The next day, Dean came back to the secret alchemy room. Viper and the 'mouse' that he had been tracking were also there. The mouse boy should have heard about Dean from Viper. He nervously asked: "Hound, you, you followed me. So, you … have seen my appearance?"
Dean nodded: "I have seen it. I will keep it a secret."
Rat's face was full of dejection as he said, "I've been exposed again."
Viper snappily said: "Who told you to carve the tattoo on your wrist? I think sooner or later you will be purified by the light. Don't betray us."
"I won't betray you." Mouse frowned: "My family has engaged me. I want to quit alchemy. Anyway, it's difficult to achieve anything with my level. At most I can get a meteorite badge."
Viper shrugged: "Remember to peel off the tattoo if you want to quit."
"I'm afraid of pain. That's why I'm hesitating." Mouse said helplessly.
Dean was speechless. He looked at Nightingale's alchemy room and asked: "Won't she come today?"
"She hasn't come at this time. I guess she won't come." Viper casually said.
Dean said: "Can I borrow her alchemy symbol book?"
"This is up to you. But it's best not to touch her other alchemy materials."
Dean nodded. He picked up Nightingale's alchemy symbol book and continued to memorize it. Although he had the super chip which stored the modern chemical system which was much more advanced and perfect than the alchemy system of this era, but it didn't mean that it was backward. There were still many advantages to learn from the alchemy system. After all, this was the prototype of chemistry.
Dean reviewed the alchemy symbol book that he had memorized yesterday and then continued to memorize the alchemy symbol book.
Another day passed by.
At dusk, he left the alchemy room with Viper, Rat and others. This time, Viper was the first to leave. Rat was the last to leave. They were responsible for filling the passage. They didn't feel at ease leaving this task to a newcomer.
When Dean came outside, he once again saw Viper hiding next to him, trying to peep at him. He ignored it and walked a few laps in the direction he came from yesterday.
On the third day, Dean continued to come to the alchemy room. Nightingale was also there. He borrowed the alchemy books and continued to memorize them. He was able to understand the experiments of Nightingale and others before he left the room.
From the symbols engraved on the alchemy table, Dean could roughly guess what kind of experiment they were going to do. He quickly glanced at Nightingale's alchemy table. He saw a sun symbol, two water drop symbols and a spoon symbol. He was surprised. Nightingale's ambition was quite big. She even wanted to directly study gold. Did she want to directly create the philosopher's stone?
The fourth day.
Dean came to the alchemy nest as usual. Snake wasn't here today. Nightingale and mouse were busy with their own things. Occasionally mouse would come out to ask Nightingale some questions. Nightingale's alchemy level was the highest.
"Don't you want to read today?" Nightingale asked in a strange tone as she saw that Dean didn't borrow books from her.
Dudian shook his head: "No need."
"No need?" Nightingale was surprised: "What do you mean? Have you memorized it?"
"Yes." Dean nodded slightly: "I want to start learning how to do experiments."
Nightingale understood and laughed: "It seems that you have memorized a lot of alchemy symbols. How can you do experiments without memorizing alchemy symbols? If you want to do experiments then you have to buy the materials yourself. Today I can lend you some on the premise that I have extra. But you have to return them to me tomorrow."
"Thank you!" Dean was grateful in his heart. He looked up and glanced at the raw materials on the shelves. He saw several raw materials for making black gunpowder. These raw materials were also commonly used in other alchemy experiments. Black gunpowder was the first invention of his motherland in the old era. It had a great impact on the world. It originated from alchemy. In fact, alchemy was equivalent to alchemy in the East. It was more advanced than the West.
"I want this yellow phosphorus."
Nightingale glanced at it and nodded: "Okay, I happen to have more of this."
Dean asked for some resin, red scale and other raw materials. Then he cleaned up the small warehouse. At this time he suddenly found a problem … there was no alchemy table!
He was dumbfounded. This was not making black gunpowder. He already had a complete formula. He just needed to mix the raw materials together. He wanted to study the match, but he hadn't mastered the specific production method. The last time he looked at the black gunpowder formula in the chip, he saw some materials with similar characteristics such as yellow phosphorus, red scale and other materials. So he wanted to take this opportunity to study it himself.
Match was not a technology, but in this era it could greatly optimize the ignition tool. It was like the difference between an electric lamp and a candle. The reason why he wanted to study this was because he hadn't mastered the power of electricity. So he couldn't read the other high-tech modern products in the chip. Secondly, the industrial level of this world was too backward. It was futile to have the idea without the tools.
The second reason was the last time he detonated the black gunpowder. He felt that ignition was a problem. The fire sickle was too inconvenient. He needed to repeatedly hit it with fire steel to create sparks to ignite the tinder. It was too fatal at the critical moment of the battle.
Dean looked for Nightingale and curiously asked: "Where did you get the alchemy table?" No one dared to sell this thing in the market.
Nightingale was mixing raw materials. When she saw Dean looking for her, she froze for a moment and said: "I forgot to tell you about this. You go and find Mouse and see if he has time. If he has time he will take you to the underground market to buy one. But the price is a bit expensive. You'd better prepare more money, at least two silver coins."
"Underground market?" Dean was startled. He suddenly remembered that Rosyard's notes seemed to have mentioned this place. It was the underground market of the dark church. They had strongholds in various places.
Dean immediately found Mouse and told him about the matter.
Mouse didn't think much about it. He promised that he would take him there in the evening.
Dean said goodbye to Nightingale and left the alchemy nest. He didn't know how Barton and others were doing after three days. He immediately hired a carriage and went to the slums.
Dean came to a dilapidated square. He quickly found the secret code left by Barton and others. There was a smile on his face. He followed the code and soon found a remote shack. It was close to the slums where the refugees gathered.
Dean came to the front of the shack. He heard Barton's surprised voice from the other shack.
Dean was stunned. He saw Barton and others come out of the shack. He hadn't seen them for three days. They were much more energetic than before.
"We were afraid that the secret code would be exposed. So we rented another shack." Barton looked at Dean's expression and immediately explained.
