At night, in the garden of Caesar Manor, there was a lamp, a bottle of ice-cold wine, and two books. Bing Zhixie sat at the stone table and read the book intently. Occasionally, she poured a glass of wine, ate two ice cubes, or made gestures.
magic.
"Master." Alice walked into the garden and said, "I'm still reading."
"I'll finish reading this paragraph again." Bing Zhixie didn't raise her head, still watching carefully.
Alice sat across from Bing Zhixie, took the wine bottle and cup, and poured herself a glass. Seeing that her master was reading very carefully, she didn't dare to disturb him, and just sat quietly and watched.
After a while, Bing Zhixie closed the book and rubbed her eyes: "What, is it very late?"
Alice said: "Well, it's already ten o'clock." She added: "You were in a good mood during the day. Is there anything you are happy about?"
Bing Zhixie said: "When I read the experience of dark magic, there are always many things I don't understand. Today, after I found several books on the analysis of dark elements and ancient terms in Caesar's library, I suddenly realized it."
"Is it such an exaggeration?" Alice said: "Master, didn't you know some dark magic before? For example, your strongest magic fighting skill 'Moon Wheel', and dark invasion and so on."
Bing Zhixie shook his head and said: "This book on dark magic is written by the great sage from Shengyuan who specializes in dark magic, and he is also a dark magic dancer. There are many strange terms and words in it.
There are even many ancient expressions that I don’t understand.”
"So that's it." Alice said, "Can master understand it now?"
Bing Zhixie said: "After I finish reading all the books, it should be almost done. And I found that there are many precious magic books about ice elements in Caesar's library, many of which I have never read.
.I want to read all those books while I’m living here, so you’d better try not to disturb me during this time.”
"Ah, if you don't play with me, then I'm so boring." Alice said.
Bingzhi Xiehan said with a cold face: "It seems that you have gone too far these past few days. There are so many books here at Caesar. Don't you know that you should study by yourself? Read more books and practice your fighting skills? Don't you always have to
Let me teach you, I don’t know much about fighting skills."
When Alice saw that her master was really angry, she didn't dare to speak out.
Bing Zhixie said: "There are many guards here at Caesar who have good skills. Don't always think about playing. If you have time, learn more from them. There are not many opportunities to learn from them during the journey. You must know how to cherish and make use of them."
"
Alice lowered her head: "Yes, Master." After a while, she asked again: "Master, didn't you say you came here to find an alchemist to help us refine equipment? Uncle Caesar is the most famous alchemist in the world.
We can ask him for help."
Bing Zhixie said: "I have also thought about this matter, but you see Lord Caesar is so busy every day, and the materials I have are very precious and rare. Not to mention refining, just conceiving the refining plan will cost a lot of money.
A little time. As you said, he is the most famous alchemist in the world. If we ask him to help us refine things, it would be fine if the reward is just money, but if it is anything else, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it."
Alice smiled and said: "Isn't there still me? I am the princess of the Demon Moon Empire, so I can promise him the reward first. In fact, Uncle Caesar has a very good relationship with our Demon Moon Empire, so he will not be with us
It’s about remuneration. Because of this, when my father asked someone to make gold for my brother, the crown prince, he didn’t ask Uncle Caesar, but instead asked Hulda.”
Bing Zhixie said: "Then I can't even ask him to make alchemy. I don't want to owe anyone else."
"That's it." Alice thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't you find someone else? There are many top alchemists gathered in Alainsa now."
Bing Zhixie said: "I'm not familiar with the alchemy world, and I don't know who is better at alchemy. And now they are all busy participating in the alchemy competition, and I'm afraid they don't have time to accept business. I think after the competition is over,
Then I will hire someone from among the winners to help me refine the gold. In this case, I think I can hire him to accompany us temporarily and refine it on the road."
Alice said: "Then we can find Wright."
Bingzhi smiled evilly and said: "Yes, but we have to wait until he proves his ability. I don't want to hand over the materials that I have worked so hard to get to a low-level alchemist."
"Ho ho ho ho ho ho..." A burst of laughter came, and the fat Caesar walked into the garden with difficulty, smiling.
Bing Zhixie stood up and bowed and saluted: "Lord Caesar." The others had already noticed that someone was nearby.
Caesar smiled and said: "Princess Alice, Mr. Bing Zhixie, I heard what you just said. Don't blame me for being rude and eavesdropping. I also heard you talking about me, so I just listened for a while." He said: "
I've been quite busy recently, but it's not like I can't find any free time. If you need alchemy, I can come up with a plan first, and you can do it when you have time. If you really don't have time, the plan I think of should be better than others.
It’s better. And I can also find someone to refine it. Don’t forget that I am the minister in charge of alchemy. There are many excellent alchemists in our empire.”
Alice said: "That's great." She pulled her master and said: "Master, tell Uncle Caesar quickly."
Bing Zhixie said: "Actually, I also have this idea, but I see that you are too busy, sir, and have been unable to speak out. Since you are willing to help, let's talk about the remuneration issue."
Caesar said: "In terms of remuneration, I will only charge you gold coins. Since you don't want to owe others, then I will calculate it according to the normal price. Generally, when I refine gold once, the base price is 1.5 million gold coins. The specific price depends on
It depends on what you are practicing and the plan I have conceived, and you have to pay for the important materials yourself. If you don’t have those materials and I do, the material fees will have to be charged according to the market price.”
Bing Zhixie thought for a while, nodded and said, "I want to make a set of scale armor for Alice. The main material is black dragon skin."
"Master!" Alice looked at Bing Zhixie. She didn't expect that the first thing the master thought of would be her.
"Black dragon skin." Caesar was a little surprised. He knew the value of black dragon skin in the alchemical world: "Use black dragon skin to make scales..."
"What?" Bing Zhixie asked, "Is there any difficulty?"
Caesar said: "Using dragon skin and dragon scales to make armor requires a large piece of dragon scale skin. It's okay if it's incomplete, but it must be large enough to make one piece of armor."
Alice said: "No problem, that dragon scale skin, let alone one scale armor, is enough to make three or four, and it's not the kind that comes from a dragon." Rodman from Nightmare Knight
She had seen the dragon scale skin obtained from Garcia, it was seven or eight meters long.
Caesar's eyes lit up: "A whole piece of dragon scale skin is a rare treasure." He thought for a while and said: "Using dragon scale skin to make clothes is the most difficult thing, and it is also very easy to say it is easy.
, then it depends on how to do it.”
Bingzhixie said: "I know what you mean, the 'fresh' dragon scale skin has super strong elemental and magic immunity properties, and it is extremely difficult to use it as a material to refine and cast."
Caesar said: "I have used 'fresh' dragon scale skin to refine things, and I have some experience. If I really want to refine it into a piece of scale armor, I don't know how long it will take, but I think it will take at least a few years."
.And the cost is not the price of 1.5 million, 2, or 3 million gold coins, because just refining the dragon scale skin requires a lot of time and consumes countless materials."
Bing Zhixie said: "I also understand this, so I just want you to deal with it briefly and strengthen its abilities appropriately so that it can be more suitable for Alice to use."
"It will be much easier this way, and it won't take much time." Caesar thought for a while and said: "Princess Alice is now a practicing warrior..., yes, I can do it for you. As for the cost, wait until I think about it.
Let’s talk about the plan, but first you have to bring me the piece of dragon scale skin to take a look at.”
Bing Zhixie said: "The black dragon scale skin is deposited in the bank. I will give it to you tomorrow."
"No, no, no." Caesar said, "Just now."
"Now?"
Caesar said: "I have something to go out tomorrow and may not be able to come back for a few days. I can just take the time to think about the alchemy plan at this time."
"But the bank is closed now." Alice said.
Caesar smiled and said: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that this is my manor? There is a branch of the World Bank in my manor, and their staff live in my territory and can be picked up at any time."
Alice jumped up happily: "OK, let's go quickly. I'm really looking forward to the dragon armor made of dragon scales!"
