The Last Alchemist

What is air ionization?

Neutral air molecules, for some reason, gain or lose extra free electrons, showing the phenomenon of electrical polarity.

Cosmic rays, ultraviolet light, and natural lightning can ionize the air.

Artificially generating high voltage can also cause this phenomenon.

When the air is ionized, it will change from an insulator to a conductor and become easy to conduct electricity. Lightning in nature is the path of electric current passing through ionized air.

Now, the air around Dias is ionized, which means that this guy is about to launch a lightning attack!

Lightning attacks are secretive, fast, extremely difficult to defend, and have strong attack power. The attacked person will lose combat effectiveness at best, or die on the spot at worst. It is the most commonly used attack method by magicians.

It happened in a flash.

Rosen rushed forward and blocked Baron Draco, and inserted the sharpened iron rod in his hand into the mud in front of him.

The rod is iron, which is a metal and a good conductor of electricity. One end of it is sharpened and the other end is grounded, forming a lightning rod!

It is common sense on Earth that a needle-shaped conductor is the best shape for a lightning rod.

Just in case, Rosen activated the alchemical power at the same time, trying his best to capture the air ions in the environment, so that these ions formed a conductive path above the tip of the iron rod.

Just as Rosen was doing these actions, Dias suddenly had a grim smile on his face, raised the wooden stick in his hand, and pointed the metal end at Rosen: "Go to hell! Lightning magic!"

At the same moment, Rosen felt a sudden strong force in the air, like a giant hand, frantically pulling the charged ions in the air to form a new conductive path.

Rosen's heart was startled, and he immediately realized that the situation was not good: 'Well, compete with me for charged ions and reorganize the current path? '

At the critical moment, he also used all his strength, and the alchemical power blessed by the three layers of the Friends of the Elements all burst out, snatching the charged air ions within 2 meters around his body.

In an instant, two invisible magical forces began to clash in the air, and the charged ions were pulled over and over, and the order formed by the electric field before was completely disrupted.

After only a moment of confrontation, Rosen's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, and he felt extremely exhausted.

'As expected of a formal magician, his strength is so strong, at least twice as strong as mine. His accuracy is still a little worse than mine, but much better than the previous battle in the bush. This lightning technique is a killer move, he must have practiced for a long time! '

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Even the clumsiest people, if they practice a move for a long time, will reach a level that ordinary people can hardly reach. For magicians, the flash technique is a very effective means of attack. It is the capital for survival in troubled times, and they must practice it diligently.

In contrast, Rosen's strength is insufficient, and he has not practiced it specifically. As soon as the two sides fought, he inevitably fell into a disadvantage.

After the two sides fought for about three minutes and one second, Dias gained an absolute advantage in the battle for charged ions!

He controlled most of the charged ions. In the air, a conductive ion channel is rapidly forming. One end of this channel is the tip of the wooden stick in Dias's hand, and the other end is Rosen's forehead. Once the channel is completed, as long as Dias releases a strong current, the current will be directly transmitted to Rosen along this channel, even if there is a lightning rod.

'Not good, I am not an opponent in a head-on confrontation. '

At the critical moment, Rosen suddenly squatted down, raised his hand, and waved his sleeves to dispel the air ions connected to his forehead. At the same time, he quickly lowered his head and leaned his forehead on his arm, which was connected to the sharpened iron rod.

Almost at the same time, a flash of light appeared on the metal tip of the wooden stick in Dias's hand.

'Snap! '

'Snap! '

'Snap! '

Three deafening explosions suddenly appeared in the air, which was really a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

Lightning bolts as thick as chopsticks and shaped like branches appeared in the air at the same time. The lightning started at the tip of Dias's wooden stick and ended at Rosen's sleeve. Then, without stopping for a moment, it quickly turned and jumped into the sharpened iron rod and flowed into the earth.

After three lightning strikes, the pliers were struck red by lightning, and the tip even showed signs of melting, while Rosen just shivered and could not see anything unusual.

The principle is very simple, because at the last moment, Rosen changed his position and formed a simple parallel circuit with the sharpened iron rod.

This parallel circuit has an insulating cotton cloth on one side and an iron rod that is a good conductor of electricity on the other side, and its resistance is more than ten orders of magnitude less than that of the cotton cloth. According to Ohm's law, most of the current will inevitably flow away from the iron rod.

The remaining traces will naturally not cause any harm to Rosen.

After the three high-energy currents were released, the ionized air around Dias' body dissipated instantly, which means that the electric field has disappeared and the energy stored in the wooden stick in his hand has been exhausted.

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief and stood up as if nothing had happened.

"The iron rod broke my magic!" Diaz lost his mind and was almost stunned.

This lightning technique was his ultimate move. He practiced it for 10 years. It was extremely fast and powerful. Ordinary monsters would be paralyzed and temporarily lose their combat effectiveness if hit. If the target was a human, he could send the opponent to heaven directly.

In the past 10 years, he used lightning to kill at least 30 opponents without any mistakes. However, he did not expect that in the small town of Sunderland, his most confident killer was broken by an ordinary iron rod.

This is simply unbelievable!

Until then, Baron Draco finally reacted. He glared at Dias and roared like a brown bear: "Diaz, you are so brave!"

Anne was also there, standing behind Mary when the lightning appeared.

When the electric light flashed, she was startled and her reaction was slow for a moment. After seeing that Rosen was safe and sound, she immediately picked up the hand crossbow, cocked it, took aim, and there was a "crash" sound, and a crossbow arrow was aimed at Diaz's heart. flew over.

"Dang~" There was a crisp sound, and the crossbow arrow hit the chest of the thick cowhide robe. The arrow penetrated in and seemed to hit some metal protection.

This awakened the distraught Diaz.

He glanced at Annie, took a quick step back, reached into his pocket, took out a medicine bottle, and slammed it on the ground. There was a "chi" sound, and a cloud of irritating white smoke appeared in the air.

Rosen smelled it and felt extremely uncomfortable in his throat. He couldn't help but want to cough. He immediately held his breath and retreated quickly: "Back away, it's highly toxic phosphorus smoke!"

Anne had already drawn her sword and rushed forward. After discovering the white smoke, she immediately covered her mouth and nose and hesitated in her steps.

At this moment, a dim white light appeared in the white smoke.

At the same time, Rosen, who was closest to the white light, felt his head was slightly dizzy and his steps were unsteady: 'What's going on? Am I poisoned? ’

After a moment, he realized that it was not his problem, but the gravity imbalance of the environment.

He was startled and immediately reacted: "It's teleportation magic, Dias wants to escape!"

Teleportation magic is the best escape magic for magicians. High-level magicians can cast it with their bare hands, and ordinary magicians can also use various magic weapons to assist in casting spells.

Dias's strength obviously did not reach the point where he could teleport with his bare hands. He must have borrowed some magic weapon.

Sure enough, when the white smoke dissipated, the garden was empty, and Diaz was no longer there.

Baron Draco looked unwilling: "He just ran away?"

Rosen didn't say anything. He walked to the place where Dias disappeared, squatted down, and carefully examined the traces on the ground. There was a broken medicine bottle on the ground, and a small piece of dim crystal fragment, with many strange lines engraved in the fragment.

He fell into deep thought: "Presumably this is a teleportation crystal. Since it can interfere with gravity, it must have opened a space channel. On Earth, to do this, a space wormhole must be opened, which requires an incredible amount of negative energy. . But here, only a small crystal is needed. What is the principle? "

Annie came over and asked, "How's it going?"

The voice interrupted Rosen's thoughts. He put away the teleportation crystal and said, "To achieve this type of transmission, there must be a beginning and an end. The teleportation crystal is activated here, and there must be a receiving magic array at the other end of the transmission. If I guessed correctly, , this receiving magic array should be in Caopo Village."

When the baron heard this, he immediately said: "I will immediately send people to Caopo Village to arrest him!"

He now hates Dias to the extreme. This bastard deceived him for a year without telling him anything. In the end, for his own benefit, he actually tried every means to prevent him from obtaining the healing potion. In the end, he even wanted to kill Rosen.

Rosen has the medicine for rosacea on hand. If he dies, he, the baron, will not survive!

This is already his life and death enemy!

He turned around and called for the guards.

Rosen said hurriedly: "Uncle, Diaz is still very dangerous. When arresting, don't get close and use long-range bows and arrows as much as possible."

"Understood!" Draco nodded.

The baron walked to the yard and gave a few instructions, and 10 guards rushed out of the baron's house on horseback. Then the baron returned to the garden. After seeing Rosen, he rubbed his hands and asked, "Rosen , that medicine"

If his illness is not cured, he will really feel uneasy.

Rosen smiled and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I can help you with treatment at any time."

The baron breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then do it now."

Rosen nodded and said to Anne first: "Take Sister Mary and little Alice back to the courtyard first. Oh, by the way, don't live in the wine cellar, just stay in the room."

After hearing this, Baron Draco waved his hand: "There is no need to go back. The town has not been very stable recently. You all can live in my house. I have many rooms here. Matt, hurry up and arrange a room."

"Yes, Master."

Since the Baron was so generous, Rosen naturally had no objection. He patted the pocket containing the syringe and said, "Uncle, let's go. I will treat you now."
