From the moment she kidnapped Erii, she became a roadblock.

Chapter 90 Alchemy Master

"Hey, haven't seen you for two months, what have you been up to?"

Principal Nicholas had his back to them, fiddling with a drawing on his desk—a design for a short knife.

Various alchemical runes were projected simultaneously onto a display screen in front.

Guan Luo didn't say anything, and simply handed the wine over.

Nicholas's eyes immediately shifted from the drawing to the bottle of wine, and he grabbed it in his hand as if he were stealing something.

He held the bottle up to the light, smacked his lips, and said, "You have good taste—"

But then his tone shifted, revealing a look of disappointment and frustration, as if he were looking at a spendthrift son.

"Have you two lost your minds? You'd be better off spending this money on dozens of cases of whiskey; that would be enough for me to drink for years."

Although he said that, he was still stroking the wine bottle with his hand.

"Speak, what brings you here? There's an old Chinese saying, 'No one visits the temple without a reason.' Don't tell me you're here to embark on the path to godhood again; you've only been through the second stage for a short time!"

"Furthermore, I don't have the materials to help you unlock the third stage of the path to godhood right now. That would require at least materials from a next-generation dragon."

Guan Luo watched Nicholas muttering to himself, "Sure enough, giving gifts works."

Vice Principal Zhijian always had a long face. He didn't like him and Erii, thinking they were dangerous elements with very unstable bloodlines who could threaten the lives of other students at any time.

Now, if I give away a bottle of wine, my mouth is practically stretched to my ears in a grin.

They even forgot that Guan Luo and Erii couldn't speak, and were only focused on looking at the wine.

After a while, he turned around and looked at the two of them, only to find that Guan Luo was holding a tablet with words written on it.

"We've come to learn alchemy from you, Vice Principal. We've heard you're the greatest alchemist of our time."

The statement that he is the strongest in the contemporary era is perhaps not wrong, since he is the only one on the surface. Other aristocratic families and other internal alchemists are not particularly famous.

"Ahem, I wouldn't call myself the strongest of our time—" Nicholas said modestly.

"Why are students bringing alcohol to class to ask questions? Don't bring it next time. It's a teacher's duty to teach students."

Guan Luodi accurately caught the word "next time," and nodded repeatedly, showing an expression of understanding.

"What specific aspects should we learn? Should we start from the basics?" Nicholas wanted to first understand their current situation.

If he doesn't even know what alchemy is, there's no need to teach him now. He should first go to the academy to learn the basics, otherwise he won't understand some of the technical terms he uses.

When they come to him, they immediately start practicing, and then he provides further guidance.

"I know a little bit of the basics. She studies potion making, and I study blacksmithing."

Guan Luo pointed at Erii.

"Oh? You know a little bit of the basics?"

Nicholas clearly didn't believe it. How long had these two been at Kassel College? They hadn't learned anything before, so how could they possibly know anything basic?

"What is this?"

With a wave of his hand, Nicholas caused the image on the screen to change, and a tantalizing rune appeared on the screen, forming a pattern.

Guan Luo looked over and found that he actually recognized it. The alchemy scroll he had exchanged with his reputation points was like a bundle, encompassing almost all the common basic alchemy arrays.

Guan Luo quickly typed his name on the screen.

"Pentagram Sealing Array".

"You actually know each other?" Nicholas was somewhat surprised.

But they immediately changed to a different alchemy array.

"One-way flow array".

"What about this one?"

"Three anchors stabilize the formation."

Nicholas asked him several questions in a row, not only about these magic circles, but also about the properties of alchemical materials and attribute conflicts.

The interplay of attributes, with mutual generation and restraint, is the underlying logic of alchemy in the Dragon World, encompassing the four fundamental elements: wind, fire, earth, and water.

Sometimes a spiritual element is added.

"Here you go," Nicholas said, tossing a dagger.

It's just a rough blank, not yet sharpened.

"Try it yourself, don't talk a good game but end up making a complete mess of it."

Guan Luo caught the dagger, and was quite troubled, after all, he had never made alchemical equipment by hand before, nor had he ever inscribed any alchemical array.

"The etching needle is in the drawer next to it. Let's use the materials on the workbench to make this combat knife more sturdy."

Guan Luo took out the etching needle and found that it looked a bit like a syringe.

The other material was a metallic paste in a jar, which looked like a prepared alchemical material that could be used directly.

Guan Luo filled the etching needle with material, held the dagger with his left hand, and used the etching needle with his right hand to inscribe a magic circle on the dagger.

Seeing this, Nicholas's eyes widened. Wasn't the robotic arm being used? This was so unprofessional.

Even a master like him needs the assistance of a robotic arm and tools on a worktable to fix some complex magic arrays.

Mechanical devices are definitely more stable and more precise than handheld devices. Times are progressing and technology is developing.

Another question is, isn't Guan Luo's power a bit too strong?

Use an etching needle to cut open the alloy dagger, then inject the alchemy material inside.

It was a miracle achieved through sheer force.

Guan Luo's movements were incredibly stiff. There are many alchemical arrays that can solidify matter, but Guan Luo chose the most basic one. After all, it was his first time doing it, and he was already doing well just to finish drawing it.

Despite his stiffness, Guan Luo's exceptional stats came into play. His muscles moved like steel cables, more stable than a machine, while his agility made his control incredibly formidable, without the slightest deviation.

In the world of Dragon Raja, the main requirement is to draw upon earth and fire elements to strengthen the metals after entering.

Although earth and fire elements do not directly conflict and are relatively easy to combine, Guan Luo directly started operating without even knowing the proportions of the materials used.

The formulation of the etching solution is very important; it is the key to adjusting the elemental balance.

Although Guan Luo's technique was clumsy, the general direction of the whole process was correct, and it had a kind of rugged beauty.

However, after the alchemical array was inscribed, the entire dagger began to heat up and turn red in Guan Luo's hand.

As if being burned, the materials being incorporated began to spark.

Guan Luo could feel the dagger trembling slightly, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Seeing this, Nicholas was about to step forward to stop Guan Luo and tell him to throw the dagger away instead of holding it in his hand, as he was essentially holding a small bomb.

Nicholas could tell that this was Guan Luo's first time inscribing alchemical runes, but he was able to completely integrate them.

The inscription was formed into a magic array, which surpasses the work of many alchemy apprentices who have studied for several years.

Just this skill of carving alchemical runes by hand is enough for those people to learn. Go ahead and learn it; they'll all be silent once they start.

Guan Luo frowned slightly. He already knew where he had gone wrong, but the result was already irreversible.
