"It's so simple. "Because only a magician can freely control all the elements, and alchemy requires proficiency in all elements, and other professions can't do this." You studied magic in the court, didn't the court tutor teach you?"

"I remember my old teacher saying that, but I forgot. Alice lowered her head in embarrassment.

After a while, the food was delivered. After putting the food away, the waiter asked, "Do you need to order a tune?"

In the middle of the restaurant, two musicians are playing melodious music on the violin.

Bing Zhiyi didn't understand music, so he didn't speak.

Alice, who was a lover of music, took ten silver coins and said, "Then order a concerto of four seasons, "Winter." ”

"Haode, I'm going to talk to the musician. ”

"Wait, I still want to ask. Alice said.

The waiter stood aside respectfully: "You may ask." ”

Alice asked, "Where is the alchemy competition, I want to see it." ”

"That's why you're here in Arant. Alchemy is the pride of Arant, and some people come here, as a citizen of Arant, of course, he is very happy, and the waiter said: "Every alchemy competition starts on September 10 and ends on September 30, if you want to see it, you will have to wait a few days." ”

Bing Zhi said evilly: "Is it longer than a game?"

The waiter at the restaurant said: "At this time of every competition, in addition to our alchemists near Arrant, alchemists from all over Shijie will also come, because this is a rare opportunity for them. With so many people to compete, it is not one game that can be compared, but three games, which are divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals. The competition time for the preliminary round and the semi-final is five days, and the warlocks are required to refine the items that meet the requirements according to the requirements, and the final is ten days, and after the finals, if someone can pass it, the zuihou results will be ranked according to the quality of the manufactured things. The theme of this final is attack and destruction, which was decided at the last competition two years ago, and there will definitely be many people who will refine very powerful weapons. ”

"It was great, it turned out that there was more than one game. "I heard that there were three games, and in twenty days, Alice was the happiest.

The waiter said: "The two of you are here to watch alchemy, you can stay in our hotel for a few more days, and our hotel will provide you with very high-quality services." If you need to explore the city, there is a special guide in the hotel who can take two people on a tour. ”

"That's very thoughtful. Alice said.

"Xiexie, do you need anything else?" the waiter asked.

"No need. "Bing Zhixiao gave a tip of five or six silver coins and put it on the tray.

The waiter was a little unhappy when he saw that he had said so much and received such a small tip, but fortunately said, "Xiexie, please use it slowly." And he left.

Alice covered her mouth and smiled: "Master, you don't tip much, do you see that he serves so well?"

"No, I don't. Bing Zhixiao ate the lamb chops and said, "I only have so much change on my body." ”

Alice said, "Then you can't give a gold coin?"

Bing Zhixie felt strange: "Weishenme wants to give so much?"

As he spoke, there was a burst of laughter and applause from a table behind him. I saw a bartender showing his superb bartending skills to the guests, and a rich man dressed as a rich man immediately happily threw several gold coins to tip the bartender.

Bing Zhixiao turned his head and sweated: "Every silver coin I have earned by my own ability, and that kind of thing is done by the nouveau riche." ”

Alice smiled, "I didn't let the master be like him, but if we tip enough to make others happy, won't we be able to get more good service?" ”

The waiter from before came over again: "Do you need anything, guest?"

Alice said, "Can you bring us two more glasses of wine?"

"Of course, please wait. "Not long after, the waiter came with two glasses of wine.

Alice placed a gold coin on his tray: "Thank you for your service, it's really good." ”

"Oh, Xiexie, I'm honored to be complimented by my customers. The waiter politely walked away.

Alice said, "Master, you see how happy he is." ”

Bingzhi Evil Khan said: "Give him money, of course he is happy." ”

Alice stared at the ice for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" said the Ice Child.

Alice said, "Master, your personality is really strange. ”

"Oh, is it strange?"

Alice nodded, "yes." However, Alice knows that the master is a good person, and he actually cares about the feelings of others, but he is unwilling to show this feeling. Master, you have always been protecting yourself, but the current master is better than when I first met him. ”

Bing Zhiye chuckled: "The disciple is talking about the master's character. Let's eat. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Alice tasted the dessert she had ordered.

After a while, Alice suddenly said, "By the way, master, you ...... Where's the money bag you took from that guy?"

"Here it is. Bing Zhixiao took it out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Look at how much money is in there. Alice opened the bag with a wicked smile and was stunned.

"Huh?" Bing Zhixiao wiped his mouth and took a sip of vegetable juice to look at her.

Alice was surprised and took out a thick pile of gold rolls from the bag and grabbed it in her hand: "Wow, master, you see, I have so much money." ”

Under the reflection of the sun, the yellow and smooth and flexible golden rolls reflected the golden light. The surrounding tables of guests stared at the pile of gold rolls with wide eyes, and even the waiters who were serving were dumbfounded.

In fact, there are not many gold scrolls, about thirty or so, each with 10,000 gold coins, that is, more than 300,000 gold coins. But it must be that you are actually holding such a thick pile of gold in your hand, and this feeling is very different from a few numbers on a bank account.

Seeing the strange gazes in the eyes of the people around him, Bing Zhiye glared at Alice and said, "Don't attract too much attention, it will cause trouble." ”

"Oooh. Alice hurriedly put the gold scroll into her pocket, and took out some scattered gold and silver coins and precious stones from the money bag: "Master, this money must have been cheated by that guy again." ”

"So what?"

"Then we don't have to give it back to him. Alice whispered: "It's not easy for the master to make some money, and doing the task is risky and a waste of time." Anyway, his money was also cheated, and we stole it and used it ourselves. ”

Bing Zhixiao didn't speak, and said after a while: "Hurry up and eat, and leave here quickly after eating, others are looking at us." ”
