Chapter 222: Chapter 150: Isabel’s Meeting Gift_2 Chapter 222: Chapter 150: Isabel’s Meeting Gift_2 Yulia tilted her head slightly with a puzzled look while holding the bag.
“Open it and take a look,”
Isabel encouraged softly.
Actually, she was somewhat nervous because she was not completely confident about the gift she chose—even though Aiwass had assured her that it was something Yulia would like.
But Isabel still thought it was too strange.
Why would a fifteen-year-old girl like these things?
Yulia opened the bag and found three thick books inside.
“Triumphal Chariot of Antimony,” “Metal Evolution Theory: Unique Reagents and Modified Metals,” “Lower Realm Astronomy.”
“This is—”
Yulia’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she became excited.
...
All three books were very famous works on alchemy, and they were not available for purchase through normal channels in Avalon.
“Triumphal Chariot of Antimony” was the sacred text written by Valentine I, the founder of the Kingdom of Star Antimony, while “Lower Realm Astronomy” was an alchemy overview by an ancient alchemist—it considered alchemy as “Lower Realm Astronomy,” corresponding to the actual “Upper Realm Astronomy.”
Evolution is an alchemy term.
It refers to the process of one substance being changed into another, one element being transformed into a different one...
such as transmuting specific base metals into silver or gold.
In this process, a reagent of mystical nature is required.
It is the “Unique Reagent,” which consumes only a small portion to perform extensive material modification.
The type, synthesis method, and amount of the Unique Reagent required differ for different alchemical processes.
The legendary “Philosopher’s Stone” is essentially the ultimate Unique Reagent—needing only a bit to turn hundreds of thousands of times its weight of base metal into gold.
Clearly, these were the “first draft translations” of these books into the Avalon language.
“...You must be Princess Isabel, right?”
Yulia dared not pretend anymore that she did not recognize the other party, and even hesitated, “Can I really accept something so precious?”
She loved them dearly.
But precisely because of that, she could feel the books’ value—she even felt somewhat reluctant to accept them.
There was a feeling, as if by accepting these books, she was selling her brother...
“It’s okay,”
Isabel said with a smile, “This set of books was a gift from the chancellor of Milton University to my grandmother...
It was because her educational reforms back then made alchemy no longer a taboo.
To support this policy, he sent his translations of eleven alchemical works to my grandmother, so they could serve as the basis for compiling textbooks at the University of Law in Avalon.
“After the textbooks were completed, these books became part of grandmother’s private collection.
Later, when I showed no talent for the Path of Authority, grandmother gave them to me.
“I also thought about studying alchemy at one point.
But it turned out to be too complicated for me.
Aiwass said you like alchemy...
It’s wonderful that you do, so the knowledge won’t go to waste.
It would truly be unfortunate for such good books to sit unread.
“Please keep them without worry, Yulia,”
Isabel said gently, “Work towards becoming a great Alchemist.”
