Old Jack left very decisively.
He devoted his whole life's time and energy to alchemy, even at the expense of his fortune and even his reputation.
But once I decided to give up, I didn't regret it at all, and it was a clean cut!
After completing the property transfer procedures, Old Jack boarded the train to the south.
He will spend the rest of his life in the place where his ancestors once lived.
After Ronan sent Old Jack away, he did not move to his new home.
Because Old Port District is far away from the police academy and the surrounding environment is not good, so we continue to live in the original apartment.
He spent a lot of time studying von Bryant's alchemical notes.
This notebook, which has a history of hundreds of years, records a large number of experiences and insights of Legendary Alchemist Master, including the confusion and distress he encountered in the pursuit of truth.
The so-called truth is actually the law of the world.
Through this notebook, Ronan's mastery and understanding of alchemy reaches its essence from the deepest level.
From this he realized how much advantage he had taken.
Without this alchemy notebook, Ronan could certainly master the laws of this world through long-term study and research.
But the price paid must be high.
The time and money saved is truly immeasurable!
In comparison, Old Jack's house and alchemy laboratory are nothing at all.
Of course, Ronan also knows very well that this note is actually Old Jack's gratitude for saving his life.
He spent half a month studying the notes, and then began to use the laboratory to refine his first extraordinary work.
As the carrier of the first work, Ronan chose a dagger.
This dagger is no ordinary thing. It was made by Ceres's skilled craftsmen and was forged from tungsten-titanium alloy steel. It can be regarded as Kingdom of Invya's highest achievement in cold weapon manufacturing.
Its surface has very beautiful patterns, its texture is tough and sharp, and it can pierce thick armor.
Its price is as high as 100 gold pounds!
However, no matter how beautiful or sharp this dagger is, it is only an ordinary item.
What Ronan needs to do is to give it extraordinary characteristics.
First, he carved detailed and complex alchemical runes on the blade of the dagger.
Alchemical runes are the soul of alchemy. Each rune has unique properties, and then through different combinations of runes, one or several extraordinary properties are woven out.
Ronan The extraordinary characteristics given to this dagger are: sharpness.
The sharp talisman set consists of three alchemical runes. It is very difficult to carve these three complex runes on the surface of a hard dagger, even with a special carving knife.
Any mistake at any point may lead to the final refining failure.
In fact, there is a simple and easy way to etch alchemical runes, and that is transfer printing.
First write the alchemical runes on the transfer paper, then stick it on the object and apply a special potion to cause it to corrode.
However, compared to engraving, the alchemical effect of etching will be weaker and the effect time will be much shorter.
Despite this, most alchemists use etching to add alchemical runes.
Ronan is just the opposite. For him, engraving is much simpler and more convenient than etching.
With strong will and extraordinary control, Ronan can use a small carving knife to carve alchemical runes on rice grains, let alone weapons like daggers.
The sharp talisman set was completed in one go, without any flaw or broken strokes, and was perfectly carved into the dagger.
Then, Ronan coated the entire dagger with alchemical potion.
This kind of alchemical potion is extremely expensive, with a small bottle costing one or two hundred gold pounds. Its function is to protect the artifacts from maintaining stable properties in the alchemy circle, and to better integrate the extraordinary properties.
After the potion dries, the next step is the last and most critical step.
Ronan Place the dagger on the alchemy table.
The alchemy table is the most important tool for the alchemist. There is an alchemy circle set up on the table, which requires mana to activate and complete the final process of transforming ordinary items into extraordinary items.
Old Jack As an ordinary person obsessed with alchemy, he mastered all the prerequisites for alchemy, but was unable to complete the last step, which resulted in wasting decades.
Of course, this descendant of pirates is not blind to the problem. He has tried to use scientific methods for many years to solve the problem of being unable to activate the alchemy circle without mana.
These methods include but are not limited to using fire, electricity, sound waves, chemicals...
All ended in failure!
Ronan also has no magic power, and cannot activate the alchemy circle by the means of a spell caster.
However, Ronan is different from Old Jack. The dimension he stands on is much higher than the latter. Of course, he will not break the situation by hitting the iron wall with his head like the latter.
Ronan combined his own knowledge of laws to analyze the alchemy array. After studying its working principles, he used Psionic Power to replace mana.
In fact, after the research has reached this point, whether it is mana, Psionic Power, or other Extraordinary Strength, or even non-Extraordinary Strength, it can achieve the same goal through different paths.
Understanding the laws and gaining insight into the truth is why Ronan invested a lot of money and time in the study of alchemy.
On the alchemy table, runes were lit up one by one, and they were intertwined and connected to form an extremely complex network of light, completely covering the dagger placed on it.
The surface of this weapon forged from tungsten-titanium alloy steel began to glow red and bright, and the alchemical runes engraved on it gradually disappeared until a faint mark was left.
Suddenly, a ball of pale golden light bloomed, illuminating the entire laboratory!
The next moment, all the light converged.
The dagger on the alchemy table seemed to have been completely transformed. Not only did the color change from black gray to dark gold, but the texture on the surface disappeared completely, making it look deep and restrained.
Success!
Ronan smiled slightly, reached out and picked up the re-refined weapon.
He could feel that this dagger contained a strange power and had a subtle connection with the external space.
It's like it's alive and breathing!
Ronan held the dagger in his hand and waved it casually.
The sharp blade cut through the air barrier silently, leaving a faint afterimage.
A silver coin that had just been thrown into the air quietly split into two halves and then fell to the floor.
The fracture is extremely smooth!
Interesting.
Ronan is playing with his first alchemy work, gaining an additional understanding and mastery of the laws of this world.
He felt that the day when he would touch Origin of the World was not far away.
Taking a box, Ronan put the dagger into it.
Then put it back into the dark groove of the original wall.
He will neither use nor sell this piece, so he will keep it here as a souvenir of Old Jack!
