Section 538 Nail Alchemy House
The bustling long street, the fluttering flags, and the flow of people like dragons.
There are all kinds of shops on both sides, from magic materials to magic plants, from tricks to spells, from weapons to armor, from special research to potion analysis...... Walking through it, it seems that you can peel off the mystery of the wizarding world little by little like a shell, and reveal it to everyone.
However, when you think you have seen all the mystery, you find that this is just a tip of the iceberg exposed on the surface of the sea, and you can never imagine what kind of behemoth this small tip of the iceberg will spread out under the dark sea.
Ingres walked along Mans Street, comparing the prices of various materials, and after determining the price range, he compared the quality of the materials to make sure that they met his mind before starting to buy.
This visit is most of the hour. During this time, Angel found that there were many restrictions on the shop.
For example, some shops have a hard condition: wizards can only enter.
These are mostly shops for certain spell books, or high-level transactions that only wizards can relate.
This kind of shop, Angel is naturally not qualified to step into. Even if he was very curious in his heart, there was a magic energy array at the door of these shops to check his eyesight, and those who could not reach the wizard level and forcibly broke through would be injured at least and with no bones left. As for the extent of the punishment, it is purely a matter of whether the shopkeeper is merciful or not.
There are many similar hard conditions, in addition to the distinction of power levels.
For example, Ingres saw an exquisite villa shrouded in a thin smoke, with a shop sign reading "Starry Clothes River" hanging at the door, and a row of words written clearly below the shop sign: Refuse to enter the male form.
If it is just "denying men entry", but it just writes a "male form", can it be said that you can enter by transforming into a female form?
As Ingres thought this, he saw a delicate woman come out of the inside, and as soon as she left the shop, she became a burly man.
Ingres: "......"
In other words, what's the point of such a strange request? Angel is more curious about what he sells inside, but he doesn't know how to transfigulate, so I don't know if he can clear the level by simulating a woman's form with illusion?
Answer: No.
Angel asked the Demon Eye Attendant standing in the doorway, and when he got this answer, he had to leave in a sneer.
This kind of strange requirement, the requirements for men are simply not too high, either inject the blood that can be transformed, or you can only rely on Transfiguration, but the difficulty of Transfiguration is simply tears, in addition to the fact that formal wizards have such a long life to study, the apprentice is basically completely eliminated from the possibility.
There are many similar strange requirements. For example, humanoid beings are not allowed to enter, under the age of 200 are not allowed to enter, and non-magicians are not allowed to enter...... Wait a minute.
All of the above are hard conditions, and some stores are more soft conditions.
For example, if there is a shop that sells potions, and there is a squire standing at the door, you can enter by saying "praise for the Van der Waali school and disdain for other schools" to the squire.
There is also a general shop that specializes in alchemists, and you have to answer some of the necessary tests before you can enter it.
These soft conditions are all adjustable in scope, even if there are a lot of wizard-level items inside, but as long as you meet the conditions, apprentice-level ones can also enter.
Angels is now in front of this general shop for alchemists, with the sign "Nail Alchemy House".
Although the name was a little strange, the shop looked huge, and there was a lot of traffic from alchemists, and Angel walked over.
The demon servant standing at the door was a fragrant wood puppet, compared to the puppet refined by Bogula from a living person, this fragrant wood puppet was not finely carved, and if it was a little fatter, it would be like a tree people.
The squire first asked which branch Ingres belonged to, whether it was Epigraphy or Apothecary. Then, after determining that Ingres was an alchemist specializing in enchantment, he concocted a few magic patterns for Ingres to identify.
"This is the most common supplementary pattern on the elemental side, and it can be used to ......" Angel was about to explain the usage when he was interrupted by the demon servant: "The answer is correct, and the specific explanation is needless to say." β
After Angel answered the names of the remaining lines, the squire let him go.
If Angel has an information card in Sky Mechanical City, the Demon Warrior can directly register the information card, so that Angel doesn't have to answer questions when he enters the store in the future.
Ingres did have information cards, but one was anonymous and given to him by Sanders, and one was given by him incognito under the name "Baron Milk". The former does not have a name characteristic, so it is not registered. In the latter's case, if the demon squire wants to register an information card, he will inevitably register with his shameful name, so Angel thought about it and directly said that there was no information card.
After entering the store, when Angel was still looking at the furnishings of this large shop, he found that many eyes with measurement were on him.
It was a group of apprentices dressed in alchemy robes, sitting on wooden chairs next to them, talking and chatting, and glancing at him with their eyes.
Angel looked puzzled, wondering what they meant?
Just as Angels was wondering, a hoarse old female voice came into Angels' ears.
"Welcome, young alchemist. β
When Ingres looked back, he saw that it was a low old lady who had suddenly appeared at the counter.
The old lady was about the same height as Shan, reaching Ingres' waist at most. He was a little fat, wearing a blue jeweled dress, and his silver hair was detached and neat.
Another most striking feature of this little old lady is that a fan-shaped hairpin like a peacock is inserted in the bun on the back of her head. This hairpin is very large, almost half the size of her head, and the "peacock feather" on it is particularly special, which is a piece of brightly colored nails.
Looking at those nails, Angel subconsciously glanced at the little old lady's hand.
Sure enough, on her hands, which were completely out of age, the nails were exactly the same style and color as her hairpins.
"Hello, dear lady. "Angel bowed halfway, because he couldn't see through the little old lady's cultivation, if he didn't deliberately hide it, he would probably be a wizard-level existence.
"Are you curious why they're staring at you?" the little old lady held out her finger, revealing her bright red nails, and pointed to the group of alchemy apprentices sitting next to her.
As soon as they saw the old lady pointing over, they immediately turned their heads and went about their own business. Judging from this reaction, the identity of the little old lady must not be simple.
Ingres remained silent: "I would like to hear about it." β
"Because they eavesdropped on Neha's conversation with you. By the way, Neha is the fragrant puppet at the door. The little old lady motioned for Angel to sit down at the counter: "Although the circle of alchemists in Sky Machinery City is not small, everyone knows the roots, and they are very curious about an alchemist who suddenly arrives." β
Angels: "Understandable. β
The little old lady's eyes suddenly flashed: "In particular, there are not many alchemists who learn enchantment. In our circle, the one who has been in the limelight the most recently is an alchemist who almost came into contact with the mysterious level, and I heard that he is also a master of enchantment. β
Angel smiled faintly and did not answer.
The little old lady didn't break it, but introduced herself: "I forgot my name, others call me Granny Nails, I am the owner of this small shop, I don't know what customers want to get when they come to my shop?"
The little old lady's statement made Ingres unexpectedly familiar.
"I wonder if the shopkeeper and the ironclad mother-in-law can know each other?" When Angel first met the ironclad mother-in-law, the other party also introduced himself like this.
Granny Nails: "Granny Ironclad of Ironclad Castle? I've heard her name, but I've never seen her. β
Angel nodded, it was a guess, so there was no doubt about it.
"I want to buy some materials, I don't know if they are available in the store?" Ingres continued, saying the materials he needed, most of which were precious magic materials that he hadn't seen outside.
After listening to this large string of materials, the nail mother-in-law said with a strange expression: "The young man's ambition is quite high. β
In this large pile of materials, there are gold and stone science and pharmacy, and the genre is different, so it is no wonder that Granny Nail responds in this way.
Angel didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile and nod.
"There are a lot of treasured materials left here, if other alchemy apprentices came to ask, I wouldn't sell them, it's a terrible thing. But if it's you, you can't ...... I've heard that Midora is still teaching you apothecary, no wonder she's buying these plants. Nail mother-in-law said lightly.
From her words, Ingres understood that her identity was probably not a secret in her eyes.
And she actually knew that Midora instructed him in pharmacy?This is something that Sanders didn't even ask, obviously she had a friendship with Midora, thinking of this, Angels's attitude towards Granny Nails was more respectful, and she was secretly suspicious of her identity.
Soon, Granny Nails took out two disposable space soft bags from the backstage: "This one is used for medicine, and the other is used for Jinshi Studies." β
Angel nodded, sensing it with his mental power.
After a few minutes, Ingres had a count in his mind and asked for the price.
"There are a total of 13,590 magic crystals, count you in 13,500. β
As soon as this price came out, the alchemy apprentices who eavesdropped on this side were all wide-eyed, even if they had a skill and didn't lack magic crystal flowers, but it was more than 10,000 magic crystals, which was not a number they could take out! You must know that many high-level alchemy props are not worth 10,000 magic crystals!
Angel estimated it himself, and it was about the same price. He originally planned to buy these materials separately from other stores to avoid attracting attention. But the materials given by the nail mother-in-law are in good condition, and they are the best Ingres has ever seen.
Between the trade-offs, Ingres still chose to buy it here, the price is reasonable, the quality is excellent, and he really has no reason to refuse.
Angel's one-time payment made many alchemy apprentices suspicious of his identity, which was originally just a seven-point guess, but now most of them are sure of his identity.
Ingres had even heard his name mentioned, and there was a hint of reverence.
It seems that his reputation is in the alchemy circle, but it is not so stinky. This is also true, after all, people who are also in the alchemy circle have more information than the outside world.
"I wonder if the guests have anything else to need? there are many precious alchemy codexes of famous alchemists, and they are also available here. Of course, if you want to learn something specific on your own, I can provide that as well. Nail granny said.
The Alchemy Codex?This is an alchemist's most precious thing, and it would be sold?
When Angel inquired, he found out that these alchemical codex were not for sale, and he would exchange his knowledge if he wanted to.
Although Angels had a complete alchemy system, and even many ancient schools of alchemy, there was a lack of details such as the Alchemy Codex to record experience. However, he inquired about the premise of the exchange, and found that many of the knowledge exchanged in the Alchemy Codex were very high-end, and they were all the core content of a genre, and they were not worth exchanging.
Anyway, you can slowly accumulate these experiences, and it's a big deal to take a few wrong paths, anyway, the general direction remains the same, and you will eventually go on the right path.
Thinking of this, Ingres stopped thinking about buying the Alchemy Codex.
However, he did need something, but not knowledge or materials, but some tailoring tools for alchemical clothing.
