Dean nodded slightly and followed her: "Is this a new alchemy nest?"
"Almost." Nightingale answered vaguely. She suddenly thought of something and asked: "I almost forgot to ask. Are you an apprentice alchemist or have you joined the dark church and become an official alchemist?"
Dean quickly thought about her words and truthfully said, "I'm still a trainee."
Nightingale let out an "oh" and suddenly changed the topic. "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for nearly four years. You suddenly left and completely lost contact with me. Did you encounter any trouble?"
Dean nodded slightly: "A little trouble, but it's over now."
Nightingale smiled: "It's okay. Do you have your own alchemy point now?"
Dean's eyes lit up: "I have one, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. If you have time, I can take you to see the Rats. Their gathering place is in this town, not far from here. If you have the need in the future, you can study with them," Nightingale said with a smile.
Dean's heart moved: "The mice aren't with you?"
Nightingale slightly shook her head. At this time, the two came to the door along the lawn. The guard at the door recognized Nightingale and opened the door for them.
"Come with me. There are many big people here. Try to keep quiet." Nightingale whispered. She led the way after entering the door.
The hall was dimly lit, and the walls were not lit by oil lamps, but by diamond-shaped crystals. It was said that this was a crystallized body of a special kind of monster, and this kind of monster was also the main target of hunters, so it was extremely valuable.
The furnishings in the hall were moved to the side so that they could return at any time. There were four attendants standing under a huge oil painting in the main hall. One of them saw Nightingale coming over and looked at Dean. One of the attendants asked: "Who is he?"
"My assistant." Nightingale said.
The attendant looked at Dean but didn't say anything. He turned around and pushed the wall next to him. There was a slight rumbling sound. The wall under the oil painting slowly split open and revealed a dark passage.
Nightingale went in first. When it was Dean's turn, the attendant suddenly reached out and stopped him: "We need to eliminate your smell. Please close your eyes."
Dean looked at Nightingale and slowly closed his eyes.
He felt a fine powder falling from his body. The powder had a strong earthy smell, and it covered up his smell.
"Go in," the attendant said.
Dean opened his eyes and saw Nightingale waiting in front of him. He immediately followed her.
After he entered, the passageway slowly closed and returned to the appearance of a wall.
The surrounding light was dim, but Dean could see very clearly. He followed Nightingale along the curved passage. Soon, the light was much brighter. They came to a huge square surrounded by high rock walls. The dome was also made of soil, but it was embedded with shining crystals. There was a striking building in front of the square. It was as majestic as the magistrate, but it had a bit more gloomy atmosphere.
"That's a branch of the Dark Church." Nightingale whispered.
Dean couldn't help but look at it. He was shocked. He didn't expect that there was another world under the seemingly ordinary manor of a rich businessman. Such a huge underground structure was an extremely huge project, beyond his imagination.
"Nightingale."
At this time, a clear and bright voice echoed.
Nightingale and Dean turned their heads and saw two figures coming from the square. One was a man and the other was a woman. The man was wearing a golden robe and a dog mask. The woman was wearing a dark red robe and a rose mask. Her eyes and cheeks were covered, but the lower half of her face and lips were exposed. It was very eye-catching and sexy.
"Golden, rose." Nightingale smiled as she saw the two of them.
They came closer and looked at Dean. The golden-robed youth with the code name Golden laughed: "You brought a new friend? Why don't you introduce him to us? "
Nightingale seemed to be a bit embarrassed, but still said: "This is a friend I've known for a long time. His name is Hound."
"Hound?" The woman in the rose mask glanced at the golden armor beside her and said, "Golden Armor, that's a suitable code name. Speaking of which, what does your friend do? Is he like you? Does he major in metal research?"
Nightingale looked at Dudian: "I remember that you were studying the stone materials, right?"
Dean nodded slightly: "I learn a little bit of everything. I don't have a major direction for the time being."
"Learn everything?" The golden armor glanced at him and said, "It's not that I want to talk too much, but you have to major in one area to have a way out. The world of alchemy is vast and profound. If you learn everything, even if you study for 100 years, you might not be able to achieve much.
Rose asked: "Have you got a one-star status?"
Dean shook his head: "No, I'm still in the apprentice stage."
"Apprentice?" Golden and Rose were surprised. They looked at Nightingale: "Is he an apprentice?"
Nightingale looked around and whispered: "Don't be so loud."
Golden and Rose looked at each other. Rose couldn't help but say: "How can you bring an apprentice in? Even if he is your friend, you can't break the rules. Only those who have officially joined the church can come here. You should let him leave."
Nightingale whispered: "It's okay. I can bring an assistant. It's okay if he comes in as my assistant."
Golden smiled slightly: "You are really good. He is just an apprentice. What's the point of bringing him here? It's better to let him wait outside."
"It's okay since he is here." Nightingale looked at Dean and diverted the topic: "Did you come here today to submit the experimental report?"
"Yes." Golden patted his golden robe. They could see the outline of a square. He said: "My experiment has made some progress. I hope it will pass the review."
"Me too." Rose sighed and said, "I hope the direction of this research is right and I can pass the review. I still need 12 points to get a one-star medal."
The golden armor looked at Nightingale and said, "What about you? Are you here to submit a report too? Speaking of which, your alloy method inspired me a lot. Have you made any new progress this time?"
Nightingale nodded: "I have gained something."
"Then let's go together." Rose immediately said.
Nightingale hesitated and looked at Dean: "Would you like to wait for us here?"
