I didn't expect that the Castle Governor would come up with such a bad idea, and Roger immediately refused: "Last time I used the Soul Conjuring Banner to absorb the power of the Death Lord's soul, I almost died. [] If I do it again this time, maybe I can do it again.
I really gave up, no, no, no!"
In that duel with the Death Lord, Roger barely used the Soul Conjuring Banner to eliminate the enemy, and he was almost exploded by the huge energy. It was good luck to survive that time, and he didn't want to try it again. After all,
Luck is not a guaranteed thing.
"That situation occurs because I don't know enough about this magic item." The Castle Master explained patiently: "I have been studying this magic item recently and found that if I can combine it with the soul gem, the soul will be destroyed."
Gemstones can absorb excess energy on your behalf without causing any harm to you."
After hearing what the Castle Master said, Roger's frown relaxed slightly. For him, this was definitely good news. Even if he needed to use the summoning flag in an emergency, he wouldn't have to risk his life.
. However, Roger quickly thought of another question, and still shook his head and said: "Even if this is not possible, who should I use the soul-calling flag on? It may not be used in Mandos City, right?"
"I have also considered this issue." The Castle Master said proudly: "I found that this magic item has a wide range of uses. Not only can it absorb the soul power of living creatures, but it can also absorb and utilize the soul power of those remaining in space.
.When we equip it with soul gems, we only need to find a place where a large number of creatures died in the past, such as the Desolate Land and the Bone Prairie, and we can get enough residual soul power to build a training ground!"
The Castle Governor had said this, and Roger couldn't help but object again. He quickly made a decision: "Okay, in this case, we will first find a way to get the soul gem, and then find a place to absorb the power of the soul."
!”
There were only two months left before the strength test of the Knight School. Time was very precious for Roger, so he quickly left the Duke's Palace and went to find Master BASF, one of the most famous alchemists in the capital.
BASF lives in a manor on the outskirts of Mandos. It is said that this manor was given by King Alonso III. Not only is the building very luxurious, but the entire manor covers an extremely vast area. According to the official statement, this is because His Majesty the King expressed his concern for
Because of the respect of BASF, the master alchemist, this large manor was specially given to him.
However, many nobles who know the inside story know that the reason why Alonso III did this is entirely for other reasons. The weird alchemy experiments that Master BASF usually does are too dangerous and often cause terrible explosions.
, and also affected other nearby residents. Several fires caused by explosions even burned down entire residential areas.
If an ordinary person had caused such a big disaster, of course he would have been beheaded long ago, but it is impossible for the Kingdom Theory to do this to a master alchemist. In fact, not only can the Kingdom not blame BASF, but it also has to spend money to appease those people.
Residents whose homes were destroyed. After the same thing happened several times, even Alonso III couldn't stand it anymore, so he built a manor for BASF outside the city. Although explosions would still happen, at most they would be alchemy.
If the master's own house is blown up, at least it won't affect others.
Bebasv is a good at destroying things, but his reputation as an alchemist is really famous. Many noble ministers and wealthy businessmen will come to him to buy various potions. For example, recovery potions, healing potions, and murder potions.
Poisons, delicious detoxification potions, and even potions that enhance male function. In short, as long as you can think of potions, you can order them from BASF masters.
Of course, there are some people who come to customize magic equipment. As long as you can pay enough, even the magic ring Roger is using now, BASF can make a similar one for you.
In short, this master of alchemy is different from Master of Puppetry Addison. He doesn't care whether you like it or not. As long as you can pay a sufficient price, this master of alchemy is very happy to provide any work. To put it bluntly, he is a money addict.
Because of this, BASF's manor is like a big market for alchemical products. Although it was getting late when Roger arrived, it was still very lively with people coming and going. A servant took Roger to a
I sat down in the lobby, handed over a catalog politely, and then left quickly to greet other guests.
Roger opened the thick catalog and found that it was full of names and prices of various alchemy products. He couldn't help but admired in a low voice: "Wow, the varieties are quite complete."
The catalog ranged from the simplest potions to high-end magic props, which made Roger secretly sigh that although the BASF master was greedy for money, he really had some skills. However, when he knew the prices behind these products, his admiration immediately changed.
became angry.
"Oh my god, this guy is really evil!" Roger muttered to himself in the catalog he was working on: "A bottle of primary healing potion costs two hundred gold coins, which is too expensive."
Roger's words were heard by the guest next to him. The guy glanced at him with extreme contempt and said sarcastically to the servant of a manor next to him: "Master BASF is good at everything, but he is a little too kind. No matter what,
Anyone who comes to the manor will be left alone. There are some poor people who find even basic healing potions too expensive, why let them in? Such people can’t afford anything, and they will only ruin the good mood of other guests!"
"Oh no, this is a naked slap in my face!" Roger heard this guy's words clearly, and his heart inevitably felt a little unhappy. But getting the soul gem was important right now, so Roger could bear it.
I quickly continued to flip through the catalog, hoping to find what I needed.
BASF did not disappoint Roger. He actually found the Soul Stone in the catalog. However, when Roger saw the price, he almost jumped on the spot.
"Five...fifty thousand gold coins?!" Roger looked at the string of numbers behind the soul gem in disbelief, and involuntarily raised his voice: "It's better to rob it openly!"
This number is equal to ten times Roger's current cash. No wonder he was so shocked. The guest looked at Roger and deliberately sneered: "A poor man is a poor man, he can't even get out 50,000 gold coins!"
"I'll bear with you for a while, it's important to get the soul gem." Roger reminded himself not to be impulsive, and waved to a servant in the manor: "Come here!"
Although the servant also thought Roger was a poor man, BASF had always held them to the standards of store clerks, one of which was to provide the best service to customers regardless of whether they had money or not.
So although the servant felt sorry for Roger, his attitude was still very respectful. He quickly came over and bent down and asked: "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"The soul gem is so expensive, can it be cheaper?" For Roger, price is undoubtedly the most important thing.
Before the servant could speak, the guest had already interjected with disdain: "What are you talking about? When did Master BASF negotiate the price with anyone? If you don't have money, just get out of here. Why stay here and embarrass yourself?"
What this customer said is true. The quality of the items manufactured by BASF is very good, and the price is naturally not cheap. For this old money fanatic, glittering gold coins are his favorite. Even if he wants something, the king has to pay.
As for other customers, of course, it is impossible to bargain.
After listening to Roger's words, the servant smiled apologetically and said to him: "I'm sorry, sir, Master BASF has repeatedly warned that there is no bargaining on the price of his works."
Roger also knew that there was no hope of buying the Soul Stone cheaply. Fortunately, he was prepared before coming here. He immediately took out an envelope sealed with wax and said: "Please give this envelope to Master BASF.
Ask him to open it immediately. This matter is very important, and the envelope must be delivered to the master as soon as possible!"
Seeing Roger's serious look, the servant didn't dare to neglect him. He quickly took the envelope and hurried to find BASF. However, the guest was not used to his pretending to be mysterious and laughed at him for a while.
On the surface, Roger still looked calm and calm, as if he didn't care about it. In fact, he hated this arrogant and condescending guy. Looking at the other person's happy expression, Roger thought to himself:
"I will make you proud for a while first, and then I will make you unable to cry anymore!"
There is a reason why Roger is so confident. The envelope he asked his servant to give to BASF contained the magic pattern drawn from the inside of the puppet's collar. This was the alchemy geek Castandin Makarici back then.
It is a painstaking work, and the magic pattern on it is definitely a good thing that other alchemists cannot buy even if they have money.
Although the envelope contained only a small part of the magic pattern, Roger believed that as long as BASF would be able to come up with some clues, he wouldn't be afraid that he wouldn't come to him.
Roger's test was correct. Not long after he waited, the servant hurried back, bowed to Roger first and said: "Sir, Mr. BASF invites you to go to his private laboratory. He is waiting there."
Your Majesty!"
Everyone can tell that this servant's attitude towards Roger is much more respectful than before. Before, he was only polite to Roger, but now he is respectful from the bottom of his heart, and even has a hint of fear. This makes everyone even more...
Surprisingly, the master from BASF actually met Roger in his private laboratory. This is a treatment that even His Majesty the King has never enjoyed!
