Chapter 1243
It took Gandalf three minutes to complete the final disassembly. He dug out a fist-sized black substance with his bare hands. It looked like a ball of black slime or melted asphalt...
There was no subtlety or magic aura. It looked ordinary, but Gandalf carefully put the substance into an obsidian box, and then placed three layers of seals on the outside of the obsidian box. The innermost layer of seal was made of gelatin made of the shell of a diamond-shaped tortoise. The next two layers were an alchemy array and a magic seal.
The seals were not very powerful, but they all had one characteristic, which was that they could not lock magic!
The obsidian that Gandalf brought out was a notoriously unpleasant material, and was almost completely indifferent to magic. The gelatin made from the shell of the diamond-horned turtle was used to seal some special items, in order to prevent magic from entering and prevent them from being eroded by magic...
Looking at Gandalf's actions, Lin Yun frowned slightly. It would take less than five seconds to kill a level 43 alchemical puppet, even with the perfect disassembly method!
But now, for the last part, for those black substances, Gandalf has spent five minutes, and even with Gandalf's strength, he seems to be very cautious...
After completely cleaning up the black substance, Gandalf stood up with the box.
"Mr. Marfa, do you know what this thing is?"
Lin Yun had never seen it before. The Heaven-level alchemical puppets he had killed before had never had such a thing in their bodies. Lin Yun shook his head.
"I have never seen such a thing, and I don't know such a thing..."
Gandalf threw the box to Lin Yun very straightforwardly.
"Then take it back and study it. If you study it thoroughly, you will know why the person you are going to meet is here."
Looking at Gandalf's look, Lin Yun knew that if he asked again, Gandalf would probably not tell him any valuable information, so he simply put the box away.
Gandalf then took Lin Yun back and flew in the direction they came from for several hours. The level of the alchemy puppets they saw along the way became lower and lower. Until they returned to the huge ruins of parts again, Gandalf tore open the space again and brought Lin Yun back...
The moment he walked back, Lin Yun spit out a rune and merged it into the space here, making a coordinate mark here.
This kind of place is the most desolate parts wasteland in the puppet plane. There are a lot of abandoned parts here that are corroded and rusted. Only alchemy puppets below level 20 will appear here.
Similarly, this is almost the birthplace of new alchemy puppets. Acid rain, rust-eating insects, and some other strange things have created the strangeness of this place. Almost all possible parts in the puppet plane can appear in this kind of parts wasteland.
The Puppet Plane also has a wasteland sea. The ocean in the Northrend Plane is seawater, but in the wasteland sea that stretches for thousands of kilometers, there are countless discarded parts, various precious materials, and even a large number of alchemical puppets living in that endless sea of parts...
There are often heavenly alchemical puppets that appear to find new parts.
Strictly speaking, the strong in the Puppet Plane are much stronger than the Northrend world of this era.
The overall strength is not on the same level.
The first difficulty in conquering the Puppet Plane is the air. There is almost no air that humans can breathe here. Coupled with other things, the Puppet Plane is almost impossible to conquer.
Lin Yun didn't dare to come here rashly before, because he was afraid that if he opened a plane road, he would appear next to some steel cities in the puppet plane, or even if he was unlucky, he would open up a huge steel city directly. At that time, he would definitely die very ugly, and it would give those iron lumps a plane road...
With a safe coordinate, he can enter the puppet plane from here next time...
After returning to the world of Northrend, Lin Yun immediately began to study the black substance. Gandalf was very cautious for fear of making any mistakes. Lin Yun had never seen such a thing, and even the huge knowledge base in his head could not find the same thing, so he dared not be careless.
After returning to the alchemy laboratory, he first made a set of instruments according to the ones used by Gandalf before. Generally, alchemy tools have good magic ductility. The few with poor magic ductility also have a stabilizing effect on magic, but the tools used by Gandalf before were all magic-averse.
These tools had never appeared in alchemical experiments. After making the tools, Lin Yun began to open the obsidian box, remove the seal on it, and then carefully cut out a small piece of the size of a fingernail from the black substance that looked like melted asphalt for research. The rest were sealed according to the original seal.
Putting this small piece on the tray of the crystal table, Lin Yun immediately noticed something unusual. This tray was just an ordinary ceramic product. Alchemical laboratories often use this kind of thing because it has no effect on most alchemical experiments, just like a glass cup.
But now, it is obvious that the little bit of magic power left in the ceramic plate is rapidly swallowed by the small piece of black substance. Because of the swallowing of these magic powers, the ceramic plate is even broken, and the black substance falls onto the crystal table.
Then, a little turbidity appeared on the almost transparent crystal table. Where the black substance was contaminated, the transparent part quickly became turbid, and the turbid part was still spreading around. In just a few seconds, half of the surface of the crystal table became turbid, and a small half of the inside was no longer transparent.
Lin Yun subconsciously released a magician's hand to grab the small piece of black substance, but the moment the magician's hand touched the black substance, Lin Yun felt that the magic power on the magician's hand seemed to be bitten off by something, and then the magic power of the entire magician's hand was flowing towards the black substance...
The magician's hand was decisively dispersed, and the target of the magic power swallowed by the black substance changed to the crystal table again.
Lin Yun watched quietly and did not continue to care. After a minute, the originally transparent crystal table seemed to have turned into a piece of gray limestone, and the surface was no longer shiny.
This means that the magic power in the crystal table has been completely swallowed up. After swallowing the magic power of the crystal table, the black substance began to slowly swallow the magic power in the air. The speed is very slow, but it seems that it will not stop at all.
Lin Yun remained silent. He had never expected that this black substance would devour magic power, and it was not picky about food, and its devouring power was also very overbearing.
The previous ceramic plates were usually used as anti-magic materials, because this kind of thing could hardly carry magic power. After long-term use in the alchemy laboratory, it was inevitably contaminated with some magic power and slowly penetrated by magic power, but these magic powers were almost imperceptible and had already merged with the ceramic plates.
But this black substance could forcibly devour those magic powers, and the same was true for the crystal table. The crystal contained magic power, but this magic power plus the crystal itself was a material that stabilized magic power. The manufacturing material of this crystal table, the magic power inside can almost be said to be completely unusable.
But it was still devoured by this black substance, and the magic power of spells could also be devoured, and the magic power in the air could also be devoured...
After experimenting with more than a dozen methods in a row, Lin Yun was completely sure that as long as it was magic power, or something with magic power, it would be devoured by this black substance. Only some pure anti-magic materials that could completely isolate magic power, such as obsidian, could touch this black substance.
Even if it is left there motionless, the black substance will continue to devour the surrounding magic power, and the speed is very stable, and it seems that it will not stop at all.
Lin Yun made a bunch of alchemical equipment for magic-hating materials, and he continued to decompose this small piece of black substance. No matter how small the pieces are, this thing will not stop the process of devouring magic power, and the size of the magic power is directly related to the size. The larger the faster, the faster the magic power is devoured.
Even the calculated devouring speed is not proportional at all, but the larger the black substance, the faster the devouring speed increases in an arc.
Even after three days of research, it has not been found where the magic power devoured by this black substance has gone, because this substance has no magic power fluctuations at all, and the magic power fluctuations will be devoured, just like a black hole. After all the magic power enters, it can no longer be found.
It was only a small piece. In three days, the magic power that Lin Yun had swallowed during various experiments was equivalent to a level 20 magic crystal...
But after using more than a dozen detection methods, he still couldn't detect where the magic power went. He used a special energy substance that could track and mark it into the black substance, but he couldn't detect it anymore. It seemed that as long as it was magic power, it would disappear out of thin air after being swallowed by the black substance...
After using various methods, he couldn't do anything about this black substance. The black substance was still swallowing all the magic power that could be swallowed around it...
Lin Yun put the small piece of black substance that was split back into the obsidian box. Suddenly, it was like a drop of water falling into a bowl of water. It easily merged into the large black substance. Nothing changed...
Lin Yun frowned, sealed the obsidian box again, and turned to find Gandalf.
Half an hour later, Lin Yun frowned and walked out of Gandalf's wizard tower, sighing helplessly.
Gandalf, this guy, can talk about any topic. He can probably discuss alchemy for a year or two without stopping.
But as long as the black substance is mentioned, Gandalf will smile and say nothing...
Thinking of Gandalf's terrifying strength, Lin Yun decisively left Gandalf's wizard tower. He didn't ask a single question inside, but was trapped in the discussion for several sentences, all of which were about the novel theories of alchemy...
After returning to the alchemy laboratory, he studied again for several days, but did not make any progress. There was no place to start with that black substance. Apart from studying the speed at which the black substance devoured magic power and the types of magic power it could devour, there was no progress at all...
At this time, there were suddenly more people in Neverwinter, and the Alchemy Expo began.
Lin Yun was walking on the main street of Neverwinter. All the eighteen shops on one of the main roads had replaced their signs with magic ones. Every three streets away, one could see the gilded rose logo floating in the air. The owners of the eighteen shops with the best locations on this main road had all replaced their signs with gilded roses.
Furthermore, all eighteen shops have been integrated into one, and coupled with the use of space technology to expand, it seems that there are only eighteen five-six-story buildings, but the combined size of the interior is definitely comparable to the size of a small city.
Even the main road has been blocked. In the center of the road, there is a high platform with many people standing on it.
Lin Yun walked in and immediately felt the lively atmosphere here. Standing next to him were nine-level titled wizards, looking at the people on the high platform with envy.
"I don't know what the origin of this Gilded Rose is, but it can open eighteen stores in the best location on Alchemy Street, and all of them are connected together..."
"Who knows, but the owner of the shop here must have a lot of background to sell the shop. I didn't see that among the people who came to the expo this time, there was not only a vice president of Starry Sky Academy, but also a prince of the royal family. Well, several important figures from big families are here..."
"It is said that the royal family personally negotiated for the Golden Rose to acquire these shops. Otherwise, you would think that the original shop owner here would sell it so easily. The shops here, even the ones with the worst business, are better than other places. Several times..."
"Stop talking, let's go in. I heard that on the first day of the opening of Gilded Rose, everyone who comes here as a titled magician or swordsman can get a free bottle of magic purification potion, and it's their Gilded Rose. It has been re-developed. You must know that only top masters or alchemists above can create magic purifying potions, so hurry up and leave..."
Lin Yun listened to the envy and hatred of these two ninth-level titled magicians, and suddenly smiled. The magic purification potion is a flagship product developed by Gilded Rose. It is at least more effective than the magic purification potion on the market. Seven or eight times, both swordsmen and mages can take this potion, which can purify magic power or fighting spirit, and can even cleanse the body and eliminate impurities and negative things in the body...
The effect is similar to the baptism potion, but it is targeted at sword masters or titled wizards. You must know that many potentials of sword masters or titled wizards will come to an end when they reach a certain level. It is impossible to continue to progress without special opportunities, and Magic purification potion is something that can improve their potential. Although this kind of thing is available on the market, the effect is not very good, and it is very expensive...
Farrow has spent a lot of money this time in order to open up the scene for Gilded Rose in the Kingdom of Odin. There are at least four or five hundred titled magicians or sword masters here today, and four or five hundred potions, if they are sold normally If it were, it would be able to sell at least several million gold coins, and it would be the kind of purple gold coins from the Kingdom of Odin.
Although the cost of this potion is due to strong research and development, a bottle of potion only costs a few hundred Andalusian gold coins...
As the expo began, five teams of gryphon knights appeared in the sky, patrolling continuously. The leaders were all heaven-level experts. On the ground, except for the guards of Gilded Rose itself and the patrol team of Neverwinter City, In addition, there are at least thousands of various alchemy puppets.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble here today will definitely die in a very ugly way...
Entering one of the alchemy shops at random, you immediately feel that the space is more than ten times larger. There are transparent display cabinets inside. Each display cabinet contains a certain research result of gilded roses, and there is a detailed introduction next to it. , especially the main pharmaceutical products of Gold Plated Rose, each bottle of pharmaceuticals has a strict grade classification.
The same medicines are divided into four levels according to quality. The effects, side effects, and even possible positive and negative effects of each level are clearly marked, and everything is marked according to detailed data.
Ordinary, high-quality, fine, and perfect are the four grades studied by gold-plated roses.
Lin Yun looked at a display cabinet in front of him, which contained four bottles of volcanic potion, which happened to be gold-plated rose.
According to the four levels of quality developed by the Guihe Alchemist Guild, an ordinary volcanic potion is sold for only six thousand gold coins, while a perfect volcanic potion costs fifty thousand gold coins!
But after seeing the marked data and effects of the perfect potion, no one would think that 50,000 gold coins is expensive. Instead, they would be grateful to be able to buy it at such a cheap price. After all, it’s not that there were no potions that could have such an effect before. The quantity There are too few, and all of them have to enter the auction. One bottle may cost two to three hundred thousand gold coins to buy. If you meet competitors, the price may double again...
Along the way, all the potions I saw were like this. Even many low-level potions were not at the level of ordinary. They all started with high quality...
A smile appeared on Lin Yun's face. Seeing this, Lin Yun completely understood. He had previously mentioned to Farrow the mass production of alchemy potions, but he did not expect Farrow to actually develop it based on only some of the steps mentioned before. It worked.
At least low-level potions must have been successfully mass-produced now, because at that price, if there is no mass production, this price will not have a particularly high profit, and the requirements of gold-plated roses have always been excellence, and the success rate must be guaranteed Only then can we actually start refining a certain potion.
So among the low-level potions, there is no ordinary quality at all...
Lin Yun silently calculated. According to Gilded Rose's usual profit policy, the alchemy potion sold must have at least ten times the profit after all costs. Gilded Rose can keep the price down just because of its cost control. .
After a quick calculation of several low-level potions, Lin Yun figured out that at least 300 of these potions must be refined at one time. After mass production, they can be bottled and sealed. The cost is much higher than the alchemist refining one bottle at a time, and the success rate and quality can be guaranteed...
