Chapter 14 The Mage's Eternal Pursuit

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Harbor ore warehouse area.

A high-end black-topped rental carriage travels between the grid-like warehouses.

Every time it arrives at a warehouse, the carriage will stop, and a tall "middle-aged man" in a black short robe will get off the carriage and chat with the warehouse manager for a while.

As they chat, the "middle-aged man" will buy some inconspicuous raw materials from the warehouse, not much each time, at most ten kilograms.

The middle-aged man is naturally the transformed Rosen.

While buying, he also carefully explained the mystery to the princess who knows nothing about the world.

"Every warehouse allows some normal losses, and what we buy is this part of the "loss."

"Their quality is no different from the genuine ones, but the price is at least half cheaper than the market price."

Of course, another most important reason is that these warehouse managers are his natural allies, and they will instinctively conceal these gray transactions, making it difficult to trace.

When the goddess of night completely took over the world and even the noisy harbor area fell into silence, the carriage finally stopped at the door of an empty warehouse.

Rosen packed all the raw materials collected along the way into a large wooden box, which was about more than 100 kilograms in total and cost less than 50 gold orgs.

Now, this wooden box was thrown casually by him on the side of the road.

After getting off the car, Rosen took advantage of Selena's inattention and turned back to look at the coachman.

"Go to the police station in the north temple area immediately and say that you were kidnapped by a young man and woman."

"If the director asks you about the specific process, you can say that the young man and woman forced you to send them to the city wall and flew over the city wall to the northern suburbs."

In a glance, the mind branding technique has quietly imprinted the information in the coachman's mind.

The coachman waved his whip and drove away.

Then, Rosen walked to the side door of the warehouse and knocked gently.

"Hey~ What do you do?"

A gray-haired old man walked out of the warehouse. Judging from his clothes, it can be seen that he is a warehouse manager.

Rosen smiled slightly and released telepathic suggestion in front of Selena.

"Old man, I am your distant nephew, don't you recognize me?"

The old administrator nodded in a daze: "Ah, distant nephew. Oh, you really are. It's cold outside, come in and warm up."

Rosen carried the big wooden box and took Selena into the warehouse.

When the side door of the warehouse was locked from the inside, he raised his hand and pointed at the old man: "Have a good sleep."

The old man immediately fell limp, and Rosen used the magician's hand to move him to the blanket by the wall.

Then, he took the materials and walked to the deepest part of the warehouse.

Selena followed all the way, becoming more and more puzzled.

"Rosen, are you going to use these things to make magic tools?"

"These are not magic materials."

There are more than twenty kinds of these materials.

Some are stones that painters grind to make pigments, some are stones that builders grind to paint walls, some are doctors' preservatives, and some are various unnamed oils.

There are many uses, but they have nothing to do with magic.

She couldn't figure out how these things could become powerful magic tools?

Rosen smiled and nodded: "Yes, use them."

"Okay, even if these things are useful. But this warehouse is empty, there are no alchemical tools, how can we make them?"

Rosen asked while taking out the materials from the wooden box and placing them one by one on the floor of the warehouse.

"Madam, have you read Master Crates's "Transfiguration and Alchemy"? "

"I have heard of it. It is said to be a brand new alchemy field, but I haven't had time to read it. This book is too new and the content is quite controversial."

Rosen smiled: "I have read it, and I have studied it carefully, and I have achieved some results."

This is a modest statement.

In fact, the reason why he dared to say that he had trained the best transformation ability in the future was not because of the trick of sheep turning into humans, but because he developed the transformation alchemy based on the transformation.

He didn't dare to say that this was his own original alchemy, after all, there are many wise men in the world.

But he dared to say that he must have gone the furthest in the field of transformation alchemy.

And this is also a major source of confidence for Rosen to take over the barren island.

Selena became curious: "What magical idea did Master Crates come up with?"

Rosen asked again: "Madam, let me ask you, what is the material world made of?"

"Of course it's elements."

Rosen shook his head: "This statement is very rough, but it's not wrong. Then I continue to ask, what are the elements made of?"

"Elements. Elements are precipitated from the creation ring."

When saying this, Selena's tone was very unconfident.

Obviously, she was just following the crowd.

Rosen smiled: "That's what the creation myth says. We mortals can't verify this for the time being, so there is no right or wrong."

"But Master Crates said that there are two elements in the world."

"One is the basic element. The other is the composite element produced by the combination of basic elements."

At this point, he opened his arms in a hug.

"The master believes that almost everything we see is made up of composite elements, and only a small part is made up of pure basic elements."

"As long as you understand the rules of how basic elements construct composite elements, you can obtain a part of the power of creation that originally belonged to the Creator!"

Selena frowned slightly when she heard this: "The power of creation is really arrogant. No wonder many people say that Crates is a lunatic."

Rosen did not argue: "Master Crates is indeed a bit arrogant, but his research is indeed very enlightening."

"And I have achieved some good results based on the master's work."

In fact, it is not just a few, but many, many. He has done confirmatory research on the elements of the entire periodic table.

But that is too shocking. If it is exposed without sufficient strength to guarantee it, it will only bring bad luck.

While talking, Rosen took out a dark gray, opaque gray stone with fish scale-like textures on the surface from the pile of stones. It was about the size of a goose egg.

"Please see, madam, this was originally a very ordinary piece of gray scale stone. Because of its soft texture and delicate color, it is generally used by painters to mix paints, and its value is 10 kelins."

Selena nodded: "Then what?"

Rosen covered the stone with his hands and rubbed it gently.

‘Chi chi chi chi~~’

A faint white light kept flashing in his palm, accompanied by a sound that Selena had never heard, and at the same time, a lot of powder fell from the cracks in his palm.

After about five minutes, Rosen let go.

The ugly gray scale stone is gone, but there is a light yellow crystal the size of a pigeon egg with a warm texture.

"Look, I 'transformed' it into a topaz jade of pretty good quality."

Selena was shocked and immediately picked it up to check.

The moment Huang Jingyu took it, it felt slightly hot to the touch, as if it had just been boiled in boiling water.

Its surface texture was as warm and moist as water, exactly like the topaz she remembered.

After checking its magic properties, it actually has the effect of 'weak thinking and concentration', which is enough to be used to create low-level magic weapons.

Its market price has also risen from 10 kron to more than 50 OG.

She was extremely surprised: "How did you do this?"

Rosen patted the stone powder on his hand.

"I can't explain the specific principle. In short, this is a transformation alchemy formula that I accidentally discovered."

Selena was a little distracted: "Oh~~Your achievements are enough to make the magic world crazy."

"Ma'am, it's not that exaggerated."

"This kind of transformation alchemy is difficult to master. The difficulty of casting the spell is estimated to be more than 20 stars, and it is also very mana-consuming. I also spent a long time groping and training for a long time before I succeeded."

"In addition, due to the limitations of my own abilities, most of the formulas I currently have are low-level formulas, and their value is not high."

Rosen said half-truthfully, and then picked up a milky white stone, a red stone, and a brown stone from the ground.

"Madam, do you want to experience the alchemy of transformation?"

Selena was already very curious: "How do you experience it?"

Rosen handed over three stones of different colors.

"We use the whispers of the soul to build a bridge of souls. Madam condenses the advanced transformation power, and I control this power."

"Hmm~ I've heard of the Soul Bridge technique, but I've never used it."

"I've used it before, and I'm quite skilled at it. I'll guide you."

As he spoke, Rosen walked behind Selena, opened his arms, walked around Selena's body from behind, grabbed her two hands, and asked her to hold the stone in her hands.

"Madam, do you feel the touch in your soul?" These words are whispered by the soul.

"I feel it. It's a bit like soaking in a hot spring."

Selena shrank her neck and her cheeks felt a little hot. She had never been so close to a man.

However, she didn't resist in her heart, and even felt a little happy. After all, he was her favorite lover.

"Very good, now sink into the hot spring. That's it. Now, the bridge of souls is successfully built, and you begin to condense the magical energy of transformation."

"Yes, that's it. Once the energy appears, give me the right to guide it. Yes, that's good."

"Oh~ Madam, your advanced transformation energy is powerful and pure. I have deduced several advanced alchemy formulas, and I just want to verify them now."

As Rosen spoke, he wrapped his hand around Selena's hand and gently guided her to continuously inject advanced transformation energy into the stone in her hand.

Strange movements similar to those before appeared again.

After several minutes, Rosen let go of Selena's hand.

The latter immediately opened his hands, and the three stones disappeared, but a shiny silver metal appeared in his hand.

"The soft stone turned into shining silver mithril. It's not just ordinary mithril, it's hardened mithril!"

Selena recognized the alchemical product in her hand.

Hardened mithril, a rare alchemical product, has the characteristics of being rust-free, light and strong, and also has very good magic-conducting properties. It is generally used in the creation of mid-to-high-level magic weapons.

But this is what the world says. In Rosen's eyes, this thing is an aluminum alloy.

In many years of magic experiments, he has already discovered that the basic elements of this world are basically the same as those of the earth. The biggest difference is the addition of various magic properties.

He also discovered that not only can various materials be synthesized using alchemy, but also using physical and chemical methods similar to those on Earth.

If we go one step further and integrate the two skills into one, and learn from each other's strengths, it will be a magical skill that can reach incredible heights.

Back to topic.

Rosen responded to Selena's shock with a look of joy on his face.

"I didn't expect it to be successful. It's really a blessing from Mother Nature."

He said with excitement again:

"Madam, I have deduced a total of four intermediate and high-level formulas. Let's try them one by one. If they all succeed, then we can continue to create powerful magic weapons."

"Derivation? Can you actually deduce it?"

Being able to use the known to derive new knowledge, and the new knowledge being verified as correct, shows that Rosen created and completely mastered the art of transformation alchemy!

Creating new knowledge is the eternal pursuit of the Master.

Even if he does not have the ability to create, it does not prevent the mage from admiring this kind of behavior from the bottom of his heart.

Selena is also a mage, so she is naturally shocked.

She couldn't help but turn around and look at Rosen behind her.

She looked up with her head raised, while Rosen lowered his head, and their lips brushed lightly.

‘Ah~’

Selena let out a low cry and subconsciously took two steps back. It took her a few seconds to recover.

"Rosen, your knowledge is so valuable!"

Rosen nodded excitedly.

"Madam, I was originally worried that you would have a hard time. Now that I have these alchemical formulas, I feel at ease."

Selena shook her head repeatedly with a serious look on her face: "No, no, no, you can't be so rash."

"The alchemy formula you have mastered and the method you use to derive new formulas are enough to drive all alchemists crazy."

"Once it spreads, it will definitely attract the covetousness of countless powerful people."

"It must be kept a secret for now until one day we have enough power to protect it and we can truly benefit from it!"

Rosen nodded repeatedly: "Madam, you are absolutely right."

Then he asked: "Continue refining, madam?"

"Is it still the same as before?"

"certainly."

"No problem, I think it's quite interesting."

Selena looked eager to try it out, like a child discovering a new toy.

The cheeks are also a little red, and I don't know if it's because of the excitement of discovering new knowledge or because of shyness.
