CHAPTER XXXV

The Fallen Alchemist

————————————

......

【Blue Rock Castle Market】

People come and go from shop to shop.

Among them, the busiest are the herb merchants, and the uninterrupted flow of customers keeps even the smallest herb shops busy.

Secondly, there is the equipment store, where the number of customers is relatively scarce.

It's in a normal gear shop in the southeast corner of the market...... A boy of fifteen or sixteen stood by the fire in front of the shop.

Watch the molten iron burning in the furnace slowly boil.

A shirtless middle-aged man beside the stove took a sip of the flask from a pillar next to him after finishing the last bit of work at hand.

Looking at the young man outside the door, he asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it!" The young man hooked his hand towards the wine jug, the middle-aged man handed it to the young man, and the young man naturally took a sip: "I'm just a little curious, why are there so few people here?"

"There are too many people, already too many!" the middle-aged man snorted.

"I mean, I'm here to forge weapons from you!"

"Don't complain that our refining tools are not as clean as those refining medicines!"

As he spoke, he wiped the dirt on his body and sneered helplessly: "Boy, do you suspect that I am an impostor?"

When I turned around and went back to the shop, I came out again.

There is an extra black robe in his hand!

He threw the robe into the boy's arms, and the boy spread out the garment and looked at it.

On the black robe, a white thread depicted a hammer and a sword crossed.

This image is the symbol of the alchemist......

This dress is also one of the symbols of the identity of the first-grade alchemist.

The middle-aged man had a dissatisfied look on his face: "Do you need me to show you the rest of the certificates?"

"Under Jiang Heng!"

As he spoke, Jiang Heng put a bag of gold coins on the table in front of the store: "I need you to fight a fire-attribute weapon!"

The middle-aged man directly took the gold coin bag, weighed the weight, then accepted it, and then said: "It's not difficult! If you want the fire attribute, you can leave a hole on it!"

Jiang Heng spoke again: "Then I want one more attribute?"

This requires...... The middle-aged man could only give a rhetorical question: "How is it possible?"

And Jiang Heng also asked rhetorically: "How is it impossible?"

Just when the middle-aged man was wondering if this person in front of him was here to find fault, a young man not far away followed a seven or eight-year-old child to Jiang Heng's side.

The girl spoke: "What could be impossible?"

The child on the side replied: "In addition to the difference in the grade of the weapon, there is also a difference in attributes. ”

The question was naturally Duanmu, at this moment, she had already changed out of the Qingyan suit that Jiang Heng had changed and changed into an apricot yellow shirt, most of which were bought after the gold coins obtained at the auction before the gold coins arrived in Jiang Heng's hands.

Even Jiang Liu'er had changed into new clothes, but judging from his expression, he didn't care about them.

At this moment, Duanmu was still puzzled, but she still knew some knowledge of refining weapons. She asked Jiang Liu'er on the side in an uncertain tone: "The attributes are different, is the effect also different?"

"That's right!" Jiang Liu nodded, and then added: "A weapon blessed with attributes will have many additional effects than weapons of the same level, but there are also disadvantages!

These are not secrets, or even overt knowledge. It's just that Duanmu, who has been practicing swords hard, didn't read it, but Jiang Liu'er was open to cultivation, but he was curious about many anecdotes. Therefore, Jiang Heng asked Fan Linfeng to find relevant books from the Qingyan Ancient School for Jiang Liu'er to read.

Naturally, I know a little more.

Duanmu understood a little from Jiang Liu'er's explanation.

Then he asked the middle-aged man: "If a weapon can have two attributes, but I'm afraid that my weapon attributes will be restrained, wouldn't it be good to bring two weapons with different attributes!"

The middle-aged man said approvingly: "This is the wisest thing to do!"

By the way, he was dissatisfied with Jiang Heng: "Your sister is much more transparent than you!"

Jiang Heng chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "She's my student!"

"This ......"

It's a little embarrassing!

"Anyway, I don't have the ability to get you two attribute weapons, you can go to another house!"

The middle-aged man was reluctant to take out the money bag and was about to return it to Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng waved his hand: "You don't have to make two attributes, you just need to leave me one more hole!"

[The perforation technique is an exclusive skill for refiners. Non-refiner professionals can only forge weapons, but they can't forge inlays. Holes are used to add crystal nuclei and gems to change the properties of weapons or equipment. Each class of alchemists can only forge one perforated weapon. 】

"This ......"

The middle-aged man hesitated, with a slight embarrassment in his expression: "I'm a first-grade refiner, this can only be ......"

"You shouldn't have been to the test for a long time...... Right?" Jiang Heng asked.

"The place of assessment is in the national capital, and the road is far away...... The most important thing is that I'm gone, and no one is in charge of this business!" said the middle-aged man indescribably.

"So, now you should have reached the level of a second-grade refiner!"

Jiang Heng said and took out another bag of gold coins and put it on the table: "This bag of gold coins is given for free." It's enough for you to come back to your home capital......"

"What are you ......" the middle-aged man looked at Jiang Heng puzzled.

"The refiner is not prosperous in the first line...... Jiang Heng sighed: "So, it shouldn't be buried!"

"Thanks!"

The middle-aged man accepted the gold coin: "Come back in an hour, I should be able to do it!"

Jiang Heng nodded: "Yes!"

turned around and left with Duanmu and Jiang Liu'er.

After leaving the equipment store, Duanmu, who was following Jiang Heng, secretly pointed to the green bamboo stick stuck in Jiang Heng's waist and asked Jiang Liu'er: "Little uncle...... What is the attribute of Master's stick?"

"This stick!" Jiang Liu'er said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary green bamboo!

......

As the three of them walked, they walked around the shops, instantly buying some supplies for living on the mountain, as well as other things.

Of course, there are also roadside stalls to pick up some groceries.

If you are lucky, just like Jiang Liu'er, you can find three martial arts cheats in three inconspicuous roadside stalls in a row. It's all hidden in some inconspicuous clutter..... For example, the broken blade of the sword, and the hairpin of a woman's head.

Fortunately, the old ghost found out quickly, otherwise Jiang Heng would probably prevent this little guy from continuing to break out of his good luck.

Just when the three of them walked around, ready to rest for a while in a restaurant.

Haven't entered the door yet......

The second child in the store had already arrived at the door to greet him, and said very politely: "The three of you, please, the position is ready!"

"Master, when did you decide on your position?"

Duanmu asked, Jiang Heng shook his head: "It's not me!"

"Who could that be? Do you have any friends in Bluerock City?"

"There's only one person I know in Bluerock City...... It's the second-grade alchemist you saw just now!"

"Isn't that what you just met?"

"That's right!"

Just when Jiang Heng was wondering who was so kind to entertain him, he had already walked into the restaurant, and Jiang Heng looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing next to the railing on the second floor.

Immediately I understood something.

"I think I know who it is......"
