Chapter 174: Alchemist

"Whoosh".

Two rays of light flickered slightly, and then two figures appeared.

Merlin and the black-robed old man both came to a strange place, where there were also several huge statues, which were covered with dense runes, and there was a very mysterious feeling, exuding this ancient atmosphere.

"It's finally here, this is the Floating City!"

The black-robed old man looked around, then a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to Merlin.

Merlin uncovered the black robe on his head, revealing his young face, he looked around, and it could already be seen that it was a bustling town, but there were fewer people, and there were many mysterious runes around, as well as bursts of elemental fluctuations.

"Let's go, this is only the outer periphery of the Floating City, and it's lively inside. ”

The black-robed old man smiled, then acted as a guide, walked ahead, and led Merlin into the Floating City.

As the old man in the black robe said, the floating city is indeed very lively, once you enter the floating city, the noise will come into your ears, and the streets are full of people, men, women, old people and even children, people of all kinds of faces, are walking around the street at will.

Of course, these are not ordinary people, at least they are entry-level spellcasters.

And these spellcasters are very strange, some spellcasters are wrapped in some hideous and terrifying poisonous insects, fangs and claws, which is intimidating, and some spellcasters have even grown into monsters, many times more terrifying than Mage Leo.

There were all kinds of strange people, and Merlin was an eye-opener.

Merlin, led by the black-robed old man, continued to walk down the street. Suddenly. Merlin saw ahead. There was an ugly spellcaster with long brown hair, and behind him, there was a naked man.

The man only wore a leather skirt around his waist, an iron mask on his head, and silver spikes on his hands and feet, which reflected bursts of light in the sunlight. It looks very hideous and terrifying.

The masked man, with an iron chain around his neck, was pulled by the ugly spellcaster in front of him, and walked forward step by step.

Merlin frowned, he could see that the monster man with the mask on his head was obviously a living person, but now he was a monster.

The black-robed old man's face also turned a little pale, and then he said in a deep voice, "Master Merlin, don't make trouble. Those people were alchemists, and they were all madmen. Don't provoke them. ”

The black-robed old man hurriedly pulled Merlin and walked a few quick steps forward, and only then did the black-robed old man stop when the ugly spellcaster, the masked man, left.

Merlin looked at the masked "monster" man behind him, and said in a low voice, "Master Hill, what is an alchemist?"

The black-robed old man's face showed a look of solemnity, and then he sneered: "Hehe, alchemists, in fact, strictly speaking, alchemists are also spellcasters, but they are often known for their cruelty and eccentric tempers. These alchemists, the casters are not of high level, or entry-level casters, or first-level casters, etc., but they do not pay much attention to building spell models, but instead delve into alchemy, especially the application of alchemy to people. ”

"Did you see that mask monster just now? Actually, it was an ordinary person, who was captured by these alchemists, used special potions, erased his memory, and turned into a walking corpse that only obeyed those alchemists. These alchemists tried their best to test the captured ordinary people, giving them more terrifying power than beasts, and they called these walking dead 'pets'. Hehe, most of the alchemists' strength is in their 'pets', in order to pursue a strong force, these alchemists have been desperate, they are no longer orthodox spellcasters!"

In the tone of the black-robed old man, it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with these alchemists. Indeed, even Merlin immediately felt a sense of disgust in his heart after hearing the actions of these alchemists.

The so-called "pets" of these alchemists are actually ordinary people, but they cruelly turn them into "pets", and these "pets" actually had a name in Merlin's previous life, called biological weapons!

However, in Merlin's previous life, the legal system was already very perfect, and the research of "biological weapons" was strictly forbidden, because it was too appalling and too trampling on human nature, but in this world, the crazy alchemists were not subject to any constraints, and they could test their alchemy results on ordinary people as they wished.

"Let's go, these things, I'll get used to them when I see them a lot. ”

The black-robed old man shook his head slightly, he couldn't believe it when he saw alchemists so cruel for the first time, but this was the truth. In the world of spellcasters, cruelty and indifference are the themes, and most spellcasters regard themselves as superior to others and do not take ordinary people in their eyes.

Merlin took a deep breath, trying to calm the restless emotions in his heart, then turned around, followed behind the black-robed old man, and walked all the way forward.

Along the way, Merlin saw a lot of cruel alchemists, and almost all of them were followed by some "monsters", these "monsters" were the research results of the alchemists, and Merlin even felt a strong sense of danger from some "monsters".

The knowledge of these alchemists, Merlin has never seen in the Dark Spirit Domain, which also shows that the Dark Spirit Domain is a very orthodox spellcaster organization, they follow the most ancient spell caster's practice methods, pharmacy, alchemy, runes, are only auxiliary, can better help the spell caster to promote to a higher level of spell caster. Instead of putting the cart before the horse, let Rune Snow or Alchemy prevail, and pay less attention to the construction of spell models.

However, Merlin also learned from the black-robed old man that there are now fewer and fewer orthodox spellcaster organizations in the entire spellcaster world, and many spellcaster organizations have begun to gradually absorb and accept some alchemists.

After walking behind the black-robed old man for a long time, Merlin couldn't help but ask, "Master Hill, where are we going?"

Merlin has indeed gained a lot of insight when he came to Floating City this time. At least the alchemists are a cruel but growing group. He hadn't been exposed to it before. This also represents some changing trends in the entire caster world, and these alchemists may only need a short time to turn an ordinary person into a monster with outstanding combat power with special alchemy methods.

Although it was a bit cruel, it was welcomed by many spellcasters, so. More and more spellcasters are starting to think about becoming alchemists.

Merlin had seen such a cruel group as alchemists, but the main purpose of his visit to Floating City this time was to obtain some potion materials for the preparation of illusion potions and blueberry potions.

Therefore, Merlin saw that the black-robed old man didn't know where to go, so he asked.

The black-robed old man stopped and whispered to Merlin: "Master Merlin, you and I both need some potion materials, just come with me, I'll take you to find an old friend, if you have his help." In the Floating City, we can better find the potion materials we want. ”

Merlin nodded, after all, the black-robed old man had been to Floating City before. Naturally, he was more familiar with the Floating City than he was.

With that, the black-robed old man took Merlin and turned a few corners, and then walked into a green alley, and walked into a courtyard to the right.

The environment of this courtyard is quite good, it looks very quiet, in the courtyard, there is only an old man who is about the same age as the old man in the black robe, lying quietly on the chair, lazily enjoying the afternoon sun.

However, the black-robed old man and Merlin had just stepped into the courtyard, and before they approached the old man in the courtyard, a woman in red suddenly rushed out from the side.

The woman in red, with a plump figure and an indifferent expression, looked like a very beautiful woman, wearing a tight-fitting leather armor on her upper body, and her chest was raised high, making her look even more feminine.

However, the hands of the woman in red were actually sharp spikes that shimmered with coldness, her purple hair was also full of spikes like needle tips, and her petite body contained a force stronger than any beast, her eyes were dull, her pupils were dilated, and she looked very sluggish and indifferent.

This is clearly another alchemy monster!

The woman in red moved like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Merlin and the black-robed old man, her hands raised spikes that shimmered with silver light, and she obviously made an attacking appearance.

"Buton!"

The black-robed old man shouted violently, and suddenly, the old man who was lazily lying on the chair was shocked, and then, the woman in red also stopped her movements instantly, just like a puppet, staring blankly at Merlin and the black-robed old man.

"Buton, I didn't expect you to become an alchemist!"

The black-robed old man strode in front of Master Buton and looked at the woman in red who was obviously an alchemy monster, and said coldly with a hint of anger in his tone.

Mage Buton also gradually opened his eyes, and after glancing at the black-robed old man and Merlin, he said casually: "It turned out to be Hill, after so many years, you still have such a stubborn temper, you can't learn to be flexible at all, no wonder you have endured the pain of unstable spell models all your life, but I have relied on my 'Precious Thorn', obtained many resources, and finally became a first-level spellcaster!"

Master Buton glanced at the woman in red beside him and said with a proud expression.

"Thorny, hehe, that's the name of your alchemy monster? That's how you've fallen your soul, and it's against the tradition of the ancient spellcasters, you're no longer a spellcaster, you're an alchemist who has gone astray!"

The black-robed old man seemed to be very angry, and almost roared.

"Fallen souls?"

A flash of sharpness flashed in Mage Buton's eyes, and then he stood up suddenly, and said to the black-robed old man with a cold gaze: "Ciel, you are still so stubborn, as long as you can make me stronger, what method can't you use? How powerful can your so-called orthodox spellcaster be? Hehe, 'baby', go and say hello to my old friend!"

When Master Buton's voice fell, the woman in red, who was originally very quiet, immediately took a step forward, as fast as the wind, the cold spikes in her hands flashed with cold light, and then stabbed directly at the black-robed old man.
