Main Text Volume Chapter 169: Doubts About Shaping

The demon blood copper turned into a pool of metal solution with a black and red luster in the hot melting method.

The next step is to construct the metal solution into the shape he needs, and finally use the condensation method to fix the shape.

At this moment, Angel was stunned.

"Construct the shape, how to construct it?"

Angel suddenly felt that he seemed to have only considered the melting material and the shaping material. As for how to construct the style, he was still confused.

Angel recalled the words in the book. He remembered that "Basics of Alchemy" said: "After the material is melted, use magic power to shape it, and use the condensation method to shape it."

Use magic power to shape?

Angel tried to squeeze out a small amount of magic power from the magic source and release it into the metal solution.

Once the magic power entered it, it was like a river flowing into the ocean, without any waves.

For a while, Angel could only stand there. Three minutes later, the magic model gradually collapsed in the high temperature, which meant that the hot melting method had reached its limit.

There was no way, Angel could only cancel the hot melting method.

Without support, the metal solution slid to the floor, leaving burn marks. An unpleasant smell accompanied by white smoke rose.

Open the door of the basement and ventilate it a little.

Angel returned to the quiet room and turned on the holographic tablet to look for how to shape.

But Angel flipped through all the books in Sanders' collection and the books recorded in the Nightmare Realm, and there was no description of shaping. They all said that shaping was done with magic.

Angel was at a loss and even thought of using molds to shape. But molds also need to be customized. Did he go to the mortal blacksmith shop to find someone to make molds?

Angel thought about it and decided to go to Prome Alchemy Shop to ask David.

Putting on the black "sheets", Angel went out.

Recently, he likes to wear "sheets" more and more, just because they are simple and easy to wear. In the past, he had to wash his hair and comb it neatly before going out; but with the "sheets", he just put on the hood, and all the messy and greasy hair was covered.

Angel even suspected that this was the reason why each apprentice was given such a bed sheet.

Before walking far, Angel found that there were many more people in the apprentice town than usual.

Most of the wizard apprentices who used to stay at home went out at this time, dressed neatly.

Angel put on his hood and walked quietly in the crowd.

A few minutes later, Angel came to the underground market. Turning left and right, he soon arrived at Prome Alchemy Shop. At this time, the door of Prome Alchemy Shop was wide open, and no one was queuing outside the door, but David was sitting on the steps at the door.

David's goggles were moved to the top of his head by him, revealing his freckled face. His expression was a little lonely, and he sat on the wooden stairs with his hands on his cheeks, like a little boy who was ignorant of the world and confused about the future.

"What's wrong with you? Are you thinking about life?" Angel walked in front of David, and David slowly raised his head.

"Huha——" David sighed and said listlessly: "Why are you here? Didn't you go to the cloud library?"

"Cloud library? Why would I go there?" Angel leaned against the handrail beside the stairs.

"Don't you know that today is the publication day of the Frost Moon Chronicle?" David just finished speaking, and then said to himself: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you just entered the Savage Cave, it's normal that you don't know the Frost Moon Chronicle."

"Frost Moon Chronicle?" A set of books suddenly appeared in Angel's mind, "Are you talking about the "Infinite Plane Conquest Record" produced by the Frost Moon Alliance?"

"You know it too?" David looked over with some surprise.

"I know, "Infinite Plane Conquest Record" is a journal published by the Frost Moon Alliance in every century, recording various anecdotes of the plane conquest of the Frost Moon Alliance. Now it has been published to 16 issues." Angle paused: "You said today is the publication day of the Frost Moon Chronicle. Could it be that the 17th issue of "Infinite Plane Conquest Record" will be published today?"

David nodded: "Yes, the people of the Frost Moon Alliance have arrived. You see, there are fewer people in the entire underground market, all of them are here to read the Frost Moon Chronicle."

"The once-a-century journal is indeed worth reading." Angle said that he wanted to buy it himself, and he didn't know if the new issue had more descriptions of the Nightmare Realm. Angle had read every previous issue. Except for the 14th issue that included the Nightmare Realm in the conquest target, the Frost Moon Alliance did not have any progress related to the Nightmare Realm.

"Where is it published? I'll buy it later!" Angle asked.

David glanced at Angell: "Are you sure you want to buy? The price of the Frost Moon Alliance's journal has never been lower than 100 magic crystals."

"Then why do they..." Angell looked at the empty market.

"You can't buy it, you can rent it! You can rent it in the cloud library and in the hands of formal wizards. If you have a good relationship with your mentor, maybe they are willing to let you read it for free." David's face became even more lonely when he said this.

"I see." Angell thought, should I go to Sanders to ask for money in a few days?

"But what does this have to do with you sitting here thinking about life." Angell asked again.

David shrugged: "Because I envy you, I don't even have a mentor."

Angel was stunned, "You didn't receive the mentor's invitation? I remember that people who didn't receive the mentor's invitation will be randomly assigned a mentor, right?"

"I received a message from my mentor." David paused, and after a long while, he said the second sentence: "But unfortunately, my mentor died, and he died on the way to open up the plane."

Upon hearing this, Angel's expression froze. No wonder David is sitting here with a lonely face.

The scene was slightly silent. Angel was thinking about whether to say some words of comfort, but David suddenly smiled and said: "But it's good now. I can get some guidance from Master Promi, but I am more cautious than before. The instructor is very comfortable.”

"By the way, you haven't answered me yet, why are you here?" David narrowed his eyes: "Maybe you feel you don't have the talent for epigraphy and want to return the materials?"

Before Angel could return, David showed an "I knew it" expression again and patted his chest: "It's okay. I knew this would happen, so I haven't recorded the materials you bought. You can just return it." Just give it to me! Do you want me to ask someone to move it over to you?”

"Why don't you say anything? I want to ask you, do you want to ask someone to move the materials?"

Angel looked at David talking to himself in amusement, and after he stopped, he said slowly: "No, I'm not here today to return materials."

David frowned and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure you're not returning the materials?"

Angel said angrily: "Of course not! I came here today to ask you a question."

"Are you asking me for advice?" David's expression was very subtle, with a bit of secret joy and a slight sense of superiority. David coughed twice, and his expression changed to the kindness of a senior giving guidance to his juniors: "Young man, just ask if you don't understand. This is a good habit. Since you cried and begged me, then I will help you."

Angel: "..." When did I cry and beg you? Hey, don't make up your mind!

"Ask, young man." David looked at Angel with a smile, his eyes were extremely loving.

Angel took a deep breath, resisted the urge to turn around and left, and asked David: "I just want to know, after using the hot melt method to turn the material into a solution, how to shape it next?"

After hearing what Angel said, David's expression suddenly froze: "What did you say? You have learned the thermal melting method?"

Angel repeated what he said before: "What is recorded in the book is that magic is used to shape the shape. But I put the magic into the solution, but there was no change. That's why I wanted to come to you and ask."

The expression on David's face was like a dyeing plate, green was frustrated, red was ashamed, yellow was angry, and black was sad.

After a long while, David said aggrievedly: "Have you really learned the thermal melting method? It has only been less than half a month, how could you have learned the thermal melting method?"

"Uh." Angel looked at David's aggrieved expression and already figured out the answer that he was far better at learning the thermal fusion method than ordinary people... He carefully considered his words: "Maybe, my talent is better?"

David was so shocked that he collapsed on the steps with a look of despair.

David recalled his experience of learning the thermal melting method. Under the guidance of Master Promi, it took him a full year to successfully release the thermal melting method. As for the level 1 magic of epigraphy and smelting, he has not learned it yet, and he has not even touched the skin.

Angel only spent half a month. This world is so unfair!

"I think I may be sick today and I need to go back and take a nap." David got up numbly and walked stiffly into the store.

"Wait a minute!" Angel shouted.

David turned his head, his expression aggrieved, his mouth pouting.

"Uh, how do you use magic to shape the hot melt method?"

David was silent for a long time, his expression was tangled, and he was struggling in his heart whether to tell Angel. The demon David and the angel David are arguing in their hearts, jealousy and friendship are dueling.

After a while, David sighed and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

"The magic shaping mentioned in the book, the 'magic' in it is not the kind of magic you think, but an O-level trick, magic hand." When David said this, he waved his hand to Angel: " I told you the answer, I’m going to cry… rest.”

"Thank you." Angel thanked David sincerely.

David paused and curled his lips: "Anyway, you only need to ask people who have experience in alchemy, and they will know."

"But I don't know anyone else who knows how to make alchemy." Angel smiled and said, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been struggling."

David said calmly: "Don't thank me. Your alchemy talent should be very good. If you can go further on the road of alchemy, I hope you can help me in the future."

Angel's smiling eyes narrowed like crescent moons: "No problem."
