The 'Hurricane Tavern' is a medium-sized pub in Midtown, and there is no escaping the word 'ordinary' in terms of interior and exterior.

But what is unusual is that as long as you enter it, you can see groups of people with different occupations, Fully armed or vicious or fierce adventurers, all because this is one of the strongholds of high-level adventurers, the owner of the shop is a high-ranking cadre who used to be mixed in the famous mercenary group of the whole continent, after retiring, he opened this tavern in the royal capital, there is no excellent food and wine, there are no hot dancers and hostesses, and most of the people who come to patronize are the toughest rough men, it seems that there is really nothing to attract these adventurers who are already considered strong.

Of course, if you think this way, you will be ridiculed by experienced adventurers as a 'rookie', the latest information on the distribution of forces in the wild, strong temporary partners and employment market channels, and the supply of sophisticated equipment and magical items, most of the unconventional missions that are rejected by the adventurer's guild and wandering on the edge of the law because they are too dangerous are posted here, and if you want to make a lot of money in a short period of time, this kind of 'black work' is definitely the best choice.

Compared to the Adventurers' Guild Hall, this place is more like a high-level membership club, and it is definitely wishful thinking to want to mix up here without a certain strength level, so when the weak-looking Lloyd appeared here, it attracted widespread attention!

When the curiosity of discovering the new face was consumed by the obviously very low strength of the visitor, everyone turned into no one care, but fortunately, Lloyd, who had learned some rules from Rodrigo, did not look foreign.

When he came to the bar, he put two gold coins on the table and pushed them to the guy, and then asked, "I'm looking for someone from the 'Dragon Wings'!"

The man took the gold coin but kept silent, and just as Lloyd was about to accuse him of taking the money and not doing anything, he suddenly saw him turn his head and glance at the direction from the corner of his eye, which seemed to be the signal answer to him.

Looking in that direction, there was only a table in the corner of the whole straight line, and Lloyd naturally looked for someone. Facing the few people around the table who were obviously dressed as adventurers, Lloyd took a deep breath and asked:

"You are the Dragon's Wings Adventure Group, I heard that you are going to recruit alchemists, I will apply!"

Looking at the recruitment task list that Lloyd took out, one of the stout warriors put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Lloyd with a fierce look:

"Boy, how old are you? I'm afraid you're not yet an adult! What can a stinky child have the ability to do, do you know that our Canglong is an adventure group that has reached the fifth level, not just any cat or dog can come in and intervene, if you deliberately come to entertain us, I can't spare you!"

The threatening words did not alarm Lloyd, who replied calmly:

"The recruitment task was issued by you yourself, and I also officially received the task in the recruitment area of the union, I don't know what kind of people you need and I don't know what kind of requirements you have, so I came, is there any problem?"

After saying that, he looked directly at the wide-eyed warrior, and after a long time, the warrior suddenly laughed:

"Curt, there have been a lot of people here these days, and this kid is a little interesting!"

A young man in mage costume next to him stood up in response, glared at the warrior and then stretched out his hand to Lloyd: "Hello, I'm Curt, the leader of the 'Dragonwings' adventure group, what should I call you?"

"My name is Lloyd. The answer was concise and to the point.

Curt turned around and nodded, and a slightly thin-looking man in the seat behind him got up and walked out silently.

"You are welcome to apply, it was Anderson who just spoke to you, and he likes to scare people, don't care!"

Lloyd shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't mind, and waited for the following.

"But what he said is true, the alchemist we are looking for must meet our requirements!"

"And what are your specific requirements?" Lloyd asked.

"May I ask your alchemist rank ......?"

"Currently an intermediate alchemist!"

"Haha, what are you kidding? I really got it right!Boy, I think you'd better go back, there was a craftsman before you who didn't meet the requirements!" Warrior Landson looked surprised and disdainful when he heard Lloyd's rank.

"Don't worry, I don't have to find a high-level alchemist, I'll show you this......"

After speaking, he handed over a small stone disc, and there were faint magic patterns fluctuating on it.

Lloyd took it and looked at it and said, "It's in Old Dolan, this should be something like a sealed container?"

"That's right, can you lift the alchemy seal on this, but be careful not to hurt the contents inside!" Curt asked, not seeming to show any surprise that Lloyd was able to give an answer, after all, this is something that anyone with a little magical knowledge can see, and the ancient Doran language is not a very obscure magical term.

"Is this a test of strength to join you?" Lloyd asked.

"Not all, but it's the most important consideration!"

"Alright, I'll try!" With that, Lloyd took two steps forward and sat down on the chair that Curt had set aside, pushing the food aside from him, then took out his alchemy utensils and began to fiddle with himself.

Curt, Landerson, and the others all looked at Lloyd with interest, and in their opinion, no matter what Lloyd's strength was, at least this pragmatic and unpretentious demeanor was very much to their liking.

After fiddling with Lloyd for a long time and making several attempts with reagents, he finally found the key difficulty in opening this container.

Although the seal looks very old, the magic circuit that works in it is still active, and it is always in a state of verge of bursting, which makes it difficult to maintain the balance of mana when breaking without touching the safety mechanism inside.

Once violently operated, the circuit imbalance causes the fuse module to activate the mana storage carrier inside the container, which will directly destroy the objects stored inside.

And judging from the accuracy of the operation required to crack this 'lockbox', it is definitely not something that ordinary middle and senior alchemists can master and maintain, no wonder they just said that there is a craftsman-level peer who has folded on this, and the difficulty can be seen.

But that doesn't mean he can't, because the control of stability is precisely his strength!

After verifying the strength of the above safety mechanism, Lloyd prepared a small bottle of potion on the spot, and then slowed down his breathing to adjust his mental state to the most concentrated state.

He's ready to start cracking the magic container!
