Dean looked at some of the bottles and jars on the table. The bottles and jars were labeled, but there were no words on the javelins. Instead, there were strange symbols drawn on them. Some were the sun, some were overlapping with a five-pointed star, some were hooks and so on.
"What's this?" Dean asked.
Nightingale saw the bottles and jars he was pointing at: "Don't you know this symbol?"
Dean thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Haven't you memorized the basic alchemy symbols yet?" Nightingale was stunned.
It was the first time that Dean heard the words' alchemy symbols'. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask so that the other party wouldn't be aware of his expression. He thought: "Alchemy symbols? The role of symbols is usually used to mark something … Oh, I know. It should be something similar to mathematical symbols. "
There was no record of this in Rosyard's alchemy notes. Dean guessed that most of it was too elementary so there was no point in recording it. He immediately said: "Yes, I haven't memorized it yet. My things were left with my teacher. My teacher is dead and my things were seized by the Holy Church. Do you have a compendium of alchemy symbols? Can I borrow it?"
Nightingale looked at him suspiciously. But after hearing Dean call the Holy Church "damn" she dispelled the doubts in her heart. She pointed to a shelf next to her. There was a thick book with a black cover: "There. Take it yourself. But remember not to break it. I only have one."
Dean quickly nodded, "Thank you, thank you."
Dean picked up the alchemy symbols encyclopedia. He was about to open it when he heard Nightingale say: "Go to another place, such as a small warehouse. I'm going to do the experiment."
Dean came to the small warehouse that she was referring to. It was slightly messy inside. There were tools for cleaning the alchemy room and some broken filters.
Dean didn't care. He casually sat down and began to read the 'Alchemy Symbols Encyclopedia'.
He saw rows of dazzling alchemy symbols. Below the symbols was a text explanation. Dean soon saw the sun symbol that he had seen before. It represented gold in the alchemist's eyes!
"No wonder there is golden powder in the bottle, and the amount is very small." Dean murmured and continued to read.
Time passed unknowingly.
Dean was completely immersed in memorizing the symbols carefully. Through the beginning of the explanation, Dean knew that the alchemy symbols originated from astrological symbols used by diviners. With the decline of diviners, astrological symbols were gradually evolved into alchemy symbols by the rising alchemy warlocks. It formed an independent alchemy symbol system.
After an alchemist completed an experiment, the content recorded was usually a large pile of alchemy symbols. If one wasn't an alchemist, they wouldn't be able to understand it at all. Therefore, memorizing the alchemy symbol encyclopedia was one of the basic requirements for an alchemist.
He heard Nightingale's voice from outside the warehouse: "Hound, it's getting dark. We are going to go home. Do you want to stay here all night?"
Do you want to stay here overnight? "Dean didn't expect the time to pass so fast. He immediately closed the book and opened the door. He saw Nightingale and Snake standing at the door. He said.
"Alright." Nightingale nodded.
Snake glanced at the book in Dudian's hand and laughed: "I didn't believe it when Nightingale told me about it. I didn't expect you to not memorize this book. Gee, you are simply an apprentice. Well, I should call you an apprentice, haha …"
Dean heard his joke, smiled and said: "My memory is poor, so I memorize it slowly."
"I think you love to be lazy." Viper said in an "I understand you" tone, "Back then, I had a headache trying to memorize this. I thought of all kinds of excuses to escape. In the end, it was my teacher who personally forced me to memorize it. Nightingale, on the other hand, is very smart. I heard that she only spent about a week to memorize it. How could I, who had memorized it for half a year, endure it!"
Nightingale smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. I couldn't even memorize it in a week. It took me half a month to completely memorize it."
"That's very powerful." Snake said in a sad tone.
Dean put the book back in place. "Will you come tomorrow?"
"Of course." Snake said without thinking.
Nightingale shook her head. "I will see the situation. If there is something I won't come. If there is nothing I will come."
Dean nodded. "I will also come tomorrow."
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back." Nightingale looked at Dean and Snake. "Who will go first?"
"I will go first." Viper didn't hesitate as he waved to Dean. He came to the corridor outside the secret wall and climbed out.
"We will go out in a few minutes." Nightingale said.
Dean nodded. He knew that she was worried about going out too much at once. It would be easy to attract attention. Moreover, if they left one after the other, they would have time to organize their masks.
After a moment, Dean was the second to leave. He climbed into the alley. He saw that no one was paying attention to him. He put away his mask but still wore the mask on his face. It was not unusual to wear a mask on the street. Most people would think that it was a disease. No one would be willing to get too close to it.
Dean was about to go home when he smelled a familiar smell. He couldn't help but be startled. His eyes flashed. He turned to the other side of the street with his head down.
Not long after Dean left, a little boy appeared in the alley. He frowned as he looked at the direction of Dean's departure. He said to himself. "He is wearing a mask. He is really careful!" He took a deep look at Dean's direction and turned to leave in another direction.
Dean appeared at the corner of the street shortly after he left. He looked at the back of the boy and slightly frowned. He didn't expect that Snake would come out ahead of time. He didn't leave but hid next to him. It should be that he wanted to see his true face.
"It seems that I can't take it lightly in the future." Dean secretly thought. At the same time, he firmly remembered the other's face. It could be regarded as a fatal weakness of the other!
Dean looked at the entrance of the alley. He estimated that Nightingale would come out at the moment. He thought about it and gave up the opportunity to peek at her true face. After all, she didn't do this to him. If people don't offend me, then I won't offend them.
