Chapter 329: The Players' Performance
After a while, the host began to introduce the rules of this competition.
The finals of the Alchemy Conference are different from the preliminary and semi-finals, and all the materials used in the competition are provided by the organizer, and it should be said that only the alchemy materials provided by the organizer can be used.
Thousands of materials from high-level alchemists to master-level alchemists will be placed on a white cloth about 50 meters long and 10 meters wide in the center of Magatia Square.
Then the contestants will step forward in turn to select the alchemy materials, and then the staff will put the materials on a plate and send them to the alchemy table where the contestants are, and by the way, monitor the contestants to see if they have used the alchemy materials and alchemy utensils they brought without authorization.
The staff are all fighters above level 30, so there is no need to worry about choosing too many materials to carry them.
When choosing materials, each person can only choose a maximum of fifteen alchemy materials, and the number can be stacked, but the types can only be less than fifteen.
And most importantly, the quality of the materials here is uneven, there may be excellent alchemy materials, there may be defective or even useless material garbage, judging the quality of materials is also one of the criteria to test young alchemists.
The first to enter was Nebula, who chose three bottles of high-grade abrasives, ten good-colored garnets, eight high-grade monster crystals, an unopened wisdom crystal, two bags of black magic powder, and a bottle of cara tree sap, as well as some ingredients for blending.
Then there was Cupbil of Capalette, who, like Nebula, had chosen three bottles of high-grade abrasives and eight high-grade monster crystals, except that he had chosen ten diamonds for the magic gems.
It seems that Cupiel, like Nebula, aims to refine a magic wand, but when Cupid chose the magic gems set in the staff, he did not choose those that were unopened, but chose a medium wisdom crystal that had been opened, probably because Cupid was not sure that he could open a magic crystal above the medium level!?
Then it was Romeo's turn to choose the alchemy materials, Romeo chose a bottle of high-grade abrasives, eight high-grade monster crystals, four aquamarines, ten tanned sea lion skins, and nineteen time shards, plus some plant juice to clean up the materials, magic powder for strengthening, etc.
It seems that the items that Romeo is going to refine are most likely cloak and shoulder pads, if it is gloves, boots and belts, then ten sea lion leathers are slightly more, and if it is a robe, ten leathers are a little less.
Then there was Stinger, who chose two bottles of high-grade abrasives, ten garnets, and four high-level monster crystals, plus twenty tanned dragon skins, and some trivial blends of juice and magic powder.
Twenty dragon skins!? Seeing this, almost everyone guessed that the item Stinger was going to refine was a magic robe, and Nebula had even guessed what Stinger wanted to refine based on this.
In the end, the contestants entered one by one and picked and chose the alchemy materials placed on the long white cloth, and since all the materials were provided by the two organizers, Capalet and Montegue, there was no shortage of materials.
With the whistle of the host, the final of the Alchemy Conference finally kicked off!!
★?????????????????? ★
After the start of the competition, Xingyun did not rush to refine his own works, but watched in a daze as the players around him quickly and orderly processed their own alchemy materials.
Nebula first looked at Romeo's alchemy table, and when he saw Romeo using his hands to finely manipulate the magic gold thread to perfectly connect the pieces of sea lion leather like magic, Nebula nodded secretly, such tailoring skills are probably rare among master alchemists.
Of course, Romeo, who is a high-level alchemist, can have such excellent tailoring skills, and it seems that tailoring is probably one of Romeo's best skills.
Then Nebula looked in the direction of Cupbill, who first cut and processed the ten magic diamonds, although these ten magic diamonds have been cut and polished by jewelry craftsmen, but it may be that Cupid has strict requirements for the facets of these ten magic gems, so he has to cut and process the magic diamonds by himself.
Looking at Cupicle's skillful use of a polisher to polish the facets of the magic diamond, Nebula was very emotional, now there are not many alchemists who know the knowledge of jewelry craftsmen and can cut and arrange the facets they want to facet, just as the treatment of leather is now almost always tanned by tailors, and the alchemists in the past can almost know everything from jewelry processing to tailoring skills.
Nebula then looked in Stinger's direction, and instead of sewing the twenty dragon skins on his alchemy table, Stinger had processed ten garnets first.
Instead of polishing the facets of the magic gem like Cupier did, he poured a yellow-colored juice on the garnet, and then carefully carved some strange lines on the garnet with a carving knife, a bit like a magic inscription.
"Hey!! Little Star! What are you doing in a daze!? Hurry up and do it!! Shinas, who was seated in the first row of the audience, stood up and whispered to the nebula not far from him!
After hearing Shinas's reminder, Nebula came to his senses.
Seeing the worried look on his face, Nebula made an apologetic gesture to Shinas, then smiled stupidly, and then began to reconcile the high-grade abrasives on the alchemy table.
Nebula first poured three bottles of high-grade abrasives into a beaker as usual, and then added black magic powder to the high-grade abrasives, Nebula carefully blended the high-grade abrasives while carefully observing the changes in the color of the abrasives, until the scarlet high-grade abrasives turned into a pale green thick liquid, Nebula breathed a sigh of relief and put down the tuning stick.
Although there is no skill in adding black magic powder to the advanced abrasive, it only happens for a moment when the abrasive changes the reaction, and if you don't notice the subtle changes in the prelude to that reaction, then the bottle of advanced abrasive with black magic powder will only fail.
After processing the high-grade abrasives, Nebula began to process the ten garnets, this time instead of using the Psychic Micromanipulation Method to deal with the ten magic gems as before, Nebula began to concoct the gem dissolving agent using the blending materials he had taken from the white cloth.
Although it takes a little longer to mix the gem dissolving agent, it is not too difficult, after all, it is just a matter of mixing a variety of materials into the reagent to make it evenly mixed, and as long as you master the sequence of steps, I am afraid that even ordinary people who do not understand alchemy at all can mix it well.
Of course, the preparation of gemstone dissolvers is only an appetizer, and the real test of technology is the back.
Nebula put ten garnets into the gem dissolver one after the other, and almost the moment the garnets fell, the garnets melted into the gem dissolver like candles burned by fire.
The transparent gem dissolver instantly turned into a thick red liquid, and strong magical fluctuations came out of the melted gem liquid.
Nebula used the lid to cover the beaker containing the gem liquid slightly, and then froze the edge of the beaker's lid with a very weak cryotechnic before Nebula began to concentrate on concocting the coagulant.
The coagulant was simpler than the gem dissolver, Nebula only took five minutes to complete, and the coagulant did not emit any magic fluctuations, which saved Nebula the effort of using a weak cryostat to prevent the magic from escaping.
Next, Nebula began to carve a stone mold, and with a small carving knife like clay in his hand, he began to pick out the grooves of the mold little by little, this stone mold was completely different from the mold used in the smelting of magic gems, it was specially made to shape the body of the magic wand.
After combining the two identical molds, Nebula carefully poured the completely melted gem liquid into the small hole above the mold, and then poured a few drops of coagulant, and then Nebula began to wait for the magic wand to solidify.
As for why Nebula didn't use the spiritual micro-manipulation method he used before, but used the method of refining the staff of an ordinary alchemy master, it was because Nebula wanted to show more in front of Shinas at that time.
And because the mental micro-manipulation method is too high-end, there are many viewers and alchemists below the master level who are puzzled, if it weren't for the judges such as Carson and McMad to prove that Nebula did not cheat, I believe that many people who support other contestants will not give up.
Seeing that Shinas stared at himself intently, as if he was looking forward to himself, Nebula was very happy and waved his little hand to Shinas in the audience, if it wasn't for the next thing to deal with, Nebula really wanted to run off the stage now.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud bang came from the center of the playing field.
The smoke and dust spread rapidly to the surroundings, so that several alchemists near the center had to temporarily suspend the refining, but fortunately, they had either completed a certain stage and were trying the next stage of refining, or they were waiting for the reaction time of the concoctant, and it was not a big deal to interrupt it slightly.
There were several alchemists in the referee's seat, and when they saw the smoke and dust from the explosion spreading around, the alchemist used a whirlwind with little power to easily expel the smoke.
This seems to be an alchemy accident, and the alchemist who caused the accident was Mina, a disciple of Master Starry, who may have taken improper measures when dismantling the magic gem, or due to the unstable structure of the gem, which caused a violent light and heat reaction when dismantling the magic gem, resulting in an explosion.
Master Starry's disciple Mina was disfigured as a result, and she was slightly injured and was in a coma, and it seemed that she could only exit the alchemy conference without defeat.
If it weren't for the Elemental Annihilation Inscription Formation drawn around the alchemy platform, it was still two to say whether Mina's life would have been saved.
Several referees on the stage hurriedly directed the staff to deal with the scene of the alchemy accident, this kind of thing is really rare in the alchemy conference, after all, almost all the contestants are the most outstanding young alchemists of the Alchemy Association, the Alchemy Guild, and the Alchemy Family, and they have been able to handle most of the alchemy materials correctly.
If Mina Alchemist didn't have any huge mistakes, it would have been impossible for such a serious alchemy accident to happen!!
As for what that huge mistake was, neither the judges on the stage nor the audience knew about it
(Magatia's plot is coming to an end, do you have any opinions on where to go next!?) Do you want to go back to Treasure Island to brush centipedes first, or go directly to Erin's Forest to team up for a mission!? )
