10 days had passed. Abel had stayed in the Moga City Alchemy Union for 10 days. During these 10 days, he and Master Fettes had not stepped out of the operation room at all. Master Fettes had also tried his best to demonstrate all of his metallurgy skills.
Of course, he had failed many times, especially as the quality of his metallurgy increased.
Especially when it came to elite metallurgy materials. The success rate of each of them was only 10%, and each of them was extremely precious. This was why there were so few elite alchemists among the dwarves.
Due to the rarity of the materials, alchemists could not produce enough golden alchemy energy to level up.
In order to demonstrate to Abel, the Moga City Alchemy Union had provided Master Fettes with an unlimited amount of materials so that he could demonstrate all of his metallurgy skills.
Now he understood why magic jewelry was so rare in the Holy Continent. It was because they were made with metallurgy, and the materials used for metallurgy were very precious. On top of that, there was a lot of consumption during the process. Therefore, there was only a small amount that could be made each time.
Normally, only small items could be made with metallurgy materials. The biggest one was a wizard's magic staff. Even so, it still took many refinements to make a magic staff.
The difficulty of the materials and the failure rate of making magic accessories was the reason why magic accessories were so popular in the Holy Continent.
"Master Bennett, have you mastered it?" Master Fettes asked with a tired face.
Abel thought for a moment. It seemed like he was still trying to remember what Master Fettes had done. Afterward, he walked in front of the alchemy table and repeated Master Fettes' steps again.
This time, Master Fettes had failed 12 times to complete the refining of the advanced metallurgy material. He only had 2 sets of materials left.
Abel kept putting the ingredients into the crucible as he chanted the spell from time to time. Step by step, he completed every step perfectly.
Master Fettes was no longer envious of Abel's ability. He had seen too much in the past 10 days. The only thing he wanted to do was to teach Abel and leave him as soon as possible.
This was because he didn't know when he would lose all of his confidence if he continued to be with Abel.
Abel had given him too many blows in the past 10 days. Every time he finally succeeded, Abel would give him another blow.
Abel had never failed a single time when he was making low-level metallurgy materials, intermediate metallurgy materials, and advanced metallurgy materials.
Now, it was time for the last elite metallurgy material. It was also the most complicated one. Master Fettes had done it 12 times, which was already beyond his ability. He looked at Abel, hoping that Abel would fail once, even if it was just once.
He wasn't cursing Abel. He was just trying to get back a little bit of confidence.
However, when Abel chanted the "sublimate" spell, the rainbow light disappeared, leaving behind a blue light. Master Fettes's eyes suddenly lost their light. He felt like he was an idiot.
Master Fettes bowed to Abel in silence. Before Abel could react, he did what he wanted to do for the past few days. He left this operation room and swore he would never enter it again.
No alchemist could understand his feelings. All the dwarven alchemists outside were jealous of him for being able to be so close to Abel, but no one knew what he had done in the past 10 days.
Abel poured out the blue quality metallurgy material from the crucible. He looked at the material that was flashing with blue lightning, and a thought emerged in his mind. Should he learn how to make magic circles?
Out of all the ingredients for magic circles, metallurgy was the most important. Now that he had learned metallurgy, he could make any magic circle he wanted as long as he learned how to make magic circles.
However, that was just a thought. He couldn't just use the transformation necklace to create another body to learn magic circles.
Abel shook his head. He would save the magic circle knowledge for later. The most important thing right now was to complete the mission the dwarves gave him and go back to training.
He lifted his head and realized that Master Fettes had left while he was focusing on his task.
"Master Bennett, I'll take you to the Goff Family next!" Abel saw Master Benchley as soon as he walked out of the operation room. Master Benchley bowed.
"Master Benchley, where's Master Fettes?" Abel asked in confusion.
He had been spending a lot of time with Master Fettes these past few days, so he wanted to thank him. He didn't expect Master Fettes to not be here.
"Master Fettes is not feeling well, so I'll accompany you!" Master Benchley bowed again.
He didn't know what happened to Master Fettes, but from the way Master Fettes was mumbling words like "monster", "pervert", and "evildoer", it seemed like Master Bennett had hit him hard.
Of course, he wouldn't say this out loud. After all, Master Fettes was a master alchemist by honor in the Moga City Alchemy Union. He needed to give him some face.
"Master Benchley, please help me express my gratitude to Master Fettes. He has helped me a lot!" Abel bowed again.
"Master Bennett, I'll pass on the message for you!" Master Benchley said with sparkling eyes.
The carriage carried the masters to the teleportation circle in Moga City. Through the teleportation circle, they arrived at the Goff family's territory.
"Master Bennett, how's your metallurgy going?" Bernie had been waiting at the teleportation circle for a long time. He came back early to prepare for the Sky Ship. It had only been 10 days, but Abel was already here. He had all kinds of questions in his heart.
"Bernie, I've learned it!" Abel replied with a smile.
"Learned it?" Bernie knew how fast Abel could learn. It only took him a few years to become a master alchemist, but what could he learn in 10 days?
Bernie turned his gaze to Master Benchley. Master Benchley couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't believe it either, but he knew it was true when he saw Master Fettes' expression.
It was a big blow to Master Fettes' confidence. The loss of the Alchemist Union in Moga City was too big. Who knew how long it would take for Master Fettes to recover.
"Master Bennett, how did you learn metallurgy so quickly?" Bernie couldn't help but ask. He knew he had asked a stupid question as soon as it came out of his mouth.
"Bernie, metallurgy is actually very simple. You just need to master the process of changing the materials. It's very easy to make a metallurgy material!" Abel said with a smile.
Bernie couldn't help but feel speechless. If it was that easy, how many alchemists did the dwarves have? If it was that easy, why were there so few magic accessories in the Holy Continent?
Master Benchley also felt dizzy after hearing Abel's words. If metallurgy was easy, and someone could learn it in 10 days, then what was he? What was the point of practicing for hundreds of years?
By that point, he knew why Master Fettes was so depressed. If it was really that easy to make metallurgy materials, then Master Fettes must have had a lot of endurance if he didn't go crazy after spending 10 days with a monster like Abel.
"Master Bennett, Bernie, I just remembered that I still have some things to take care of at the Alchemy Union. I won't stay!" Master Benchley bowed to Abel.
After seeing Abel's grateful gaze, Master Benchley quickly ran back to the teleportation circle and disappeared from the Goff Family's teleportation circle.
"Master Benchley is really busy. I wanted to learn from him more. Too bad!" Abel sighed.
He had just learned metallurgy, but he only learned how to operate it. His basic knowledge was not perfect, so he wanted to find a chance to learn from Master Benchley.
