After having lunch at the Custer family at noon, Chen Rui got rid of the high-ranking officials and nobles who paid him admiration, got into the special carriage prepared for him by the Custer family, and headed to the Craftsmen Alliance in the southern block.
The time between coming to the Artisan Alliance this time and the first time I came with Ji Ya is not too long, but the feeling is completely different. Seeing the arrival of this three-line master artisan who is famous in the Demon Realm, many people are very excited. Take the initiative to give way and salute, although the surrounding eyes are also jealous and unkind, but there is a saying that is good, those who are not envied are mediocre. Chen Ruicai didn't care about that gaze, and walked straight into the building to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is only for master craftsmen, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter without permission.
At the top of the stairs, Chen Rui saw an old acquaintance again, Master Rummenigge's granddaughter Fenny, and Monroe who seemed to be a follower of ten thousand years.
As soon as Fei Ni saw Chen Rui, she immediately showed a look of admiration: "Arthur! Ah, I'm sorry, it should be called... Master!"
"We are friends, so it's not wrong to be named Arthur." Chen Rui had a good impression of Fei Ni and smiled slightly.
Monroe couldn't turn a blind eye to Chen Rui this time, instead of his usual arrogance, he bowed: "Master."
Monroe is the son of the third general, Kafu. Kafu's power is weaker than that of Bai Luo and Valen. He thinks highly of Chen Rui, a new star master, and once visited him personally, so Monroe dare not be rude to Chen Rui anymore.
In fact, it is the same in any world. Strength and ability are important. Only those who have strength and ability can be respected. This is especially true in the devil world. Chen Rui is not particularly disgusted with Monroe. He nodded and said: "Hello."
Fei Ni unceremoniously exposed one thing: "Master, don't look at this guy suddenly becoming polite, in fact, he took a fancy to the epee you made in the competition last time, the Blazing Eye. '."
Monroe's proud face suddenly turned red, but he didn't attack. In front of Fei Ni, he had only suffered a disadvantage since he was a child, so he could only say: "Master, I usually use an epee. If possible, I hope I can Buy the master's quasi-legendary work."
"You are not suitable for that sword," Chen Rui's words made Monroe's face change slightly, "The most suitable weapon is to tailor it according to the user. I think there are faint fluctuations of the wind element on your body, which should be due to cultivation. A magic swordsman of wind magic."
The annoyance on Monroe's face has turned into surprise. He practiced wind magic in a relatively secret way. Unexpectedly, this young master himself is only a high-level demon, but he saw through this at a glance. He really has something extraordinary. No wonder he became a master craftsman.
"Well, I'll make a list for you. You try to get all these materials together. When the time comes, come to the Custer family to find me, and I'll help you make a sword. Let me state first, it may not reach the quasi-legendary level, but it will definitely be higher than the legendary level. 'Blazing Eyes' is more suitable for you."
This turn of events, Monroe was overjoyed: "Thank you master! If you have any troubles in the future, master, feel free to come to me..."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Monroe remembered that he was a genius master in the tool-making world, and there were many nobles who courted and flattered him, and he was only the son of the third general, which seemed far from enough. It's about the same.
"Master, I..."
Chen Rui saw Monroe's embarrassment, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will come to trouble you if something happens."
This sentence greatly increased Monroe's favor, and he felt that Chen Rui was more pleasing to the eye than ever before, and it was already very "rare" for this proud swordsmanship genius to feel "very pleasing to the eye".
"Master, I'll come to visit with you at that time, okay?" Fei Ni said with a smile, and she became even happier after getting Chen Rui's consent. "My grandfather and Anderson are in the chairman's room, so we won't disturb Master's business. gone."
Chen Rui came to the chairman's room, and sure enough, he saw Master Anderson and Master Rummenigge who were talking.
Anderson's mental state during this period is quite good. The reason is of course that Chen Rui, a genius, joined the alliance. Seeing Chen Rui's arrival, he said, "Master Arthur, you are here."
Rummenigge nodded to Chen Rui. When he first met Chen Rui, he felt that this young man was extraordinary, otherwise he would not have given him the recommendation badge for the competition. Originally, in Rummenigge's heart, Chen Rui was a very A potential tool maker may become an outstanding talent in the tool maker world in the future. Unexpectedly, this young man's ability is far beyond his expectations, and now he is already the most dazzling new star in the devil world - three-line proficiency, thousands of years of experience. The first one, the name of the first genius is well-deserved.
"Master Anderson, Master Rummenigge." Chen Rui still maintained considerable respect for the chairman Anderson and Rummenigge who had stood up to defend himself, and bowed, "Both are senior seniors, In front of the two of you, I dare not call you master, so just call me Arthur, although I have learned more complicated things, in fact, I am not proficient enough in each item, and I still need to learn from you masters."
Anderson and Rummenigge looked at each other and smiled, secretly praising that this young man not only has excellent talent and understanding, but also stepped into the ranks of masters at a young age, and what is even rarer is that he is not arrogant or impetuous. The so-called genius of Savich, He is not even qualified to carry shoes for others, so there is no comparison at all.
Master Anderson has always been strict, so he couldn't help showing a smile at this time: "Master Arthur, you don't have to be too modest. The devil world always puts the master first. With your ability and talent, it is not an exaggeration for us to call you a master. The one after the competition You come and go in a hurry, you may not be familiar with this place, do you want me to ask someone to accompany you around?"
"Thank you, President, but... no need. To tell you the truth, I came here today to ask about the ancient magic tower. I heard last time that the masters of the alliance can have access to the ancient magic tower to learn I don’t know if I can enter the magic tower to learn about it now.”
Master Rummenigge interjected: "I remembered. When you participated in the preliminaries, the round of drawing the magic circle in the magic tower took too much time. It seems that you got a low score. It seems that you went to the third floor and The fourth floor."
"Yes, at that time I wanted to go to the fifth floor, but unfortunately I couldn't get in." Chen Rui said shyly, he came here today as a small part of the plan, but the ancient magic tower is indeed very attractive , if you miss this time, it will probably be a long, long time before you have time to enter again.
Master Rummenigge said with a smile: "Master Anderson and I can't get in to the fifth floor. In other words, no one in the Demon Realm can get in yet. You should only be able to go up if you reach the Grandmaster level."
"Not to mention the fifth floor, we haven't been able to penetrate or decipher many magic circles on the fourth and third floors so far. If you can, you can also get corresponding internal contribution rewards." Master Anderson frowned Wrinkled slightly: "It's just that the quotas for this month are all arranged, and you won't have time to enter until next month."
Chen Rui felt a little disappointed, and Master Rummenigge said: "I still have 30 hours this month. I haven't figured out the four-star magic circle that I transcribed last time. These 30 hours I’ll give it to you, it’s a small gift to congratulate you on joining the alliance.”
"Thank you so much, Master Rummenigge." Chen Rui was overjoyed, and his heart was full of gratitude and respect for this enthusiastic master.
Master Anderson nodded and said: "Since this is the case, why don't you wait for an hour. Master Leo has reached the key to cracking it now, and he is alone in it. Wait for him to come out, and you can go in again. There is still some time now, this... can May I ask the master about the forging technique you used in the final of the tool maker last time? If I guessed right, it should be the method of the tauren clan... "
Chen Rui secretly praised Master Anderson for his sharp eyesight, and the two began to discuss. Master Anderson has been specializing in metal proficiency for more than two hundred years. If you only talk about metal proficiency, even the current No. Rather, Chen Rui also benefited a lot from this exchange.
Before I knew it, an hour passed quickly.
"President!" A voice from outside interrupted the discussion between Chen Rui and Master Anderson. It turned out to be Master Leo who came out of the ancient magic tower.
Lei Ou walked into the chairman's room excitedly, and suddenly saw Chen Rui, frowned, and said directly to Anderson: "President, this time I finally figured out the mystery of the quasi-four-star magic circle last time! "
Master Anderson stood up happily from his seat: "That's great! Show it to me quickly."
Leo took out the magic slate and a magic scroll. The slate is the prototype of the magic circle, and the magic scroll contains notes and detailed introductions.
Master Anderson looked at it and praised: "Yes, it seems that the alliance has added a quasi-four-star defense-strengthening enchantment magic circle. Your contribution points have increased by 5000, and you should have accumulated to the black star again. You can exchange for two for free." It's a level nine material."
Chen Rui was taken aback, level nine material! The three rarest materials that Leiyin lacked last time, Black Phoenix Feather, Thunder Dragon Crystal and Star Ice Sand, were level nine materials. The black phoenix feather was acquired by Dio after a lot of effort, while the Thunder Dragon Crystal and Star Ice Sand were only available in the Warehouse of the Craftsman Alliance, and they were not for sale. It wasn't until he won the competition that he got these two materials with the reward of the champion, but now Leo can get two level 9 materials for free!
It seems that not only for that plan, but also for this "contribution point" that I didn't pay much attention to before, it is worth studying carefully.
Contribution points are an internal "currency" of the Craftsman Alliance. After joining the alliance, masters will automatically get 100 contribution points, and they can also get contribution points by putting equipment on the alliance consignment. Other channels such as participating in alliance activities and competitions are available. Contribution points can be obtained, but the highest contribution point is the magic circle of the ancient magic tower.
This magic array mainly refers to the arrangement method used in the enchanting process during tool making, which can derive various equipment attributes, and is the most important link in tool making.
The maximum reward for recording a complete magic circle above three stars is 2000 points, while cracking a new three-star magic circle is 4000 points, quasi-four-star is 5000, four-star is 6000, quasi-four-star is 7000, lower than three-star The magic circle is much cheaper, and it only costs 200 points to crack one or two new quasi-three-star magic circles.
One hundred contribution points is a white star, one thousand is a purple star, and reaching 10,000 is a black star, which can be exchanged for various rare materials or borrow some precious experience and information.
After cracking the magic circle, in addition to rewarding contribution points, when the magic circle is sold in the store, the master who cracked it can also get a share.
The ancient magic tower is very mysterious. It can be said that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. Everyone may see different magic formations at different times. Sometimes they cannot make up a complete formation and can only infer and calculate. Even a master, It is also very difficult to record and decipher the magic circle of three stars and above.
Master Leo is very proficient in this way. Since joining the alliance, he has cracked four magic circles above three stars, and his status in the alliance has also risen and is unshakable. Therefore, he also obtained a solo experience of ancient magic without disturbing The privilege of the tower, the magic tower on weekdays, is for several masters to be inside at the same time.
Satisfied with the approval of the president Anderson, Leo glanced at Chen Rui indifferently, with the intention of demonstrating: so what about the first new star? No matter how talented you are, you can only look up to this master when it comes to magic circles!
"Arthur, go to the ancient magic tower right now, you take this." Master Anderson said, and took out a magic slate.
"Wait! Shouldn't Master Rummenigge go in?" Master Leo said dissatisfied: "Arthur, even if your talent is better, you can't take up Master Rummenigge's time! Young man, you must understand Be humble and respectful of others!"
Hearing the last sentence, Anderson and Rummenigge shook their heads together. With such words, Leo should tell his disciples that if Savich really understood this truth, he would not end up in that kind of fate.
It can be said that Savich had such an ending, and as his teacher, Leo had an unshirkable responsibility.
"President! I protest against this..."
"Master Leo, thank you for your kind maintenance." Rummenigge said, "It's just that I voluntarily gave it to Master Arthur this time."
Leo's original intention was not to defend Rummenigge, but to take advantage of Chen Rui's excuses. Hearing Rummenigge's words, he immediately faltered and snorted coldly: "It seems that in order to win over this talented new star, you It’s really worth the effort.”
"Because I'm not only a master of the Craftsman League, but also a member of the royal family." Rummenigge didn't deny his intention to show favor to Chen Rui, and answered generously.
"Okay, since Rummenigge volunteered, Leo, please say a few words." As the president, Master Anderson said, "Time is precious, Arthur, you can go, this magic slate is specially made , which is completely different from the previous preliminaries. It can not only record the magic circle, but also display the existing magic circle type, so as not to repeat the record. At the same time, it is also the key to enter the closed ancient magic tower. There is a time mark on it. Your time is Thirty hours. Once the time is up, you will be sent out automatically. The unused time this time can be accumulated to be used in the next month, but it cannot exceed two months, otherwise it will be automatically invalidated."
Chen Rui nodded to express his understanding, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can you give me the magic scroll and the recorded tools together?"
Leo seemed to have heard some joke, and sneered: "Counting the preliminaries, this is the second time you entered the magic tower. The highest record in your competition last time was only the quasi-level three magic circle. The quasi-level three and three There is a huge gap between the levels, which is equivalent to the difference in the big realm. If you are going to the third level, it would be great if you can write down a complete magic circle with a slate, but you still want to crack it?"
"You have to try as much as you want, there is a first time for everything." Chen Rui smiled slightly.
Master Anderson didn't want Chen Rui to waste time, so he took out two magic scrolls and a pen, and ended the boring debate.
