Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 139: Making Neutralizers and Alchemical Black Technology (2)

After leaving Horton's Alchemy Material Store, the two immediately went to the herbal medicine store to buy the last few herbs they needed.

After that, you can return to Sophia's laboratory.

However, the two encountered problems when they were preparing to return after buying the herbs.

Adelaide and Ella came to the herbal shop and asked the owner Samantha about Alfred's whereabouts.

Alfred and Sophia originally wanted to pretend that they didn't know the two people, just pass by them and leave the herbal medicine shop.

However, the little wolf cub in Edward's arms suddenly barked at the two of them.

"Hmm? Fenri, what's the problem?"

“Ahhh~Ahhh~”

The direwolf cub named Finri kept barking, pointing its nose in the direction of Alfred.

"Hmm~?"

Edward followed Fenri's instructions and looked at Alfred and Sophia.

(This is terrible... What should I do?!)

"Excuse me...are you two seniors from the fifth and sixth grades? Seniors, are you here to buy things at the herbal medicine store at this time? Is there something urgent to deal with?"

Adelaide stared at Alfred suspiciously and asked.

"Yes, actually my sister has had her menstrual cramps again recently, and the painkillers in the infirmary have run out. So we want to mix some ourselves."

Alfred replied, winking at Sophia.

(Eh? Pain, dysmenorrhea, me?!)

Sophia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously covered her stomach, pretending to be in pain.

"Ah, no, sorry for asking such a weird question."

Adelaide didn't seem to be very good at dealing with such topics, and was embarrassed and at a loss.

Elajeer, who was beside her, also held the little black cat on her shoulder tightly in her arms, looking very shy.

"It doesn't matter, we are all girls. Are you looking for someone?"

"Yes, there's a blond boy, about this tall, wearing a first-year uniform like us. There's also a girl with blond curly hair with a little red in it, about this tall, wearing a second-year uniform."

Edward stood on tiptoe and gestured twice, explaining to Alfred.

Because Edward's gesture was surprisingly close to their real heights. Especially Alfred, it felt like he was gesturing in disguise, and Sophia couldn't help but sweat for Alfred in her heart.

"I see... We were bumped into by two students wearing hoods just now. Their hair color seems to match the characteristics you mentioned, junior."

Alfred replied calmly.

"I see. No wonder Fenri smelled Electra's scent from you, Senior. Did you see where they went?"

"Ouch? Ouch!"

Fenli seemed a little dissatisfied, but Edward rubbed her head and signaled her to calm down first.

"I'm not sure, but maybe they were going to Horton's Alchemy Materials Store? I saw that they were running in a direction that seemed to be heading there, but I didn't see them enter the store."

"I see. Thank you."

After Edward thanked her politely, he spoke to Ella.

"Ella, let's go take a look. Maybe Liliana and Rosalie have something to gain."

"Well, let's go quickly."

"Oooooh? Oooooh! Oooooh!"

Although Fenli was dissatisfied, the two left the herbal medicine shop immediately.

This made Sophia feel relieved.

"The lie just now won't last long. If they meet Lily and the others, they will definitely notice something strange. Let's go quickly."

Alfred leaned over to whisper in Sophia's ear.

"Oh, okay."

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

After leaving the herbal shop, the two followed a seldom-used path on campus, first taking a detour to the single-family dormitory area, then heading north from the single-family dormitory area and entering from the entrance on the north side of the main castle.

Along the way, although they ran into the third-year seniors Rose and Ariel, and two other groups of seniors who seemed to be looking for Alfred and Sophia, they did not encounter any other dangers.

The two returned smoothly to Sophia's laboratory and immediately began to prepare the production of the neutralizer.

Alfred first took out the purchased materials and began to make the magic centrifuge.

"The one we bought might be too small, Sophia. Do you have another gel plate that's about eight to nine inches in size?"

"Eh? Yes, I do, but what are you going to do with it, Alfred?"

Sophia took out a translucent light blue-green board from the cabinet and handed it to Alfred, asking curiously.

"The core for making a magic centrifuge."

Alfred smiled and kept it a secret.

After simply cleaning the shallow sink-like container he had bought, he poured sea snake acid and a diluent in a certain proportion to the acid into it, and then threw in the only piece of mithril the two had.

"Eh? Alfred, what are you doing? We only have this one piece of mithril, and there is no extra mithril in my laboratory!"

Watching the mithril gradually dissolving in the acid, Sophia screamed in panic.

"Senior, don't worry."

Alfred replied with a smile.

What he is going to use next may be a very common technology in other worlds, but for the people in this world, it may be called a black technology technique.

Seeing that the mithril was almost dissolved, Alfred added a certain amount of silver and a few magic stones of ordinary quality into it.

Then, he released electric magic with adjusted power towards the container.

Under the effect of the magic electric shock, the magic stone in the sea snake acid began to emit dazzling magical light and gradually dissolved and became smaller.

On the gel plate, a recrystallized mithril coating began to gradually appear.

From the effect point of view, it is somewhat like electroplating performed by physical methods.

But because it involves the magic of the fantasy world, it is more appropriate to be called magic gilding, right?

As for the original name of this craft, Alfred had long forgotten it because it was too long.

He just remembered the specific operation methods, as well as the amount of magic stones and the strength of the electric current required when plating different magic metals.

"This, this is..."

Sophia looked at the gel plate completely covered with mithril and was so surprised that she was speechless for a moment.

Alfred just smiled and didn't explain anything.

He put on acid-proof gloves and cleaned the processed gel plate.

Alfred then used the keratin liquid made from dragon horns and hard leather, mixed it with solidifying powder and other materials, and made a black viscous liquid, and carved magic circuits on a gel board filled with mithril.
