Chapter 411: Alchemy Workshop
In the huge cave where the tarantula tribe is located, there are many stalagmites hanging directly from the roof of the cave.
There are many artificially excavated spaces in stalagmites that can form buildings.
These buildings are the "core powerhouse" of the tarantula tribe.
The Alchemy Workshop is one of them.
A handful of the Dark Elves have the talent of hanging in the air, and can fly directly and slowly into these stalagmites.
For example, Zaknavin and Mason, two of them as elites from big cities, were able to do this, and the reason why they didn't use it before was only because the slave fighters were forbidden to fly.
Of course, Alex, Golantis and others can also fly.
However, the Dark Elves are extremely slow to fly, and can only be used as a status symbol, and at the same time used to enter the stalagmites on the top of the cave, which is useless in battle.
Compared to Midi's awakening secret technique "Flying Sword Dance", this levitation can only be said to be pediatric.
But precisely because the "Flying Sword Dance" is by no means pediatric, it cannot be lightly exposed.
Midi had no choice but to use the iron rope to climb the stalagmite at the top of the cave, and this process alone took him dozens of minutes.
And when he finally came to the alchemy workshop, Midi could detect that the eyes of these dark elf alchemists in the workshop were more or less full of sarcasm.
"Human, this is not the place for you. An old voice rang out.
The owner of the voice is a dark elf who is older than the tarantula patriarch.
Even the longevity of the race could not hide his old age, but despite the wrinkles on his skin and wrinkles on his forehead, his eyes were still full of sly light.
Not only that, the magic robe he was wearing was even more exquisite, and he also held a staff made of ancient wood in his hand, and the black diamond on the head of the staff was scorching, and the magic power fluctuations were extremely obvious.
Even the costumes of the patriarch and the black dragon priestess were much inferior to the old alchemist.
For some reason, the word "nouveau riche" popped into Midi's mind.
This old dark elf is the alchemy elder of the tarantula tribe, and the master here, Master Sherlock.
"I've become a tribal warrior......" Midi replied.
"Of course I know you're a tribal warrior, stupid human!" said Master Sherlock's old face with a look of disdain, "When you little bastards challenged, the whole cave was noisy like an earthquake, and there was no way to do alchemy, and I could clearly see what happened below from the cave, so of course I knew what was going on." ”
"So, what do you mean?" Midi couldn't help but ask.
"Tribal warriors just have the right to come to this alchemy workshop to exchange huàn, but only if you have money to exchange huàn, black diamonds, or other rare materials, Mithril coins common to Mosobre City. Sherlock said lazily, "Boy, do you have one?"
Of course Midi didn't.
Although he had made a lot of money in the Dark Mushroom Forest before, except for the ones he used, all the remaining rare materials were converted into contribution points.
The territorial challenge that followed, too, was a crucial victory, but the tarantula tribe didn't give any real real rewards.
No, it may not be fair to say that, because freedom itself is the greatest reward.
But there is no doubt that the current Midi can be said to be destitute.
The only thing that can be worth some money in the dark region is the "Kill" and "Kill" double swords that have just been brought back from Golantis.
Of course, the dagger "Golden Forgiveness", which has been transformed into an armband, is still priceless, but Midi sincerely hopes that it will not be noticed by anyone.
In other words, even if he became a tribal warrior and obtained the qualification to "enter" the alchemy workshop, Midi would still not be able to get anything.
"Human, I advise you to do more of the tasks assigned by the Elders, or ask that little girl from Golantis to borrow money, otherwise, don't come here. Visits to the atelier are not permitted!" Sherlock concluded, laughing out loud at his sense of humor.
It's just that Midi obviously doesn't feel funny at all.
How many Presbyterian tasks do you?
Doesn't this mean that after getting rid of slavery, you have to start all over again?
When you finally save some money, not to mention what you can exchange in this alchemy workshop, the bonfire party is about to begin.
When the time comes, what is the use of that little money?
It's just that the other party said a word and went home, this kind of thing, Midi naturally refused to do.
Despite the impatience of the nouveau riche old alchemist, who looked like he had swept people out of the house, Midi was still standing in place, with no intention of leaving.
Of course, he will not have any emotional fluctuations because of this kind of provocation.
Midi even wondered if the other party was deliberately provoking him in order to provoke him into getting some leverage.
This made him respond calmly, but also became extremely cautious in his wording.
"Master Sherlock, since I've managed to make such a trip, I should at least be able to take a look, right? Of course, I won't disturb your work, and I won't go into any sensitive areas. Midi said calmly, "Just know some basic common sense, for example, the purchase price of the raw materials of the alchemy workshop, and the sale price of the finished product, etc., even if you want to do the task, you must have a goal first, right?"
Sherlock was obviously reluctant, and to be honest, he didn't want to waste any time on this human.
It's just that Midi's words are very polite, and they are reasonable, without any flaws, and he is not easy to refute lightly.
After all, although this person has no net worth, if you want to talk about personal force, he is definitely the number one in the tarantula tribe.
Midi stepped on the heads of countless strong people all the way up from the black rock cave, and how many strong people he killed had already spread in the tarantula tribe.
Besides, he has some kind of inexplicable relationship with the black dragon priestess Golantis, who is now gaining momentum, so even Sherlock doesn't want to get into too much trouble.
Now that the other party has been given a dismissal, and the other party has not made any requests that make him feel particularly troublesome, then, if it is only to open the alchemy workshop once, it seems acceptable.
After weighing the gains and losses in his heart, Sherlock finally snorted with his nose and nodded: "Thirty minutes, no more! I'll give you a chance to open your eyes, remember not to touch anything, otherwise even Golantis won't be able to save you!"
Midi didn't bother to say anything about Sherlock's nose-to-the-sky attitude, just nodded calmly, and then entered the alchemy workshop.
The stalagmite grew bigger and bigger as it went upside down, like an upside-down tower, and the interior of the alchemy workshop was therefore divided into many layers.
Among them, there are not only warehouses, but also material processing areas, and a large number of different alchemy rooms, divided into categories, everything.
It's just that for Midi, who has personally established countless alchemy rooms and even factories since the Magic Research Department of the Falcon Regiment, this alchemy workshop of the Tarantula Tribe is obviously nothing.
He didn't come here to see what was new, but to find out if there were any parts of these materials and alchemy potions that could help him.
Originally, Midi only wanted to focus on those who could improve his level and strength, but now, after discovering the fact that he was so poor that he was looked down upon, Midi also began to care about the price factor.
It didn't take long for Midi to discover a pattern in the alchemy workshop.
The price of the finished alchemy product is three times that of the material.
A little more, no less, just three times as good.
Unlike the merchants on the Arad continent who try to hide their costs, in the dark regions, doing business is straightforward.
Or rather, it is more appropriate to describe it as domineering.
The price of the material is clearly marked, and the price of the alchemy potion is even more clearly marked, and it is exactly three times as much.
Looking at the price above, Midi could almost imagine that the old alchemist was arrogantly saying, "I just want to make two hundred percent profit, what can you do with me?"
And the price difference of Tong Guò, Midi deduced a fact.
In the dark region, alchemists are in short supply.
If this were not the case, it would not have been possible to mark the price of the potion to three times the value of the material. If it's a low-level medicine such as an ordinary blood clotting agent, it's fine, but this rough doubling method is still affordable for everyone.
However, those Mingxin Elixirs, Quenching Elixirs, etc., which are used to improve the level and comprehend, have also directly tripled, and this price has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to accept.
However, the fact that this kind of sky-high price can be marked here shows that alchemists must be extremely rare in the dark region, thus forming a monopoly and ensuring extremely high profits.
It is precisely because of this that even if Midi has become a tribal warrior and is in the limelight, he is still not taken seriously by the old guy Sherlock.
People can be said to be the kind of people who sit at home and collect money, and naturally they don't look down on those people who fight and kill outside all day long.
However, from this fact, it is not difficult to deduce that as long as you can avoid the gold-absorbing machine of the alchemy workshop, then there is no doubt that many of Midi's bottlenecks will be solved.
Can I do my own alchemy?
In Midi's heart, such a thought suddenly popped up.
If you can refine it yourself, not to mention the resources you need to quickly level up, even the money problem will be solved, and better equipment can be obtained.
Although Midi has never been in contact with the field of alchemy, he has various close contacts with top experts in alchemy, such as Master Norton and Emile "White Snake".
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Midi naturally has a lot of theoretical understanding of alchemy.
And more importantly, there is the Eighth Apostle Lotus.
Not long ago, under the guidance of Lotus, Midi had just used his sword to mix and refine several different materials.
In the real world, it's not just alchemy, but it can also be said to be a high-level alchemy without the help of tools.
"Perhaps, we should give it a try. Midi said to Lotus in her heart.
Soon, he got an affirmative answer.
