Chapter 17 Occupy full attendance, won't come out before 12 o'clock
"—Hey, haven't I already refused clearly? Why are you still here?" After saying hello to Wen Li's family, Edward, who came to the dilapidated and simple country railway station with his younger brother, expressed his dissatisfaction with Leeds and others who were "indomitable".
"Even if you say that, we have to go from the train station to the big city. This... well, the 'leisure and quiet' mountain village is not suitable for us." From Edward's house to the train station, I have never seen many houses on the way, including Leeds. Most of the people in the team are looking forward to this different world. It would be fine if someone taught "Alchemy" here, but now... there is no reason to waste time here.
As for why they don’t spend the night outside first and then leave during the day, don’t they come with their own MC system and can build a house anywhere? That’s because when they left the main world, they just woke up in broad daylight in the daytime, and now they really can’t sleep.
"...hum!" The first point is to shout "Little Dou Ding" unconsciously, the second point is to express the unsovereignty of "Alchemy" in words, and the third point is to evaluate the village implicitly and practically. When the three are superimposed, Edward has no good feelings for Leeds... but his mind is still bigger than his height, and he doesn't say anything. He just put down his suitcase angrily, sat down with his head full of unhappiness and waited for the arrival of the train.
"Although I don't know what's going on with you, don't throw your bad temper on others~" The kid who even burned his own house must have a story, and Leeds is still trying to communicate, "Anyway, waiting for the train is boring, why don't you take the time to explain "Alchemy" to us?"
"Don't bother me. Those who don't even have the foundation will go to the library to make up for classes first." By the way, the relevant books in folk libraries only play a role in popularizing common sense. No one can learn "Alchemy" through that thing. Real professional books should be either hidden in the home of an alchemist or collected by the government.
"Tsk, you kid is really not adorable..." Leeds shrugged.
"Who is the child?" Edward, 15 years old, thinks he is already an adult.
"Brother!" Al quickly stood up and blocked Edward's stare with his huge body. He was used to this kind of peacemaker character... He pressed his brother back to his seat and actually came over, "That...if you don't mind, I'll explain how?"
"Huh? How do you?" Leeds said in surprise.
"Well... although not as powerful as my brother..." As a 14-year-old boy, Al is already a genius, but there is a slightly better Edward next to him.
"But, aren't you an armor puppet? It's empty inside, right..." Leeds exchanged glances with Zhao Yun, Daji and others. Well, he didn't read it wrong.
"Hey, this..." Al was also stunned. Can anyone actually see it?
"If you say so, did the 'brother' really say it..." Leeds was thinking about what this title was. Judging from the knowledge Al claims to now, it seems that Edward didn't name the puppet out of his own evil taste.
"Really, you can find out..." Al said in surprise. Well, Edward is the same. Unfortunately, he is short and completely blocked by his younger brother's huge body. He completely disappeared from everyone's vision. "I was originally a human being, but I became like this now... There are some reasons that are inconvenient to say." Al's voice suddenly fell down.
"Ha, it seems that "Alchemy" is even more powerful than I thought..." Leeds didn't force others to tell her privacy. The relationship between the two parties was not to this extent. "Can you explain "Alchemy" to us now? To be honest, my interest has increased several times at once!"
Everyone behind Leeds also nodded secretly. Except for Lyon, no one was interested in the technology of "turning stones into gold", but the words that rose to "fixed souls" would be different.
"This..." Al pondered for a moment, but quickly adjusted his mindset, "How much do you understand "Alchemy"?"
"It is probably the knowledge of 'throwing a lot of ingredients into a pot and cooking, then stirring with a large spoon, and finally coming out something that is impossible to appear at all'?" Sincerely, this is the impression of traditional 'alchemy'.
only,
"What is that~?" The alchemy in this world is a bit non-mainstream, "The real "Alchemy" is from quite rigorous science."
"???" Isn't alchemy from the magic side? Why did you go to the scientific side?
"Uh, it's a bit difficult to explain in words. Let me demonstrate it to you..." Al squatted down, and from then on, he took out a piece of chalk somewhere in the armor as the 'body', and graffitied it on the ground of the platform.
First, it was a circle, which was clearly drawn by hand, but it was as round as if it had been used by a compass. This was also the accumulated craft of the alchemist; then it was added simple lines inside the circle, this time it was a square that was also like a ruler; finally, it was written with some strange runes. Since Leeds couldn't understand it, it was definitely not the common text of this world.
"This is the foundation, the real alchemy is like this-" Al put away the chalk and suddenly pressed his hands on the pattern he drew.
The pattern emits a faint white light, and the concrete ground in the circle is like a part of it being extracted, and a concrete bird comes out from the upward protrusion.
"This is—?!" Unlike the alchemy he imagined, even Leeds was quite surprised.
"Haha, you can't cause trouble for the stationmaster..." Al laughed, then took another shot of the ground to return to its original state.
"Let me try it?" Leeds, who was very interested, walked over quickly and pressed his hands on the pattern as if he were like this.
——Nothing reaction.
"Although this is the reasonable result," if the alchemist draws the graphics and can activate the effect by just pressing it with one hand, then this technique would be too convenient. However, "But it's not right. I didn't see anything strange just now..." There was no internal force, magic power, spiritual power and other things flowing into the pattern. By the way, Al has turned into a pair of armor, so there is no such power.
"Haha, using alchemy requires familiarity with the structure and properties of the materials and the matter you want to refine, and thinking about the principles and results in your mind to realize the alchemy process." Al smiled and explained, alchemy is not that simple thing.
"………Is it so troublesome? Structure and nature..." Leeds thought for a while and found sadly that with his cultural level, he seemed to only recognize the structure of water and ice - the former is disordered, while the latter is combined into a hexagonal crystal structure through hydrogen bonding
"Can you please help me draw a pattern of water turning into ice? I want to try it." Leeds asked.
"It's OK, but if it's water..." Al looked around and it seemed that there was no nearby...
"Ah, I have it here." Leeds took a bucket of water from his backpack.
“…………………………………”
"Varied--?!"
"Alchemy" cannot "create something out of nothing", this is common knowledge of alchemists.
