After telling the researchers about the secrecy, Xia Lin first went to the industrial park, and asked the apprentices of the machine shop to make two large steel canisters under the guidance of the dwarven master.

Later, I went to visit Dean Manan and wanted to ask him if there were some secret means of magic in this world.

However, this is not for the researchers of Karl's laboratory, but the purification rune disk must be made by an alchemist, considering the secrecy, Xia Lin does not plan to go to Master Connie Kyle, who he has worked with before, but is ready to hire a full-fledged alchemist himself.

The hierarchy of alchemists is different from that of mages, which is divided into four levels: apprentice, formal, expert, and master.

Among them, the apprentice level is to refine some simple potions such as love water, weak healing potions, debridement potions, etc., and at the same time make some rune disks with zero rings.

Official-level alchemists can refine a series of useful potions such as mental power stimulation potions, magic resistance potions, damage resistance potions, dim vision potions, secondary magic potions, blazing glue, etc., as well as inscriptions on rune plates, as well as some enchantment skills.

Expert alchemists have mastered the production of a series of advanced potions, such as life potions, magic potions, berserk potions, invisible perception potions, stone skin potions, dark vision potions, water breathing potions, and so on, and they have mastered the art of inscription enchantment of the two-ring spell.

As for the master alchemist, he has mastered a series of master potions such as swamp potion, light wind potion, intuition potion, purification potion, invisibility potion, regeneration potion, etc., and has mastered the inscription enchantment technique of the three-ring spell.

As for the enchantment skills of the higher four-to-six-ring spells, for various reasons, they have not yet been mastered by alchemists, and what Xia Lin needs is an alchemist who can make purification rune plates.

"You need a reliable means of keeping magic secret? Then consider the Elemental Oath Scroll, a special type of spell scroll that is widely circulated in our wizarding world.

This spell scroll is essentially a contract, except that its effect is guaranteed not by worldly credibility, but by the spirits of the four elements of the wizarding world.

Those who violate the terms established above will be punished by the four elemental spirits, that is, they will lose their ability to cast spells for a long time, and only for a short time after drinking the magic potion can they barely cast some zero-ring spells.

It's just that this kind of contract is not cheap, because it can only be made by prophecy mages with more than three rings, and it also requires a large number of precious magic materials, and one is worth eighty gold lundes.

In our house, only Professor Matilda can make this special scroll, you can go to her and ask her!

Runes and Magic is about to start, and I still have some things to do, so I won't go with you!"

Hearing Xia Lin's request, Dean Manan, who was writing something, was slightly surprised for a moment, and then explained.

It sounds like this kind of spell scroll is very restrictive to mages, and it can completely block the magic power of mages, so that they can't cast spells at all, Xia Lin can't help but be a little curious about what the principle is, can it be said that the spirits of the four elements really exist? Otherwise, why would this metaphysical spell be effective?

However, when Xia Lin and the researchers in the laboratory had encountered a stagnation in the progress of their research, they had already tried the method of using the omens technique mentioned by Dean Manan to get some inspiration from the four elemental spirits, but everyone got nothing, only some fragments of strange sentences.

"Professor Matilda?"

Keeping this doubt in mind for the time being, Xia Lin hurried to the Prophecy Department to find Professor Matilda.

However, while Professor Matilda was busy refining a wonderful silver powder from a leaf with silver veins in a pile of crystal containers, Xia Lin had to wait patiently.

Finally, after about two hours, Professor Matilda finally put away the small crystal bottle full of silver powder with satisfaction, and turned to look at Xia Lin with some apologies:

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting

How long. Xia Lin, I heard that you are already a second-ring mage, and as your professor, I feel very relieved, so do you have any difficulties in cultivating prophecy spells when you came to visit me today?"

"No, Professor Matilda, I was the one who interrupted your work.

I'm here today to ask if you still have the Elemental Oath Scroll, I need to sign an employment agreement with an alchemist, but I'm afraid he will reveal my secrets, if I have this scroll, I don't have to worry too much."

Xia Lin hurriedly said that it didn't matter if he waited for a while, and then explained his intention.

"Elemental Oath Scroll? I see, it seems that Dean Manan asked you to come! I still have such a scroll, if it is used to sign a confidentiality contract with an alchemist, it is no problem, you wait a minute, I will find my scroll holder!"

Professor Matilda nodded in surprise when she heard Xia Lin's request, and then she used a mage's hand to pull open the tall bookshelves with scrolls one by one, with a slightly thoughtful look on her face:

"Let me see...... I think it was in this row, it was three years, two months and thirteen days ago when I last made this scroll, well, yes, this is it!"

Professor Matilda quickly found what Xia Lin was looking for, a spell scroll made of thick light black monster skin with gold thread tied on the outside, and took it out with the hand of a mage and handed it to Xia Lin.

"This is the Elemental Oath Scroll?"

Taking the scroll, stroking the slightly rough skin of the scroll, perceiving the thick and huge magic in it, Xia Lin was a little surprised, no wonder this scroll is worth 80 gold lunt, from the point of view of this valuable and magical material, it is worth the money.

"That's right, you're my student, I'll give you a cost price! That's eighty gold in total!"

Professor Matilda nodded.

"Hmm...... Is that a check OK? Professor?"

This price is consistent with what Dean Manan said, it seems that the cost price of this scroll is really 80 gold lund, and Xia Lin naturally will not bargain on this kind of thing.

However, it was impossible for Charlin to carry such a large sum of cash with him, so he took out his checkbook and asked Professor Matilda.

This is a service recently launched by the commercial bank in accordance with his plan to provide customers with savings of more than 1,000 gold lunt, as long as the paper number, material, spell anti-counterfeiting mark and the owner's handwriting and the bank's check book tear mark, you can go to the commercial bank to withdraw money.

"Cheque?"

"Interesting stuff, this is the stuff of the new commercial bank, right? Looks like it's very convenient!"

Seeing a novelty, Professor Matilda came over curiously, looked at Xia Lin's checkbook with great interest, and felt the anti-counterfeiting spell on it, a simple ciphertext recording technique, thought about it and nodded and said:

"Anyway, you're a partner of the academy, what everyone calls the 'miracle Xia Lin', check it! But if you can't get it, you'll have to watch out for my divination."

"Don't worry, Professor! This cheque is just for the convenience of everyone's transactions, and it will definitely be possible to withdraw the money exactly when you take it to the bank."

Xia Lin smiled and wrote down the amount and signature in the checkbook, tore off the 80 gold lunt worth of paper and handed it to Professor Matilda, in exchange for the ownership of the Elemental Oath Scroll in his sleeve pocket.

Although he was a little concerned about Professor Matilda's "miracle Charlin", this made Charin wonder if someone was spreading his nickname again.

However, he hurried to the Alchemists' Guild again, and after being briefed, he successfully met Master Flynn Kundel, the president of the Alchemists' Guild.

"Welcome, Master Charin Carr, your Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories have inspired me and the members of the Alchemists' Guild! I wonder what you're going to do today with the Alchemists' Guild? I will do my best to help you if you need it!"

Master Flynn Kundel was a gray-haired old man, but spiritual

But his head is very full, his short gray hair is properly and meticulously combed close to his scalp, and his goatee is neat, and he looks like a serious and serious person.

When he saw Xia Lin, probably because of that theory, he seemed very enthusiastic.

"Master Flynn, thank you for allowing me to take the liberty of asking to meet, I came to the Alchemists' Guild to meet you this time to find an alchemist who is willing to establish a long-term employment relationship with the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible through your channels."

Xia Lin performed a mage salute and sat down on the black and red solid wood chair to explain his request.

Alchemists are craftsmen in the group of mages, who conduct very expensive alchemical experiments, and even the income from refining expensive potions and rune disks often does not meet their research needs.

In addition, many precious magical materials cannot be purchased with Jinlunt, so many alchemists will sign employment agreements with some nobles or merchants in exchange for alchemy and spell services in exchange for research funds and various precious resources.

It was for this reason that Xia Lin came up with the idea of hiring an alchemist.

"Oh? Was it looking for an alchemist? That's simple, our Alchemist Guild will do our best to help you, I don't know what requirements Master Xia Lin has for candidates?"

Flynn stroked his goatee and said clearly.

"Thank you for the support of President Flynn and the Alchemists' Guild! Specifically, I want this alchemist to have the strength of a full-level alchemist, in addition to being able to sign an elemental oath with our New Leaf Chamber of Commerce!

As for the number of years, the initial signing can be set at ten years, and every month, our New Leaf Chamber of Commerce will provide this signatory with no less than one hundred and fifty gold lunt funds, and all kinds of precious magic materials he needs, and we will also try our best to collect them through the channels of the business alliance."

Xia Lin explained his requirements in detail. One hundred and fifty gold lun per month is already an extremely large amount of employment money.

The usual formal alchemist's employment price is usually only 50 to 100 gold lunt per month, but his requirements require the alchemist to sign an elemental oath and assist in the future alchemical research carried out by the Karl Institute, so the salary has been greatly increased.

"Ten years, one hundred and fifty gold lundes, official alchemist, these conditions are quite good, I have a lot of suitable candidates here.

It's just that there are some problems with signing the Elemental Oath, and as the president of the Alchemist's Guild, I must also confirm the contents of the contract before I allow you to sign the contract, so you shouldn't object to that, right? Master Charin."

Hearing Xia Lin's condition, Master Flynn nodded to show that he had understood, and then said.

"Of course, our contract will be equal, and the most important thing in it is that the signatories cannot disclose everything that needs to be kept confidential during the time they have been working in the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce."
