The Defeated Dragon

Books of magic are not the same as novels of chivalry.

Knight novels are storybooks created by down-and-out aristocrats in order to earn living expenses for a wide range of readers, pursuing fun, refreshing and bizarre.

Magic books are very similar to papers, mainly research reports and experimental notes of magicians.

Most of the magic books are very poorly readable, some are even upside down, and the logic is confusing. Moreover, the printing quality is relatively poor. Even many magic books are circulated in manuscripts, and not many people are willing to buy them. Naturally, there is no money to send them to publishers for printing.

Fifty-six magic books sent by Elkeson.

Twenty-one of them are manuscripts.

Diary of Refinement of Eighteen Kinds of Red Viper Venoms from Red Viper Island Slit Truth, is this kind of book really worth reading? He looked at the manuscript in his hand, feeling a bit at a loss, such a book The book actually cost two silver coins, Forget it, just treat it as buying an instruction manual on snake venom.

After turning a few pages, he lost his patience and stuffed the book into the jewel space.

Proceed to the next manuscript.

Fredo's Fireball, this is a book about how to release fireball and improve the craft of fireball. The author, Fredo Truth, turned out to be just a magic apprentice, and the only magic he knew was fireball. The book records that in order to expand his fireball technique, he tried more than one hundred spellcasting directions.

In the end, he completed the improvement of the fireball technique so that the fireball technique can be rubbed out through the back of the hand.

He called this improvement an epoch-making progress, and believed that he would surely promote the arrival of the magical age.

Unfortunately, this is a second-hand book, and there is another magician's reflections at the back of the book. The magician left a taunt in disdain: When you become an advanced magician, you will understand that any part of the body can be used as a medium for casting spells. The only difference is that the palm of your hand can cast spells faster.

So this book is a negative textbook? Liszt was quite speechless, and threw it directly into the gem space.

After flipping through them back and forth, most of the manuscript magic books are rather weird experimental content, which are of little value and are more suitable to be used as table legs.

When he turned to the last manuscript, he raised his eyebrows.

The title of the book is Kennedy's Alchemy Diary.

Another alchemy diary! Liszt instantly remembered the treasure of the shipwreck he had obtained,

In the box at the beginning, there was also an alchemy diary, which seemed to be called Rudolph's Alchemy Diary, and it also had a handwritten snake script on the cover. It seems that it is also a manuscript magic book.

Concentrating his emotions, he began to look through the diary.

The author is a newly advanced magician. He uses many methods to guide the magic power, trying to turn a stone into gold under the influence of magic power. For this reason, he even melted his only seven gold coins. In order to observe the difference between gold coins and stones, he still failed to research the method of turning stones into gold.

Therefore, this is also a negative teaching material that keeps failing.

After closing the book, Liszt got up directly, went to the Flame Valley workshop, and found Elkeson: Do all magicians like to study alchemy?

Erkeson put down his work and explained: Baron Liszt, the triangle theory is a truth recognized by magicians, so we always hope to find the most direct evidence to prove the authenticity of this theory. Turn stone into gold That's the best evidence.

why?

Because the process of turning stone into gold can be decomposed into two sets of steps. First, the material stone is transformed into spirit with the help of magic power, and then the spirit is transformed into material gold with the help of magic power. Therefore, turning stone into gold will strictly verify the triangle theory. Correct, this is one of the ideals that we magicians pursue all our lives.

In that case. Liszt felt a little conflicted, Has the research on turning stone into gold been successful?

I don't know, but many magicians believe that there were real alchemists in ancient times who could turn stones into gold.

Why do you have to choose the touchstone to turn it into gold? If you want to verify the triangle theory and refine the properties of other items, isn't it also possible?

Elkeson smiled: Baron Liszt, your understanding may be wrong. Alchemy is just a general term, and Midas is one of the most popular. Because we magicians need a lot of money to do experiments, so we all like to study some Stone into gold, want to get enough wealth.

He spread his hands helplessly: But it's not that no one has refined other items, it's just that none of them have succeeded... When I first became a magician, I chose to study alchemy, but finally gave up.

Understand roughly what alchemy is all about.

A little disappointed, Liszt then asked: So, many magicians will create an alchemy diary?

Yes.

Okay, you continue to work, I won't bother you. He was just about to go out, and turned around again, Have you studied the bone fragments I gave you?

I haven't had time to study it yet.

Study it as soon as possible, I am very curious about this kind of fragment.

Of course, as long as I have free time. He shook the crystal tube in his hand, which meant that he needed to make the Flame Valley magic potion first.

...

Back at the castle, Liszt sighed.

Because of the decay of Rudolph's Alchemy Diary, the knot in his heart disappeared. It turns out that magicians like to tinker with alchemy and write alchemy diaries.

If it is really refined, it will not be circulated in the form of manuscripts.

That magician will suddenly become a sacred and inviolable existence in the hearts of all magicians, standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun. I'm afraid that the dragon knights will fight for him.

The knot dissipated.

Although he was relaxed for a while, it also showed that alchemy is probably just a fancy imagination.

Countless magicians have studied alchemy one after another, but in the end they did not get any useful information, which shows the difficulty of alchemy, and getting rich overnight is still a dream.

For him, it also meant the shattering of dreams.

After struggling for a while, he quickly adjusted his mentality: Forget it, I'm not a magician, I study alchemy. He threw Kennedy's Alchemy Diary into the gem space.

Move on to the next magic book.

The manuscripts have been read, and the rest are printed copies.

There are three possibilities for printed magic books. One is that the author is rich and prints at his own expense; the other is that the book is valuable and the magician is willing to buy it; the other is that the book is interesting and the noble is willing to buy it.

Wild Fairy Bug Market Selling Price, Blind Windblade Wolf King, How to Safely Pass through the Midoro Mangrove Forest, Karik Truth from the Highland White Tower...

These magic books are obviously of much better quality than manuscripts.

Liszt picked up the Wild Elf Insect Market Selling Price and read it with gusto. The magician who wrote the book lived in the Iron City, the capital of the Iron Ridge Kingdom. There is a big wild elf trading market there, and magicians go to the market every day to observe those wild elves.

Interesting, a Venus Venus flytrap is sold for 3,600 gold coins. The reason is that the supply of Venus Venus Venus Flytraps is in short supply in the Steel City.
