[The Underworld]: A mountain range occupied by resentful spirits.
Recently, for some unknown reason, it often attacks passing travelers. And the content of the commission Jolian took is to clear the resentful spirits in it.
"Come to think of it, this place becoming like this has something to do with you, Xiao'an..."
Fu Xinyue started to give the two of them some background information.
"This place was once called [Evil Ghost Mountain Range], which was the location of the Evil Ghost Guild.
"Back then, they were drawing the [Taboo Life Alchemy], using newly - born babies as sacrificial offerings. You discovered it and wiped out the guild.
"Originally, it was common knowledge that there were resentful spirits in this place, but the number wasn't large, so people didn't pay much attention. But you, without a word, increased the number by over a thousand. Coupled with the accumulation and fermentation over so many years, it's no wonder it's in such chaos now!"
"However, it's not excluded that someone is deliberately guiding it. After all, it has only just started attacking travelers now..."
"Uh... I won't take the blame for this. It's all Yuangan's doing..." Jolian silently complained in her heart.
Hearing this, Lotus was greatly shocked. Truly worthy of being the Fierce God! She changed the local name all by herself!
Is this something an alchemist who is not good at fighting can do!
"Jolian! From today on! You're also my rival!" The pink - haired girl, getting excited again, grabbed the other person's shoulder.
"Hehe! Don't even think about it!"
"By the way, Xinyue, what's the status of this commission now?"
Xiao'an thought about her state when she first transmigrated here. It didn't seem like she could have completed it.
"Of course it failed. Now the commission of [The Underworld] has been re - graded and re - defined by the [Holy Association]. It will probably be another month before it can be taken again.
"But it's easy to guess that the [Holy Association] won't take it seriously. At most, they'll just raise the level by one and that's it. As long as the world doesn't end, they'll keep slacking off and being wise after the event."
Fu Xinyue said through gritted teeth, obviously hating the [Holy Association] to the extreme.
"But you don't have to worry too much, Xiao'an. Although this commission is the responsibility of our guild, Yimansa has already reserved to take it. You don't need to go again."
"Hmm? She reserved to take it?" Jolian stroked her chin and thought. "Can I go with her?"
"Ah? You still want to go?" Xinyue looked at her in confusion. This commission clearly seems like a bad job. Why would someone be eager to take it?
"Well, you can, but you have to team up with Yimansa. Only if she agrees can you go with her. After all, she's the person in charge of this commission now."
"Oh, I see. I'll go talk to her later."
"Yeah, that's fine. Right now she's probably in a bad mood, and if you go, you might end up getting killed."
Fu Xinyue nodded and said seriously, "But Xiao'an, you have to quickly master your previous alchemy skills. Otherwise, if you encounter danger, Yimansa might not be able to take care of you."
"I know. I started learning yesterday..."
The three of them chatted casually for a while longer, then Jolian said goodbye to them.
She found an empty space near the guild and sat down, then continued to study the alchemy of this world.
As for why she was sitting on the ground, it was probably because Yimansa had used too much force yesterday and blew up the entire guild.
Now [The Other Shore] is in the process of reconstruction. Since she was considered half - injured, she didn't need to participate...
Besides... with her current strength, she couldn't do much either. She couldn't just go to the crowd and be a cheering mascot, could she?
Nearing noon, Jolian had studied almost a hundred alchemical arrays. It was worth mentioning that... those strange eyes didn't appear?
Maybe it was because there were so many people? Or perhaps it was because both Yimansa and Lady Vesir were present at the same time?
Xiao'an looked at the busy crowd. This couldn't be verified for the time being.
But one thing was certain, that is, Lotus didn't remember seeing the eyes!
Or rather, her memory of that time was a bit hazy?
Just now, the idle pink - haired girl had come to see her several times.
Jolian took this opportunity to test her. As a result, Lotus only remembered that she seemed to have been frightened by her. She wasn't sure exactly what happened, and then she started fighting with Yimansa.
"Forcing the memory of the eyewitness to be blurred and forgotten?" Xiao'an thought thoughtfully.
Soon she gave up thinking. Instead of spending time researching something with little known information, it was better to study something practical.
Like alchemy. At least this thing could improve her strength, so that she wouldn't be pushed around when encountering danger.
Apparently, being forcefully "pinned to the wall" by the pink - haired girl had left a deep psychological shadow on her, making her now have an urgent desire for strength.
Thinking this, she shifted her gaze back to the book. Based on her morning's study, she could now basically confirm that alchemical arrays were similar to the circuit boards in her previous life.
Take the blasting alchemical array in this world as an example. The principle of its drawing... was very similar to the core chip of the pulsed magnetic storm grenade in the world she used to live in!
The only difference is that the array requires preparation time, while the grenade doesn't. Moreover, the grenade can even be stored and carried!
As we all know, the reason why alchemists are not good at fighting is that the wind - up time for them to draw lethal arrays is too long. In that amount of time, a mage could already cast a cartload of spells.
PS: Life Alchemy is an exception!
As for the alchemical equipment they make... most of it is mainly used to enhance themselves and increase the destructive power of weapons.
The only thing that can be considered long - range is the alchemical magic scepter, but it's too troublesome to make. No one is willing to study it, and it's also very costly.
After all, in a magic world, where do you think their technological talent points are allocated? Things like airplanes and cannons are impossible to exist.
Even if there are any, they are made by some idle Holy Legacy Mages. Alchemists simply can't reach such a high - level realm. After all, it's a watered - down version.
Besides, since it's just a casual strike from a mage, why would they study firearms? So in this regard, this world is still backward.
Hmm? What about the original owner? She's an exception. To be precise, the alchemy she used no longer belongs to the category of alchemy. It's more like a pirated Holy Legacy...
The specific reasons will be explained later.
"If that's the case... can I replicate those equipments from my previous life in this world!"
At this thought, Jolian's eyes obviously brightened. This was the restlessness engraved in her DNA.
After all, she's an android who explored the most dangerous places in the universe. Firearms and weapons are like her wives!
Or it can even be said to be her weakness!
Because anything related to weapons would reduce her IQ to a negative number.
For example, if you tell her, "I'll make weapon wives for you. Will you be my wife?"
She could nod and agree immediately! It's really outrageous!
Ahem... I digressed.
Having an idea, Jolian immediately started to act, but just as she was about to start, she encountered a problem again.
The original owner's alchemical utensils... seemed to have been blown up by Yimansa...
Even if she had more ideas, she didn't know where to start!
"Destroy it all. I'm tired!"
