Chapter 270 Alchemy Guild
"But I think you have seen it now. So beautiful Miss Kaninage, can you go out for a walk with me?
The miracle at yesterday's baptism ceremony almost made most of the civilians in the imperial capital know Star.
Almost everyone has a good impression on the cardinal, who is always smiling, has no airs and is amiable. Although he did not hold the real power of the empire, with the title of Duke of Stars alone, everyone who saw him had to bend down and kneel. However, this approachable little duke is so kind that he will hold up any civilian like him kneeling with his own hands.
Even the wisest Majesty Roland can't do this.
Star responded politely to all the pedestrians who greeted him on the road and nodded from time to time. Although it is still early morning, the streets are already crowded with people. Star felt that his neck was about to stiffen, which was obviously harder than fighting against Tonis.
"You are really good at acting!" Kaninage hummed in an untimely whisper.
"Don't you think a cardinal should be kind to the followers of the goddess? This is my attitude, and I don't need you to talk too much!" Star said angrily.
Kaninage changed into a simple and exquisite casual dress. She didn't look like a servant, but more like Star's lover. As a 'death knell', Kaninage has many means to hide his identity. The corners of her eyes looked taller than yesterday, and her cheeks seemed to be thinner. It's a little less naive and more mature than yesterday.
She always smiled and took Star's wrist. As she walked in Star's footsteps, no one could recognize her. She was the assassin who changed everyone's conversation last night.
"Where are we going?" Kaninage asked. Also, why do you want me to hold your hand? I heard that you used to be very close to the Knights Templar.
That's a group of friends! Star smiled bitterly. But the destination is ahead, at least he doesn't have to answer such an embarrassing question.
"Alchemy Guild?" Kaninage looked at the unique badge of the Alchemy Guild and asked in a low voice. What are you doing here?"
"You can just follow me."
It is different from the alchemy guild in Thunder City. The alchemy guild here is not guarded. With so many alchemists in the imperial capital, no one dares to attack the alchemy guild.
The headquarters of the alchemy guild in Hastan mainland is located in the west of the imperial capital, and the four foot of the city are also the headquarters of the other three guilds.
There is a huge circular square here, and the alchemy guild is right in the middle of the square. Unlike Star's imagination, there is not a trace of mystery in the alchemy guild base camp that can defend with the magic guild. Even this square is like a vegetable market! Those guys who look like hawkers casually shouting and attracting customers.
Around the square, there is a circle of high white three-dimensional living. The whole round columns form an alchemy array, providing endless lighting throughout the day. Even in the dark night, this square is brightly lit. At the same time, it can also provide the most powerful defense. Any attached aggressive magic will be instantly eliminated invisibly at the moment of entering this alchemy array.
It is said that this magic array is a masterpiece of Greer 1,500 years ago. Until today, the magic array has not been extinguished once.
Although the imperial capital has fallen several times, as one of the five famous guilds on the mainland, no one dares to provoke the alchemy guild.
Through the 'encirclement' composed of layers of hawkers, Star quickly saw five passages in different directions in the square, leading to the center of the square, which is today's destination. From a bird's eye view from the air, you will find that this building forms the most standard six-pointed star pattern. It is different from the snail-shaped alchemy guild in the City of Thunder, but like a building superimposed by nine six-pointed stars.
The headquarters of the Alchemy Guild is divided into nine centimeters, and the corners of the nine six-pointed stars are not superimposed on each other, which looks like a spinning gear. And each six-pointed star is exactly one layer, and the height of the alchemy guild is exactly ninety-nine blades, only one blade shorter than the palace.
It is said that this symbolizes the never-ending law on the continent of Hastan!
Star walked along the road in the middle of the square into the alchemy guild. This alchemy guild not only has no door, let alone a special one that only alchemists can pass through the array like the City of Thunder. So Kaninage also followed in.
Alchemists are not as rare as magicians. At the moment of entering the alchemy guild, Star saw countless alchemist apprentices in gray robes busy and running.
Most of them are magic apprentices. Knowing that they have no hope of becoming magicians, they have to turn to the alchemy guild. Even if they can't become powerful alchemists, they can't stop them from becoming excellent pharmacists, puppet masters and mechanics. But they are more responsible for the daily chores in the union, such as collecting materials, daily records, document preservation, etc... Of course, these are just alchemists without mentors.
Those who are accepted as apprentices by alchemists who have obtained the official title of alchemist are qualified to work for the tutor and can learn when the tutor is doing experiments.
When Star came in, he immediately attracted a lot of surprised eyes.
The alchemist apprentices in gray robes looked at each other and quickly resumed their busy work. Some of them hold thick and tall hands and skillfully shuttle through the crowd. Some are writing and painting with a goose feather pen on the cowhide scroll, and some are trying to drag the floor with a bucket.
This is the first floor of the alchemy guild, and it is also the place where the alchemy guild welcomes guests.
Around the hexagonal building, a few counters are neatly arranged. There are all kinds of strange alchemy props for sale. These shops are not only the favorite places for alchemists, but also the most frequent places for magicians.
At the same time, it also sells the masterpieces of alchemists to the whole continent. Of course, the premise must be to be able to accept expensive prices.
The hexagonal six-sided counter, each side has been divided into types. There are magic scrolls, mechanical items, alchemy potions, puppets, enchanted weapons... The names of the maker are attached to the things sold here. When these things are sold, except for the commission obtained by the alchemy guild, they will be returned to the alchemist and used as the assets of the alchemist to purchase materials in the next experiment.
"Are you coming to buy something?" Kaninage frowned.
Sta shook his head. He didn't know how to see Doriel and old Billy. Anyway, he is not in a hurry now, but he is very interested in these alchemy items sold.
Staton paused and quickly walked to the counter with dense items.
There is an old man with a white beard standing at the counter. The older man can be Orpheus's grandfather. He was also wearing a gray alchemist robe, and his white beard almost dragged to his chest. He saw Star coming here and shouting a voice that was not commensurate with his age. Dear nobleman, madam, what can I do for you?
Sta is very polite to this kind-faced and old alchemy apprentice. Well, thank you... I think I'd better take a look first. For example, are there any good magic scrolls?
"Oh, let me see... What else do you need? Fire, water or?" The old apprentice's movements were very slippery. He quickly took out several forms from under the counter, which recorded all kinds of scrolls on the counter. A smile piled up on the wrinkled face of steamed buns. Excuse me, do you want magic scrolls for fighting? If you only have one enemy you are about to face, then I suggest you choose to use the thunder magic scroll. It has a small coverage and is very lethal. Oh, and the fire scrolls... It's better at dealing with large enemies."
"What level are they?" Star's heart became more and more interested.
"We usually only sell the magic scrolls of the Magician here, and there are no more upwards." The old apprentice said with a smile.
"Why?" Kaninage asked curiously.
"Dear madam, you should know. The magicians are only two lines away from the sanctuary, and only they can cooperate with the alchemists to make magic scrolls. The magic guild also turns a blind eye to their behavior, because this is the bottom line of the magic guild. If the level goes up again, it will not only exceed the degree that the magic scroll can carry, but also increase the magic burden of alchemists and magicians, and also arouse the vigilance of the magic guild.
The old apprentice's sentence 'Dear Lady' immediately made Kaninage blush. She nodded and quietly stood behind Star.
"So which one do you need?" The old apprentice did not notice the shy look on Kaninage's face, but asked Star again. His task is to sell these magic scrolls to the maximum extent.
"Oh, I think I'm dazzled. There is actually a flame scroll of Agarish and Sadek!" Star looked at the form and said in surprise.
"No, you are not dazzle. At least half of the fire scrolls here are from them, but Elder Sadek disappeared in an alchemy accident. I heard that even the alchemy guild of Thunder City has collapsed!" The old apprentice said regretfully. That was the biggest loss of our alchemy guild. At least hundreds of official alchemists died that time!"
Star nodded with satisfaction. Whether Doriel hid it or something, at least no one would doubt himself. Then prepare ten copies of the scrolls of each department for me.
