Chapter 8: Miracles
When Raymond walked in, he truly felt a sense of pilgrimage
After completing all of this, Lin Yun finally set down the extremely dangerous test tube and began to categorize a pile of inexpensive magical materials. He then started to grind some dried Thousand Knot Flowers into powder, while simultaneously using a filter cup to extract the juice from the Seven Leaf Grass. A small handful of Moonlight Sand was spread out on a sheet of white paper, and after reciting a few simple incantations, the Moonlight Sand began to emit a soft glow
Then Raymond saw that the bastard who should have perished in the magical explosion was now standing there as if nothing had happened, still holding that test tube that made his heart race. However, this time, Raymond had no time to care about the test tube; his mind was filled with questions: why, why, why? Why, under temperatures reaching hundreds of degrees, was the crimson coral solution clearly out of control, yet still intact in the test tube?
However ... ...
As a mage, Raymond certainly understands that both magic and alchemy require a significant investment of time. Talent does not play a decisive role in these two fields; no matter how outstanding a genius may be, they must accumulate knowledge over time and refine their skills through practice. No one can bypass this process
Thus, Raymond's closed eyes opened again
Although this seems to be very undignified, I can no longer afford to care about so much. After all, my self-esteem has long been shattered, and losing a bit more will not result in any greater loss.
This is not a joke www.hetushu.com.com
"You... don't come over!" Raymond was startled, initially instinctively wanting to stop, but soon realized that if it were going to explode, it would have done so long ago and wouldn't wait until now. Thus, he forcefully changed his words: "I will deliver it to you right away..."
Huh? Raymond, who had already closed his eyes waiting for death, thought he was hallucinating when he first heard this voice. However, upon further reflection, he realized it was not right; hallucinations do not have such a vivid and annoying sound
Raymond, who had been regretting his lack of self-respect, looked up and his mouth gradually fell open. His face was filled with a blank expression, and he stood there in a daze. As he looked at Lin Yun, his gaze was fixed and filled with fear, as if he were staring at some kind of monster
Raymond clearly remembers that a few months ago, when he had just advanced to the rank of mage, the academy rewarded him by allowing him to enter the Auckland Laboratory for a week of study. There, he witnessed a completely different world, one that could be regarded as the academic center of the kingdom. It was home to two titled magisters and seven grand alchemists. It is said that the true head of the Auckland Laboratory is even a master. Their presence has made the Auckland Laboratory a sacred place in the hearts of countless mages and alchemists
This means that the magic apprentice who has been stuck at level 9 for several years in his own eyes is not only a mage who has mastered at least two types of magical abilities, but is also very likely to be a highly skilled alchemist!
My goodness
This joke has really gone too far
The seven glass bottles currently placed on the alchemy table, whether in terms of the scents they emit or the magical fluctuations they produce, are astonishingly identical to that colorful potion from back then
Raymond waited like this, anticipating the arrival of the final moment. However, this time, he waited for a very long time, so long that he began to feel a bit impatient, when suddenly a voice came to his ears.
As he spoke, he walked over holding the test tube filled with a bright red coral solution
The moment he thought of this, cold sweat began to trickle down Raymond's forehead
In order to assert his self-respect, Raymond heavily placed several glass bottles on the alchemical table. He had initially intended to snort coldly, but upon raising his eyes, he was met with the sight of the bright red test tube, which startled him. In his shock, he forgot his earlier intention and merely cast a glance at Lin Yun, his expression filled with suppressed anger.
As the light gradually became more dazzling, Lin Yun's actions became increasingly swift. The juice of the seven-leaf clover was injected into the glass bottle, and after dilution, the bright red coral solution began to lose its vibrancy. Once the powder of the thousand-knot flower was also incorporated, the pungent odor gradually dissipated.
Raymond now feels his mind is in chaos, as if it were a pot of boiling porridge. The crimson coral solution encounters high temperatures without producing any reaction, which is something Raymond truly finds hard to accept. This is simply an insult to his alchemical knowledge. The alchemy professor at Auckland College has emphasized more than once that crimson coral must never undergo dissolution treatment, nor should the resulting solution be exposed to high temperatures.
As if to prove that all of this was not an illusion, that real yet annoying voice came again, and the tone clearly showed some impatience: "Why has the magical processing of several glass bottles taken so long?"
Few individuals have the opportunity that Raymond possesses. Whether they are Archmages or Grand Alchemists, they are figures standing at the pinnacle of their respective fields. In a certain sense, they have transcended the mundane. A casual remark from them could very well enlighten a mage like Raymond, potentially saving him many years of detours.
This is already a limit; without the accumulation of extensive experience and knowledge over time, it is fundamentally impossible to step into the realm of alchemical pharmacy
It is utterly disgraceful; being forced to do menial labor is one thing, but to then have to deliver it to others is simply a blow to one's self-esteem
However, this young Master Merlin is only twenty years old this year, which is simply astonishingly young. If he truly is an alchemist, then at his age, he is almost destined to become a great alchemist in the future
Lin Yun had no time to concern himself with what he was thinking. He took the several glass bottles that had already undergone magical processing and lined them up on the alchemy table. A test tube of bright red coral solution was evenly poured into the glass bottles and the - illustrations - within the book. Throughout the entire process, Raymond's eyelids twitched incessantly.
The problem is that once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. Thus, Raymond could only endure humiliation and complete the final transformation process, and then, still bearing the humiliation, handed those glass bottles over to that scoundrel.
That week felt like a dream for Raymond, immersed in the academic center of the kingdom, where he could meet those legendary figures every day. If he was fortunate enough, he could even occasionally hear their discussions and witness their research, which for Raymond was a treasure that could benefit him for a lifetime
Exactly, let's do it this way
After saying it, Raymond regretted it
Either he misread it himself, or the professor was mistaken; in comparison, Raymond would rather believe that everything he had seen before was an illusion
This, this, this... could it be the colorful potion!
Thus, Raymond began to rack his brains again. Since his self-esteem was bound to be trampled, he might as well think about how to be trampled in a better way
As a result, Raymond had not yet had the chance to think it through, while Lin Yun's work had already been completed
Now, several decades away, Raymond naturally remembers everything from that time more clearly.
The alchemy laboratory was silent, with not a single sound; even time seemed to have come to a standstill. The only sound that remained in the air was the gentle bubbling of gas escaping from the test tubes.
This is the miracle of alchemy. For Raymond, who witnessed the miracle firsthand, every detail at that moment is worth cherishing. The young mage even feels that, even decades later, when he recalls everything that happened at m.hetushu.com, he will still not miss a single detail.
Why not take the initiative, admit the mistake and apologize first, and use a sincere attitude to seek forgiveness
Perhaps it is precisely because the memories are too vivid that Raymond appears so out of sorts
I almost attacked a future great alchemist just now
When the moonlight and the shimmering glow fade away, seven glass bottles filled with a pale red liquid reveal their true form amidst a hazy mist
Among the many branches of alchemy, potion brewing is the most time-consuming. It involves a vast array of formulas and repeated experiments. Every potion alchemist has grown through countless failures. Therefore, to this day, the youngest potion alchemist in the Kingdom of Andalusia is at least over thirty years old
Raymond still remembers that on the afternoon of the third day of that week, he had the fortune to observe a potion-making session by the great alchemist Gustav. It was a bottle of colorful potion specifically designed to purify the impurities of the magic vortex. For those who had already reached the pinnacle of wizardry and were eager to shatter the magic vortex to step into the realm of the archmage, the value of this colorful potion was simply immeasurable
The alchemy table was cleaned thoroughly, and the used alchemical tools were neatly categorized, including the crucible that was picked up from the garbage heap. This was a habit cultivated by Lin Yun during the apocalypse. In that era of scarce resources, even a mana crystal the size of a grain of rice was considered a significant fortune. Having lived in such harsh conditions, Lin Yun could not tolerate any wasteful behavior.
