Chapter 1751 Alchemy Laboratory

The enlightenment beetle shook its tentacles, and after a long silence, it sent out telepathy.

"Master, to be frank, I don't fully understand your words, but I can feel that you are sincerely for my own good, although some words are too sad, which makes me very sad... If I have the ability to cry, maybe I can't help but cry."

"Dear master, before saying goodbye, is there anything else I can do for you? No matter what, as long as it can temporarily relieve your sorrow, I will be happy to help you."

Joan thought for a long time, took out a small needle from his pocket, and said to the Enlightenment Beetle:

"Your blood pedigree includes a type that I have never heard of, called 'Titan Creature'. I want to collect some blood from your body as a research sample. This will not affect your health. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind."

The Enlightenment Beetle readily agreed, and took the initiative to open its carapace-like elytra to facilitate Joan's blood collection.

Joan took half a tube of brown-yellow tissue fluid from the enlightenment beetle, and then fed it a bottle of "God's Tears" soaked potion to restore its vitality, and opened a gap in the floor-to-ceiling window of the study.

The enlightenment beetle waved its tentacles to say goodbye to Joan, and flew out of the window with its wings. It was originally a creature in this manor, not an intruder from outside, and eating fruits in the forest would not trigger a magic alarm.

Watching the figure of the Enlightenment Beetle disappear into the depths of the fruit forest, Joan closed the window, turned around and boarded the metal spiral staircase in the center of the library hall, and continued to explore other rooms in the castle.

The main building on the fifth floor of the castle is an alchemy laboratory. Joan's only impression of this place is "stinky"!

There were no golem guards in the alchemy laboratory, but it was immobilized with the third-level "stinky cloud spell". Even if the spell was used to create a wind to disperse the stinky cloud, the poisonous gas still swept in after a while.

Two years ago, when Joan and three companions were exploring the castle, they stayed briefly in the alchemy laboratory on the fifth floor. Afterwards, everyone was so smoked that they couldn't support themselves, so they escaped with nausea.

Joan had taken the herbal porridge made from the eggs of the snake-dragon girl, and was extremely tolerant to poisonous gas. She stayed in the alchemy laboratory for five minutes longer, insisted on casting spells and searched in a hurry, but found nothing of value. He didn't find a secret door or a dark room, so he rushed out holding his nose.

This time when he revisited the old place, Joan felt that there was no need to break into the stinking gas chamber in person. He cast a spell to unlock the secret lock on the door of the laboratory, and remotely opened the door with the "mage's hand" to take advantage of the smell. Before the air leaked out, he quickly dispatched six glass magic eyes to sneak into the house through the crack of the door.

The glass magic eye is immune to poisonous gas, and also shares the "dark vision", "detection magic", "detection of secret doors", "see through invisibility" and "fog vision" blessed by Joan himself through the "myth link", so you can take it easy Walking around the stinky alchemy laboratory, searching every corner carefully.

Joan's patience and prudence were not in vain. One of the glass magic eyes detected a very slight fluctuation of magic power in a huge alchemy cauldron.

At first, Joan thought that the alchemy cauldron was a magical device, but subsequent investigations denied this guess.

The fluctuation of magic power does not originate from the alchemy cauldron, but from the contents.

Joan switched his perspective to the glass magic eye. Through the yellow poisonous gas, he saw the alchemy cauldron—to put it bluntly, a large crucible—which contained half a pot of dark substances.

Over time, these compounds have become asphalt-like in texture, and the original composition cannot be seen at all.

After thinking about it, Joan could only think that there was some kind of magical substance buried deep in the cauldron of "asphalt". If he wanted to find out its true colors, he had to bite the bullet and dig out the asphalt.

Doing such a drudgery in a stinking room reminded Joan of a manure collector.

Qiao An really didn't want to do it himself, so he took out the "portable dimension hole" and called out the magical mecha "Zaku".

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Zaku, I entrust you with a glorious and arduous mission..."

In this way, Joan sent Zaku, who was neither afraid of poison gas fumigation nor toxin burning his hands, into the alchemy laboratory, heroically digging open the pot of ancient medicinal residues with his bare hands, and finally found what Joan wanted - A small metal cube.

After Zaku came back, Joan pinched his nose and used a "magic trick" to dispel the stench attached to it, and cleaned up the weird cube in its hand, revealing a blue-black charming metallic luster.

Joan recognized it as a fine gold product at a glance, and became more and more curious.

For safety reasons, Joan did not approach the pure gold cube rashly. Instead, he hid behind the magic mecha soldier, remotely touched the "mage's hand", and remotely touched the small cube with a side length of just over an inch.

After tossing and fumbling for a long time, no inscriptions or marks were found. Every plane is as smooth as a mirror, and it looks a bit like the "steel cube" made by Joan.

Joan used the "Mage's Hand" to remotely control the "see-through hand mirror" to look at the pure gold cube, and all he could see through the hand mirror was chaos.

This shows that the inside of the cube is not solid, not only is there another mystery, but also attached with some kind of enchantment specially used to hinder the detection of spells.

Joan's speculation was quickly verified. When he painted the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the surface of the adamantine cube, he quickly analyzed that this seemingly inconspicuous little thing possessed as many as six magic spells, namely the 2nd ring "Complete Restoration", 3rd ring Level 5 "Shrinkage", 5th level "Strong Creation", 5th level "Mage's Secret Room", 6th level "Advanced Magical Axe", and 6th level "Advanced Shrinkage"!

Among them, the 5th ring "Mage's Secret Room" is the source of blocking the magic effect of "See-Through Hand Mirror". As the name suggests, this spell is specially used to create a secret room.

The space protected by the "mage's secret room" is dark from the outside to the inside. It can not only block the line of sight, but also block the detection of prophecy spells, and outside creatures cannot use teleportation spells to enter the secret room.

The adamantine cube is also attached to two spells that Joan is interested in. Among them, the effect of the 6th-level "Advanced Supernatural Workmanship" is the same as that of the psychic power of the same name, and the 6th-level "Advanced Shrinkage" is even more powerful!

This contemporary lost spell has roughly the same function as the third-level "shrinking spell", but there are two special features.

First of all, the upper limit of the volume of raw materials that can be processed by the "advanced shrinkage technique" is ten times that of the "shrinkage technique", and can shrink objects of up to 4096 cubic feet to 1 cubic foot.

In addition, the biggest difference between "Advanced Shrink Art" and "Shrink Art" is that... it is also applicable to magic items.

From this, it is not difficult to draw an exciting inference: an object that has been shrunk by the "shrinking technique" has become a magic item, and it can be shrunk again by the "advanced shrinking technique"!
