Chapter 332: Starfall III

Because of the impact of the sandstorm, there are not many people in the Cuestac Adventurers' Guild.

The building looks like an old temple from the outside, and it is said that it used to be a temple in the past, but it has long been unknown which deity it belongs to, and Fang Yu speculates that it is a temple of a secondary god such as Yudrick, and his followers originally overlapped with adventurers.

The ancient frescoes on the deep vaults have long since been mottled and discolored, the hall is paved with pebbles, the brown and red stones form strange patterns, and there are a few people sitting at a few round tables, most of them looking unmotivated. The lighting in the hall was not good, it was a little dim, and the only light came in through the stained window on one side of the wall.

There are some green vines hanging from the beams, shining with a tender yellow light.

Fang Yu didn't look at the contents of the rows of bulletin boards, and walked straight to the paper-shaped counter in the center of the hall. Since the large and small adventurers' guilds of Kaurin-Ishurian are subordinate to the General Union of Goland's Adventurers, most of the interior furnishings are similar from the north of Elpahim to the Sand Realm of Istania.

There were fewer people at the counter, an elf with a longbow handing over a task, and a young man on the other side asking the staff for something.

Since this person actually brought two followers, Fang Yu couldn't help but look at each other twice, only to find that the two followers were wearing scimitars under their robes, and they looked like desert knights. The young man noticed his gaze and turned back to him and nodded.

Out of politeness, Fang Yu also bowed back to the other party.

Then he inserted between the two, the counter number of the Cuestac Adventurer's Guild was marked with the sun, moon and star, the mountain, and the green forest, and the counter where the person was located was the sun mark, and he happened to come to the counter with the emerald tree-like mark.

The staff behind the counter was a Paparal, and this was the first time Fang had seen a Paparal other than Paparals in Kaurin-Ishurian, though they were less rare in the hot areas of southern Istania than in the north. The male Paparal staff member was lying drowsy in a pile of parchment scrolls, and Fang Fang woke up after knocking on the marble countertop twice in succession, and got up and looked at him in confusion.

"Is there a royal commission?" Fang Yu asked.

The Paparrals were obviously still a little confused: "Which royal family?" ”

"Penelope, of course."

The Paparal came to his senses, sleepwalked through the pile of old papers for a while, and then shook his head at him.

"Nope."

"Really?" Fang Yu was extremely suspicious of the other party's state.

"I remember, the royal family hasn't issued any tasks for half a month." The Paparals suddenly remembered something.

Fang Yu looked at the other party's appearance and confirmed that the other party was really not perfunctory, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The royal families everywhere may sound unattainable and seem to have little to do with adventurers, but the royal palace is not all about kings and ministers, princesses and princes, politics and war.

In fact, the royal family also has a lot of trivial matters, which are generally the responsibility of the palace manager, such as helping the court warlocks collect some rare materials, or even helping a princess and prince find their lost pets, etc., and so on, and there are often a lot of them in each quarter. Although he did not know the situation in Istania, he should have been a little surprised to listen to the tone of this Paparal.

The royal family hadn't issued any missions for half a month, and Fang Yu instinctively felt that this might have something to do with the current events.

But I don't know if the King of Sand is really so cautious, and even this detail has been taken into account, or if it just happens to be a coincidence?

But either way, it means that the plan he had thought of before has been put on hold for the time being.

Seeing that he was stunned, the Paparal couldn't help but ask, "Does the gentleman need any other tasks?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head slowly.

Under the somewhat strange gaze of the Paparal, he turned and prepared to leave. But when he turned around, a conversation at the counter next door engraved with the sun logo came to his ears:

"Is it true that Master Burard has not returned?"

"Master Burred originally planned to return this week, but no one expected this sudden sandstorm, and you know that it is unrealistic to return under such circumstances, Your Highness Alepf, I'm sorry."

Due to the distance, Fang Yu did not hear the names of the two people clearly, but he could probably hear who the other party was looking for, and the person he was looking for did not seem to have returned because of the dust storm. The plan to infiltrate the palace was not going well, and he was a little distraught, so he only inadvertently glanced over there, but happened to see something in the other party's hand:

"Tower Magic Furnace?"

Hearing this, the young man paused and looked back at him. The other party was slightly stunned, and then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and asked, "Do you know this thing?" ”

Seeing the other party's eyes, Fang Yu was slightly stunned, when the other party nodded to him before, he didn't pay much attention because he was a little absent-minded, but at this moment, he found that this young man's eyes were quite beautiful, and his eyes were as bright as brown gems.

The other party's whole person can be said to be handsome and handsome, with a straight nose, slightly curly hair, and a melancholy temperament; It was a luxurious robe, and the beautiful satin was not a civilian's costume at first glance, Fang Yu had only subconsciously spoken before, and he didn't want to pay attention to this person.

But looking at the two followers beside this person, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and he changed his mind again. This person seems to have a good background, although he may not really be able to help him, but at this time when he has no clue, it is good to make friends with a nobleman in the city and inquire about information.

With that in mind, he paused and nodded.

The Tower Magic Furnace is a fairly old Magic Furnace, and it can even be said to be an antique. Born about six or seven centuries ago, this design is one of the early configurations of the furnace, which flourished in the Ottorian Empire and then faded into obscurity with the emergence of a new generation of furnace designs.

The last tower furnace also retired from the stage of history three centuries ago, and it is such a magic furnace in the hands of this young man at this moment. This kind of magic furnace may not be recognizable to others, but it is different, because the tower magic furnace is an early classic design, in fact, it can be inherited from the time of the Noumerin elves at the earliest.

In his blueprints, Hain-Fenm outlines how a type of crystal should be used in a 'new' magic furnace, and the 'new' magic furnace in this case is actually a tower magic furnace. Of course, this elven master must not have imagined that his so-called new magic furnace would have been a backward and obsolete design after more than a thousand years.

In fact, how to transform the old crystal design into a contemporary magic furnace that can be used, Fang Yu also took a lot of thought, the idea of a type of crystal was naturally proposed by this elf master, and it was really completed by him from paper to reality.

Because of this, he is well aware of the construction of several types of old-style magic furnaces.

When the young man saw him nodding, he couldn't help but show a surprised look: "You are an alchemist?" ”

The staff at the counter originally wanted to remind him, but when he suddenly saw the five golden doji stars on Fang Yuan's neckline, he subconsciously closed his mouth, and even glanced at Fang Yu with some surprise.

Such a young alchemist of such a high rank is rare in Istania.

The young man obviously noticed this, and simply walked over with his attendant, and said in a sincere tone: "My name is Alepf, can you help me repair this magic furnace, since you can recognize it, you must have also known about this magic furnace, right?" ”

"Repairs?" Fang Yu was a little surprised. He didn't know how to repair this thing, the core of the magic furnace was nothing more than a crystal, if it weren't for the damage to the crystal structure, the other parts of the shell and the aether guide could be repaired by an apprentice. But the crystal frame is nothing to a professional crystal craftsman - although the tower magic furnace is a little off, it is difficult for him.

He was a little surprised, what was there to fix this thing? It's not that it's worthless scrap metal, the Tower Magic Furnace can still be used as an antiquity today, and there are a lot of rich people and alchemists who will collect it.

But the collector doesn't care if this magic furnace can be used or not, as long as the 'condition' is well preserved, after all, no one will really take an old magic furnace to use.

"Yes," Alepf nodded, "Your Excellency should have come to the Adventurers' Guild to ask for a commission, if you want, can you treat this as a commission?" We can register this delegation with the guild immediately, so that both the points and the reward are no different from ordinary delegations. ”

"In terms of remuneration, you can rest assured that we can calculate it according to the best level."

Fang Yu thought to himself that this was also a master who was not bad for money, and it seemed that he really had some identity and status, and he swore so much, which meant that the Adventurer's Guild should still sell him two points of face.

Besides, the staff on the side did not object.

He had the heart to make friends, so he didn't object, just nodded his head and said, "Let me take a look first." ”

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Alepf hurriedly handed over the things.

As Fang Yu expected, this tower-type magic furnace really had a problem with the crystal structure, and the core crystal inside was completely unusable.

He consulted the other party, and after learning that it could be replaced, he simply bought the materials at the Adventurer's Guild on the spot and made a core crystal - of course, this bill was paid by the other party.

He was making the core crystal here, and during this time, several alchemists who entered the hall were attracted by this side, and they were still asking what the task was, to see if they could also take advantage of it. But when they heard that they were making core crystals, they couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Fang Yuan.

In the border land of Istania, there are very few skilled craftsmen, let alone crystallists, and the alchemists among the electors have been steadily increasing in recent years, but the number of crystal craftsmen has not increased much, without it, because this thing is a luxury item of the Grand Guild, and the craftsman himself has a solid basic knowledge.

This alone eliminated most of the electees, but the aborigines could calm down and develop on this path.

At this time, it is naturally surprising that there is such a young crystal craftsman.

A young and not low-ranking alchemist, it can almost be said that he is synonymous with the Elector-

But for Fang Yuan, these are all things that he has long been accustomed to on weekdays, whether it is making crystals, dismantling the magic furnace, and even the tower magic furnace itself is not a rare thing. Others looked at the clouds, but he only completed the task with three clicks and five divided by two, after all, he still had things to do.

"Okay?"

Watching him put the shell back on, Alepf asked with some surprise.

There was also a buzzing discussion around, and if it weren't for the fact that communication was cut off right now, most of the people would have filmed this scene and posted it to the community. Repairing the magic guide furnace is not a rare thing, but Fang Yuan's movements are inevitably too fast, so fast that it is a little dazzling, and it seems to others that it will take at least an hour, how long has it taken to do so?

Someone even took out his pocket watch to look at it and whispered, "Ten minutes haven't arrived?" ”

Alepf also took the magic furnace with some suspicion, trying to inject magic power, no matter what the method, it was always impossible to fake. The others also watched this scene with wide eyes, only to see a low whirring sound coming from the old antique magic furnace, and then suddenly, the aether guide above lit up in turn.

Alepf was startled, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly turned off the magic furnace, as if he was afraid that if he slowed down for a while, this old antique magic furnace would be damaged again because he couldn't bear it.

However, Fang Yu felt that the other party's worry was purely superfluous, how could the things he cultivated be broken so easily?

There are many master craftsmen in this world, each with his own unique secret skills in making all kinds of magic guides - if it is said that in the way of master craftsmen, he may not really be as good as those who have learned and have a certain amount of accumulation, but it is better than repairing magic guides, since Miss Scapet told him the truth and compared the level of others.

Fang Yu can be said to be very confident, and he should have no opponent within twenty levels before and after him in this regard.

But what he thinks, others are not.

Alepf was visibly excited, and he gently lowered the furnace and couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Congratulations, Alepf," the staff member couldn't help but be happy for him, "although Master Burred didn't come back, you finally solved your troubles. ”

Alepf couldn't help but open his arms and hug each other. "You're right, Ode, today is really my lucky day, Lady Luck is on it. I'm sorry for the matter entrusted to you, please be sure to give this gentleman the best record, and the reward will only be counted on me. ”

The people around couldn't help but be a little envious when they looked at Fang Yu, the commissions of the Adventurers' Guild were common, but the commissions of local tyrants were not common.

"It's nature." The staff member replied with a smile and pushed him away.

However, Fang Yu was a little unimpressed, what a lucky day, if it wasn't for his own reasons, he was really in no mood to help the other party repair something.

But since he has cultivated all the repairs, he is not in a hurry, waiting for his goal to be realized.

Alepf turned around again, and in accordance with the etiquette of the desert people, hugged the Plover heavily, and said bluntly, "Thank you, my friend. ”

Fang Yu was a little at a loss for a while.

But luckily, the enthusiasm of the desert people was there, and after the staff registered him for the task and got paid, he exchanged names and contact information with the young man named Alepf. Although I have the intention to make friends with each other and extract information from each other, of course, it is not this time now, and there will be opportunities in the future.

After all, asking such a sensitive question as soon as you come up is hard to guarantee that it will not arouse the vigilance of the other party, and this kind of thing can only be done slowly.

There are no more clues on the adventurer's guild's side, so there is naturally no need for him to stay. It's just that before leaving, a few other adventurer squads came up cheekily and asked him if he had the heart to go on an adventure and get some materials or something, and their team happened to be a professional alchemist Yunyun.

Fang Yu naturally refused one by one.

It's just that he didn't expect to walk out of the hall when he heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Wait, my friend, where are you going?"

Fang Yu looked back, and it wasn't Alepf who stopped him? The young man's brown eyes were even more dazzling in the sun, but the long hair covered the wheat-colored forehead, which looked slightly cloudy. However, the other party's smile was very hearty, and he walked up and patted him on the shoulder:

"Where are you going, my brother?"

Fang Yuan: "??? ”

Why did this person get along so quickly, he was still a friend just now, and he was promoted to a brother so quickly?

Is brother so cheap?

However, the other party obviously saw his surprise, so he withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "I forgot to say, you have helped me a lot, according to the custom of Istania, I have to thank you well." ”

"I've already been paid," Fang Yu had a purpose in his heart, but he was very indifferent. "Mr. Alef."

But Alepf shook his head: "Reward is reward, gratitude is gratitude, it's not the same thing." ”

"Okay," Fang Yu was a little embarrassed when he saw that the other party was so enthusiastic. "But next time, I have something right now."

He really has something, and it is not good to ask the other party directly today if he knows anything about the palace, and this day has just passed halfway, and he is planning to go elsewhere to investigate the information related to Her Royal Highness the princess.

But Alepf smiled: "There is something we can talk about as we go, I know of a decent tavern not far away." Look at the sky, it's almost noon, you haven't eaten yet, have you? ”

Fang Yu looked at this person speechlessly, opened his mouth and didn't speak.

“……”

He was also speechless for a while, are the people of Istania so hospitable, why is this person so familiar?
