Due to the impact of the sandstorm, there were not many people in the Questak Adventurer Guild.
This building looks like an old temple from the outside. It is said that it was also a temple in the past, but the specific god it belongs to has been unknown for a long time. Fang Yu speculates that it is a lesser god like Udrik. The temple of the god, his followers, and the adventurers originally had many overlaps with each other.
The ancient murals on the deep vaults have long been mottled and faded. The hall is paved with pebbles. The brown and red stones form strange patterns. There are only a few people sitting at a few round tables, most of whom seem to have little energy. The lighting in the hall was not good, and it was a bit dim. The only light came through the flower window on one side of the wall.
Some green vines hang from the beams, shining with bright yellow light.
Fang Yu did not look at the contents on the rows of bulletin boards and walked directly to the circular counter in the center of the hall. Since the large and small adventurer guilds of Kaolin-Ithurian are all subordinate to the Grand Adventurer Guild, the interior furnishings from the north of Elpaxin to the Realm of Sand in Istania are mostly the same. .
There were fewer people at the counter. There was an elf carrying a longbow handing over tasks, and a young man on the other side was consulting the staff.
Since this man actually brought two followers, Fang Pliance couldn't help but look at the other person twice, only to realize that the two followers were wearing scimitars under their robes, and they looked like desert knights. The young man noticed his gaze, turned around and nodded to him.
Out of politeness, Fang Plover nodded in return.
Then he inserted himself between the two of them. The counter number of the Questark Adventurer's Guild was marked by the sun, moon, stars, mountains and green forests. The counter where the man was located was marked by the sun, and he happened to come to the tree with emerald hangings. Marked counter sides.
The staff behind the counter was a Papalar. This was the first time Fang Plover saw a Papalar other than Parker in Kaulin-Ishulian, but it was hot in the south of Istania. areas, they are not that rare compared to the north. This male Papalar staff member was lying in a drowsy state among a pile of sheepskin scrolls. Fang Plover knocked on the marble countertop twice before he woke up, got up and looked at him in confusion.
"Is there any entrustment from the royal family?" Fang Yu asked.
The Papalar people were obviously still confused about the situation: "Which royal family?"
"Penelope Royal, of course."
Only then did Papalar wake up. He rummaged through the old papers for a while as if he were sleepwalking, and then shook his head at him.
"No."
"Really?" Fang Yu was extremely doubtful of the other party's state.
"I remembered that the royal family has not issued any tasks for half a month." The Papalar suddenly remembered something.
Fang Yu looked at the other party's appearance and confirmed that the other party was really not being perfunctory, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The royal families of various places sound unattainable and have little connection with adventurers, but the royal palaces are not all about important matters such as kings and ministers, princesses and princes, politics and wars.
In fact, the royal family also has many trivial matters. These trivial matters are usually the responsibility of the palace manager, such as helping the court warlocks to collect some rare materials, or even helping a princess and prince find their lost pets, etc. There is often a large number of things like this in each season. heap. Although he didn't know the situation in Istania, he should be a little surprised by the tone of this Papalar man.
The royal family has not issued any tasks for half a month, and Fang Yu instinctively felt that this might be related to the current events.
But I don’t know if the Sand King is really so cautious and has even considered this detail, or is it just a coincidence?
But no matter which one it is, it means that his previous plan has been temporarily shelved.
Seeing him frozen in place, the Papalar man couldn't help but ask: "Do you need any other tasks, sir?"
Fang Plover shook his head slowly.
Under the strange look in the Papalar's eyes, he turned around and prepared to leave. But when he turned around, the conversation at the counter next door engraved with the sun logo came to his ears:
"Is it true that Master Borod didn't come back?"
"Master Burrard originally planned to return this week, but no one expected this sudden sandstorm. You also know that it is unrealistic to return under the current circumstances. Your Highness Aleph, I'm sorry."
Due to the distance, Fang Yu could not clearly hear the names of the two people, but he could probably tell that the other party was looking for someone, and the person he was looking for did not seem to have returned due to the dust storm. His plan to sneak into the palace did not go well, and he was a little upset. He only accidentally glanced over there, and happened to see something in the other person's hand:
"Tower magic furnace?"
Upon hearing this title, the young man stopped and looked back at him. The other party was slightly startled, then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and asked: "Do you know this thing?"
When he saw the other person's eyes, Fang Yu was slightly stunned. When the other person nodded to him earlier, he was a little absent-minded and didn't pay much attention, but now he realized that this young man's eyes were quite beautiful, and his eyes were so bright that they seemed to be brown. Like gems.
The other party can be said to be handsome and handsome, with a straight nose, slightly curly hair, and a melancholy temperament. He is wearing a luxurious robe and beautiful satin. At first glance, it is not civilian clothing. Fang Plover Before, I just spoke subconsciously and didn't want to pay attention to this person.
But looking at the two followers beside this person, he suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart and changed his mind. This person seems to be from a high background. Although he may not really be able to help him, at this time when he has no clue, it would be good to make friends with a noble in the city and get some information.
Thinking of this, he stopped and nodded.
The tower magic furnace is a very old magic furnace, it can even be said to be an antique. This design of magic furnace was born about six or seven centuries ago. It is one of the early configurations of magic furnace. It once flourished in the Oshur Empire, and later with the emergence of a new generation of magic furnace design , and then gradually faded out of history.
The last tower-type magic furnace also exited the stage of history three centuries ago, and what this young man is holding now is exactly such a magic furnace. This kind of magic furnace may not be recognized by other people, but he is different, because the tower type magic furnace is an early classic design, and it can actually be followed as early as the era of the Numelin elves.
In his design drawings, Hayne-Farm listed scenarios for how a type of crystal should be used in a 'new' magic furnace. The 'new' magic furnace mentioned here is actually a tower type magic furnace. Of course, this elf master would never have imagined that his so-called new magic furnace would already be an outdated design after more than a thousand years.
In fact, Fang Yu spent a lot of thought on how to transform the old crystal design into a contemporary magic furnace. The idea of a type of crystal was naturally proposed by this elf master, and he really put it on paper. In reality, it was accomplished by him alone.
Because of this, he is very familiar with the structure of several types of old magic furnaces.
When the young man saw him nodding, he couldn't help but look surprised: "Are you an alchemist?"
The staff at the counter wanted to remind him something, but when he suddenly saw the five golden cross stars on Fang Plover's collar, he subconsciously stopped his mouth and even glanced at Fang Plover in surprise.
Such a young alchemist of such a high level is rare in Istania.
The young man obviously noticed this, and simply walked over with his attendants, saying in a sincere tone: "My name is Aleph, can you help me repair this magic furnace? Since you can recognize it, You must have known about this kind of magic furnace, right?"
"Repair?" Fang Yu was a little surprised. He doesn't know how to repair this thing. The core of the magic furnace is nothing more than crystal. If the crystal structure is not damaged, the other parts of the shell and the ether guide can be repaired by an apprentice. But the crystal structure is nothing to a professional crystal craftsman - although the tower magic furnace is a little off-the-beaten-path, it can't trouble him.
What surprised him was, what can be repaired about this thing? That's not to say that this is worthless scrap metal. Today, the Tower Magic Furnace can still be regarded as an antique. There are also a lot of rich people and alchemists who will collect this thing.
But the collection doesn't care whether the magic furnace can be used, as long as the 'condition' is well preserved. After all, no one would really use an antique magic furnace.
"Yes," Aleph nodded: "You should also come to the Adventurer's Guild to seek a commission. If you are willing, can you regard this as a commission? We can register this commission with the guild immediately, so that no matter what Whether it’s points or rewards, they are no different from ordinary entrustments.”
"In terms of remuneration, don't worry, we can calculate it according to the most generous one."
Fang Yu thought that this was also a rich man, and he seemed to have some identity and status. The fact that he said so confidently meant that the Adventurer's Guild would still sell him some face.
Besides, the staff on the side didn’t object.
He wanted to make friends, so he didn't object. He just nodded and said, "Let me take a look first."
Aleph hurriedly handed over the things as if grasping a life-saving straw.
As expected by Fang Yu, there was indeed a problem with the crystal structure of this tower-type magic furnace, and the core crystal inside was completely unusable.
He asked for the other party's opinion, and after learning that it could be replaced, he simply bought the materials at the Adventurer's Guild on the spot and made a core crystal - of course, the bill was paid by the other party.
He was making core crystals here, and the eyes of several alchemists who entered the hall were attracted here. They were still inquiring about the mission to see if they could take advantage. But when they heard that they were making core crystals, they couldn't help but cast surprised glances at Fang Plover.
Skilled craftsmen are rare in the border land of Istania, let alone crystal craftsmen. In recent years, the number of alchemists among the chosen ones has been steadily increasing, but the number of crystal craftsmen has not increased much. There is no other reason. This thing is a luxury item for the Grand Guild, and it requires the craftsman himself to have solid basic knowledge.
This alone eliminates most of the selected candidates, but the aborigines can calm down and develop on this road.
It was naturally surprising that there was such a young crystal craftsman at this time.
A young and high-level alchemist, he can almost be said to be synonymous with the Chosen One——
But for Fang Plover, these are all things that he has long been accustomed to, whether it is making crystals, dismantling magic furnaces, or even the tower magic furnace itself is not a rare thing. Others looked at him in confusion, but he completed the task in just three strokes, five by five, and two. After all, he still had things to do.
"alright?"
After watching him put the cover back on, Aleph asked in surprise.
There were buzzing discussions all around. If the communication hadn't been cut off right now, someone else would have taken a photo of this scene and posted it to the community. Repairing the magic furnace is not a rare thing, but Fang Plover's movements are a little too fast, so fast that it is a bit dazzling. In the eyes of others, it takes at least an hour. How long did it take?
Some people even took out their pocket watches to look at them and whispered, "It's not even ten minutes?"
Aleph also took the magic furnace with some doubts and tried to inject magic power. No matter what the method was, it could never be faked. Others also stared at this scene with wide eyes. They saw a low whirring sound coming from the old antique magic furnace, and then suddenly, the ether guides above lit up one after another.
Aleph was startled, with a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, and he quickly closed the magic furnace, as if he was afraid that if he was slow for a moment, the old antique magic furnace would be damaged again because it could not bear it.
However, Fang Yu felt that the other party's worries were purely unnecessary. How could the things he repaired break so easily?
There are many master craftsmen in this world, each with their own unique secret skills in making various types of magic weapons - in terms of master craftsman, he may not be as good as those geniuses who come from schools and have accumulated a certain amount of experience, but To repair the magic device, ever since Miss Scarpet told him the truth and compared the level of others.
Fang Yu can be said to be very confident. In this regard, he should have no opponent within twenty levels.
But what he thinks is not what others think.
Aleph was obviously very excited. He gently put down the magic furnace and couldn't help but clenched his fist.
"Congratulations, Aleph," the staff member couldn't help but be happy for him: "Although Master Boulud didn't come back, you finally solved your trouble."
Aleph couldn't help but open his arms and hugged the other person. "You're right, Oude, today is really my lucky day, Goddess of Luck. I'm sorry to trouble you with the entrustment. Please be sure to give this gentleman the best record, and the reward will only be borne by me."
People around him couldn't help but feel a little envious when they saw Fang Plover. The Adventurer's Guild often received requests, but the requests from local tycoons were rare.
"That's natural." The staff member replied with a smile and pushed him away.
However, Fang Yu was a little disapproving. It was a lucky day. If he didn't have a reason for the incident, he really wouldn't be in the mood to help the other party fix anything.
But now that he has completed his cultivation, he is not in a hurry and is waiting for his goal to be realized.
Aleph turned around again, followed the etiquette of desert people, hugged Fang Plover tightly, and said directly: "Thank you, my friend."
Fang Yu was a little at a loss for a while.
But fortunately, the enthusiasm of the desert people only went so far. After the staff registered the task for him and received the payment, he exchanged names and contact information with the young man named Aleph. Although he is determined to make friends with the other party and obtain information from the other party, of course it is not at this time. There will be many opportunities in the future.
After all, if you ask such a sensitive question right from the start, there's no guarantee that the other party won't be wary of you. You can only do this kind of thing slowly.
Since there were no more clues from the Adventurer's Guild, there was no need for him to stay any longer. But before leaving, a few adventurer teams came up shamelessly and asked him if he was willing to go on an adventure and get some materials. Their team happened to be short of a professional alchemist named Yunyun.
Fang Plover naturally refused them all.
Unexpectedly, he just walked out of the hall and heard a voice from behind.
"Wait, my friend, where are you going?"
Fang Yu turned around and saw who it was that wasn't Aleph who stopped him? The young man's brown eyes looked even more dazzling under the sun, but his long hair covered his wheat-colored forehead, making it appear slightly shadowy. However, the other party's smile was very hearty, and he walked up and patted his shoulder hard:
"Where are you going, my brother?"
Fang Plover: "???"
Why did this person develop a relationship so quickly? They were friends just a moment ago, but they were upgraded to brothers so quickly?
Brother, is it so cheap?
However, the other party obviously saw his surprise, so he took back his hand with some embarrassment, and explained with a smile: "I forgot to mention that you helped me a lot. According to the custom of Istania, I have to thank you. That’s all.”
"I've already received my reward," Fang Yu said with a purpose in mind, but he was very indifferent. "Mr. Aleph."
But Aleph shook his head: "Remuneration is reward, gratitude is gratitude, these are not the same thing."
"Okay," Fang Yu felt a little embarrassed when he saw how enthusiastic the other party was. "But next time, I have something going on right now."
He really had something to do, and it was hard to directly ask the other party if he knew anything about the palace today. The day had just passed halfway, and he was planning to go elsewhere to investigate information related to Her Royal Highness.
But Aleph smiled: "If there is anything we can talk about while walking, I know there is a pretty good tavern not far away. Look at the sky, it's almost noon, you haven't had a meal yet, right?"
Fang Yu looked at this man speechlessly, opened his mouth but no words came out.
"..."
He was speechless for a while. Are all Istanian people so hospitable? Why do they know this person so well?
