Caesar was hiding under the wooden table, looking for something, with only one exposed leg twitching from time to time, as if to indicate that he was not suffocated yet.
Caesar crawled out from the pile of debris, holding a crumpled black paper in his hand. Judging from the material, it looked like the skin of some kind of creature.
"This is Helu's map, left behind by an unlucky ghost before he died."
Caesar looked at Su Xiao with a mean smile on his face, and rubbed his fingers, meaning to give him money.
"You are welcome."
Su Xiao took out the map from Caesar's hand and started to look at it.
Generally speaking, Heru can be divided into three areas, the Holy Silver District, the Bone Harbor, and the Mist Cemetery.
The Holy Silver District is where Su Xiao is now. The Wizards Association is stationed here. There are large residential areas around it. It can be said that the Holy Silver District occupies four-fifths of the area of Helu City.
Bone Harbor is also a residential area, but it is a slum. The public security there is very chaotic, so chaotic that even the Wizarding Association cannot manage it, or in other words, it does not want to manage it.
In places like Helu City, overly strict management will only cause backlash, so places like Bone Harbor appeared, where scum, criminals, and desperadoes gathered.
In Bone Harbor, no one wants to take the initiative to cause trouble. Those who are expelled there are not good men and women. If you provoke a ruthless person, you may get a dagger and be stabbed through the head.
As for the Mist Cemetery, it is the smallest in area. It is the residence of crazy wizards and is also the public cemetery of Helu City.
You must know that more than 90% of the civilians in this world cannot afford to buy a coffin. The most they can do is to wrap it with a straw mat and then bury it in the ground to become food for rats and underground insects.
Over time, bones can be seen on the surface of the Misty Cemetery, and ordinary civilians dare not go there.
The Holy Silver District, Bone Port, and Mist Cemetery make up Helu City. There are no perfect laws here, so you'd better be careful if you want to live.
If you want to gain the reputation of the Wizards' Association, you have to do something that contributes to the Wizards' Association, such as turning in extraordinary materials, or eliminating some wizards who have defected, etc., in order to gain the reputation of the Wizards' Association.
With the level of communication in this world, finding those wizards who have defected is almost like finding a needle in a haystack.
As for preparing alchemical potions through alchemy and handing them over to the wizarding society, this is not advisable. The process for wizards to gain power is too simple and fast, and they will not be too eager for alchemical potions.
"These are the only ways to gain prestige from the Wizards' Guild?"
Su Xiao threw a soul crystal fragment into his mouth. He has eaten a lot of soul crystal fragments since entering the wizarding world. This can increase his soul strength, which has been permanently increased by 21 points.
"It's not that the easiest and fastest way is to go to the sewers to clean up rats."
"mouse?"
"That's right, rats. The overrun of rats in Helu City is no longer a matter of a day or two. Killing a rat can gain very little reputation."
"This place...has a sewer?"
"Well, yes, the buildings in Helu City have existed for hundreds of years. It is said that they were built during the Old King's era."
"..."
Su Xiao felt that it might be feasible to kill rats in the sewers, but the efficiency would not be very high.
"Can the wizards' potions be obtained?"
"Yes, 200 to 300 silver coins per bottle, the most inferior kind..."
As soon as Caesar finished speaking, he suddenly turned to look at Su Xiao, his sneaky eyes seemed to be shining brightly.
"I forgot, you are the master of alchemy, holy shit!!"
Caesar slapped his thigh with all his strength, making himself wince in pain.
"Ah hahaha, those stupid wizards are waiting to go bankrupt."
Caesar began to dance, but after thinking for a moment, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured on his head.
"We don't have the formula for the potion. Besides, potion is not alchemy. The two are not the same at all. I'm sure of this."
"..."
Su Xiao glanced at Caesar, who defended loudly as if he was being stabbed and insulted:
"With my level of alchemy, Caesar, I can't decipher the ingredients of the potion at all. Although your alchemy is a little better than mine, but..."
Caesar hesitated for a moment and took out a flat glass bottle ten centimeters long and as thick as a finger from his arms.
"This is a second-class potion worth 283 silver coins. Be careful."
Caesar handed over the potion with a pained face.
【Enlightenment Potion】
Origin: Wizards' Guild
Quality: white
Type:Special
Effect: After drinking this potion, guided by special rituals, formations, and energy, your potential will be amplified and you will become a gray wizard.
Tip: During the drinking process, the drinker will bear a huge mental burden and physical mutation. If the mind or body collapses during the period, the drinker will die.
Rating: 10 points
Introduction: It is a very difficult potion to prepare. It has side effects that cannot be eliminated after drinking it, and the spirit will gradually become crazy. This characteristic has caused the quality and score of this potion to be greatly reduced, and it has fallen six grades.
…
Under Caesar's desperate gaze, Su Xiao uncorked the 'Enlightenment Potion', took out several small instruments, and began to analyze the ingredients of the potion.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao threw the potion back to Caesar and tore up a sketch.
"The difficulty is not high, but the preparation process and certain materials cannot be analyzed. If there is a magic potion formula, it is not difficult to prepare this thing."
Su Xiao basically has a general plan to gain reputation in his mind, but this requires Caesar's cooperation.
"Magic potion formula..."
Caesar looked troubled, and after some inner struggle, his expression became fierce. Obviously, Caesar was not a good person either.
The two teams of Contractors and Hunters were both dead, and Caesar who was traveling with them was unharmed, which explained a lot of problems.
"Get at least 2,000 points of reputation from the Wizards' Guild, and we'll change the recipe for the 'Enlightenment Potion' in the reputation store!"
Under normal circumstances, there is no way that a prestige store will have a magic potion formula. Even if it does, it will not be so cheap. Obviously, Caesar is planning to operate from it and use unconventional means to exchange for the magic potion formula.
"You provide the materials and sales channels. I want 30% of the silver coins earned. But one thing is that for every bottle of potion sold, there must be an equivalent increase in reputation."
"make a deal."
Caesar calculated the income in seconds. After excluding costs, Su Xiao received three-fifths of the net profit, and he accounted for two-fifths.
Caesar has to play many roles in this transaction. Although he is greedy, he knows one thing. Without Su Xiao's alchemy knowledge, he would not be able to get a single silver coin. Knowledge = wealth.
"My dear friend, if Caesar dies, remember to get me a coffin, and don't bury me in the Misty Cemetery. That poor place is haunted."
"Woof~"
Bubou Wang's slightly vibrating cry came, and Caesar looked at it in confusion.
"Leave it to you here."
Su Xiao patted Caesar on the shoulder and walked out. The first thing he wanted to do was to kill rats in the sewers, not for reputation, but to confirm his suspicions.
It is already clear that things have developed to this extent. The first thing is to gain merit. When the merit reaches the secret level, you can meet the three immortal wizards. After that, you can find clues about the 'Dominator' from the immortal wizards and bring the 'Dominator'
Find it, then kill it, and the second ring mission is completed.
"My dear friend, wait a minute, let me show you something good."
Caesar waved his hand, and a virtual screen appeared in front of Su Xiao.
【You have opened the reputation store.】
[The reputation store is locked...]
[Due to the authority of Nicholas Caesar, some items are already redeemable. 】
1. Immortal Contract (number of followers that can be expanded: 1.)
Price: 175,000 silver coins.
Prestige exchange prerequisite: arcane level.
…
2. The ashes of the old gods (can summon the old gods to assist in the battle, the old gods exist for 30 minutes).
