Chapter 221 Introduction to Alchemy, War Breaks Out
"The Eye of Deconstruction" and "The Hand of a Thousand Weaves".
Ian was reading the information about the two witchcrafts.
The former is an observational form of witchcraft. Unlike Ian's Eye of Harmony, which focuses more on the observation of plants and organisms, this witchcraft is more focused on the observation of matter.
The latter can release threads of spiritual energy to complete intricate tasks such as cutting, shaping, splicing, and engraving runes.
He could indeed sense that these two witchcrafts were significantly different from the potion-making tradition he had learned.
"But there are also some commonalities."
Ian narrowed his eyes slightly. After connecting the Eye of Harmony to the Master level, he had become very proficient in micro-management.
Nowadays, they have simply replaced magical plants with inorganic substances.
He felt he should be able to get the hang of it quickly.
With that in mind, Ian took a deep breath and began studying.
Just one hour later.
His eyes gleamed with a faint golden light.
Take out a piece of lava crystal from one side, and the originally solid ore gradually becomes transparent under the golden light.
He seemed to be able to sense something deeper inside, including the gathering of magic and impurities.
However, it's not very clear.
Then Ian waved his hand, and strands of translucent silk slowly appeared and began to wrap around the crystal.
The next instant, the silk thread was stained red, turning into a pale red, and then split in two as if a hot knife were cutting through butter.
"The Thousand-Woven Hand is really interesting. It can be infused with different magic to create different effects, which should correspond to different materials."
Ian found this quite interesting.
Then he tried other effects: the water element's water blades, the wind element's sharpness, the earth element's heaviness...
The only drawback is that it can only produce three or four strands.
This is because he is a beginner and his proficiency is far from sufficient.
"However, there is still a month, which is enough time to reach the master level in these two witchcrafts."
Ian narrowed his eyes slightly.
With the foundation of the Eye of Harmony and a foundation close to the mid-stage of the first ring, two zero-ring sorcery spells were naturally no challenge for him.
It was exactly one month before he returned to the academy.
You can use this time to learn alchemy, since it's a popular subject in the wizarding world.
Especially in the White Rock Territory.
Because of the Elemental Mountains, there are many kinds of ores and inorganic materials, which makes the discipline of alchemy even more popular.
Moreover, he has a legacy to carry on.
He couldn't bear to part with so many contribution points.
In the blink of an eye.
A month has passed.
During this period, Ian began to study Malachi's alchemical tradition in depth, quite thoroughly.
among them.
Both spells have reached the master level, but only increased the talent value by fifty points, reaching 4600.
While his previous foundation provided him with considerable assistance, it also significantly reduced the amount of talent points he could acquire.
But Ian wasn't worried.
Since the black line had clearly told him that this only meant that the real essence would have to wait until he entered the first stage.
"But it's still a hassle!"
In the mining laboratory, Ian extracted the components of the lava crystal ore in front of him and shook his head.
Pharmacology requires the preparation of reagents, and so does alchemy.
It's simply about processing various materials and making real magical artifacts.
To unlock one link, Malaki also left a method: three extraordinary materials need to be refined, and then these three materials need to be used to forge a magical artifact.
Only then can you unlock part of the first ring.
In the mining area where he is now, he can't find the materials, so naturally he can't refine or unlock them.
"We'll have to wait until we get back to the academy."
In the laboratory, Ian was deep in thought.
Now that a month has passed, it's time for him to return to the academy and find a new job.
Thinking about this...
He instructed his assistant to tidy up the place, and then went to find Magnus.
night.
He organized a farewell party for Ian.
the next day.
Ian still had a headache, and he didn't know where they found such strong liquor, which even made a first-ring wizard feel a bit overpowered.
"But it's time to go!"
He stepped out of the room and saw an airship waiting not far away, where Magnus and the others were also waiting.
Goodbye, everyone!
After exchanging pleasantries, Ian boarded the airship and watched as the mine grew smaller and smaller, and then farther and farther away.
One day later.
Standing on the deck, Ian frowned as he looked at the Elemental City drawing ever closer in the distance.
All that could be seen were dozens of huge airships flying away into the distance, each bearing the symbol of a spear.
Stormspear Warband!
Ian recognized him.
Dozens of airships, that must be hundreds of people, what on earth happened?
"This doesn't seem like a small matter!"
His brows furrowed.
His mood became anxious, and at the same time, he suddenly felt the communication crystal vibrate.
I took it out.
He lowered his head and used his mental energy to perceive the information inside.
A few seconds later.
He could no longer remain calm; the news came from the academy, as well as from Horton, Audrey, and others.
All these messages have only one thing in common.
That was last night when Crimson Eyes launched a surprise attack on several of the academy's camps ahead and declared war on the Elemental Arcane Arts.
war?
Ian’s throat moved slightly.
Has this day finally come?
Contrary to expectations, it wasn't the elemental magic that initiated the war, but rather the Crimson Eye that struck first.
And this is far from being just the beginning.
This is a direct declaration of war, which means that two academy-level forces are at war.
This is a huge deal!
He also instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.
With the arrival of war, everything in the academy will change, from duties to other aspects.
"The academy is about to undergo a major transformation!"
Ian's mind was racing with various thoughts.
But he knew none of this mattered; he still had to wait until he entered the City of Elements to find out what was going on.
Especially after we've met Kieran, we'll talk about it.
As airships flew by, their airship finally slowly entered the City of Elements.
Upon landing.
Ian noticed the difference in his surroundings.
Both the environment and the wizards were noticeably different from before; some wizards even had large bags and bundles, clearly preparing to leave.
Watching all of this unfold.
Ian frowned slightly, then headed towards the academy, soon arriving at the Four Symbols Academy.
I wanted to see Kieran, but I didn't get to.
The servant told Ian that Kieran would tell them everything at the quarterly assessment meeting in two days.
Feeling uneasy, Ian returned to his new home.
A villa located at the foot of the Four Symbols Mountain Range, which is something you can enjoy once you advance to the mid-stage of the first ring.
The magic concentration here is nearly eight times higher, a significant improvement over before.
And since Kieran said he would speak in three days.
Ian stopped worrying and waited patiently.
three days later.
Ian arrived at Castle Number Three.
However, upon entering the castle, Ian discovered that all the wizards had arrived, and they all wore serious expressions.
Ian sensed the slightly quiet atmosphere.
He sat quietly in his original spot and waited for Kieran to arrive.
Ten minutes later.
Kieran arrived.
His face remained calm, as if he couldn't see the many wizards below, as he recounted what he was about to say.
A full hour later.
He slowly stopped and then said, "There are a few things I need to talk about next."
Many wizards held their breath and focused intently.
I knew the main event was about to begin.
