Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 378 Quattro's Secret
"The assessment will be over in 5 minutes. Do you want to leave now, or wait until the time is up?"

Ah Hao looked around the examination room upon hearing the sound.

The examination room, which was originally crowded with people, is now deserted.Only a few amateur alchemists were still stirring the stone cauldron in a hurry, trying to seize the last chance.

"what time is it now?"

The brown-skinned examiner next to Ah Hao leaned down and showed his watch to Ah Hao: "It's 56:4, oh, you only have [-] minutes left."

"I've seen someone who sleeps during the alchemy assessment, but I've never seen someone who sleeps for two hours at a time." The invigilator shook his head and stood up.

"Enough is enough, in time."

Ah Hao jumped up from the ground and pulled out the drawer in front of him.He didn't bother to distinguish slowly, and poured all his brains into the stone cauldron in front of him.

"Hey." Before the invigilator had time to leave, he subconsciously took another look at Ahao's operation.Just one look made him almost faint.

Although these materials are only the lowest level, they are also of certain value.Once disturbed by the person in front of him, he can only waste it in vain in the end.

"What are you making trouble here, why don't you go away quickly."

"Why? Don't you have 4 minutes?"

The invigilator has a poor family background and can't see such a waste.But the rules do not prevent him from preventing candidates from operating in compliance.He could only cover his eyes and turn his head away.

But the blazing flames behind him stopped his pace again.

Ahao concealedly launched a brand-new formation formation, then picked up the flint on the table and lightly bumped it, and hot flames rose from under the stone cauldron.

He gained a lot from the "Gate of Truth" trip just now, especially the time before he came out.He was forced to accept a lot of the smell of fire.Although the process was somewhat arduous, the result was that he mastered a large amount of hidden knowledge.

——About the mystery of fire.

The formation of flames he unfolded just now is the superficial manifestation of these mysteries.

This refining formation involves the decomposition of water, the accumulation of gas and the deflagration of fire.In the case of a large amount of flammable gas and combustion-supporting gas, only a small spark is needed to generate a raging fire immediately.

Ah Hao has already begun to fantasize, if he studies the depth of this knowledge in the future, will he be able to master the ability of elemental incarnation?Thor can turn into lightning and scurry around.Can he turn into a flame?

The fire was already going up, and he didn't have time to think too much.

The light of the fire is only a cover, and the medicine still needs to be made into a formation.Ah Hao spread out the extraction and refinement array under the stone crucible, and removed all the useless materials, leaving only the truly effective ingredients.

Among the [weak energy potion], there is actually only one material that can boost the spirit - [star phoenix grass].

All other materials only play an auxiliary role to help it maximize its effect.

So this is a recipe with a fairly high "fault tolerance rate".

Even if a novice alchemist is in a hurry, and the technique and temperature of the alchemy are inaccurate, it's no big deal.The potion can still be made, but the potion is less effective.

In the evaluation of the Alchemy Association, as long as the efficacy of the medicine reaches [-]% of the perfect state, it can basically pass the assessment.

Ah Hao naturally didn't know so many ways, he just tried his best to do his best.

After a while, Ah Hao extinguished the flame.The potion was poured out of the stone cauldron and placed in a wide-bellied glass bottle.

"Okay, it shouldn't be overtime." Ah Hao picked up the glass bottle and shook it, looking at the invigilator behind him with a dull expression, "Where should I hand this over?"

"Just, just give it to me." The invigilator took the glass bottle in a somewhat awkward manner.

The liquid in the bottle is a transparent orange-yellow color, and dots of stars float up and down in the liquid.

He could tell at a glance that this was a phenomenon that would only appear when the medicinal effect of [Star Phoenix Grass] was stimulated to its limit.

This potion, which was made in just 3 minutes, has 100% efficacy!
No, maybe more than 100%? !
Ah Hao stretched his waist, and relieved the discomfort caused by sitting for a long time: "Then I can go?"

"Wait, what's your name?"

"Ahao."

The invigilator picked up a pen and quickly wrote his name on the glass bottle, then took out a silver pocket watch case and handed it to Ahao.

"Here, you go to the front desk of the association to register, and you can become a first-level alchemist certified by the association."

Ah Hao took the pocket watch with some surprise: "So fast? You guys are quite efficient. I thought you guys had to do some tests and wait for the results of the assessment."

"Hehe, it's urgent. I guess you want to help solve the problem of the gold disc? Naturally, I won't deliberately trap you here."

The invigilator's attitude directly changed 180 degrees.

In the routine process, there is no link to issue Warlock certificates on the spot at all.It's just that Ahao's operation completely surprised him.

He could only guess that the young man in front of him should be an alchemist of a certain hermit school, and he also had a skill in fire magic.

The quick release of this person can help Quattro solve his predicament from a large perspective; from a personal perspective, it is also a good choice to get to know such a person.

"My name is Stanford. If you want to participate in the promotion of the second-level alchemist, you can come to me at any time."

"it is good."

Ah Hao responded casually, and then walked out of the assessment site.He has no plans for promotion for the time being, and getting admission tickets is enough.

At the exit of the venue, Luke was looking anxiously there.

"Mr. Ahao, why is it taking so long?" Luke said with a hint of worry in his tone, "Did you forget the formula?"

"That's not true." Ah Hao smiled and took out the silver pocket watch he just got. "I took a nap. I made it in the last 5 minutes."

Ah Hao has not figured out why he closed and opened his eyes until now, and two and a half hours have passed.

According to his somatosensory cognition, he will not stay in the door for more than half an hour.He could only guess that maybe he did sleep for a while afterwards.

Luke looked at the silver pocket watch with a surprised expression on his face: "So fast?" Then his expression calmed down again: "If it's you, it's not very strange."

Luke then took Ahao to complete the registration.The front desk used a strange alchemy prop to quickly finish drawing Ahao's portrait.

At this point, he can be regarded as an alchemist certified by the city.

At this time, it was still early before the two could board the golden disc, so Luke took Ahao to taste Quattro's traditional food.

Then Luke went home again to meet his parents.

Ahao rejected Luke's invitation to go home together, and visited this desert oasis city alone.

Time soon came to night.

In front of the golden disc, the dots of flames completely illuminated this tall building.There are now rows of temporary brackets on the outside of the golden disc.Some people are walking on these supports, inspecting it inch by inch, trying to see the valuable "damage".

"I have to say, coming late also has the advantage of being late."

Luke's expression was a little smug: "In the afternoon, these brackets weren't set up. People who came early couldn't see it in such detail."

"Indeed. And the golden disc is still open, which means that no one has found a way to repair it before."

Luke responded with a smile: "Is it useful to come early? The key is to rely on strength!"

The expressionless guards let them go after checking their silver pocket watches.

Luke is a second-order alchemist, and he was supposed to be there an hour ago.But Quattro's guards didn't care about this at all.

Luke took the lead and walked in front: "It feels like the guards seem to be a lot looser than in the afternoon."

"After all, it's so late."

The two walked into the support base on the left side of the disc, and its internal structure was somewhat similar to that of a lighthouse.After they climbed a section of spiral stairs, they soon reached the middle and upper part of the disc.

In front of them is a temporary and simple bridge spanning the left and right bases.

"Huh, I finally found an empty bridge, Mr. Ahao, please first?"

"Ah."

The moment he came into close contact with this huge creation, Ah Hao felt that he had received a greater impact.

Because he discovered that this "golden disc" was actually made of pure gold!

It has suffered some wear and tear on its outer surface over the years.But behind these worn surfaces, there is still a brilliant golden light.

He muttered to himself, "How many tons of gold would it take to make this?"

Luke smiled: "I heard that the gold disc used about 1000 tons of gold. It's a little less than I thought, and it probably has a lot of hollow structures inside."

"It's an exaggeration. Did the Quattro people really master the alchemy technology? I mean refining gold in the literal sense."

Ah Hao was speechless secretly, he couldn't imagine where so much gold had to be transported here.

"According to the legend, the first city lord of Quattro, who built the golden disc, did master the method of refining gold."

"The disc itself is the best evidence for this rumor."

"But apart from him, I have never heard of anyone who can refine gold purely by their own technology. There are endless scams and cover-ups in refining gold."

"Aren't you really worried that it will be stolen?" Ahao came up with a bold idea, "If I were an ambitious thief, then my lifelong wish would be to give this golden disc to the whole world." steal."

"Of course I'm afraid! Therefore, there are more security measures around the gold disc than you can imagine. Every gram of gold in this disc is actually marked by astrology."

"In history, there have been people who have bypassed numerous security guards and successfully knocked down a few pieces of gold. But they all failed to get out of Quattro alive."

Ah Hao nodded, and continued walking on the temporary bridge.

There are many secrets hidden in the golden disc, and the alchemy knowledge used is also very complicated.However, after figuring out its underlying principles, the rest of the cracking work is "just have your hands".

Ah Hao walked around and felt the structure of the disc.

His previous guess was correct.The golden disc does have two main functions of "groundwater extraction" and "water vapor collection".

But even greater doubts followed.Because he found that there is actually no problem with the gold disc, whether it is the inscription or the structure, it is in a very good condition.

The gold disc is known to be fine, but the status quo is that it has stopped working again.
Then the problem must be elsewhere.

Ah Hao suddenly turned his head, turned his back to Yuanpan, and looked at the whole city.

Quattro tonight is full of worried people.The little lights illuminated their uneasiness and also the outline of the city.

Quattro in front of Ah Hao is a circular city.

"So that's the case, I should have thought of it earlier!"

Looking at the city below, Ah Hao felt goose bumps all over his body.

The entire Quattro is a huge formation!
The golden disc is the eye of the formation and also the "water outlet".

The "water outlet" is out of water, and it is useless to check the water outlet.

Because the bad one may be the "water pipe"!
