The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 110: The Alchemy of Ashes and Smokes
The box is sunk and light.
The lock is sturdy.
But this will not stop Lester from breaking the copper lock on the lightest box just with a fighting sword. The lock is unlocked and the box is unlocked.
No one else in the lobby was sent away by the Carter Butler, who walked out himself - perhaps valuables in the box, as a servant, should not be concerned.
Lots of people, Carter's moves, Lister's happy.
Though he believed Carter was loyal, he could not believe that all servants were loyal, and wouldn't it cause trouble if they saw the treasure and told the outside world?
Money is not revealed.
That must be understood.
“This case is very light, very different from the other boxes, what will it contain? Or nothing?” Lister reached out and slowly lifted the cover.
Suddenly, the bright light almost blinked his eyes - the box was filled with highly reflective white metal ore, one by one, the light that shone the window in, reflecting everywhere.
blinked.
Adapt to scattered light to carefully measure the white metal ore in the box. Take out one ore, weigh in your hand, barely weigh much, but the texture you touch is absolutely metallic, ice cool, and very hard.
“This is…”
He has never seen such a light metal, which is generally heavy in his perception.
And of course he knew that there was a kind of metal that was very light, lithium, twice as light as water, that could float on the surface. But even lithium is heavier than the metal ore in his hand. Now I don't feel like I'm holding on to a piece of metal ore, I'm holding on to a piece of foam.
Squeeze hard and the metal ore filament is motionless.
Chopped with a sword, can't move, can only leave a slight mark.
“Definitely not foam, not plastic.” He looked at the ore in his hand and remembered the Knight novel he had read, his eyebrows picked gently, and his smile gradually appeared, "I guess I've guessed what metal it is, light as nothing, hard as iron... it's magic metal - secret silver! ”
In this world, metals are also gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum.
But there are also a few special metals, which have affinity for magic, are very good magic conductive materials, and are necessary materials to build magic equipment.
There are three types of magic metals known today - silver, fine gold, and copper.
Secret silver is nothing, fine gold is unbreakable, and mountain copper is indestructible.
These three types of magic metals are also derived from dragons, which are said to have a secret silver dragon without falling into the glorious empire. In the Knight novel, the "Silver Knights" often appeared to follow the lead in battle, and the members were marked with a bright silver magic armor, coming and going like the wind.
“Secret silver is precious, more precious than gold. This box of Secret Silver Ore is worth at least one dragon coin!” Lester licked his lips unchallenged.
The treasure name is not false!
He quickly used space gems, loaded them all in, and left only one empty box. Simply this box of mysterious silver ore is a rich harvest. However, he had no intention of selling it, keeping it and using it to build equipment when he needed it in the future.
Touched the red-blooded sword between his waists, he felt that the red-blooded sword should also contain a small amount of covert silver-magic conductivity, more than ordinary steel weapons.
Even without the Dragon Gem inlay, a weapon blended with secret silver is at least a magic weapon.
“Now, look at what's in the second box… I don't know if there's any fine gold, or copper.” Listerie's sword gently chopped off the rusty copper lock and lifted the lid.
Stinky face.
Almost didn't spit him out.
It's a neatly stacked book. I don't know how long the book has been in storage, the smell of thick leather paper is very smoky.
Hold your breath.
Lester saw the top book, called Handwritten Body Snake - The Rodolfo Alchemy Diary.
“Alchemy diary? ”
vision flickers slightly.
Alchemist is probably a legendary profession, possibly a chemist, or a Taoist in Alchemy? Legend has it that they can refine ordinary stones into gold by magical means of alchemy, and whoever has the secrets of alchemy will have the wealth of a rich enemy.
Alchemist appearances are also quite frequent in Knight novels.
It's just that in reality there are a lot of people with alchemist titles, but they haven't shown true alchemy, it's just cheating, cheating and drinking.
Lester studied physics and didn't really believe in alchemy.
Absolutely.
In this magical world, God knows if there is alchemy, for example, and now he sees a diary with the title "Alchemy."
“You're not really documenting alchemy, are you? This is about me mastering the rhythm of alchemy? Are you going to the top of your life so soon? ”
Lester feels his heart beating faster.
The Alchemist profession, the top of the ranks of Biron Knight, Dragon Domain Lord, Magic Wizard, Dragon Slaughter Warrior, is absolutely no different —— money can really do whatever it wants.
However, just as he was about to touch the book.
The Rudolph Alchemy Diary, which still appeared to be clear, was instantly broken and turned into powder. Lister's fingers went straight through the powder and grabbed an empty one.
“I...”
There is an MMP in my heart that I don't know whether to speak or not.
It was just a blinking moment, the whole box of books, all turned into powder, gently touched and scattered into a pile, no longer could recognize any writing, nor could you see the book.
The wind blows in through the window, rolling up the powder directly and flying with the stench.
It took a while for Lester to recover, cover her chest and vomit a little blood: "My alchemy!” The old thick paper books have decayed.
It's a diary of alchemy, and it's gone with the ashes.
Heart like a blade.
Though he felt that alchemy was unlikely to exist, it was truly a slight possibility that alchemy existed, slipping away from his own hands, that sense of loss, still struck him deeply.
A box full of knowledge treasure, and that's how it becomes a pile of junk.
A sighed.
"Forget it, if I lose my life, who knows if there's any real alchemy in the diary?" Ben was an unexpected harvest, and losing it wasn't enough to shake my mind, a box of mysterious silver ore, already valuable enough. ”
After comforting himself, he carefully lifted his sword and opened the third box.
It's also a book.
Five books cover the top.
Lester learned a lesson, not touching it directly, but carefully remembering the cover of each book.
Guide to Warcraft in the Iron Ridge Kingdom, Close Contact with Polygonal Rhinoceros, Interesting Tall Towers, Colorful Mushrooms in the Red Monkey Forest, Rainy Night at Fox Estate.
The covers of these books are not handwritten but printed serpents, apparently published and sold on the market.
“The Golden Tower? Red Monkey Grove? Fox Manor? ”
He has not heard of any of these three places, but it can be concluded that they are all in the Iron Ridge Kingdom. Because Serpentine is used only in the Iron Ridge Kingdom and its dependencies. Including the previous Rudolph, who wrote the alchemy diary, should be from the Iron Ridge Kingdom.
He carefully reached out and touched the book, hoping to turn a page.
However, it still fails, as soon as the book touches it, it immediately becomes powdered and cannot be preserved.
“Unfortunately, two boxes of books, how much knowledge, all disappeared.” Lister shook his head and put his eyes on the last two boxes, "Are those two boxes loaded with books, too? ”
