Chapter 30: First Encounter with the Alchemist
The weather in Habin City is like a demon, for several days, the heavy rain is like a sword of Damocles hanging over Habin City, mercilessly slapping the ground, the urban area issued a red alert, warning citizens not to go out except for necessary daily necessities, so as not to have an accident.
Jiang Yang took out the flame bag from his backpack, held it in his hand, and could still feel a trace of warmth, and at the same time, the flames inside had subsided a lot, he had been trying to find an alchemist, but he had searched for a lot of news on the Internet in the past few days, but he couldn't find it.
I specially asked the Qingyu Alliance, and the reply I received was: "There are no alchemists stationed in this branch. Jiang Yang didn't expect that alchemists would be so rare in Hubin City, helpless, Jiang Yang sat on the edge of the bed, remembering that there was still someone to find, maybe Wang Mengtian knew the news.
"Didi. A voice came from the phone.
"Brother Jiang, do you have anything to do with me? Wang Mengtian has even changed his name now, and he can hear the pleasant tone in his voice.
"Brother Wang, there is something I want to trouble you, do you know the alchemist, I have something to do with the alchemist. Jiang Yang also took advantage of the trend and affectionately called him Brother Wang.
"Alchemist, this is not easy to find in Habin City, but I really know a person, that is, this person has a very strange temper, whether you succeed in finding him or not, it depends on Brother Jiang himself, I will send you the address." "Wang Mengtian is very polite, and there is no arrogance at all.
Jiang Yang hung up the phone after thanking him, and soon an email came, text message: No. 6077, Building 5, Qingshan Road East Street. After glancing at it, he wrote down the address, found a feather coat at the branch of the Qingyu Alliance, put it on, and set off.
The taxi sped all the way, cutting a gap in the middle of the rain curtain, and the rain on the ground splashed between the two wheels, and soon, Jiang Yang came to the East Street of Qingshan Road. Jiang Yang got off the bus, and Zhiyu formed a barrier around Jiang Yang, and East Street was a group of abandoned houses.
The rusty iron sign tells the history, mixed with the rain washing over and over again, but it still can't wash the stain, "Here are three, and five should be behind." "Jiang Yang followed the order, and it was very convenient to find five buildings, which are an old-fashioned storey, not high, only 8 floors, and there is no elevator installed.
If you want to go upstairs, you have to climb up from the cement stairs, this place is gloomy, really, Jiang Yang involuntarily opened the protective layer, there are a lot of rusty patches here, who knows if it will suddenly fly up and stab his eyebrows.
"Knock knock. From inside the door, there was a pungent smell, and he couldn't tell if it was sulfuric acid or some kind of gas, Jiang Yang waited for a moment.
"Bang Dang" The chain in the rusty lock turned, and there was a harsh sound, and an old man stuck his head out of it, with thin cheeks and empty eyes, and his hands were on the door frame, only bones remained, and asked in a low and gloomy voice, "Who are you looking for?"
This old man cooperates with this environment, it is still pouring rain outside, Jiang Yang unconsciously goosebumps rise, isn't this a scene in a horror movie, are the alchemists all like this, no wonder the number of people is scarce.
Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment, and said in a tentative tone, "I was introduced by Wang Mengtian's son, and I asked an alchemist to refine things." ”
"Hahahaha," the old man let out a heart-wrenching laugh, which made Jiang Yang shake all over his body, and his spiritual power and Zhiyu's spiritual power began to intertwine, lest he make any moves.
Wang Mengtian was right, this temper was not an ordinary strange, Jiang Yang couldn't figure it out, the old man opened the iron door, Jiang Yang took a look inside, good guy, it was all gooseneck bottles and alcohol lamps, as well as some colorful liquids, and some scrap metal was piled up in the corner.
"Is this really an alchemist? not a liar. Jiang Yang muttered in his heart.
He followed the old man in, a hundred-square-meter house, and all the walls separating the rooms were opened. The old man cleaned up the place, vacated a piece of land, and then asked Jiang Yang: "What are you doing with me?"
"Senior, don't blame me for being abrupt, I obtained the flame bag from the Nine Shadow Leopard King a few days ago, and I want to ask an alchemist to help me refine a large-range explosive weapon. Jiang Yang took out a flame bag the size of a ping-pong ball from his pocket.
The old man reached out and took the flame bag, looked at it, and smacked his tongue and said, "Superior flame bag, if this thing is used to make the core of an explosive weapon, it will be powerful enough to raze these houses to the ground." With that, the old man took out a cyan drink from one place and poured a cup for Jiang Yang.
A strong pungent smell came, and when I smelled it, my stomach immediately turned over and over, and I forcibly endured the nausea.
"This is what I refined from those rare metals, good things, big supplements, not often, hehe. The old man smiled, and Jiang Yang was instantly terrified, in order to avoid this embarrassing situation.
"Senior, what is this thing?" Jiang Yang asked, focusing on a compass-like body, holding it in his hand. I saw that the compass kept shaking, and even if it was placed on a flat surface, it did not stop.
The old man glanced at it, his eyes were red with excitement in an instant, and he snatched the compass, and said something in his mouth: "Baby, baby, my baby." Jiang Yang was embarrassed.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes sharpened, and he leaned his head over and said mysteriously, "Do you know what this thing is? It's a good thing, he can detect a thing, this kind of thing can 。。。。。。 Ah!!!!! my head hurts so much!"
Jiang Yang wanted to go up to help him, but was pushed away, don't look at this skinny, but the strength is not small, the old man struggled on the ground for a while, raised his head and said faintly: "Do you know, someone wants to kill me, and they won't let me go after they know this compass." His greasy hair obscured his face, and his sloppy beard reflected his scruffiness.
I don't know what to do. After the old man calmed down, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and with trembling hands, he handed the compass to Jiang Yang and said, "Take it, my condition is that you take it, as long as you take it, I will give you this flame bag." ”
"Senior, don't you want to think about other conditions? Just let me take advantage of you with this thing. Jiang Yang persuaded.
"Go, go, go now, three days later, I will put my things in the old mailbox on East Street, you go and get them yourself, don't come to me again, something is going to come out, something is going to come out of the sea with that breath, you see this pouring rain, it looks like it, it doesn't look like the scene of hell depicted by the sage. ”
Without waiting for him to speak, the old man blasted him out, the iron door creaked shut, Jiang Yang was confused, is this an alchemist who also works part-time as a fortune teller, what is going to come out, what kind of breath. The compass in Jiang Yang's hand is small and exquisite, but it is not a compass, and the pointer is loose.
"What a thing. "I scolded and scolded, but I still put it in my purse very sensibly. Left Qingshan Road East Street.
Time flies, three days later.
Jiang Yang was still wearing a raincoat, appeared on Qingshan Road East Street, an old mailbox, filled with rainwater, Jiang Yang opened, the water poured down, there was a small red ball inside, the old man did not lie to himself, the thing was still delivered.
In the past few days, Jiang Yang has learned a lot of information about alchemy weapons, and in order for alchemy weapons to work, users must inject the spiritual power of jade into them as an introduction, and then the alchemy weapons can play a role.
This red ball is much smaller than the flame bag originally handed over to the old man, you can feel that in fact, a lot of metal mixture is added to it, and it is a little warm, even if it is placed in the middle of the statement, the temperature has not decreased in the slightest, Jiang Yang is satisfied with the small ball.
As for this old man, Jiang Yang didn't go up to see him again, this little broken needle, Jiang Yang directly put it away in an inconspicuous place in his backpack, and didn't take it seriously.
"Hey, Zhou Yang, where are you? Jiang Yang asked.
"Jiang Yang, Han Yue and I are here at Zhongtian International Department Store, do you want to come over?" Zhou Yang said, hearing people coming and going, and the noisy sound continued.
"No, I'd better go back to my room and rest, but I remind you, don't go near the beach now, I guess the flood drainage system in Habin City is approaching its limit, and there is more and more water in the city, so be careful." Jiang Yang entrusted.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of that. Jiang Yang hung up the phone.
Back in the room, Jiang Yang took out the small broken watch, and found that the original chaotic pointer had become much smaller.
