"Master, hurry up, hurry up, I see a city ahead. Alice floated high in the sky, and below her sat a large balloon. Yak floated in the air with his eyes closed, bulging and chubby, very funny and cute.

Ice Childish rented a mount and hurried away.

After leaving the previous city, they had already walked two days away from the border of the Uzbek Khanate, and the city of Arante, known as the home of alchemists, was not too far from the vicinity of the Ukhanate and was not too far away.

In fact, the Alchemist's Country is not only the city of Arant, but also some other cities and villages around it, and even the entire country of Gosirua has such a reputation.

Gosirua is located in the east of the Uzbek Khanate, and part of its territory borders the Demon Moon Empire, and it is a landlocked country that is not near the sea in the southeast, south, and northwest. Legend has it that as early as hundreds of years ago, the city of Arrant for several generations, several recognized Shijie top alchemists and famous, and then slowly developed into the entire area is keen on alchemy, coupled with the royal family and the government's vigorous promotion, gradually formed a national alchemy boom.

During the period of rapid development of alchemy, the methods and techniques of alchemy were constantly being innovated, and it didn't take long for Gosirua, a small country in the north, to be at the forefront of alchemy. Gradually, alchemists and warlocks from all over Shijie came here, which gave it the reputation of the hometown of alchemists. Especially in the past one or two hundred years, many alchemy experts in the Holy Garden have gone out from here, which has pushed the alchemy here to a new climax.

"Jerk, let's go down and go to the master. Jeke, who had swelled two or three meters in size, slowly shrank and fell. Alice jumped on the back of the hexagonal reindeer that her master had bought, and spread a small formation between her fingers to take Yerk back. But Yeke was unwilling, and slipped into her clothes. Alice twisted her body and giggled, "Naughty little thing, don't tickle me." ”

Jeke got out of his clothes, poked his little head out and licked Alice's neck twice, before going back to sleep.

Alice sat behind the ice child and asked, "Master, do you know alchemy?"

"A little. "Bing Zhi Evil Dao.

"Will you too?"

Bing Zhi said: "As a magician, how can I not understand alchemy, although I am not interested in developing in that aspect, but through alchemy, I can better understand the nature of each element." Understanding meta-qualities is essential for magicians. ”

"Well, no one asked me to learn it before. Alice scratched her head and asked again, "Master, do you know who the most famous alchemist on Shijie is now?"

Bing Zhi smiled evilly: "You want to test me, I haven't paid much attention to alchemists, but I still know a few of the more famous ones." In addition to the sages of the Sacred Garden, there are three names I have heard, one being Hurda the Dwarf who created the 'Golden Shield of the Holy Eye'. He combined the top-notch forging techniques of the Neanderthals, supplemented by his one hundred and seventy years of alchemy jishu, to create the 'Golden Shield of the Holy Eye', which is known as one of the strongest defensive shields on the Shijie. Even the current Great Sage of the Holy Garden was full of praise when he saw the craftsmanship of the 'Holy Eye Golden Shield'. (P.S. Dwarves usually have a life span of more than 300 years.) ）

"Uh-huh. Alice nodded: "I have not only heard of this person, but also seen him, and he is an uncle who likes to drink very much." Two years ago, my father invited him to the palace and asked him to make a matching sword for my brother the crown prince. ”

Bingzhi said evilly: "You have also seen a lot of big people. ”

"Huh. Alice smiled proudly: "Master, you go on, what about it?"

Bingzhi said evilly: "The second is Sophia, who is known as the Queen of Alchemy, she has forged hundreds of weapons and armor in the past few decades, each of which can be called a valuable treasure. However, a few years ago, when she was sixty years old, she announced that she would no longer do gold and live the rest of her life in peace. ”

He paused and said, "Zuihou, this is the most famous alchemist on Shijie at the moment, and his name is Mossan Caesar. He is the royal mentor of Corusia and the supreme warlock of the alchemist's land. Since he became the highest alchemy sergeant in Arrant City, he has vigorously promoted the competition and competition in alchemy, and changed the alchemy competition that used to be once every five years to once every two years, and has selected many outstanding alchemy talents for Golusia and other countries over the years. ”

Alice said: "I have also seen this person, a big fat man who is white and fat. It's a very kind.,Very close uncle.,It's not like the other big guys on shijie like to put on a shelf.。 ”

"You have a deep impression of him. ”

Alice laughed, "Of course, he also hugged me and asked me to pinch his chubby chin and play with it." ”

"Huh. Bing Zhiyi smiled.

Alice said, "But, master, you know these people very well. ”

Bingzhi said evilly: "It's not that I want to know, it's just that when I was in the tavern, I heard the most news about these famous people, and they always became the favorite topic of discussion in the mouths of civilians." ”

The two rode the hexagonal reindeer, chatting about the things that the famous alchemists had refined, and unknowingly came to the outside of the city of Arante.

"Master, we're here. Alice jumped off the reindeer and looked at the three or two people next to her who had entered Arrant City in groups: "Are they all here to participate in the alchemy competition?"

Bingzhi said evilly: "I'm afraid that Shijie has some fame in various places, and there are alchemists who think they have some strength." ”

"Ah, so many people have come to the city of Arante, and there are not enough people to fit it. Alice worried.

Bingzhi smiled evilly: "Although the Arrant may not be as good as Thebeles of the Demon Moon Empire, it is also a Shijie-level metropolis. ”

Alice said excitedly: "Master, let's go in quickly, I can't wait to see what the alchemy competition is like." ”

"Let's go, then. ”

Driving the hexagonal reindeer to the gates of the city of Arant, several city guards were collecting ten silver coins per person from the people entering the city.

Because there were a lot of people entering the city, there were queues. Alice pulled Bing's hand and said, "Hey, master, look, the person in front." ”,

Bing Zhixiao looked at the person she was pointing at, wearing a star-blue magic robe, with a six-pointed star mark on the back and cuffs of the magic robe, this person was chatting with a female mage next to her. Bingzhi said evilly: "Isn't he the one who deceived you...... What a coincidence? Wasn't that enough the last time you beat him up in the city. ”

Alice snorted, "I'm not that stingy." But you see that he is wearing such beautiful clothes now, he must have spent money by fraud. The sister next to her must have been deceived by his rhetoric, people like this, master, we have to teach a good lesson. ”

"And what do you want?"

Alice smiled wickedly, "You see if he has a money bag in his right pocket." Master, I remember that you were very good at stealing things, so steal his money bag. ”

Bing Zhixiao didn't know what to say, when he was in the territory of the Demon Moon Empire, because he had just escaped from Thebyles, he had no money on him, so he had to steal money to stay in a hotel. But now it's good that Alice remembered that time, and even asked him to steal again.

"Master!" Alice shook his hand and said, "Go, this man is so annoying, let me lose the dead in front of you, go teach him a lesson, please master!"

Bingzhi said evilly: "You still say that you are not stingy, didn't you just lie to you once, and remember the grudge until now." To put it this way, when I was in the Great Azurite Tower last year, didn't I lie to you too?"

"You're my master, he's not, he's a nuisance!" Alice's eyes rolled: "Master, if you don't go, punish Alice tonight." Alice has become more and more unrequited and naughty. ”

Bing Zhiyi remembered the scene when Alice pestered herself to be abused that day, so she was depressed for a long time, so she had to say, "Okay, I'll try." He quickened his pace and walked forward.

Herington had arrived at the city gates, and was about to take the money out of his pocket to pay the city tax.

Bing Zhiye saw the timing and slammed into him: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I stumbled my foot." ”

"What's the matter, I'm a new one, it's very expensive, can you afford to break it?" Hurrington angrily pushed Bing Evil to the ground and scolded a few words.

Bing Zhiye lowered his head and didn't say anything, got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and left immediately. Because in order not to be obtrusive, he put away the black magician that Alice had bought before and changed into very ordinary clothes.

Returning to Alice, Bing Zhixiao threw the money bag: "Here you go." ”

Alice took the money bag, but was very angry: "Master, he just pushed you to the ground, why don't you beat him? I'm mad, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

"zhanzhu!" Bing Zhixiao pulled her collar and dragged her back: "It doesn't matter if you scold. Don't let the master do such a thing for you again, otherwise the master will really get angry. ”

As he spoke, Hurrington, who was about to enter the city, finally found that his money was missing......
