Chapter 218: Exchanging with each other
readx;
So far, within the Mage Guild, there are 3,582 members with official alchemist qualifications. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Among them, there are 2,300 low-level alchemists, 1,158 middle-level alchemists, and only 124 high-level alchemists. And among them, there are only fifteen people who can really make magic props. Because according to the division of the Mage Guild, any alchemist apprentice can become a regular alchemist as long as he can master the most basic methods and principles and can carry out alchemy conversion work. And after that, as they master the ability of alchemy creations and alchemy items, their level will increase. And those who can make magic items are already the top people above the top. It's like Astraea, if she's just a high-level alchemist, it's just a rarity. But she can also make a little bit of magical items, which is the main reason why she is valued.
And now, standing in front of these mages, this beautiful maid lady, with just one sentence, denied the identity of more than 3,450 alchemists in the association, and mercilessly knocked them all back to the level of alchemy apprentices............ For these mages, they felt that their jaws were already a little sore, numb, and even a little dislocated. It's only been half a day, and they've already heard and seen a lot of things that are completely beyond their imagination, and even subvert their common sense. Of course, they also had some doubts that the maid lady was deliberately despising herself. But they can see that the other party really thinks so. So, this makes these mages more cautious.
"So......... Miss, do you mean that you are a qualified alchemist who can make magical items?"
Most people hadn't reacted yet, but at this moment, the girl at the beginning opened her mouth to ask. Unlike before, at this moment, her eyes flashed with a burning and challenging enthusiasm. The girl stepped out of the crowd and looked up at Charlotte, her petite body erect as if she was fighting against something.
"Astraya ........."
The mage beside the girl stared at her and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Although this girl usually behaves like an ordinary child, she is a little timid and afraid of life, but she is very naΓ―ve. And she is also a little cowardly, but in the field of alchemy, she has quite strong self-esteem and persistence, and does not allow others to blaspheme at all. And now, although there was no disrespect in the maid's words, her "natural" tone had already made Astraya burn with confrontation.
It's just a kid after all...... The female mage took a probe and gestured to stop her colleague who was trying to pull the girl back, anyway, she knew that with Astraya's temper, she must be asking for an explanation on this.
"That's true, that's right. β
Although she didn't know what the girl in front of her was thinking, Charlotte's expression was still gentle and natural.
"Well, I think you should know that an alchemist who can make magic items can also repair magic items. β
"Of course, little sister?"
Charlotte smiled and narrowed her eyes, but from her eyes, a trace of an inexplicable strange smile flashed.
"So ............"
With that, Astraya took a deep breath, then reached into her arms and pulled out a ring.
"Excuse me, can you fix it?"
"Rings?"
Charlotte carefully looked at the props that the girl had taken out, and then politely held out a hand.
"Can you show me?"
"Of course. β
The girl raised an eyebrow, then placed the ring on Charlotte's hand, and Charlotte picked up the ring, looked at it in the sunlight for a moment, and then nodded.
"No problem, can it be repaired? Do you want to fix it now?"
Hearing Charlotte's answer, many mages were no longer surprised, because at this moment, they had already reached the verge of some kind of collapse, just like when people were frostbitten by the cold, they would no longer feel pain but numbness, and now the mages felt as if their brains had been completely shocked by all this and lost the ability to think, and for the right moment, this maid lady actually dared to be here, without any props, and directly dared to ask if they wanted to repair the magic props, they had no way to think and realize what this meantγ
Holy grace is above, this is a magic item!
Even the girl didn't react for a while, but she quickly nodded heavily and spoke a little angrily.
"Yes, I think it's going to be fixed now. β
"Well, wait a minute. β
Charlotte was still so laid-back, as if she was making tea for everyone instead of tinkering with magic items. I saw her standing on the street like that, and then her right hand stretched outβββ everyone only saw her slender fingers stretch out, and a small silver needle suddenly appeared in the girl's hand. Then, Charlotte took the silver needle and began to move her hand quickly on the surface of the gem of the magic ring.
"What is she doing?"
"I don't know......... Can this be fixed too?"
"I guess it's not going to break it. β
Alchemy is a compulsory course for mages, so even if the mages here are not as advanced as Astraya, they still know some basic common sense. After all, repairing a magic item is a very delicate job, first figuring out how the magic item works, then carefully disassembling it, and then starting to explore and repair it. And what is this maid doing now? None of them knows.
The mages didn't understand, but that didn't mean Astraya didn't understand either, and by this time, her eyes were completely wide open, staring at the throbbing fingers, lest she miss any of them. As a promising high-level alchemist, Astraya had already recognized that the maid sister was using the legendary technique of "jumping needles".
The so-called skip needle is a magic item repair method created for the purpose of repairing it in the shortest time, and their core concept is to skip the damaged part and reconstruct a new connection, so that the magic item can play a role again. This repair technique is similar to the accelerated charge of the previous swordsmen, and is a skill that is produced in that kind of high-intensity combat. After all, in the chaotic times, many alchemists also had to go to war, and in that case, once their alchemy items were damaged, they had to be repaired immediately, otherwise they would probably have to worry about their names. That's why repair techniques like skip needles were created. Otherwise, if those alchemists were to go to the battlefield with a large number of sophisticated repair tools, they might die of exhaustion before they could finish off the enemy.
However, it is a pity that after the end of the chaotic era, the Alchemist Association was also greatly damaged, and finally they even simply merged into the Mage Association, and in the subsequent fusion period, there were many disputes and troubles, which caused a lot of information to be lost, and many alchemists left, making this skill gradually lost.
However, this maid sister is so powerful.
What surprised Astraya was not only that Charlotte would use this legendary technique, but also that she did not have the slightest stagnation in the process of repairing.
After all, Astraya is also a genius alchemist, although she has not seen the intelligence information of the jumping needle, but according to the description, this little genius has comprehended the core of some skills, and this requires the holder to be extremely proficient in the basic knowledge of alchemy, the magic circle and all aspects must be extremely proficient in order to be able to complete. Otherwise, any bit of failure will lead to real scrap.
Of course, Astraya didn't know that the person standing in front of him was the real genius of the Alchemy World of King's Landing. In the chaotic era, that terrible and exaggerated period, where there were as many strong as dogs, Charlotte firmly occupied the throne as the first genius of the association, and her strength was naturally not comparable to the alchemists in the decline period. It can even be said that the gap between the two is simply ants and elephants, which have lost the meaning of comparison.
However, the next scene made everyone's eyes widen in surprise, and even their eyeballs almost jumped out of it. For the mages saw that after a moment of carving, Charlotte stopped, and then she tilted her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and then she lifted the ring and slammed it against βββ wall beside her.
"Smack. β
The voice is not loud, but almost everyone feels that it seems to be echoing in their hearts, the grace is above, this is not repairing things, this is destroying things, right?
While everyone was thinking, Charlotte had already turned around at this moment, gently wiped the dust off the ring with a smile, and then handed it back.
"It's fixed. β
"Fix .........?"
Astraya took the ring in a daze, the expression on her face was strange, or the girl didn't know what she had to make at all, and Charlotte's methods had completely surpassed the craziest dreams she could imagine. Divine grace reigns, shouldn't alchemy be a delicate and demanding discipline?
However, although she didn't believe it, the girl still held the ring with both hands, and then injected magic power into itβββ bright red gem surface, and immediately appeared circles of red halos, which spread out in an instant, and enveloped the girl in it at the same time.
"Ah, it's really fixed!"
The girl cried out in surprise, and at this moment, a happy and excited smile appeared on her face, and she looked at the ring in her hand with joy, and then muttered to herself.
"I really didn't expect it, I really didn't think about it, I really didn't think ......"
Then the girl tightened her grip on the ring, looked up, and looked at Charlotte once more, this time with a mage like Charlotte.
"Thank you, big sister, I'm sorry for what happened before, I'm sorry......... I didn't mean to ........."
After saying this, the girl looked up, and then, she immediately showed a bright and bright smile.
"However, I really didn't expect to be here, seeing that legendary skill! Big sister, you must be a very powerful alchemist!"
"I am indeed an alchemist, and this used to be my profession. β
At the mention of this, a trace of sadness flashed on Charlotte's face, but soon, she recovered again.
"Look at you, you're also an alchemist?"
"Yes, my name is Lololina Totlia Melulins von Astraia, and I am an alchemist. β
The girl replied happily, and then she looked at Charlotte curiously.
"Excuse me, Miss Maid, can I take you as a teacher?"
Then the girl made a shocking statement.
And at this moment, in the reception room of Twilight Castle, Dades's expression was not much better.
"Mr. Yuren. β
He put down the silver spoon in his hand, and at the same time took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat beads on his face, and then said with a wry smile with a strange expression.
"Frankly, as a mage, I've been involved in diplomacy for decades, and I've watched several mage towers be built. But I have to say that this is the first time I have heard your advice. β
"There's a first time for everything, isn't there?"
Yuren's expression was very innocent, and he raised his hand and tapped it lightly on the table.
"The Mage Guild is responsible for providing us with building materials, and we're going to give you a Mage Tower, I don't think it's a difficult job. β
"But it's unique, I may ask, is that why?"
"The reason is simple, this is the City of the Immortal, I don't plan to change the pattern here, and I think you also understand that the construction of a mage tower will involve all aspects, and the current situation outside is unstable, I don't plan to build a lot of construction in the city, causing unnecessary trouble. β
"But, Mr. Yuren, I have to say that building the Mage Tower is a very delicate task, and although I don't think the motivation of these civilians under your command is a big problem, it ........."
"No, I think you're mistaken, Mr. Dades. I have no intention of providing jobs to my people. Well, I can make it clear to you...... As long as the Mage Guild can provide the building materials, it will only take me a day to give you a Mage Tower, of course, I can't tell you what I am going to do due to confidentiality obligations and needs. But I can assure you that this tower ........."
Saying this, Yu Lian paused, and after carefully recalling the mage towers in the bits and source controllers, he gave a clear answer.
"It's definitely not worse than your mage's headquarters. β
"This ............"
"Of course, you still have to do it yourself, but I think it's pretty good to be a good condition. What do you say?"
β............ Since Mr. Yulian has already said this, then I have nothing to object to. β
Seeing that Yulian had already made a decision, Dades no longer insisted, after all, this was just a trivial matter, and there was nothing to worry about. Before, he thought that Yulian was planning to let his subordinates do the work, so he raised objections. But now, Yulian actually told him in front of him that he could give them a mage tower that was no less than the headquarters of the Mage Guild in one day, which aroused Dades's curiosity, and he only agreed to it, in large part because he also wanted to see with his own eyes how to build a mage tower in one day.
But that's what comes next.
"As for these raw materials............"
Speaking of this, Dades's eyes fell back to the paper in front of him again, this time, he was really helpless.
"Frankly, Mr. Yuren, it's really hard to find all these ingredients for you, although there will definitely be them in the association, but there are definitely not so many of them, and besides, I have to go through the report of the president of the association and ............"
"It's what my brother wants. β
"Just give Daddy what he wants. β
The twin sisters interjected at this point.
"We've decided. β
"We've agreed. β
"Isn't that okay?"
"Or have the rules changed?"
"No, no, no, of course, of course, what you say, two teachers, of course. β
Dades hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's just......... Frankly, this is also the inventory of the Mage Guild for so many years...... It's a bit ......... to say that it's not distressing."
"Rest assured, Master Dades, I also know that my request is a bit excessive in this regard, so I also have a bill for compensation. β
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Dades looked at Yuren curiously.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yuren, what do you mean ............?"
"If your guild can give us enough magic materials, then in exchange, we will give your guild an equal ......... Knowledge. β
"Knowledge?"
Hearing this, Dades was a little dazed, and didn't seem to understand what Yuren meant. There are a lot of knowledge and books stored in the Mage Association, and even many countries together do not have as many Mage Guilds, and now, how could this Knight Leader make such a request? Or does he have some hidden trump card?
"Yes. β
You Lian crossed his hands, and the smile on his face was unusually proud.
"It's about magic and alchemy during the Age of Chaos, and if you need it, we can educate the mages of the Mage Guild on this......... I don't know what do you think of this exchange?
Before Yulian could finish his words, Dades stood up with a "whew", his face changed slightly, and he looked at Yulian seriously and solemnly.
"Mr. Yuren, what you said is true?"
Then, with some trembling words, Dades asked.
