The prosperous long street, fluttering flags, and the flow of people like dragons.
There are various shops on both sides, from magic materials to magic plants, from tricks to spells, from weapons to armors, from special research to analysis of potions... Walking through it, it seems that the mystery of the wizarding world can be peeled off bit by bit like peeling a shell. Exposed to everyone.
However, when you think you have seen all the mystery, you find that this is just a tip of the iceberg exposed on the sea surface. You will never imagine what kind of giant will spread out from this small tip of the iceberg under the dark sea.
Angel walked along Munces Street, comparing the prices of various materials. After determining the price range, he compared the quality of the materials and made sure that they were in line with what he wanted before starting to buy.
This visit is more than half an hour. During this period, Angel found that the shop here has many restrictions.
For example, some shops clearly have a hard condition: only wizards can enter.
These are mostly shops of certain spell books, or high-level transactions that only wizards can involve.
Angel is naturally not qualified to step into this kind of shop. Even if he is curious, there are magic energy arrays at the gates of these shops to check the power. Those who cannot reach the wizard level and forcibly break in will be injured at light, and dead bodies at worst. As for the degree of punishment, it is purely a matter of whether the owner is kind or not.
Similar hard conditions, in addition to the distinction of power levels, there are many.
For example, Angel saw an exquisite villa shrouded in a thin layer of smoke, with a store sign of "Fan Xing Yi Chuan" hanging at the door, and a line of words clearly written below the store sign: Refuse to enter in male form.
If it just "refused male entry", but it has written a "male form", does it mean that you can enter if you transform into a female form
When Angel was thinking like this, he saw a beautiful woman come out from the inside. Just after leaving the store, she turned into a burly man.
Angel: "..."
In other words, what's the point of such a bizarre request? Angel is more curious about what Neri sells, but he also doesn't know about transfiguration. I don't know if I can pass the level by simulating the female form with illusion
Answer: No.
Angel asked the magic beholder who was standing at the door. After getting the answer, he could only leave in embarrassment.
This kind of strange request is not too high for men, either injecting blood that can be changed, or only relying on Transfiguration, but the difficulty of Transfiguration is like tears, except that the official wizard has such a long life to study, Apprenticeship basically completely eliminates the possibility.
There are many similar strange requests. For example: humanoids cannot enter; people under the age of 200 cannot enter; non-magic weave wizards cannot enter... and so on.
The above are all hard conditions, and some stores are relatively soft conditions.
For example, in a shop that sells medicines, there is a magic servant standing at the door. You can enter as long as you express "compliment to the Van der Waals school and disdain for other schools" to the magic servant.
There is also a comprehensive store dedicated to serving alchemists, and you must answer some necessary tests before you can enter it.
These soft conditions are all adjustable in scope. Even if there are many wizard-level items in it, as long as you meet the conditions, apprentice-level ones can also enter.
Angel is now at the entrance of this comprehensive shop serving alchemists, with a signboard called "Nail Alchemy House".
Although the name is a bit strange, but the shop looks very big, and the traffic of alchemists is very large, Angel walked over.
The demon attendant standing at the door is a fragrant wood puppet. Compared with the puppets that Borgula refined from living people, the carving of this fragrant wood puppet is not fine. If it were a little fatter, it would look like a tree human.
The demon waiter first asked which branch Angel belonged to, epicology or pharmacy. Then, after confirming that Angel was an alchemist specializing in enchanting, he fiddled with a few supplementary corners of the magic pattern for Angel to identify.
"This is the most common supplementary pattern on the element side magic pattern. It can be used..." When Angel was about to explain how to use it, he was interrupted by the magic attendant: "The answer is correct, and it is not necessary to explain the guest in detail."
After Angel answered the names of the remaining lines, the Demon Attendant let him go.
If Angel has the information card of the Sky Machine City, the magic servant can directly register the information card, so that Angel will not have to answer questions when entering the store in the future.
Angel did have an information card, but one was anonymous, given by Sanders; the other was handled by him incognito, and his name was "Milk Baron". The former has no name feature, so it will not be registered. In the latter case, if the Demon Attendant wanted to register the information card, he would have to use his shameful name to register, so Angel thought about it and directly stated that there was no information card.
After entering the store, when Angel was still looking at the furnishings of this large store, he found that there were many eyes with measure, all of which were directed at him.
It was a group of apprentices in alchemy robes, sitting on wooden chairs beside them, talking and chatting while glancing at him.
Angel looked puzzled, wondering what they meant
Just when Angel was wondering, a hoarse and old female voice entered Angel's ears.
"Welcome, young alchemist."
Angel looked back, but saw that the speaker was a short old lady who suddenly appeared in front of the counter.
This old lady was about the same height as Shan, at most reaching Angel's waist. He was a little plump, wearing a blue jeweled skirt, and his head was clean and tidy.
This little old lady also has the most notable feature, which is that a fan-shaped hairpin like a peacock is inserted into the bun on the back of her head. This hairpin is very large, almost half the size of her head, and the "peacock feathers" on it are particularly special, with pieces of brightly colored nails.
Looking at those nails, Angel subconsciously glanced at the little old lady's hand.
Sure enough, on her hands that didn't match her age at all, the style and color of the nails were exactly the same as her hairpin.
"Hello, esteemed lady." Angel gave a half-salutation, because he couldn't see through the little old lady's cultivation. If it wasn't deliberately hidden, it was probably a wizard-level existence.
"Are you curious why they are staring at you?" The little old lady stretched out her finger, revealing her bright red nails, and pointed to the group of alchemy apprentices sitting on the edge.
When they saw the old lady pointing at them, they immediately turned their heads and went about their own business. Judging from this reaction, the identity of the little old lady is definitely not simple.
Angel remained calm: "I would like to hear the details."
"Because they eavesdropped on the conversation between Niha and you. By the way, Niha is the fragrant wood puppet at the door." The little old lady motioned Angel to sit in front of the counter: "Although the circle of alchemists in Sky Machine City is not small, but Everyone is knowledgeable and curious about an alchemist who suddenly arrives."
Angel: "Understandable."
The little old lady's eyes suddenly flashed: "Especially, there are not many alchemists who learn enchanting. In our circle, the most popular alchemist recently is an alchemist who almost came into contact with the mysterious level, and I heard that he is also an alchemist. Enchanted."
Angel smiled lightly and didn't answer.
The little old lady didn't point it out, but introduced herself: "I forgot my name myself, everyone calls me Nail Granny, the owner of this small shop, I don't know what customers want to get when they come to my shop? "
The little old lady's statement made Angel unexpectedly familiar.
"I wonder if the owner and Granny Tiejia know each other?" When Angel met Granny Tiejia, the other party introduced himself in the same way.
Granny Nail: "Mother-in-law from Ironclad Fort? I've heard her name, but I've never seen her before."
Angel nodded, it was just a guess, so there was no doubt about it.
"I want to buy some materials, but I don't know if it's available in the store?" Angel then stated the materials he needed, most of which were treasured magic materials that he hadn't seen outside.
After listening to this long list of materials, Granny Nail said with a strange expression: "Young people have very high aspirations."
In this pile of materials, epigraphy and pharmacy are encapsulated, and the genres are also different. It is no wonder that Granny Nail responded so.
Angel didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile and nod.
"There are a lot of treasured materials in here. If other alchemy apprentices come to ask, I won't sell them. It's a waste of money. But if it's you, it's barely enough... I heard that Midora is still teaching you. Pharmacy? No wonder you buy these magic plants." Granny Nail said lightly.
From her words, Angel knew that her identity was probably no secret in her eyes.
And she actually knew that Midora was instructing him on pharmacy? This is something Sanders has never asked about. Obviously, she has a relationship with Midora. Thinking of this, Angel's attitude towards Granny Nail is more respectful, and she is also secretly suspicious of her identity.
Soon, Granny Nail took out two disposable space soft capsules from the background: "This one is for medicine, and the other is for epigraphy."
Angel nodded and sensed it with his mental power.
A few minutes later, Angel had something in his mind and asked about the price.
"A total of 13,590 magic crystals, count you 13,500."
As soon as the price came out, the alchemy apprentices who eavesdropped on this side all widened their eyes. Even if they have a skill and are not short of magic crystal flowers, there are more than 10,000 magic crystals, which is not the number they can come up with! You must know that many high-level alchemy props are not worth 10,000 magic crystals!
Angel made an estimate by himself, and it was almost the same price. These materials, he originally planned to go to other stores to buy separately, to avoid attracting attention. But the quality of the materials given by Granny Nail is the best that Angel has ever seen.
Between the choice, Angel still chose to buy it here. The price is reasonable and the quality is excellent. He really has no reason to refuse.
Angel's one-time payment made many alchemy apprentices suspicious of his identity. Originally it was only a seven-point guess, but now most of them are sure of his identity.
Angel had even heard someone mention his name, and there was a vague sense of respect.
It seems that his reputation in the alchemy circle is not so bad. This is also true, after all, they are also in the alchemy circle, and the news is more circulated than the outside world.
"I don't know if the guest needs anything else? There are many precious alchemy handbooks of famous alchemists here. Of course, if you want to learn some specific knowledge alone, I can also provide it." Granny Nail said.
Alchemy Codex? This is the most precious thing an alchemist can ever sell
When Angelo asked, he found out that these alchemy codes are not for sale. If you want, you can exchange your knowledge.
Although Angel has a complete alchemy system, and even many ancient alchemy schools, such as the Alchemy Codex, which records the details of experience is very lacking. However, he asked about the exchange premise and found that many of the knowledge exchanged in the Alchemy Codex are very high-end, the core content of a genre, and it is not worth exchanging.
Anyway, the experience can be accumulated slowly by myself. It’s a big deal to take a few wrong paths. Anyway, the general direction remains unchanged, and it will eventually go on the right path.
Thinking of this, Angel stopped thinking about buying the Alchemy Codex.
However, he does need some things, but not knowledge or materials, but some tailoring tools for alchemy clothing.
