The Last Alchemist

When Rosen rushed to the glass shop again, the shop assistant was about to close the shop, so Rosen immediately ran over: "Hey~ Wait~ Wait~"

The assistant already knew Rosen, so he stopped what he was doing and turned around to shout into the shop.

After a while, the fat white man Savi ran out with a fat body. When he saw Rosen, his face was full of smiles: "Master, why are you here?"

Rosen smiled and said: "I came to buy something from you."

Savi waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, what are you buying? In my small shop, if you like anything, just take it directly from me."

"Really?"

"Really." Savi patted his chest.

"I want your glass blowing iron pipe." Rosen smiled.

"." Savi's expression froze instantly. After several seconds, he laughed dryly: "Master, this blowpipe is my livelihood. Let me tell you, it's not easy to make this thing. You must first make a model with heat-resistant clay, and then burn molten iron to pour it. It's very troublesome. I begged old man Kraven for a long time and spent 200 ronds before he agreed to make one for me. Just this one took more than half a month."

Rosen certainly knew that this thing was troublesome. Seamless steel pipes were not produced in this era, and there was no welding process, let alone machine tools. Metal processing basically depends on manpower. If a waterwheel is used, it is already high-tech.

Here, if you want a seamless iron pipe, you can only use model casting, and because the demand is small, there are very few blacksmiths who can do this craft.

He also knew that this would be a bit embarrassing for Savvy, so he thought for a while and said, "I see your iron pipe is more than one person long. I don't want the whole thing, just a section from my forearm to my fingertips. Is that okay?"

Savi thought about it and nodded reluctantly, "Okay. As long as I can cut it, you can take it away."

There are no hacksaws or high-temperature gas cutting these days, so it is a very difficult job to cut an iron pipe evenly.

Rosen didn't know what to do for a moment. He walked into Savvy's glass shop and walked towards the backyard workshop: "Let's go, I'll think of a way."

Entering Savvy's studio, Rosen picked up the glass blowpipe and took a look. The pipe was black and gray, with a lot of rust on the surface. The outer diameter was about 3 cm, and the inner diameter was only a little more than 1 cm. The wall thickness was nearly 6 mm, and the thickness was not very uniform, and the inner diameter was not purely round.

After taking a few glances and sensing it with alchemical power, Rosen had a clear understanding of the iron pipe: ‘Ordinary gray cast iron, with a carbon content of more than 3%, is cast once without any heat treatment, and has multiple cavities inside. It is not a big problem to use it as a blowpipe, but if it is used as a gun barrel, it will definitely explode and must be processed again. How should I cut it off? ’

Rosen looked at the furnace for melting glass, and his eyes suddenly lit up: ‘There is a way. ’

He immediately said: “Savi, light it.”

“Okay.” Savi also wanted to see what Rosen would do.

He added charcoal and pulled the blower, and soon the fire was burning.

Rosen put on heat-insulating cowhide gloves, placed the place where he wanted to cut off in the hottest place in the furnace, and waited for a few minutes, and the iron pipe was burned red.

Seeing this, Savi understood: "Master, do you want to melt the iron pipe? No, this furnace is not hot enough. In Sunderland, only Kraven's iron furnace can melt molten iron." Rosen interrupted him: "Keep pulling the bellows." As he spoke, he activated his alchemical power and gathered a large amount of oxygen at the air inlet of the bellows. With the blessing of the second-level elemental friend, his ability to gather oxygen has doubled compared to before in the cave, and the air intake of the bellows is far less than that of the cave. With this increase and decrease, the result is that the bellows inhale almost pure oxygen. "Huh~" The charcoal fire in the furnace suddenly turned white, emitting a dazzling white light, and the temperature soared. "Ah~~" Savi thought he saw a ghost, and was so scared that he squatted on the ground, forgetting to pull the bellows, and the flame in the furnace weakened again. "Don't stop, keep going."

Savi got up trembling, staring at the stove with his eyes, and pulled the bellows fearfully: "Master, did you just summon the fire element with magic?"

Rosen saw Savi's frightened face, and he felt a bad taste in his heart. He nodded and said solemnly: "That's right. Now, there is an activated flame in the stove. It has a very bad temper. You have to serve it carefully. If it gets angry, we will all suffer."

"Ah~" Savi's forehead broke out in a cold sweat: "Grand Master, what should I do? How can I serve this lord well?"

While speaking, Savi's legs were shaking uncontrollably. It looked like he wanted to kneel on the ground and pull the bellows.

Rosen suppressed his laughter and said with a straight face: "Don't panic, just do as I say. I know the temper of the activated fire element very well. Okay, keep pulling the bellows."

"Okay, okay." Savi was extremely obedient and pulled the bellows very hard, fearing that he would not serve the "activated flame" in the furnace well.

With his efforts, the charcoal fire became pure white again, and the temperature soared to nearly 1800 degrees.

Under the incandescent flame, the red part of the iron pipe only lasted for more than ten seconds, and began to melt like a candle, dripping molten iron into the furnace.

Seeing this, Savi couldn't help but admire: "What a powerful activated flame, Master, look, it is actually swallowing molten iron."

"Well~ It's really powerful." Rosen muttered.

He began to do two things at once, pouring oxygen while using alchemical power to move the melted iron at the fracture to make the port flat.

After moving a little bit, Rosen's forehead was covered with sweat: 'Iron is really heavy! '

In the melted state, although the metal bonds in the iron are weakened a lot, they are still effective. The evidence is that the high-temperature molten iron is still conductive. At the same time, the density of iron is much higher than that of the solution, and it is more difficult to move.

As a result, Rosen's efficiency in moving the molten iron using alchemical power is not as good as one-tenth of the efficiency of moving the ions in the solution, and the speed is very slow.

It only took more than ten seconds for the iron to melt, but it took Rosen more than two minutes to close the fracture with alchemical power. After finishing, he got a cast iron pipe about 40 cm long, and his underwear was soaked with sweat again.

At this moment, his mind suddenly shook, and then a message appeared in his vision.

'Ding~Ding~ Talent proficiency increased to 100%, and it has been automatically converted into free talent points. Do you want to use it? ’

Rosen was overjoyed and immediately said in his heart: ‘Use it.’

The brain shook again, and then a stream of heat exploded from the depths of his mind. In an instant, Rosen felt the temperature of his head rise sharply, accompanied by a burning pain, as if there was a flame burning in his brain.

The pain lasted for more than ten seconds, and then disappeared abruptly.

“Talent upgrade completed, currently activating the third level of elemental friends, elemental perception increased by 300 points, elemental control ability increased by 300 points.”

Rosen raised his hand and tried his best to control the air around him to start rotating.

‘Whoosh~whoosh~’

The wind whistled up, the sound was very loud, just like a whistle, the airflow hit the skin, immediately knocked out a very obvious pit, and could feel a clear tingling sensation.

‘Not bad, not bad. ’Rosen was very satisfied.

Savi, who was standing aside, was startled by the strange phenomenon in Rosen’s hand. After swallowing his saliva, he looked at Rosen with more awe.

Rosen ignored him and turned his attention to the long iron rod again. The broken end of the long iron rod had not been smoothed yet, and a ball of molten iron like a melted candle was hanging on the end.

Looking at the molten iron, Rosen's heart moved slightly: 'I already have a glass syringe for injection, but the syringe has no needle. Now I have molten iron, just in time to get a few needles. '

Needles are everywhere on Earth, but in this world, they are also high-end goods that cannot be bought with money, so Rosen can only make them himself.

Do it when you think of it.

The alchemical power wrapped around the molten iron, pulling, kneading, and shaping. After dozens of seconds, a simple metal needle appeared above the flame.

With the support of the three-layer elemental friend, Rosen felt very relaxed, and the sluggish feeling when operating the molten iron before was greatly reduced: "Not bad, not bad, my strength is getting stronger and stronger!"

Another drop of molten iron was about to drip from the iron pipe, and Rosen's alchemical power immediately entangled it, kneaded it, and formed it. It only took 6 seconds, and the speed became much faster. The needle was also more delicate than before.

This time, Rosen felt very calm and had a sense of control at will.

He got excited: "One more!"

Soon, the third one was also formed. When it came to the fourth needle, Rosen suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, and his body had a slight feeling of exhaustion.

'Oh no, I'm exhausted. '

Rosen immediately gave up the fourth needle that was being formed, and stopped gathering oxygen into the furnace.

Without the blessing of oxygen, the color of the burning charcoal quickly returned to normal.

The fat white man asked cautiously: "Master, has the Activated Flame left?"

Rosen rested for a while, and the dizziness disappeared. After putting away the iron pipe and metal needle, he nodded: "Yes, it left. It is very satisfied with your service. Mr. Savi, just wait, it will repay you well."

Savi waved his hands repeatedly: "No need to repay, no need to repay, it is my great honor to serve such a powerful existence."

"Well, then I'll leave."

"Master, I'll see you off."

"No need. See you tomorrow."

After getting what he wanted, Rosen happily left the glass shop, whistling all the way, and walked back to the direction of his yard.

As he walked, Rosen suddenly felt as if a shadow flashed in front of him very quickly. He was surprised: 'What is it, so fast? '

No one answered.

Just when Rosen was in doubt, he heard a faint sound of wind behind him. A moment later, he felt someone grab his collar from behind. Then, his whole body was lifted into the air. In less than half a second, the roofs of the wooden houses on both sides of the street were all under his feet.

"What happened? Who has such great power? Is it Annie playing a prank on me? Impossible, Annie is not such a person, and she is not so fast."

"Who is behind me?!"

In addition, the talent upgrade has been slightly modified.
