Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 12 Saji Forest
Chapter 12 - 12 Saji Forest
Caspar Josh.
His research direction in alchemy is in the rather niche field of "magic element conversion".
The reason why this field is rather niche is simple. In this world, there are no particularly strict restrictions on the attribute talents of magicians. Although there are indeed magicians who are very proficient in a single magic element, even those who are good at ice and water elements can still normally practice and specialize in fire element magic.
This has led to the situation that, unless a magician is particularly unskilled in a
certain magic element, they can all use the power of other magic elements.
Therefore, magic element conversion seems rather鸡肋 (useless or of little practical value).
It is mostly used in civilian applications.
For example, for people living in a snowy and icy environment, if they can reverse ice elements into fire elements at the lowest cost, they will not be easily frozen in winter.
In a world of magic and fighting spirit that favors violent aesthetics, and with the existence of mechas, naturally this academic research is even less useful.
However!
In Su Lian's view!
The foundation of all things in this world is elements, which is different from the atomic composition in the original world. Elements can not only condense matter, but they themselves are also energy. However, only magicians can efficiently utilize elements, and it is very difficult for ordinary pe
ople to do so through conventional alchemy.
But Su Lian only needs the "civilian" level.
Although the foundations of all things are different, the basic physical rules are the same. Then, it is feasible to use a fuel engine as the power source!
Before coming to the academy, I also gave the blueprint to my grandfather. There are indeed "fuel" resources similar to oil in this world. But if basic element conversion can be achieved at this time.
By converting other storable elements at the "civilian" level into fire elements that provide power, it is possible to replace the necessary "magic element power core" at a lower cost, and the cost of war weapons can be further reduced!
Civilian alchemy research?
Humph!
In my eyes, this is military research!
A technical talent that must be wooed!
...
Saji Forest.
This forest is quite vast in area, and there are even small mountain ranges within it. The longest diameter can reach 500 kilometers, and the shortest diameter is also 200 kilometers long. It is said that there are powerful eighth-order magical beasts in the deepest part of the forest, and it may ev
en be a certain kind of dragon-like magical beast.
"Alas, it's a pity that the activity range this time is only limited to the outer area. Otherwise, with my strength, it wouldn't be a problem to hunt a fourth-order magical beast." A young man dressed in luxury said while holding a staff on horseback.
This person is the grandson of Hodge Alfred, one of the three great dukes of the Kingdom of Aivisu, Connie Alfred.
To be more precise, he is the second son of Hodge's third son, and among his many cousins, he has outstanding magic talent. Unfortunately, due to his young age, his overall ability is not strong, and he is also a playboy.
His current strength is at the fourth rank of a magician - a great magician, and he is also the seemingly strongest one in Su Lian's class. He is proficient in fire and thunder element magic, and is an idiot who can do nothing but attack magic.
"That's for sure. With our Lord Connie the Great Magician here, under his powerful attack magic, a fourth-order magical beast simply can't withstand a single blow." A student accompanying him said.
He is from an ordinary middle-class family and shows a servile attitude when he sees the duke's grandson. Su Lian didn't even remember his name.
"Of course. During the family trial last year, I easily killed two fourth-order magical beasts. There's nothing to be afraid of at all." Connie said proudly with his head held high.
"Wow! Lord Connie is so amazing. What kind of fourth-order magical beasts were those two?"
"Too bad we didn't get to see Lord Connie's heroic posture at that time."
The two rather cute girls following him immediately said in a lovesick manner. Judging from their attire, they were at least from middle-class families.
"Humph! It was just a Karoz Earth Dragon and a Yale Black Bear. I easily defeated them." Connie continued to brag proudly!
"Wow! So amazing!"
...
The voices of bragging and exclamation were so loud that even the teachers at the front and the end of the line could hear them. Of course, Su Lian and the others who were further back were no exception.
"He seems really powerful." Zhuo Sandi, the innocent girl, was surprised.
"Well, after all, they were real fourth-order magical beasts." Rex nodded.
Josh was not interested in this at all, while Su Lian felt a bit disdainful in his heart.

Sure enough, what Grandpa said was right. There are too many useless nobles in the Kingdom of Aivisu.
The Karoz Earth Dragon is just a tamed earth dragon riding magical beast. Eighty percent of it was probably a rejected earth dragon pulled from the Earth Dragon Riding Legion by Duke Hodge.
As for the Yale Black Bear, it goes without saying. It is a kind of magical beast that many nobles like as food, and its fur is also very precious. However, under the attack of thunder and fire magic, the fur probably won't be preserved. It's a good choice for this guy to practice on and then add it
to the dinner menu.
"Attention, all groups!"
"We are about to enter the range of Saji Forest. After entering, each group will act separately and gather at the designated area in the forest five days later."
"The situation of hunting magical beasts will affect your credits. At the same time, please pay attention to your own safety. In case of danger, use the magic items to contact us immediately!"
The leading teacher shouted from the front.
The students responded in various ways, with an obvious tone of excitement.
For these freshmen, this kind of practical drill is basically very exciting.
"For this drill, my group led by Connie is going to be the first. Do you have any objections?" Connie shouted loudly!
"Haha, who dares to have any? And they don't have the ability to have any objections either. Lord Connie is a noble great magician!"
Someone immediately echoed.
Of course, among the students who were a bit farther away, there were also some dissatisfied whispers.
"Tsk, what's the point of showing off like that."
"It's troublesome. Even if we want to compete for the first place now, we will definitely be hated by him."
"Sigh, nobles are really annoying."
...
"He's so overbearing." Zhuo Sandi pouted unhappily.
"Haha, anyway, we don't have a chance to compete for the first place." Rex was more open-minded.
"Senior Josh, do you have any good suggestions for the area we should go to?" Su Lian asked directly.
Since I'm not the team leader, to avoid Rex leading us around aimlessly, it should be better to let Josh make the decision.
"It's all about the same. The outer area is very safe. However..." Josh looked at Connie, who was showing off in front.
"However, what?" Su Lian pretended not to understand and asked.
"However, I suggest that you wait for their group to leave first, and then go to the area in the opposite direction." Josh said.
"Right! Let's do that!" Zhuo Sandi immediately agreed. She didn't like this kind of playboy noble like Connie.
"Okay, then let's wait for a while." Rex obviously didn't have his own opinion and was also glad that Su Lian had asked Josh.
This was exactly the result that Su Lian wanted.
Connie's group of seven entered Saji Forest first, and they even competed to be the first in this.
Su Lian and the others entered last. They chose to first circle around the edge for a certain distance and then enter the forest to avoid being in the same area as Connie's group.
They tied their horses next to a big tree with grass. Someone would come to lead them away later. Then, the four of them, Su Lian and the others, entered the forest.
Before entering, he looked back.
This area should be a place where even that seventh-order archmage teacher would have difficulty maintaining spiritual coverage all the time, right?
Then, even if there is an unexpected situation where it is necessary to reveal his strength, there shouldn't be any major problems.
