They claimed to be people who came from the dangerous volcanoes. Although people did not believe their bragging, they still entertained them very politely for the sake of gold coins. They stayed in the only hotel in the village.
For five days, I stayed behind closed doors. Even the meals were delivered to the room by the boss himself.
Hey, there is no other way. Marl Village is a poor place to begin with. Now that there are such arrogant customers, even if the shop is weird, the boss will not ask anything about it.
Five days later, the man and woman purchased a large portion of the village's dry food and a detailed local map for a high price of ten gold coins, and then disappeared into the mist of the early morning.
This was just a small episode in Mar Village and did not attract people's attention. The only thing that made the villagers watching the two people leave a little strange was that the huge package that the young man was carrying when he came disappeared when he left.
This became the only basis for the legend about the treasures left by travelers from other places spread in Marl Village hundreds of years later.
………………
Marl Village is named after the Marl Mountains. It is the most remote village on the east coast of the central continent. The poverty and backwardness of the village are not only due to its distance from Popo City, but also to its geographical environment.
The geographical environment of the volcanic group is extremely contrasting. Active volcanoes can be said to erupt frequently, resulting in no grass growing nearby. However, the mountains outside the volcanic group are dormant extinct volcanoes. The magma and volcanic mud that once erupted have been accumulated and accumulated over the years.
Fermentation has become the best fertilizer for the earth, nourishing the vitality of this land, and the location of Mal Village is located in the valley of a series of extinct volcanoes.
Although the village is extremely rich in resources, it is unable to transport them due to the rugged mountain roads.
However, compared to the dense forests and rampant magical beasts in the northern part of the continent, the vigorous vitality of the volcanic zone in the south does not have any giant magical beasts entrenched, but instead promotes the growth of many magical plants.
Therefore, the Marl Mountains, where no businessmen are willing to do business, has attracted many alchemists to gather because of the special advantage of being full of magic plants, and dozens of independent alchemy strongholds have been established in the vast mountains.
These people who are obsessed with alchemy go to the mountains and forests during the day to collect various rare magic plants and materials. At night, they are either in their tents, doing experiments, or they sit around the campfire and talk about the principles of alchemy.
All the strongholds established by alchemists are different from those established by ordinary warriors. They have no guards or night patrols, but their strongholds have stronger defenses than warriors. In addition to many potions to expel monsters, there are
a lot of
Simple alchemy formation rings, these alchemy formations don't seem to be very powerful, but if they trigger a chain effect, even the Venerable can't bear the power. Therefore, in this place where there are no advanced magic beasts and advanced warriors, the safety of the alchemist stronghold is
It is the most guaranteed.
If one night, a hunter hears a loud noise on the top of the mountain, or sees a group of people arguing fiercely, please don't be surprised, because this is the crazy alchemist.
One evening in the summer afternoon, with the cool breeze blowing, the people at Matthews Alchemy Point, after a long day of exhaustion, were sitting around the campfire eating dinner. They were not as busy and irritable as before, but their eyes were
He looked at the man standing by the campfire with burning eyes. He was the first alchemist of this camp, Matthews Granville.
He was holding a bottle of blue liquid and excitedly explaining his latest invention to everyone.
"Look! This is the liquid obtained after the purification of Ju orchid grass. This liquid purification method was obtained after three years of hard work. Oh, my dear brothers, look at this blue liquid.
The liquid is so amazing and so addictive!"
"Okay, Matthews, stop praising me and acting as if this thing is as great as the apostle! Get to the point quickly!"
An unshaven man shouted dissatisfied, "Are you kidding? For alchemists, principles and functions are the key. Who listens to those meaningless modifiers? That is what those old scholars should study."
Matthews glared at the bearded man fiercely and said dissatisfied:
"You damn decadent man, Harder, you really don't understand art!"
Although he spoke forcefully, he also understood the interests of these colleagues who were strict in style and focused more on results, so he no longer beat around the bush.
"We all know that the role of julienne is to improve the recovery of magic power, and to enhance and increase the power, so it is generally used by magicians. They will make these julienne into pills and use them as potions to restore magic power.
But the problem is that the refining of the pills will cause a large part of the medicinal effect of the orchid to disappear. In addition, it also greatly wastes the greatest feature of the orchid to increase the magic intensity, so the past use is simply a waste and shameful!
"
Matthews gave an impassioned speech. It was obvious that his emotions affected these lovely alchemists. All the alchemists became filled with indignation and insulted the magicians.
In fact, alchemists are different from magicians. Magicians rely on their own talents to control the communication between heaven and earth elements. Therefore, for them, alchemy is just an auxiliary industry with a single function, that is, to make them better.
, and use your magic talents more perfectly.
Alchemists are different. They regard alchemy as a weapon to compete with magicians. It is the hope of all ordinary people who want to become magicians but cannot become magicians due to their own conditions. Therefore, in their hearts
, Alchemy is sacred and great.
In the past few thousand years, there have indeed been several outstanding alchemists who shocked the continent. They shocked everyone with their miraculous alchemical techniques, and even moved mountains and reclaimed seas. However, a hundred years later, they
It disappeared into the vast river of history without causing any waves.
Naturally, there are these alchemists here. After they became famous, in order to prevent the appearance of the same great alchemist from affecting their status, like all proud magicians, they began to cherish their alchemy skills, which eventually led to those precious
The disappearance of alchemy is mainly due to the increasing shortage of alchemical materials.
