"Up to now, only one artificer's forging of Orichalcum had surpassed the changes inherent to Orichalcum itself. And that Alchemical Omen was endured by the artificer personally, rather than borne by the main body."
Hearing this, Angel roughly understood.
Orichalcum possessed special autonomous transformative properties. In a sense, it could forge itself.
When an artificer's forging of Orichalcum fell far short of Orichalcum forging itself, the Alchemical Omen would surely seek out Orichalcum's owner—Algalong.
Only if your contribution to the alchemical result surpassed Orichalcum's would the Alchemical Omen prioritize locking onto you.
"Speaking of which, that sole artificer who had ever borne an Omen was also an alchemist."
As Benbo said this, he deliberately shot Angel a glance.
Angel froze. An alchemist? Did that mean she was a wizard too?
"Yes, a witch."
Benbo's answer immediately set Angel's mind racing. The Wizarding World corresponding to the Day Mirror Domain was closest to the Southern Region, so the alchemist Benbo spoke of was highly likely to have been a wizard from the Southern Region.
When it came to alchemists of the Southern Region, Sky Mechanical City's Research Institute and Ashilia Comprehensive Academy were impossible to avoid.
The former was the sacred land pursued by Southern Region alchemists, while the latter was the cradle that nurtured them.
Angel himself was not only a member of the Research Institute, but had also taught classes at Ashilia Academy.
Thus, he had some understanding of alchemists who came from those two places.
Could this witch Benbo spoke of be someone he had heard of... or even known?
Faced with Angel's curiosity, Benbo said flatly, "Her name was Raven. She came to the Mirror Realm six hundred years ago. She never disclosed her origins, only said that she was traveling, and called herself the 'Grotesque Witch.'"
