I wonder if they will work in our world? Because if so, then improving the properties of materials using alchemical means is a breakthrough, as well as a big profit. I really should have gone straight to alchemy, though... given that the training costs a decent amount and the ingredients are not that easy to get, I probably did the right thing by focusing on leveling and getting the initial funds first, and only after that deciding to take up one of the crafts.“As you can see, alchemy is needed for many things in the world, just like magic. Has your head been spinning yet? he asked, smiling.“Yes, to be honest, I went,” I admitted. - I have a question. How to determine which ingredient is suitable for which potion. For example, which ingredient is suitable for a fire magic protection potion, and which, for example, enhances your fire magic?- Oh, it's simple. All alteration potions are made with a primary or two primary ingredients and a secondary. For example, salamander blood. It c
- That is, potentially strong warriors have more resistance to poisons and other potions of destruction?- Right. So where to start? You can make a potion that turns into mist, and oil, and even a powerful acid.With these words, he took out various jars with liquids, powders and other things from the magical space.At that moment, a bell rang. Alast frowned and looked out the window.- Wait a bit, I have a client.- Of course, teacher.He quickly left, leaving me with the ingredients. As soon as I looked at the substance in front of me, an inscription appeared, what it is, but without any explanation. Here and the drool of some monsters, and dry herbs, and even charcoal.My eyes fell on a jar of dry, powdered salamander blood. Slightly reddish, like spices, it beckons my eye, but its properties are unknown. If I remember correctly, Alast was talking about a book with ingredients. I wonder if there is information about the blood of a salamander in it?I looked out the window. Alast co
“The price is more than sixty thousand zen, and the power is about equal to a fireball,” Alast summed up. - As an experiment it is interesting, but in practice it is useless and expensive.I just chuckled. Here the alchemist is right. And I was dreaming at first. And not just to firearms, but to real machine guns. But here the gunpowder needs to be more powerful and it will be necessary to build several factories, one of which is for the production of cartridges. At the same time, the cartridges will be "gold" ... no, even "platinum", and the effectiveness, in comparison with spells, is doubtful. Perhaps someday in the future they will find a way to quickly and in large quantities to extract the blood of salamanders, which will help reduce the cost of producing gunpowder at least ten times, and then it will still be unprofitable. Here you need to reduce the price even hundreds, or even thousands of times. Because one grenade is equal in power to a fireball, but even at a price of six
So the hunt for salamanders will have to be postponed until such time as I learn alchemy.With these thoughts, I went to the camp where Alex is serving at the checkpoint. Today without a "catch", but still it will be necessary to throw off part of the money to Yuuji. This time, five thousand, because if I send four thousand every day, it will be suspicious.An hour later, I was in the camp and was already moving towards the exit, when a familiar voice rang out from the left.- I told you, I'm not interested.I froze, looked to the side. There, leaning her back against the wall of the house and crossing her arms over her chest, Laska froze. Opposite her, with his back to me, is a guy in a metal breastplate, helmet, and mail trousers. On his left hand he has an iron shield next to a one-handed sword at his belt.“Come on, I said I would cry,” the guy said.My heart sank a little, because I recognized Galldin by his voice, a guy whom I had only recently helped with the castars. How the h
In general, alchemy turned out to be a very necessary thing for me. With its help , you can increase your magical attacks, have mana regeneration potions on hand, enhance attacks with certain spells, and impose debuffs on the enemy. Thus, a person who uses alchemy greatly increases his abilities, in comparison with someone who does not use potions.There are some restrictions: the same potions overlap the effect of each other. For example, there are two potions: one that increases constitution by 1, and the second by 2. If you drink the first and then the second, the latter will override the effect of the first, and not add to it. That is, the constitution will not be 3, as it might seem when adding up the effects, but only 2. It is the same with all other potions that give protection from magic or gain. Another limitation is the effect of two identical potions. It also does not stack, it only updates the duration of the action. That is, he drank a potion +1 to the physique, and it la
The road is slowly going up. The air is getting cooler, although the sun is shining brightly. The sky is piercing blue, it seems like a huge ocean, frozen overhead and ready to collapse with all the mass of water.Habitual deciduous trees have long been replaced by conifers. The cool air and the sharp smell of pine needles are an unusual and invigorating combination. This place would be perfect for the base of some wellness center.Suddenly I noticed something white on the left. Looking closer, I saw that bones were peeking out of the ground under the tree. A frost ran down my back, because with a chill I realized that these were the remains of a person.These rabbits are level five and are more dangerous than wolves. Of course, I fought with more difficult opponents, but it's better to be careful with these rabbits.- Oh, I would have a holy grenade, - I whispered and moved on.Before I had gone a few meters, I heard a slight rustle behind me. He turned around sharply. Three steps aw
Having torn off the skin, I set about the main element - fat. It is from the melted chrol fat that you can create a magic damage modifier enhancement potion. It is the least affected by chaos - which means it is less dangerous to consume and at the same time has powerful magical properties, due to the fact that the rabbit itself was exposed to chaos and mutated.I grabbed the knife a little more and cut off part of the meat, I had to peel it off. Chrol meat is covered with a green goo, and the veins of the muscles themselves cast a poisonous green color. Eating such meat is dangerous to health and is possible only after processing - long soaking in special liquids to remove most of the chaos. But according to Alast's words, it tastes like some kind of swamp mud after all these procedures. Of course, I didn’t ask how the alchemist knows what marsh mud tastes like - I just took my word for it.Fat gained ten kilograms - which is not so little. At least I have enough potions.Having pick
I was about to leave when I suddenly thought. Where did hroli come from anyway? Why are there creatures that have mutated under the influence of chaos? In principle, the answer is obvious - somewhere there is a source of chaos. It's strange that this thought didn't occur to me earlier.But if there is a source of chaos, then there is another dungeon somewhere? And these are mobs, objects and other goodies. It’s not that I would run to go through it right now, but it’s still worth knowing its location so that after swinging well and stocking up on items, try to clear at least the first levels. Maybe even gather a group again? .. No, I don’t even want to think about it yet.At a mental command, a map unfolded before my eyes. I am in a coniferous forest at the foot of a mountain range that separates the barony from the main kingdom, or rather in its northern part. There is a volcano in the southern part, where I will go later for salamanders. More precisely, not quite in the south - in t
