Erna Vasa was startled for a moment, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

She glanced at the middle-aged craftsman and said, "I didn't expect you to find an alchemist this time."

The middle-aged craftsman smiled: "President, I have explained it."

"Yeah?"

She turned back again and looked Fang Plover up and down, with obvious distrust in her eyes: "It looks pretty decent, but did you overlook one thing?"

A smile appeared on Elna's face that captured the key to the problem.

The Artisan Association is open to all alchemists of the association. If this person is really an alchemist of the association, why would he use such a troublesome method?

She looked at the middle-aged craftsman again, like a cat that had caught a mouse by the tail, her green eyes narrowed, and her tone was scornful: "Okay, I want to see what tricks you are playing."

The middle-aged craftsman couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face, and said in a state of laughter and tears: "President, when have I ever lied to you?

Mr. Ed is really a craftsman of the association, and it doesn’t actually require a lot of effort, just check the number on the emblem.”

But Erna ignored him.

If others explain deliberately, they are probably trying to lead her into a logical trap, and she has a clear idea.

You have to stick to your own opinions and don't be swayed by other people's flattery, Elna.

She gave herself a reason in her heart, and then looked at Fang Yu again, deliberately slowed down her tone, and asked:

"Little guy, since you can be considered an alchemist, let me test you."

Fang Yu thought to himself, what does it mean to be an alchemist?

But Elna has already asked: "What is the basic state of ether?"

Fang Yu thought for a moment, and couldn't help but think of his experience in the Hall of Thousand Doors, and answered: "It's the elements."

This question is the most basic and basic theory in the introduction to ether, which is roughly equivalent to the first paragraph of the prologue in the various textbooks we have studied.

It is one of the general chapters and cornerstones of the entire ether theory.

No apprentice alchemist would confuse this.

But originally this question ended here, because the standard answer to this question is - elements.

However, Fang Yu obviously had no intention of stopping, and continued following his own train of thought:

"...After the ether passed through the star network whose true structure was not yet clear to people, it descended into specific six types of elemental manifestations in Aitaria.

Another way of saying it is that there are five categories. The difference lies in whether the light ether has a corresponding dark ether.

Five or six types of elements are combined with each other to form everything in Aitaria.

But perhaps, the basic state of ether is not just elements - because people still don't know how elements are combined into matter.

How can the same elements of earth and fire form different metals and rocks? Light materials such as pumice and heavy materials such as fine gold are both derived from the same two types of elements.

The six elements can appear in the form of life, or they can turn into violent magical power that destroys everything. But what exactly causes the difference?

Perhaps there is a kind of information that can map all things, classify the six types of elements, and allow them to take on the different forms we see.

Just like the rules in magic, different spells and spell-casting gestures constrain the power of ether with different attributes to form specific spells.

The Numerin elves called this form Creation Ecology. They believed it was the power above the gods. Based on the Creation Technique in their imagination, they designed a system that was completely different from magic.

This is alchemy -

But today's alchemists can still only change the structure of matter, but cannot change its properties.

We can shape metals and other types of materials into any desired shape by changing the structural points within the material, but the biggest feature of the creation technique envisioned by the Numerin elves - creating something out of nothing, has not appeared.

The so-called creation means the creation of all things.

It is not impossible to turn stone into gold and create life.

Everything in Aitaria is originally composed of elements, so as long as the last form of ether is mastered, alchemy can theoretically reproduce the feat of creation.

The Numerin elves are far better than contemporary alchemists in using elements to directly construct matter, and they may already have a certain understanding of the seventh form of elements."

After Fang Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at his right hand.

At that time, he did create a 'matter' out of thin air by chance. The dark crystal and the cold touch seemed to still be in the palm of his hand.

There is also the Zero Crystal left to him by Hain-Fam, which is another example of something made out of nothing.

The other party created a magic crystal that does not exist in nature.

To what extent have the Numerin elves studied alchemy? Why did they leave this world in such a hurry?

He just recounted his feelings about studying in the Hall of Thousand Doors.

But when he raised his head, he found that the middle-aged craftsman and the female guild leader were looking at him strangely.

"...Have you studied ancient alchemy?"

The middle-aged craftsman couldn't help but ask.

Erna blinked.

But she quickly reacted and realized that she might have been fooled. She raised her eyebrows and said: "Wait, you two, don't pretend to be a fool here -

It’s you, little guy, where did you memorize such a weird answer?”

She stared at Fang Plover until the latter seemed a little confused.

Fang Yu wondered: Why do I pretend to be a ghost?

However, Erna was also puzzled for a while, and then repeated her shrewd behavior before, looking at the former suspiciously, then at Fang Plover, and then said:

"Okay, you barely passed the first level."

"first round?"

"President," the middle-aged craftsman was also stunned: "Did you say you only do simple assessments?"

Erna immediately looked like she had caught the latter's trap, and smiled proudly: "It's simple to think about it. If I didn't say that, would you be fooled?"

The middle-aged craftsman looked at his president with his mouth wide open, his expression even more exaggerated than when he heard Fang Plover's answer before.

Fang Yu also looked at the female president with a bit of pessimism, and finally realized that the latter was not serious and rigid - but that there might be something wrong with her brain.

But Erna didn't care about these two people and asked herself:

"You answered well. The basic state of ether is the elements. We use rules to bind the elements, and thus alchemy was born. Just like the magicians use rules to bind ether and shape magic.

And Istania's magical construct is an exquisite product that combines these two points.

We can restrain the power of elements in crystals, and naturally we can also store the rules used to restrain magic in crystals, and use this to design a unique type of magic crystal - magic storage crystal.

You said that information is another basic form of ether besides elements, which may be true. From this point of view, you should also have some knowledge of magic constructs.

Then I ask, what do you think is the most important point in controlling the magic structure?"

The middle-aged craftsman couldn't help coughing.

Although he knew that Fang Plover had controlled the Spellweaver, first of all, the Spellweaver was only the most basic type of magical construct, not much more complicated than the Annihilator qv700.

Secondly, being able to control a type of construct does not necessarily mean you are proficient in the basic theories of that school.

Just like they can also control sword-wielding men and angels, they may not understand the general control of Kapka or the Construct Lord of Dolifen School.

He reminded: "President, Mr. Ed is an alchemist of the Kapka School."

"What?" Erna frowned with great dissatisfaction and patted the table and said: "Can the alchemists of the Kapka School look down on the alchemy of our Istanian School?"

The middle-aged craftsman looked at her dumbfounded again.

For a moment, I didn’t understand how the other party derived this logic.

But Fang Yu didn't pay attention to the questions and answers between the two people. It happened that he also had certain opinions on this issue.

The other party’s words before seemed to have inspired him——

‘…Storage the rules that govern magic into crystals, and design a unique type of magic crystal—storage crystal.

You said that information is another basic form of ether besides elements, maybe there is truth to this.’

Isn't this exactly the way the elves of Numerin think?

Storing information in the crystal, and pre-storing the information in the magic circle——

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he answered: "It's the structural force——"

"Ha ha!"

Erna clapped her hands happily and narrowed her emerald green eyes, as if seeing her reasoning come true, she was as pure and happy as a little girl:

"That's right, that's wrong. The most important thing in magic construction is calculation power."

The middle-aged craftsman also shook his head and sighed.

But he didn't blame Ed.

Alchemy is vast and profound, and even within the same system, being separated by a school is like being separated by a mountain. But my own president is really too good at making things difficult for others.

But after hearing this, Fang Yu shook his head:
