As one of the most ore merchants in Nilogaard, Morbius's residence is rather shabby.

The carriage drove all the way to the wharf, and finally stopped at the entrance of a large wooden warehouse near the wharf.

After getting out of the carriage, Rosen looked at the broken wooden door in front of the warehouse full of insect holes, couldn't help scratching his head, and turned his head to ask Veronica beside him: "Morbius, you live in such a broken warehouse all year round?" ”

Even if the warehouse is broken, the surrounding environment is still very poor, the road is full of black mud, the mud is mixed with pigs, dogs, human feces, rotten vegetable leaves, dead fish, and the air is wafting with all kinds of indescribable stench, especially the fishy smell is the strongest. Because of the proximity to the dock, the horn of the dock workers and the bell of the anchor ring frequently, it is interesting to listen to for a while, but it is noise after listening to it for a long time.

Veronica shrugged, "Morbius is a weirdo. ”

She walked to the door, reached out and knocked on the broken plank, and shouted, "Morbius, are you there?" Talking back? ”

After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was a response from inside the door: "Here, the door is locked, you two come in." ”

Veronica pushed the door hard, and the rotten wooden door made a 'squeak~' sound, and then slammed into the wooden wall, making a loud 'clang' sound.

"Tap, don't break my wooden door!" The roar of Morbius followed.

With his voice, in the dark and damp warehouse, a figure in a black cloak walked out quickly, it was Mobius, he saw Rosen, and obviously froze: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Can't you sense me? Why are you so surprised? Lawson looked each other up and down, and saw that the cloak he was wearing was the same one he had worn before, because there were dozens of very obvious holes in the cloak.

Mobius noticed Rosen's gaze and waved his hand angrily: "Don't look at it, my cloak has been abolished by you!" ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the depths of the warehouse, waving his hand as he motioned for the two to follow.

After taking a few steps, he spoke: "I was able to sense you before because you took Mithril and your body changed into an undead with a lot of movement, but now, you and I are both undead, have you sensed me?" ”

"Nope." Lawson shook his head.

"That's right. I can't sense you either. ”

While talking, the three of them walked to the depths of the warehouse, in broad daylight, the light here was very dim, and in order to illuminate, Morbius specially lit an oil lamp.

By the dim light of the oil lamp, Rosen saw a large number of wooden boxes around him, and the boxes were piled up with all kinds of ores, some of which were piled up sharply, and some of which were only half full. Next to the oil lamp was a large, flat wooden table with dozens of glass bottles on it, and a blacksmith's furnace glowing faintly red.

Rosen activated the power of alchemy, probed a little, and found that the glass bottle contained various chemicals, and some solidified metal residue remained in the crucible of the blacksmith's furnace.

"Morbius, you're also engaged in alchemy?" Rosen asked.

Morbius took off the hood of his cloak to reveal a round, shiny bald head. Hearing Rosen's question, he rolled his eyes angrily: "What, if you are allowed to do it, I can't do it?" ”

Rosen shook his head again and again: "No, no, it's just that you don't seem to have alchemy magic, right?" ”

Morbius became more and more angry, and his heart hurt after being despised said: "What, it's great to have alchemy magic?" I don't have magic, can't I still make iron and steel? I didn't purify a lot of metals? ”

Rosen hurriedly apologized: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to laugh at you." ”

didn't think about it, but Morbius broke out directly, and he yelled at Rosen with a red face: "Mocking? What right do you have to laugh at me? Just your ridiculous alchemy magic? I tell you, I have hundreds of years of experience in alchemy, and perhaps the masters of the Nilogaard Academy can laugh at me, but you are not qualified! ”

Rosen was stunned, what did this guy do, did he take gunpowder today? Can this still be a good talk?

Seeing this, Veronica on the side stepped forward to play a round game: "Morbius, are you despised by a certain alchemy master in the academy again today?" ”

"Whew~Whew~" Morbius gasped a few times and sat down on a tattered chair, and the chair suddenly 'creak~creak~' made a chaotic sound, and it felt like it was about to fall apart.

After a pause, he pulled his face and said, "It's not Parkland's kid yet!" I sent him some tin ore today, and it happened that I encountered a problem with alchemy, and I wanted to ask him for advice, but the kid actually said that I am not engaged in alchemy, so that I should not toss around, so as not to hurt my body! This bunny! When I was doing alchemy, he was still in his mother's womb before he was born! ”

As he spoke, Morbius became excited again, dancing as if he had been greatly insulted.

"Okay, okay, it's not the first time you've been ridiculed by those masters. It's over. Veronica reached out and pressed down, and continued, "Don't lose your temper, Rosen is here to buy a mine from you." Business is coming to the door, what are you talking about, don't do business soon! ”

Morbius was a little jealous of Veronica, seeing that she was impatient, although he was still extremely unhappy in his heart, he had to suppress it, he turned his head to look at Rosen: "Alchemy boy, say it, what do you want to buy." ”

Rosen stood in front of a large box, tossing a light red, glassy stone up and down in his hand: "I'm going to buy these things." ”

Morbius was stunned for a moment: "This is dark silver ore, can you refine dark silver?" ”

"Dark Silver?" Rosen was also stunned, he chose aluminum ore, how could it become dark silver?

He immediately reacted that the luster of metal aluminum and silver is very similar, the difference is that pure aluminum is much lighter than silver, and the luster is darker than silver, which is said to be dark silver.

As for refining, the piece of aluminum ore in his hand is also called diasporite monohydrate, the main component is hydrated alumina, and it is not difficult to extract metallic aluminum, as long as it is electrolytic.

Wait, Lawson suddenly woke up, the understanding of electricity in this era is very limited, and it is difficult to obtain high temperatures, and it must be quite difficult to refine aluminum.

Rosen put the so-called 'Dark Silver Ore' back into the wooden box and asked, "Is Dark Silver expensive?" ”

Mobius sighed with emotion: "Expensive! One Nilo pound of dark silver can be sold for 100 gold dragon coins. The Academy's master alchemists are particularly fond of using dark silver. They mixed some other metals in the dark silver, and the alloy they made was harder than steel, not rusty, and very light, which was a very good thing. ”

Rosen smacked his tongue when he listened, not only because of the price of aluminum, but also because of the alchemist's use of aluminum, isn't this the aluminum alloy on the earth?

'Magical talent is a huge boost to technology. From a purely technical point of view, the Academy of Magic seems to have mastered a lot of technology that is ahead of its time. Rosen sighed in his heart. He felt that he needed to learn more about the development of magic.

But from whom to learn about it? A few words immediately popped up: 'Squirrel Society, Apprentice Magician Hill.' ’

'Looks like I'll have to talk to the apprentice magician when I have time.' ’

After making up his mind, Rosen said, "How much is a nilo pound of such dark silver ore?" ”

"The ore is not expensive, there is more of this ore, if you want it, 100 grams a pound will be given to you." Morbius's attitude suddenly became very attentive.

"100 grams? It's really not expensive, I'll buy 20 pounds first. ”

100 grams is equivalent to 75 silver luntes, which is very cheap for the current Lawson.

After he was done, he walked to the front of another ore box, which was full of black stones, and he took it out and looked at it carefully, and was overjoyed: "Ah, this is biotite!" How much does it cost? ”

"This stuff is everywhere, and ordinary people buy it for decoration at home, usually 10 grams to a nilo pound. If you ask for it, I'll give you 7 grams and 1 nilo pound. ”

Rosen waved his hand: "Cheap, I'll buy 100 pounds first." ”

Morbius was stunned when he heard this: "Why do you buy so many useless things...... Wait, have you found this stone useful? Did you find something? ”

Rosen waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I just look good." ”

Morbius is not easy to deceive: "You fart!" ”

He rushed to the ore box with an arrow, stretched out his hand, snatched the biotite in Lawson's hand, and then sat on the ore box with his butt, and protected all the biotite tightly: "Let's talk about a deal, you tell me the use of biotite, and I will give you this box of ore for free!" ”

Rosen smirked: "What if I don't say it?" ”

"Then I'm not going to do your business today. Biotite is not for sale, and dark silver ore is not for sale either! "Morbius is a scoundrel.

Rosen couldn't laugh or cry, he thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big secret, it's okay to tell you." However, the price of just sending a box of ore is too low. ”

"That's easy to say!" Mobius immediately jumped down from the ore box, he pointed to the ore full of warehouses, and said generously: "You can pick any of my ores, and you can take whichever one you like." Regardless of the breed, I'll allow you to take 30 nilo pounds! ”

"Really?" Rosen was overjoyed.

"It's true!" Morbius swears.

"Well, that's a deal."

Rosen began to look around the warehouse.

I have to say that Morbius, an ore merchant, is very professional, and he collects a very complete range of ores, and he has all the common ores here, and there are quite a few of them. He can also find a lot of those rare ores here.

After turning around, Rosen finally stopped in front of a wooden box, which contained half a box of iron-black, scaly, slightly metallic stones.

"I want this, all of it." Lawson pointed to the ore box, his expression was faint, and he couldn't see what was in his heart.

Morbius stepped forward, looked at the wooden box, and wondered: "You don't want so many good things, you want this cheap magnetite?" ”

This kind of magnetite, the magnetism is very weak, basically the poor people who are reluctant to spend money buy it as magnetite suction needle and thread, and the cheap one can't be cheaper.

Rosen listened, glanced at Morbius out of the corner of his eye, a trace of pity flashed in his heart, and he nodded lightly: "Yes." I've been working on magnets lately. I found that the magnetism of magnets seems to be the same force as thunder and lightning. So, I need a lot of magnetite to study this magnetic force. ”

"Oh~" Mobius did not doubt him: "To be honest, the thunder and lightning cage you created really impressed me. The price for which your moon wand sells is eye-popping. Well, there aren't many of these magnetites, only 40 nilo pounds in total, so if you like them, take them all. ”

"Thank you so much." Rosen smiled slightly, and said, "After I go back, I will start refining the strange metals in dark silver and biotite, if you have time, you can come to my alchemy room to watch." ”

Morbius was stunned: "Spectators? Aren't you afraid that I'll see through your secret? ”

"You can see through it, and it's your ability."

Morbius didn't have any reason to disagree, and immediately said, "That's okay." I'm free now, so let's go. ”
