Release that Witch - Chapter 154

[Chapter 153 Alchemy (Part 1)]

Kyle Strire walked into the alchemy workshop.

“Master Chief Instructor,” the apprentices all bowed their heads when they saw Kaimo.

He waved his hand, “Go ahead.” The

apprentices squatted down again, busy with the work in their hands.

The outermost part of the workshop is the washing room, where materials from all over the Graycastle are washed, sorted, screened, and ground.

The design of the washing room is also very ingenious. The slate floor is laid on a small stream, and the middle is used for passage. On both sides, there are gurgling streams, flowing parallel to the stone path, crossing the arm-wide stream, and the outermost side is the cleaning area. .

At a glance, the long and narrow washing room seems to be divided into three longitudinally by two streams.

The light comes in from the window holes on both sides of the wall, reflecting on the slate floor and the stream, forming long strips of light across the room.

Light and dark overlap each other, like the stripes of a snake.

Nearly a hundred apprentices leaned against the wall, handling the materials assigned to them.

If the removed sundries are lighter than water, they can be thrown into the stream directly; if they are heavier than water, they should be put into a basket and taken out of the washing room before being discarded.

If you use running water for cleaning, the effect is much better than stagnant water in wooden barrels.

They will study here for three to five years, until they are familiar with the sorting and cleaning of all kinds of materials, then they will have the opportunity to be selected by the instructor as disciples and go to the next room.

Kaimo walked into the refining room, the core area of the alchemy workshop, stepping on the bright and dark spots.

Pushing open the door, the sight suddenly became clear. Twelve giant logs brought from the Hidden Forest were used as pillars to prop up this extremely spacious room.

There are windows on all four stone walls, and even the roof has a patio and shelter, making the room extremely light.

There are six wide wooden tables in the center of the refining room, and the tables are full of various alchemy utensils: round-bottomed bottles, glasses, balances, mortars, stoves, crucibles… Each instructor is responsible for managing and using a The table, and as the chief alchemist of Chishui City, he naturally used the longest table with the most utensils.

Here is always full of chaos and disorder, just like alchemy, mixing various raw materials together, heating, dry distillation, passing water, and burning.

Its results are always kaleidoscopic and fascinating.

If one can find a clear direction from these disorderly changes and write it down, it will be an extremely rare alchemy formula.

Anyone who can create original alchemy formulas can be called an alchemist.

So far, he has summed up more than ten alchemy formulas, each of which seems to be whispered from the gods. Kaimo believes that with the development of alchemy to a certain level, it can not only separate the origin, but also combine all things.

“How is your powder imitation, Chames?” he asked.

A young man in his twenties walked over, shook his head, and said, “These damn alchemists must have added other raw materials to it, the powder is so finely ground that it really can’t separate anything useful. ”

He is the youngest alchemist in the alchemy workshop. Generally speaking, if you want to create an alchemy formula, it is impossible to do it without long-term accumulation and trial, and sometimes even a little bit of luck is required.

Many people in the workshop have been disciples for a lifetime, and it is difficult to improve their skills until they die.

And Chames has an extraordinary talent for alchemy. Two years ago, he summed up the method of dry distillation of vitriol to obtain acid, which won the unanimous approval of the five alchemists. Since then, there has been a long table in the refining room.

“Don’t worry, take your time.” He smiled and patted the other person’s shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Having been the chief for eight years, Kaimo naturally understands the difficulty of finding truth from disorder and chaos, “But I did come up with something good last night, which can impress those proud guys. Come with me .”

He walked to his desk and asked two disciples to bring a storage box. The box is about half the height of a person. The whole body is made of wrought iron, so it is not easy to be stolen or damaged.

He took out the key to open the grid on the first floor, and there was a small piece of transparent crystal lying in the center of the grid.

“Cut crystal?” Chames, who was standing aside, carefully held it in his hand, and looked at the sunlight outside the window, “No, this is… crystal glass! My God! You did it!”

“That’s right,” Kaimo said with a smug smile, “I really want to see what wonderful expressions those guys will have on their faces when they see that the alchemy product they are most proud of has been successfully imitated by me. ”

Chames’ uncontrollable admiration alarmed the other alchemists, they all put down their work and gathered around.

“This is the result of your staying until midnight last night? It’s really great.”

“It’s so beautiful, it’s almost like crystal.”

“Congratulations, in this way, the status of our alchemy workshop in the Duke’s heart will be greatly improved Already.”

“How did you make it? Can you tell me about it?”

Kaimo nodded and said, “We all know that the composition of glass is very similar to that of river sand, and the color of glass made from river sand is different from place to place. , because they contain impurities. Either find a way to remove impurities, or find a way to get more pure sand. Everyone is trying in this direction, and so am I. The success of this alchemy is largely due to a By chance. I chose the fine white sand from Liuye Town and the sandstone from Zhuolongling…” The

crowd gathered around him and listened quietly. Only after he finished his narration did the alchemists exhale in unison, “I see, you It’s really thoughtful.”

Crystals are rare and expensive gemstones, and colorless and transparent crystals are even rarer.

Only the cleanest and clearest glass can be called crystal glass. With this product, the Wangdu Alchemy Association is firmly above the alchemy workshop of Chishui City. The golden dragons earned every year make the Duke of Chishui City envious. .

Now, that is about to change soon.

If Chames can find out the composition of the snow powder, and add the method of making acid with two stones, they will completely surpass the Alchemy Association of the Royal Capital. I’m afraid I have to lower my rooster-like head.

Thinking of this, Kymer Struer felt even happier.

Just as he was about to screen the raw materials for the second batch of crystal glass, a disciple hurriedly walked up to him, “Master Chief Instructor, there is an envoy from Border Town in the western border who wants to see you, and he brought the fourth prince A letter from Roland Wimbledon.”

“Fourth prince?” Kaimo frowned and thought for a while, it seemed that there was indeed such a person in the royal family of Graycastle.

He knew very little about the matters among the nobles, and in his impression, this group of people was both ignorant and ignorant, and would only fight for power and wealth.

“What does he want from me?”

“I don’t know. The messenger said that as long as you read the letter, you will naturally understand what His Highness means.”

“…” The chief alchemist showed an extremely impatient look. The content of the letter must not be a lot of money. To recruit oneself is to denounce alchemy as a diabolical trick.

But since the other party is a prince, the basic etiquette still needs to be maintained, “Take me to see him, let him go when I get the letter!”

“Yes, Mr. Chief Tutor.” (To be continued. If you like this This work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
