"Did you suddenly think that I looked more like you?" Huskar asked.
Baiyi shook his head and asked, "Where did you guys get this stone from?"
"I picked it up from a stone wall beside the field." Huskar replied honestly. It seemed like he was talking about the earthen stone walls that protected the farmers' houses from being harmed by livestock.
"Got it. Go back to sleep. Good night," Baiyi said casually and returned to his room.
Huskar had a dumbfounded expression on his face. He then shook his head and went back to sleep.
"Did you find anything?" The Scholar Walker asked in the Void. "Is this stone special?"
"It is indeed a little special." Baiyi returned to his seat on the left and placed the three statues under the light. "I thought they were too ugly, so I decided to beautify them myself. But as soon as I started, I realized that the structure of these stones is quite interesting."
"They're quite sturdy. If you use normal force, you won't be able to make any shape. You should also know that stone carving isn't something that can be done with strength alone. If your skills aren't up to standard and you don't use the right amount of force, the whole stone will shatter. Obviously, our friend doesn't have any carving skills. He must have been messing around. He actually managed to create a shape for them and didn't break it? "
With the strength of the Divine Warriors, crushing a stone into powder was as easy as crushing an egg. If it was an ordinary stone, it would have been crushed by them long ago. From this, it could be seen that this stone was not simple.
"Wait a minute, this kind of stone, it looks like the soft stone that we use to make golems," the Engineer Walker said.
The soft stone he mentioned didn't mean that the stone itself was soft, it was mud. The reason for this name was that this stone was actually a kind of alchemy product. To be precise, it should be a special kind of metal, not a real stone. It just looked a bit like it, it was hard and heavy, and because it was made with the alchemy process of softening, it got this name.
This kind of soft stone was much stronger than natural stones. At the same time, its toughness and temperature resistance were greatly enhanced. More importantly, it had a good magic resistance. It could be considered as a low-grade combination of anti-magic gold and black gold. However, because it was too heavy, it could not be made into armor. Usually, it was only used on important areas such as the joints of the marionette.
Apart from that, its biggest use was to build a magic training field so that mages would not destroy the field when practicing magic.
This thing was not precious or rare, but it was not to the extent of being used to build a stone wall.
"Based on what you said, it does look like a soft stone. That thing could probably withstand the barbarians' torment … However, the soft stone in my memory should be about the same color as a stone. It should be earthy gray or grayish-white? This one is completely black … "Baiyi continued.
"Aha! Isn't this because you're not professional enough? " The alchemist suddenly interrupted, "In fact, the color of the soft stone can be adjusted according to your needs. You just need to make some simple changes in the formula. If you want it to be red, you can choose red. If you want it to be yellow, you can choose yellow. If you want it to be the color of forgiveness, you can choose the color of forgiveness. But this kind of color mixing will increase the cost, and it's not very meaningful. It's better to paint the outside."
"You mean, this stone was purposely dyed black? But what was the point? Like you said, it's better to paint it, "Baiyi said.
"There are still some differences. It's easy for the paint to fade and it won't look good. If you mix the colors directly, it can last a long time. However, the one in your hand doesn't look black to me. To be precise, it shouldn't have been black in the first place." The alchemist continued, "I'm very sensitive to color. The black color of the stone in your hand is not normal."
"You can see that?" Baiyi asked curiously. He did not know that the alchemist had such an ability.
"It's because of my professionalism!" The alchemist said proudly, "You know, in the research that I've been doing, two reagents that are basically the same color with only slight differences may have very different effects. If I'm not sensitive to color, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."
"Alright, I respect your professionalism. Then tell me, what color should it be originally?" Baiyi asked.
"Based on my years of experience, it should be either pure gold, golden yellow, or golden-red. In short, it should have a golden hue because the black it is showing now is basically the same as the black color of gold that oxidizes after being stored for a long time." The alchemist revealed the mystery, "Maybe real gold was added to the color mixing, but after a long time, it turned into this color."
"Gold? So vulgar? Using gold to make a stone? So extravagant? This kind of fits a certain someone's style … "Baiyi muttered to himself, If it was my teacher, he would have built a pure gold magic cultivation field for himself. He's such a vulgar person …
"You're so sure that it came from the First Walker's magic cultivation field?" The Scholar Walker asked.
"If the alchemist's deduction is correct, all the clues we have so far point to this conclusion," Baiyi replied. "The animals detected the source of the ripples, and as you all know, their senses are much more sensitive than humans'. Also, there are alchemical creations that shouldn't be there, and the unique color matching my teacher's aesthetic sense …"
"More importantly, it's not just a simple cultivation field; it's also his magical laboratory. It's the perfect place to store the Book of Servitude!"
"Is it a laboratory or a cultivation field?" The Scholar Walker asked curiously.
"Yes. The laboratory is a cultivation field. Do you know why a standard and complete magic laboratory would often have a magic training field attached to it? In fact, in the early days, the two were separated. However, a certain emperor thought that magic should be experimented on, so he merged the laboratory and the cultivation field together. Usually, the cultivation field is right in front of the research station and the furnace, and one can start experimenting with magic just by looking up. "Baiyi began to narrate the story.
"Of course, it's also very dangerous. If a spell fails, it could cause a chain reaction in the furnace, and in the end, it could explode into a giant firework," Baiyi said, digressing from the main topic.
"Later, because of this emperor's leadership, other people began to emulate this dangerous but convenient method. This was especially true during the Ancient Rohlserlian era. At that time, the laboratories were built directly in the gymnasium. Later, people followed suit to a certain extent, but they paid more attention to safety. Although the two were still close to each other, they did not have to be in the same place. This is how we know the complete layout of the magical laboratory. "
"I don't need you to tell me that this emperor was the First Walker, right?" The Thane Walker said.
"I'm sorry, but you're wrong. It's not the First Walker who started all of this. It's his father. His father, Rohlserl the Eighteenth, was not as talented as the First Walker, but his passion for research was as great as anyone else's. It was under his father's guidance that the First Walker decided to devote himself to magic. However, compared to his father, the First Walker was more willing to use magic in battle. Perhaps that's why the Book of Servitude, the national treasure of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire, chose him," Baiyi explained the Archmage's story.
When they exchanged memories, the Archmage did not share much about his childhood, probably because he did not want his students to know about his dark, shameful past. Most of the information he shared was about how he went on a killing spree after mastering the technique.
"If it's the First Walker's laboratory, then you should know where it is, right?" The Explorer Walker asked. "Speaking of which, the Sage-Emperor of the Magi's laboratory has always been an unsolved mystery in the world of archaeology. Even the Rohlserlian Imperial Mausoleum has been found, but no one has ever found the laboratory. It makes people wonder if the Sage-Emperor of the Magi's laboratory was taken away by someone else after he disappeared into the Void."
"What archaeology? It's graverobbing!" Baiyi retorted. "Do you really think it's that easy to find his laboratory?" "You've underestimated him."
"He had a total of three laboratories when he was alive, and two of them were not even built in Isythre. Instead, they were built in a miniature realm that belonged solely to him. As long as he knew the exact coordinates, no one else would be able to find them when he was gone," Baiyi said.
"As for the last laboratory, it was actually his very first laboratory. He inherited it from his father, and it was there that he first came into contact with the Book of Servitude."
"Is that so? Then he put the Book of Servitude back in the laboratory, and when you go to the place where he received his legacy, you will receive his legacy. That way, it will fit the ritual that he wanted. This way, we can be sure that the Book of Servitude is in that laboratory, "the Explorer Walker said excitedly. The Explorer said excitedly. It seemed that the discovery of secret treasures had stimulated his tomb-raiding nerves, and his whole person was a little excited.
"What about the exact location of the laboratory? You know where it is, don't you? It's in Isythre, at least, or even nearby, right? Is it because it's hidden so well that no one has found it yet? "The Explorer Walker asked.
