The morning of St. Yale is already very lively, the shops on the street have already opened their doors, and from time to time there are alchemy puppets busy putting out the items for sale. Darko and his party of six walked down the spacious street in the direction of the Alchemy Guild. Phyllis kept chattering and chattering, so that several people would not be bored along the way.

"Roberts, you've got a special cloak! Wrap yourself in a mummy, haha!"

Wendy only paused for a moment and continued to float away, but did not respond. She was now wrapped in a wide cloak, and her hood was so dark that she couldn't even see her face at all. The cloak was somewhat similar to Darko's, but it was wider and the hood was twice the size of a normal head, which Wendy had made for herself. Although the cloak was wide, it just reflected the outline of a body, and from the outside it looked like a warrior as strong as Otto, and there was no trace of feminine features. This disguise makes other people who see Wendy, even if they can't see her face, think that she is an inconvenient male warrior. In St. Yale's city, it is not uncommon for people to disguise their identities in this way.

Seeing that Wendy didn't answer, Phyllis snorted boredly a few times, and then turned to Otto, "Weedmeier!

"Oh, I didn't sleep well last night. Otto had been pondering something, and only responded when he heard Phyllis ask, and then raised his hand to release a flame, thinking about something as he adjusted the size of the flame.

The flame caught Kevin's eye, and he nodded approvingly, "The flame color is bright red, and the fluctuation range is small, and your control over the flame has increased by another level in the past night, almost reaching the level of an intermediate apothecary." No wonder you have such heavy dark circles under your eyes, I'm afraid you've been practicing all night, right?"

Otto was complimented, his mood fluctuated, and the flames in his hands turned into raging flames before they were properly controlled. Fortunately, the flame flickered away and did not cause any damage. It only scorched a large piece of Otto's hair, and his eyebrows and eyes were much shorter.

The apothecary's control of the heat is extremely important, so the control of the fire becomes a top priority. The Hand of Fire is a very common form of fire magic, but it is a completely different way for ordinary mages and apothecaries to cast it. For example, if Darko releases the Flame Hand, the shape of the flame will jump, no different from a natural flame, and Otto has been able to control the fluctuation of the flame shape to a very small range of variation. And if it is released by a master apothecary, the flame can even change shape almost unformed, as stable as a magic light.

"With your current control, you can refine a first-level potion even without the ability of the realm, right?" Wendy asked thoughtfully.

Otto nodded, "You can only refine a first-level potion, and the more advanced ones can't, you need to rely on the realm." ”

"You just need one to sign up for the Alchemy Grand Prix, so all you need is a junior pharmacist. Wendy muttered, "If you use your domain abilities to refine high-grade potions in your level certification, it will not only attract attention, but it will also be easy for our potential opponents to find out. ”

Kevin agreed, "It makes sense, it's just as important to hide yourself as it is to know your opponents, and in order to win the championship, we have to pay attention to every detail." ”

Phyllis turned to Kevin, "Hey, Costner, the Sacred Ring you want to get back won't be easy to find in the Collector's Hall, but don't worry, if I find it first, I'll sell it to you for double the price!"

Kevin looked at Phyllis helplessly, "Don't worry about it, I have a blood connection with that ring, and I will definitely find it before you." ”

"Bloodline sensing?" Phyllis suddenly became interested, leaned over to Kevin's side and asked, "Only strong bloodlines can have that kind of jewelry with bloodline sensing, ordinary bloodlines will inevitably not be able to sense after three generations, how do you have that kind of ring?

Kevin was silent for a moment before he whispered, "The spirit of the ring is my father's soul." ”

Hearing Kevin say this, Phyllis also knew that she shouldn't ask, so she stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. Darko was more familiar with the machine spirit, his own soul almost became a machine spirit before the two were merged, he had also seen Android in the restaurant that day, combined with what Kevin said, it seemed that he guessed something and fell into deep thought.

Soon the six of them arrived at the Alchemy Guild, and when they saw the building of the Alchemy Guild, Dakko was immediately shocked. He had seen the main shrines of the Dark Church and the Space Church before, and he had also seen the Temple of the Ocean Church in the Mercury Plane, but compared to the main temple of the Alchemy Guild, those were not worth mentioning.

The city of St. Yale was built on a vast inflow plain, and the entire main hall of the Alchemy Guild was a tall tower standing in the very center of this plain. As the headquarters of the Alchemy Guild, this tower is taller than any magic tower in the Academy of Magic. And it was not a single magician who served, but hundreds of alchemists.

The biggest function of the Alchemy Guild is to communicate with each other, alchemy requires a lot of material support, and a person's energy is limited after all, and it is impossible to collect all the materials. Because of the particularity of alchemy, many materials have no commercial value, such as dragon saliva, bat fluff and other materials, except for alchemists, others are completely useless, so they cannot be purchased through normal commercial methods. At the same time, there are many materials that are by-products of alchemical experiments, which can only be obtained from alchemists, and the cost of conducting an experiment for one or two by-products is too high.

For various reasons, the need for intercommunication within alchemy has arisen, and thus there is the basis for the existence of the Alchemy Guild. Alchemists sell or exchange the by-products of their experiments, or materials they don't use, through guilds for money or other materials. This is the main function of the Alchemy Guild, and as for the level certification of alchemists, it is purely a secondary function derived from it.

When Darko was looking up at the spire, he suddenly heard a voice next to him, "Isn't this Miss Nike Remmons, this person next to you, looking around, really hasn't seen anything in the world." ”

Darko withdrew his gaze from looking up at the Alchemy Guild and followed the sound, only to see a tall and thin young man walking slowly, followed by a young man who looked a little similar to him.

Phyllis also saw the man, and asked with an unkind face, "Ajda, why are you here for the Alchemy Guild?"

Ajda was the young man who had just spoken out, and when he heard Phyllis's words, he raised his eyebrows, "Hey, how did you say this as if the Alchemy Guild was run by your family? ”

Phyllis pouted, "Hmph, we're here to certify the Scribe's rank! We're going to win the Grand Prix!"

"It just so happens that I also brought him to the inscription master level certification, so it seems that this year's competition will be very interesting. Ajida made a surprised look and laughed, "Haha." I'm curious, how far can you, who didn't know anything in the last competition, perform in this edition?"

Phyllis jumped to her feet in anger, "You, a second-rate jeweler who only won the top eight places last year, deserve to laugh at me?"

"I just lacked a little bit of luck last time, but if I face those opponents again, I'm going to win the title. Of course, it's a matter of course to laugh at you rookies. Aegida smiled presumptuously, waved her hand at Phyllis, and led the young man beside him into the gate of the Alchemy Guild.

"Darko, listen, you can't lose to that kid when you wait for the level certification!" Phyllis gritted her teeth fiercely, and explained when she saw the confusion on Darko's face, "That Agida belongs to the Phoenix family, and there is a bit of hatred between us that hasn't been resolved." ”

Darko was stunned for a moment, he found that Phyllis really had a lot of enemies.

Leah didn't notice the dispute between Phyllis and Agida, but was still thinking about the previous incident, pestering Kevin to gossip, "There is actually your ring in the collection hall?

Liya didn't deliberately lower her voice when she spoke, and there were more people in front of the Alchemy Guild, and immediately a young man next to her turned his head and asked, "You're talking about that mysterious thing in the collection hall, right? ”

Leah asked in surprise, "How did you know about this?"

"Now the news is spreading everywhere, and many teams that are not very good have signed up for the competition. The young man, as if to show off in front of the two beauties, Phyllis and Leah, said mysteriously, "But I tell you, from the inside information I have, it is not jewelry, nor is it a weapon or armor!"

Darko was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that what the young man was talking about was not Kevin's holy ring. But then he was even more puzzled, what else could be so interesting other than the holy weapon, and even such gossip appeared?

Phyllis hurriedly asked, "It's not jewelry, weapons, and armor, so what are you talking about?"

"Well, supposedly, that's a coordinate, and it leads to some mysterious place. Because that place is so powerful, even the Alchemy Guild is very jealous. After saying this, the young man was called away by his companions, apparently also to the Alchemy Guild for something.

Liya turned her head at this time and said, "I've been making recruitment announcements these days, and I've heard similar news, it's about a coordinate, it seems that this gossip is spreading widely." ”

Kevin frowned suspiciously, "It's strange that such an untrue news has spread so widely, I'm afraid it's not just the Alchemy Guild in order to get more people to participate in the registration." ”

"That's right, I'm afraid it's really a great thing, and even the Alchemy Guild is very afraid of it. Wendy, shrouded in a cloak, also made a voice, but it was a very hoarse and somewhat mechanical male voice.

Otto was amazed, "You can change your voice too, so powerful!"

"I learned it from another qi mage, but that's all I can do. The hoarse male voice was word-for-word, and the speed of speech was not fast, like a dying man.

Darko suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is it the same principle as VitQ's bomb?"

"That's right, it's through the blast bomb, but I can't replicate the sound so vividly, it's the extreme. Wendy was telling the truth, she thought she had great magical control, but when she met VitQ, she realized that she was weak. These days, she's been studying the mechanics of the sound of a blast bomb, but until now she's barely able to make one sound.

As they spoke, the six of them had already entered the hall on the first floor of the Alchemy Guild, where people came and went, and the excitement was no worse than that of the Space Temple.

The Inscriptionist's Hall is on the fifth floor, the Apothecary is on the eighth floor, and the Jeweler's is on the sixth floor. After discussion, Phyllis went to the fifth floor to see Darko's inscription certification, Leah went to see Otto's pharmacist certification, Kevin's jewelry level was well known, and several people were not interested in watching it, Wendy saw that Kevin was alone and decided to go to the sixth floor to accompany him. Kevin had tried to avoid being associated with the Alchemy Guild in order to stay away from his brother, and he didn't have anything to show off about his jewelry certification, in fact, it didn't matter if anyone was watching or not, he just smiled at Wendy.

A few people acted separately and went up to the fifth floor of the Alchemy Guild, and Dakko saw that on the right side of the hall there was an alchemy machine that received level certification, which was obviously prepared to facilitate the level certification. Phyllis inevitably met Ajda again, and she simply glanced at her, ignoring Ajda, but the boy Ajda was carrying smiled at Darko.

Registration is also to fill out a contract, and Daktronics can't help but admire the rigor of the Alchemy Guild, and even a level certification is filled in the form of a contract. Darko and the boy quickly completed the registration, and Dakko learned from the completed contract that the boy's name was Kutch, and the two of them paid a fee of ten gold coins each, and were led upstairs. Phyllis winked at Darko and walked up the steps from the other side to cheer him on in a condescending manner.
