Haimi crossed his legs and leaned on the leather stool. He held his chin in one hand and was deep in thought, while playing with a magic pinball with the other hand. He threw the pinball out from time to time. Every time the colorless pinball hit the ground or wall,
The marble will change its color. After bouncing several times, the brightly colored magic marble will return to Haimi's hand.
The characteristic of the magic pinball is that no matter how it is thrown, it will bounce back to the owner's hand.
This is an alchemical gadget, mostly made by beginners in alchemy.
"You have time to play magic pinball, why not help me check these material application reports." A fat apprentice sitting at the front desk counted the missing materials on his fingers, while also recording them and sending them to the headquarters.
.
"This is a task given to you by Old Man Burrow, not me." Hemi said impatiently.
"It's not your fault. You applied for all kinds of things. Last time you secretly applied for something... a music box? It made old Burrow have to be approved for several days, but this time he asked me to check the application report.
"The fat man retorted.
Haimi hummed twice: "You ordinary people don't understand, that is the trend, the standard equipment of literary wizards. Listen to music, feel the illusion, drink a glass of wine, blow in the breeze... how pleasant it is."
"You said you are a practical person, why do you act like an academic person?"
"I can't fight all day long. I have to have fun when I'm fighting, and I have to be refined when I'm resting." Haimi proudly talked about the quality of life that a refined boy should have.
"Stop talking, I don't want to listen to your words and disturb my train of thought... Hey, why did Mr. Burrow apply for a copy of "Mirror"? Isn't it for official wizards? Will the superiors approve it?" Fatty
He scratched his head and said doubtfully.
"You just have too few verification reports. "Mirror" is published every year, and its readers are the majority of apprentices. It is mainly to introduce new official wizards, publish some general magic tricks, and announce policy changes.
"Haimi pouted: "It's quite early this year, so I don't know what big news there is. By the way, Fatty, can you secretly help me apply for a blood shark service?"
"No." The person who spoke was not the fat man, but the old man Burrow who came from outside the door on crutches.
"Why? My hands are itching here, and I want to go to the sea to kill some monsters. The final materials must be handed over to the headquarters." Haimi complained.
"There is no quota." Because he had to cross the steps, Burrow held up his white beard with his hands, otherwise the beard would be swept to the ground.
"Then we should withdraw "Mirror". Anyway, the changes are almost the same every year."
Burrow shook his head: "This year is different. We have a new official wizard in the Savage Cave. I heard that he comes from the exterminated Silian family, called Madeline of the Violent Thorn. You guys need to identify the sect first, and wait.
In the future, I will go back to the Savage Cave so as not to recognize anyone... Moreover, there is a genius alchemist from this department. I heard that he is now on the "Mirror" while he is still an apprentice. You should also take note of it. Maybe you will ask for help in the future.
.”
"I can't find it anyway, and there's no point in writing it down. I still want a blood shark suit." Haimi protested dissatisfied.
"Okay, you think these are not important, so what matters about the lives of our apprentices should be important, right?" Burrow hit the floor with his crutch several times, attracting the attention of all the apprentices in the hall: "I just asked Got some news, you should know about the death of the Sleepless City, right? Now, great changes have occurred in the Kingdom of Evernight, and parasites have even drifted to the Pamiji Plateau. It is very likely that our Savage Cave will also be affected, so this issue of "Mirror" You must read it and see what it says.”
Hearing this, everyone looked solemn. Other minor details could be ignored, but they had to pay attention to matters related to their own future.
After Burrow finished speaking, he walked over to the fat apprentice and carefully checked the application name.
"The materials, utensils, books and other supplies are all here. It looks almost ready. You can go and apply for a summons." Burrow motioned to the fat apprentice to go to the top of the building to send a summons. He sat down at the table and took out a pen to write the starting route schedule. Come.
It took more than half an hour to write. When the fat apprentice came back, he hadn't finished writing yet.
Haimi leaned over and took a curious look: "Old man Burrow, why are you writing this? Why are they all about the route chart from the Baleen Sea?"
Burrow took advantage of his pen to absorb ink and replied: "Mr. Pat, who took over the task of being a guide, will cross the Devil's Sea this year, so he will definitely come back next year or the year after that. I just went to Baibei Shipping Company to inquire This is the timetable. After all, he must know the route and turn when he returns to Fan Continent, otherwise he will get lost in the devil's sea without guidance."
"Why don't you just tell him the addresses of Baibei Shipping's branches in various continents and let him find it on his own?" Haimi disagreed. He still had a trace of resentment in his heart towards the person who deceived his feelings. .
"I have to write down the address, but I can help a little bit. I see that Mr. Pat is not an ordinary person." Burrow said while writing.
"Of course he is not an ordinary person. Isn't he a wizard apprentice?"
"Don't be so talkative. What I mean is that there are a lot of inconsistencies in him. He obviously looks middle-aged, but sometimes he feels a little uncomfortable. And last time he showed you the leader mission on the bone card, He also deliberately blocked his personal information, which is a bit strange." Burrow thought for a moment: "But I can't say what's strange about it. Anyway, it's right to help more. Even if he is really an ordinary apprentice, he has opened up a new network of contacts. Already."
"With his dejected good-for-nothing appearance, how can there be anything worthy of attention?" Haimi sneered coldly: "Typical academic style, others may not recognize your good intentions, and all your efforts are in vain."
After Haimi finished speaking, he ran to the side and continued playing magic pinball in a daze.
Burrow shook his head and continued to write down the route schedule, clearly recording Baibei Shipping Company's possible sailing locations and time points next year.
Because the news was so fragmented, it was already dark when Burrow finished writing.
The hissing fire-core oil lamp illuminated the hall in a bright yellow color, making the already somewhat old wooden building look even more timeless.
The sea breeze blew in from the window at night, lifting the gray-black rag curtains and bringing the unique fishy smell of the ocean.
Blown by the quiet sea breeze, Burrow finally put down his pen.
Burrow looked at the night outside. It was so late, and it would be inappropriate to go find Pat now. Even if extraordinary people rarely sleep at night, if they happened to sleep that night, it would cause conflicts if he disturbed them.
.
Burrow decided to go tomorrow, since there were still two days before Mr. Pat left.
but……
"The Yunluo will set sail in two days. Mr. Pat stayed in his room for three days and didn't come out. What on earth was he doing?" Burrow asked doubtfully.
Burrow looked at Haimi, who was so bored that he was napping, and asked: "Haimi, when you were delivering food to the place, did you notice what Mr. Pat was doing?"
Haimi stretched out: "Forget it, that guy was cutting clothes. When I walked in, I saw a lot of silk threads on the ground that I didn't know where to get, and some clothing width samples were thrown on the table. That's it.
Just like a girl."
"Don't be ridiculous. Tailors are not exclusively women. Many great tailors are men." Burrow retorted casually.
"So he studied clothing making?" Burrow thought to himself, and suddenly thought of something: "Can you see clearly that the cloth he cut and the silk threads are magic materials?"
"Of course I can see very clearly that they are all mortal things. The silk thread is very high-grade. If it takes one step further, it may become a magic material. But at this step, he is destined to be a mortal material." Haimi said with a smile: "
You don’t think he is an alchemist, do you? Where can there be so many alchemists? You are thinking too much.”
Burrow also nodded: "Yes, the alchemists in our Savage Cave are indeed too few compared to the Mechanical City."
As the night passed, Burrow took the flight schedule to the guest room on the third floor.
When he came downstairs, he stroked his beard and frowned secretly: Hemi was right, Mr. Pat was indeed cutting boards and cutting clothes, and the materials he used were all ordinary materials... But, it always felt like
It's a bit strange. Those utensils placed on the workbench seem to have been seen somewhere before?
Burrow shook his head, shaking off his idle thoughts.
Anyway, he has done his good deeds, and Mr. Pat's gratitude to him just now was also very sincere. I think he should be able to develop a network of contacts, and the rest doesn't matter.
After Burrow left, Angel in the room properly put away the sailing timetable.
He originally planned to ask Burrow to inquire about the extraordinary strongholds in various continents to avoid getting lost when he came back. Unexpectedly, Burrow found out all the routes for the next two years.
Judging from the thickness of the record, it can be seen that Burrow spent some effort.
Angel also understood Burrow's general mood. An old apprentice whose life span was about to come to an end hoped to seize every opportunity and find some chance of promotion.
Although he knew that Burrow had a purpose, Angel did not hate this kind of utilitarian contact. On the contrary, he would have some questions and worries about the kind of unprovoked kindness.
Angel did not continue to think about Burrow, but started to deal with what was at hand.
These days, because he was in other people's territory, he couldn't continue to experiment with illusions. He didn't want to waste time, so he simply put his planned tailoring on the learning agenda.
Angel originally planned to learn how to make clothes when he was in the Savage Cave, but various things delayed him, and he only started to get started now.
However, speaking of it, this craft is relatively simple in alchemy, at least for Angel, because he is currently majoring in enchantment. A ready-made garment can be made into some basic styles even if it is directly enchanted.
.
However, if you want to make the finished product advanced, there are many things to consider. For example, certain texture concepts in the magic energy array require the use of corresponding specific materials when enchanting, and the attributes must be consistent. Cortical
The texture and veins must also be inherited, which restricts the selection of some materials for Enchanting Alchemy in clothing.
There is no such difficulty in blending alchemy. You can design your own ideas as you like. Of course, blending alchemy is more difficult than enchanting alchemy.
Due to the constraints of enchantment alchemy, it is actually very difficult for Angel to perfectly recreate the robe he designed.
For example, he wanted to refine a robe that could maintain a constant temperature. He originally designed silk as the basis for carrying magic patterns, but there were many patterns in the constant-temperature magic patterns that meant: sun, luminescence, heat...
Silk cannot carry the constant temperature magic pattern at all, and it will start to burn as soon as it is painted.
Therefore, it is not easy for him to design an alchemy robe that looks good, is made of suitable materials, and has the functions he needs.
Using enchantment to make clothes is easy to get started, but very difficult to master.
