"Salin, you can't say no." Hockina took a step back and stood beside Salin.
"Why? Alchemy City has such a rule? " Salin remembered that Rex had taught him everything along the way. Alchemy City's taboos didn't seem to have been forgotten. He didn't remember such a rule for duels. To Magicians, duels were very stupid. After the demise of the knight class, duels became a way for the lowest mercenaries to settle disputes.
"But I hate him. He smells weird." Hockina covered her nose and looked at the gray robe Magician with a strange expression. The gray robe Magician was both sad and angry. He had already used Cleansing to get rid of the smell many times, but it seemed to seep into his skin when it touched his skin. He couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
Not to mention Hockina, even he couldn't help but feel disgusted. It felt like he had entered a nest of scavengers. The scavengers were feeding their babies, and the babies were throwing their rotten organs all over the ground.
"Hockina, this is not a reason for me to do anything." Salin wasn't moved by Hockina's expression. Hockina pouted and wanted to say something, but she saw the cold and calm aura in Salin's blue eyes. She couldn't breathe.
Damn it, this guy's heart must have been soaked by water magic. He has no feelings.
Salin lowered his head and looked at Hockina's sad expression. He ignored the gray robe Magician. What made him even more depressed was that everyone around Salin stopped. None of them looked at him.
If someone told him to move, he could find an excuse to argue with them. Now that Salin and the others didn't even speak or look at him, he was at his wit's end. He couldn't always block the door. This was Alchemy City, not his home.
"Are you a man or not?!" The gray robe Magician grabbed Salin and vented his anger. He walked two steps closer and glared at Salin.
Salin finally raised his head and asked calmly, "Are you a woman or not?"
Rex couldn't help but laugh. Salin's words were vicious. As expected, the Magician heard Salin's words and raised his eyebrows. He couldn't help but show a violent expression.
He crossed his hands, twisted his index and middle fingers, and chanted a spell, ready to release magic. Salin was stunned. The other party was a Gray Robed Mage. Could it be that he didn't even know how to cast an instant spell?
However, Salin didn't want to suffer a magic attack for no reason. He took a step forward and rushed to the front of the gray-robed Mage. He raised his hand and threw a punch.
Salin had never practiced any martial arts techniques, much less Sword Qi. However, he had seen it many times, so this step was quite decent. Before the gray-robed Mage could prepare his magic, Salin's fist had already hit his nose.
With a crack, the joint in the middle of the gray-robed mage's nose broke, and his nose tilted to one side. The spell was interrupted, and the gray robed mage's vision went black. He suddenly stopped breathing and fell to the ground. The three people behind him turned pale with fright and pulled out their swords at the same time.
"He just fainted. If you guys make a move, he'll definitely die." Salin shook his slightly painful hand. He had used too much strength in that punch. Because he didn't dare to use magic, his hand was completely unprotected. He broke his opponent's nose, and his fist hurt a lot.
Hopkina laughed. Sarin's behavior was beyond her expectations. As a Magician, using one's fist to hit someone was indeed not breaking the rules of Alchemy City. If the three Swordsmen opposite him could hurt Salin with magic, the result would be the same.
However, Sword Qi and Magic Strings couldn't coexist. Even if these three Great Swordsmen changed professions halfway, they were only magic apprentices. At most, they could stand on the spot and release Level-0 magic. During that time, a Magician could beat the three of them up.
"Don't cause trouble in Alchemy City." Hockina pushed the three angry guys away and entered the lift. She ignored the swords in the hands of the three Great Swordsmen, but Salin didn't dare to be careless.
"If you guys don't leave, I'll call for the patrollers of Alchemy City." Salin propped up his Ice Patterned Armor. Nelis and Shika both stepped forward, blocking the opponent's path of attack.
Alchemy City had a lot of rules, but many things couldn't be restricted by rules. For example, this gray robe Magician had tried to attack Salin with magic just now. If people were crazy, they could do anything.
The young master wasn't dead, so the three Great Swordsmen didn't dare to do anything. They put away their swords, held up the gray robe Magician, and made way.
Walking into the lift, Rex said in a praising tone, "Salin, your punch just now was beautiful!" In Qin Yin's language, beautiful also meant perfect. Salin's punch hit the gray robe Magician just as he was about to finish his spell. The magic backlash that was neither light nor heavy made the gray robe Magician faint.
If Salin's attack had been a little earlier, the gray robe Magician would have broken his nose at most, and he wouldn't have fainted. If the attack had been a little slower, the power of the magic backlash would have been a thousand times stronger. Maybe the gray robe Magician's head would have exploded, and Salin's fist wouldn't have survived.
From the perspective of martial arts, Salin's punch was full of loopholes. But from the perspective of magic calculation, Salin's punch was indeed perfect.
Salin cast Spring Rain on his fist and said, "That hurts. That guy's nose is so hard. Huo Jinna, who is he? Why doesn't he know the rules? "
"How would I know who he is? There are so many outsiders in Alchemy City. I can't be bothered to get to know them." Salin's words just now made Huo Jinna angry. Her request was ignored by Salin.
"But he attacked you right in front of you. Don't you want to investigate? At least teach him a lesson. If all outsiders are like this, won't Alchemy City be in chaos? "
"That's the Elemental Hand's business. It has nothing to do with the Alchemy Tower."
"Nothing to do with it? What if he hurt you by accident? "
"Hurt me? Hmph, that Cloud Stream bastard. If he dares to hurt me, my master will send people to kill them all. "Huo Jinna's face was full of murderous intent. She had accidentally revealed a bit of the person's identity. It was obvious that she knew where he came from.
The elevator slid upwards. The sound of the noose was heavy. It seemed like it hadn't even been greased.
Huo Jinna's words made Salin wary. The people of Alchemy City weren't kind people. In the future, if he saw someone with the Alchemy City mark, it would be best not to attack unless he could kill all the witnesses.
The elevator door opened. Huo Jinna walked out and turned back to Salin. "Don't be so nervous. There are many people like this in Alchemy City. They are very arrogant when they first come, but they will grow up after a while."
"Aren't you curious? A Level Four Sorcerer can be so rash. "Salin didn't give up. He still wanted to know something from Huo Jinna.
Huo Jinna smiled slyly. Her little nose twitched. "Salin, if you want information, you can buy it with money. Information is sold on the first floor of the Alchemy Tower."
"It'll be cheaper if I buy it from you, right?"
"I don't accept gold coins. If you can give me a few of those parts, we can be friends."
After Huo Jinna said that, Sumanno's expression turned bitter. If Salin agreed to Huo Jinna's request, he would lose his job. He would also have to return the money he had already taken from Salin.
"Friends shouldn't ask for payment."
"You think I want it? Hmph … "Seeing that Salin didn't respond, Huo Jinna couldn't help but continue," It's your luck to see me. I don't usually care about these things. I'll look after them for a day on behalf of my senior. It'll be hard for you to find me in the future. "
She had the temper of a child. Although Salin was young, he didn't act like a spoiled child anymore after his parents died. He was much more mature than his peers. Seeing Huo Jinna like this, he laughed in his heart and said, "Huo Jinna, we can't just stand here and talk. Show me the house first."
The layout of the 49th floor of the Alchemy Tower was different from the one below. The elevator faced a wide counter that was more than six meters wide. Behind it stood a beautiful woman with a kind smile. She looked at Huo Jinna and Salin bickering and didn't say anything. When Huo Jinna walked towards her, she said, "Miss Huo Jinna, why did you come here personally?"
"A friend wants to buy a house. Give me the key to Number 2."
"Yes." The woman took out an alchemy key from under the counter and gave it to Huo Jinna.
Huo Jinna's expression became cheerful again, as if she had forgotten what had happened just now. She shook the key in her hand and said to Salin, "Come and see your new house."
"Okay." Salin nodded and followed her. His Icy Vision was always on, so he saw the hidden alchemy mechanism under the counter. There were at least ten complicated alchemy crossbows facing the elevator. They weren't the kind used by the army. Salin could feel that the magic arrays on the crossbows were embedded with high-level magic cores.
The army's alchemy crossbows were cheap and versatile. The magic arrays could only be embedded with mid-level magic cores. The alchemy crossbows under the counter were banned items in any country. Salin had a feeling that the ten alchemy crossbows could easily pierce through the Ice Pattern Armor.
In fact, if someone were to cause trouble, they wouldn't even need the alchemy crossbows. The Alchemy Tower only needed to cut the noose on the elevator, and the people inside would fall to the ground.
It was very safe to live here. Even if they caused trouble, no one would come looking for them.
The area of the 49th floor was much larger than that of the 10th floor. It was decorated like a huge living room. There were many artworks on display in the hall. The ceiling was connected by magic lamps. Crystals refracted the light onto the walls, and there were huge paintings hanging on the walls.
There were four doors on each of the three sides of the hall. Huo Jinna led Salin and the others around the elevator and came to the door in the middle facing the counter. In the middle of the door was a beautiful metal lock. Huo Jinna inserted the alchemy key into it, and the door slid open.
"Come on. Whether you're satisfied or not, this house is yours when you give it to me." Huo Jinna waved her hand and let Salin and the others follow her through the door.
