After waiting for another half day, Kael finally returned to the cave.
The cloak he was wearing was wrinkled and dirty, and his face was dusty, which was enough to show that he was not just in the sandworm market area this time.
"Sir, I've been waiting for a long time." Kael bowed respectfully before starting to talk about his experience in collecting materials this time.
"I went around several wizard markets nearby, but I still lacked some materials, especially Nightmare Crystal, which is not available in any major market store. This kind of material usually appears in wizard markets, and is only available in wizard markets.
It will be at the auction in the market. I had no choice but to go to the Sand City. This time, I was lucky. I met a friend of Instructor Aesos, who happened to have a Nightmare Crystal in his hand.
Sold to me."
After finishing speaking, Kael took out various materials one by one from his space props.
Soon, a small mountain pile was set up.
Angel took one look and was pretty sure it was correct.
However, he still checked to see if there were any unqualified materials. After a while, Angel took his hand back and found that all the materials were qualified, but...
"I listed it for you by the gram, but you really bought it by the gram." Angel raised his eyebrows: "Are you not worried about my refining failure at all?"
Kael was stunned for a moment, yes, what if the refining fails?
After pondering for a moment, Kael said cautiously: "Your Excellency, you won't fail, right?"
While waiting for Angel's answer, Kael's eyes were filled with anticipation and a hint of worry, fearing that the worst outcome would occur.
Angel glanced at Kael, stood up and began to put away the materials on the table, and at the same time said: "Why don't you clean up yourself first?"
Kael looked at his clothes up and down, said "Oh", and immediately used the cleaning technique to completely clean away the dust.
However, Kael's clothes also became wet and his hair was completely wet.
Angel was stunned. This was the first time he saw someone using the Cleansing Technique to wet himself. The Cleansing Technique is a level 0 magic that combines water and wind. Even an apprentice can accurately control the balance of the two elements. Kael
He actually made a mistake on the level 0 trick.
Kael was a little embarrassed to be stared at, so he lowered his head and said, "Wait a minute, I'll use the Firebird Technique to bake it and it will be dry."
After saying that, Kael was ready to release the Fire Bird Technique.
Looking at Kael's familiar movements, he probably understood why Doakes used the Cleaning Technique so skillfully on Kael last time. It was because this guy's Cleaning Technique was not good enough.
Angel thought for a moment and didn't let Kael release the firebird. If he did, he didn't know whether he would steam it dry or roast himself.
He casually threw a cleaning technique at Kael. This time, there was less water and more wind, which happened to dry the moisture on Kael's body.
Kael said with some embarrassment: "Thank you, sir...Actually, I know the cleaning technique, but it occasionally fails."
Angel didn't speak, but silently complained in his heart: Level 0 magic can fail, and you are also a talent.
But looking back, Kael does not rely on cleaning skills to make a living. He is extremely talented in space research. One of his strengths is naturally followed by another. This can be regarded as a way of balance.
Just like Angel's magic bread, this basic trick can also be messed up by him. It shows that no one is perfect... Of course, Angel will never admit this. He believes that there must be something in this world.
There will be someone who appreciates his magic bread, but this person has not appeared yet.
After Kael cleaned himself up, he looked at Angel with expectant eyes, and his meaning was self-evident.
Angel sat back at the table and said calmly: "Every success will lead to failure, and the same goes for alchemy. What I can do is try to control the variables and avoid failure. Otherwise, you will have to make another trip.
"
In fact, Angel has a very high probability of successfully refining it, but as long as you know this kind of thing, if something goes wrong, at least you will have some room for yourself.
Kael didn't know what Angel was thinking, so he could only nod his head and said solemnly: "My lord, we will definitely succeed!"
It is not up to Kael to decide whether he succeeds or not. It is also human instinct for him to do this. He thinks he is encouraging, but in fact he is deceiving himself and putting pressure on others.
Of course, Angel said there was no pressure and waved his hand: "Go out, I'm going to start making preparations for refining. I'll call you when it's over." Angel paused and added: "
Regardless of success or failure.”
Kael nodded and prepared to leave with his clothes. Just as he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, don't you need an assistant, sir?"
In Kael's understanding, not to mention alchemists, even magic pattern magicians need assistants to do some side work. And Angel did not bring an assistant this time, is he planning to go alone?
"No need." Angel said calmly.
Kael didn't say anything, nodded and left the cave.
After Kael left, Angel did not immediately start processing the materials, but thought about the "alchemy assistant" problem for a moment.
In fact, not only Kael, but also Master Midora and Dean Muse suggested that Angel find an alchemy assistant at Ahilie Academy when he was in Sky Mechanical City. This was a process of mutual help.
But Angel was used to doing alchemy alone, so it was really troublesome to find an assistant.
However, if you need to refine large-scale alchemical items in the future, which will take three to five months at a time, or even longer, then you will need one or more assistants.
After returning to the Savage Cave, you can look around to see if there is anything you like...or maybe just try with David?
Angel did not continue to think deeply, and was not in a hurry about his assistant. He decided to refine the alchemy blueprint in his hand first.
Thinking of this, Angel started refining preparations.
The so-called preparation is naturally not the analysis of materials or the analysis of drawings. He has already done these things. The only preparation now is...
Angel turned his head and looked at Dangros, who was soaking in the quenching liquid and enjoying it, with a smile on his lips.
...
While the alchemy was in full swing here in Angel, a big event happened on the Pamiji Plateau.
There were many participants in this matter, and almost most wizard organizations were involved. Even Rosen Yada, the "Mechanical Beast King" of Sky Mechanical City, secretly arrived at the Pamiji Plateau.
With so many high-level leaders of the wizarding organization gathered together, it was natural that something big was going on. However, in terms of public opinion, it was very low-key.
Many wizarding journals knew about this, but they kept it secret.
The reason is simple. This time they gathered together to deal with a group of outsiders, and this group of outsiders were guys that even the big bosses of the Origin World found a headache - budding believers.
This group of believers is not very capable, but they cause a lot of troubles. The most important thing is that their spread is extremely wide, and their movement speed is comparable to some evil popes. They act unscrupulously, but there is nothing that can be done against them.
Because they are backed by a disordered and unsolvable mystery: germination.
Of course, Germination can also become a non-believer and even be used by one's own side. However, if anyone touches Germination's bad luck, if they are not careful, they will be sucked into Germination and they will be finished.
Only the budding believers, this group of idiots who don’t know who created them, will recite the formula to open the budding when they disagree.
They themselves are not afraid of being sucked into the sprout. They even take the initiative to enter the sprout when there is nothing wrong. This is because they feel that the sprout is their kingdom of God and their destination. But others are afraid. No one knows what is going on in the sprout.
You know, it’s definitely not a “Kingdom of God” anyway.
So far, no one who has been sucked in by Germination, whether they are believers in Germination or others, has come out.
Even above miracles.
Otherwise, the sprout would not be called "unsolvable".
In the past, budding believers were active in other wizarding worlds, especially in the source world, so that's it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with the Southern Territory, and other places don't care about the flood.
But now, the budding believers have secretly reached out to the Southern Territory, and even used the loser's arrow to deal with the Lord of Rosen City.
At this time, the entire southern region was in a state of shock.
After various organizations communicated with each other, they all understood that budding believers are a group of absolutely harmful and unprofitable worms, and because it is difficult to completely clarify human thoughts, it is very difficult to deal with budding believers. No one knows if there are any watching around them.
People who appear normal are actually budding believers.
The most important thing is that if ordinary people master the secret to opening the bud, they may threaten the extraordinary.
Therefore, various organizations have reached a consensus: as long as it is related to Germination, it must not be publicized. Publicity will only benefit Germination believers. After all, there are many idiots and lunatics in this world.
Under this consensus, the second step is to find a way to expel Germination from the Southern Territory.
It is difficult to kill them all completely. If they can't kill them all in the Origin World, why should they be killed in the Southern Territory?
However, one advantage of the Southern Territory is that there is no direct communication with other wizard-level teleportation arrays, so it is quite closed.
It is also very difficult for people from the Germinating Sect to send a large number of believers to the Southern Territory.
Therefore, after discussion, the solution was to kill and release, control the magnitude, divide the internal forces, and check and balance each other. Moreover, even if people are "deliberately" released, they must be monitored at all times, and it is best to counterattack.
This will prevent the Germination Sect from not getting the news and continue to send people, and it can also curb the growth of Germination in the Southern Territory.
And this method also requires an opportunity.
The senior leaders of Germination in the Southern Territory have not shown up since the last time they used the Loser's Arrow to deal with the Lord of Rosen City. Some of the Germination believer strongholds discovered now are just small ones, mainly ordinary people.
What they have to deal with is not these ordinary believers, but high-level believers from the Germinating Sect.
In order to wait for the opportunity, various organizations were dormant during this period, and no one mentioned the budding matter. There were normal comings and goings, and there were enemies and alliances.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, the high-level believers were caught by the prophetic wizard.
The place they are going to is the Pamiji Plateau!
No matter what their purpose is, the eyes of almost the vast majority of powerful people are now focused on this... If the sprout is not removed, who can feel at ease?
...
The turmoil in the Pamiji Plateau was only spread among the wizards at the top of the pyramid, and was not known to the outside world. In each place, what should be done or what should be done.
Sandworm Market, Cross Bar.
Everything was as usual. The wandering wizard with the cross symbol embroidered on his body was jubilantly raising his glass in the bar and shouting "freedom" loudly.
The noisy wine bar is where these wandering apprentices brag, all over the place. However, sometimes there is some secret information that will be revealed from the mouths of these apprentices who are keen on adventure. So, if you have anything to do, come to the bar often to listen.
There are quite a few people telling stories, and there are even some non-tramp apprentices among them.
Different from the hustle and bustle of the bar, the bar has soundproofing measures and is much quieter. The tall man who was bartending drinks stirred the wine glass with a spoon and said casually: "The guy at table 11 by the window is dressed like a vampire.
The apprentice is from the Candela family. The female apprentice in the yellow dress at the eighth table is from the Watson family."
While the bartender was talking, Doakes, who was sitting in front of the bar, commented.
"The Candela family, haha, since the death of their head, there has been no successor. The strongest one can't even cross the barrier of independent apprentices, and even wears cross robes and pretends to be a wandering wizard. People in their family simply can't get over it.
He is already considered a wandering wizard."
"Watson family? It's been a long time since I heard about their family traveling abroad. Tsk tsk, they are indeed a beautiful family. I have seen the portrait of Ginny, the 'Red Night Butterfly' before, and it was truly unforgettable."
The bartender said silently: "It is said that the Night Butterfly Wizard is dead."
"Isn't it better to be dead? Even if you get beautiful things alive, you will get tired of them one day. But once you lose them and pass away alive, the beauty will last forever."
After all, what you can't get is always in turmoil.
The bartender rolled his eyes and really disagreed with this unreasonable bar owner's argument. He didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he continued to talk about the person pretending to be a wandering apprentice.
"The cloaked man at table 22, I didn't see his true face, and he didn't have a cross sign on his body. It's strange. I don't know who put him in..."
"I let him in, or rather, I invited him here." Doakes said lazily.
Bartender: "...Okay."
Doakes: "Why don't you ask who he is?"
Bartender: "Since you let him in, there must be a reason. This has nothing to do with me as a bartender."
Doakes put the wine glass down on the table out of boredom: "You are so boring. Originally, I was thinking that if you asked me, I would just answer - I won't tell you."
"But you didn't ask me who he was, so I just told you."
The bartender was speechless. Only Doakes could probably come up with this indescribably weird logic.
"I won't tell you his name, but I can tell you about his origin. He comes from...the Noah family."
When he heard "Noah's family", the bartender was mixing drinks and had a quick meal. It took a while before he recovered.
"No wonder, it turns out to be this family."
When the bartender raised his head and wanted to say something, he found that Doakes had left the bar and walked to table 22.
