Chapter 175 - Access to Information (I)
What should the face of the Alchemist's Guild say...... There is a bit of vulgarity in the nobility!
As if to show everyone their wealth, all the places are decorated with gilt, it is true that you are rich as an alchemist, and mercury is also a relatively common everyday material, but if you brush so much, will it really not poison those who come near or come in?
Xiao Yi repeatedly begged in his heart whether to wear a gas mask or take a little antidote to prevent it, and then someone came out to receive him. Huo Ran?Wen ??? ??? .ranen`org
The concierge reception post day and night had not yet added a few points to the 'score sheet' of the Alchemist Guild in Xiao Yi's heart, and he was bombarded into slag by this person's attitude.
Xiao Yi was naturally too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly sent Master Leonard's name post, because last time in the 'Treasure Pavilion' store, Master Leonard gave Xiao Yi a private post, so the last time he was invited to open, he also went to the master's house, and the result was an invitation received by the housekeeper on his behalf, Xiao Yi did not really deal with the Alchemist's Guild, and the initial impression was not very good this time.
Although he understands that a large industry or institution sometimes does not have much choice in the decoration of the façade, this 'vulgar' style may be recognized as a class culture or identity, and being maverick in this environment is not the best choice, after all, people are not like he used to do everything alone, and Xiao Yi himself is now opening a restaurant with the popular elements and styles in mind.
If you really want to take out his original shop rules of No. 1654, it is definitely a kind of death behavior under the premise of operating ordinary goods, although he doesn't care about making money, but after all, he is trying to fit in with the group now!
But he absolutely can't agree with the attitude of this reception concierge, although any one of the major professional guilds who is a handyman may be an apprentice who is studying professionally, but this does not mean that you can be arrogant, because from the etiquette point of view, the real nobility is a spiritual superiority and not just material, and the nobility of the spiritual level should be humble and polite in the treatment of people at different levels. is neither humble nor arrogant, like the middle-aged man who is now the concierge found out that Xiao Yi is likely to be the guest of the elder of his guild, and the former and backward conference has lowered Xiao Yi's impression of the entire guild.
And from another point of view, the often said 'master in the folk' actually not only has the wisdom of the city but also means that if you are arrogant and conceited, a little careless, you may offend the real power, the story and legend of the work of the master who has just entered the world because of the provocation by the passer-by A or soldier C and killed in a rage, blood spattered on the spot is naturally a lot, there are no eyes to know the embarrassing scene of gold and jade is not uncommon, and the final result is a little hard to learn a little or not to know the guilt of the person depends entirely on your attitude.
The alchemist guild has a big business and a noble status, and it stands to reason that when the sun is in full swing, it should be prepared for danger in times of peace, if the embankment of a thousand miles is really destroyed by some small things, the gains outweigh the losses, of course, this is not something that Xiao Yi needs to worry about.
As the porter returned with a smiling face, it seemed that he had been confirmed by Master Leonard, and Xiao Yi followed him in, but along the way, some people looked at him and saluted, and there were some subtle fingers in private, which made Xiao Yi a little confused in his heart, but then it was clear.
The life of an alchemist is relatively boring, not to mention that he came to visit Master Leonard, even if an outsider comes in, a group of apprentices who are bored here all day long can gossip for a long time, not to mention that a young face like him can be received by the guild elder, and naturally there are countless points of interest that make people curious and deduce.
All the way to the reception room of the Alchemist's Guild, the interior decoration naturally does not need to be repeated, and Master Leonard is sitting on the seat with a smile waiting for Xiao Yi's arrival.
"Temporary disturbance, Master Lao is bothered, the kid is here to thank you first!" stepped forward and arched his hand, Xiao Yi said hello.
"Where, according to your skills, you are also a person who can discuss with me, and I wonder when you will come, what is there to disturb or not!" replied Master Leonard with a smile.
Looking at the leader who retreated with a stunned expression, obviously surprised by the content of Master Leonard's words, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that his name will inevitably spread in the guild tonight, if it weren't for the necessity, he really didn't want to be so ostentatious.
It is conceivable that under the three of them, his affairs will be rumored here in many versions.
"This time I walked with Your Majesty, I heard that you have made a lot of contributions, it is the duty of my generation to contribute to the country, but it is also a glory, that is, as a subject of the empire and as an alchemist, you are good!"
Leonard's praise made Xiao Yi a little embarrassed, after all, he had his own small purpose in this trip, and he would never have any swaying and self-blame for his style of acting in front of others, but the old man in front of him was different, he really had a public heart with great feelings, and all the unruly and maverick should be ashamed in front of the real great virtue.
So although Xiao Yi has his own adherence and principles when he asks himself, he still has to be modest and rigorous in front of this old man, and after receiving Leonard's praise, Xiao Yi bowed his head very formally and then sat down opposite Leonard.
"My tea is not as delicious as the one in your store, even if the price is reasonable, I won't let you, I will do it yourself!" Leonard's attitude was very easy-going, and Xiao Yi was naturally happy to relax.
Although Xiao Yi deliberately avoided the matter of the Pampas, Leonard took the initiative to mention that in view of the performance of the Pampas this time to discredit the image of the guild, he made a decision to send the Pampas who returned to the guild to the branch in a remote territory as a punishment, Xiao Yi only said that he knew and did not explain much, because first, this is the Alchemist's guild's own family matter, he is not sorry to ask, and secondly, he does not think that he has done anything wrong in the treatment of the pampas, and it is even more nonsense to say that the other party is because he has suffered, so he has nothing to be sorry about.
When talking about the intention of this time and explaining the auction that the Shining Gold and Clover Chamber of Commerce was going to hold, Leonard said that he knew, but he bluntly said that he might not be able to help Xiao Yi in this regard, but it made Xiao Yi feel stunned, and then it became clear that Master Leonard was afraid that he had misunderstood what he meant! )
