216. 51 Alchemy (3)
“Did you go back to the village? At that time, you must have seen how it was written while looking at the flowers and weeds around you. how was it?”
“I couldn’t figure it out.”
After learning alchemy, Taesan had checked flowers and roots.
What was written on the system window was the information on the harmony and combination of the energy and repulsive force of this material.
There was absolutely no information on
how to handle this or what it would be.
Barija said as if he knew that.
“I guess so. No matter how much the system of the labyrinth receives assistance, it is not easy. It took me five years to learn proper alchemy.”
5 years.
It was not a short time for Taesan, who has lived a long life.
“Unlike me, you can figure out the ingredients with the assistance of the labyrinth, so it won’t take that long… but it will take
half a year to become usable. Don’t you have time for that?”
Taesan nodded. It was time for the next return. Until then, I had to develop my strength as much as possible.
Barija, who stroked her chin as if thinking about it, decided.
“Then there is a way to learn… in a short time.”
he raised a finger
“Just one thing. Among the many powers of alchemy, you learn it as an attribute in only one direction. This
won’t take a few days. Do you want anything’?”
“What kinds of things are possible with alchemy?”
“As I said before, it varies. You can restore your health, you can feed the enemy and torture it, or you can transform the shape itself like I showed you… and you can create a kind of realm.”
area.
That was exactly what Taesan wanted.
“I want to learn the realm side.”
“good. Then let’s learn quickly.”
Barija brought Taesan to the front of the house. He started scattering powders and liquids around Mount Tai.
“The realm must be the power you think it is. You can designate a specific area and weaken enemies within it or strengthen yourself. There are many other
features, but it’s too complicated to explain them all, so I’ll pass. I’ll show you right away.”
He spread the ingredients one by one in the east, west, south, and north directions, centered on Mount Tai. And when the preparations were finished, he threw a flower petal to Taesan
.
At the same time, great oppression overtook Mount Tai.
It was the pressure of power, as if a giant was directly squeezing it.
“how is it?”
“It’s heavy.”
Taesan moved his hand. If he felt this much pressure, other players wouldn’t be able to move at all. Variza touched the powder with a surprised face.
“It moves without a problem. I made it roughly, but I used pretty good ingredients…
He moved the ingredients and took out a few. Then the pressure on Taesan disappeared. The place was filled with a cohesion of enormous power.
Whoops!
Power dwells in Taesan. The entire body
is strengthened and the field of view is widened.
“How about this time?”
“Strengthening the body?”
It wasn’t even a clumsy reinforcement. Skills that give bonus stats against difficult opponents that Taesan has. It was strengthened to that level. Barija licked her lips in regret.
“It’s temporary, so it’s not very effective.”
“If you make it properly, what level will it be?”
“Does it go up to a level that is incomparable to this?”
It wasn’t a good level. It was literally an effect that could have a significant impact on the battle.
“The effect seems to have been shown roughly. I’ll explain how to make it.”
Barija showed each of the ingredients spread around Taesan.
“The territory is north, south, east and west. You have to put ingredients everywhere. Their forces collide and combine to form power.”
“Should I only put the ingredients there?”
“That’s not right. That’s the basics, you don’t have to stick to your direction
. But at your level right now, managing everywhere will be difficult.”
Barija slowly continued to explain.
“A realm is not a force that comes from union. The force derived from the repulsion between materials is directed inward.”
“Should I only let go of things with high resistance?”
“It is ambiguous to say that. When all materials resist, the force spreads outward. In order for them to gather inside, there shouldn’t be as much resistance as one.”
Three highly resistant materials. And one material that is not very resistant.
They seemed to be the basis for forming the realm.
“It is not that difficult.”
“From now on, it will be a problem.”
Barija handed the crushed petals to Taesan.
[A white flower that has not received light]
[It has a dark and deep aura. Repulsion is strong and coordination is difficult.
Trying to devour other things.]
“What you need to see here is a thick and deep aura. And the part about trying to devour other things. These dragons change the effect of the area. It is virtually impossible to understand the contents of each different material and to derive the desired effect.”
The number of cases originating from the four materials easily exceeds tens of thousands. Even if it is limited to one area.
“Then what should I do?”
“Is it memorization?”
I put information about the ingredients into my head and remember all the effects it produces.
Barija grinned.
“I know you well.” Taesan
memorized the effects of the ingredients and the combinations derived from them
with Barija for a while .
‘Simple memorization has been a while.’
A labyrinth is a place where you cannot proceed by memorization. Rather, understanding and experience are the most important.
So, from a certain point on, I never tried to remember anything. It was because it was naturally embedded in his brain while attacking the labyrinth.
Maybe that’s why memorizing the combination of ingredients was quite different.
Taesan memorized dozens of ingredients and
put the effects derived from them into his head one by one.
After two full days like that, Tae San was able to grasp the rough effects.
“Are you faster than you think? I thought it would take a week.”
“Because I only need to know the important things.”
It didn’t take long since he excluded all the minor unused effects and remembered only the ones he would really use.
For two days, they also retrieved a lot of the materials they wanted from the forest,
and they had enough for the time being.
“Then… that’s it.”
Barija saw off Taishan with a bitter face.
Taesan waved his hand.
“Don’t die. I will come later.”
“I have no intention of dying now.”
Barija grinned.
Bariza fulfilled her wish after entering the labyrinth.
He didn’t know it himself, but it
was a very rare event throughout the history of the labyrinth.
“Take this before you leave.”
Barija handed a bead to Taesan.
[Sphere of shape change]
[You can change the shape you want by transforming your body. The duration is not very long.]
After reading the explanation, Taesan narrowed her eyes. Barija shook her head.
“The ingredients were more than I thought. So I made two. I have nothing to write, so take it. I might have something to use.”
“I will.”
There was no reason to refuse it. Taesan accepted. Barija said goodbye to him.
“Come back later. I will be waiting.”
Taesan waved his hand.
he passed through the woods Now this long, long 51st floor comes to an end. This was the beginning of the 52nd floor.
At the end of the forest was a single stairway.
Taesan stepped into it.
[You have cleared the 51st floor. You got the basic reward [Ankle Guards of the Broken Heart].]
[You have figured out the hidden elements of 51 floors. Received the reward [???].]
[Starting the 52nd floor quest]
[Defeat the boss on the 52nd floor and pass.]
[Reward: Necklace of the Invisible.]
[Secret reward: ???]
The reward for the 51st floor is finally here could receive
Taesan confirmed what he had obtained.
[Ankle Guards of the Broken Heart]
[Strength + 15
[Agility + 100]
[Defense + 100] [
Ankle Guards of those who once broke through the labyrinth .
He broke his heart and became a keeper.]
“It belongs to Broken Man.”
A gatekeeper with a broken heart guarding the labyrinth. It was the first NPC Taesan saw after entering Alone Mode.
Thinking about it, I was curious. He was heartbroken, but he was not staying on the 51st floor. In addition, he possessed the power that Taesan could not win even if he fought.
They are probably guarding the entrance according to the contract with the wizard.
For what reason? I didn’t know yet.
First of all, the performance itself is 51 charges. It was quite good, probably because I entered a new class. Now it seemed that the time had come for a major change in equipment.
[Used uh??]
[A belt that causes disaster]
[Strength + 200]
[Defense + 200]
[A belt that brings disaster everywhere and destroys everything. I don’t know if it’s
the strength of the belt or the product of a simple coincidence.]
“It’s definitely nice, but
Taesan gave me an ambiguous look. With a high level of strength, the defense power is also 200. It was a much higher number than what Taesan was equipped with.
However, the offensive power was not attached. Now that Taesan had the greatest value in attack power, I couldn’t help but regret it.
However, since the defense increased by 130 or so, it was beneficial to replace it
.
Taishan arrived at the shop owner, who was always perched at the entrance.
“Did it take long?”
“Because I had a lot to do.”
“It’s a bit like that there. It looks like you overcame it without any problems.”
The dwarf, looking at Mount Tai, raised the corner of his mouth.
“There was even a wave of strange power, but I overcame that too. very good. You go down so deep And it will make my wish come true.”
The store owner chuckled eagerly.
Taesan passed him by.
The 52nd floor has begun. And the labyrinth on the 52nd floor was the same brick passageway as before.
“Was only the 51st floor unique?”
[Not all floors are like that. However, if you go beyond the 60th floor, it will be frequent, and from the depth level, most of them are the same as the 51st floor. Seeing the normal labyrinth is coming to an end soon, so you’d better enjoy it to your heart’s content.]
Hearing the ghost’s words made me realize it all over again
. Having come halfway through the labyrinth means that he has almost reached the depths.
Taesan broke through the aisle.
And in the room that appeared, there were no monsters to be seen.
But the monster was here. The system window notified it.
[A transparent snake appeared.]
Shureuk.
The sound of crawling on the ground resounded. It quickly ran to Taesan.
Taesan thrust his sword into it.
The snake jumped up and ran away, but Taishan pinpointed the location of the invisible snake and cut it in half.
[Shaaaaaaaa!]
The cut snake howls. Even if you cover your face, it doesn’t make any sense. The concept skill that continued to rise made it possible to read the will of ordinary monsters to some extent.
“Is it an invisible monster?”
It wouldn’t have been a problem for Taesan, as would be the case for adventurers who didn’t have scouting or vision skills. I was strangely
bored, perhaps because the 51st floor was so huge
. Since there was nothing special, Taesan quickly cleared the 52nd floor.
Something came to Taesan as he was tidying up the room.
Paralac.
It was a note with wings.
I flew hard and came close to Taesan. Taesan, who was staring blankly at him, stretched out his hand.
Parala Rock.
The note barely sat in Taesan’s hand.
And then it was like breathing, then it stopped.
“What’s this.”
[The labyrinth’s note delivery man.]
The ghost answered.
[If there is a reason you can’t come, send a note to spread the news. They are sold in stores, but they are quite expensive, so I don’t use them often. Who sent it?]
“It’s probably not Barija.”
Taesan opened the note. Taesan, who read the contents, exclaimed in admiration.
[What is it about?]
“Hafran has finally finished his job.”
[…Ah.]
The ghost realized.
Taesan entrusted many materials to Hafran. Disciple’s Core, Dragon’s Claw, Spirit’s Core, and so on.
And Hafran said it could be made with these materials, but it would take a while.
It was a note that the result had finally come out.
Level up with skill
