Chapter 11: The Alchemy Guild

The environment of the burning iron castle can be described as harsh, which is already polite.

Not only are the streets dirty, but the air is filled with smoke and stench.

The scorching waves of air gushed out from the chimney with black smoke billowing in the distance from time to time, choking Tang Ze and Sun Xiaoke coughing again and again.

"It's annoying! Why did you choose such a ghost place in so many places of trial, and it was dirty! Sun Xiaoke's complaints were endless, and Tang Ze was already automatically immune.

"Don't go! I'm going back now, I shouldn't have let you take me to level up if I knew it was like this! ”

"Do you hear that? Fuck off! I'll tell you to stop and send me back! ”

Sun Xiaoke's brutal temperament began to attack, and the quarrel made Tang Ze's ears hurt.

"Shut up, Sun Xiaoke! Let me tell you, once you choose the place of trial in the game, there is no way to turn back, so you now have two choices: one, continue to follow me, I will take you to upgrade to level 20, and then you choose to stay after you change jobs. ”

"Second, let's separate now, and find a way to do the task ourselves in the future."

Tang Ze was so noisy that he couldn't stand it, stopped, turned around and said angrily.

"You...... You're actually murdering me!? Sun Xiaoke squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes, and his beautiful face was pear-bearing with rain, looking pitiful.

"Stop crying, keep following me. After you change jobs, I'll send you to the main city, if you want to leave here early, just be good! Looking at Sun Xiaoke's pitiful appearance, Tang Ze couldn't bear it, but he still couldn't help but want to comfort him.

"Okay." Sun Xiaoke whispered.

Seeing that Sun Xiaoke was no longer noisy, Tang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, if he continued to pretend to be ruthless, he would probably not be able to hold on to revealing his stuffing.

When Tang Ze turned around, a trace of resentment appeared in Sun Xiaoke's eyes, and the corners of his mouth even sneered with disdain, this kind of vicious expression appeared on her youthful and lovely face, full of contradictions.

Of course, Tang Ze was unaware of all this, and he was concentrating on the map of the city of the Burning Iron Castle.

The Burning Iron Fort is built in the gap between two large mountains, and the terrain is complex, with occasional violent mountain winds.

If you do not return to the walls of the Burning Iron Keep before the mountain wind blows, you will take 20 drops of blood per second.

Coupled with the lack of resources and the harsh environment, there are very few players who choose to burn the Iron Castle, and it would be a miracle if you could meet two or three players in the city to form a team.

Occasionally, one or two figures appeared on the street, and they were all NPCs absenteeism or something, Tang Ze didn't waste too much time on the street, and took Sun Xiaoke straight to the door of the Alchemy Guild in the central city of the Burning Iron Castle.

The entire Alchemy Guild was like a huge iron-smelting factory, and you could feel the scorching breath inside before you even stepped inside.

The five towering chimneys are the most conspicuous buildings of the Burning Iron Castle, and the gray smoke is like a substance, slowly rising from the huge choles of the chimneys and merging into the Iron Curtain-like sky.

Walking into the guild hall, Tang Ze found that the inside of the hall was even cooler than the air outside, and in the middle of the hall was the guidance place of the Alchemy Guild and the place where the task was handed over.

Finally here, Tang Ze saw three other players, although the number was not large, but at least he saw other living people except Sun Xiaoke.

When the three of them saw Tang Ze, their eyes were surprised, obviously it was the first time they had seen other players in the Burning Iron Castle.

After the two sides looked at each other, the other party took the lead and generously took the initiative to introduce themselves.

Tang Ze also politely introduced himself and Sun Xiaoke, but in order to protect privacy, Tang Ze did not take the initiative to invite the other party to add friends.

Tang Ze didn't want his bronze crown to be exposed too early, at least before he changed jobs, Tang Ze didn't want others to know about the existence of this equipment.

However, the captain of the opposing team sent a warm invitation to Tang Ze and Sun Xiaoke, but unfortunately Tang Ze refused.

Their team took on a team task, and although the reward was quite rich, it was not attractive to Tang Ze, so it was better to take the task by himself and end up free.

After the other party left, Sun Xiaoke was unhappy, although he didn't say anything, but the unhappy emotions were all on his face.

There is no way, the captain is indeed very handsome, and he speaks politely, and he discharges Sun Xiaoke from time to time.

For a young girl like Sun Xiaoke, this kind of trick is the most useful, and before she could say a few words, little stars began to pop up in her eyes.

If Tang Ze didn't refuse, it is estimated that Sun Xiaoke would have left with others.

The short episode passed quickly, and Tang Ze ignored the sullen Sun Xiaoke and came to the counter of the Alchemy Guild alone.

"I'm going to claim a mission from the guild." Tang Ze said as he looked at the smiling female NPC behind the counter.

"Okay, please draw the task bamboo stick in the barrel."

Looking in the direction of the NPC's finger, a delicately crafted dark barrel sits next to the counter, with a hole in the top lid that can pass through a hand.

Putting his hand in, Tang Ze closed his eyes and began to meditate in his heart Amida Buddha, Amen Jesus, Allah Allah blessing and the like.

His hand groped clockwise in the barrel twice, grabbed a bamboo skewer and slowly pulled it out.

Bite!

"Alchemy Guild A-level quest - collect the five elements element, do players accept the quest?"

Tang Ze's eyes lit up, the rewards of A-level tasks are second only to hidden tasks, although they will not reward any special items for superb equipment, but the experience and gold rewards are still very rich.

After accepting the task, Tang Ze can view the overall information of the task in the task panel.

"For the guild's senior forging master Qiu Ming, collect the five elements element."

"Earth elemental, 0/10

Fire elemental, 0/10

Water element, 0/10

Wood element, 0/10

Elemental Gold, 0/10"

Under the mission information, there is also a map with the distribution of five elements to assist players in completing the task.

The specific reward is not clear, but Tang Ze is very optimistic about this character, the more complex the task, the higher the difficulty of completing it, and the richer the reward he will get in the end.

The most important thing is that Tang Ze's own luck attribute is very high, so basically there is no need to worry about the task reward being too bad.

Standing at the door of the guild, Sun Xiaoke, who had been keeping a distance from Tang Ze, saw a smile on Tang Ze's face, and subconsciously came over, holding his head to find out.

It's a pity that before his head was stretched out, the bamboo stick in Tang Ze's hand turned into a little fluorescence and disappeared.

"See what I do? In the past, you used to draw tasks by yourself, and hurry up to level up. Tang Ze glanced back, Sun Xiaoke shrank back as a thief, but was pulled back by Tang Ze.

Sun Xiaoke drew the task quite quickly, and as soon as his hand reached into the barrel, he pulled out a bamboo stick.

However, it was still a personal task, and Tang Ze had no way to help Sun Xiaoke.

"Alchemy Guild's C-level task - hone your mind. Lighting a fire in the workshop stove for two hours. ”

Sun Xiaoke drew the least difficult task, and at the same time, the most boring task. After Sun Xiaoke saw the details of the task, his face changed.

"Tang Ze, will the two of us exchange tasks? This task is so boring! Sun Xiaoke pleaded coquettishly.

"Nonsense! If you want to get out of here early, just do the task obediently! Complete the quest and wait for me at the gate of the Alchemy Guild! Tang Ze stopped him, and then looked at Sun Xiaoke coldly, and sure enough, Sun Xiaoke quieted down and stopped messing around.

The more he came into contact with Sun Xiaoke, the more Tang Ze understood how to get along with her, and if he had a tough attitude on certain things, Sun Xiaoke would compromise.

After placing Sun Xiaoke, Tang Ze left the Alchemy Guild and bought five bottles of low-grade gold sore medicine and five bottles of low-grade qi tonifying pills at the pharmacy.

The Burning Iron Keep is scarce in resources, especially medicinal herbs, which not only costs much more than other Trials, but also limits the number of purchases that players can buy.

Each player can only buy five bottles of low-level gold sore medicine and qi tonifying pills a day, in fact, Tang Ze has very little demand for qi replenishing pills, but now there is an extra mage NPC in the contract space, so he has to take precautions in advance.

After making supplies, Tang Ze walked out of the Burning Iron Castle City in high spirits, and without Sun Xiaoke's oil bottle, Tang Ze instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

Since the Burning Iron Fort is located between the valleys, you can feel the moisture rushing in your face as soon as you step out of the city walls.

The air was very humid, and after a few minutes of walking on the mountain road, the hair began to stick together, and it felt a little uncomfortable on the forehead.

Every few dozen yards, Tang Ze opened the mission map to check the general location direction, which was not like the open terrain of Buye Village, and the speed of travel was fast.

If you take the wrong path outside the Burning Iron Castle, it will take a lot of time to get around, and the dangerous terrain has become one of the factors that discourage many players from choosing this place.

After stumbling for ten minutes, Tang Ze finally saw a steep cliff from afar, under which there were many palace ruins, and the mossy stones showed the decay of the ancient years.

"The Dwarven King's Ruins have finally arrived!" Tang Ze glanced back at the winding mountain road behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.
