Chapter 325: Learning About Alchemy

—–

"Wouldn't it be better to just ask the dwarves to do it for us instead of trying to learn the skill?" Wondered Emeraldine. "You could also create an Undead for the task."

"Ugh… I know, but I like collecting Skills, it is pretty fun." I said. "So I'll try my best anyways."

"Sure… Well, whatever's the case, these elemental jewels could also be used for making other things." Emeraldine said. "Such as special accessories, clothes, and more. Alchemy is not that good at making weapons or armor but accessories or other smaller things seem pretty easy enough. Although Helga really wanted us to ask Myriad for help if we wanted accessories."

"Don't worry, we don't really have to tell her about this, hehe." I giggled.

"I guess so…" Emeraldine said. "Alchemy Clay in specific is a very good component for accessories and other magic items, so I'll make some right away. Can you bring me the Magic Cauldron, Maria? I can teach you how to make as well.

"Oooh! Sure!"

I quickly took out the Magic Cauldron I brought inside my Inventory, which belonged to Emeraldine now, and by infusing some magic into it, it quickly began to boil, as the magic essence within the cauldron turned into a sparkly and colorful liquid.

Alchemy in this world was very game-like, you first needed to learn the basics which always required Magic and Mana to utilize, if you learn the Alchemy Skill things can become easier, and if you learn Brewing and Mixing, things become even better, the strongest of these skills would be Synthesis, which is a crucial magic used for synthetizing the magical components of various materials.

Like how we did potions before, the herbs need to be processed using the Alchemy Skill and magic, and then mixed together into the cauldron alongside other materials, and sometimes special ways of brewing which are called Alchemy Techniques.

"Gumstone is very valuable, this is the first time I am making Alchemy Clay… This is a pillar component material for a bunch of cool stuff!" Emeraldine seemed very happy. In fact, I had never seen her so excited before.

"Do we just put the Gumstones inside?" I wondered.

"Yeah, yeah, that'll do it!" Said Emeraldine. "After that… We must add some Neutralizer!"

"Neutralizer? Wait, those are the white and green potions you did the other day?" I wondered.

"Yep! Neutralizers are a very important part of alchemy. They're special components that help bind materials together. Each color has a special element. We'll use the white one which is element-less for Alchemy Clay." Said Emeraldine. "Also, we'll add some more ores… These Black Stones are enough, pour twenty of them there."

"Twenty?! Well, they're just stones at the end of the day…"

As I poured all the ingredients inside the cauldron, Emeraldine took a few small seeds and put them inside.

"These are Fire Cracker seeds remember them? They're imbued with Fire Element and are good enough for this." She said. "According to my uncle, to make Alchemy Clay we need Earth and Fire Element, White Neutralizer, and Gumstone, and a ton of Mana, more than I can muster myself…"

"Then I'll help in that regard!" I said, quickly infusing my Mana into Emeraldine. She regulated the mana and slowly infused it into the Magic Cauldron.

Partner and Lucifer were watching as if this were some sort of show, in silence and with awe and expectation of what might come out.

"Now… Synthesis!" We said in unison. The power of two Alchemists merged together as the elements and components of all the materials we poured inside began to merge together, as if it were a work of the gods themselves.

A bright flash of light completely consumed the entire room for a little while, and then, white smoke began coming out of the cauldron. Partner and Lucifer ran to the windows and opened them for the smoke to come out.

"I-Is it done?! Did it fail?" I asked in fear. Alchemy has a chance of failure, where all items end up being wasted and the resulting item is something often useless.

Emeraldine ran back to the cauldron putting her hand inside and then…

"It's done!"

What was in her hand was a large white cube resembling clay, it was shining bright white, and had a strong magical essence within it.

"Wow… it actually worked at the first trial." I said in surprise.

"It did, right?" Emeraldine happily said. "With this, we can now make some rings and… give you one to… ahhh…"

Emeraldine suddenly feel lethargic, almost falling into the floor as I caught her with my arms and ended storing the Alchemy Clay inside my Inventory, I found another three more of these watermelon-sized cubes inside the cauldron, so it created a ton, not only one.

"She fell asleep." I sighed, looking at the sleepy Emeraldine.

"I guess she exceeded herself, Alchemy Clay seems like a very advanced alchemy item. If it wasn't for your Mana, she wouldn't had been able to do it." Lucifer analyzed, as I carried Emeraldine to my bed and covered her in blankets.

"For now let's leave her sleeping." I said.

"She looks cute while sleeping…" Partner said. "Ah! Right, we need to wake up early tomorrow, right?!"

"R-Right! Let's sleep now!" I jumped on bed.

"Wait you two! We have to clean this mess!" Lucifer pointed at the magic liquid and all the ores thrown over the floor.

"Ehhh… I can always just store any mess with Inventory!" I said, waving my hand as all the mess disappeared in an instant and reappeared inside my Inventory.

"…Well, that's sure convenient." Lucifer quickly went to sleep on his own bed, as we quickly decided to sleep without doing any night activities, as we were all quite exhausted, me included. Using tons of magic for Alchemy Clay was exhausting to the bone, which I lack.

But I really wonder what Emeraldine meant to say… She was too excited about the Alchemy Clay.

I think she said something about… making a magic ring?
