  Chapter 372 The second energy level material and the fire dragon burning the warehouse (33)

   Several meanings, but not many meanings.

Mrs. Ellen mainly thanked Ian for his achievements, thanked him for helping Isengard and Master Gosse in the maze, expressed her appreciation for Ian, encouraged the boy to continue working hard, and then told him that he Many of the things that help Isengard reason are critical, even crucial.

of course. Ian raised his eyebrows. He felt that the other party should not send him a letter just for the sake of courtesy.

  Continuing to read, Mrs. Ellen asked him if he would like to work in the Platinum Iridium Workshop. As long as he went to the main workshop of Nanling in Nauman City and participated in a test in the sense of the scene, he could be the exploration alchemist of the workshop.

My daily job is to travel around. I only need to write some relevant reports regularly, and I will have Thaler’s basic salary every Thursday. I can also get free board and lodging in places with workshops. If I get any new and special alchemy materials, or from Any niche pharmaceutical formula collected by the folks can also get a share from the workshop.

   This is only because Ian has not yet examined the qualification certificate of an official alchemist. If he has the qualification certificate, his basic salary will increase to 450 talers a year.

   "So generous?"

  Ian was a little surprised. Money or not is a trivial matter. If nothing else, even if he became an official alchemist, his annual salary might not be as much as the refined alchemy equipment that Isengard gave him.

  He is very clear that what is really important is the establishment of the 'Exploration Alchemist', but the establishment of the Imperial Capital Headquarters!

  Those managers in the countryside may never have the chance to get involved in the headquarters' establishment in their entire lives, and the resources of the headquarters, the alchemy potion formulas they can get, and many benefits are definitely not comparable to the local branches.

   It’s like the official alchemist establishment of the headquarters returns a house in an apartment building on the first floor as a residence... that is, the Platinum Iridium Workshop is rich and powerful, and it can actually give away a house in the imperial capital!

  Although you have to pay back when you leave, who will leave?

  The letter here is almost over.

  The letter did not mention why Ian needed the potion material of the second energy level now, nor did it mention any other superfluous things, obviously considering the possibility that if the letter was discovered.

   On the surface, it seems that Mrs. Ellen admires Ian, the young genius who saved her child's life, and uses quite generous terms to win him over.

   "It's more formulaic. It seems that Isengard is smarter. He listened to my instructions and didn't tell his mother the information in the ruins in detail—it's a bit of progress."

  Ian put down the letter paper, and his mood was calm. His mentality was much more mature than his age, and he would not be excited about this level of wooing.

On the contrary, he didn't want to pay too much attention, and the level of attention now is just right... just when he applied to be a patrolling knight, those political examiners first saw him as the direct descendant of Viscount Grant, but when they looked closely, they would think that he was the princess Aye. A section under Mrs. Lun's command.

  With these two layers of protective film, he basically doesn't have to worry about any identity issues, he is really a son of a good family.

  Placing the letter paper aside, Ian began to check the potion ingredients in the snow crystal storage box.

   There are three materials in total.

  Main material [Flying Feather of the Fairy], auxiliary material [Essence of Sea Grass] and [Lingguang Pumice Stone]

  Combining the main ingredient [Fairy Streamer] that Ian already has and the secondary ingredient [Psychic Nourishing Extract] that Ian will buy soon, the second-level fairy potion is already complete.

   Needless to say, the flying feathers of the fairy are the same template as the molted feathers of the first energy level.

   It's just that the flying feathers are the feathers left by the true fairy. As the name suggests, the molting feathers are the parts that shed from infancy to full body.

And the seaweed is a kind of sublimation plant that can only grow in the turbulent underground river without light. Its appearance is pure white like snow, and its leaves are curled up in a cylindrical shape similar to that of a pitcher plant to filter the nutrients in the underground river and the source of the water system. growing up.

  Its complete body is the second-level predator magic plant "Sharp Grass Group". Many plants of Swirling Grass will gather together and dive into the huge underground lake to actively hunt and kill other water system monsters as their own nutrients.

And Lingguang pumice is a strange sublimation material that can be suspended in the ocean and is not affected by tides and gravity. Its color is blue and translucent, and it is very light. The propulsion is converted into energy and stored inside, the more energy stored, the brighter the light.

  It is said that the king of sea descendants once built a huge palace in the sea with Lingguang pumice, standing in the middle of the wandering sea, and can be driven as a fortress when needed.

  In the foreseeable vision, the materials are all dark purple, which means that they are of sufficient weight and high quality. It is indeed a thank you gift from the Ellen family.

"good."

  Ian closed the safe, and he smiled: "It's much better than I imagined."

  Of course, it is actually very simple to be better than Ian imagined, because he usually thinks towards the worse possibility, so life is full of surprises.

  Put the safe in the safe in the room, and Ian leaves the workshop.

  He's going to wander around and see what's going on in this quiet hillside town.

   The result is not satisfactory.

  Not to mention that the sky is cloudy now, and it rains from time to time. The rosy grass and other crops in early summer don't need much care, and there are few pedestrians on the street.

  The knight armor he was wearing was too conspicuous, more than majestic, but not friendly enough. The few farmers and craftsmen he met trembled and dared not say anything.

  If it is an ordinary person, it is enough to change clothes at this time. Although the defense is lowered, there is no need to wear armor in the city.

  But Ian is not an ordinary person... With his appearance, he really took off his helmet, and I am afraid it will be more troublesome to communicate.

  At the very least, there were a few people wearing alchemist armor and stammering back, taking off their helmets, maybe they were all flirting with each other.

   However, it is not without gains.

Laian City is a peaceful city. Its main industries are herbal medicine workshops and relatively low-end alchemy workshops. It is busiest when harvesting potions in late autumn and early winter. Other times are off-season, and some people will work part-time as carpenters. Furniture is for living, and some people will go fishing, but the scale is not large, so there are not many permanent residents here.

  In contrast, this city is quite wealthy. In other words, the entire Lai'an Territory is relatively rich because of the franchise rights of Xiahuicao and several other sublimation plants.

  The residents of Golden Leaf Town even have planting subsidies, so even if the baron didn't send sublimators to deal with the sharp claw tiger problem for them, they were all speaking for Baron Ryan.

  Similarly, most of the residents of Leonland are very proud of their hometown and love the baron very much.

   Knowing that Ian wanted to come here to buy spiritual energy nourishing extract, even ordinary people who were afraid of Ian before became energetic, and told Ian regretfully that he came a step late.

Although most of the Xiahui grasses mature only in late autumn, there are some late-maturing Xiahui grasses that obviously have enough nutrients, but there will be no abnormalities in the first year, but after a winter and spring precipitation , releasing Xiahui in the summer of the second year.

This kind of two-year-old Xiahui grass is the real high-end product. It is usually sent to Nauman City or even the imperial capital. It is impossible to buy it through the channel of the Chamber of Commerce in the market. You can only come to Laian City in person, or there are high-level officials from the empire. relationship, have the opportunity to buy such a superior product.

  But just a while ago, a group of thieves stole a batch of two-year-old radiant grass that the baron was going to give to Nauman City, which caused the baron to be furious and even imposed a curfew. That's why the city of Laian that Ian saw was so dull.

  The baron is usually quite gentle with the citizens, but it is terrible for an honest person to get angry. Everyone doesn't want to make trouble, so they have been staying at home honestly during the recent period and don't come out much.

   Apart from that, Ian couldn't ask anything else.

   "Where are the thieves who can steal a large number of two-year Xiahui grass? Flying flames? No, this time Flying flames probably really doesn't have the energy."

Watching the back of a herb grower leaving, Ian crossed his arms and tapped the armor plate on his arm with some doubts: "And it's martial law, but it's not very martial law—the guards didn't interrogate me when they saw me just now. , if there really are thieves, even if I am a knight, I have to inquire about the origin, right?"

   Soon, he had a fairly reasonable guess.

   "What do you think, Anfa?"

  At this moment, Ian turned his head and asked the elf bachelor who had been standing at the intersection when he asked the question just now, watching this scene: "What did you find out?"

   "Sir, the answer to this question is actually very simple."

   When we meet again because the city is too small, Anfa also smiles slightly.

The handsome elf with green hair bowed to Ian, and said slowly: "You must have thought that... since a batch of 'supplies that were supposed to be sent to the superior' was stolen by 'a group of thieves', the Baron himself has to get rid of one There won't be any trouble other than the responsibility of 'security concerns'."

   "As for the next answer, you, a knight, may be able to talk about it, but I, a foreign scholar, dare not make wild guesses."

"Yes."

  Ian nodded, and he couldn't help sighing: "So, this is probably a cutscene that everyone understands."

  —Guardian steals, fire dragon burns warehouse.

  It seems that even in a different world, as long as there are humans and even intelligent creatures, this kind of drama is indispensable.
