Rhett leaned against the wall, his pocket pipe in his paws, swallowing the clouds and squinting his eyes as the smoke took shape into mountains, rivers, and birds. The Paparrals looked up at the thick layers of paper affixed to the bulletin boards, mostly commissioned assignments, but also for the search for craftsmen on the team, for technical support in the factories, and even for the befriending of the bride—or the prank of one of the Electors.

Parker read out the one curiously: "Despicable green onion, thirty-eight years old, born as a swordsman, good conduct, dignified appearance, unmarried......"

Not far away, a cat got up from his chair, looked at him with disdain, jumped off the chair with a kick, and left with his tail up.

"Alright." Not far away, under the guard of the dwarves, Fang Yu straightened up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Okay?" The dwarves blinked their little eyes and looked at each other. Especially the white-bearded dwarf, he used the Fang Plover to hit his bad friends, but he never thought that this hairy boy could really repair this thing well.

"Alright." Fang Yu replied affirmatively, and he patted the projection crystal, as if he was hinting at a work of his own.

Arquette shot at him with a lunge, his stocky body holding on to the crystal, and examining it up and down. He gasped, his eyes widened, and he trembled, "This ...... It's ......"

"Really fixed?" The other dwarves were even more incredulous and asked.

Fang Yu had a black line, thinking that since you don't believe that I can fix it, what are you still asking me to do, do you want me to do it, do you see a joke?

Arquette cautiously turned his head and gave Fang Yuan a strange look, and in the eyes of everyone, he trotted all the way over, bending down with a short round body and taking out two storage crystals from the cabinet.

I ran back and inserted the crystal into the base of the projector, but I saw that the slender projection crystal was slightly lit up, and there was a blue light. The dwarves cheered in unison: "Rotas is on top, it's really repaired!" ”

Parker heard the voice, turned around, and could only show the stupid hair on the top of his head on tiptoe, and the little little one shouted anxiously, "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's going on?" Big cat man, hug me up! ”

Red watched from outside the counter, slamming his pipe against the wall with his paws.

Arquette stroked the projection crystal with his rough hand like stroking his lover, turned his head and asked in a trembling voice: "Hairy boy, this—this is a new way of thinking...... No, the new configuration, this is your invention? ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at this dwarven alchemist with some surprise.

In fact, it is not difficult for him to repair this crystal, but it is easy to reach a dead end under the traditional thinking. But Hayne-Sail's few ideas on the efficiency of mana conversion on a crystal can solve such a problem.

He just drew inferences and used it to repair the projector, which can be regarded as practicing what he has learned, but he didn't expect to be recognized by this old dwarf.

A new configuration –

The other dwarves gasped when they heard Arquette's words, in this era of rapid alchemy, various magic configurations emerged one after another. However, in terms of the crystal framework, the opposite is true, the empire is dominant, and the major alchemy workshops of Kaulin-Ishurian have not designed a new configuration that works for many years.

Even the Kingfisher Workshop, which specializes in the design of the magic furnace and the crystal frame, has only tinkered with the Kingfisher frame for many years.

"Arquette, what nonsense are you talking about, what new configuration?" The white-bearded dwarf was even more anxious, he and Arquette were both alchemists of the Elpahim Artisans' Guild, and both of them happened to be involved in the crystal frame. "What the hell is going on?"

Arquette ignored him, straightened up, straightened his robe and beard, and then stretched out his right hand to Fang Yuan: "Reacquaint, boy, I am Arquette Greybeard, a fourth-level craftsman, vice president of the Elpahin Craftsman Association, and the head of the crystal department." ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect that this short, fat, ordinary-looking old dwarf would be the vice president of one of the three major departments of the Craftsman Association.

The alchemists of the Artisan Guild are divided into several departments according to their division of labor, but there are only three of them that are the most powerful of them all—the most traditional Wizarding Department, the Flexible Structuring Department that manages the Battle Craftsmen, and the Crystal Department, which is responsible for the design of the crystal framework. These three departments are either the most employed, the strongest, or the most important functions, and have always ranked first among all departments.

If you really want to talk about it, it must be the traditional big brother of the Magic Guidance Department, after all, there are the largest number of people. However, the Flexible Structuring Department, which manages the Battle Craftsmen, is also subordinate to the Crystal Department - after all, although the former is powerful, it is not prosperous, and it can be said that it is only higher than the Fairy Department, which is famous for its big cats and kittens.

The crystal department is responsible for the structure of the crystal at the core of the magic guide, which can be said to be the cornerstone of alchemy in this era.

The former is popularization, while the latter is the core area.

In fact, with the exception of a few regions, in almost every country in Aitalia, the distribution of artisan associations and their personnel is almost the same.

Fang Yu cautiously shook the other party's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little cautious. The fourth-level craftsman is the great alchemist, and one step further is the master craftsman, this is a living legend, this old dwarf may be the first master-level aboriginal he has ever seen in this world - of course, the kind of person who has seen him from afar does not count.

For example, Princess Brian.

It's just that before he could raise his admiration, the white-bearded dwarf next to him came up and squeezed it, pushing the vice president of the dignified Elpahin Artisan Guild to the ground. "Don't listen to this old boy's nonsense, little one, tell me what your so-called new design configuration is all about?"

"Damn it, what are you talking about!" Annoyed, Arquette rushed up and scuffled with the whitebearded dwarf.

The other dwarves were not interested in the crystal frame, and they all ran over to fiddle with the projector, and no one cared about the two old dwarves who were scuffling together. Fang Yu hurriedly parted them in a cold sweat.

"I didn't invent that, Mr. Arquette." He replied truthfully.

Arquette's eyes lit up: "Ancient technology? ”

Fang Yu nodded.

"You're in luck!" Arquette exclaimed.

Alchemy flourished at the end of the Noumerin Elven Empire, with the emergence of many talented alchemists, including the alchemist Eddard, and many design ideas that have influenced this day - but in the process of Esselin's demise, much of this ancient alchemical heritage was inevitably lost with the departure of the Noumerin Elves.

These techniques are still being discovered to this day, some of them relatively old, but some of them are also amazing to the alchemists of this era.

It would not be easy to find the legacy of the Noumerin Empire, let alone get the useful part of it, which is why Arquette would say that Fang Yu was lucky.

But the whitebeard dwarf was not concerned about this problem, he was pressed to the ground by Arquette, and said breathlessly: "Wait a minute, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing, can you tell me first?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, as the inheritance of Hain Sail, he also did not think that he was worthy of the broom to cherish himself. Not to mention that this technology is not very great, it is just the simplest part of the design of a crystal design.

He recounted the idea of repairing the projector, and the eyes of the two old dwarves lit up. "Genius thoughts!" Arquette sighed, "No wonder I can't fix this thing, so we can bypass this extra accessory - wait a minute!" ”

The old dwarf suddenly screamed, startling both of them.

Arquette didn't know it, and said excitedly and loudly: "Old man, in this way, isn't that design idea of yours feasible?" ”

The white-bearded dwarf also widened his eyes. "Lotas is on top," he cried out, his face flushed, "you're right, Arquette, my battle elf is saved!" ”

Fang Yu was still curious about what the battle elf was, when he saw Arquette pull the white-bearded dwarf from the ground and said to him, "This is Merifin, Mervifin-Steeleyebrow, my best friend, the vice president of the Fabrication Department. ”

Fang Yu looked at Merifin in surprise, the construction department, isn't that the department of the combat craftsman? Speaking of which, he can only say that he knows a little about the crystal structure through the manuscripts of Hain-Sailm, but in reality, he is a combat craftsman.

At this time, Arquette turned around and yelled at his friend, "Merifin, why don't you hurry up and get your drawings out!" ”

"Wait a minute," said Mervifin, agitated, but much calmer than Arquette, as he got up and straightened his long white beard. "It's not that question now, before I care about my battle elves, let me ask, little one, have you applied for registration?"

"What is the application for registration?"

"It's just to apply for a patent, didn't you invent this thing?"

"Rotas is on top, are you stupid?" Arquette said in a rough voice: "He just said that he is just a trainee alchemist, how can he apply for a patent for any Rausch?" ”

"Wait!" Suddenly, he screamed again, like thunder.

Fang Owl was almost accustomed to Arquette's startling, but was still startled by the old dwarf's voice. The dwarf stared at the Plover with wide eyes. "You said you weren't registered yet? No, no, no, this is outrageous, how can you say so casually about a technology that has not yet been patented? ”

He covered his friend's mouth: "Merifin, keep it a secret!" ”

The whitebearded dwarf blew his beard and glared angrily, and pulled his hand away: "Shut up, Arquette, of course I do." But now our top priority is to make this kid an official craftsman as soon as possible, and then go through the patent registration formalities! ”

"You're right," Arquette exclaimed, clapping his hands with his hands, "and we'll do it!" As he spoke, he turned around: "Guys, guys, what about you, what are you doing?" ”

The other dwarves were gathering around the projector, and they all looked excited, and discussed in a gossipy manner:

"How can this be?"

"Rotas is on top, is Elpahim out of a chance?"

"These abominable Gutas!"

"Is it true that we, Ihurian, have to endure the ridicule of these barbarians this year?"

"Wait, what are you doing?" Arquette was about to scold, but when he walked in and took a look, he swallowed the second half of his sentence alive. It turned into a frightened and angry question: "What's going on?" ”

"Mistakes? Hmph, I knew those little bunnies couldn't be trusted! ”

"And what about the people of Otalos, what, they haven't arrived yet?"

"The Guta people don't give us time, bullshit, these barbarians don't follow the rules!"

In just a moment, Arquette was a standard dwarven spectator, mingling with the others, gathering around the projector, waving his fists and yelling in anger.

Fang Yu watched this scene dumbfounded. Fortunately, Merifin on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and dragged this guy out, and it was only then that the other dwarves finally noticed the square plover here.

So they remembered who had repaired their projector, and they all thanked Fang Yu a little embarrassed. Several dwarven craftsmen also discounted tickets and said to Fang Yu - a skill like him does not need any assessment at all, and he can directly become a formal craftsman.

"Wait a minute!" At this time, Arquette seemed to suddenly think of something, he stretched out his hand to stop the words of the others, and said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about, what are you directly becoming a formal craftsman, where do you put the craftsman in the general assembly?" ”

He blinked his eyes, looked at Fang Yu and said, "Little guy, did you say anything before?" ”

"Huh? What did I say? Fang Yu was puzzled.

"At the earliest."

"Repair crystals for you? I did. ”

"No, no, no," Arquette shook his head, "sooner." ”

Fang Yu frowned and thought about it carefully for a while, before he finally remembered that it was not his intention, and he replied, "I said that I am a trainee alchemist registered in Kapka, and I hope to complete the official craftsman assessment here?" ”

After he said this, he suddenly felt that his surroundings suddenly fell silent.

All the dwarves were looking at him with a very strange look, and they all let out a cry, "Oh-"

Fang Yu looked at these fellows a little inexplicably, if he was not convinced that he had entered the Elpahim Artisans Association, he almost wondered if he had come to a cult ritual.

These dwarves are casting spells around them.

"Do you have a brooch that can prove your origin?" Arquette asked, his eyes rolling as if he were spinning his mind.

It's a pity that Fang Yuan's mind is full of the stereotypical impression that dwarves are a simple and stubborn race, and he nodded subconsciously: "Of course there is." He also took the brooch out of his pocket and hung it on his chest.

Arquette saw that the brooch was shining in front of him, and he hurriedly waved his hand to a companion not far away: "Quick, what are you still doing, go get a number plate for our future excellent official craftsman Mr." ”

The dwarf exchanged a mysterious glance with Arquette, and ran to it, pulling out a silver metal sign from a drawer, with the name of Kapka's place and a number.

Fang Yu got the brand, and he was a little strange: "Is this an assessment certificate, why do I remember that it shouldn't be black?" ”

"Kapka's sign is black, but this is Al Pahin." Arquette replied as a matter of course. Merriffin on the side seemed to want to say something, but was covered by the former.

"Keep it a secret!" Arquette exclaimed.

Fang Yu looked at the two strange old dwarfs, and couldn't help but check the number plate in his hand suspiciously, but he didn't see anything wrong with it.

By this time, Arquette had already beckoned and shouted behind the counter: "Jenny, Jenny, come out, your work is here!" ”

I saw a little girl wearing an apron with unkempt hair and some thin running out from behind in a panic. While wiping his saliva, he shouted, "It's coming, Mr. Arquette, I didn't sleep!" ”

"Lazy girl, who cares about you—" Arquette gave her a blank look. "Take this ......," he said, looking at Fang Yuan.

"Ed." Fang Yu replied.

"Take this Mr. Ed to room 5144."

"Room 5144?" Although the little girl was sleepy-eyed, her brain was not broken, and she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that ......?" ”

Arquette coughed heavily: "I know it's Kapka's room, this gentleman is from Kapka, don't believe you look at his brooch." ”

The little girl rubbed her eyes.

looked at Fang Yu curiously, until he saw the latter's brooch clearly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Ah, you guys are here, why are you alone?" ”

Fang Yu was still a little surprised, he didn't seem to be a big person, how could it be as if these people knew that they would come. He couldn't help but think of the boss of Traveler's Rest, or Wu Di, and it seemed that there were only a few leading people he knew here.

Could it be that they did it?

At the same time, he replied, "My friend is outside." ”

The little girl had already seen the tall lion and Paparal swaying on the counter, and although it was a little strange that these Kapka alchemists were really unique, she nodded: "Ah, I see, Mr. Eddard—and your companions, please come with me." ”

"Are they going too?" Fang looked at the lionman in bewilderment, who was filling his pipe.

"Of course." The little girl replied, looking at Fang Yu with a somewhat pitiful look, and thought—isn't this a matter of course?

This player from Kapka, although he looks quite pleasing to the eye, seems to have a bit of a problem with his brain.
