The material used to build the puppet was definitely not worth five million gold coins. The most valuable part was the magic seal carved inside the puppet. The magic seal that could drive the metal parts to move like a human body had been lost. The people from Alchemy City had to find a way to disassemble the puppet and study it.
If they only sold one, the possibility of success would be very low. The puppet wouldn't be so valuable then.
After exiting the elevator, Salin saw a hall that was neither too big nor too small.
There were two vertical corridors on both sides of the hall. There was a counter in the middle. A man who looked to be in his forties stuck his head out. He took a look and smiled. "Sumanno, you got a good business this time!"
Sumanno walked up awkwardly. He took out a deposit from his pocket and gave it to the man behind the counter. The deposit was worth 1,000 gold coins. After a discount, it was still 900. However, he had owed the money for half a month and was too embarrassed to ask for change. It was good that they didn't charge him interest.
"Old Polly, I'll buy you a drink later."
"Okay. Go do your work. Don't delay business." The middle-aged man called Old Polly took the deposit and went back behind the counter. He had known Sumanno for a long time. They came to Alchemy City almost at the same time. Now that he was working for Alchemy City, he didn't starve. He would help Sumanno sometimes.
Sumanno brought Salin and the others to the corridor on the left. It was wide enough for horses to run.
As they were looking, a few people walked out of the second room on the left. The leader was a young man in a gray magic robe. The man walked over, and Sumanno hurriedly avoided him.
Salin didn't care about this arrogant man at first, but the gray robe Mage saw Rex and walked straight to him. The three people behind him tried to stop him, but failed.
"Beautiful lady, please allow me to introduce myself. I —"
"I'm busy," Rex interrupted him. Salin looked at him carefully. The man was well groomed and looked much younger than his actual age. If he didn't pay attention, Salin would really think that he was 23 or 24. Sneakily activating 'Icy Vision', Salin scanned the gray robed mage's skin and determined that he was around thirty-four or thirty-five years old.
He did not sound like a magician at all, but more like the young master of a nouveau riche family. Otherwise, he was a child of a small noble family who had never seen the world. If he was a big noble family, he wouldn't be so rude.
"Busy? I can wait. " This grey-robed mage was a bit angry at being interrupted by Rex, but he didn't dare to get angry when he saw Salin wearing a level-five mage's grey robe. If this was his hometown, he would have already ordered people to beat Salin into a cripple.
Sumano did not dare to say anything. He hurriedly walked towards the end of the corridor. The three people beside the gray-robed mage quietly pulled on his clothes, afraid that he would do something rude.
When Rex walked past him, the gray-robed mage took a deep breath with an intoxicated expression on his face. His frivolous demeanor angered Salin, but this was Alchemy City. If they fought, both sides would be in trouble. If they were in the wilderness, Salin would definitely beat this guy half to death.
How did such a person become a magician? And a Magician of the Fourth Rank!
Rex's expression was normal. When she walked past that person, she saw the markings on the three people behind him. There was an emblem embroidered on each person's collar.
Learning about emblems was a rather complicated subject. Many patterns in emblems had magic imprints, and the changes were complicated. Rex knew Qin Yin's nobles better. With just a glance, she knew that these people were not Qin Yin's.
She was angry. Although this colorful mage's robe was good, it made people unable to identify her. Even mages of the same level could not determine Rex's true strength.
The gray-robed mage was still sniffing hard. Neris sensed Salin's mood. When she walked past the mage, she suddenly let out a long exhalation … Puff!
The stench and sour smell spread in the corridor. This mage was frivolously sniffing the fragrance coming from Rex's body. This time, he almost choked to death.
Neris giggled and walked past him. She even turned her head to look at him.
Of course, Neris was not farting. This kind of thing did not come easily. Her skill in imitating sound was better than even high-level assassins. As for the smell, it was a poison sac that she accidentally got when she was collecting materials from demonic beasts in Hell of God's Punishment.
This poisonous gas was not fatal, but it was disgusting. When the poisonous gas spread, Salin was already prepared. He directly helped Shika disperse the air around him.
But the gray-robed mage was breathing hard. He was unprepared and was hit by Neris's sneak attack.
The gray-robed mage felt dizzy. His legs turned to jelly, and he lay on the ground vomiting. The three strong men behind him also felt very disgusted and retched.
These three also knew that they were attacked by the blue-eyed woman. The problem was that they had no evidence. Even if they complained to Alchemy City, Alchemy City could not care less about other people's bullsh * t.
Salin looked back at the mage who was about to vomit on the ground. He was in a good mood. You deliberately disgusted others, so I'll let you vomit to death. But the method Neris used …
Salin recalled the vivid and lifelike voice just now and felt sick to his stomach.
Rex laughed in his heart. Neris looked noble and beautiful, but the method she used was too unexpected. It was a good method, but he could not learn it. As the ruler of a country, if he learned this kind of voice, he would become the biggest joke in the world.
The last to pass by the mage was Shika. She laughed without hesitation. The three men who were retching saw the weapon on her back and knew that this person was not to be messed with. Their young master was ridiculous. If he lost his temper again, they might immediately start a conflict. Thinking of this, the three of them helped the Magician up in shame and fled.
As a swordsman, the most important quality was loyalty. But if they followed the wrong master, this loyalty would become sorrow.
Sumano did not know whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time he saw such a way of dealing with enemies. In Alchemy City, once two different groups of people had a conflict, most people would choose to tolerate it. If they could not tolerate it, they would risk being fined, stripped of all their equipment, and thrown out of the city.
Alchemy City's sorcerers and swordsmen rarely killed people, but that did not mean they were not violent. The laws they made were something that even duke-level nobles had to abide by.
Rex vented her anger and thought that it was a pity that Byrne was recuperating in Gushui Prefecture. If he was there, she would definitely not let this madman leave Qin Yin.
As a Great Magician, such despicable and obscene behavior was a disgrace to all sorcerers.
Rex was not a cold woman. She was beautiful and had a noble status. Since a few years ago, there had been many people who had expressed their love to her. Most of these people were swordsmen around her, and the way they expressed their love was very traditional. The people who expressed their love knew that there was not much hope, so they all followed etiquette. What Rex could not accept was the sorcerer's disgusting behavior. If it was not for Neris, she might not have been able to hold back and hit that guy again.
At the end of the corridor, Sumano stopped. A very sweet voice said from the door, "Come in."
Sumano then signaled to Salin, pushed the door open, and walked in.
"Lady Huo Jinna." Sumano entered the room and bowed to a girl who looked only 15 or 16 years old. The girl was wearing a long white robe, the hem of which dragged on the ground.
This girl had a young and cute face. Her lips were red, and her hair was tied up at the back of her head. She was dressed like a Cloud Flow. Her hair was black, and her nose bridge was not that high. She clearly had the face of a Qin Yin person.
"Sumano, are you here to borrow money again? Be careful, or the teacher will kick you out of Alchemy City! "the girl called Huo Jinna scolded, but she still had a sweet smile on her face.
Sumano's old face was red, but he could not refute. He did borrow money from Huo Jinna, but that was a long time ago. Huo Jinna seemed to be six or seven years old?
"Lady, this sorcerer is looking for you." Sumano turned and introduced Salin to Huo Jinna.
Salin saw that Huo Jinna was already a level-two sorcerer at such a young age, and he admired her. He gave a Mage salute and said simply, "Salin Metatlin."
"Huo Jinna Alekna," the little sorcerer answered seriously, but her long robe dragged on her feet, which was a little funny.
Huo Jinna turned around and walked behind the table. She stepped on her own robe and stumbled. She quickly picked up the hem of her robe and returned to the chair in a panic like a girl in a dress.
"Salin, don't laugh at me!" Huo Jinna said to Salin fiercely when she saw the smile in his eyes growing.
"Huo Jinna, I am not laughing at you. You remind me of when I was young. I was wearing my teacher's clothes, just like you." Salin did not laugh and said gently to Huo Jinna.
"Your teacher? Is it this sister? So strong, level-six! "Huo Jinna's words were shocking. She was only a level-two sorcerer, but she could see Rex's strength under the colorful robe.
"No, my teacher is called Jason, Jason Statham."
"I have never heard of him, but someone who can teach a great sorcerer must be very powerful. Ah! "Huo Jinna patted her smooth forehead and said," What did you say just now? "
"This sorcerer is looking for you," Sumano quickly reminded.
"Oh, yes, Sorcerer Salin. Why are you looking for me?" Huo Jinna put on a serious look again.
"I want to buy a house in the Alchemy Tower."
"Oh! I'm rich! " Huo Jinna jumped up from the chair and went straight to the table. She grabbed Salin's hand passionately and said, "How many floors do you plan to buy?"
"The higher the better."
"Yes, but the higher the floor, the more expensive it will be."
"I will give you something that will satisfy Alchemy City."
