Witch Alchemist

"Even so, my alchemical talent is destined to be used extensively!

[Unexpected Surprise], [Luck Favors], [Inspiration], [Aesthetic Value]……

Triggering any of these would be a win!"

On the way back, Roy couldn't help but ponder.

Arcane domain and Witchcraft each have their own merits, and besides, his soul is somewhat adapted to the idea of ​​integrating science and arcane……

"In the end……

Still can't escape the 'so fragrant' feeling!"

……

Late August.

City South Workshop, in the exclusive workroom.

Roy continued to lay out the gemstone lens and related industries, tackling the difficulties in opening up the production and processing links.

As a result, he casually took out a synthetic gemstone, and suddenly felt the synthesis fail in his hand.

But inexplicably, [Unexpected Surprise] was triggered.

[When refining fails, there is a 10% probability of producing some unexpected products, the effect is limited to zero-level sundries and zero-level ordinary items, demonized items]

This kind of probabilistic mysterious ability has a not small trigger probability, and most of the time it produces garbage.

Roy still defaulted to its failure.

But this time, the blue water element gemstone in his hand suddenly twisted and changed, from a not very standard oval shape to an almost perfect teardrop shape.

Its volume remained the same, it was still a peanut-sized cracked gemstone, and it seemed to have a breath of life.

His own "Animation" witchcraft energy, unknowingly integrated into it, urging a transformation like the awakening of life.

"This is not a puppet created by an artificial soul, but a real life!"

Roy pinched it, surprised.

Overjoyed, he quickly used [Hermes' Eye] to illuminate it and carefully observe it.

Sure enough!

"Gemstone Life (Sapphire Clan)……

A natural life born by chance, possessing simple intelligence similar to slimes, able to condense elements and transform into mimetic life……"

"Gemstone Life? Mimetic……"

Temporarily unable to see more information, but what he saw before him was enough to make him feel surprised.

"Meow? What's this little thing here?"

The black cat Domi, who was playing nearby, came in and was quickly attracted.

It recently came to the workshop with Roy these days, and Freya and others also came along.

However, Freya has to study as a wizard apprentice every day, and there is endless homework and knowledge to learn.

Not as idle as it is.

Seemingly aware of the soul's aura, Windsorbell also came over, with a hint of surprise on her face.

"Very special……"

"This is called Gemstone Life."

In fact, Roy himself does not quite understand the existence of this thing.

But he vaguely realized its value.

"It's a bit like the totem stones and stigmata stones of the past……

It's a pity, I can't communicate for the time being……

And it doesn't seem to have the source quality of talent."

……

This is definitely an [Unexpected Surprise] no less than the birth of the Mimetic Flesh Fungus.

However, in the next few days, Roy consulted a lot of information, and even inquired about his teacher indirectly, but he had no clue.

This kind of gemstone life cannot reproduce quickly like the Mimetic Flesh Fungus, and then form a scale effect.

[Hermes' Eye] has no way to get more information, so he can only temporarily treat it as a pet and keep it on the table.

This little life is indeed adhering to the nature of stone, shrinking inside all day, staying quietly.

The black cat Domi developed a bit of inexplicable interest in it, lying nearby all day, watching it like a tiger.

Several times, it was a bit itchy, trying to push it off the table.

However, under Roy's stern warning, it still shrank back its hand and held back.

"Domi, you can't break it for me."

Roy specially told it.

"I have only refined one of these things so far, it's very precious.

If you dare to be itchy, I will put you in a cage, did you hear that?"

"Meow?" Domi heard this, her face was full of astonishment, and then she burst into tears, "Master, don't you love me anymore?"

Roy tapped the cat's head with the back of his finger: "Don't try to get away with cuteness!"

"Meow! I know, meow!"

The black cat hugged its head, showing obedience and well-behavedness, but secretly, its eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if it was having some bad idea.

Its cat paws stretched out and retracted, retracted and stretched out, and finally, taking advantage of Roy's inattention, it gently pushed the sapphire.

However, when the other party was pushed to the edge of the table and was about to fall down.

It immediately covered it up again.

The black cat turned its head guiltily, secretly glanced at its master, and found that Roy was reading the information over there, and had no time to pay attention to it, and immediately narrowed its eyes and smiled slyly.

It seemed to have gotten some novel toy, pushing and covering the sapphire, covering and pushing it, playing with it back and forth between falling and saving it.

Roy really didn't have time to pay attention.

But, he still took it all in.

Over the years, his mental power has continued to grow naturally, and has now reached nearly 40 degrees.

How could he not even notice such a close small movement?

However……

It's just a cat he raised, can he beat it up?

He had to let it go.

Just then, Wenn and others came to him together to report.

Their faces were filled with the joy of success, it was the result of research.

"Lord Roy, we used the potions and etching techniques you provided, and the yield rate has greatly improved!"

"We have even created zero-level lenses of fine quality, and even feel……

We can find a way to work together to polish first-level, or even second-level lenses!"

"Can it be put to use immediately?"

Roy nodded slightly, but was concerned about more practical things.

"We have already applied to the castle for some ray generators……

Although those are all antiques from decades ago, or even hundreds of years ago, replacing them with energy cores immediately rejuvenates them."

"Yes, we have recently successfully deployed more than thirty fire points……

Equivalent to more than thirty high-level, or even elite-level apprentices lurking in various bunkers and towers!

If there are enemies attacking next time, they will definitely be able to have a taste of their own medicine!"

The people who had been working overtime were excitedly discussing, secretly looking forward to being able to use actual combat to verify this result.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, a bell rang from the tower near the alchemy workshop.

"Clang!"

The bell pierced through the walls and spread in all directions.

"It's the alarm bell!

It really comes as soon as you say it……

Everyone, quickly enter the underground shelter."

Roy ordered, then took out the crystal ball connecting the outside "Wizard's Eye", and put his spirit into it to materialize the image.

Sure enough, the mages' war shuttles were raiding from the distant sky.

As always, they traveled unhindered, as if entering an uninhabited place, and soon came to the city's sky.
