you yearn for the world of extraordinary people. And I can tell you for sure that Flamel has an alchemical potion that can transform ordinary people into extraordinary people."

When Nolen heard this, his eyes moved slightly.

Becoming a transcendent was indeed something he planned to do after the war.

There are just too many things he wants to do, and due to limited knowledge, he has not yet asked the Book of Omniscient Knowledge for the formula for the extraordinary potion.

If you can get the finished product from Flamel, you can not only become extraordinary, but also gain additional knowledge points. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Seeing his expression, Arland knew there was something going on and struck while the iron was hot: "Of course, to have such a life-changing effect, the materials required for it are very rare, the cost is high, and there are only a few bottles in stock.

"Only people who are very important to Flamel have the opportunity to obtain the extraordinary potion. Fortunately, Master Bach values ​​you very much. If you can come to Flamel, I think you will definitely get one of the places, right?"

As an ancient alchemical city, Flamel has indeed made quite a few achievements in the field of alchemy.

After knowing that Flamel had the formula for the extraordinary potion, Nolen's mind began to become active, and the figure of a girl flashed in his mind unknowingly.

"Besides extraordinary potions, does Flamel have any other research results?"

He thought for a while and said slowly, "For example...alchemy technology that allows people to reshape their bodies and restore broken limbs?"
