-107- Trapped in Nice

It is an alchemy workshop with a variety of magical materials.

You can see almost all the magic tool tables that are common on the continent here, and the bookshelves are filled with books that record alchemy and magic inscriptions.

A mage and alchemist in a magic robe are shuttling between the various workbenches, making various magic items or inscribed magic weapons, constantly busy.

In the corner of the alchemy workshop, the completed magical equipment was almost piled up into a hill.

As far as the eye can see, almost all of them are armor and weapons.

And not far from the magic equipment, on a chair covered in silk, a fat black cat was lazily leaning on a soft pillow.

It raised its head proudly, munching on the carefully prepared dried fish while lazily watching the busy mages and alchemists.

It doesn't look so happy.

Well, if it didn't have the metal collar with the inscription on its neck, and the enchanted chain attached to it next to the workbench, it probably would...... That's true.

And every now and then, an alchemist or mage comes to the locked black cat with an unfinished enchanted item and frowns to ask for advice.

Their posture is more respectful than the other, and their tone is more sincere than the other:

"Mr. Nice, how can the inscription of this type of inscription perfectly balance the reaction of the water element with the fire element?"

"Your Excellency Ness, Mithril or Adamantite, which one is more suitable as the core component of magical superconducting?"

"Lord Nice, my enchanted armor has been enchanted three times, but each time it fails, I have never been able to find the reason, can you help me see?"

On the velvet cushion, the black cat lazily changed positions.

Amber eyes swept over the various materials brought by the mages and alchemists, and the black cat said lazily:

"The reactive balance of the water and fire elements? Tsk, your inscription has to be reconciled with the flower liquid of the Demon Blocking Flower, and you still want to balance if you don't reconcile? Hey, it's nice not to explode! ”

"Mithril? Adamantite? You've read too many third-rate alchemy books and magic books on weekdays, right? ”

"Stupid! Just know to die and read! Although Mithril and Adamantite can be used as the main materials of magical superconducting components, that is on the premise that the item already has a stable magical superconductivity, but look at what you are enchanting? It's a steel sword made of not very pure material! In this case, you will have to use Star Rock, which has a milder magical effect! ”

"Good fellow...... Can you enchant this three times? Throw it away! It's hopeless! You're even more stupid than that guy just now! ”

"How many times have I said it, not everything can be enchanted, you don't know how many times this armor has been repaired, and it has long lost the potential of enchantment! Enchanting it is as hard as withering a flower on your ass! ”

"Go back and tell the people of the Gliss family that if you don't have enough money, don't even think about changing all your equipment to enchantment! With that spare money to purchase materials, it is better to go to East Yunette and hire a few more mercenaries! ”

The attitude of the black cat is not good at all, and it can even be said that it is full of yin and yang, and the number of magicians and alchemists who come to consult is useless.

However, the mages and alchemists who came to ask for advice did not care.

It is better to say that they almost listened to the black cat's various suggestions, and even took out paper and pen to record its various evaluations.

From time to time, you can see a mage or alchemist who instantly shows a sudden realization expression after a sharp comment, complaint and abuse from the black cat.

They excitedly saluted the black cat, then returned to their workbenches ecstatic to continue their attempt.

The black cat was chewing on small dried fish, while glancing at the busy crowd, and whispered "a group of half-hangers who have no third-rate level" Yunyun......

It wasn't until a shrill bell rang that the busy mages and alchemists stopped their work.

With the exception of those craftsmen whose work was carried out to a critical part, most people subconsciously took out the dishes and left the workshop in a swarm.

Seeing this scene, the black cat pursed its lips and looked even more disdainful:

"What can't you do, the first place in dry rice ......"

It wasn't until the vast majority of mages and alchemists had left the workshop, leaving only the casters who were completely engrossed in their work, almost forgetting everything around them, that the black cat withdrew its disdainful gaze.

Its languid appearance was swept away almost instantly, and its chubby body stood up suddenly, and its two fat claws grabbed the metal collar and chain around the cat's neck, desperately trying to remove it.

However, the chain was made of unknown materials, and no matter how much it tried, it could not loosen it by half a cent.

The black cat didn't believe in evil, and it looked left and right, and its eyes quickly fell on a generic enchanted dagger on the workbench that it should have forgotten about by its maker.

Then, I saw it come up with a sigh of relief, stretched out its claws with difficulty to reach it, and then bit the handle of the dagger, and cut back and forth the chains that imprisoned it.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be doing all this useless work."

The cold voice suddenly sounded, and the black cat Nice was startled.

Its fur exploded almost instantly, the dagger in its mouth fell to the ground with a click, and a pair of wide-eyed cats looked warily at the door of the workshop.

At the entrance of the workshop, a black-haired girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old was standing there with her hands on her chest.

She was dressed in a black skirt, her scarlet hole was unwavering, and her delicate face had no expression.

Seeing the girl, the mages and alchemists who were working in the workshop stopped their work and quickly stood up:

"European ...... Lord Odosia! ”

They saluted respectfully, stammering with a hint of fear.

The girl looked at them in a daze, and instead of speaking, she took a step and walked towards Nice.

Looking at the girl, Ness subconsciously shrank back, and his voice was full of vigilance:

"Yes...... It's you? What are you doing here? ”

"I've come to see our captives, and I've heard that some of them are getting along in the workshop, and they've impressed many of our senior magicians......"

The girl meant something authentic.

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the notched chain around Nice's neck, and on the dagger that fell beside the cat's paw, and said meaningfully:

"Some people don't seem to have given up on escaping from prison, and it seems that they need to be re-educated."

Listening to the girl's words, Nice's expression changed, and he hurriedly slapped the dagger next to him out with one paw:

"Jailbreak? No, no...... Misunderstand! It's all a misunderstanding! Nothing! I'm just helping to see what they do! Well...... Isn't that what you want me to do? ”

The girl looked at it deeply and did not answer.

I saw her come to Nice, bend down and pick up the dagger that Nice had just flown off, and after looking at it for a moment, she said:

"Compound enchantment of opposing elements, it is said to ...... It's a lost method of enchantment, you taught them? ”

Ness coughed lightly, and gradually relieved when he saw that the girl didn't seem to be pursuing the action that it had just tried to break the chain and escape.

It reverted to its haughty appearance, bowing slightly:

"Of course, there are a lot of things that the cat master knows, just miss a little, it's enough for these guys to ponder!"

However, at this time, the girl changed her words and looked at Nice with a faint look:

"But as far as I know, this enchantment has been lost in Miria for nearly three hundred years, and has long since been cut off with the disappearance of its inventor, the legendary mage Nicholas......"

"I've been watching you for a long time, and you seem to have mastered a lot of ancient enchantment techniques, and some of your alchemy techniques are very similar to those of Siyunnet's Nicholas School."

"You...... Is it an esoteric mage of the Nicholas School? ”

Listening to the girl's words, Ness suddenly showed a dazed look:

"Huh? What are you talking about? What school of thought? What is pulled? ”

"Hmm...... I learned all my knowledge from books, I'm just a talking kitten, I don't know what school of thought you're talking about! ”
