In addition, metallurgy consumed a lot of resources, and the success rate had always been the biggest limitation of metallurgy. Therefore, the materials used to make it could at most guarantee the production of magical jewelry. For example, if the body of a magic staff was completely made of metallurgy materials, then its value would be extremely high even before the magic staff was made.
"Master Bennett, I'll make a beginner metallurgy material first. This material can be used with the 1 # El rune. It can be used to make a piece of jewelry that can increase defense and light up." Master Fettes did not talk too much about the basics. He was facing a Master Alchemist, so he wanted to teach Abel about metallurgy as soon as possible.
Therefore, he began to work on it. This was the fastest way to teach Abel about metallurgy.
He came to the alchemy table, took out some fine iron and mithril, and put them into the crucible. He then placed the crucible in the fire and chanted an incantation. The two materials, which were difficult to melt quickly, slowly turned into liquid.
"Fast melting." Abel recognized the spell. It was the same as the spell used by alchemists.
At the same time, Master Fettes took out a small piece of blue crystal and placed it on top of the crucible. He began to chant again, and the blue crystal turned into powder and fell into the crucible.
Abel had never heard of this spell before. It should be a metallurgy spell, so he did not ask. Instead, he turned on the dynamic vision and data analysis ability of his world stone fragment.
When the blue crystal powder fell into the crucible, a violent reaction occurred. Afterward, a light explosion sound emerged, and blue starlight began to fly out of the crucible.
Master Fettes didn't explain. He was completely focused on the crucible. Both his eyes and mind were focused on the crucible. Another type of Black Hao Stone appeared in his hand. This time, he chanted another incantation. The Black Hao Stone in his hand turned into a black speck and fell into the crucible.
Abel recognized it. It was the "essence extraction" spell.
"Sublimate!" Master Fettes waited for the Black Hao Stone particles to fall into the crucible. After a while, he chanted an incantation and loudly shouted.
Abel had long heard of the 'sublimation' spell. Many alchemists had their own habits, because the final result of the 'sublimation' spell was varied. One was failure, one was success, and the last was a very small chance of becoming a higher grade material.
After Master Fettes yelled "Sublimate!", the materials in the crucible began to emit a colorful light. Afterward, all the colors began to return to the crucible. The blue color was the last one to return.
"Not bad, I got a blue quality material!" Master Fettes said to Abel with a smile as he took the crucible out of the fire.
He was a Master Alchemist by honor, and the chance of getting a material of the lowest grade was very low. The chance of getting a higher grade material after 'sublimation' was about 10%, and the chance of getting a material of gold quality was one in a thousand.
Although he didn't get a golden quality material today, he still got a blue quality material. He was very satisfied. At least he didn't lose face in front of Abel.
"Master Fettes, what was the incantation you used to turn the blue crystal into powder?" Abel was still using his dynamic vision and data analysis, so he understood everything. Although he remembered the incantation, he didn't know the name, so he asked.
"Master Bennett, that is the 'decomposition' spell. It can directly decompose materials that are not too hard into powder. The powder is very uniform, so it can increase the success rate!" Master Fettes explained.
"Can I try?" Abel nodded and pointed at Master Fettes's position.
Master Fettes was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to understand what Abel meant. After a while, he realized something. He wanted to say something, but he didn't.
At first, he wanted to persuade Abel to at least learn more before trying. Although metallurgy and alchemy were similar, the mastery of materials was completely different. They were two different systems.
However, when he thought about Abel's identity, he could only agree. In his opinion, as long as Abel failed a few times, he would focus on learning again.
Although the materials were precious, this was the headquarters of the Dwarven Alchemist Guild. Not to mention low-level metallurgy products, there were also plenty of high-level materials in stock.
Abel saw Master Fettes move aside, so he bowed and thanked him. Afterward, he stood in front of the alchemy table.
He took out a new crucible and added some fine iron and mithril. Afterward, he placed it on the ground fire and began to chant the 'rapid melting' spell.
Afterward, he took out a blue crystal and placed it on top of the crucible.
By this time, Master Fettes focused his power of the will on Abel's hand and mouth. This step was not as easy as what he just demonstrated. If there was a slight delay in the reaction of the materials, the materials would be destroyed.
This was also the first time Abel heard the 'decomposition' spell. He didn't even practice it, so he didn't believe Abel would succeed.
Abel's data analysis ability could easily detect the reaction in the crucible. When the reaction reached the point where Master Fettes was moving, he began to chant the 'decomposition' spell again. Although this was the first time he heard this spell, he had learned the elite elves' language before.
Alchemists who didn't learn the elite elves' language had to memorize the spell. If there was a small difference in the pitch of the syllable, the spell would fail.
Abel, on the other hand, repeated it in the elite elves' language after he understood the spell. Therefore, it was already effective the first time he used it.
The blue crystal turned into powder and fell into the crucible. The reaction was still under Abel's control. Soon, the last batch of material was added.
The shock on Master Fettes' face never stopped. Up until this point, Abel's operation was perfect. Abel's operation was not like a novice at all. It was more like a dwarf alchemist who had been studying alchemy for a long time.
If he wasn't sure Abel had never studied metallurgy before, he would have thought Abel had studied metallurgy before.
Abel chanted the 'sublimate' spell, and the colors in the crucible kept flashing. Soon, the colors disappeared, and only the golden light remained.
"A golden material!" Master Fettes couldn't help but yell.
He knew there was a chance for a master alchemist to make a golden material, and the chance was much higher than his 1/1000th chance. It was almost 10 times, almost the same as his blue quality.
However, this was Abel's first time making a metallurgy product. It would be a miracle if he succeeded on his first try. Abel had only seen him do it once, and he was already able to make a golden material. How could a master alchemist by honor who had studied metallurgy for hundreds of years live?
A sense of helplessness emerged from his heart. Master Fettes knew Abel was a true genius, the most talented alchemist in the past 1000 years, but he never expected him to be this insane.
He had always been the one who attacked others with his work, but today, he was the one who was being attacked.
However, he soon realized that with this speed, Abel would be able to master metallurgy in a few days. Then, the dwarves' sky ships would be able to take off a day earlier.
"Master Bennett, this is the first time I've seen your alchemy talent. I'll show you everything I know. If there's anything you don't understand, please let me know. We can study it together!" Master Fettes said. He had already changed his teaching method.
