Chapter 81: It's Time to Do Something
"This is Kiki?"
Angus sat in the seat where he usually taught Ning Lang, looked at Kiki who lowered his head and pretended to be obedient, and said with a little interest: "It seems that you are very precocious." ”
When Ning Lang heard this, he just laughed dryly, a man in his 20s with a girl of six or seven years old, and said that it was father and daughter, which was indeed a problem. But fortunately, Angus doesn't have too many doubts about this, after all, this world is like this, and there are some like Ning Lang.
"Okay, Kiki will learn some basic things with you first, and then I'll put these books in your room and lay the foundation solid."
Angus sighed and pointed to a stack of books next to him and said, "I don't know if there is time to teach you, the situation has been too chaotic recently." ”
"Teacher, what's the situation going now? I heard that Antas's side seems to be a little unsupportable? ”
Ning Lang is very sensitive to this matter, Angus, as a mid-level alchemist, also has a certain authority in Vuitton Town, and can get information that many people can't get.
"The town has noticed something strange lately."
Angus whispered to Ning Lang: "There are already more than a dozen people missing—missing at home. ”
Missing people is not a big deal, especially in such a high-traffic town, there are many foreign adventurers who have a grudge with each other, and there are not a few who settle grievances in remote corners and then abandon their corpses in the wilderness.
But the townsfolk in the town seem to be too numerous, and they are still at home, which makes it even more suspicious.
You know, the number of residents in the town is actually very small, and most of them are familiar people, and there are quite a few people who move around each other. Therefore, if it is found that an acquaintance has been taken captive, there will always be some clues, but now, there is none.
Although there is also a possible surname of an outsider committing a crime, this probability is really not large. In fact, there is not much communication between the townspeople and the adventurers from outside, more places with relationships such as taverns and alchemy shops, the places where the townspeople live are far away from here, and they are still missing at home, and the people around them have not reacted at all, which is what makes Ning Lang feel that there is a problem.
What's more, so many people have disappeared from the townsfolk alone, but what about the adventurers who are even more numerous? Who knows exactly how many people have gone missing?
Now these things have made the town's only guards a mess, and dozens of soldiers are running back and forth, and the whole town is much more nervous.
"Okay, we can't control these things, it's the affairs of the security forces."
Although there are some troubles, these things are actually not too big a matter for Angus, the upcoming war is what he should care about, and he must prepare a large number of strategic reserves for the adventurers here before, so as to be able to effectively contribute to the future war.
Of course, teaching Ning Lang is also one of his current routines, and it doesn't take much time, it is more of his own consolidation.
In the past few days of Ning Lang's study, he has learned a lot of knowledge from Angus, and he has gradually understood how huge the classification in alchemy is.
Attaching inscriptions to armor, increasing a certain degree of flexibility and strength, drawing certain spells on parchment, equivalent to the effect of Ning Lang's spell scrolls, refining potions to restore injuries, increasing mana and strength, etc., are almost all one of the types of alchemy.
It's like science in the real world, and there are so many categories.
Ning Lang didn't think that a craft he wanted to learn was alchemy, it should be just a sub-category in it. After all, time is there, and it won't be such a difficult task.
What Ning Lang needs to do now is to learn relatively simple to enchant armor, and he has now been able to enchant a piece of chain mail with [weight reduction], enchanting a piece of chain mail weighing dozens of catties into only a few catties.
This is the simplest and most basic enchantment system in alchemy, but even so, Ning Lang, who has the talent of [Mental Dexterity], has failed at least dozens of times before he can complete such a work at one time.
But even so, Ning Lang was highly praised by Angus, telling him that with his speed, he was already a genius in the Empire, and he was much better than the other apprentices.
The apprentice he had once admired had failed more than a hundred times to get to such a point.
And through the side knocks, Ning Lang also learned such a thing through Old George-in the number of times he failed to make Angus lose at least four or five Jindils.
This also means that he has made a small town soldier lose a month's salary.
It's still the simplest enchantment, but what if it gets to the late game? Ning Lang couldn't imagine that after he tentatively asked Angus, his answer made Ning Lang stunned for a while.
"Back then, I wasted at least more than 10,000 Jindils to get to this point."
Angus said with a hint of memory: "If it weren't for the help of my teacher, I wouldn't have been able to get this far, but unfortunately I can only stop here as an intermediate alchemist, and I'm a little sorry for my teacher." ”
10,000 Kindirs!
It's no wonder that Angus also recruited apprentices with extremely talented and knowledgeable ones, otherwise if there was a stupid apprentice, reaching the low-level alchemist might defeat him.
Fortunately, Ning Lang showed his talent in the following period, otherwise he would not have allowed himself to move a few times in 30 days of study, and in this alchemy, which requires great proficiency, it is equivalent to only learning theoretical knowledge.
It's no wonder that when Angus first asked himself, he put talent and wealth together.
No wonder there was still the prefix "a large amount" at that time, and Ning Lang now finally understood how much this large amount referred to - self-taught alchemy is really not something that ordinary people can learn.
"Now you can enchant ten more times and see how it goes."
After today's theory lesson, Angus assigned him a task to make ten armor enchantments for him, of course, these successful enchantments will be sold as tomorrow's goods, and Ning Lang can also get a certain amount of compensation, but it is much less than the profit.
This is also natural, the upfront expenses of learning alchemy are paid by the teacher in advance, and a certain profit will naturally be required in the later stage, which is no problem.
Ning Lang nodded and began to concentrate on the task, and Qiqi next to him looked interesting, and also grabbed a book on the table and read it.
Ning Lang had already exchanged the language for herself and Qiqi before she went on the mission, so she was able to read smoothly and quickly had an experience.
This point is still seen by Ning Lang through the eyes of the little girl, what this little guy is thinking now, Ning Lang can roughly guess, for example, now that the little eyes are spinning in circles, he understands that this little guy has gained a lot.
"Dad, this thing is so simple."
When Angus went to the apprentices next to him to check on their work, Kiki poked her little head over and sighed a little sadly: "Why can't those people learn such a simple thing?" ”
Ning Lang was helpless, and took the time to rub Qiqi's head vigorously, does this little girl think that anyone has such a powerful talent? If you don't have the talent of [Mind and Dexterity], you may be even worse than them.
The enchantment of the armor was relatively simple, and Ning Lang quickly completed a pair, and with the mana igniting the lines in it, this enchanted product was completed.
It will remain weighing only a few pounds for about 3 years, until the mana in it is exhausted before it is enchanted by alchemy.
After enchanting several times in a row, Ning Lang pretended to be a little tired and began to rest.
Generally, the level of a new apprentice is not even half of his, after all, he has just learned to do this, which is very consuming, and the consumption of mana is much higher than that of those alchemists who are proficient in it.
Angus saw that Ning Lang began to rest, and also walked over and began to check his work, and then nodded with satisfaction and said very good.
"Well, tomorrow you go to the store with me, it's time to teach you some commonly used alchemy materials."
Angus asked Ning Lang to pause the production of enchantments, considering that the potion was starting to sell well, and was ready to let Ning Lang give this a try. The first thing to do is to familiarize yourself with all kinds of alchemy materials.
"Okay."
Ning Lang was a little happy, and nodded hurriedly, and Qiqi next to him nodded happily when she saw Ning Lang so happy, which made Angus can't help laughing.
"Then you go back first, review the material more, and tomorrow will depend on your performance."
Angus waved his hand after speaking, asking Ning Lang to take Kiki back.
Being taken to the alchemy shop means that Angus has begun to officially recognize Ning Lang as his disciple, and his status in the town will also rise in the future, and he will no longer be the same as ordinary adventurers.
And with this identity, he can intervene in some things in the town, and those strange things that happen suddenly, he also has a way to use others to complete.
"It is said that there are many graves dug up in the cemetery to the east."
"It is said that in the west, many human-like beasts suddenly appeared, did they come from the dark wasteland?"
"God knows why people have been missing lately and it's not safe at home anymore."
"Oh my God, the price of food has risen again recently, why can't those damn freight convoys come over!"
Ning Lang gathered some information in his hands through various means, and in here, some of the surges hidden under the peaceful life have begun to churn.
He had to do something now, or it would be the foolish thing to wait for it to happen.
