The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

There are cursed ghosts, puppets, and undead spirits in his alchemy formula, but there is really no familiar.

"Yeah... I really didn't expect this. Maybe the learning environment is different. We have started to expose apprentices to familiar knowledge very early." Silly stirred the coffee she had just brewed with a spoon, "After all, Familiar things are really convenient, not to mention those with special abilities. Even the most common messenger familiars can help you a lot in daily life, such as helping you carry things, tidying up the room, etc. Yes, and absolutely loyal.”

"I see," Lu Lin nodded, "So, what exactly is a familiar? It's like a special puppet? And why can it help me complete resource exchanges with the school?"

"No, it's completely different," Silly shook her head. "A familiar is a creature that lives in magic. It belongs to a large category of magic creatures, similar to the non-racial 'elves'."

"They can manifest in the physical world, but their essence is still composed of magic."

"The contract that drives them is actually more similar to pure magic than a contract."

"And when you tame a familiar, it will be completely under your control just like the continuous magic you have used."

"For this reason, as long as you, the master, do not die, they will not die either. Even if they completely collapse in the material world, they will return to their magical state and recuperate."

"Then, some things in the magic world and the material world are different, such as the rules of space."

"When familiars are in a magical state, they are not at any coordinates in the material world. Therefore, theoretically they can appear anywhere in the material world."

"But please note that if there is no call from the material world, to the familiar, the entire material world is like a mess. If they want to manifest, they can only jump down with their eyes closed, not knowing where they will end up."

"The person who is the master of the familiar, as well as the chip just given to you, can become the location coordinates of the familiar's manifestation."

"Relying on this ability and the chips issued by the school, the familiar can become a messenger between you and the school, help you hand over resources to exchange contribution points, and help you purchase things from the school."

"I see," Lu Lin nodded, "Then what exactly does it mean when you just asked me to choose a suitable familiar?"

"Well, there are many types of familiars. Each familiar is good at different things and has different characteristics," Silly explained. "Some familiars may be very strong physically, but not very smart mentally."

"Some familiars may be very clever, but have little ability."

"There are also many familiars with special abilities. They may be of great help to you in special circumstances, but they are of no use at ordinary times."

"The familiar you use to communicate with the school needs to help you hand in mission reports and resources in exchange for contribution points, and help you sell things with your contribution points."

"First of all, if the familiar wants to transport goods, it needs to temporarily pull the goods to be transported into the magic world."

"The amount of cargo they can pull in is directly proportional to their upper limit of magic power, so the familiar you choose must not have too little power, and the bigger the better."

"In addition, you must understand that although the target is a school of thought, the essence of the behavior you want to perform is still a transaction."

"And transactions cannot be left to fools."

"If you let a low-IQ familiar take on the role of a trader, even though the school has regulations, it won't trick you too hard."

"But I estimate that everything you handed in must be exchanged for contribution points in accordance with the minimum standards stipulated in the regulations."

"And if you have a clever familiar, at least it can help you get some good prices in the transaction."

"Of course, I have also heard of some familiars with particularly good brains. When faced with a large deal, they can even negotiate with the academy to maximize the owner's interests."

"Speaking of which, you should understand what kind of familiar you need, right?"

After saying that, Silly took a sip of coffee.

After talking about such a long paragraph, the temperature of the coffee that was originally burning my mouth dropped to just right, just right for me to drink it to moisten my throat.

"Yeah, I understand," Lu Lin nodded, "So, how can I have my own familiar?"

Hearing these words, Silly's face immediately showed a smile.

It seemed that she had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

"Since you don't know how to do it, would you like to know more about the familiar summoning business?" Silly put down the coffee cup and said, "For only three gold coins, I will help you arrange the summons and ensure that you summon a messenger familiar with high IQ and high magic power at the same level as Stew. , if unsuccessful, no money will be collected.”

"Oh?" Lu Lin's eyes lit up.

Someone do it for you?

That feeling is good.

Although he didn't know much about the level of stewed meat, it was the familiar that Silly used after all.

If it's something for yourself, how bad can it be?

Although three gold coins are not a small amount, Lu Lin has been reluctant to sign orders recently, so it is really not short of this amount of money.

Therefore, Lu Lin immediately and decisively agreed.

Seeing that Lu Lin was so happy, Silly was also very happy and decided to immediately arrange a familiar summon for Lu Lin.

but……

Silly soon discovered that she was happy too soon.

Early the next morning, after Silly tried the last familiar summoning formation that she knew, she lay down on the chair and looked at the ceiling with a look of doubt on life.

One day and one night, she tried all thirteen kinds of familiar summoning arrays on Lu Lin several times. She summoned familiars hundreds of times in total, but all failed without exception.

Not only was she doubting life, but Lu Lin was also doubting life while sitting in the magic circle.

When summoning a familiar, he does not just stand, but feels it.

When the summoning was in progress, he could feel a torrent of magic flowing through his surroundings. Each special strand of magic should be a familiar.

but……

More than 100 times in total.

Countless familiars passed by him, but none of them were willing to stop for him.

He stretched out his hand countless times, but when those magic powers sensed his actions, they all acted like disaster stars and would avoid them immediately.

The familiars were so close to him, it felt like they were just a centimeter outside of his skin.

But those familiars were so far away from him, just this one centimeter, which seemed like an insurmountable gap. He was like a familiar insulator. No matter how hard he struggled, not a single familiar was willing to bite him.

Silly said she had never seen such a strange situation in her life.

The two of them studied for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, they could only attribute it to metaphysical reasons such as bad weather or Lu Lin's body smell because he didn't take a shower today.

But they tried it several times later, and no matter how hard they tried, the result was the same.

Lu Lin seemed to be on the blacklist of the familiar world, and all the familiars avoided him.

After a few days, both of them had completely broken their guard.

Not only did Silly make no money, but she also wasted a lot of materials.

Lu Lin was so disgusted by his familiar that he doubted his life.

He never expected, and perhaps no one would expect, that he had clearly passed the test of the Black Demon School, but because he did not have a familiar, there was no difference at all between joining and not joining.

Lu Lin couldn't figure it out.

Completely broken, he decided not to think about it anymore.

If there is no demon, then he will do the task.

At least there is still a mission to love him.

So he put all his energy into the operation of the store and the alchemy task.

Hard work paid off. After more than two months of hard work, Lu Lin finally completed the task of intermediate alchemy a thousand times.

[The Path of the Sage·The Path of Sail: Sailing through the Vast Sea of ​​Fog (Completed)]

[Task goal: Complete intermediate difficulty alchemy 1000 times (1000/1000)]

[Task Reward: The Omniscient Lens of the Three-Eyed Holy Vulture]

【Rewards are being distributed】

Seeing that the task panel that had been maintained for an unknown amount of time in the consciousness interface finally changed, Lu Lin finally showed a happy smile.

But soon, he also realized that he was happy too early.

Because when a new mission appeared, he instantly understood why he had been unable to summon his familiar.

I saw the new task saying:

[The Path of the Sage·The Road of Sail: The Beast of Loyal Guard and Escort·Stage [-]]

[Ultimate goal: Refining the first familiar]

[Stage 100 goal: Obtain 0 high-level magic stones (100/[-])]

[Mission Reward: Cady Sirens’ Forbidden Touch]

Chapter 154: Our work has always been assigned to the top

Now Lu Lin finally understood why he couldn't summon his familiar.

The position of his first familiar has already been determined by his mission.

Moreover, it seems that this task is not just for him to summon the familiar, but for him to refine the familiar.

That is to say...

He wants to create a magical creature of his own?

Although there is indeed such a form of summoning a familiar, its difficulty is much greater than that of summoning.

Lu Lin had a feeling that this task would definitely not be easy.

Ok……

Well, in fact, the first stage is already too extreme. Q group: five, four, three, six, five, nine, three, eight, nine.

Advanced Philosopher's Stone.

This is a magic stone that Lu Lin has not been able to successfully refine at present. Depending on the quality, the market price of a high-grade magic stone is generally between 20 silver coins and 30 silver coins.

Lu Lin originally relied on the tax-free policy, the passenger flow brought by his reputation, and the hard work in the past two months to make his savings exceed the forty gold coin mark. After buying these one hundred high-grade magic stones, his savings were directly wiped out. Most of it.

He finally understood that this mission did not mean he was rich.

Every time he saves some money, he is immediately squandered by new tasks.

However, the rewards are indeed pretty good.

The previous task of refining a thousand times was the task that took Lu Lin the most time to complete in history, and its reward did not disappoint Lu Lin.

Through the special lens called the "Omniscient Lens of the Three-Eyed Sacred Vulture", Lu Lin could see the status of almost everything.

For various alchemical materials or other processing raw materials, Lu Lin can tell the quality and details with just one glance.

For various objects, such as potions, even if Lu Lin did not master the relevant formula, he could tell the specific ingredients at a glance.

He can also tell the material and workmanship of ordinary objects.

As for something special like Lan Jie's knife, he can also see its effects and materials.

In addition to being used to identify items and materials, the omniscient lens can still provide great help in alchemy.

With it, Lu Lin can monitor the reaction conditions of various materials throughout the process, and know the problems and causes of refining problems at the first time. Not only can it greatly improve his learning efficiency of new alchemical formulas, but it can also greatly improve Improve the success rate of alchemy.

As for the task of collecting high-level magic stones, although the rewards are not as exaggerated as the omniscient lens, they are still quite good.

"Cadi Serens' Forbidden Touch", you may not be able to tell what it is from the name, but it is actually a black glove.

It is completely black and the material cannot be seen. It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and there is almost no obstruction.

There are complex dark patterns carved on the gloves. These dark patterns seem to form a cycle of their own, automatically absorbing the magic in the air and maintaining a lasting magic that covers the entire surface of the gloves.

This magic has only one effect, which is the so-called "forbidden".

As long as the magic is still in effect, the surface of the glove is effectively isolated from its surroundings forever.

No matter if you touch, grab, or even put your entire hand into the liquid, the surface of the glove will not actually come into contact with these things, and at the same time, the transfer of temperature and energy will be completely isolated.

In other words, as long as Lu Lin is wearing it, he will be fine even if he puts his whole hand into the lava.

This is actually a quite terrifying effect. It can ignore almost all magic attacks and can also provide certain defense against sharp weapon attacks.

But unfortunately, Lu Lin's skill is really not good enough. It only covers the area of ​​​​a glove. It is unrealistic to expect Lu Lin to use this thing to fight.

But this thing has a better use - in alchemy.

There are many kinds of materials in the world, some of which are safe, can be touched, played with, and even eaten.

But there are also many materials that are very dangerous, such as toxic, corrosive, or even constant high or low temperatures.

Naturally, these materials cannot be directly touched with the skin. If it is convenient, they can be obtained by magic or other tools. If it is troublesome, you may even need to prepare other things to suppress their properties before collecting them.

But with this glove, even if Lu Lin encounters these troublesome materials in the future, he can still grab them with his hands.
