Chapter 269 Side Effects of Alchemy Potion

"Yes, that's a good summary..." Professor Flamel nodded, and then asked, "How much do you know about alchemical manufacturing and alchemical pharmacies?"

Qin Weijie thought for a moment and said: "With the development of alchemy, some problems have arisen. Alchemical manufacturing and pharmacy are trying to break some of the limitations of alchemy from two directions. Manufacturing is exploring the way out, while pharmacy is looking inward. Looking for a breakthrough.”

"Haha, it goes without saying that the "taboo" of the "dark side" has polluted alchemy and restricted its development. Many alchemical theoretical foundations have been polluted. In recent years, many alchemist masters have fallen into madness. What's more, alienation has occurred.

That is why we need to change the alchemy, but we are divided on the direction of change.

Scholars of alchemy and manufacturing are worried that the method of using potions to enhance the human body to achieve evolution will be watched by the "dark side". If you are not careful, alienation will occur in the process of taking potions, so they advocate directly modifying the human body to obtain Stronger power. "

Qin Weijie has experienced the modification of the human body, and the representative figure is Test.

That guy directly transformed his whole body. His heart became a magic energy response device. His bones were made of fine steel. What flowed in his blood vessels was not blood, but liquefied and purified magic power. Except for the brain Test, there was no One piece is native.

Test's hands, feet, and various organs were transformed into various weapons, capable of fighting and resisting. In Qin Weijie's opinion, he was a cybermaniac. Lan

Recently, Qin Weijie and Tie Long discussed the topic of body transformation through letters. Tie Long said that Test was a madman and his ultimate goal was to transform his own brain into an idealized pure energy creature ( It is difficult to define whether it can be called a living thing).

After Tie Long's description, Qin Weijie felt that the ideal pure energy creature that Test was pursuing was a bit like building himself into a digital AI and then creating countless bodies. He could be resurrected in the body at will, because the body It has been transformed, so there is no need to worry about lifespan and aging. It is a different kind of immortality.

After listening to Tie Long's explanation, Qin Weijie felt that Test was really a lunatic. Fortunately, his grandson was born in the 20th century. If he had been born in the information age of the 21st century, he might have used Muggle technology to create an omnic crisis. .

"It seems that you should know something about human body modification, so I won't say more. I won't comment on whether their direction is right or wrong, but is abandoning the body really evolution? Has this deviated from the original intention of alchemy? "

"Hmm... If you ask me that, it's hard for me to say! I'm actually quite curious about the direction of alchemy and potion research.

Since you feel that manufacturing has deviated from the original intention of alchemy, how does pharmacy refine and evolve? Qin Weijie asked respectfully.

"Traditional alchemical potions have always been based on the preparation of various types of potions. The alchemical potions configured are the kind of potions with obvious bonuses and obvious effects that can allow people to gain strength in a short period of time. Generally, they can obtain a certain item in a short period of time. Talent or ability that one does not possess.

For example, the "Necromantic Potion" can be used on a corpse to turn it into a living corpse. After the alchemist drinks it himself, he can gain the ability to control the living corpse for a short time.

It's a pity that this potion has been contaminated by the taboo, because the ability obtained by the user does not come from himself, but is only borrowed from somewhere for a short period of time, and operating undead creatures is the authority of death, so it has touched the authority of the "taboo" , thus being affected by "taboos".

Now the living corpses awakened by the undead potion no longer obey orders, and even attack alchemists. Alchemists who take the potion can always hear "forbidden" murmurs. Some people go crazy in the murmurs, and some are directly harvested. The soul has become an alienated monster. "Professor Lemay explained in detail.

"What about your reform direction?" Qin Weijie asked.

"Today, the direction of our reform is no longer to pursue people to gain certain abilities or authority in the short term, but to start to complement the human body and make this external power become its own power."

"Completion?"

"For example, we all know that human skin is extremely fragile, and even sharp objects can pierce our skin.

skin. Lan

Therefore, we use the heartstrings of the dragon to prepare an alchemical potion, which allows the person who takes the potion to attach illusory dragon scales to their skin, giving them stronger defense capabilities and making up for the weak skin.

Also, there is a magical animal called the thunderbird, which can control thunder and lightning. We have developed a potion that can give humans the talent to control thunder and lightning.

For another example, we all know that although using the Illusion Curse can make a person invisible, it is easily discovered by the enemy. However, there is a creature called the Invisible Beast. We used its heart to develop a potion that can make humans more invisible. Invisibility.

In general, the improvement of the ability of the current alchemical pharmacy is not limited to the short term, but a long-term subtle change.

It can be regarded as a kind of evolution of human beings, a kind of complementation, looking for talents and abilities that can be complemented by other creatures.

Of course, these abilities and talents do not come from "taboos", so there is no need to worry about being contaminated. We just plunder the essence of other creatures to supplement ourselves.

However, because of this, the potions made by the reformed alchemy can only be regarded as a kind of awakening of talent in the early stage of taking the potion, and it is not considered to be a complete mastery of this ability, but it gives you a possibility, with unlimited potential, and you can completely develop, explore and dig it out by yourself in the later stage. "Lan

Speaking of alchemy, Professor Lemay's eyes lit up, and his fanatical look made Qin Weijie see the shadow of a mad scientist.

Feeling that he was a little out of control, Professor Lemay hurriedly restrained his emotions and continued: "Of course, the new potion also has some side effects. We are now overcoming it..."

Qin Weijie continued to ask: "Side effects? What side effects?"

Professor Lemay coughed lightly with some embarrassment: "Ahem... Side effects can be roughly divided into two categories. The first type is that wizards who take the corresponding potion will have some characteristics of the main material of the potion.

For example, the dragon pattern potion that I mentioned before can attach the phantom of dragon scales under the skin. The side effect is that there is a probability that the local dragonization will occur, and some experimental subjects will grow Some of them have dragon tails, some have dragon pupils, some have dragon horns, dragon claws, etc...."

"Uh... hehe, the side effects are quite serious! What about the other side effects?"

"The other side effect is that there is a chance that you will be infected with certain habits and personalities of the corresponding creatures. For example, the test subjects of the dragon pattern potion have no physical mutations, but have lost the ability to walk upright and habitually crawl like dragons; there are also invisible potions made by invisible beasts. There are test subjects whose indicators are normal, but after taking the potion, they inexplicably develop kleptomania and can't help stealing things;" Lan
