Chapter 3138 Sterling's Equipment

"Don't go looking!" Midora suddenly shouted.

Angel was stunned for a moment, and looked at Midora silently.

Midora seemed to feel that he had overreacted a little. He closed his eyes and slowly exhaled, and then said: "Since you mentioned the life forbidden zone, you should know that any alchemical forbidden zone should not be touched easily."

Angel nodded: "... Grandma Nail told me."

Midora was silent for a moment: "I believe Grandma Nail will not omit this topic. You should know something about the alchemical forbidden zone."

At the beginning, Ivo touched the alchemical forbidden zone and disappeared in front of Grandma Nail. Until now, he is still sinking.

Therefore, once Grandma Nail mentions the alchemical forbidden zone to the younger generation, she will definitely not skip it easily.

Since Grandma Nail has told Angel about the dangers of the alchemical forbidden zone, Midora also understands that it is meaningless to conceal it. What's more, Angel himself mentioned the matter of life alchemy, and obviously he also guessed what Portia did.

Thinking of this, Midora and Antonio looked at each other and said slowly: "Although Portia has not made public any of her life alchemy achievements, as long as it involves the alchemy restricted area, the precious consumables she needs to use are most likely not available outside and can only be exchanged through the magic material library of the R&D Institute."

Antonio also said at this time: "Yes, even if Ms. Portia is very careful and exchanges in batches, it can only delay the probability of being discovered."

Whatever you do, you must leave traces.

"From her points and the living supplies she asked someone to find, it can be confirmed that she is secretly carrying out life alchemy."

Angel: "Does Dean Muse know about this?"

Antonio nodded: "Yes, but Dean Muse did not stop Ms. Portia from doing this."

Midora sighed: "Although life alchemy is a restricted area, it is not absolutely prohibited. If it is not prohibited, it can be done."

"Since Portia is still secretly conducting research on the restricted area, it means that she is actually entangled in her heart. If we point it out, she might really act recklessly like Dongla, and we will become the ones who add fuel to the flames."

"So, we can only deal with Portia's actions coldly."

Whether it is Midora or other members of the R&D Institute who have discovered the clues, they are pretending to be confused at this time.

"Since you know that Portia is involved in life alchemy, I hope you'd better not interfere in this matter." Midora looked at Angel solemnly.

Angel nodded: "I understand."

In fact, when he learned from Regina that Portia was suspected of conducting life alchemy, Angel decided not to get involved in Portia's research.

That's why, when Portia wanted to see Angel, Angel decided to meet with Medora and Antonio before meeting Portia.

It was to show his attitude and hope that they could give him advice. If Portia continued to ask him to find special magic patterns, how should he deal with it?

Before, Angel could perfunctorily, but now he has something to ask of Portia. If he continues to perfunctorily, Angel would be a little embarrassed.

After listening to Angel's statement, Medora and Antonio did not immediately help Angel think of a response strategy, but showed strange expressions.

Medora: "Didn't you say before that the magic pattern that Portia consulted was very rare and she couldn't find it? How come now it seems that you know the relevant magic pattern?"

Angel: "I didn't find the magic pattern that Portia consulted, but... I roughly know where to find it."

"I see." Medora and Antonio showed a look of enlightenment, and they didn't continue to ask, which obviously involved a secret.

Medora: "If she really uses Qili's matter to exchange special magic patterns with you. My suggestion is not to exchange."

Qili just endured the smell of the raw material warehouse for a while, but if Angel traded the special magic pattern to Portia, the result would be unpredictable.

If Portia also went on the road of self-destruction like Ivo did at the beginning, it would be bad.

In Medora's view, Portia's personal value is far greater than Qili.

However, Angel's request this time is mainly based on "Qili". If he simply suggested Angel not to exchange, then why should Angel listen to their opinions?

Therefore, if Portia really uses the magic pattern as a condition for exchange, and they ask Angel not to exchange, then at least they should help Angel find a way to solve Qi Li’s problem.

Midora pondered for a moment and said, "Portia has a very high status among the fragrance wizards, which means she has a lot of say in the fragrance circle. If you reject her, then it is basically impossible for you to find other fragrance wizards to solve Qi Li's problem, and other fragrance wizards will not agree."

"However, the fragrance wizard agreed to Qi Li to clean up the No. 1 raw material warehouse on the condition that Qi Li can really do this. As long as Qi Li can really do this, I believe the fragrance wizard will not continue to make things difficult."

"So, the best way, and the way that least offends people, is to let Qi Li clean up the No. 1 raw material warehouse."

"You may feel that things seem to have returned to the starting point... No, no, what I mean is that if Qi Li just cleans up the No. 1 raw material warehouse step by step, it will indeed take a long time, but what if it is not done step by step?"

"Not step by step?" Angel thought for a few seconds, and seemed to understand what Midora meant, and frowned: "Master, do you want me to hire someone to help?"

Midora shook her head: "No, it's from someone you can't find."

Not to mention, no one wants to take on the task of cleaning up the No. 1 raw material warehouse. Moreover, if Angel really rejects Portia, even if Portia doesn't care, if others find out, they will target Qili.

With Portia's status in the fragrance circle, she would definitely not be able to find anyone to help her.

"I mean, it can actually solve the problem fundamentally." Midora: "The reason why Qili has to stay in the No. 1 raw material library for a long time is mainly because her extraction speed of odor factors is too slow. If the extraction of odor factors can be accelerated, Extraction can shorten her residence time.”

"Accelerate the extraction of odor factors?" Angel frowned: "Can this also be accelerated?"

The odor factor is said to be "smell", but it can be understood as a kind of energy with a special structure, which must be stable. A slight abnormality may cause structural damage and extraction failure.

The method of extracting this odor factor is a technique accumulated by aroma wizards over countless years of experience. How can it be said that it is accelerated?

Midora seemed to understand Angel's concerns and explained: "It's not about speeding up the magic, but about using an alchemy tool."

Alchemy tools? Can the smell factor be extracted using alchemy items?

Angel looked at Midora in surprise. If it could really be extracted using alchemy tools, then this would definitely be explosive news for the fragrance wizard!

You know, the most troublesome thing for aroma wizards is extracting odor factors, especially from excrement, so they usually ask their assistants or apprentices to do the extraction at a high price. But if they want to create the best fragrance, they must endure discomfort and select the best scent factors themselves.

If it can be extracted with alchemy tools, this will definitely drive the fragrance wizard who is troubled by the smell of the No. 1 raw material library crazy! Even if the extracted odor factors are not of high quality, it doesn't matter. They have methods to improve the quality. Even if it cannot reach the best, it can still reach high quality.

Seeing Angel's surprised look, Midora explained: "It's not the universal alchemy tool you think of, but it was accidentally refined by a member of the R&D Institute..."

Of course he understands how shocking it is to use alchemy tools to extract scent factors.

If someone could really invent a universal alchemy tool for extracting scent factors, any wizard who jumped into the fragrance pit would definitely have one.

But it is a pity that no one has refined this universal prop. Instead, an alchemist who went astray accidentally refined a similar instrument.

"Stirling Abnormal Structure Molecular Stabilizer." Midora: "This is the name of that alchemy tool. Its original function is to do microscopic research."

"However, because it can stabilize the gas structure, if it is used to extract gas factors, it can stabilize the structure of the gas factors for a long time. As long as the structure is stabilized, the extraction speed can be accelerated."

"Currently, there is only one. Moreover, there are uncontrollable factors involved during refining, so even if it is dismantled, it is difficult to research and reproduce."

Also because it cannot be universally used, fragrance wizards will basically not consider this prop.

What's more, this prop itself is extremely valuable. Using it to extract gas factors is a bit like overkill.

Of course, there is another most important reason. The owner of this equipment is... a bit difficult to deal with.

"Sterling... Abnormal structure molecular stabilizer." Angel muttered in a low voice, focusing on the name 'Sterling': "This Stirling is the Stirling in the punk theme park. spirit?"

Midora nodded: "Yes, that's him."

Angel has never met Sterling, but he knows that Sterling lives in the Punk Theme Park all year round. He is also a member of the R&D Institute, and his research direction is mechanical alchemy, which is now mainstream in the Southern Region. However, Stirling took a unique path in mechanical alchemy. His main focus was mechanical nerves.

Using machinery to compensate for nerves is a bit inconsistent with the Southern Territory's cognition just by thinking about it, but he really found a way out.

Even his nickname is related to this: ‘The Neurotic Wanderer’.

He was also specially recruited by Dean Muse for pioneering the path of mechanical nerves, and entered the R&D Institute with his background as a Sanren wizard.

The above is the general background of Sterling.

As for his character, Angel has heard rumors related to him from various aspects... This is a wizard who is obsessed with money.

As long as you pay the price he requires, he can do anything for you, even selling his body to you. It's not impossible.

It can be said that he is the most talkative person in the R&D Institute besides Gandolf, the 'Walker of Holy Light'.

The premise is that you can pay the price.

"If you can borrow this device from Stirling and give it to Qili, she can speed up the extraction of odor factors. It used to take one or two years to complete, but with the help of the device, it may be shortened to one or two months. ." Midora said.

Although upon closer inspection, it is a bit unfair to use such high-end equipment to do low-end manual work of extracting odor factors; if Portia had not been involved, Midora most likely would not have revealed this method.

But now that the two aspects are weighed, Midora still feels that it is more cost-effective to pay a small price to go to Sterling to borrow this prop.

Moreover, Midora could guess that the reason why Angel paid attention to Qili must be related to Kant. In his opinion, if there was a price to be paid, it would be Kant who would pay it, and Angel only needed to pass on the message.

Therefore, this method might be the best of both worlds at present.

"If I ask Sterling to borrow this device, what price do I have to pay?" Angel thought for a while and asked.

Midora: "The price Sterling offers is always different for different people. I can't say what he needs specifically. However, I remember that Gu Xiro once asked him to borrow this device, and Antonio was the one who made the decision."

Midora looked at Antonio next to him, who nodded: "Yes, Mr. Gu Xiro did borrow this device. At that time, he borrowed this device for half a year. Sterling offered two conditions and asked Gu Xiro to choose one of the two."

"The first condition is that Gu Xiro pays him 20 points."

"The second condition is that Gu Xiro needs to refine three different moon silvers according to the spectrum image given by Sterling."

"And Gu Xiro chose the second condition."

Without Antonio's explanation, Angel could understand Gu Xiro's choice.

If converted, 20 points are approximately equal to 200,000 magic crystals.

200,000 magic crystals can only rent the device for half a year, which is a big loss.

In addition, points can be exchanged for various precious materials that cannot be found in the outside world in the material library of the R&D Institute. Therefore, points have always been in short supply.

The first condition is directly excluded.

The second condition was simply tailor-made by Sterling for Gu Xiro.

Gu Xiro's nickname was "Moonlight Silver" because no one could match him in controlling the changes of the alchemical material "Moon Silver".

And Moon Silver is the basic material for mechanical alchemy.

Gu Xiro can play with Moon Silver, which can be said to be a huge contribution to the mechanical alchemy that is now popular in the South Region.

Because of this characteristic of Gu Xiro, he became a member of the R&D Institute.

Sterling's second condition, to put it bluntly, is to find Gu Xiro to customize three different styles of special Moon Silver.

This may take some time for Gu Xiro, but it will definitely not be too difficult.

So, if he had to choose one of the two, Gu Xiro would definitely choose the second one.

Based on the price Sterling offered to Gu Xiro, if Angel went to Sterling, the probability would be similar.

However, Qi Li's equipment will not take half a year, and it is estimated that it can be completed in one to two months. In this way, it may only take about 10 points?
