On the morning of the second day after receiving the official letter, Linfeng City welcomed a special guest.

Several knights went out of the city to greet them, and a convoy of carriages with Ouroboros tattoos on them was connected to the city, escorting them all the way to the gate of the Lord's Palace.

Aland disembarked from the carriage he was led into, and then entered the city lord's palace after being received by his attendants.

"The messenger of the city of Flamel has arrived." In the office, the attendant whispered instructions to Evelyn.

Evelyn stopped talking to Nolan and bowed, "Let him in." ”

The door to the office was then opened, and Arand stepped into it, his eyes sweeping over the young man and woman inside.

Sitting at the desk was a woman who looked no more than twenty years old, wearing a black ladies' skirt that was popular in the imperial capital, a black shawl with a gold trim pattern, and a badge of the Baihat family on her chest.

Although young, there is already a trace of calm temperament between the eyebrows.

Before he arrived, Arand had done his homework on the current situation of Impend, and he knew that this woman was the new lord of Impend, Evelyn Baihart.

Sitting across from Evelyn was a young man with black hair in the uniform of an Imperial officer, noticing that Arand was looking at him, and the young man smiled back at him.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and saluted Evelyn:

"I am Arand Flamel, the emissary of Flamel City, and I have come this time to seek cooperation with Prime-Peak City on behalf of Lord Bach, the lord of Flamel City."

"I'm Evelyn Baihart, Lord of Peak City."

Evelyn stood up and smiled and held out her hand to him, "Welcome, Mr. Aland, Peaks is willing to cooperate with every friendly friend. ”

After shaking hands, she immediately introduced him to the young man standing up next to her:

"This is our Chief Staff, Noren Wies, and if you don't mind, he will be in charge of your travel planning and taking care of your trip in Peak City."

"Okay." Aland hurriedly said, the main purpose of his visit this time was to contact Noren, and the City Lord's Mansion was really helpful to him like this.

He looked at Nolan again, and the young man in front of him was already in a high position in Peak City at a young age, as the data showed, which made him sigh a little in his heart.

In the ancient city of Flammel, which has a history of thousands of years, the people who can hold high positions are some half-buried antiques, like he became a director of the society headquarters in his early forties, which is already considered a relatively fast promotion.

How can it be like Linfeng City, from the city lord to the general staff is a group of young people, just like this young city, just by looking at it, you can know the infinite vitality and possibilities that it exudes.

"I've seen the results of your alchemy in the Academy."

Feeling emotional, Arand also stretched out his hand to Nolan, "We are amazed by your academic level in the field of circle science, and even the strict Lord Bach does not hesitate to praise him.

"Flamel respects every talented alchemist, Master Nolan, and I think we'll get along very well."

He didn't neglect the etiquette because of the other party's youth, although the alchemy world always prioritizes seniority by age, but when someone has made a big enough research achievement, he will also be respected enough.

The so-called master is the teacher, this is the concept that the city of Flamel has been advocating and encouraging in order to enliven the increasingly solidified academic atmosphere in the city.

"It's overrated." Nolan smiled and shook Alexander's hand.

"In order to show our sincerity, Flamel also brought some greeting gifts for you."

Alander immediately said: "A cart of orange-yellow grade magic crystals and a piece of vermilion-level magic crystals totals four thousand merels, as well as some insignificant alchemy props, and there is no respect at all." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Nolan's face couldn't help but be a little sincere.

Now there are less than 7K meles left in the city's magic crystal reserves, and although there are not many 4K meles, they can be regarded as solving the urgent need.

What's more, the total number of crystals in this 4K Mel also includes higher-quality Vermilion Magic Crystals.

As long as Valkyrie can equip this, the White Raven will be able to replicate the heroic performance of the decisive battle, and can cast high-level spells in the sky at least three times.

Sincerity, Flamell showed it.

"Come with me, then."

Nolan took him out of the office and walked outside the City Lord's Mansion, "I don't know what your specific plans are for this visit, so I can arrange a trip for you." ”

"The first one is a mission from the City Lord's Mansion."

"You have submitted a large order for 4W Mel to us, which is more than twice the standard reserve of a city's magic crystals.

"We want to have a long-term relationship with you, so we can provide Peak City with enough Mana Crystals, and we can sell you the amount that exceeds the standard amount at the best price.

"But correspondingly, we need to confirm whether there is such a large demand for magic crystals in Peak City, this is a matter of principle, I hope you can understand."

To put it simply, it is to prevent the occurrence of buying at a low price and selling at a high price.

If one side of the force buys a large number of magic crystals wholesale from Flamel at a relatively low friendship price, and then turns around and secretly sells the magic crystals at a higher price to make the difference, isn't this playing Flamel like a fool?

"Totally understood."

Nolan nodded, "I'll give you an overview of why Ringestro needs to procure so many mana crystals, and if necessary, sign a trade deal with Flamel.

"However, I believe you have already speculated before you came, the main purpose of the magic crystal is to power the magic guide, and we in Linfeng City have now decided to equip the army with magic guides on a large scale."

In addition to powering magic circles and magic guides, magic crystals also have some niche uses.

For example, through a special device, the magic power of the magic crystal is dissipated, so that the concentration of magic in the surrounding environment increases, and the magic absorption speed of the transcendent in this area is increased.

Because the magic components in the magic crystal contain impurities and are not pure, they cannot be directly absorbed by the transcendent, so the magic in it can only be used in this way to be used by the transcendent.

However, there is a problem with the conversion rate of this method, if the magic power of the 1K mel content in the magic crystal is dissipated into the air through the device, I am afraid that only three or four hundred meles can be absorbed in the end.

A large amount of mana is consumed to power the dispersion device, or it escapes during the conversion process.

As a result, this method is extremely wasteful and extravagant, and is now rarely used.

With the money to buy these magic crystals, it is more useful to directly buy other cultivation resources for the transcendent.

For example, refining some elixirs and alchemical potions rich in magic and tonics;

For example, forge a few divine weapons inlaid with natural treasures that can increase the attack power of transcendents in actual combat.

Even, go to find a piece of Cave Heaven Blessed Land that is rich in magic power and can greatly increase the speed of cultivation.

For the vast majority of forces that focus on the cultivation of transcendentals, these methods are more efficient than simply pondering and using magic crystals.

The magic crystal is just a "niche" resource active in alchemy, and it has not yet made the forces of all parties blushing to the point of breaking their heads to grab it.

If Edward Flamel hadn't invented the magical rune system and the concept of a magic guide, people wouldn't even know what to do with these strange ores that contain magical powers.

Aland nodded, knowing it.

The most needed magic crystal is the magic guide, and the one that can increase the value of the magic crystal the most is also the magic guide.

If Peak City manufactures and wholesales a strategic-level magic guide that can amaze all the forces, then the value of the magic crystals that power it will also rise.

As a big city for the export of magic crystals, the city of Flamel will grab huge profits in this outlet.

And to confirm whether Linfeng City has created such a powerful magic channel, this is the real purpose of his first mission.

In fact, he already had a bottom in his heart before he came, because in the intelligence, Linfeng City relied on the new city defense magic cannon to defend the city, and wiped out the living force that invaded the enemy in one fell swoop.

Nolan also said generously: "At present, our military department is equipped with several new strategic-level magic cannons, and plans to mass-produce them next year.

"In addition, the production of other strategic-level magic guides is also in the planning of the military department, which will become a major expense for the consumption of magic crystals.

"Frankly speaking, not to mention 4W Mel, even if it is twice as much, we will never have too much in Linfeng City."

New Strategic Magic Cannon......

Aland's eyes lit up: "Uh...... You can take me on a tour, you know, we in Flamel are the birthplace of the concept of the magician, and we were born with it...... There is quite curiosity. ”

If Nolan wants to refuse this request, there is also a good reason, just say that it is a secret of the military department.

Unless the imperial capital comes to the parade in the name of the emperor, the cities within the empire do not have the right to know and interfere in the internal affairs of other cities.

However, since he is ready to cooperate with Flammel, Nolan will not refuse this request, and showing his cards appropriately can also increase his bargaining chips in the future.

"Of course, please come with me." Nolan said, "Let's go to the Linfeng Hills. ”

"Linfeng Hills?"

"Well, just last night, the defenders over there received a report that a group of rock helmet ground turtles from the Linfeng Mountains had somehow lost their way during the winter migration and came to the territory of the Linfeng Hills.

"The location of their invasion is not far from the local villages and transportation arteries, so the defenders over there have sent us a call for help, and we are preparing to rush over to clear out the monsters."

The Linfeng Mountain Range is vast, not only rich in natural resources, but also inhabited by countless magical beasts, and every year there will be incidents of magical beasts intruding into the surrounding cities.

Among them, the Rock Helmet Earth Turtle is one of the more common magical beasts, and the adult body is usually a fifth-order, compared to the destructive power, they are characterized by their extremely tenacious vitality and defense.

As earth-based demonic beasts, their turtle shells can be described as invulnerable, and they have extremely high defense against physical attacks, even if a high-level knight makes a move, they can't kill them quickly for a while.

In fact, before alchemy was developed, people used the shell and skin of the rock helmet ground turtle to make shields and armor.

Corresponding to its excellent defense, it is more clumsy and has less resistance to spells, making it suitable as a fixed target for mages.

Originally, the military department planned to send the high-ranking mages of the Knights to deal with the incident of the invasion of the demonic beast this morning, but since Alander is here, let's let the chariot equipped with the new magic cannon appear.

"That's really...... That's great. ”

Not only was he able to see the new magic cannon, but he was also able to see it in battle, and Arand readily agreed, and got into the carriage with Noren on the way to the Peaking Hills.

Along the way, he chatted with Nolan from time to time, or exchanged the customs of his city, or shared some news and experiences in the alchemy world.

Both of them are alchemists, and they have a common topic, and the atmosphere of communication is also pleasant.

The carriage then arrived at the Linfeng Hills, and when Noren got out of the carriage, the local garrison officer greeted him and saluted:

"My lord, we have surrounded and sealed off this group of demonic beasts, and are waiting for your next instructions!"

Compared with other ferocious monsters, the Rock Helmet Ground Turtle has a milder personality, and there is no riot at night when the defenders are waiting for support, but they all huddle in their carapaces and fall asleep, and they do not wake up until dawn.

"This is not a place for you to hibernate."

Noren climbed up and glanced with his binoculars in the direction the officer was pointing, and there were five or six turtles crouched there with their limbs curled up, like pale blue stone piers.

They are four or five meters long, and with their thick and heavy bodies, they can be regarded as relatively heavy magical beasts.

The nearest transportation route is less than a kilometer away, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible for the safety of the surrounding merchants.

"Push the chariot out." Nolan bowed.

Even before Aland arrived, he had already dispatched a chariot to stand by as soon as he had made a thorough plan.

Under Aland's expectant gaze, the chariot equipped with the new magic cannon was quickly pushed out by the garrison.

There are no strange modifications on the exterior of the vehicle, it seems that a new magic cannon has been added to the ordinary tank, and the main technical content seems to be in the magic cannon itself.

It's a pity that only a black cannon barrel can be seen from the side of the carriage from the outside, and nothing else has been found.

Just when Aland's heart was itching, the chariot quickly drove to about a hundred meters away from the Rock Helmet Ground Turtle under Nolen's instructions.

This place is higher than the terrain, and its spell range is just enough to cover all the Earth Turtles below.

With the chariot horizontally positioned and the barrel aimed at the target below, Nolan ordered:

"Open fire."

"Fire!"

The order was quickly given by the herald on the side, and the gunner in the chariot who controlled the magic cannon pressed the circle switch.

Outside the carriage, the mouth of the cannon barrel immediately unfolded a circle of fiery red conspicuous magic circles.

"Wow-"

In the next moment, a blazing tongue of fire erupted from the magic circle, and the high-temperature flames instantly swept over an area of hundreds of meters, completely enveloping those rock helmet ground turtles.

The physical defense of the Rock Helmet Ground Turtle was amazing, but the bone-burning, pervasive fire didn't care about that, they wriggled and struggled in the flames, and soon they were burned into blackened charred blocks, and they never moved again.

"It's ...... Sixth-order fire-based spell "Heavenly Burning Flame"! Aland's eyes widened.

Even though he had seen the information beforehand, he still felt a little unbelievable to witness all this with his own eyes.

In that tank, which was only three meters wide, flexible, and not too large, it was really stuffed with a strategic-level magic guide that could cast high-level spells!
