Chapter 198 Undercurrent
When Richard started to make it, Grandmaster Marshall murmured to himself: "The difficulty of making this master-level formula, no matter from which angle you look at it, is probably the most difficult one among the master-level formulas!"

Grandmaster Marshall's words immediately made everyone present have different expressions.

Dissol's thick black eyebrows were furrowed into the character "Sichuan", and his hands were constantly rubbing together, showing that his heart was not as calm as his face.

Alhan sighed deeply in his heart. This Lord Li Wei has outstanding alchemy skills, but he is a little too young. He is aroused by some people's words and tempted by foreign objects. Agree to the other party's request.

You know, they are all traps!
Now that the contract has been signed, it is very likely that the good situation will be reversed.
The fishman prophet and Naseeruddin couldn't help but look at each other after hearing Grandmaster Marshall's comments.

Everyone saw the smiles in each other's eyes. At this moment, if there weren't so many people around, they would probably burst out laughing.

but
As time passed by every second.

Richard's series of smooth operations on the alchemy table caused another change in the expressions of the audience below.

I saw Richard holding a devil's horned frog egg the size of a red bean in his left hand, and then holding a slender needle in his right hand, inserting it steadily into the egg wall, and began to slowly extract the highly toxic egg fluid.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water!

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

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

In this case, the slender needle can be stably inserted in just one time. This display of skill has a feeling of ingenuity but not workmanship!

In the last game, when Richard was making the thick scale potion, he completed 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 stage, so fast or slow had no meaning.

He only needed to steadily produce the golden horned frog eggs, so Richard deliberately slowed down the production pace and only used seven percent of his strength.

But even so, the alchemists watching below were dumbfounded!
"Doesn't this seem difficult?" an intermediate alchemist said suspiciously.

Because he saw that Richard's whole set of movements seemed to be very smooth, unhurried and unhurried. It didn't seem difficult to people, and it seemed a bit simple.

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

The suspicious intermediate alchemist was dubious, and immediately went to the material staff to get a devil 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 hold it. It was too slippery! !
After trying several times, 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 at the alchemy platform again, his face was full of shock!

Grandmaster Marshall stared intently at Richard's operations on the stage and kept stroking the white beard on his chin. His face was full of smiles, but his heart was sighing. What a pity, what a pity! !
I failed to meet this young human boy in advance, otherwise, I would have accepted him as my apprentice!
It's a pity that I met the other party too late!

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

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

The fishman prophet Gorkan, who looked unwilling, said: "Your Excellency Levi, according to the tradition of our Tokar Lake fishman tribe, after the golden horned frog eggs are produced, the pharmacist himself must take the first one. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood the reason.

"It's natural!"

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

Moreover, who will 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, just like eating fried jelly beans, and started chewing them.

Such a confident performance immediately made all the intermediate and senior alchemists watching spontaneously applaud!
You know, there was no collusion in advance, and no one was adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes.

Seeing this scene, the fishman prophet Gorkan's face turned ashen! !
He knew how confident he was to do this.

"Haha, Sir Levi, give me one too!" Dissol came forward with a loud voice.

As soon as Disol said this, all the middle and high-level alchemists who had been watching and applauding were also impressed by Richard's skills and came forward to ask for a taste of the golden horned frog eggs.

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

And although they knew the originally top-secret formula, it was completely impossible for them to make it based on their strength. Even if they were lucky enough to succeed once after thousands of attempts, they still had two questions as to whether they dared to take it!
Seeing that Richard looked disappointed, Naseeruddin squeezed out a smile on his livid face, stepped forward, and handed the fist-sized flame essence to Richard.

"Master Li Wei's skills are breathtaking. This flame essence serves as a greeting gift to the master. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with the master in the future."

Richard looked at the extremely forced smile on Naseeruddin's face, reached out to take the flame essence, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, thank you, Your Excellency Naseeruddin for the gift!"

At this time, a gray dwarf maid also came forward holding a plate, and saw a shining silver circular badge appearing in front of everyone's eyes.

The badge is exquisitely made and made of pure mithril. It shows a goateeted gray dwarf holding a short staff in one hand and a hammer in the other. It seems to represent the founder of the gray dwarf brotherhood.

"Your Excellency Levi, this is the mithril emblem of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood that represents your status and treatment. It will be awarded to you by Master Alchemist Marshall." Alhan accompanied Grandmaster Marshall forward with a smile.

Alchemy master Marshall gently placed the mithril emblem on Richard's chest, patted his shoulder, and said: "Outstanding young man, I look forward to your more outstanding performance!"

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

"Thank you, Mr. Alhan!" Richard also turned his head slightly to greet Alhan.

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

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

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

Although Disol had already exchanged some knowledge about second- and third-level source blood with him before, he was still blank on how to identify the source blood.

Although there are many masters in the gray dwarf brotherhood who are proficient in the knowledge of blood transformation, the dragon's blood of mine cannot be seen in the light, and if it is identified as the source blood of some kind of dragon.Richard believed that with his first-level strength as a first-level wizard, he could not deter others at all, even with the addition of the alchemist master, it might not be enough.

The first level of strength of a first-level wizard has the source blood of a third-level or even higher-level creature. This is the way to death.

According to the saying in the previous life, it is a crime for a child to hold gold while walking through the busy city, and to have a jade in his possession!
Therefore, I have only one choice, to identify what kind of dragon's source 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, bowed deeply and said: "From today on, the Tokar Lake fishman tribe will serve Li Wei. Your Excellency is the master.”

Richard nodded and said, "Please follow me back to Mr. Dissol's residence first. I 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 thought about it and realized that he had already surrendered to the Tokar Lake murloc.

Obviously, he could first get a preliminary understanding of the situation from the fishman prophet.

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

If you still can't solve your doubts by then, you can find Dissol or Alhan, or even visit Grandmaster Marshall.
-
After half a day.

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

"Owner!"

Looking at the fishman prophet Gorkan who also had a respectful look on his face and called Richard Master, Fingart couldn't help but sigh.

This fish-man expert was of the same generation as his teacher, but he didn't expect that he would now become his master's slave, and his ranking would be even lower than his own.

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

"Okay, master."

"Nearly a thousand years ago, gray dwarf wizards discovered that there was a super-large secret realm sealed beneath the city of Tuge, called the Scorched Earth Secret Realm."

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

"Due to the restrictions of the rules of the secret realm, once the wizards enter the secret realm, they will be automatically dispersed. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to gather each time they enter. Even with rare contact witchcraft, the gray dwarf wizards are always We have not been able to explore this secret realm on a large scale."

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

Richard listened and nodded.

"So, the flame crystals and flame essence all come from this scorched earth secret realm?"

"That's not true. Fire elements that reach the first level of strength will produce flame crystals in their bodies. There are many places and secret realms in the Underdark that have first-level elemental creatures, and first-level fire elements are also occasionally found."

"So, flame crystals are not unique to the Scorched Earth Secret Realm."

"However, the fire essence is different. As far as I know, except for the Scorched Earth Secret Realm, no other place has produced fire essence. I heard that the fire essence is only generated in the body of the second-level giant fire element."

After a pause, Gorkan added:
"The giant fire element of the second level usually requires the action of a second-level wizard to ensure a successful kill."

Richard somewhat understood why the price of flame crystals remained high, and the second-level flame essence was even more expensive.

Flame crystals are the best item for stimulating the first-order bloodline essence. They are consumed in large quantities, but the output in other places is extremely limited. Therefore, this is why the number of wizard organizations in Tuge City is almost as large as that of the gray dwarf imperial capital. .

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

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

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

After a long time, Richard also understood the reason why a senior alchemist like the fish-man prophet Gorkan was so anxious to obtain mithril-level treatment from the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

It stands to reason that a senior alchemist can do well anywhere, not to mention Gorkan is the leader of the clan!
Before talking about the reasons, we must first talk about the issue of treatment levels.The gray dwarf brotherhood divides the treatment levels into gray iron level, bronze level, mithril level and adamantine level, a total of four levels, and there are huge differences in authority between each level.

Take the mithril-level treatment that Gorkan strives for.

Mithril-level treatment, second-level wizards or professionals whose skills in a certain field have reached the master level can be enjoyed after joining the brotherhood.In addition, you need to continuously accumulate contribution points and slowly upgrade from gray iron level or bronze level to mithril level.

Mithril-level benefits include the right to borrow knowledge related to level [-] wizards from the database for free, and to borrow knowledge related to level [-] wizards for a fee, and a series of other permissions.

Finally, if the person who enjoys mithril-level treatment is a master of skills and is weak in strength, the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood can also arrange special combatants to be responsible for security protection.

This last item of mithril-level treatment is actually the most important point for Gorkan.

If any organization or individual attacks a member of the Brotherhood who receives mithril-level treatment, it will be deemed to be at war with the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

Once he received mithril-level treatment, the safety of the entire Tokar Lake murloc tribe would be protected by the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, a huge wizard organization in disguise.

Because, recently, there have been several incidents around Tuge City where entire tribes were sacrificed to blood.

It was still a small tribe at the beginning, and Gorkan didn't take it seriously. Until yesterday, a medium-sized tribe was blood sacrificed as a whole.

In particular, this tribe is the Blackwater River fishman tribe that has always had a good relationship with Gorkan. The other party's prophet is also a master who has reached the official wizard level and is on par with him. However, he did not expect that he would not be able to escape bad luck this time.

This immediately made Gorkan feel the crisis!

Although this incident has attracted the attention of the official forces in Tuge City, the mastermind behind the incident has not yet been identified.

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 went by, the whirlpool would get bigger and bigger and one day he would be sucked into it.
