Chapter 13: Rick's Maintenance (I)

Chapter 13: Rick Repairs

Inside the city gates, Merge was greeted by a bustling and lively scene. The tall and brilliant buildings are scattered, with eight streets and nine mo, which is really like a car flowing like a dragon.

Prosperous will be nine Qu three cities, ethereal floors of masterpieces. The cross street is lined with shops on both sides, and the streets are full of people coming and going.

Walking on the avenue wider than the merger of the three streets of Blue Ear City, there are all kinds of shops on both sides that make Merge dizzy, a variety of alchemy shops, weapon shops, potion shops, etc., and even shops selling fighting skills, fighting tricks, and magic, magic arrays, Merge has seen it.

You must know that the Dharma Classics on fighting techniques, fighting techniques, alchemists' notes, potion recipes, magic tricks, and magic arrays are very sought-after. In Blue Ear City, this kind of toon can even change the position of a faction in Blue Ear City. But these treasures, which would cause a bloody storm and make everyone loot as soon as they appeared in Blue Ear City, were now very quiet and ordinary lying in the transparent cupboards of the store.

Alleys are intertwined with shops. As Merge progressed, Merge also saw the various guilds that had been established within the Shogun. It's just that the various guilds built in Makuten City are in full swing, and the main buildings are much more majestic than those of the various guilds in Blue Ear City.

As Merge's footsteps progressed, the Star Courtyard, which had always fascinated Merge, was getting closer and closer to him at this moment, and Merge's heartbeat was beating faster and faster.

When Merge saw the Alchemists' Guild's extravagant buildings stacked with gold and silver, he was already shocked by the towering and splendid Guild buildings. And what kind of scene will the Star Courtyard, which covers almost half of the Heavenly City, look like? Every time he thinks of this, Merge's chest itches unbearably, and he can't wait to see the true face of the Star Courtyard.

Merge patted his chest, calmed his nervousness, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

However, before Merge could walk far away, he was stopped by a bucket of blue liquid that had suddenly been dumped.

Merge glanced at the thick blue liquid that had spilled in front of him, and then at the culprit's shop.

It turned out that the blue liquid was originally contained in an iron bucket placed in front of a store on the street, but because when Merge was approaching, there seemed to be a lot of shaking inside the store with the iron door closed, causing the iron bucket at the door of the store to be knocked over, and the blue liquid in the iron bucket was spilled on the ground, and at the same time, it was very coincidental to stop Merge's steps.

Merge glanced up at the alchemy repair shop called "Rick Repair", and then looked down at the blue viscous liquid flowing out of the iron bucket, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and his heart said that all the gold coins were flowing on the ground!

A blue viscous liquid sprinkled all over the ground, called condensate, is an alchemical material. As the name suggests, condensate is a liquid that is used for refrigeration and cooling. The reason why Merge said that this liquid is a gold coin is because condensate, as an alchemy material with complicated production processes, is quite expensive.

You must know that when conducting alchemy experiments, the temperature of the material often rises too fast, resulting in the alchemy material being melted and scorched at high temperature. In such cases, Merge usually uses ice magic to reduce the temperature of the alchemy material and prevent it from being destroyed by the high temperature.

Ice magic can indeed cool down, but after all, ice magic is a magic used to control the enemy, and it has a great destructive power, and the cooling effect is much more violent than that of condensate.

However, compared with ice magic, the use of relatively mild condensate to cool the alchemy materials, whether it is the cooling speed, the controllability of the cooling, the regulation of the temperature reduction, or the protective effect of the condensate on the alchemy materials, are far stronger than the cooling effect of the ice magic.

Of course, it's not that Merge doesn't want to use condensate to cope with the high temperature in the alchemy experiment, but because this kind of condensate, which costs ten gold coins for a small can, is too expensive, and how can Merge, one of the famous "Four Iron Roosters in Blue Ear City", be willing to spend a lot of gold coins to buy condensate, a very consumable and expensive material.

The condensate required to refine a piece of armor costs almost half the amount of gold it costs to sell for it. The use of condensate cooling and control during the refining process can indeed reduce the brittleness of the battle armor parts and prolong the service life of the battle armor. However, the consumption of condensate is too large, and the price is very expensive, and in general, for Merge, refining battle armor uses a large amount of condensate to cool down, which seems to be a bit more than worth the loss.

In the blink of an eye, a small half bucket of blue condensate spilled out of Merger's distress and spilled on the ground.

This small half barrel of condensate, worth thousands of gold coins, directly and automatically activated the cooling characteristics after falling to the ground, and the condensate was scrapped, which made Merge feel distressed for a while.

Stopped by the spilled condensate, Merge hurriedly lifted the bucket that had fallen to the ground to prevent more condensate from flowing to the ground.

Merge endured the cold and cold of the condensation flowing on the stone bricks, grabbed the walls of the barrel with both hands, and carefully lifted the iron bucket containing the condensate.

However, it seems that the iron drum containing the condensate is not an ordinary iron drum. Because Merge spent a lot of effort in the process of lifting up the iron bucket.

As an intermediate alchemist, Merge certainly knew that although the condensate seemed viscous, the mass was a few points lighter than the same volume of water, so even if it was a full barrel of condensate, it would not have such a heavy mass.

The iron bucket in Merge's hands is heavier than the heavy shield of the city defense, obviously, the seemingly ordinary iron bucket should be made of a metal material unknown to Merge.

Merge had just picked up the iron bucket containing the condensate when he heard a "squeak" sound, and the originally closed iron door of the alchemy repair shop called "Rick Maintenance" was pushed open.

"Oh my God, my condensate, my coins!"

Pushing the door open, a square-faced old man with a pale face, who looked to be much older than Olaire. The square-faced old man was wearing a shabby alchemist uniform, and his white hair stood up like an explosion, and there were even burnt marks on some of the white hair, which looked curly and scorched, which was caused by the failure of alchemy and the explosion of alchemy materials.

As the square-faced old man opened the metal door of the repair shop, suddenly Moge felt a little itchy skin on his arm, and reached out and scratched it twice at random.

The square-faced old man with a black and gray body opened the door and saw the condensate spilled outside the door, and instantly let out a howl like killing a pig, and looked at the scrapped condensate on the ground with tears in his eyes, his expression was very sad.

Seeing the grizzled old man's sad look, Merge did not have a trace of schadenfreude in his heart, but felt very sorry for the old man's situation at the moment.
