Chapter 154 Alchemy (Part 2)
When Kyle Sichi returned home, it was already completely dark outside
After dinner with his family, he returned to his study and recorded the recipe for Crystal Glass together with its required rawit in his own book, “The Door to Alchemy”
In it, he had recorded his journey from the day he had started as an apprentice to his days as Chief Instructor At the same time, he had also included all of the newly discovered alchemic recipes of the Redwater Alchemy Workshop
Kyle believed that with the help of this book, he would earn his place in all kinds of history books Even thousands of years later, alcheraved in their minds
Only after the candle was nearly burnt out did Kyle finally put down his pen and made himself ready to sleep
Suddenly, he remembered that he still had the letter from the Prince, and until now, he hadn’t read a word of it Glancing at the candle, he saw that only a fingernail’s worth of candle was left, so he decided to use the last bit of tiive a verbal reply to thebit of candle would only be enough for hih to read a worthless letter
After opening the envelope, he saw that it contained three sheets of paper, of which the first page was the common courtesy and introduction of their titles and their territory Kyle didn’t even bother himself to take a look at it; he directly e
The second page didn’t contain the expected recruiting offer or lash-out,Kyle feel a little surprised Instead, all that ritten were five strange for a careful look, he noticed that each formula was made up out of three compositions
Oh, that’s a little ardless of the which purpose the Prince had, at least he was somewhat tricky in the end
He swept his gaze over the first line
“Dry distillation of Saltpeter produces nitric acid”
Saltpeter… dry distillation… nitric acid, these were all terms used in alchemy Kyle was totally surprised, isn’t this the double stone acid method?
“The acidic liquid produced by dry distillation of Saltpeter has to be gathered inside a special container It looks exactly like ordinary water, so it will be hard to recognize However, it is very corrosive Not only does it have the ability to burn away skin, but it can even dissolve some metals“
This… is actually an alchemic formula? Is it possible that Border Town also has an Alchemy Instructor?
He quickly aze to the next line
If the first sentence was already enough to surprise him, then the second sentence was simply incredible
It consisted of a bunch of inexplicable sy an equation Kyle frowned He had never seen such strange symbols in his whole life
Looking further down, it seemed that the third sentence was the interpretation of the second sentence, including the nas of the symbols To be honest, he was still unable to understand the symbols even with the explanation The hard to pronounce words were apparently all newly coined words In order to link the words with the syain But even after all this, the sentencewas still a much too complex puzzle for him
At this moment, the flame of the candle shook twice and went out
hell! Kyle cursed loudly within his heart, and without any hesitation he took a new candle fro once more
…
When the second candle had already burned halfway, the Chief Instructor’s hands that were holding the pages were shaking heavily
What see on it had takena neatly written page
On top of the second page of the letter there were only five formulas Unexpectedly, they were all alchemy formulas!
If it was only given like this, then they would still be an outstanding master alchemist, but it was still not an impossible accomplishment to sum up five alchemy recipes by oneself However, these five for acid, were all correlated ith each other Certain neologis the appearance that it was a maintained cycle
“Nitric acid reacts with silver to produce silver nitrate, ether ater it becomes nitric oxide”
“Silver nitrate reacts with iron to form ferrous nitrate and silver”
