Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army! Chapter 438 Learning About Alchemy

-----

"Wouldn't it be better to just ask the dwarves to do it for us instead of trying to learn the skill?" Wondered Eraldine. "You could also create an Undead for the task."

"Ugh… I know, but I like collecting Skills, it is pretty fun." I said. "So I'll try my best anyways."

"Sure… Well, whatever's the case, these elental jewels could also be used for making other things." Eraldine said. "Such as special accessories, clothes, and more. Alchemy is not that good at making weapons or armor but accessories or other smaller things seem pretty easy enough. Although Helga really wanted us to ask Myriad for help if we wanted accessories."

"Don't worry, we don't really have to tell her about this, hehe." I giggled.

"I guess so…" Eraldine said. "Alchemy Clay in specific is a very good component for accessories and other magic items, so I'll make so right away. Can you bring the Magic Cauldron, Maria? I can teach you how to make as well.

"Oooh! Sure!"

I quickly took out the Magic Cauldron I brought inside my Inventory, which belonged to Eraldine now, and by infusing so magic into it, it quickly began to boil, as the magic essence within the cauldron turned into a sparkly and colorful liquid.

Alchemy in this world was very ga-like, you first needed to learn the basics which always required Magic and Mana to utilize, if you learn the Alchemy Skill things can beco easier, and if you learn Brewing and Mixing, things beco even better, the strongest of these skills would be Synthesis, which is a crucial magic used for synthetizing the magical components of various materials.

Like how we did potions before, the herbs need to be processed using the Alchemy Skill and magic, and then mixed together into the cauldron alongside other materials, and sotis special ways of brewing which are called Alchemy Techniques.

"Gumstone is very valuable, this is the first ti I am making Alchemy Clay… This is a pillar component material for a bunch of cool stuff!" Eraldine seed very happy. In fact, I had never seen her so excited before.

"Do we just put the Gumstones inside?" I wondered.

"Yeah, yeah, that'll do it!" Said Eraldine. "After that… We must add so Neutralizer!"

"Neutralizer? Wait, those are the white and green potions you did the other day?" I wondered.

"Yep! Neutralizers are a very important part of alchemy. They're special components that help bind materials together. Each color has a special elent. We'll use the white one which is elent-less for Alchemy Clay." Said Eraldine. "Also, we'll add so more ores… These Black Stones are enough, pour twenty of them there."

"Twenty?! Well, they're just stones at the end of the day…"

As I poured all the ingredients inside the cauldron, Eraldine took a few small seeds and put them inside.

"These are Fire Cracker seeds rember them? They're imbued with Fire Elent and are good enough for this." She said. "According to my uncle, to make Alchemy Clay we need Earth and Fire Elent, White Neutralizer, and Gumstone, and a ton of Mana, more than I can muster myself…"

"Then I'll help in that regard!" I said, quickly infusing my Mana into Eraldine. She regulated the mana and slowly infused it into the Magic Cauldron.

Partner and Lucifer were watching as if this were so sort of show, in silence and with awe and expectation of what might co out.

"Now… Synthesis!" We said in unison. The power of two Alchemists rged together as the elents and components of all the materials we poured inside began to rge together, as if it were a work of the gods themselves.

FLASH!

A bright flash of light completely consud the entire room for a little while, and then, white smoke began coming out of the cauldron. Partner and Lucifer ran to the windows and opened them for the smoke to co out.

"I-Is it done?! Did it fail?" I asked in fear. Alchemy has a chance of failure, where all items end up being wasted and the resulting item is sothing often useless.

Eraldine ran back to the cauldron putting her hand inside and then…

"It's done!"

What was in her hand was a large white cube resembling clay, it was shining bright white, and had a strong magical essence within it.

"Wow… it actually worked at the first trial." I said in surprise.

"It did, right?" Eraldine happily said. "With this, we can now make so rings and… give you one to… ahhh…"

Eraldine suddenly feel lethargic, almost falling into the floor as I caught her with my arms and ended storing the Alchemy Clay inside my Inventory, I found another three more of these waterlon-sized cubes inside the cauldron, so it created a ton, not only one.

"She fell asleep." I sighed, looking at the sleepy Eraldine.

"I guess she exceeded herself, Alchemy Clay seems like a very advanced alchemy item. If it wasn't for your Mana, she wouldn't had been able to do it." Lucifer analyzed, as I carried Eraldine to my bed and covered her in blankets.

"For now let's leave her sleeping." I said.

"She looks cute while sleeping…" Partner said. "Ah! Right, we need to wake up early tomorrow, right?!"

"R-Right! Let's sleep now!" I jumped on bed.

"Wait you two! We have to clean this ss!" Lucifer pointed at the magic liquid and all the ores thrown over the floor.

"Ehhh… I can always just store any ss with Inventory!" I said, waving my hand as all the ss disappeared in an instant and reappeared inside my Inventory.

"…Well, that's sure convenient." Lucifer quickly went to sleep on his own bed, as we quickly decided to sleep without doing any night activities, as we were all quite exhausted, included. Using tons of magic for Alchemy Clay was exhausting to the bone, which I lack.

But I really wonder what Eraldine ant to say… She was too excited about the Alchemy Clay.

I think she said sothing about… making a magic ring?
