Chapter 1407 Blood Moon (Forty-Six)
Old Jack left decisively.
He devoted his entire life and energy to alchemy, even losing everything he had and almost ruining his reputation.
But once I decided to give up, there was no regret at all and I cut it off cleanly!
After completing the property transfer procedures, Old Jack boarded a train to the south.
He will spend the rest of his life in the place where his ancestors once lived.
After sending old Jack away, Ronan did not move into his new home.
Because the Old Port area is far away from the Police Academy and the surrounding environment is not good, I continued to live in the original apartment.
He spent a lot of time studying Von Bryant's alchemy notes.
This notebook, which is hundreds of years old, records a wealth of experience and insights of this legendary alchemist, and even includes the confusion and distress he encountered in his pursuit of truth.
The so-called truth is actually the law of the world.
Through this notebook, Ronan's mastery and understanding of alchemy go deep into the essence.
He then realized how much of an advantage he had taken.
Even without this alchemy notebook, Ronan could certainly master the laws of this world through long-term study and research.
But the price to pay will inevitably be high.
The time and money saved is truly immeasurable!
Old Jack's house and alchemical laboratory were nothing in comparison.
Of course Ronan also knew that this notebook was actually old Jack's thanks 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 his first work, Ronan chose a dagger.
This dagger is no ordinary item. It was made by skilled craftsmen from Ceres and forged from tungsten-titanium alloy steel. It can be regarded as the highest achievement of the Kingdom of Invia in the manufacture of cold weapons.
Its surface has very beautiful patterns, and its texture is tough and sharp, able to pierce heavy armor.
It costs 100 gold pounds!
However, no matter how beautiful and sharp this dagger is, it is just an ordinary item.
What Ronan has to do is to give it extraordinary characteristics.
First, he engraved intricate 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 can be woven.
The extraordinary property that Ronan gave to this dagger is: sharpness.
The sharp rune set is composed of three alchemical runes. It is very difficult to carve these three complex runes on the hard surface of the dagger even with a special carving knife.
Any mistake may lead to the final failure of refining.
In fact, there is a simple and clever way to engrave alchemical runes, which is transfer.
First write the alchemical runes on transfer paper, then stick it on the object and apply special potions to cause it to corrode.
However, compared to engraving, the alchemical effect of etching is weaker and the effect time is much shorter.
However, most alchemists use etching to add alchemical runes.
Ronan, on the contrary, finds engraving much easier and more convenient than etching.
With his strong will and extraordinary control, Ronan could carve alchemical runes on rice grains with a small carving knife, not to mention weapons like daggers.
The sharp rune set was completed in one go, without any flaws or breaks, and was perfectly engraved into the dagger.
Then, Ronan coated the entire dagger with alchemical potion.
This alchemical potion is extremely expensive, with a small bottle costing one or two hundred gold pounds. Its function is to protect the object in the alchemical array to maintain its stable properties and better integrate the extraordinary properties.
After the medicine has dried, the next step is the final and most critical step.
Ronan placed the dagger on the alchemy table.
The alchemy table is the alchemist's most important tool. An alchemy array is set up on the table, which requires magic power to activate and complete the final process of transforming ordinary items into extraordinary items.
Old Jack was an ordinary person obsessed with alchemy. He mastered all the prerequisites for alchemy, but was unable to complete the last step, which resulted in decades of wasted time.
This descendant of pirates certainly did not dwell on this issue. For many years, he tried to use scientific methods to solve the problem of being unable to activate the alchemical circle without magic power.
These methods include but are not limited to fire, electricity, sound waves, chemicals...
The results were all failures!
Ronan also had no magic power and could not use the methods of a spellcaster to activate the alchemical array.
However, Ronan is different from old Jack. He stands at a much higher dimension than the latter. Of course, he will not try to break the situation by banging his head against the iron wall like the latter.
Ronan analyzed the alchemical array based on the knowledge of the laws he had mastered. After understanding its working principle, he used psychic energy to replace magic power.
In fact, when the research reaches this point, whether it is magic power, psychic power, or other extraordinary powers, or even non-supernatural powers, they can all achieve the same goal through different means.
Understanding the laws and perceiving the truth are the reasons why Ronan invested a lot of money and time in studying alchemy.
On the alchemy table, runes were lit up one by one. They intertwined and connected to form an extremely complex light network, completely enveloping the dagger placed on it.
The surface of this weapon forged from tungsten-titanium alloy steel began to glow red and shiny, and the alchemical runes engraved on it gradually faded until only a faint mark was left.
Suddenly, a ball of light golden light burst out, illuminating the entire laboratory!
The next moment, all the light converged.
The dagger on the alchemy table seemed to have been reborn. Not only did its color change from black and gray to dark gold, but the texture on its surface also disappeared completely, making it appear deep and restrained.
It worked!
Ronan smiled slightly and reached out to pick up the reforged weapon.
He could feel that the dagger contained a trace of strange power and had a subtle connection with the external space.
It seems to be alive and breathing!
Ronan held the dagger in his hand and waved it casually.
The sharp blade silently cut through the air barrier, leaving behind a faint afterimage.
A silver coin that had just been thrown into the air quietly broke into two halves and then fell to the floor.
The fracture is extremely smooth!
interesting.
Ronan played with his first alchemical work, and gained a deeper understanding and mastery of the laws of this world.
He felt that the day when he would touch the source of the world was not far away.
Taking a box, Ronan put the dagger into it.
Then put it back into the original groove in the wall.
He will neither use nor sell this piece, so it will remain here as a memorial to old Jack!
