Behind the door was a basement passage. It was dark and deep. There was a lot of faint human odor floating out. Dean was surprised. He didn't expect the underground market to be so lively. He could identify hundreds of people based on the smell. Although the special potion could cover up the smell, but it couldn't completely eradicate it.
"Come with me." Mouse led the way as he was very familiar with the place.
Dean followed behind him.
They went down the dark stairs. The copper lamps on the wall shone on them. Their shadows were very long.
There was a four or five meter long corridor under the spiral stairs. There were black-robed guards stationed at the end of the corridor. Dean and Mouse came to the door. The black-robed guards opened the door. A mysterious and novel dark underground market was presented in front of them.
This was a huge underground square. It was dimly lit, and the lights on the surrounding walls lit up the place like dancing elves. There were all kinds of stalls everywhere, as well as large-scale simple shops. All kinds of novelty items were freely being sold here.
Dudian was surprised as he didn't expect the underground market to be so big. It must be known that the people who could enter the underground market were alchemists, potioneers and other staff of the dark church. There were more than a hundred merchants selling things in front of him. As for the customers, they were all over the square. It was estimated that there were at least three hundred people gathered here.
It was the first time for Dean to see so many 'evil people' of the dark church at the same time. There was a strange feeling in his heart. At this time, mouse pointed to a direction and said: "There is an alchemy table. Come with me."
Dean followed behind mouse. Although the surrounding light was dim, he could see clearly from far away. It was a simple shop built on the square. It was slightly larger than the bookstalls next to it. There were rows of alchemy tables on the left side of the shop. There were various bottles and strange things on the right side of the shop. He even saw a black claw. He didn't know what it was from.
"Boss!" Mouse called out to the shop owner: "Let's see the alchemy table."
The shop owner was tall and wore a dark red mask. He looked at mouse and Dean. From their height and voices, he knew that they were two children. Most of them were alchemist apprentices or potioneers apprentices. He was too lazy to say much: "Look at it yourself. Pick and pay."
Mouse was obviously used to it. He pointed to an alchemy table made of birch and stone: "Hound, what do you think of this?"
Dean looked at it: "Are the prices different?"
"Of course." Mouse was very experienced, he said: "This is the cheapest, only two silver coins, it's enough for us Junior Apprentices. Of course, if you have money, you can also buy a higher grade one, for example, this one costs four silver coins, it has a storage slot, it's more convenient, and it's a lot better in both drawing water and igniting fire, and this one costs seven silver coins … …"
He pointed row by row, and his finger landed on the alchemy table at the top. "That one is amazing, and it costs two gold coins. It has an automatic fire plug, and it can automatically clean the pot ash. There are also two refining ponds, which are essential for some complicated laboratories."
Dean glanced at it. It seemed to be made of brass. The material and appearance were more imposing and stable than the previous ones. However, he only had one gold coin on him, so he couldn't spend it all.
"This one." Dean pointed to the one that cost two silver coins.
The shop owner glanced at him. It seemed that he had expected it.: "Pay and report the address. If it is in the residential area, I will deliver it to you by tomorrow evening."
"They will help us deliver it?" Dean was surprised.
The mouse smiled and said, "Of course, we can't carry such a big guy. Moreover, it's too easy to be exposed. They have a secret transportation channel that can transport it without anyone knowing. Even if you're a noble, they can still transport it for you. Of course, you have to cooperate."
Dean was shocked. Dark Church's power had penetrated so deep?
At this time, Mouse suddenly grabbed Dean and pulled him to the side: "Let me pass."
Dean was stunned for a moment. Following his line of sight, he saw two figures coming from behind. A man and a woman wearing a crow mask came to the front of the shop. On their shoulders, there were dark golden hexagonal badges. It was the Meteorite Badge!
"Official alchemist!" Dean immediately knew the reason why mouse hurriedly stepped aside. Both of them were official alchemists, especially the tall one. He was wearing a meteorite badge with three small suns engraved on it. He was a three-star alchemist!
From Rosyard's notes, Dean learned about the division of alchemists. From apprentice to five-star master alchemist, every increase in star required a lot of alchemy points. It was often necessary to submit several experimental results in order to accumulate enough alchemy points.
A three star alchemist was basically equivalent to a Holy Knight in the Holy Church. This was second only to the commander of the knights. Their status was extremely high. Even a noble family like the Mel family had to be polite to them.
"Boss, do you have a good alchemy table?" At this moment, the three-star alchemist said to the shop owner. His voice was low and hoarse. It was obvious that he deliberately lowered his voice.
The shop owner saw the Meteor Badge on their shoulders, and his eyes turned cold. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Yes, a new batch just came out. They were made by Master Rolle himself. His War Craftsman skills guarantee that you will be satisfied. This is it." He pointed to the alchemy table at the top.
The three-star alchemist looked at the table and looked at the graceful figure next to him: "What do you think?"
The woman's meteorite badge was two suns. She could be regarded as a big figure. She looked at the table and shook her head: "It's too bad. There is no decomposition pond. There is also no thermal pond."
"That's true." The tall figure pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's go look for it again."
"Forget it." The woman sighed: "This market should be a monopoly. My experimental report has been submitted. I will soon receive a call from the top. Let's use this for now."
The tall figure hesitated for a moment and helplessly said: "Okay."
The two immediately paid and bought the table from the shop owner.
Dean and Mouse watched them leave, and then retracted their gaze.
Mouse sighed with emotion: "We can't afford it, but they think it's too bad. Sure enough, we have too little contact. Alchemy is too profound. Unfortunately, they didn't talk much, otherwise, we might have been enlightened from their conversation."
Dudian was surprised: "She said that the experimental report should be submitted to the dark church? Why didn't she wait for the experiment to be completed and then submit the results directly? "
Mouse shrugged and said, "They want to get alchemy credits as soon as possible. Many alchemy warlocks are worried that their experiments will be researched by others in advance, so they submit their ideas first. If the evaluation is valuable, it will be converted into corresponding alchemy credits. Of course, there is another possibility. Some people suddenly have other experimental inspiration but they are busy with the experiment at hand. They don't have the energy to do it. Or they are too lazy to collect materials. So they will submit their own experimental report or experimental creative conjecture. If it is verified to be feasible then they will be given alchemy points. "
