Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 734 The Art of Sealing (2-in-1)

"The Hermesian Seal!"

In the mage's mansion, in the alchemy room.

Roy activated the ability he gained from his innate talent, converting his own magic power into sorcery energy and injecting it into the small plate in front of him.

Suddenly, a piece of fresh fish on the plate emitted a faint glow, filled with a mysterious spiritual aura.

Roy picked it up and placed it in a small box that had been prepared beforehand.

"Corrosion experiment..."

The Sands of Time, time accelerates...

A two-week cycle!

Under his instructions, Freya, as his alchemy assistant, operated quickly and skillfully, soon adjusting the parameters of the magic array and activating it.

Inside the magic circle, the precious material "Sands of Time," which had been placed there beforehand, was rapidly being consumed.

The effect it achieved was that, in just a short time, it was sufficient to simulate a half-month cycle in the experiment.

Now Roy is also wealthy. Ordinary wizards would need ten days to half a month to get results from these experiments, but he can complete them immediately, which is an improvement in efficiency.

This gave him a sense of the one-click acceleration feature he had in his previous life, reminiscent of the pay-to-win games he played.

For him now, time is probably more precious than most resources, and being able to buy time with money is a good thing.

This was also thanks to the Seven Towers Alliance's participation in the war in the Ellen Starfield last time. They found some precious minerals and allocated them to him, providing him with some quotas.

"The results are in, and just as you said, this 'sealing' effect resists the effects of the passage of time!"

Based on the standard dosage mentioned earlier, the calculated duration is sufficient to sustain the product for approximately one year!

Freya, who was in charge of the inspection and testing, quickly reported back with some surprise.

"It seems similar to the Mark of Vengeance from the Spear of Vengeance, probably also the kind where 1 point of power equals 1 year's worth of power!"

Roy secretly guessed that this might be related to some kind of power of divinity, or rather, soul status.

Currently, the base multiplier is 100%.

One point of divine power is equivalent to one year, etc...

"Continue with the measurements. We need to do more tests, comparing different time periods such as one month, three months, six months, one year, and even more..."

Roy thought for a moment and asked Freya to design the relevant experimental plan, striving to obtain results quickly while controlling the consumption rate of the Sands of Time.

……

For the next month or so, Roy focused on this and thoroughly confirmed the basic principles of the Hermesian seal.

Indeed, as instinctively as it appears in my mind and as confirmed by simple measurements, this talent can transform one's magic into corresponding divine power and seal it with the power of the laws of time!
The consumption ratio is 1 degree of divine power to maintain for 1 year, and the spell multiplier is approximately 100%.

This is indeed a calculation formula similar to "power," which may be affected by the properties of the sealed object itself, but the basic difference is not significant.

Therefore, you can use it to do many things.

For example, preserving a piece of easily perishable fresh meat for 3000 years!
In fact, under natural conditions, there are indeed some things that can remain naturally incorruptible.

But that would likely result in something like a mummy, a "dried meat," which is quite different from the freshness achieved by this kind of sealing technique.

In addition, this ability, like the Eye of Hermes, cannot be applied to objects with excessively strong energy or those possessing independent will.

It cannot be used for combat purposes, such as sealing enemies.

However, it is more than enough to process alchemical materials and products.

There are probably many techniques to be explored here, but Roy has already found the most practical use for them.

"We can produce more mayfly elements, or flammable and explosive unstable products, and seal them away for future use."

The old "Liquidus Sealing Technique" can also be phased out!
It can only work with liquids, which is too limiting. Only with this "Hermesian seal" can there be a true miracle of storage!

Roy suddenly felt that some of the jokes from his past life were about to come true...

You can wrap your alchemical products in oil paper or similar containers for future use.

After that, Roy began to focus on mass casting and blessing.

He wants to determine the boundaries of this capability and apply it more broadly.

For example, it's like trying to cast spells on a bunch of perishable materials one by one, which is both mentally and physically exhausting.

If the results are below a certain limit, it's not worth it at all.

However, if a spellcasting technique is developed that can cover a large number of people with a wave of the hand and precisely control the storage time, then it can be fully utilized.

And based on his knowledge of his alchemical talent, he could indeed do just that.

It just takes a little practice; practice makes perfect.

Another noteworthy feature is that time will stand still inside materials or alchemical products that have been sealed.

In other words, it's equivalent to being hit by a stronger version of the 9th-circle spell "Time Stop"...

Keep stopping!
If it is a combat puppet or the like, it will be unable to maintain vigilance or other functions.

Roy's solution was to reinforce and seal most of the easily damaged or rusted parts, while the parts that were meant to be alerted and activated would not be sealed.

It needs a "self-awakening" mechanism to break the seal when necessary.

This involves reverse operations such as canceling the seal.

Furthermore, is it possible to transfer this ability to others for their use?

The original ability is probably impossible to achieve, because it depends on rank and divine power.

But after reading some materials, Roy discovered that many things were originally preserved using vacuum sealing or other sealing techniques.

One can use multiple layers of insurance, and even the "Hermes Seal" itself only needs to be used in the most critical situations.

Exporting "immortal parts," or "Roy's oil paper packages," or "Roy's reserve food" to other wizards is perfectly acceptable.

This is much more cost-effective than simply sealing with energy, and it also has good economic benefits.

"I feel that this alchemical talent alone is enough to support the skills of a high-level wizard!"
Just like the previous appraisal skill, [Eye of Hermes]...

Having only one skill is enough to get by.

However, just as he was preparing to arrange subsequent research, the college suddenly contacted him.

"Sir Kirick, we have an important task that we would like you to take on and resolve."

The person in charge of communication was Diev, and Roy knew he wouldn't open up easily, so he asked, "What's the mission?"

"A place that has the potential to grow into a wizarding world, the temple world of Egris..."

There have been some problems!

******
"Um?

The Temple World, Egliss?

Roy paused for a moment, then remembered that the Academy World of Archadmia was not just about taking care of its own affairs.

It also bears the responsibility of education, and serves the functions of what the powers call cultural victory and the export of witchcraft.

The dark witch world of Diovis, which he had previously visited, was also within its sphere of influence.

This is generally determined by the cultural form and the composition of supernatural powers in the corresponding world.

Roy asked, "Is this Egliss a low-magic world that is not very developed yet?"

Diev said, "That's not the case."

That world had reached level three, but the main supernatural beings were concentrated in the Temple, along with the corresponding Inquisition, the Knights Templar, and so on. Most nobles worshipped the Lord of Light, though some worshipped other gods, but these were relatively few…”

After listening for a while, Roy roughly understood that the place was still in a medieval social structure.

The development of witchcraft was quite weak.

Sure enough, Diev told him, "The church there practices a rather strict rule, using magic to imprison thought and reject heresy."

Recently, the development momentum was interrupted because the wizards who had previously been stationed there misjudged the situation and acted recklessly.

Based on our experience in multiple worlds, it is highly likely that we will soon enter a 'witch hunt era', where various magical and scientific pioneers will be persecuted.

We once implemented the 'Spark Project' there, attempting to transform it into fertile ground for witchcraft through the passing down of the torch.

But now, the flame is showing signs of going out.

Therefore, we need you to cultivate and guide new sparks to ensure the torch is passed on…

He then went on to explain the situation further, letting Roy know that a small group of first-level wizards sent by the academy were already stationed there.

Most of them are lecturers, and they are responsible for the "teaching support" tasks of various colleges.

There are also some second-level wizards.

However, due to the change in the situation, they were all suddenly plunged into danger.

If I accept this task, I will also need to help protect them. Whether I stay or leave in the future will be notified by the academy.

"What good can I do for you?"

Roy thought for a moment and then asked Diev.

"Of course, the priority is to spread your own doctrines and guide them to learn the Luo family alchemy."

The academy also offers you god fragments or corresponding demigod and legendary level resources to exchange for.

It could also be special resources and benefits from medium to high-level magic worlds.

If you can successfully reverse the situation and help the academy regain control of that world, you'll even get a share of local specialties.

This is similar to the reward for conquering the Nard Star Gate and heading to the Central Star Region.

I had similar experiences back when I was on Potan and Glastan.

Unfortunately, that only applies to the challenge difficulty of ordinary high-level wizards.

If it were me...

The profits earned from the disembarkation of a single warship, the "Angelos," were many times greater.

Thinking of this, Roy's heart stirred slightly.

"You just said that world worships a Radiant Lord, and its main power is concentrated in the Temple..."

"Yes, their conventional combat strength is actually only at the second stage!"
The real threat comes from the 'divine beings'!

"So, the Holy Light Messenger is in charge of the world!"

Roy understood immediately.

The Lord of Radiance is the source of holy light in Heavenly Mountain, an ancient and powerful deity at the level of an eighth-level god-king.

The worlds He rules over are countless, and He is a symbol of light and holiness. Different names and identities also represent constantly evolving divine status and domains, as well as new incarnations.

Most of the time, it is the messengers of the Holy Light and their corresponding priests who spread His faith.

The enemies the wizards will encounter in this world of Eglis are largely the same kind of Holy Light messengers they have faced before.

They possess the means to descend into the material world, walking among humans in the form of saints, divine beings.

The upper limit depends on the world level and the physical body it carries—that is, the so-called incarnation of a god, a divine child, a saintess, and the like!
"You can rest assured that their power in the material world is limited, and you should be able to handle it with your abilities."

In addition, the academy will also provide some resources and intelligence.

Furthermore, the situation in Achinira will also be very cooperative!

"Oh?"

Roy ignored what he said about resources and intelligence and focused on the situation in Achinira.

"You actually have an alliance with the sorcerer?"

Why not unite?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The Church wanted to imprison knowledge, rule it with magic, and transform it into a kingdom of pure faith.

Our ideal is to create a wizarding world...

In a sense, we share a common vision with the monks.

"Understood, I'm willing to accept this task."

After a brief moment of hesitation, Roy agreed much more readily than Diev had anticipated.

"We can also... wait?"

You agreed?

"why not?"

Roy said calmly.

Besides having a certain degree of confidence in his own strength, another important reason is that he has reached the limit of the talent essence he can obtain in Akademia.

My alchemical talent has always been "fickle," seeking to experience different worlds and find different "pieces of the puzzle."

If you can collect the right "puzzle pieces", you can speed up the process of condensing your talent.

In addition, the Temple World of Egris may contain some valuable resources related to faith and divine magic.

Inspired by the "Kahham sacrifice technique" and his own innate soul status, he also gained a new understanding of faith and prayer.

Arkademia doesn't have the conditions to develop these things, but perhaps we could try going there.

Diev was silent for a moment, then said, "Weren't you seeking fragments of divinity in the realm of knowledge before?"
Before you set off, I'll provide you with one. If the mission is successful, I'll provide you with one to three more, depending on the circumstances.

"Okay, please make the arrangements."

Diev sighed, "Actually, for missions like this, it would be safer to have two or three high-level wizards go together."

However, since the temple has already taken control of the teleportation array there, we need to arrange for you to 'smuggle' over from nearby. Too many people together could easily trigger a 'divine prophecy'...

Besides, special resources such as faith amulets and disguised identities are limited, so you have to be the first to go.

If you can break the deadlock, then send reinforcements as needed.

It is worth mentioning that the Temple is still striving for the support of the world's will.

We also need to consider the local indigenous people more, and use them to influence the world's will to deal with the Temple..."

Diev suggested.

……

In the blink of an eye, it's February.

Roy made preparations inside the Wizard Tower, while the academy's academic affairs office also made corresponding astronomical calculations and established communication channels.

Finally, on the 16th.

Stepping into the interdimensional teleportation array, they were guided to the past by the dimensional tides.

　I'll add an extra chapter to make it easier to start a new world tomorrow. It will likely be a story about spreading alchemical knowledge, with the protagonist continuing to organize and summarize his own theories... and accumulating various foundations.
