Chapter 138: Professional Alchemist?

It didn't take long for Fang Yu to see the team that Sylvid was talking about.

It was a large team, a long line weaving through the forest.

He found that there was not just one guild inside, but a joint team of several small guilds, the largest of which were all wearing blue cross-shaped robes, and were the main part of the group—and many others wore robes of other shapes and colors.

There are more than a dozen of them, and there are only a few of them.

The Negative Hill Behemoth was so conspicuous in the forest, and those people naturally noticed Mr. Limestone and Fang Plover and the others. The team slowly stopped, and Fang Yu saw that the people seemed to be discussing with each other, and then a group of those wearing blue cross-robes slowly walked out.

He stood on the platform and watched as the team made its way through the battlefield of the people and the night lizards last night, and leaned over to this side—

The corpses of the scarvefolk in the glades have long since disappeared, returning to the place where they worship the gods, the scarabmen and the lizardmen have a certain wisdom, they share a belief in a natural spirit, which is a primary god, so naturally they also have a temple of resurrection.

However, the traces of battle on the battlefield cannot be erased, and the broken trees, large scorched clearings, and the tall and eye-catching huge beasts of burden seem to indicate that this 'caravan' is not easy to mess with.

Yes, those people seem to have used Fang Plover and the others as armed caravans, because in the wild, only merchants usually carry large pack animals. Although their team also brought a lot of livestock, they were all small mountain pack animals such as yaks and Sotov Dixinglong.

There were five people in the team.

Four men and one woman, except for one of them who looked older, the others were all young people. They stopped at a safe distance and shouted this way:

"Are you a caravan heading to Cloud Harbor?"

As Princess Brian told the crowd, there was a small village near the Golden Bay anchorage, and before the anchorage was discovered, there were only a dozen or so hunters living there. But with the discovery of the anchorage half a century ago, it grew and grew, often with passing caravans staying or staying there.

Thirty years ago, the merchants of Yunliugang built a trade route across Fenris Island, and since then, the two places have gradually begun to have overland commerce.

So it's not surprising to see small caravans along this route.

The one who shouted was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, wearing a dirty leather waistcoat, the white shirt underneath was almost unrecognizable, and a handcuff and two swords were pinned to his belt, one long and one short. The other party saw the two ballistae on the platform on Mr. Graystone's back, one in front and one behind, and the crossbow arrows with the thickness of his arm were shining with cold light, so he stopped far away and couldn't help but be speechless.

Caravans usually use large pack beasts as a means of transport, but it is really rare to be so frenzied to add two ballistas, and it is an exaggeration to say that they are armed merchants.

However, he probably didn't expect that the young man on the opposite platform didn't think that this platform was a hedgehog enough.

Of course, Fang Yu and his party were not originally a caravan.

Fang Yu shook his head at these people on the platform, and replied loudly, "We are not merchants, we are adventurers who plan to go to Cloud Harbor. ”

Only then did the man see the golden orbs flying slowly around the platform, as well as the metal gloves on Fang Yuan's hands. Alchemist, he couldn't help but suddenly feel that a team with alchemists as the main body naturally needed such a large pack beast platform.

Of course, there is also the option of a combat craftsman who can control the clockwork elf, but the man obviously didn't think in that direction. In Aitalia, battle craftsmen are generally a profession unique to large guilds, even ordinary small guilds cannot afford to train, and battle craftsmen from free adventurers are even rarer.

Like them, the Rainhearer Guild doesn't have a single combat craftsman, but there are a few professional alchemists in the guild, but they are all important assets of the guild, and they will not easily participate in the adventure.

When they go out on adventures, they are usually accompanied by trainees and part-time trainee alchemists, and if they are just to maintain and maintain the magician, it is basically enough.

A team of professional alchemists, this discovery made the man happy, Fang Yu saw that the man immediately turned back to communicate with his companions, and several people showed relieved expressions on their faces.

He was still a little strange, but he saw the other party turn around and shout to this side: "Is Your Excellency a traveling alchemist?" ”

Fang Yu paused for a moment, he really thought carefully about whether he was an alchemist or not.

In Aitalia, the profession of alchemist naturally included combat artisans as well. But generally speaking, when adventurers call each other, the battle craftsman is naturally the battle craftsman, and the alchemist generally refers to the full-time alchemist.

In this respect, he is certainly a combat craftsman.

But if you look closely, he doesn't really invest much in the field of combat craftsman, less than half of his total experience—and more of his experience actually goes to the master craftsman route.

This is because he lacks his own magical adaptability, and has to inherit the mantle of Hain-Sailm, and to inherit the mantle of an alchemist master, it is obviously not enough to know it in the field of alchemy.

What's more, he also had to design and build the dragon knight structure himself, and now he has another obligation to build a ship, in short, he is going further and further on the road of master craftsmen.

And the route of the master craftsman is undoubtedly the most orthodox route of a professional alchemist.

So he nodded.

He is probably barely a professional alchemist, although the alchemist level may not be as high as his total character level.

"That's great," the man nodded at him, undisguised with his joy, "Mr. Alchemist, we may need your favor, but don't worry, we'll pay you at the market price." ”

Remuneration?

Fang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"What's going on?" At this time, Attila heard the sound outside, and also came out of the room and asked.

"A forest elf?" The man was taken aback, the Giant Tree Hill did not belong to the Cloud Sea region, and although the forest elves here were not as rare as the people of Rotao, they were not one of the common races.

But this discovery was not so much a surprise to him as it was a surprise - an adventuring party traveling to the Sea of Clouds from other regions at least showed that the other party would certainly not be a novice.

He didn't expect that he would meet an adventure group led by a high-level alchemist in such a place in the northern mountains and forests of Fenris, which was really a solution to his urgent need.

After the other party's explanation, Fang Yu and Attila understood what was going on.

The man and his companion were both members of the Rainhearer's Guild, and the blue robe with a cross was naturally the guild emblem of the Rainlistener's Guild.

And they were accompanied by other guilds large and small on Fenris Island, and it can be said that the guilds of Fenris that are slightly more famous have basically gathered here.

It's just that the largest of them is naturally the rain listener.

These men, as Princess Brian had said, had come to take part in the Spring and Autumn Parade, and according to the man, they sailed from Yunli Harbor to Golden Bay at this time of year, and from here deep into the depths of the Green Dragon Mountains.

The remnants of the ancient snake empire are located in a valley deep in the mountains.

Since it is a parade of trainees, naturally more than half of the people in this team are trainees from various guilds, and in addition to that, there are guild veterans who are responsible for protecting these trainees, about one-third.

They do this twice a year, and they have done it so many times, but they didn't expect to run into trouble this time.

It turned out that they, like Fang Yu and his party, had also been attacked by the night lizardmen last night, although almost every year when they passed through this place they would attract night lizard attackers, but generally speaking, the harassment of a few or a dozen night lizard attackers was not worth mentioning in front of the large force formed by these guilds.

It's just that this time it's different-

"It looks like Your Excellency has also been attacked by the night lizardmen," the man looked around, he was a veteran, and naturally he could see the traces of the battle: "We are the same, those brutes seem to be very large this year, although we have repelled them, but the losses are also very serious. ”

"I understand," Fang Yu understood the meaning of the other party's words, and the battle situation was fierce, indicating that the loss of the magic guide was getting more serious: "You want me to help you maintain the magic guide?" But you don't have an alchemist with you? ”

The man shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "Mr. Alchemist, you know that an ordinary adventure group like ours will not bring professional alchemists on the road, and those apprentices can do some tinkering things." ”

The man shook his head: "Actually, if I can, I hope to buy some weapons and armor from Your Excellency for replacement, even if it is a whiteboard equipment." ”

Fang Yu shook again.

After he reacted to this, he was secretly a little surprised, thinking to himself how fierce the other party had been in battle to make so many magic guides wear down to the point that they could not be repaired?

"Weapons and armor can be bought?"

Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little square for a while.

It's normal for the other party to have this idea, because generally speaking, the adventure group led by an alchemist is half a mobile store in the wild.

Because after collecting the materials, they will tend to make them directly into finished products, plus a lot of products for practice, except that the style of the finished products may be a little local to local conditions, and the variety is not so rich, other aspects are no different from the magic shops in the town.

And such traveling alchemists are also happy to trade with adventurers in the wild, not paying taxes, and willing to pay higher prices in the wild.

But Fang Plover is different.

He hadn't had enough time to study the Zero and One Crystals since he had been on Traveler's Rest, and the rest of the time he had spent either helping the rest of the team maintain their gear or modifying platforms, such as installing the two ballistas.

Even if he has a little personal time, it will be occupied by a smiling aristocratic lady, who will help him understand the design drawings of the airship.

Where is the time for other things?

He almost had to sleep and eat even to learn alchemy.

In fact, he hadn't seen anyone on the Berio a few times, and it wasn't because Fang Yu was willing to lock himself in the house all day.

But just as he was about to say no, a voice came from beside him, and answered for him:

"Yes."

Fang Yu was taken aback, looked back, and found that it was indeed Miss Attila who spoke.

But where did he get what to sell to these people? He made a box of crossbows for Parker during the day yesterday, but would anyone want that kind of thing?

Fang Yu was afraid that Miss Elf would not know about his situation, and his experience was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary alchemists, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and whispered, "Wait, Miss Attila, I-"

But Attila gently pressed his hand and shook her head at him without a trace, signaling him to be at ease.

Fang Yu was slightly stunned when he saw this, but he could only temporarily stop fighting.

It's just that I don't know what kind of medicine Miss Atira bought in the gourd, she should actually know what the assets in the team are.

"Thank you very much." The man glanced at Attila, naturally he didn't know the inner activities of the two people on the platform, the situation of their team was actually much more serious than he said, although it was not to lose its combat effectiveness immediately, but if it was done again according to the situation last night, it would be a big problem.

Maybe they don't need to do it again, just half the number of noxlizard raiders from yesterday to put them in a dilemma. At that time, it will be possible for the entire army to be destroyed.

The problem of the annihilation of these veterans is not a big problem, at best, it is a matter of a little less starlight, but the guild has lost a group of trainees, and no one can afford this responsibility.

Not to mention in this stressful time of life.

Of course, they can also choose to return to Jinwan, but it will be a waste of at least two days to go back and forth, and in fact, the time node of the spring and autumn parade is fixed, and this return may be in danger of missing the trial.

Although that situation is better than the annihilation of the whole army, it is actually not much different, at least the trainee training plan for this half year is basically in vain.

They had already found themselves in a dilemma when they were at the Emerald Pass, and if it hadn't been for the sounding airship telling them that there was a caravan in the valley ahead, this news from heaven would have saved them from their trouble.

It's just that I didn't expect that the caravan was not a caravan, but an adventure group led by an alchemist. But it seems that the latter is even better than they originally envisioned.

Encountering an adventuring party led by an alchemist in the wilderness is hard to come by, not to mention in Fenris, even in areas like Kaurin.

Therefore, the man hurriedly nodded—he didn't know that there was such a strange thing as Fang Yuan in the alchemist's ranks. It only took a month to become a trainee alchemist for more than half a year, and then it only took a month to go from level three to level eight, although it seems that the level is not low, but in fact, it is still a novice.

As for what property, what kind of work is in stock, that is naturally not there.

He said, "Ms. Elf, then we will calculate the cost according to the market price in the Fenris Island area, and you can find out the local price in the community, what do you think?" Of course, this is the wild, and theoretically you can increase the price appropriately. ”

The price is certainly fair.

Attila knew this, but she shook her head and said, "Sir, as you can see, we have also been attacked by the night lizardmen, and we have lost some rations and a lot of supplies, so we may not be able to produce the finished products for the time being. ”

"But I have a proposal, you can hire us to accompany you, and I can see that you are in a hurry, and it is clear that returning to Jinwan is more than worth the cost. So we can help each other, on the one hand, we also have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, and then we can help when we meet the night lizards, on the other hand, we can help you make a batch of equipment on the road, as you can see, we are also carrying beast platforms, and we can complete the crafting task while traveling. ”

The man was slightly stunned, his face was still a little ugly when he heard Attila's first half of the sentence, but after listening to this proposal, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Honestly, he found that he couldn't disagree, because he really didn't have many options.

Of course, this was because he subconsciously believed that the team was led by a highly skilled alchemist - although Fang Yuan did not look very old, age usually didn't mean much to the genius of the Elector.

He himself was the Chosen One, and naturally understood this.

On the other hand, the other party is from a region beyond the sea of clouds, and the adventure group that can travel across regions will not be a novice team? The fact that the other party has a large pack beast of extraordinary value seems to be able to illustrate this from the side.

Of course, if he knew that the young man on the other side was only at a level of less than nine levels, he would probably immediately consider the issue of returning to Jinwan, an eighth-level alchemist was certainly not a novice, but he was probably still a certain level away from the profession.

He thought for a moment before nodding, "What about the price?" ”

"In terms of price, we will let someone discuss with you later, since it is a joint help, we will naturally provide you with a relatively preferential price. However, we would like to be able to settle the bill with a portion of the rations. Attila replied calmly.

"That's fine." The man replied that they had not lost much in the previous night's battle, and that there was apparently no problem with the ration reserves.

"That's settled, ma'am," he continued, "we'll let the rest of us rest here for a while while we discuss merging the teams." ”

As he spoke, the man took off his feathered tricorn hat and saluted the crowd before turning to leave.

Fang Yu watched the other party leave, and then looked at Atira with a little weakness: "Is this okay, Miss Atila?" ”

"Are you not confident in your alchemy, Ed?" Miss Elf asked, looking back.

Fang Yu scratched his head, to be honest, he really didn't know what level his alchemist was, unlike in the field of combat craftsmen, he had fought against Wu Di and Red Leaf, the top geniuses of the first-line guild of Aitalia, and he probably knew what level his combat power was.

And his alchemist, in addition to receiving unanimous praise from everyone in the group when he was on the Dawn Star, his only performance was probably only in the continental league.

However, the main competition in the continental league is the speed and precision of the alchemist, but in Aitaria alchemy is a vast field, far more than speed and precision.

And in addition to being a little confident in re-maintaining the magic guide, he really doesn't know much about the production, in fact, since he entered this world, there are actually only a few things he has made.

Among them, there are even fewer high-quality products.
