My Endless Life

The changes on the front line are not big, but not small either.

Since England was defeated, Uno has not made much movement. Perhaps it is because of the vast sea and the fact that Uno's fleet is not particularly strong, so it did not launch a counterattack against England.

No matter which one it is, England is relieved.

At least Uno, who defeated England's fleet with overwhelming force, has not come to cause trouble for the time being.

But it is obvious that they are relieved a little too early.

Just a week ago, the Ship Federation announced an alliance with Uno and began to launch an offensive against the border of England.

In fact, Li Qi was also very surprised about this.

He came to England from the Ship Federation and was very clear about the situation inside Ship.

This is a multi-ethnic united country with at least three different beliefs and forces in it that are restraining and arguing with each other. Therefore, the Ship Federation is often in war.

Because of this, even if he is close to England and Uno, no one on both sides regards him as an opponent.

But now, the Ship Federation suddenly unanimously agreed to deal with England.

It is hard not to wonder if Uno did something.

Li Qi guessed that it was probably because of seeing the power of Uno that the Ship Federation chose not to wait and see and remain neutral.

The world situation is becoming more and more tense now. If it continues to remain neutral, I am afraid that the Ship Federation will no longer exist.

The Ship Federation's participation in the war is just the beginning. The four countries of Farol, Uno, England, and the Ship Federation are now at war, which has also made the world situation more tense.

There are almost small frictions between each country. Even countries that have not been at war before have to be involved in this battle now.

What's more, each of these four countries has its own colonies and dependencies.

So...

"World War."

Standing inside the fence of the academy, looking at the crowd holding signs outside to mobilize and march, Li Qi said to himself.

This is the world war in this world, the First World War.

Originally, the dispute was between Farol and Uno. After the magic orb was developed and England chose to join the war, it began to run wildly in an uncontrollable direction.

Now, all countries have no choice but to participate in this war.

World war is inevitable, and the world situation is becoming more and more tense.

Even England's capital, Lankana, has been affected.

This time, they no longer target Uno, but launch a march against the Ship Federation, wanting the country to punish the Ship Federation.

Because England is powerful and sacred and cannot be violated!

This is also the reason why Lisa doesn't let Li Qi go out easily. She is worried that Li Qi will be affected by this atmosphere and participate in things he shouldn't participate in.

However, Lisa's worries are a bit redundant.

"Hehe, I won't get involved in these things. It's better to continue studying my alchemy."

Withdrawing his eyes from the crowd passing by outside, Li Qi turned around without any hesitation and went to Deren's residence in Huangyuan to study alchemy.

Because nothing can be difficult for Li Qi in terms of magic, most of his energy has now been transferred to alchemy.

For example, the glasses he is wearing at this moment are one of the alchemy products made by Li Qi himself.

It is attached with telescopic and tracking spells, which is a good little prop.

Although it is a bit useless for Li Qi, it can still help him in learning alchemy.

Perhaps it is the reverse influence of science, most of the props made by Derian have some scientific shadows on them.

In addition to magic props such as potions, Derian especially likes to add gear structures to some magic props with special abilities.

Most magic props are very small, which leads to a very precise gear structure. Without some auxiliary means, it is difficult to see the structure inside clearly.

Li Qi's glasses came into being. Similarly, Derian's monocle also has the same ability.

All for the purpose of better studying alchemy.

Compared with the progress of magic, Li Qi's progress in alchemy is relatively slow.

Currently, he can only make first-level props.

This does not mean that Li Qi's talent in alchemy is poor. On the contrary, his talent is pretty good.

The real reason for his slow progress is that alchemy has too much theoretical knowledge.

This is not a subject that can go far simply by relying on magic talent. If you don't understand the relevant knowledge, no matter how talented you are, you can't learn alchemy.

Li Qi spent a long time memorizing the basic knowledge of alchemy given to him by Deren and Joe. It was also during this period that Deren began to teach Li Qi alchemy in person instead of letting Joe replace him.

"The essence of alchemy is conversion."

In class, Deren said to Li Qi:

"Combine one or several things that we don't need and convert them into what we need. This is alchemy.

"If there is no alchemy, even if you are given a thousand-year-old dragon blood grass, you can only watch it, but you can't convert it into a recovery potion.

"Without alchemy, even if you get the lightning strike wood, you can't turn it into a staff, change, transform, and use it. When you understand these principles and master the key, you can call yourself an alchemist. Master."

Derien was teaching Li Qi very seriously, and also taught Li Qi several special alchemy spells.

Two apprentice-level spells, Identify and Extract.

And a formal level spell, the combination spell.

Identification can identify known objects and analyze their age and characteristics.

The extraction technique can extract the essence of a part of an object, making it easier to perform alchemy.

As for the combination technique, you can combine the extracted essence of objects in a special way to finally get the desired props.

There are higher-level spells after these spells, but those are things that third-level mages and tactical-level mages need to master.

Apprentice-level and formal-level magicians and great magicians only need to master these to become an alchemist.

And these spells are exactly in line with what Derien said.

Change, transform and exploit.

After explaining the key points of alchemy that must be repeated in every class, Derien asked Li Qi about his homework after last class:

"By the way, I asked you to make a prop last time. Did you make it?"

"It's done."

Li Qi pushed up his glasses, then took out a small cylindrical object from the mage's robe and placed it in front of Derien.

Derien was stunned for a moment after seeing the small cylinder: "...I remember that the last homework was for you to make a lighting lamp? This is..."

"Portable lighting."

Li Qi said seriously, turning on the switch on the cylinder, and then the glass lens above the cylinder lit up, and the blazing white light shone on the wall.

This is actually a flashlight.

Or to use its scientific name, portable lighting device.

Derion gave Li Qi the method of making a lighting lamp, and Li Qi slightly changed the size and shape, turning it into the current 'flashlight'.

Derien blinked and looked at it with the flashlight, then looked up at Li Qi, nodded and said:

"Okay, it's not the same, but you're qualified."

Portable lights are everywhere in England.

Li Qi's 'invention' was really nothing. At most, it was more portable than those lanterns hanging around the waist.

Derien gave Li Qi this assignment to test his hands-on ability.

Now that he has passed the exam, Derien simply proceeds to the next step of teaching.

He put an improved magic weapon on the table, and then said to Li Qi:

"Today we have only one lesson, dismantle it, understand its structure, and tell what spells were used to make it."

Derien said, pushing the magic weapon in front of Li Qi.

Li Qi looked at the yellow orb shining in the light and remained silent.

This thing looks... a bit like a magic orb.
