Chapter 340 Experimental Record!
Witte looked at the metal book that Candice took out, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
"Are you serious?"
Candice naturally understood what Witt was talking about and smiled sheepishly.
"It also contains many conjectures of mine, many of which are relatively general. Just don't pay attention to them."
Witte glanced at Candice, said nothing, and carefully looked at the experimental records in front of him.
As I said before, it is not very thick. In addition, due to the way the metal pages are written, the pages themselves are relatively thick. After a simple conversion, this book only has more than a hundred pages.
In addition, the pages of the metal book are not written on both sides, so the content recorded in this experiment is even less.
Werther did not open it directly, but first removed a little rust from the pages, and then put it in his mouth.
"The alloy used to make this book contains a lot of metals, but this rough combination... is not consistent with a qualified alchemist!"
Seeing Werther's actions, Candice's face showed a look of satisfaction. If nothing else, just these inspection steps showed that Werther's alchemy level was not low.
When a good alchemist sees a metal object, his first reaction is mostly to observe the material itself.
With this thought in mind, Candice said: "I have already investigated this. I won't say what metal it is. I think there is no one who knows metal better than the metal dragon.
Let me tell you the conclusion directly!
According to my investigation, there are nineteen types of metals used in this book. Coupled with the unprofessional proportions, I boldly guess that these metals are most likely leftovers from alchemy.
There should be no dragon that is so boring that he collects nineteen kinds of metals, smelts them into a piece of alloy without any matching, and then makes a metal book.
It is time-consuming and labor-intensive but has no great effect. Let alone an alchemist, even an apprentice who has just come into contact with alchemy cannot do such a thing.
So, this is not important.
The important thing is that these nineteen metals can all be found in the same place, which is the Morton Mountains in the north of the Sky Plains.
Of course, this is just my guess about the origin of this metal book.
I got the book from the remaining veins in the eastern part of the Morton Mountains.
Only later did I notice that there was an alchemical relic hidden behind this metal book.
Naturally, the origin of this book became a guess about the location of the alchemical ruins, and it turns out that my guess was correct.
You will know this as you continue reading. "
Witte glanced up at Candice, then turned back to look at Candice's research notes.
"I think this thing is useless!"
As he spoke, Werther opened the cover of the metal book. The first page... contained nothing, completely covered in rust.
However, he noticed a small pattern of a six-pointed star within a concentric circle on the cover side of the page.
Seeing this pattern, a flash of surprise flashed in Werther's eyes.
“No wonder it’s become like this, it’s been hundreds of thousands of years!”
Candace nodded.
"The age of alchemy represented by the six-pointed star array should be from 400,000 to 150,000 years ago to be precise. Without suitable conditions, it would be difficult for metal books to be preserved for such a long time.
I have two guesses about this. One is that the owner of this experimental record was from that period. This book should have been left in the alchemy ruins and escaped by chance.
It could be that the dragon beast did it, or it could be that this book was obtained by another dragon. When the other dragon was searching for this alchemy ruins, an accident occurred, causing the book to be destroyed by a dragon beast.
Another possibility is that the owner of this book was an alchemist who highly respected the alchemy of that period. Even after that period passed, the other party still used this mark. "
Witte nodded and continued to read the experimental records, page after page, until the thirteenth page, the content was found.
"……pity!
The failure of this experiment was a big blow to me. Why did the theory he explored fail when I put it to use?
No, this should be my problem.
I think I should take a day off and look for new material. "
Seeing this sentence, Werther frowned.
Not because of the content, but because of the metal book itself, the hole was chewed out in the upper part. From this text, it can be seen that it is more like a diary than an experimental record.
The damaged part above is the most important.
On the other side, Candice seemed to know what Werther was thinking, and said, "As you thought, the first half of this experimental record was completely damaged.
Only from the fragments in the second half can some information be found. "
Werther continued to search, and after flipping through three more pages, new content appeared again, this time there was only one sentence.
"...What, is your record wrong? Why did it still fail!"
"What is a name?"
Candace nodded.
"If nothing else, this is indeed a name, and this word appears many times in the following content.
In addition, it is not difficult to infer from these words that the theory used by the owner of this experimental record in alchemy should come from this alchemist named ‘Shi’. "
As he spoke, Candice's eyes flashed with a strange light. The content behind was a bit bad. This alchemist was not doing ordinary alchemy.
On the other side, after getting a positive answer, Witt continued to search.
"... What, tell me why, why are you still failing, don't you call yourself the greatest alchemist, why are you always failing, I don't have much time..."
"... There is progress!
The reaction of the experimental subject is something I have never seen in my previous experiments. I am in a good mood today, so I won't scold you for the time being. I hope your theory is really correct.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, I really don't want to go to that place again."
Seeing this, Witt frowned. The three words "experimental subject" gave him a bad premonition.
He quickly turned a few pages, and suddenly, Witt stopped turning the book. Looking at the content above, his pupils shrank.
"Failed again!
The experimental subject died suddenly, and there are no suitable dragons around. Do I have to go find dragon eggs?
I don't have that much time.
Besides, it seems that a powerful guy has come to that plain. I don't want to conflict with him. Do I have to move away from here?"
Seeing this, Witt couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Dragon body alchemy!"
Candice nodded.
"It's written very clearly!"
Witt continued to turn the pages. When he reached the back part, there was more content, but the information contained in it was very little, and the experimental record became a real diary.
Words seemed to be his way of venting his anger.
He kept cursing "What" and a powerful dragon living in the plain.
Finally, when he turned to the last page, Witt saw the name he wanted to see!
