Chapter 195
Early the next morning, Richard sent Fingart to inquire about the situation of the wizard organization in Tuge City.

Naturally, there is not much confidentiality level for this kind of news that is known to all wizard apprentices. After a while, Fingart came back to report to Richard before Disol woke up.

Basically, it was exactly the same as what several of Dissol's favorite concubines said, which made Richard feel confident that joining the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood could indeed be his first choice.

After all, with a senior first-level wizard like Disol as a guide, he will definitely be at home in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood and it will be easier for him to obtain the resources and permissions he needs.

And if you choose another large-scale wizard organization and no one introduces it, the first step of the qualification review will be very troublesome. You are not a human from the Underdark, but from the surface. Once the other party gets to the bottom of it, you will definitely get involved.

Secondly, if there is no one to introduce or guarantee, then you can only climb up step by step, and the speed of obtaining resources will be corresponding, which is definitely not as fast and convenient as in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

After making up his mind, Richard no longer considered the issue, nor did he rush Dissol. Instead, he took a blank parchment and slowly started writing something.

Stephana took a curious look and found that the owner was drawing some utensils, and noted a series of words such as "barley", "fermentation", "hops or substitutes" and so on.

It seems to be a blueprint for brewing some kind of wine?

It was almost noon before Disol woke up.

But once he regained consciousness, he soon became sober. It can be said that after drinking and before drinking, there were two Dissols.

The former is the drunkard Disoor, and the latter is the senior wizard Disoor.

After waking up, Disol quickly took Richard to the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood's station in Tuge City.

Along the way, Richard wanted to ask Dissol about his question last night, about why there were so many wizard organizations in Tuge City, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to bring up this topic now.

If everything goes well, it will be more legitimate for me to raise this question after I officially become a member of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood in the afternoon.

After a while, the two came to a tall building covering a vast area. It was a three-story square building. Although it was only three stories, it looked particularly tall and solid.

He was indeed tall. Looking at the nearly ten-meter-high gate and the nearly 15-meter-high ceiling on each floor, Richard couldn't help but feel speechless. How come a gray dwarf who is less than 1.4 meters tall likes tall things so much? He really loves it.

At the gate, there were many wizards and wizard apprentices coming and going.

Seeing so many people coming in and out, Richard couldn't help showing a surprised expression. You know, he had just made a rough estimate and encountered more than ten members of the official wizard level coming in and out, and even more wizard apprentices.

If so many wizards join every day, the strength of this Gray Dwarf Brotherhood will be too terrifying.

Apparently, Dissol noticed Richard's face and introduced with a smile:
"Haha, Sir Levi, are you surprised?"

"Because today is the last day of the month, it is the monthly assessment day. All members who have made enough contributions or whose skills have been greatly improved, and who want to improve their treatment within the organization, will come here today for verification or assessment, so that Determine the treatment level again.”

"Also, the wizards or wizard apprentices who want to join the gray dwarf brotherhood within a month will also be assessed today, that's why there are so many people."

Richard understood it after hearing it for a while.

It turns out that not all the wizards who came in and out came to apply to join the brotherhood, but many were internal members who came here today to upgrade their treatment level.

As they walked, Dissol continued to introduce enthusiastically:
"If the newly joined official wizards are strong enough and pass the assessment, they may skip the gray iron level at the beginning and directly enjoy the treatment of the bronze level."

Hearing this, Richard couldn't help but frown. Obviously, he didn't know what the gray iron and bronze treatment was about.

"Your Excellency Li Wei, are you curious about what this gray iron and bronze level treatment is about?"

Dissol smiled mysteriously, "His Excellency Richard will naturally know after a while."

"Besides, Sir Richard doesn't need to understand these low-level treatment."

After the two entered the hall, a beautiful gray dwarf maid came up to her. After a brief look, Richard sensed the aura of the third-level wizard apprentice.

"Sir Dissol, you finally returned to Tuge City. You picked it up last time."

Dissol waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about this later. Let me think about it. The person in charge of the alchemist assessment now should be Alhan! That's right! It's him. By the way, little Celia, Alhan Are you at the station?"

"Yes, Lord Dissol, Lord Alhan is in charge of arranging the assessment today. A group of alchemists who have recently applied to join the organization will be assessed today."

"In addition, several members of this batch who want to improve their treatment level also need to be assessed and tested. Mr. Alhan is currently in the assessment hall. Do you want me to take you there?"

Dissol waved his hand and said: "No, little Celia, she is getting more and more beautiful. Say hello to your mother for me."

The little maid's face blushed slightly, and she seemed to know that there was some scandal between her mother and Lord Dissol in the organization.

Richard thought he was going to the second floor, but to Richard's surprise, Disol and Richard actually spiraled down the stairs.

The assessment hall is actually underground, which is an unexpected design.

After the two of them walked down two floors in a row, they passed through a corridor and suddenly became enlightened.

In an empty hall, dozens of wizards and wizard apprentices of various races gathered together in twos and threes to chat, seemingly waiting for something.

On one side of the venue is an empty hall, and on the other side are various rooms. Various utensils can be faintly seen inside, which seem to be alchemy rooms.

Richard made a general observation and found that among the group of people participating in the alchemy examination, there were about seven or eight people who had reached the official wizard level. Most of the rest were at the third-level wizard apprentice level, and they were generally older.

The oldest among them should be an old man from a certain fish-man tribe in front of him. The fish whiskers around his mouth are all white, and he is holding a huge fish bone magic circle. He is trembling when he walks. There is a strong young fish-man beside him. Supporting.

This is too old!
The fish-man old man could easily be over a hundred years old, but his strength seemed to be only the limit of a third-level wizard apprentice, not even as good as Richard himself.

"Every month or several months, the Brotherhood will organize applicants to undergo unified assessments, including combat, alchemy, inscriptions, witchcraft and other categories. These are alchemists who plan to pass the alchemy assessment to join the Brotherhood. "As if seeing the curiosity in Richard's eyes, Dissol continued to introduce.

"Basically, applicants need to have at least an intermediate professional title as a stepping stone, such as an intermediate alchemist, an intermediate inscriptionist or an intermediate rune blacksmith, etc., in order to meet the registration conditions. Otherwise, they will not pass the qualification review after registration."

Richard nodded to express his understanding.

This requirement was not low. He remembered that in the large blacksmith shop in Gray Fern Town, the most skilled master only had the title of junior rune blacksmith.

If you have an intermediate professional title, you can basically support opening a weapons shop or equipment shop in a city, and the income will be far higher than that of an ordinary blacksmith shop.

"However, Your Excellency Levi, you don't need to worry about these cumbersome regulations at all. Your master-level alchemy strength is beyond doubt, and Alhan is an old friend of mine. Don't worry, we will complete the corresponding procedures soon."

"Then, we can have another drink!" As soon as Dissol mentioned drinking, he immediately became excited.

Although the square on the underground floor was empty, some wizards and wizard apprentices who came for the assessment seemed to have heard Disol's words. They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Richard and Disol, and frowned with disgust.

Richard reacted immediately and touched his nose. Unexpectedly, he was thought to be someone who used the back door.

However, Dissol is really a pig teammate, and he is still used to saying that he is undisciplined. When talking to him like this, there is no sound insulation technology!
Continuing to walk forward, Dissol shouted: "Alhan, I'm here to see you!"

"Desol! It's rare for you to come see me." An old dwarf with a long goatee stood up from a large chair and said with a smile when he saw Disol.

Judging from the aura, it seems that the opponent's strength is still higher than Dissol.

The two hugged each other fiercely, and it seemed that they had a good relationship indeed!

Human wizards on the surface are completely unaccustomed to this way of greeting with physical contact, but gray dwarf wizards still cannot help but embrace this habit.

This time Dissol seemed to have realized that there were many people around waiting for the assessment, and he immediately used a sound isolation technique to cover himself, Alhan and Richard.

"Alhan, I came to you this time to recommend a talent to you."

This caused a gleam to flash in the eyes of the old man with the goatee,
"Oh~ Is this your Excellency?" The old man with the goatee looked at Richard and nodded.

"As a human being, it is truly outstanding to be able to become an official wizard at such a young age! If you join the organization, you can get bronze-level treatment at the beginning."

"However, I am not responsible for the combat assessment. Dissol, you have to find Graeme for the combat. He is upstairs."

The old man with a goatee named Alhan stroked his beard and said.

Although the three of them had been covered by soundproofing, the people around them who were waiting for the assessment were all looking at Richard with different eyes, including envy and jealousy.

Wizards are all human beings, and Dissol's loud voice just now has exposed his purpose.

"No, no! Alhan, you made a mistake this time. Mr. Levi deserves at least mithril-level treatment." Dissol said proudly.

At this time, Richard touched his nose and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He finally understood Dissol's purpose in coming to see the Alhaan wizard. In addition to asking for treatment for him, it seemed that it was more to show off?
Showing off his discerning eye, he found an alchemist master like himself.

Alhan frowned and said: "Why? Dissol, although there are very few geniuses under the age of 30 who are promoted to official wizards, there are still some. If they are equally outstanding in combat awareness, the organization will give them bronze treatment."

"No, no, not only is he a fighting genius, Your Excellency Li Wei is also an alchemist master." "Alchemist master?" The old man with the goatee looked at Richard suspiciously again, and said with a look of displeasure on his face, "Dissol, stop joking. , Your Excellency Li Wei seems to be less than 30 years old, how could he be a master of alchemy?"

"Correction, Your Excellency Levi is 20 years old this year." Dissol said proudly.

This made Alhan look unhappy instantly!Said in a low voice:

"Then you think that a twenty-year-old human wizard is rare enough, and yet he is also a master alchemist. Dissol, how much Tugger liquor did you drink in the morning to get so drunk?"

"you"

At this time, Dissol also discovered that the person he wanted to introduce, Mr. Levi, seemed to be a bit too genius, and even his good friend Alhan didn't believe it.

Disol glanced at Richard, fearing to make him unhappy, and immediately walked to Alhan and whispered:
"Your Excellency Levi is a traveling wizard, a true master of alchemy, majoring in the explosion branch. He gave me a formula for an alchemical combination bomb he developed himself. The power of the bomb has reached the level of first-level fire witchcraft! "

"What?" Alhan looked surprised and had an expression of disbelief.

Disol said he had a nose and eyes, and it didn't seem like he had drunk too much.

Could it be that this young Lord Li Wei in front of me is really a master of alchemy?
But in more than 100 years, I have never seen such a young alchemist master in the organization.

You know, even if you want to improve the alchemy formula, this is not something that ordinary alchemist masters can't do. After all, it involves adjusting the proportions hundreds of times to find an almost perfect combination, thereby improving an existing one. Alchemical recipe.

How difficult it is to improve an alchemy recipe!

As you can imagine, if you want to develop a new alchemical formula, the work required will be even more complicated.

Generally speaking, it requires a large team, that is, several master alchemists leading dozens of intermediate and senior alchemists, spending a lot of time and energy, and trying various raw materials before success can be achieved!

The emphasis is on "possibility", not certainty. In other words, after spending a lot of time and energy, the harvest may be zero.

Therefore, many masters of alchemy only get inspiration from their imagination and develop such a brand-new alchemy formula by chance.

It may only happen once in a lifetime, but it is worthy of a lifetime of glory for an alchemist master!

And the Lord Levi in ​​front of me doesn't look like he has been studying alchemy for hundreds of years, or even decades.

Therefore, the most likely possibility is that the other party's recipe was obtained from some unknown secret realm.

Alhan, who thought he had figured it out, couldn't help but persuade his old friend Disol:

"Dissol, it is impossible to judge whether a person is an alchemist master just from a new alchemy formula. Do you know the origin of this formula? For example, is it possible that it comes from a secret realm, or..."

Seeing that his friend's words were getting more and more outrageous, if he were to continue talking, he would probably say that Lord Li Wei's alchemy formula was stolen!

Dessol interrupted suddenly angrily.

"Alhan, you idiot, of course I know this, so I watched with my own eyes, Lord Li Wei, using his superb alchemy making skills to make ten combination bombs in a very short period of time!"

"What!" Alhan looked shocked.

This couldn't help but make Alhan deny his opinion again. After all, if it was true as Dissol said, even if Levi's alchemy skills were not masters, his proficiency in making this alchemy bomb was still very close to masters.

"If it's true as you said, Lord Levi is certainly worthy of mithril-level treatment!" Alhan decided to believe the words of his old friend Dissol.

Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be faked.

Even though Lord Levi is a little short of a true alchemy master, the fact that the other party is extremely proficient in making an alchemy combination bomb that is comparable to first-level fire witchcraft is of great significance to the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

If you give the other party mithril-level treatment, the top management of the organization will definitely agree!

As soon as Dessol's voice-holding technique was finished, Alhan immediately sat back in his chair and quickly wrote the following words on a parchment: "Levi, special recruit of the Alchemy Department, master of alchemy, mithril level treatment"

Soon, Alhan handed the parchment to Dissol and said: "Dissol, that's all. You can just take Mr. Levi to the first floor to handle it."

Although the entire exchange between Alhan and Disol was conducted under the screen of sound and nothing was mentioned, it was obvious that this scene had fallen into the eyes of all the alchemists present.

Alhan just finished speaking.

I saw a strong fish-man wizard apprentice walking out beside the trembling fish-man old man, and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency Alhan, as far as I know the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, all assessments are consistent. We adhere to the principle of fairness and justice, but this time we openly used the back door, isn't it too much?"

"We, the prophet of the Tokal Lake Murloc Tribe, are already 110 years old and are proficient in Murloc Alchemy. This time we apply to join the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, we must take the assessment in accordance with the regulations. Why can some people use the back door?"

"My lord, do you dare to read out the contents of the parchment in your hand for everyone to listen to?" The fishman wizard apprentice said this last sentence particularly loudly, and almost everyone in the alchemy examination hall was shouting. Hear it clearly!
At this time, both the applicants who planned to join the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood and the members who wanted to improve their treatment were all looking gloating at this moment.

If I let you go through the back door, you would encounter a thorn in your side!
This immediately made Dissol look livid, and a wizard apprentice actually dared to jump out and question him!
Obviously, this fishman apprentice must have received the support of the fishman prophet behind him.

"I can make the content public! But if you offend a wizard, you have to pay a price!" Dissol's face was so gloomy at this moment that water could drip from his face.

The contents of the parchment are not confidential. Anyone who is a member of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood can learn this most basic information.

"Your Excellency Levi, I'm very sorry for exposing you to the Flame Stone." Disol bowed slightly at this moment and solemnly apologized to Richard.

He also didn't expect that something that seemed very simple to him would turn out to be full of twists and turns.

Richard was okay. He nodded and said, "Your Excellency Dissol, please take matters into your own hands. Don't let the reputation of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood be damaged just because of me."

As soon as these words came out, Dissol's complexion improved a lot, and Lord Levi was still very considerate of him.

Even Alhan's face softened and he nodded. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li Wei was young, very well-organized, and would consider issues from an organizational perspective.

Although the person who jumped out this time was just a weak fishman tribe wizard apprentice, if he was not handled properly, it would bring great disastrous consequences to himself, the Alchemy Department of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, and the reputation of the entire Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. positive effect.

If things get serious, I will inevitably be punished by the adults above!

"Levi Knight. Master of Alchemy" followed Dissol as he read out the registration content on the parchment one by one.

Everyone around was in an uproar!
"How is it possible? How can he be a master of alchemy at such a young age!" A lizard wizard with a forked tongue said with disbelief.

"This is a bit exaggerated. Lord Disor is too reckless!" A gray dwarf apprentice who seemed to know Disor shook his head and watched this scene.

"Haha, did I hear it right? Did you hear it? This young human boy is actually a master of alchemy?" The fish-man wizard apprentice seemed to have finally heard what he wanted to hear, with an excited look on his face. said.

The old fish-man prophet beside him seemed to have a smile on his face that seemed to have succeeded.

"However, I am not questioning the assessment of the two wizards, but I hope that this young alchemist master can compete with our Tokar Lake murloc prophet. If our prophet wins, does that mean that our prophet He is also a master of alchemy and enjoys the Mithril-level treatment of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood!"

Unexpectedly, the fishman apprentice changed the topic and made a sharp impression.

The other party was not stupid and did not accuse Disol and Alhan, two senior first-level wizards with strong auras, of cheating.

But he pointed the finger at the young Richard.

Dissol and Alhan also looked stunned and looked at each other. Only then did they understand the purpose of the fishman prophet of Lake Tokal instructing his men to jump out. This was because they were very confident in their own strength and wanted to step on Levi. Superior.

The other party's words obviously made Richard stunned on the spot.

But Richard did not agree immediately.

It's not that he doesn't dare to accept the other party's challenge, it's mainly because he doesn't know the specific content of the challenge, and the energy points on his inspiration panel have been exhausted since the last time he upgraded the bloodline absorption witchcraft array, and he hasn't had time to accumulate them in the future. .

If the other party competes with him to make or even improve an unfamiliar alchemy formula, he has no confidence that he will win.

If he were simply making potions using a familiar formula, then Richard would obviously not have any problems.

Because as long as it was an alchemy formula that Richard mastered, even if it was an extremely rare one, such as some murloc-specific potion formulas from the Fingart blind murloc tribe, Richard would have reached the ultimate level.

Needless to say, the master of alchemy, even the master of alchemy, may not necessarily be Richard's opponent.

However, in the eyes of everyone around him, this obviously young and somewhat excessive alchemy master "Levi" His Excellency did not agree for a long time, apparently because of a guilty conscience caused by his lack of strength.

At this time, the fishman apprentice was even more proud, "It seems that the alchemist master doesn't have much confidence in coming to have a fair competition with our Tokar Lake fishman prophet. Therefore, please Sir Alhan can impartially."

This immediately made Dissol frown again. What is this, Mr. Levi?
