Grandmaster Marshall's words immediately made everyone present look differently.

Disol's thick black eyebrows were wrinkled into a "川" shape, and he kept rubbing his hands, showing that his heart was not as calm as his face looked.

And Alehan sighed deeply in his heart. Lord Levi had extraordinary skills in alchemy, but he was a little too young. He was provoked by some people's words and tempted by external things, and he readily agreed to the other party's request.

You know, what they set up are all traps! Now that the contract has been signed, it is very likely that the good situation will be reversed. After hearing the evaluation of Grandmaster Marshall, the fish man prophet and Nasaruddin looked at each other.

They all saw smiles in each other's eyes. If there weren't so many people around, they would have burst into laughter.

However, as time goes by.

Richard's series of smooth operations on the alchemy table changed the expressions of the audience below again.

Richard was seen holding a red bean-sized devil horned frog egg in his left hand, and then holding a thin needle in his right hand, which he inserted steadily into the egg wall and began to slowly extract the highly toxic egg fluid.

The whole process is as smooth as flowing water!

But any alchemist who has come into contact with the devil's horned frog eggs knows how difficult it is.

Because the egg wall on the surface of the devil horned frog eggs is soft, smooth and elastic, and in order to maintain its activity, the mucus on the surface of the egg wall is not cleaned in advance, in order to ensure the activity of the eggs.

In this case, the slender needle was inserted steadily in just one go. This display of skill has a sense of simplicity and ingenuity!

In the previous game, when Richard was making the Thick Scale Potion, he tried to complete the potion as quickly as possible because he had an opponent like the Murloc Prophet.

But this time, he had no opponent. He was the only one on the alchemy table, so it didn't matter whether he was fast or slow.

He just needed to steadily produce the golden horned frog eggs, so Richard deliberately slowed down the production pace and only exerted 70% of his strength.

But even so, the alchemists watching below were dumbfounded! "This doesn't look that difficult, does it?" an intermediate alchemist said suspiciously.

Because he saw that Richard's whole set of movements seemed very smooth, neither fast nor slow, giving people the feeling that it was not difficult and seemed a bit simple.

Indeed, Richard's seemingly slow but actually fast operation was extremely confusing! A senior alchemist next to him said with a serious face: "You haven't reached that level yet, so you can't understand. However, I suggest you take a devil horned frog egg and try to pinch it with your fingers."

The suspicious intermediate alchemist was half-believing and half-doubting, and immediately went to the supply staff to get a demon horned frog egg.

But the next second, his expression changed. He wanted to pick up an egg with two fingers, but he was surprised to find that he couldn't pick it up. It was too slippery! ! After trying several times in a row, he finally picked up a horned frog egg . That's right! It's not pinching with two fingers, it's holding! Then, when he looked at Richard on the alchemy table again, his face was full of horror!

Grandmaster Marshall stared at Richard's operation on the stage, stroking his white beard, his face full of smiles, and sighed in his heart, what a pity, what a pity! ! He didn't meet this young human boy earlier, otherwise, he would definitely accept him as his apprentice! It's a pity that he met him too late!

Now, the other party's alchemy skills have reached perfection. In a few years, he might be able to compete with him.

After a while, Richard's production of golden horned frog eggs was successfully completed! At this time, the fishman prophet and Nasarudin looked extremely ugly! When Richard took a plate of golden horned frog eggs, walked down the alchemy table, and was about to hand the finished product to the alchemy master Marshall, a dry voice sounded.

The fishman prophet Gorkan said with a reluctant look on his face: "Sir Levi, according to the tradition of our Tokar Lake fishman tribe, after the golden horned frog eggs are made, the pharmacist must take the first one himself."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood the reason.

"Of course!"

Richard agreed with this point very much. If a pharmacist didn't even dare to be the first to take the mental power growth potion he made, then he would be a failure.

Besides, who would dare to buy the potion you made in the future! After agreeing immediately, Richard grabbed a handful of golden horned frog eggs and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them like eating fried candy beans.

Such a confident performance immediately made the crowd of mid-level and high-level alchemists watching on the scene spontaneously applaud! You know, this was not a pre-planned move, and no one was behind the scenes fanning the flames.

Seeing this, the fishman prophet Gorkan looked ashen!! He knew how confident he must be to do this.

"Haha, Lord Levi, give me one too!" Disol walked forward and shouted loudly.

As soon as Disol said this, the middle and senior alchemists who were originally watching and applauding were also impressed by Richard's skills and came forward to ask for the golden horned frog eggs to taste.

You know, this thing is not available on the market.

Although they knew the top-secret formula, it was impossible for them to make it with their strength. Even if they succeeded once after trying thousands of times, it was still unclear whether they would dare to take it! Seeing Richard's expected look, Nasaruddin forced a smile on his livid face, walked forward, and handed the fist-sized flame essence in his hand to Richard.

"Master Li Wei's skills are amazing. This flame essence is a gift to the master. I hope I can have the opportunity to cooperate with the master in the future."

Richard glanced at the extremely forced smile on Nasaruddin's face, reached out to take the Flame Essence, and said with a smile: "You're welcome. Thank you for the gift, Lord Nasaruddin!"

At this time, a gray dwarf maid also came forward holding a plate, and a round badge shining with silver light appeared in front of everyone.

The badge is exquisitely crafted from pure mithril, and features a goateed gray dwarf holding a short staff in one hand and a hammer in the other, seemingly representing the founder of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

"Sir Levi, this is the mithril emblem of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood that represents your status and treatment. It will be presented to you by Grand Master Alchemist Marshall." Alehan accompanied Grand Master Marshall forward with a smile on his face.

Grandmaster Alchemist Marshall gently placed the Mithril Badge on Richard's chest, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are an outstanding young man. I look forward to your better performance!"

Richard bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master Marshall. I will continue to work hard."

"Thank you too, Mr. Alehan!" Richard also turned his head slightly and greeted Alehan.

At this moment, Richard couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, the purpose of my trip to Tug City was achieved, and even slightly exceeded.

At that time, I can use this mithril emblem to search the huge database of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood for the information I need and learn some secrets!

Although Disol had exchanged some knowledge about the second and third level source blood with him before, he still had no idea about how to identify the source blood.

Although there are many masters in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood who are proficient in the knowledge of blood modification, this dragon's blood cannot be seen in public, and what if it is identified as the source blood of some kind of dragon.

With the initial strength of a first-level wizard, he possesses the blood of a third-level or even higher-level creature. This is a way to death.

According to the saying in the previous life, it is like a child carrying gold through a busy city, and it is a crime to possess a treasure! Therefore, I have only one choice, to identify what kind of dragon's blood this source blood is and what level it belongs to.

After the crowd dispersed, the fishman prophet Gorkan came to Richard with several fishman wizard apprentices and bowed deeply, saying: "From today on, the Tokar Lake fishman tribe will serve Lord Levi as their master."

Richard nodded and said, "Come with me back to Lord Desol's residence first. I just happen to have something I want to know from you."

Just now, Richard actually wanted to ask Disol about the flame crystal and the giant fire element, but then he changed his mind and realized that he had already gained the surrender of the fishmen from Lake Tokar.

Obviously, he could first get a preliminary understanding of the situation from the Murloc Prophet.

What's more, he can now enter the archive of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood at any time and look up a large amount of secret information.

If the puzzle is still not solved by then, I can still find Disol or Alehan, or even visit Grandmaster Marshall. ——Half a day later.

Richard sat on a large mahogany chair, playing with the flame essence he had just obtained. Two fishmen stood respectfully in front of the desk.

"Owner!"

Looking at the fishman prophet Gorkan, who also looked respectful and called Richard his master, Fingart couldn't help but sigh.

This man is a master of the same generation as his teacher. Unexpectedly, he has become his master's slave and is ranked below himself.

"Gorkan, first tell me the information about this flame essence and giant fire element."

"Yes, Master."

"Nearly a thousand years ago, the gray dwarf wizards discovered that there was a huge secret realm sealed under the ground of Tug City, called the Scorched Earth Secret Realm."

"The entire secret realm is filled with powerful elemental creatures, including fire elementals, earth elementals, and even some kind of elemental fusion monsters - magma monsters, etc. The strength of an ordinary fire element alone is comparable to that of a mid-level wizard."

"Due to the restrictions of the secret realm's rules, wizards will be automatically dispersed once they enter the secret realm. Therefore, every time they enter, they have to spend a lot of time to gather together. Even with the rare communication magic tools, the gray dwarf wizards have never been able to explore this secret realm on a large scale."

"According to what we know so far, first, this secret realm is extremely vast, and as you go deeper, it becomes more dangerous. A second-level wizard even saw a third-level high-energy elemental creature, a lava giant, in it."

Richard nodded as he listened.

"So, things like the Flame Crystal and Flame Essence all come from this Scorched Earth Secret Realm?"

"That's not the case. When a fire element reaches the first level of strength, flame crystals will appear in its body. There are many places and secret realms in the Underdark where first-level elemental creatures exist, and first-level fire elements are occasionally found among them."

"So, the Flame Crystal is not unique to the Scorched Earth Secret Realm."

"However, the situation with Flame Essence is different. As far as I know, Flame Essence has not been produced anywhere else except the Scorched Earth Secret Realm. I heard that Flame Essence is only produced in the bodies of second-level giant fire elements."

After a pause, Gorkan added, "A second-level giant fire elemental can usually only be killed successfully by a second-level great wizard."

Richard began to understand why the price of flame crystals was so high, and the second-level flame essence was even more expensive.

Flame crystal is the best item for stimulating the first-level blood essence. It is consumed in large quantities, but its production in other places is extremely limited. Therefore, this is why the number of wizard organizations in Tug City is almost as large as that in the gray dwarf imperial capital.

Not to mention the second-level flame essence, which is a specialty of the Scorched Earth Secret Realm and is naturally more precious!

It is no exaggeration to say that if the flame essence in Richard's hand were to be sold, it would definitely attract a rush of buyers! "Well, there is one more thing, Gorkan, why are you so anxious to get the mithril treatment?" Richard asked while habitually tapping the armrest with his fingers.

"Master, this is a long story." Gorkan bowed slightly, as if thinking about where to start.

After a long time, Richard also understood why the Murloc Prophet Gorkan, a high-level alchemist, was so anxious to obtain the Mithril-level treatment of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

It stands to reason that a high-level alchemist can do well anywhere, not to mention that Gorkan is the head of a clan! Before explaining the reason, we must first talk about the issue of treatment levels. The Gray Dwarf Brotherhood divides treatment levels into four levels: Gray Iron, Bronze, Mithril, and Fine Gold. There are huge differences in authority between each level.

Take the Mithril-level treatment that Gorkan strives for.

Mithril-level treatment is available to second-level wizards or professionals who have reached master-level skills in a certain field after joining the Brotherhood. In addition, you need to accumulate contribution points continuously, and gradually upgrade from gray iron or bronze to Mithril.

Mithril-level treatment includes the right to borrow first-level wizard-related knowledge from the database for free, the right to borrow second-level wizard-related knowledge for a fee, and a series of other rights.

Finally, if the one who enjoys Mithril-level treatment is a master of craftsmanship and has relatively weak strength, the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood can also arrange for special combatants to be responsible for security protection.

This last item of mithril-level treatment is actually what Gorkan values ​​most.

If any organization or individual attacks a member of the Brotherhood with Mithril-level treatment, it will be regarded as declaring war on the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

Once he received Mithril-level treatment, the safety of the entire Lake Tokar Murloc tribe would be implicitly protected by the huge wizard organization, the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

Because, recently there have been several incidents of blood sacrifices being conducted on entire tribes around Tug City.

At first it was just a small tribe and Gorkan didn't take it seriously, until yesterday, when a medium-sized tribe was subjected to an entire blood sacrifice.

Especially since this tribe is the Blackwater River Murloc Tribe, which has always had a good relationship with Gorkan. The other side's prophet is also a master with strength reaching the level of a formal wizard, and is on par with him, but unexpectedly, he could not escape the disaster this time.

This immediately made Gorkan feel the crisis!

Although this incident has attracted the attention of the official forces of Tug City, the mastermind behind it has not been found yet.

Hearing this, Richard couldn't help but frown. He had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple.

He had a premonition that this matter was like a whirlpool in the water. As time passed, the whirlpool would grow bigger and bigger, and one day he would be sucked into it. (End of this chapter)
