When the fish-man mage Zhongyong heard Zi Di's explanation, he inevitably had doubts in his heart.
He looked at Zidi in front of him intently, and murmured at the same time: "Also, didn't it mean that the only two mages in the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group have been assassinated? How could there be another human female?
Mage, or silver level?"
"Since the captain is going to greet the distinguished guests, I'll wait." Zhongyong did not rush to the captain's room, but stayed where he was out of curiosity.
Soon, the distinguished guest he was expecting appeared.
There was no pomp and circumstance, just an ordinary carriage.
Very common.
"No, that's not right!" After Zhongyong carefully identified it, a look of shock soon appeared in his eyes.
As an alchemist, he gradually realized that the arriving carriage seemed ordinary, but in fact it contained a lot of alchemical technology and was an alchemical creation of quite high standards.
Its ordinary appearance was deliberately created.
In fact, the defense is very high.
From the moment he opened the door, Zhongyong also glimpsed the interior of the carriage from a distance and saw an alchemy component in it.
"Teleportation array, the carriage also carries a miniature teleportation array!"
"This carriage must cost at least 2,000 gold!!"
At this time, Buquan got off the carriage.
"A young snow elf girl?" Zhongyong wondered, "Too young, and she is only a silver-level mage."
"Is she the only one in the carriage?"
"She is the distinguished guest that the captain of the dragon uniform is waiting for? Maybe she is his lover, but not necessarily..."
"Wait a minute." Zhongyong's face gradually changed, "She, she seems to be Buquan?"
Zhongyong was shocked.
He knows Buquan.
In fact, many alchemists know Buquan, but Buquan does not know them.
Buquan is very famous in the alchemy circle of the Ice Sculpture Capital.
She is a genius, one of the most dazzling new alchemy stars in recent decades, and the winner of the Nuanxue Cup Alchemy Competition.
She has both bloodline and talent. The great mage of the royal family once commented on her, saying that she has an ability of association that is beyond ordinary people. If she continues to develop, she will have many innovations in the field of alchemy and create results that are unimaginable by ordinary people.
Although the Royal Archmage is not an alchemist, he is recognized as the strongest magician in the entire Ice Sculpture Kingdom. His evaluation of Buquan is undoubtedly very high.
"Miss Buquan, welcome to your arrival." The dragon boy walked to the door of the carriage to greet him with a smile on his face.
Buquan also smiled at the dragon boy: "Captain Dragon Service, I'm sorry to come to visit you so early."
"I have already thought about the answer to what happened last night."
"Can I come on board and have a chat?"
"Of course, please come this way."
The young dragon men will welcome Buquan and Zhongyong into the captain's cabin.
Zidi also followed in.
After everyone sat down, the young dragon man came to the fountain, and Zhongyong first introduced Zi Di.
"This Master Yaoma has just taken refuge and joined our Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group."
"She is trustworthy."
Buquan glanced at Zidi, a thoughtful look flashed behind his lenses.
Zidi smiled and said: "I just took refuge, it was just an external statement."
"In fact, I was ordered by the head of the family to come to support the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group."
"Thanks to the heroic battle of the leader of the dragon suit, we have opened up the situation in Snowbird Port. Therefore, in the future, the head of the family will also increase investment in the ice sculpture kingdom."
The words of the dragon boy made people think a lot, and it was easy to connect them to the arms dealer background of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
Zidi directly told the "truth", which immediately made Buquan and Zhongyong feel sincerity.
Moreover, Zidi also pulled off the tiger skin.
Buquan thought: "As expected."
Zhongyong also thought secretly: "No wonder."
The fish-man mage adjusted his posture on his seat.
He secretly warned himself: Be careful with the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. This is not an ordinary force. The backers behind it can easily dispatch silver-level reinforcements.
As for why not send gold-level ones?
The fishman mage already has the answer.
Because this is a tacit understanding, or unspoken rule.
Silver level is considered a low-level transcendent, suitable for exploring paths.
The gold level is already an intermediate level, and individual strength cannot be underestimated. Often the lord of a city is of this level.
When the gold level comes in, it will arouse attention and fear.
The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is here to explore the market, not to invade.
There were originally four gold-level lords of Snowbird Harbor, occupying the top level of power. Among them, there was only one outsider, the branch president of the Bengbu branch.
This is because the Clam Cloth Merchant Guild has a large amount of business in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, and the business scale is very large.
Only after receiving royal charter, the Bengbu Chamber of Commerce will station a gold-level merchant at a major shipping port.
Local forces rarely allow foreign gold-level residents to stay.
One person at the gold level can defeat an army and can easily shake up local rule.
"This fish-man mage..." The dragon boy was about to introduce him.
Zhongyong quickly stood up.
He did not dare to make excuses, so he took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Zhongyong, I have the blood of a blue-fin murloc, and I am good at refining potions. The most commonly made potions are crying water and anti-moving powder."
Zhongyong is very knowledgeable, and his attitude immediately won the smile of Zidi, the young dragon man.
In fact, the survivors all know Zhongyong's information.
They all know the information about the alchemists who came here.
When Zhongyong was sold as a slave, he was still in his mother's belly.
Her mother died not long after he was born.
It can be regarded as Zhongyong’s luck.
A granddaughter of the noble family who bought him was short of toys.
Zhongyong became a prop when playing house, mainly playing the role of a baby.
When the granddaughter grew up, he became a pet like a cat or dog.
Therefore, in his childhood, Zhongyong received unimaginable kindness from many murloc slaves.
As he grew older, his bloodline characteristics became more obvious, and he was actually found to be a mage!
The mage bloodline among the fishmen is much smaller than that of the human race, let alone the snow elves.
Her granddaughter also gradually grew up. Because of the feelings she had cultivated since childhood and the benefits she could expect in the future, she gave her the name Zhongyong and invested resources in cultivating her.
When he succeeded in his studies, he worked in the aristocratic alchemy workshop and created value.
Zhongyong's personal experience is very simple.
What makes the dragon boy and Zi Di both satisfied is that Zhongyong has been trained by the snow elves since he was a child and received a slave education, and he has been consistent and quite mature.
He is good at obeying orders and is a very qualified subordinate.
This can be seen from his performance just now.
"Master Zhongyong, you have come here after a long journey, please have a cup of tea first." The young dragon man first greeted Zhongyong and motioned him to sit down again.
Then, the dragon boy explained to him gently: "Although you came to the pier first this morning, in fact, the matter involving Miss Buquan and I happened earlier."
"Please wait a moment, okay?"
"Of course, of course." Zhongyong said quickly. In fact, he was very curious in his heart, why is a genius like Buquan involved with the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group?
"Could it be that both parties are going to negotiate a big deal?"
"That's good. Looking at it now, you can also see some of the strength of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group."
Zhongyong was curious and looked forward to the negotiation between the dragon boy and Buquan.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the young dragon man went straight to the point: "Last night's invitation to Miss Buquan asked me to go back and reflect. It was because I couldn't restrain myself that it caused such an abrupt incident. I eagerly look forward to your answer. Please consider it.
Do you want to join us?"
Buquan opened his mouth and was about to answer.
puff.
Zhongyong spit out the tea he just drank.
Fortunately, he lowered his head in time and vomited on the floor.
"Ahem, cough, cough. I'm sorry, I'm rude." Zhongyong coughed and apologized, looking very embarrassed.
At the same time, his heart was filled with shock.
"What the hell did I just hear?"
"Longfu actually recruits Buquan? Why does he have it?!"
Zhongyong admitted that the young dragon man was indeed extraordinary, being able to kill gold-level men with a silver level. There was also a backer behind the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. Being an arms dealer must be a very powerful backer.
But none of this constitutes a condition for recruiting Buquan.
A layman may not be qualified, but Zhongyong is an insider and he knows Buquan's identity very well.
She is a genius and has attracted much attention since she stood out. Her mentor loves her very much and is willing to cultivate her at all costs.
The cultivation was very generous, and Buquan was almost regarded as the next successor of the Mage Tower.
The president of the Royal Capital Alchemy Guild is also optimistic about Buquan. At a banquet, he publicly commented on the new alchemy stars that have emerged in the kingdom in the past few decades.
Buquan was ranked fifth by him.
This position means that as long as Buquan's bloodline limit is high enough, she will become a leading figure in the alchemy field of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom in the future when she grows up.
How could such a person be recruited by a mercenary group?
Even if the arms dealer behind the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group took action, it wouldn't be right.
In Zhongyong's mind, the bright future of Buquan should be like this.
She will be cultivated and continue to grow.
She will achieve success step by step, and her professional title will rise rapidly at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
When she reaches gold level, she will be entrusted with important tasks.
She will receive the attention and care of the kingdom, allowing her not to worry about any chores in life, but to devote all her energy to studying the field of alchemy.
Perhaps, in the distant future, an alchemy item she created will greatly enhance the military power of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom. Or maybe a certain alchemy technology she improved can greatly improve people's livelihood. Or maybe a certain alchemy item she discovered and verified
This alchemical principle will become a tool for exploration by alchemists all over the world, and her name will be remembered by the world and will be remembered for generations to come.
"This is where a genius like Buquan should end up."
"This is the path that people like Buquan should take the most, the life that can best demonstrate their own value."
"But now, she is recruited by an arms dealer?"
"Is it difficult to guess what the arms dealer is thinking? He just wants to replenish the springs, make alchemy, and make arms!"
"But is this what Buquan should do at this time?"
"of course not."
"This is what an alchemist like me should do. And a genius like Buquan should be allowed to create and open up the kingdom's frontier in the field of alchemy!"
Zhongyong has the arrogance of an alchemist in his heart.
Although he had to join the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group, he also valued the background of the Dragon Man Boy and the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
But compared with Buquan, Zhongyong looked down on the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group from the bottom of his heart! He deeply felt that the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group and even the arms dealer behind it were not worthy of a genius like Buquan.
"Buquan will never agree!"
Yes, the mage is short of money and will pursue various resources. But it is only to facilitate the mage to pursue knowledge and explore mysteries.
The smell of copper cannot buy the dignity of a mage!
As a mage, Zhongyong certainly has his own dignity.
Especially since he is an alchemist, and he is in an environment like the Ice Sculpture Kingdom where alchemists are treated with high standards.
He believed that he was just forced to do so and that he could not resist such a fate.
When this is not what he wants.
The life he wants is to have his own alchemy workshop, use his own skills to make alchemical items, and sell them to make a living. At the same time, he can also fund himself to do various alchemical experiments, spending his whole life exploring the mysteries of the alchemical field.
This is the heart of a mage.
Rise above the mundane and pursue knowledge and truth!
Zhongyong thinks that he has the heart of a mage, but that's just his fate.
He is even more convinced that Buquan also has the heart of a mage!
How could a person without the heart of a mage have such a genius performance and have so many people speak highly of it?
"Buquan will never agree to such solicitation!" Zhongyong growled in his heart.
