Chapter 240: Alchemist Level Test (I)
Nia followed the staff to the second floor of the Alchemist Guild. Compared to downstairs, it was like entering another dimension, and the noise downstairs suddenly disappeared, and Nia thought that this should have enchanted the effect of a soundproof barrier on the wall.
Walking out of the stairs, Nia and the others came to the hall of the Alchemist Association in the true sense. At this time, there were not many people in the hall, more than a dozen people were busy with their own things, as if they heard footsteps, some of them raised their heads, and after glancing over Nia and another child, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, and then they lowered their heads again.
With Nia and the others, the staff walked straight to a woman who was about forty years old, and then bowed and said, "Morrison Alchemist, there are two people who want to participate in the alchemist level certification, please take them over." ”
Hearing someone call herself, the middle-aged woman named Morrison stopped what she was doing and raised her head, and after seeing Nia and the two, Morrison's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "Is such a young guy going to participate in the certification again, young people in recent years are really amazing." ”
"Come on, how can those once-in-a-century geniuses let you meet every time." An alchemist sitting next to him smiled, "You also know that since Luo Lian's little pervert passed the test, how many ambitious little guys want to make a splash, but even the simplest entry-level test, there are only one percent who can successfully pass it, Morrison, you better wait for these two little guys to pass the test before sighing." ”
"If you say this, even if you are an adult, there are less than forty percent of those who can pass the most basic test, and in the end, there are only a handful of people who can complete the primary and ordinary level potions and become official alchemists."
"Lorien?" I didn't expect to hear Lorien's name from here, and Nia whispered it in surprise.
"Luo Lian Alchemist is known as the most likely alchemist to break through the master level and make king-level potions in a hundred years, along with Norton Alchemist, and it is said that she was able to make expert-level potions when she first participated in the alchemist level test at the age of fifteen, which caused a sensation in the alchemist world at that time." Hearing Nia's question, he thought that Nia didn't know about Luo Lian's deeds, and the little boy standing next to Nia said with some excitement.
"Not only in terms of alchemy, but it is said that Lorianne's magic is also very powerful, and she is about the same age as us, and that adult is my idol." After saying it in one breath, the little boy's breathing became a little unsteady because he spoke too quickly, and it seemed that Luo Lian's deeds had indeed affected him a lot.
"The little guy knows a lot about alchemy, what's your name?" Looking in the direction of the little boy, Morrison smiled kindly. She believed that if the other party's talent was not too bad, as long as she could stick to this love, this little guy would at least become an expert-level alchemist.
"My name is Scott, Morrison Alchemist." The little boy named Scott replied respectfully.
"Don't stand here, you two come with me, and I'll take you to the testing place." Motioning for the two to follow, Morrison took the lead in one direction.
Along the way, Morrison explained some information about the alchemist to Nia and the others.
"The levels of alchemy potions can be divided into beginner, beginner, ordinary, skilled, expert, expert, master, and so on according to the materials used and the effects achieved. Alchemists are the opposite, and alchemists who can only refine beginner and elementary potions are called alchemist apprentices; An alchemist who can make ordinary and proficient-level potions can officially be called an alchemist; Alchemists who can make expert-level and expert-level potions are called alchemists, but they are also generally called alchemists; As for the alchemists who can make master or higher quality potions......"
"He is revered as a master of alchemy!" With a look of longing on his face, the little boy Scott replied in a hurry.
"That's right, an alchemist who can make a master-level potion is respected as a master alchemist in the alchemist world. As for the more advanced potions, we have only found them in some ancient ruins, but no one has been able to decipher how they were made. Speaking of this, Morrison's tone carried a little regret.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the place where the test was conducted. Opening the door, in the spacious room, rows of shelves nearly two meters high are placed in it, the shelves are divided into five layers, and each layer is neatly placed with various alchemy materials, and some precious alchemy materials that Nia has never seen are also among them.
"Wow, is this the material storage room of the Alchemist Guild?" As soon as he entered the door, the little boy Scott's little head began to shake around, and the huge amount of alchemy potions simply dazzled him.
At first, Nia was also suspicious of this, but when she found out that there were five or six alchemy materials for both high-grade potions and entry-level potions, she guessed that this was probably the place where registration tests were carried out.
Sure enough, with a hint of pride on his face, Morrison explained to the two of them, "This is not a storage room, the real storage room is much bigger than this, this is just a small room for materials, and it is also a place for you to test. ”
"As you can see, these shelves are filled with alchemy materials for almost all common alchemy potions, from entry-level to master-level, and all you need is to make an alchemy potion in an hour, and the quality of the alchemy potion represents the test rating you have received this time. However, it should be noted that if all three consecutive alchemy potions fail to be made, it will be regarded as a failure in the assessment, and no re-assessment will be allowed within one year of the failed assessment. ”
His tone softened slightly, and Morrison pointed to the shelf in front of him and said, "But you don't have to be too nervous, just play your original strength." ”
Looking at the heights of Nia and the others, Morrison added, "If you have materials that you can't reach, you can use those little ladders leaning against the wall. ”
"Now, then, the clock begins." Not knowing where to pull out a palm-sized hourglass, Morrison announced the start of testing.
Seeing that Nia and the others were groping along the shelves in front of each other, the corners of Morrison's mouth rose slightly. Although this test may seem simple, it is by no means easy to do.
First of all, new alchemists need to find what they need from a large number of alchemy materials, as most alchemists have health recovery potions or mana recovery potions, which are especially hidden in the various potions.
Secondly, there is a small trap hidden in the assessment. Even if the materials are found, if they take too long to find them or if they can't complete the refining of the potion quickly, the new alchemists won't even have time to fail the third craft.
If you don't think about the present every time you refine it, but instead hope that the next time it will succeed, the alchemists will lose the motivation to move forward, which is a famous quote from a well-known alchemist in the alchemist world.
However, seeing that the two of them were able to enter the state so quickly, Morrison knew that it was no surprise that both of them were able to pass the assessment of entry-level alchemists.
But soon, Morrison spotted an unusual situation.
