Chapter 12: Beast Gold

At noon the next day, Merge was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

When the sleepy-eyed Merge opened the door with a frown, he saw a gray-bearded old man in a shabby red robe standing outside the door, raising his hand to knock on the door.

The length of the old man's dark gray beard is almost equal to that of his upper body, which also makes the old man's appearance rather strange. The old man's face was ruddy and shiny, and his face was pale. At this moment, he was squinting at Merge with bright little eyes and looking at Merge with curiosity.

"Repair, or refining?"

The old man with the gray beard woke up Murge, who was visibly irritable. Last night, refining the fire demon battle armor, it wasn't until late in the morning that Murge was able to sleep, and at this moment, he was woken up by the gray-bearded old man, and the frowning eyebrows of the physically and mentally exhausted Merge were not relaxed.

"Repair, repair. The gray-bearded old man saw Merger's impatient expression, but he didn't care, and smiled as he stroked his gray beard, which was about to grow to his waist.

The old man with the gray beard did not recognize his life when he entered the house, but found a wooden chair in the house and sat on it. It looked like I was back in my own home.

The old man sat down, took out an ancient silver pipe from his waist, and handed it to Merge. Merge took the pipe, glanced at the red-robed old man sitting in the chair, and ignored the old man's question. In his heart, he was full of resentment and slandered: Such an old person still wears a riotous red robe, which is really old and improper.

The old man with the gray beard handed the pipe to Merge and sniffed around, "This is ...... The smell of the six-star lava horned serpent?"

However, this old man's nose is really smart. Before going to bed last night, Merge had carefully handled the workbench, and the magic crystal of the lava horned snake had been embedded in the fire demon battle armor, and the fire demon battle armor had also been put into the cotton wooden box, but the old man still smelled the smell of the lava horned snake.

You know, cotton wood is a very special wood. Cotton wood not only has a maintenance effect on metal items, but also the wooden box made of cotton wood also has a good seal. At the same time, cotton wood is also very cost-effective, so most alchemists like to seal alchemical items with cotton wood.

And Merge, who was slandering the gray-bearded old man in his belly, immediately withdrew his gaze from the gray-bearded old man's red robe after rubbing the pipe in his hand a few times, and looked intently at the silver pipe in his hand.

"Beast gold?"

"It's indeed beast gold. ”

Seeing that Merge only rubbed his pipe a few times in his hand, he immediately guessed the material of the pipe, and the gray-bearded old man showed an appreciative look on his face, and nodded to Merge's inquiring gaze.

After receiving confirmation from the pipe's owner, Merge lowered his head and looked at the old silver pipe again.

This old silver pipe was much larger than a regular pipe, but not as long as a penny. Thinking that he was the owner of the pipe, he specially asked the alchemist to customize it according to his own wishes.

The overall color of the antique silver pipe is dark silver, and the surface of the pipe has very obvious traces of long-term rubbing, which makes the pipe look extremely simple. The overall curve of the pipe is well undulating, and it looks quite charming. This alchemist who refines pipes can not only combine beauty with practicality, but also add esoteric alchemy principles and alchemy circles to it.

It seems that the alchemy level of this alchemist must not be low.

The entire body of the pipe is made of beast gold, and Merge can tell at a glance that this pipe is made from a single piece of beast gold.

You must know that the common beast gold on the market is only the size of soybeans, and this kind of beast gold the size of a child's arm is extremely rare and expensive. Merge pursed his lips, but he didn't expect this old man who looked a little old and not serious to be a gold owner.

Beast gold, as the name suggests, is a metal related to Warcraft. This metal, called beast gold, is found in the stomachs of a few magical beasts.

When Warcraft devours humans, they tend to devour people within a few bites. At the same time, this also causes Warcraft to often swallow the metal armor or other metal objects worn by humans.

Most of the metal will be ablated by the strong acid gastric juice in the monster's stomach after being swallowed by the monster. Normally, metals that cannot be digested by Warcraft will be excluded from Warcraft. However, the metal that was swallowed into the stomach by the demonic beast also had a small chance of remaining in the demonic beast's stomach, and could not be completely dissolved, nor could it be expelled by the demonic beast.

After this very rare thing happens, the metal left in the stomach of the monster will be washed away by the strong acid gastric juice in the stomach of the monster day and night. Like stones, after accumulating for a certain period of time, the essence of the metal left in the stomach of the monster undergoes an undirected change, and it deteriorates into a new type of unknown metal with a tough texture and a smooth feel.

The name of this metal is called beast gold.

There are many types of beast gold, and the color and nature of each beast gold found by humans are different. However, as an unknown metal synthesized in the stomach acid of a demonic beast, the texture and feel of beast gold are extremely similar. Therefore, the metals found in the stomach of the monster are also collectively referred to as beast gold.

The texture and quality of the beast gold depends on the strength of the demonic beast itself that brews the beast gold. The higher the grade of the beast gold found in the belly of the demonic beast, the higher the texture, the higher the price.

At first glance, the formation of beast gold is somewhat similar to that of pearls. It's just that beast gold is a rare treasure in the eyes of alchemists, and pearls are just a common jewelry. Therefore, there is a difference between the price of beast gold and pearls.

Although beast gold is expensive, it has different values and meanings for people of different identities.

In the eyes of nobles and other people with status and status, beast gold is a luxury used to play and show their status; in the eyes of hunters and adventurers, beast gold is a rare and valuable sought-after commodity; in the eyes of alchemists such as Merge, beast gold is a high-quality metal with very high research value.

The beast gold used in this ancient silver pipe in Merge's hand, whether it is texture, size, or feel, is the best existence of all the beast gold he has come into contact with.

Merge rubbed the ancient silver pipe in his hand with some love, but his eyes were once again drawn to the intricate magic circle inside the pipe.

Merge walked briskly over to the workbench and turned on the alchemy lamp. Looking at the piles of soot stains that had accumulated inside the pipe, Merge frowned slightly, and took out a clear glue and injected it into the pipe.

This glue is called dragon elephant gum, which is a transparent colloid secreted by the dragon elephant tree.

Because dragon elephant glue has high adhesion to most substances other than metal, and its properties are repulsive to metal, resulting in dragon elephant glue will not stick to the metal surface at all, dragon elephant glue is often used by alchemists as a cleaning item to clean up the internal debris and dust of alchemical items.

The dragon elephant glue injected into the pipe by Merge cleans up the ash deposited in the pipe, but there is no trace of dragon elephant glue sticking to the inside of the pipe. Merge disposed of the viscous dragon elephant glue, which had turned from transparent to swarthy black, and then concentrated on studying the magic circle inside the pipe.

The inside of the pipe is occupied by a criss-crossing magic circle and alchemy circuits, and the dense Mithril lines look a little dazzling, but full of mystery, which deeply attracts Merge's attention.

Merge could see at a glance that the complex circle inside the pipe was a high-level alchemy circle, maybe even higher. But because Merge had not been in contact with it, some alchemists used such a high-level alchemy circle on the pipe, so they were also confused about the level of the alchemy circle in the pipe.

The alchemy circle inside the pipe is much higher than Merge in terms of alchemy, but this is also what Merge is excited about. Every alchemy circle that was higher than Merge's cognition was a treasure of great value to him, and the alchemy circle in the pipe had deeply attracted his attention.

When the old man with the grey beard saw Merger's question, he ignored him, and began to study the old silver pipe intently. The old man didn't care about this, but was a little happy.

The gray-bearded old man squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, but he didn't see the wrong person, this kid is a piece of material.

The old man pulled out an ordinary wooden pipe from his somewhat old red robe. Take out some tobacco mixed with spices and put it into the bowl of the pipe, and when the old fingers touch the tobacco, wisps of green smoke immediately rise on the tobacco, wisps of white smoke are swirling, and the aroma is permeated.

The old man took a deep puff of the cigarette holder, and the tobacco in the bowl instantly turned red.

The gray-bearded old man spat out a cloud of white smoke from his mouth, and in an instant, the alchemy hut was filled with smoke.
