Chapter 26 This is -- pipe

Camer disappeared that night. Ike didn't sleep all night. Of course, it was not that he had insomnia. He had been practicing all night. It was naturally inconvenient to practice when Camer was there. The perception of the senior Rubik's Cube was very powerful. Even if he hid in his room to practice, he could feel it. He didn't want to Let Camer be wary of himself. Now that he is gone, Ike is going to seize the time to practice. Sleep is simply a shameful waste. Although the night's practice has not increased much energy, it has stabilized the realm of the magician, and the energy in his body is slightly purer.

After a busy day, the frog toad stopped singing, and the whole world fell into silence. With the shimmering of the sky, a new day came. The bird opened its sleepy eyes and chattered to take over the work of the frog toad. Ike stretched out. Although he did not sleep all night, his spirit seemed to be okay and opened the door. After running around the residential area, it was half an hour after I came back. At this time, the vast majority of people had just got up, and even some people were dreaming of horror or **. Ike went to the canteen to ask for a breakfast. The master of the canteen is very familiar with him. He will come to eat the first breakfast of the canteen at about this time every day.

After breakfast, his spirit seemed to be much better. Ike went straight to Uncle Da's laboratory. The old man didn't seem to sleep well last night. He yawned and saw Ike, who was already standing at the door.

In ancient times, each tribe had its own totem, which was the symbol of the tribe and, of course, the source of tribal power. No one can say clearly how totem came from, but it is a real thing that totem can bring power to people. After thousands of years of development, people are no longer in awe of totem. People begin to study. Slowly, human beings begin to master part of the power of totem, and people can use energy. Engraving the object in a certain way of operation allows the object to exert extraordinary power, such as making the steel harder and the leather whip more flexible, which is the origin of the alchemy array.

General alchemist apprentices first understand the history of alchemy, and finally slowly come into contact with alchemy, so that they can learn more thoroughly, but Ike doesn't have so much time. He doesn't want to be a full-time alchemist in the future. Uncle Da also knows that he doesn't have much time and can save All of them are actively omitted, which is directly to start the learning of various formations.

One morning, Ike learned two of the simplest formations, the dust removal array and the fire formation. These two formations are all available to ordinary families. The dust removal array is engraved on the furniture, and it can be used for several years to install a first-order magic core. The fire formation can be engraved on the stove, only As soon as it is stimulated, it can continuously spewed out flames. Of course, the flame can only meet the requirements of cooking.

I learned two arrays in the morning, and the speed was still very fast. Uncle Da only understood one array in those years. In the afternoon, it was used to contact and engraving. Understanding alone is far from enough. You have to be able to do it yourself so that you can be regarded as an alchemist. Engraving is obviously much more difficult than understanding, because every stroke can't be wrong. As long as it trembs a little, the whole pattern will be regretted. Fortunately, Ike's strengths are not strong, but it is more than that of ordinary people. Exercise since childhood has now given him great help, and it takes more than a month for others to portray success. Ike only took a day, dozens of times faster than others. Of course, this is also in the early stage. Most alchemists and apprentices do not have such arm strength as Ike. In the later stage, basically all alchemists can tremble without a trace and be as stable as iron pliers.

Uncle Da is more satisfied with Ike. He is simply the most perfect alchemist apprentice. If he can focus on alchemy, his future achievements are absolutely unimaginable. More than his master is just around the corner. Unfortunately, he wants to be a powerful Rubik's Cube. Shi, no matter how clever Uncle Da is, he can't shake his thoughts. Uncle Da can only give up this helplessly.

Kamel has been away for four days, and now Ike is not practicing as hard as he did at the beginning. He has to take four hours to sleep every night to ensure that he has enough spirit to learn alchemy or better practice the next day.

"Apprentice, you have also practiced dust removal and fire formations for so many days. It's time to start actual combat. Today, your task is to engrave a formation. You can use whatever you want in the box," Uncle Da said, pointing to a broken wooden box in the corner of the wall, and then took out a metal box from the drawer. , handed to Ike and said, "This is for you."

Ike took a look and saw that the box was not metal but wooden. It was carved with a winding dragon, with two wings that seemed to be unopened, and a pair of iron claws hung upside down like golden hooks, with angry eyes wide open, which was really ferocious.

Opening the box, a row of silver-white carving knives lie quietly. Each carving knife, regardless of size, is a pillar carving wild dragon, with the shape of the mouth spitting blade, but the function is not the same, which can meet the different requirements of each alchemist. It is a very rare carving knife set.

"Thank you, master", although I don't know the specific value of this set of carving knives, it will never be cheap. At least it is much better than the carving knives used by the master himself. My master leaves good things to himself every time, which makes Ike full of gratitude. He has no intention to repay Uncle Da and Ike, so he can only work hard to let himself I have made achievements in alchemy and will not humiliate my master.

"It's not a valuable thing. Don't lose it. You can go to work. I'll go to Chilo for a drink." Uncle Da said heartily. This knife is valuable. If he hadn't really loved this apprentice, he would have been really reluctant to leave it. He simply ignored it and avoided it far away.

After Uncle Da left, there was only Ike left. He looked for a stool in the box and cupboard. The box was full of small furniture. Ike casually drew a chessboard, put it flat on the table, picked up a knife with a narrow edge, and began to depict dust removal lines.

The dust removal array and the fire array are both first-level arrays. After carving the lines on the object, brushing mercury will be completed. If it is an advanced array, there are many things needed like stars. For example, if you want to engrave a six-level array, you are afraid that the material cost can empty Uncle Da's wealth.

A horizontal, a vertical, a turning point, Ike completed it conscientiously without any carelessness. That's it. In a long-distance vertical, there was still a mistake, and the first work failed. Two days ago, Ike just drew pictures on paper, which was very easy to complete. Today, painting with a carving knife on wood was more than ten times difficult all of a sudden. The first failure was also reasonable. He did not like to talk, but he was a person with full resilience. Such difficulties could not cause him anything at all. What a problem. Take out the next item from the box and continue to carve.

One afternoon, eight pieces were wasted before one was successful. Ike was very dissatisfied with such a result. It could be seen that it was getting late, so he went to the canteen for dinner. Anyway, Camaire was not at home, so he did not go back and continued to stay in the laboratory for a while at night until he I have completely mastered the essentials and give up every time I can succeed.

The next day, Uncle Da came late and thought that he had drunk a lot of wine last night, and now he is still full of wine. When he saw the small furniture scattered on the ground, he was really shocked. The wine gas also suddenly evaporated from his forehead. One by one, 25 pieces, 11 pieces failed, and 14 pieces were successful.

"Genius, this boy is simply a genius in the alchemist world. Others have to fail more than 100 times before they can succeed. Even I failed more than 30 times in those years. I didn't expect this boy to succeed in 14 out of 25 cases. Unfortunately, he must not be asked to give up. Uncle Da secretly swore that it was the "craft" of alchemy.

Ike didn't have any friends of the alchemist, and no one could communicate. Uncle Da didn't tell him these things. He thought that his grades were relatively poor. Although he could skillfully engrave successful dust removal patterns on wood now, he was not satisfied. He found a pile of metal objects and began to start again. Engraving.

I don't know how many times harder metal is than wood. The carving knife that cuts wood like cutting tofu has also suffered a little resistance. It is no longer as easy as before, and gold has a certain interference, so the engraving pattern on gold products needs to be twice as deep as wood, and it needs to be poured with migrain water. Only the lines can succeed. Ike finally succeeded once after 16 failures, once after seven failures, three times and three times, and then basically maintained a one-to-one ratio. No one would believe such results. Ike has such a learning ability, and it is difficult to make the same mistake again after failure.

Three days later, Ike took him to close it proudly.

"You're really pissed off." Uncle Da was angry for a while. After he saw Eike's results, he told him that he could try to engrave two arrays on an item at the same time, but the items need to be made by himself. Many alchemists are also blacksmiths. For some reason, they need their own things. In this way, Uncle Da also gave him a request. He didn't expect him to make such an excellent work, but at least he had to show a certain ambition to make a sword and a magic wand. This boy made a big pipe.
