After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 410: The alchemist Kelly

A large group of people stood in front of Robb.
The soldiers were very conscious that they didn't deserve to talk to a leader.
After pushing the mines and Katyusha in front of Robb, they obediently retreated far away and stood solemnly, like statues.

The alchemist, on the other hand, put on a serious face and walked up to Robb.
He bowed and said, “nice to meet you, Godfather from Westwind Town.
I've long heard of your name, and I've been doing Steel Research thanks to your teachings.
It's my honor to meet you.”

Robb looked this guy up and down carefully.
He was about fifty years old, thin, with wrinkles on his face, and a pair of wise eyes.
Obviously, he was a knowledgeable man.
However, this guy obviously didn't like to be clean.
His grey hair was in a mess and he was dirty.
He hadn't washed for a long time.

Seeing that Robb was studying him, he quickly introduced himself, “Kelly Langelan, a poor all-rounder magicians, but I'm very confident in alchemy.”

“An all-rounder?” Isn’t that also a professional grinding emperor? We got along well with each other.
He quickly smiled and said, “Being an all-rounder magician is kind of handsome.”
 

Kelly immediately bowed and said, “Godfather, I'm flattered.
I only learned the entry level of every type magic, just to make myself understand and control all kinds of elements.
I can't use incomparably proficient magic like Godfather.”

“How is your research on steel going?” Robb asked with a smile.

“I have fully understood what Godfather said.
After the iron and the carbon element are combined in a certain proportion, they can become both flexible and rigid.” Kelly smiled and said, “I have never thought about this before.
After being reminded by the Godfather, I used the magic of the earth system to extract the carbon elements from the coal, and then fused these elements with iron.
Step by step, I finally made real steel, which is much better than the steel made by the weapon refiners themselves with the method of heating.”

Robb asked with a smile, “Has miss queen started the large-scale production of the new type of steel you've studied?”

“It's being made!” Kelly smiled and said, “I've already passed on the method of making the steel to other alchemists.
The queen has a special team, and they are making a lot of this kind of steel.
Then they will hand the steel to the blacksmith to make the latest weapons and defensive equipment.
This time, when Mondra attacks the city, our new steel has come in handy.”
 

“Another battle?” Robb was displeased.
“Why do you always think about fighting? With good steel, you should spend more time on the people's livelihood.”

Kelly didn't dare to answer his question.

After complaining for a while, Robb smiled and said, “forget it.
Let's not talk about that damned woman.
Let's talk about the next thing.
I invited you to Westwind Town through a deal this time.
I hope you can teach a class in my Westwind Technical School and teach some students how to make steel.”

Kelly asked, “are there many magicians who want to learn this?”

“No!” Robb said, “only a group of ordinary blacksmiths who want to learn.”
 

Embarrassed, Kelly said, “it's just that if it's an ordinary blacksmith, I can't teach them well, because to make steel, you need to know how to use and manipulate the element.
An ordinary blacksmith can't control the elements, and only know the basic magic of the earth system.”

“Not really.” Robb waved his hand and took something from the air.
A square iron box flew into his hand.

Kelly recognized it at a glance.
It was a magic container.

Robb smiled and said, “this magic container is specially used to contain the element of carbon.
In the future, my craftsmen don't need to know magic.
They just need to extract magic from someone who knows alchemy in advance and put the element into this box.
When the craftsmen make steel, they just need to mix the element in this box into iron in a certain proportion.”

“Oh,” Kelly said, “that's a good idea.
But in this way, the division of labor is very thin.
The production of a piece of steel can only be handled by one alchemist, but now we need to send out an alchemist, a craftsman, and even a magic container.
Won’t it become very inefficient?”

Robb laughed and said, “if only a small piece of steel is produced, the division of labor will be more and more inefficient.
But if we produce a large amount of steel, the division of labor will be more efficient.”

Kelly was confused and didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't complain to Robb.
He just listened to him.
The more people knew, the more they knew not to casually question something they didn't understand.
The more they saw it clearly, the more stupid they were to spurt out their own wisdom, and the result would be that they were very “wise”.

Robb said, “anyway, I have arranged the first group of students for you.
Go to the school to find the principal.
He will arrange a dormitory for you.”

Kelly bowed and was about to leave.

But Robb suddenly waved at him again with a mysterious smile on his face.
“I heard that you tried to add something else to the steel, but you blew yourself up.”

With an embarrassed smile on his face, Kelly said, “I'm sorry.
I was thick-skinned, but as a result…”

“Haha, don't be embarrassed.” Robb said, “I think being thick-skinned is very good, very good.
Your idea is correct, but you just added something wrong.
Do you want to know what else in the steel can make it more corrosive, harder, and even more awesome?”

Hearing this, Kelly became excited.
“It turns out that Godfather has been studying for a long time.
Please give me some advice.”

Robb said mysteriously, “what I'm going to tell you is the technique that only gods can master.
But if I tell you everything, gods will blame me, so I can only tell you a little.
You have to test the specific thing by yourself.”

Kelly hurriedly said, “as long as you can guide me the way, I can save a lot of time.”

“Okay, listen carefully.” Robb chuckled and said, “in relation to ores, there are not only copper, iron, silver, gold.
There are also many magical and unknown metal elements.”

Kelly nodded in a hurry.
“I know that.
There are also mithril, thorium, Arcanite and so on.
But those things are very rare and difficult to get.”

“Let's not talk about those difficult things.” Robb whispered “I've told you that it's easy to get them, such as, for example, chromium, molybdenum, titanium, manganese, and so on.
Of course, I know you haven't heard of these things.
Although I know them, I can't teach you too much, in case the gods blame me for exposing too much.
Just remember what I just said, and then use your alchemy to look for them in all kinds of ores.
As long as you find them, add them into the steel, and mix them with the correct proportion! “
