Wizard: I can refine everything

Alchemy is a complicated skill. Whether it is magic equipment, magic potions, synthetic beasts, or magic arrays, these things require multiple skills to be used together to get the best results.

This requires not only enough patience and carefulness from the wizard, but also the wizard's ability to adapt to changes and even have a flash of inspiration when making.

After purchasing the tools, Richard hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign at the door.

The production process of the "Pale Mask" was not complicated in his opinion, but he still treated it with 200% seriousness.

Because it was not a skull purchased directly, Richard had to deal with the snake head of the black-striped water python first.

Soak the head of the black-striped water python in a special alchemical solution for twelve hours, and after taking it out, the flesh and blood attached to the skull can be almost cleaned. Then repeat the soaking with the same alchemical solution and repeat the same steps until the skull is cleaned without any flesh and blood.

When soaking the skull, Richard did not waste time.

Grind the inferior wind-patterned stone needed to make the pale mask into powder, then mix it with the carbon powder burned from the ten-year demon wood in proportion, add 500 grams of clean water, let it stand for three hours, and extract the clear liquid.

This is the cartilage water used to soften the skull.

Then, mash the sticky mushroom into a paste and mix it with the poisonous bauhinia ink to get the ink for drawing alchemical runes.

This step is very dangerous.

The poisonous bauhinia ink is very easy to evaporate, and the volatile poisonous bauhinia ink is very toxic. When the sticky mushroom and the poisonous bauhinia ink are mixed, once there is a slight mistake in the proportion, a huge amount of heat will be generated.

For the safety of himself and his neighbors, Richard had to rent a site in the test area for mixing.

This is another additional expense.

After the preparations were ready, Richard soaked the skull of the black-striped water python in the cartilage water for an hour to soften it.

The skull is the main material of the mask, and it is easy to shape after softening.

The softened black-striped anaconda skull had a texture somewhat like plasticine, and Richard easily turned the skull into a pale mask.

Then it was the most critical step.

In general magic suits, engraving spells is often the most critical step, but the pale mask is the exception. The most difficult part is drawing the magic conduction circuit. Richard needs to use magic thread with black mercury to draw the magic conduction circuit inside the skull. Once the road is deviated or the magic fluctuates, the mask becomes a waste.

But because Richard has refined Joe Lord's skills, he can be said to be familiar with magic control. He only took ten minutes to complete this step.

"Huh, the rest is to engrave runes."

Richard carefully opened the previously configured ink and began to engrave runes on the back of the mask with a feather pen.

In the feather pen, magic reacts with alchemical ink, and this reaction causes the feather pen to deform, so every time a rune is engraved, Richard needs to replace it with a new feather pen.

The magic engraved on this mask is a first-level spell, intimidation, which has the effect of deterring the enemy and is a spiritual attack.

If a low-level apprentice is suddenly attacked by intimidation, he will lose consciousness instantly. If he is a little timid, he may even urinate and poop or even faint on the spot.

After engraving the spell, Richard wiped the sweat from his head.

Up to now, he has spent four days to make this mask. The whole process went very smoothly. The quality is not exquisite, but at least it is on the passing line.

This result should be enough to pass the exam.

"But why is this thing so brittle?" Richard touched the mask. It seems that because the owner of the skull he used was not an adult, the mask did not have the hardness described in the design drawing. Instead, it felt like it would break if it was bent.

"Let's strengthen the texture of the entire magic array, otherwise the mask will be broken if it gets bumped."

...

"You did it pretty quickly." Chucks looked at Richard with some surprise while holding the wine flask, "It took me two weeks to make this thing, and I failed once in the middle."

"This... maybe I'm lucky, I succeeded in one try." Richard scratched his head and smiled shyly.

He didn't cheat this time, and he did all the steps by himself.

"Incredible, incredible. Senior Sister is right, you are indeed a genius in alchemy." Chucks praised, "Then from today on, we are brothers, and you can come to me if you have any small problems in the future. Although what I learned is unconventional, I still have the basics."

Richard nodded, he naturally knew the disadvantages of working in isolation.

After a few more pleasantries, a burst of footsteps came into Richard's ears from far to near.

Bang.

Anna pushed the door open and walked in. Today, Anna was dressed differently from before. She had changed her wizard robe into a black outfit similar to a tights, showing off her hot body.

"Are you done?" Anna stared at Richard with her phoenix eyes.

"I'm done. This is the finished product."

Richard waved the bag containing the mask at Anna.

Feeling the faint fluctuations of magic in the bag, Anna's face did not change, but she was relieved in her heart.

She was not wrong. Richard was indeed a genius.

"Let's go, follow me to see the instructor, Chucks, you follow too."

Arriving at the 99th floor of the Central Black Tower, Joe Lord was still sitting in front of the bookshelf, looking at the notes with a sad face.

"Failed again, what exactly is missing? Is it because the laboratory is in a bad location, which affects my luck?"

"Teacher, Richard's work is finished."

"Hmm?" Qiaoluode turned his head to look at his eldest disciple, with some confusion in his eyes.

"What Richard?"

Anna's face froze when she heard this, and she pulled Richard in front of her, saying helplessly:

"It's the Richard you met before, teacher."

"Oh, yes, you brought an apprentice here before." Qiaoluode slapped his head and suddenly remembered that Anna had brought an apprentice.

It seems that he has some talent.

Qiaoluode kept tapping his temple with his index finger and began to search for information about that day in his complicated memory.

He had too many things to remember, and a small person like Richard was really not worth remembering.

After searching for a few minutes, Qiaoluode finally remembered the scene of that day.

Anna introduced an apprentice, and he also thought that he might have talent, so he gave him a test.

But that day, he seemed to be in a bad mood because of the failed experiment, and it seemed that... he gave the wrong thing.

He should have given the design of the hidden mask, not the design of the pale mask.

Qiao Luode was a little embarrassed. How could a low-level apprentice make the Pale Mask?

The magic conduction circuit of the Pale Mask must be guided by magic and completed at one time. This has extremely high requirements for the control of magic. If the control of magic is not enough, it needs to be compensated by quantity. Generally speaking, a high-level apprentice with ordinary talent can complete the production of the Pale Mask after studying magic control.

And his two disciples, with extraordinary talents, completed the production when they were intermediate apprentices.

But the apprentice in front of him seemed to have made it.

"It should be a defective product that barely conducts magic."

Qiao Luode thought in his heart as he looked at the bag containing Richard's mask.

The quality of magic costumes is divided into four levels, namely the highest perfection, the second fine product, the third finished product, and the last defective.

Although defective magic costumes can release spells, they have great disadvantages in terms of magic consumption and spell effects. Compared with finished magic costumes, defective magic costumes consume more magic power, but the spell effects are weaker.

But even so, being able to make a magic suit of inferior quality is enough to prove the talent of the apprentice in front of him.

Joe Lord walked to Richard and tried to put on a gentle expression. After all, it was really embarrassing to give the wrong test paper.

"Don't be nervous, give me the mask."
