Listening to the name that popped out of Xiao Yan's mouth, Frank and Otto were obviously stunned for a moment, and then said with full surprise: "Little guy, this Ice Spirit Cold Spring is an extremely rare natural treasure, and it is so rare.
With your current strength, it seems impossible that you need that kind of thing, right?"
Xiao Yan smiled and said vaguely: "I really need this thing. Two masters, do you know if anyone has it in the Alchemist Guild? If anyone has it, I can trade it with it at a high price.
.”
"High price? Xiao Yan, you have to know that Bingling Hanquan is not a rare treasure that can be measured with gold coins, and even if others have this thing, it will be difficult to exchange it with others." Frank shook his head,
said.
"Haha, of course I know this. I also asked the two masters to help me check it out. If someone really owns it, I may be able to come up with something that satisfies him." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, quite politely.
road.
Seeing Xiao Yan's persistence, Frank frowned, then looked at each other and nodded helplessly with Otto.
"Just wait a moment." Otto stood up, said to Xiao Yan, then turned and walked into the inside of the study.
"This old guy is the vice-president of the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild. Although he is extremely lazy on weekdays and rarely manages the affairs of the guild, he is usually responsible for transactions like this." Frank watched Otto march into the back room and said to
Xiao Yan smiled and said.
Smiling and nodding, Xiao Yan gently placed his palms on the back of the chair and tapped his fingers involuntarily. There was also a hint of eager expectation on his seemingly calm face.
Slowly holding the tea cup and taking a shallow sip, Frank raised his eyes casually and looked at Xiao Yan's forced composure. He couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "Is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring really important to him?"
After waiting quietly for a long time, Otto walked out of the inner room with a thick ancient book in his arms, placed it lightly on the table, turned to Xiao Yan and shook his head helplessly.
He said: "Sorry, I looked for the latest transaction inventory in the Jiama Empire, and I didn't find anyone who owned the Ice Spirit Cold Spring..."
"That thing is really rare, and its preservation requirements are also extremely strict. I remember that a fourth-grade alchemist once luckily found some Ice Spirit Cold Spring in an extremely cold place, but in the end, because
It was improperly stored and turned into white mist and dissipated..." Otto said with some regret.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan also sighed with disappointment on his face. He shook his head slightly, raised his head and smiled bitterly: "If not, then forget it, it's really a trouble for you two."
Looking at Xiao Yan's disappointed look, Frank helplessly spread his hands. He turned his head and whispered to Otto: "Really not?"
Patting the thick book in his hand, Otto shook his head: "There is indeed no earth!"
"If there isn't one here, I suggest you go to the auction and have a look. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet it by chance," Frank comforted.
Xiao Yan nodded with a wry smile, but he knew very well that if even the Alchemist Guild didn't have this thing, then no matter how lucky he was, he would still have difficulty finding that kind of rare treasure in the auction house.
"Well, since I don't have what I need, I'll take my leave." Xiao Yan stood up somewhat dejectedly. Xiao Yan cupped his hands at the two of them, then turned around and left the study room.
Looking at Xiao Yan's dejected look, Otto shook his head helplessly. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
"Huh?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned around in confusion and looked at Otto who was in deep thought.
"Do you really need the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?" Otto asked with a frown.
"Well, it's very necessary!" He nodded heavily. Looking at Otto's thoughtful look, Xiao Yan's heart moved slightly, and there was a little joy in his voice: "Master Otto, do you have the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?"
On the side, Frank also stared at Otto with some surprise. Obviously, he was also a little unaware.
"Haha, of course I can't have that thing." He smiled and shook his head. Otto looked at Xiao Yan, whose expression became disappointed again, and couldn't help but smile: "But I seem to have seen it with some weird guy.
This kind of thing."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Who is he? Where is he?"
"Uh... I have to warn you in advance. If you want to get what you need from that guy, if you are not prepared to bleed, it is probably impossible." Otto smiled.
"Uh...I'll try my best..." Xiao Yan said hesitantly. Naturally, he didn't dare to speak too fully before he knew exactly what conditions the other party was going to offer.
"Old guy...you're not talking about the old pervert Gut who regards treasure as his life, are you?" Frank, who was frowning, suddenly said in shock.
"Well, it's that old pervert. Last time I went to his place, I seemed to have heard him mention the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, but the old guy was so stingy that he couldn't even bear to look at it..." Otto said with a smile.
"...If he really has the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, I don't think Xiao Yan can successfully exchange it from him." Frank shook his head helplessly and looked at Xiao Yan with some sympathy in his eyes.
"Who is Gute?" Xiao Yan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Frank, and asked with some anxiety.
"That guy is also an alchemist. Although he is only at the third level, his rich collection is enough to make any alchemist in the Degama Empire jealous." Otto shook his head and praised.
"He is not from the Alchemist Guild?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.
"No, that guy's temperament is too eccentric. He is obviously talented in refining medicine, but he is extremely obsessed with collecting all kinds of natural materials and rare treasures, which has led to him staying in the third-grade stage. This obsession has almost reached a morbid level.
Once he discovers that someone else has something good, that guy will immediately stalk him, making him extremely annoyed and giving him a headache." Frank smiled bitterly. From the look on his face, he seemed to have experienced this kind of situation before.
"Hey, you were so idle back then that you actually showed off the purple-blooded Ganoderma lucidum that you had finally obtained. Tsk, but that old guy Gut is so patient. He actually bothered you about it for a whole year.
Haha..." Otto said with a gloating face, as if he was remembering interesting things from back then.
"Alas." Frank shook his head helplessly, and Frank looked depressed.
"Uh... you are of a higher rank than him, how dare he be so presumptuous?" Looking at the helpless expressions of the two of them, Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.
"Our rank is indeed higher than him, but this old guy has a great brother. In this Gama Empire, no one dares to provoke him." Frank said with a bitter smile.
"Brother? Who is it?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was very surprised. Who has such energy in the Jiama Empire, so that two fourth-grade alchemists dare not be provoked.
"Who else could it be... Dan King Furukawa?" Otto rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said, "If it weren't for this brother covering it, that guy's treasure room would have been visited many times."
"Uh... Furukawa? No wonder." Xiao Yan was slightly startled. Then he suddenly nodded. In the Jiama Empire, Dan King Furukawa indeed has extremely huge energy.
"But fortunately, although the old guy is very annoying, he has a good nature after all. He is just a bit pedantic and stubborn, and he hates people mentioning Furukawa in front of him. Although he also knows that he can't get to where he is today without Furukawa's help, but
If someone mentions Furukawa in front of him, he will immediately get angry and yell at the person, so you have to be careful. Otherwise, if you piss him off, even if you bring out the best exotic treasure, it will be difficult to exchange it for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring." Frank
reminded.
"Is he in Black Rock City?" Xiao Yan asked nervously.
"Yes, yes." Otto smiled and nodded. He glanced at Xiao Yan and said with a smile, "Are you really planning to go find him?"
"There is no other way. I really need the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Even if he opens his mouth wide, if I can get it, I will probably be killed by him." Xiao Yan nodded helplessly and said with a bitter smile.
"Poor little guy. Others can't hide from him, but you actually showed up to the door yourself." Otto patted Xiao Yan's shoulder sympathetically, and Otto turned to Frank and said: "Then let me take Xiao Yan there.
Go find that old guy, and I think you don’t really want to see him either.”
"Go, go. When you see him, I can help him by saying that it's best not to come to our Alchemist Guild. I don't want the branch I manage to become empty. In that case, even if Furukawa is there to protect me, I
I want to make trouble for him too..." Waving his hand, Frank curled his lips and said, obviously, he was really afraid of that annoying guy.
"Hehe." Otto smiled happily, and said to Xiao Yan: "Let's go, follow me, I will take you to find that guy, but whether you can succeed in the end depends on you."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly nodded gratefully, and at the same time felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he came by the way to examine the alchemist. Otherwise, if he had to search for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring all over the world, when would he find it?
After leaving the bookstore, Xiao Yan followed Otto closely. As he left the Alchemist Guild, along the way, people kept saying hello respectfully to the indifferent Master Otto, and when their eyes glanced at the people behind him,
Xiao Yan, who followed, was slightly stunned. His eyes swept over the dark robe that represented the second-grade alchemist, and finally stopped on Xiao Yan's young face in shock. Obviously, for such a young man,
A second-grade alchemist, they were quite shocked.
Ignoring the shocking glances along the way, Xiao Yan followed Otto through more than a dozen dizzying streets in Black Rock City, and then gradually stopped in front of a strange building in a remote corner near the south of the city.
.
Looking up at the weird building in front of him, Otto breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Xiao Yan and smiled: "This is where that guy Gut lives. Before entering, I'd like to remind you again that you'd better have something
Prepare for a great bloodletting!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan could only smile bitterly and nod.
