Chapter 209: The Alchemist


"The Pompeydi family's Potions Workshop has been around for more than 130 years.

Speaking of the Pompey family, it can be regarded as a famous family in the empire.

The rise of the Pompey family began 130 years ago, even before the Tulip family.

Speaking of which, back then, the Pompey family was just a second-rate business association in the empire, but the Pompeidi family produced a legendary figure nicknamed Warcraft Mountain.

This legendary patriarch was the confidant of the regent of the empire back then, and he also had a good personal relationship with His Royal Highness Du Wei, Duke of Tulip.

Originally, the Pompeydi family was only engaged in the ordnance business in the army, supplying some weapons and ordnance for the army, and would also be responsible for raising some military rations.

The Pompeydi family first started out on these businesses.

However, when it came time for Lord Warcraft Mountain to preside over the business association, this gentleman made it clear that if the family was only conservatively satisfied with being a military supplier, then it would never become a climate.

Therefore, although the empire was at war at that time, and the Pompeii Business Association made a lot of money because of it, Lord Warcraft Mountain still made a new plan for the business association, and he spent his life transforming the Pompeii Business Association from a simple military supplier to a comprehensive large business association.

At present, the business of the Chamber of Commerce involves catering, jewelry, antiques, sundries, magic potions, Nanyang specialties, food, weapons, etc., in short, almost all the industry fields, the Pompeii Business Association is involved.

The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce is currently recognized as the third largest group of trade associations in the Empire, as well as the number one supplier of munitions and the number one potions workshop. ” Pinto didn't know how many times he had said this introduction hundreds of times in more than ten years, so he said it very skillfully, and walked with Chen Daolin into the hall, and through a small door, he came to an exhibition hall inside.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Daolin actually saw something at first sight, which made him stunned.

This is a specimen of a flame rhinoceros The internal organs of the flame rhinoceros had already been hollowed out, and its body had been treated with special medicine, and it was placed at the entrance of the hall, with its four hooves spread out, making a roaring shape, lifelike.

The Flame Rhino can already be regarded as a mid-level magical beast, and such a thing is already rare.

And then, this exhibition hall has a wall, and all the specimens of the heads of demonic beasts are hung.

There's a flaming rhinoceros, an ice demon wolf, a snow fox, a sand fox, and even a griffon "To be precise, our Potions Workshop doesn't just make magic potions, but we also operate some common magic materials.

For example, some Warcraft materials.

Our Pompeii Business Association and several large mercenary groups of the empire have a good cooperative relationship all year round, and every year these mercenary adventure teams venture out to hunt magical beasts in the frozen forests or southern swamp areas, and we will buy and stock up in large quantities when they bring out the goods.

Of course, if the guest has any special needs, you can also book directly, and we will make a reward to the mercenary group according to the customer's booking needs. ” After a pause, Pinto smiled: "In the first half of the year, there was a guest who was very sorry, and in order to protect the guest, I would not be able to disclose his name.

The guest asked for a monster skin that could only be found in the South Seas, and we offered a bounty to three top mercenary groups, and then we organized a fleet to go to the South Seas at great expense, and searched the sea for two months, and finally found the trace of the monster and hunted it back. ” When Pinto said these words, his tone couldn't help but show a little pride and pride.

"In the north of the empire, the business of the Frozen Forest is basically monopolized by the Tulip family, only their caravans can enter and exit the Frozen Forest, and the other business association convoys will be blocked by those damn orcs.

However, our Pompeii Business Association also has an agreement with the Tulip family, our convoy can fly tulip flags in and out of the frozen forest, and we will also go to the Great Round Lake every year to trade with the elves, and some of the artifacts made by the elves, such as bows and arrows, magic swords, and some wood carvings, are extremely popular here. ” As he spoke, Pinto couldn't help but glance at Barossa, who was beside Chen Daolin, and laughed in a low voice: "If I hadn't looked away, this female companion of yours should have come from the shore of Dayuan Lake." ” Chen Daolin glanced at Barossa, who pursed her lips and smiled: "You are really a wise eye, I am a grass and tree elf." ” "Then on behalf of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, I welcome the people of the Elven God."

Pinto smiled slightly, and then actually stroked his chest to do an elven etiquette.

Barossa hurriedly returned the salute, and when she looked at Pinto again, her eyes couldn't help but be a little closer.

"Four years ago, for the goods booked by some guests, I personally went to the north with a caravan, and on the shore of Dayuan Lake, I was warmly welcomed by the elf tribe, and that trip is still unforgettable for me."

Pinto smiled, "At that time, I was taught by Elder Guyaro, I don't know if you know Elder Guyaro" Barossa listened and smiled lightly: "Elder Ge Yaluo is a sacrifice of the Habitat Tribe, I am not from the Habitat Tribe, but I had the privilege of meeting Elder Gyaro last year, he is a noble and wise elder. ” "May he be well, and may the god of the elves protect him."

Pinto's tone was sincere.

With that, several people walked out of the exhibition hall and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

When he walked to the second floor, he was greeted by a smell that made Chen Daolin very familiar.

All kinds of magic plants, extracted potions, these smells wafted in the air, making Chen Daolin couldn't help but show a smile.

There are rows of cabinets in the room, just like those bookshelves in the library, but the cabinets are naturally not books, but large and small bottles and cans, and some large and small boxes and boxes.

"Basically, you can find all the common magic potion materials here."

Pinto's tone was full of pride: "It can be said that the three thousand six hundred and forty-four materials that were commonly listed in the latest edition of the Magic Pharmacopoeia last year can be seen on these shelves.

Of course, some particularly rare materials are not placed, but hidden in the warehouse. ” Speaking of this, Pinto politely smiled at Chen Daolin and said: "Of course, a magic expert like you is here, I won't go into details, if you want to come to these things, you are naturally more familiar with them than me." ” Chen Daolin shook his head: "You're welcome, I'm young after all, but you've been studying this industry for many years." ” "There are three rooms on the second floor, this one is for plant-based materials, and there are two rooms inside, one for minerals, and one for raw materials extracted from Warcraft, and some miscellaneous materials."

Chen Daolin knew that Barossa was an elf, peace-loving, and didn't like to kill, thinking that there should be many specimens of Warcraft in the Warcraft Hall The specimens that he saw when he entered the door just now had already made Barossa look unbearable, Chen Daolin felt sorry for his elf, so he simply decided not to go to the Warcraft Hall, but asked Pinto to take him directly to the Mineral Hall.

Naturally, there are all kinds of magic gems in the mineral hall, from the most common magic crystals of different quality levels, to all kinds of magic gems of different castes.

Chen Daolin noticed that most of the gems here are raw materials, that is, some loose stones, and have not been made into any utensils, such as rings, wands, rings, bracelets, lucky charms and other utensils.

And there are even some that are not even bare stones, but some rough stones at all.

The so-called raw ore is the ore that has not been polished and mined, and it looks like an inconspicuous broken stone.

However, after all, Chen Daolin has the knowledge of a great alchemy expert like Mrs.

Stone, and these seemingly inconspicuous stones are piles of treasures in his eyes, and after looking at them for a while, he can identify them, and there are some valuable high-grade magic gems hidden in them.

Pinto saw that Chen Daolin was looking at it seriously, obviously not just looking at the flowers, but carefully tasting them, and couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart.

He naturally knew that unless he had a considerable attainment in magic ores, he would not be able to see any way to such a pile of primordial stones.

Even some ordinary low-level magicians may not be able to see anything from these rough stones.

After all, many low-level magicians rarely see a few high-level magic gems in their lifetime, let alone rough stones.

Chen Daolin looked at it for a while, and then couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

He sighed and shook his head.

"Master Darling, is there something wrong with this" Pinto couldn't help but ask when he saw Chen Daolin's strange face.

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

Chen Daolin frowned: "These rough stones are okay, but there is no problem."

But this mined bare stone, hey, there are a lot of problems, waste, a waste of tyrannical things."

"What, how do you say that," Pinto asked, confused.

Chen Daolin glanced at Pinto, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I don't know these bare stones, are you going to use them to make tools?"

"Hmm" Pinto's tone was a little twisted, and then he smiled bitterly, "We don't dare to think of it."

These loose stones were only mined, polished, and then sold, and we don't know what the people who bought them were to do with them, whether they were only made into amplification rings, bracelets, or set in what magical equipment. ” "Sure enough."

Chen Daolin shook his head: "That's why I said, it's a waste." ” After a pause, he casually pointed to the jewel in a glass case on the table, a fiery red gem the size of a fist.

"This fiery ruby looks like it's intimidating.

Such a big size is rare in terms of volume, and the quality is not bad.

When Chen Daolin said this, Pinto glanced at it twice, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is a good thing for us here, it was mined from a mining area in the depths of the southern swamp, and the quality has reached the intermediate level four. ” "Unfortunately, you shouldn't have mined it."

Chen Daolin shook his head: "If the rough stone is transported over, it will be fine." ” Looking at Pinto's puzzled eyes, Chen Daolin said: "Mining rough stones and polishing gemstones, this kind of work seems simple, but you must know that magic gems are not ordinary gems, it does not mean that you can just find a jewelry craftsman to mine and polish gems." ay Your stone is big enough, but what can such a big gem be used to inlay a wand Fourth-level gem, the inlay wand is really too bad.

A better magician would not choose to use such a low-grade gem to set it, it was large and heavy, but its magic power was not as good as a sixth-level gem that was less than one-tenth of his size.

What magician would think would be willing to hold such a large stone in his hand all day long?

Fourth-level gems, generally speaking, are used as base materials for some ordinary magic arrays.

You look at this fire ruby, although its quality is generally up to the intermediate level four, but there is also a difference, its right corner here, the color is darker, from the point of view of texture, it should be able to reach the fifth level, which is one level higher, but the difference is big The fifth-level gemstone can barely be made into a ring face and can be set in a ring.

But I look at the traces of your gem polishing, this corner has obviously been polished, I think, the polishing of this stone should be the craftsman in your workshop, it must not be a magician, since it is not a magician, I am afraid that when polishing, I can't see the subtleties of the fourth or fifth level, as long as I accidentally grind off a little bit of the size of a sesame seed when polishing, it will be too much loss. ay The most valuable thing about your stone is the corner on the right, but unfortunately half of it has been polished off.

The whole piece of the rest is nothing more than the part of the base material. ” When Chen Daolin said this, he didn't care about Pinto's face, and casually pointed to another yellow stone.

This is a golden fiery diamond, which can be regarded as a treasure among magic gems.

"The color of this gold filigree is very good, but it's a pity that you haven't done it well."

Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "There are a total of three gold wire fire diamonds on this table, if I am not mistaken, these three fire diamonds should be a piece of raw material and then you cut it yourself."

Pinto was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again: "Hello, your eyesight is exactly like this."

Our craftsman said that although the raw material was a large piece, the quality of the raw material was uneven, and some of the quality was poor, so he simply cut it.

The poor quality is cut into two pieces, and the good quality is a single piece, so that when it is sold, it is easy to distinguish. ” "What shouldn't be cut, what should be cut, but not what should be cut."

Chen Daolin sighed.

Then he said slowly: "This kind of thing is a rare fire gem.

Pinto, you have also studied magic, for any fire mage, the gold wire fire diamond is the mage's favorite thing, your gold wire fire diamond, if not cut, the volume is enough to be inlaid on the wand If it is an inlaid wand, the emphasis is on the output of magic power, in fact, you don't care much about the subtle color difference of the gem itself, but you are so everything, but the difference in color is cut out, but after you cut it out, these three gems, just take it out and make a wand inlay, too small, The mana output is obviously not enough.

Let's make a magic array, use a golden wire fire diamond to make a magic array, I'm afraid only a magic master would be so extravagant.

As for other rings, they are too big, and once they are cut, they will be wasted.

The only option is to do some inlays on the equipment.

You see, it was originally a very good wand inlaid with gemstones, and you have to do some magic equipment scraps because of everything you have, you say, isn't it a pity?"

When Chen Daolin said this, he suddenly closed his mouth and looked at Pinto.

Pinto was dumbfounded, his forehead covered with cold sweat, his hands hanging down, and his fingertips trembling slightly Seeing Pinto's appearance, Chen Daolin couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "Pinto, Mr.

Pinto" Pinto seemed to wake up suddenly, his body shook, and then looked at Chen Daolin with an unbelievable gaze, took a deep breath, and his voice actually trembled a little: "Da, Master Darling, I, I take the liberty of asking, may I ask you, do you delve into alchemy?"

When Chen Daolin heard this, he smiled: "I can't talk about studying, but I'm just a little involved in alchemy." ” Pinto listened, and stared at Chen Daolin for a long time with a complicated look.

Finally, he let out a long breath.

"Mr.

Darling" Pinto solemnly bowed, and when he raised his head, his face was full of sincerity: "Thank you for the mention you just made, if it weren't for your point, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of it if I died."

Although I had studied magic, I knew nothing about alchemy, and I only knew a little about magic theory and potions.

But the magic weapon alchemy is completely ignorant.

Over the years, the development of the Potions Workshop has been at a bottleneck, but I thought that our raw materials were selling well.

But today, when you say this, I suddenly woke up, and over the years, I don't know how many good things have been scrapped in my hands."

Pinto looked sorry.

Chen Daolin was a little curious: "Hey, isn't there a magician consultant in your workshop, after all, you are in the magic materials business, even if you know some magic theory, but after all, you need a magician to sit here."

The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce is a big business, can't it recruit a magician?"

"Wizard advisors, there are two."

Pinto smiled bitterly: "One is from the Magic Guild, and Ping said that he only came to see it occasionally.

The other is a perennial worshipper, but he is only a low-level mage, but fortunately, he is very proficient in potions. ” Pinto said this, his tone became more and more helpless: "You also saw just now, we only have some rough stones and bare stones here, in fact, why don't we want to do the business of finished artifacts to sell rough stones to earn a piece of rough stone at most three or five thousand gold coins, but if it is made into magic equipment, the price code can be added to the back of a zero" Chen Daolin nodded: "This is not bad." ” "But," Pinto smiled bitterly, "but I can't find a magician who can make weapons." ” "Oh," Chen Daolin looked at Pinto suspiciously.

Pinto also frowned and said: "Isn't it obvious, although there are magicians, but alchemists are not common, alchemists are the rarest and rarest type of magicians."

If you know how to make alchemy, even if it is a low-level mage, you will be regarded as the most welcome VIP by the wealthy, and you can enjoy the best treatment Alchemist is really rare, and to become an alchemist, it is several times more difficult than other types of magicians, an alchemist, to be familiar with all the magic theories of all departments, and have profound attainments, and at the same time proficient in potions, proficient in all kinds of magic minerals, magic creatures, magic theories, magic elements, and various material principles, It is also necessary to possess great skill and genius in the idea that in short, an alchemist is almost a magic jack-of-all-trades.

Such characters are becoming more and more rare nowadays.

In the whole of Yanjing, there are alchemists with names and surnames, and they can be counted on one hand, and these people, some of whom are noble, will never be hired by us, and the others are held in the hands of other wealthy families, like thieves to prevent outsiders from poaching."

When Chen Daolin heard this, his face couldn't help but become more and more strange.

He also knew alchemists, which seemed to be relatively rare.

However, he never imagined that alchemists would be so scarce After all, Chen Daolin is not a native of Roland, and his knowledge of magic and his understanding of the situation in the wizarding world all come from the memories of Madame Stone.

But because Lady Stone is an alchemist herself, she herself doesn't think how rare she is.

After all, people don't particularly cherish and value what they already have.

In addition, the person in the magic field that Chen Daolin dealt with the most was Lucius's little kid, who was also a two-and-a-half hanger who didn't have any hair, where did he know so much So no one had ever told Chen Daolin that alchemists were so scarce in the Roland Empire Pinto looked at Chen Daolin, and suddenly his eyes showed a sense of fanaticism: "Master Darling, I want to ask, this question is very presumptuous, but I still don't know, what level of your alchemy has reached?"

"Realm" Chen Daolin touched his nose: "My mage qualification should be able to pass the intermediate level soon, but alchemy, I don't know how to measure it." ” As he spoke, he suddenly patted his head, then reached out and touched it from his arms, and found a handful of things.

It's all magic rings, rings, bracelets, charms, lucky charms, and so on.

These are all magical equipment that Chen Daolin usually has nothing to do and makes by himself, some big and some small.

He had never taken these things too seriously himself, and his magic gems had come too easily.

Unexpectedly, Pinto took out this ring bracelet and other things, and Pinto only glanced at it, and almost fell to the ground with his eyes "This, these are made by you, by your own hands":
