The Last Alchemist

Rosen and Vincent signed a formal wand contract, and then he returned to the Prancing Pony Mansion.

Along the way, thoughts were rushing through his mind, and the inspiration that suddenly appeared before seemed to be a catalyst, spawning a series of novel ideas.

"What is a wand?" he asked himself.

To ordinary people in this world, it is a magician's spell-casting weapon.

But if we carefully examine it and use scientific thinking to explain it, then the essence of the wand should be a tool for energy conversion.

The key lies in the four words ‘energy conversion’.

"Energy conversion. The most common thunder wand, which releases flash, is to convert energy into electrical energy. The flame wand, which releases fire breath or fireball, is to convert energy into heat and light energy. Regardless of whether the thunder wand or the flame wand, the other The attack magic released contains huge energy."

"Energy cannot be created out of thin air. This energy is either provided by the magician or stored in the wand."

"Ordinary thunder wands need to be charged before they can be used. Obviously, the energy during attack is provided by the wand, and the magician is only responsible for stimulating and controlling the release of energy. In this way, using the wand can greatly reduce the burden on the magician , and can speed up the casting speed.”

Thinking of this, Rosen already knew the basic structure of the wand.

"To achieve this function, a standard wand must contain three components, namely an energy storage, a controller, and an energy converter."

"I want to build a wand that ordinary people can use. The energy storage and energy converter do not need to be modified. The only change is the controller. What I want to do is to lower the threshold for using the controller."

Rosen's thinking became clearer: "Hey~ Magic wands that ordinary people can use have a price but no market. Let me set the price. Now I'm going to make a fortune."

The carriage gurgled toward the Prancing Pony Mansion. Rosen stayed in the carriage, holding a quill in his hand, and began to draw a sketch of the wand on the parchment.

When the carriage arrived at its destination and stopped at the entrance of the mansion, Rosen opened the carriage and jumped out with a smile on his face.

The butler came up to him and saluted, "Sir."

The housekeeper's name is Ah Fu. He is over 50 years old and has no children. He has been a housekeeper all his life, including 20 years serving the Prancing Pony Mansion. Rosen saw that he had a loyal and honest character and was getting older, so he continued to use it.

Rosen nodded in return and asked, "Where is Ms. Veronica?"

"I'm painting in the studio on the second floor." Ah Fu responded.

"Where's Miss Anne?"

"Training at the underground sword training ground."

"Understood."

Rosen rolled the parchment in his hand into a circle and strode towards the studio on the second floor. When he arrived at the studio door, he knocked lightly: "Veronica, are you free?"

"Come in." came the reply from inside the room.

Rosen pushed the door open and saw Veronica sitting in the corner of the house with a large drawing board in front of her. She held a paint tray in one hand and various brushes in the other hand, applying various colors of paint to the drawing board.

Her technique was very skillful, and on the drawing board, the outline of the Prancing Horse Mansion was already vaguely visible.

Rosen stood leaning against the wall with his arms folded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have good painting skills."

"It's not that good. I haven't done anything for many years, so my technique is very raw." After saying that, she put the wooden paint tray on the table aside, picked up a rag and wiped the paint on her hands: "Look at you, Have something to do with me?"

Rosen nodded: "I talked with the businessman, and we reached a contract. From now on, I will be responsible for building the alchemy equipment, and he will help me sell it. The final profit will be divided into 28%, and I will share 80% with him."

Veronica nodded: "You look very happy, but this is not enough to make you so upset, so do you have anything else to say?"

Rosen chuckled: "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes. There is indeed one more thing. Vincent, uh, that businessman told me that wands are very profitable. An ordinary thunder wand can be sold for 200 gold dragon coins. ”

"So what? The production process of this kind of offensive wand has always been monopolized by Nerogard Academy and has never been spread out. Do you think you can make a wand?" Veronica frowned, disapproving.

Rosen shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no. At present, I naturally don't know how to make a lightning wand. However, in my opinion, it is not difficult. With a little research, it is still possible to create an ordinary lightning wand. It’s not difficult.”

After hearing this, Veronica's expression suddenly froze, and she said seriously: "Well, I believe you have this ability. However, this thing is the monopoly of Nerogard Academy. It doesn't matter if you sell the thunder wand in other cities. Nerogard City is going to be in big trouble.”

Rosen was slightly shocked: "Oh~ I really didn't expect this. Thank you for reminding me."

But then he laughed again: "Of course I'm not going to sell the thunder wand. In fact, I'm going to build a wand that ordinary people can use."

Veronica was finally surprised: "Are you sure you can do a magic wand that ordinary people can use? If you can really do it, it will indeed sell for a high price!"

"Hahaha, in fact, I have already designed it, but now I only lack the materials." Rosen waved the scroll in his hand.

Veronica understood: "You want me to find materials for you again?"

"Don't you want to see the wand I designed?" Rosen shook the scroll in his hand.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a fragrant breeze blowing in front of him, and then the scroll in his hand disappeared. When he looked up, Veronica was still standing there, but there was an extra scroll in her hand.

She opened the scroll and read it carefully, muttering as she read: "Flash wand. Two dry batteries, one incandescent bulb, one push switch, and one wooden cylinder. What are dry batteries and incandescent bulbs? I've never heard of them."

Rosen spread his hands: "That's the code I wrote. Just look at the material list at the bottom."

Annie jumped directly to the bottom and saw that it said: "Black tungsten ore, graphite, brass, limestone, quartz."

Reading all the way down, she frowned and said: "Except for black tungsten ore, they are all common materials. There are plenty of them in Nirogard City. You can just send a servant to find them for you."

Rosen laughed: "I just want you to help me find black tungsten ore. I'll find the rest myself."

"Black tungsten ore. This thing is hard to find, right? I'll help you find it. In Nirogard City, I happen to know a few special ore merchants."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much." Rosen bowed repeatedly.

He wanted black tungsten ore to extract metallic tungsten, because tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals, exceeding 3000 degrees, and its evaporation speed is extremely slow, making it the best filament material for incandescent lamps.

Of course, it is not necessary to use tungsten filaments. He can also use carbonized bamboo fiber and other things to replace tungsten filaments, or simply make light-emitting diodes to replace incandescent bulbs.

However, the life of the former is not ideal. As for the latter, light-emitting diodes are good things, several levels more advanced than incandescent lamps. He doesn't want to take out such good things so soon.

"Okay, okay, I'll go find it for you now. Don't be idle, the remaining materials are easy to find, but there are many types, and it must take a lot of time."

"Hehe, don't worry, it won't take much time."

After the negotiation, Rosen and Veronica began to act separately.

Just as the two were looking for materials to make flashing wands in the city, a huge passenger ship with gorgeous exterior quietly docked at the dock of Nilogard City.

After a while, a woman in her fifties came down from the boat. Along the way, she was carefully protected by a dozen guards with shields, and finally boarded a luxuriously decorated carriage.

In the carriage, the magician Fleming Ben was already waiting. When he saw the old woman, he bowed slightly and said, "Master Niya, during the days you were away, something strange happened in the academy."
