Chapter 240 Alchemy Task <TOC> Chapter 242 It Never Rains but It Pours
Translator: SumTLMan
When the white-robed youth didn’t speak any pleasantries and went straight to the point. Angel’s impression of him became even better than before.
Angel turned his head and looked at the large screen. The task numbered 5428… As he expected, it was indeed a customized alchemy weapon task.
There is no indication of the specific weapon that needs to be refined. But the reward for it is quite high, 1,100 magic crystals.
The white-robed youth asked: “I wonder if you are interested in this task?”
Angel didn’t give a clear answer but said: “There is nothing substantive except for the remuneration. I’m unwilling to accept such a task.”
“Since it’s a customized weapon, can we talk about it? Why don’t we take the time to talk it through? There is a reception room on the second floor. Why don’t we head over there and go over the details? There is also a safe passage on the second floor that leads directly outside.” The young man in the white robe pointed out to Angel.
Angel noticed some people around him were looking over at him, whispering to others from time to time. Several people took out their communicators after seeing the white-robed youth.
Angel thought for a moment and said: “Wait a minute.”
Angel turned his head and said to the service staff member: “I have decided to take on all the tasks. Please have the deposits required deducted directly from my bone card.”
The service staff member was given a cold look from Angel. At this time, his heart was shaking. When he heard Angel’s words, he quickly nodded and began operating the device in front of him.
“Just to make sure, the deposit will be returned to me when I take over the task, right?” Angel asked.
“Yes, the deposit will be refunded. However, it’s just that some tasks have a time limit, if…” The service staff member mentioned.
Angel waved with his hand and said: “You don’t have to worry about these things.”
When Angel handed over the task numbers, the white-robed youth frowned as he noticed the other party took on too many tasks… Even if he takes over his task, he won’t know when it will be completed. But as an outsider, he couldn’t stop the other party from taking on so many tasks.
The white-robed young man can only slightly sigh in his heart. Anyway, his task has been published for half a year. So it would be of no harm to wait a little longer. At present, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with this new and young alchemy wizard.
After a few minutes, the task handover was completed. Of the seven tasks he received, three task publishers have already delivered the materials. So Angel also received three disposable space capsules from the service staff member when he received his bone card back.
After the handover, Angel said to the white-robed youth: “Lead the way.”
Led by the white-robed youth, Angel came to the second floor of Mission Hall. On the way, Angel also learned the other party’s name, ** Tower.
“People who hear my name for the first time will find it strange. In fact, this is my people’s custom. Our name must be heard and must never be forgotten, even if the names are against the times.” ** Tower said with a smile: “If anyone forgets our name, it will be the biggest insult for my people. Long ago, our name were actually the same as that of other people. But through family customs, it became the way it is now. So the older generation began changing our naming sense in order to give a strong impression to others with our name.”
“My name is now quite normal, my sister’s name is Rosefinch. The rosefinch is our national bird, and my father named her like that in order to let other people remember my sister’s name. He just directly named her Rosefinch. You might not find it funny, but it’s funny.” ** Tower said.
** Tower started with his name as a talking point with Angel and explained a lot about his local customs.
Angel felt his ancestor was quite interesting. These memorable names weren’t only refreshing but also helped them get close to strangers by letting others tease the names. They don’t even have to change the topic which shows how prescient the ancestor was.
“** Tower, long time no see… Ah, who is this gentleman? Is this your new friend?” A muscular man yelled.
At this time, a sweaty and smelly muscular man suddenly shouted out from far, far away.
** Tower curled his lips at Angel and said: “Look, here comes another man looking for you. Let’s hurry. I expect more and more people will come by later on. Recently, with the second Frost Moon Channel opening, these people are frantically looking for alchemy wizards.”
With that, ** Tower and Angel began to stride towards the direction of the reception room.
The muscular man who was still far away. Introduced himself to Angel before he could clearly see the other party’s appearance.
“Sir, my name is Hercules! It’s nice to meet you. Can we shake hands?” Hercules said to Angel.
Angel thought: “…” You are eight hundred meters away from me, it would be strange if we could shake hands.
Fortunately, Hercules is still far away from them. When ** Tower closed the door to the private meeting room, the other party was still far away from them.
Knock knock knock—”** Tower, open the door! We haven’t seen each other for so long. Let’s get in touch and catch up!” Hercules yelled.
“Well, I don’t know if sir is an alchemy wizard. But please pay attention to task No. 5487’s remuneration…” Hercules said.
Before the man outside had finished speaking, he only heard a “click.” ** Tower turned on the sound barrier of the private reception room.
The world was suddenly quiet.
“Ignore him, just a man with empty muscles and no brains. Fortunately, I rented this reception room yesterday because I was talking to someone. Otherwise, I might have been blocked by him.” ** Tower said, pointing to one side of the corner: “The Teleport Array can transmit to any node in Tree Spirit Court. So you don’t have to worry about being surrounded.”
Angel nodded his head after confirming it was a Teleport Array that could be activated at any time.
** Tower as always, didn’t have too many pleasantries and didn’t even ask for Angel’s name. So he directly invited Angel to take a seat and get down to business.
Angel asked: “I don’t know what your task entails, but let me tell you what’s going on with me. First, I only craft alchemy weapons.” It’s not as if he was incapable of making other things, but the only thing Angel is familiar with now and sure of, is crafting alchemy weapons.
“This is no problem. What I want you to make is an alchemy weapon, but the shape is a bit special. Also, I need to use the Blood Soul Sacrificial Altar.” ** Tower said.
Blood Soul Sacrificial Altar?! Angel’s eyes looked at ** Tower strangely but said nothing more.
What is the Blood Soul Sacrificial Altar one may wonder? This is an altar that has the infamous Crowned Clown’s true name, and is related to this Abyss Plane’s Great Devil!
** Tower said: “It seems that you already know about the Blood Soul Sacrificial Altar.”
“I know of it, but I don’t care what you’re going to do with it. I’ll keep talking about my own situation. At present, I am following the path of enchantment alchemy, not blending. Most of the effects are fixed. The chances of you getting any unexpected special effect aren’t very high.” Angel explained.
When ** Tower heard Angel was following the path of enchantment, his eyes were even brighter: “A qualified wizard never places their hopes on chance.”
“There is one last point. I will allocate my refining time based on the difficulty of the refinement. I’m not sure how long the refinement time will last.” This is mainly because Angel is worried if he refines ** Tower’s weapons. He will be left unable to prepare more magic crystals with the ten days remaining.
** Tower has no objection to this requirement. He has been waiting for half a year. It doesn’t matter if he waits a bit longer. After all, this matter isn’t so urgent.
When Angel finishes talking about himself, it was ** Tower’s time to talk about his customized weapon.
When ** Tower finished his request, Angel frowned slightly.
The weapon ** Tower wants to refine is not too difficult, just… is this really a weapon? Angel wondered.
What ** Tower wants to refine is actually a chain. The material requirement is that the heavier the better. The bound person shouldn’t be left with the strength even to break free. The magic pattern he requires to be depicted is a forbidden sound magic pattern.
A chain with a forbidden sound effect? Why not just use cast a silent boundary spell? Angel wondered.
This chain combined with its weight and forbidden sound effect. To alchemy wizards who take the path of blending, they may need more experience and familiarity with materials in order to find correct matching materials. No wonder no one replied to this task for six months. But for Angel who walks the path of enchantment, this isn’t a difficult task. He just has to directly depict a forbidden sound magic pattern.
Therefore, this task wasn’t very difficult for Angel at all. Only, his heart is a little curious. What will the chain be used for? What’s more, the other party will still use the Blood Soul Sacrificial Altar for this little thing?
“Can you refine it?” ** Tower eyes are filled with desire.
Angel thought for a moment and nodded: “Yes.” No matter what the refined item does, he collects money to do other things. This chain refining task won’t be very difficult for him.
“That’s great!” ** Tower instantly stood up and pumped his clenched fist excitedly. After waiting for half a year, he finally found an alchemy wizard that could refine this chain! As long as the refinement succeeds, this achievement will be his great chance. Then his path of a wizard will surely be smooth sailing!
“I’m not very familiar with the alchemy materials, so you need to prepare the materials yourself. I request that the heavier the better.” ** Tower said as he directly took out 200 magic crystals and handed them over to Angel: “This is the deposit. When the task handover takes place, I will give you the remaining 900 magic crystals.”
“Won’t you go to Mission Hall?” Angel asked.
“Mission Hall will draw a percentage. We’ll trade directly in private without worrying about the percentage draw. You also don’t have to worry, ** will leave it up to you on where you want to handle the transaction location.” ** Tower said.
** Tower even prepared a backdoor for Angel. Naturally, he will not refuse.
After confirming the transaction, Angel exchanged contact information with ** Tower and left through the Teleport Array.
By the time Angel left, ** Tower’s excitement still lingered. The transaction must be foolproof, so it’s best to shut up this alchemy wizard forever.
However, before doing so, he needs to identify the other person. He doesn’t even know the other party’s name for now.
** Tower thought for a while, and after a while longer, left Mission Hall. ** Tower came to a place that Angel was very familiar with—BarButterfly Bar.
When leaving BarButterfly Bar, ** Tower’s face sank slightly.
He recorded Angel’s appearance with his communicator. He just went to inquire the information in BarButterfly Bar and thought it would take a while for the information to be searched. However, he only had to show Angel’s image to the information seller, and the other person immediately identified him.
Other information wasn’t of much importance, but just being Sanders disciple made ** Tower’s expression change greatly.
“It seems that I can’t touch him for the time being.” ** Tower murmured.
