Leo cursed in his heart. Why are you so polite now? Do you know that I'm your senior?
"Oh, what's your name? Which force are you from? What stage are you at?" Leo ignored Okuyama Domoto. Even a fallen phoenix wouldn't care about such a character. At least, Okuyama Domoto wasn't worthy of it yet.
"Wang Zhong, Tyrants, Apprentice. I want to try out my alchemy sub-profession." Wang Zhong saw that Domoto didn't expose him, but he didn't either. After all, Domoto had received some benefits from him.
Leo didn't continue talking and turned on his Skylink. No one knew what he was doing, but Leo had already informed Master Murphy immediately. He had been tormented by this matter recently, and he could finally report to Master Murphy. He wanted to cry, but not now. He had to stay calm because he still couldn't judge what Master Murphy's attitude towards him was. Before he could decide which side to stand on, he shouldn't pick a side and should stay neutral.
"Leo, we have to ensure that the selection is fair and just. This is the principle of the Alchemist Union. Tell me the cause and effect. Why did you expel him?" Leo started to smooth things over. With his level, it was more than enough to deal with Okuyama Domoto.
Okuyama Domoto was stunned. He didn't expect Leo to come up with something like this. What was he trying to do? Stand up for this trash?
"There's going to be a good show."
"What's going on? Wang Zhong again? He's really a troublemaker. "
The surrounding newcomers who were participating in the assessment were originally very nervous, but after this commotion, their nervousness was alleviated a lot, and there was a lot of discussion.
Noraba was also in a corner of this examination venue. He had actually made a lot of progress in the past six months and had always been in the first echelon of newcomers. He was one of the people who had the confidence to pass the Thousand Gorge Fish Forest, but it was obvious that this guy knew too well the importance of the Holy Disciple qualification for newcomers, so he decided to add double insurance. His alchemy results were not bad, and he had a few seniors from the Tyrants to take care of him. He had also done a lot of alchemy experiments in the past six months, so he had a chance to take the apprentice assessment. As for the secret realm, he wasn't in a hurry. It would be safer to wait for the first-hand information. Noraba might be a little unruly in the Federation, but his personality was quite popular in the Tyrants.
It was just that there were too many people signing up on the first day. It was too crowded in the morning. Before they could even line up, the quota for the morning was already full. He had waited until the afternoon, when there were fewer people in the queue. Coincidentally, he was in the same batch as Wang Zhong. At this moment, he could not help but sigh inwardly.
The last time Noraba reminded Wang Zhong that someone in the Tyrants would mess with him, it was actually because of Okuyama Domoto. Domoto had the backing of someone in the Alchemy Union, and he was quite influential among the Holy Disciples in the Tyrants. Several Senior Brothers in the Tyrants had heard about him and Wang Zhong and wanted to please him. They all wanted to make Wang Zhong their first target. Noraba heard about it at that time, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only remind Wang Zhong secretly. Fortunately, Wang Zhong often disappeared and did not show up in the Tyrants' territory. As a result, those people did not have a chance to attack him.
However, he did not expect that this guy would be the invigilator for today's alchemy assessment, and Wang Zhong just happened to be here to take the test. Wasn't he asking for it … Noraba was a little hesitant. For a moment, he wanted to say something to help Wang Zhong, but this idea only flashed in his mind for a moment before he dispelled it. Although he had a good impression of Wang Zhong, that was all. The two of them were not even friends. If it was just a small matter, he could help, but this kind of thing would affect his future … Forget it. Moreover, this guy was so reckless. He was even more arrogant than the other party in the other party's territory. He was simply asking for trouble. Even if Noraba wanted to help him, there was nothing he could do.
Wang Zhong was done for.
Letting out a sigh, Noriba straightened his collar. He had decided to quietly be a handsome man, and watch his brother turn into ashes, while he would silently light an incense stick for him. That way, he would not let them get to know each other in vain.
"Isn't it enough for him to blow up three buildings in an experimental accident?" Okuyama Domoto had already suppressed his anger and repeated himself. The main reason was that he was not sure if Leo wanted to stand up for this kid or if he just wanted to make his presence known. If it was the latter, he would just need to explain a little more. There was no need for the two invigilators to fall out first.
"Oh, that's a ward experiment, right? What does it have to do with alchemy? " Leo acted as though he didn't understand what Wang Zhong was talking about. The chattering around him allowed him to roughly understand what crimes Wang Zhong had committed in the past. He really was … a living troublemaker. Leo wiped off his cold sweat. Looks like not cleaning up the workshop was already being lenient. If not, he would be in an even more miserable state!
"An experimental accident! An accident is an accident. Senior, did you do it on purpose? "Okuyama Domoto had already lost his patience.
"How can you say that it was on purpose?" Leo frowned. "The truth is the truth. Besides, the Holy City has already punished him for what he did previously. We have no right to pursue it. Domoto, don't cause trouble! Okay, everyone, continue with the test. Don't affect the progress of the assessment! "
"Wait!" Okuyama Domoto's expression had completely changed and turned cold.
Frankly speaking, if it was the Leo of the past, Okuyama Domoto would never dare to speak to him like this. But now, he really did not care about Leo at all. Wang Zhong was a guy who had lost his backer in the Alchemy Union. Although he was a five-star metallurgist, so what? A lone five-star metallurgist was like a pile of sh * t because he had no power in the Union and could not do anything to him at all. On the contrary, if there was a conflict between the two of them, the person behind him could easily crush Leo to death. If he let this go today, he would become a joke.
Previously, he was only polite to Wang Zhong because he did not want to be known as a bully. Did this guy really think that he was his senior?
"Leo, don't you know what kind of situation you are in in the Alchemy Union? I'm giving you face by calling you senior, but you have to know what's good for you. Don't think too highly of yourself! " Okuyama Domoto said coldly, "I'm definitely going to expel this kid today. Do you really think you can interfere?"
Leo was stunned. Although he knew that this guy did not really respect him, he was still infuriated when he heard such words. A fallen phoenix was really not as good as a chicken, and he was not someone that a duckling could provoke. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard someone say from the door, "No noise in the examination hall. Domoto, Leo, how are you invigilating the exam? What's with all the noise! "
Although he was berating both of them at the same time, the person who came in from the door was obviously glaring at Leo with murderous eyes.
Okuyama Domoto secretly sneered and bowed respectfully to that person. "Teacher Elnic!"
The hall immediately quieted down. The person who had just arrived was about 40 years old. He was short and plump, but he walked with a powerful aura. He looked at Leo coldly, like an eagle looking at a quail.
Elnic, a 10-star alchemist in the Alchemy Union. He was considered a big shot in the Alchemy Union.
Back then, with Great Master Murphy's trust, Leo was quite famous. There were many people like Elnic in the Alchemy Union, but Leo did not pay much attention to him. He only vaguely remembered that he had worked with him a few times because of the Alchemy Union. Of course, Leo was the leader, and Elnic was the assistant. Elnic did not seem to like bootlicking and was rather conceited. He had even been scolded by Leo before.
Why? Was he Okuyama Domoto's teacher?
On the other side, Elnic simply listened to what had happened and looked at Wang Zhong. Frankly speaking, he wasn't interested in Wang Zhong at all. He was more interested in Leo. When this guy was in power in the Alchemy Union, many opportunities and resources that should have belonged to him were distributed to others because Elnic did not flatter him. Otherwise, Okuyama might have become a Great Master by now.
Elnic sneered and looked at Leo. "A person who can't even understand wards and comes to dabble in alchemy. Is such a person worthy of being an alchemist? Not to mention the fact that he is prone to accidents, just based on his personality, he is not qualified to be an alchemist at all. What does he think the Three Great Secondary Professions are? Does he think he can do whatever he wants? There is nothing wrong with Okuyama Domoto's invigilator's judgment. Leo, on the other hand, why are you so protective of him? Did you receive some benefits? "
Leo's message to Great Master Murphy did not receive any response. In fact, Leo was not very confident. In fact, he could have asked Wang Zhong to leave him his contact in private, but after searching for him for several months, he felt like he was possessed. Now that he saw Wang Zhong, there was only one thing in his mind that wanted to hold onto him tightly and wait for Great Master Murphy to come. He was afraid that Wang Zhong would leave his sight.
At this time, when he heard Elnic's sarcastic tone, Leo was furious, but he did not dare to explode. Who knew if Great Master Murphy still cared about this guy called Wang Zhong? He could only hang in there and stall for one more second. He had tried his best. "It doesn't matter whether he is qualified or not. As an invigilator, I'm just protecting the rights of a candidate. He did not commit any crime in the examination, so no one has any reason to expel him."
"Haha, I've given you some face, and you're already so arrogant. Do I need your permission to expel him? Do I need a reason? "Elnic said coldly." Don't forget your current status. Don't you know how to respect your superiors? You're just a mere 5-star alchemist who relied on your connections. Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this? "
Leo wanted to put up a fight, but he endured it. His talent was not as good as Elnic's. Without Murphy, he would definitely be trampled to death. Since Wang Zhong had been found, he could just expel him. It was not like he was going to die.
Seeing that Leo was silent, Elnic smiled proudly and clapped his hands. There was a series of rustling sounds outside the door, and two rows of guards, a total of ten people, rushed in.
Elnic was slightly stunned. There seemed to be a lot of people. Today, the Alchemy Union had arranged ten to twenty guards to maintain order, but it was impossible for all of them to be waiting outside for his orders … However, he did not have the time to think about it in detail. Anyway, they were all wearing the silver armor of the Alchemy Union's guards, so there didn't seem to be anything wrong with them. Elnic looked at Leo and Wang Zhong with a hint of ridicule. "Throw this person out!"
The hall was silent. Noraba and the countless candidates all swallowed their saliva. An alchemy test actually required the Alchemy Union's silver-armored guards …
Wang Zhong did not know whether to laugh or cry. Things seemed to have gotten out of hand, and Leo was purely a hindrance. That Elnic was obviously targeting him, and Wang Zhong had suffered an undeserved calamity. If not, Okuyama Domoto would have been provoked by him to attack, and Wang Zhong would have taken the opportunity to beat him up.
It could not be helped. Things had already come to this. These were the Alchemy Union's guards, and it was not a matter of whether he could defeat them or not. Fighting with the guards was going against the Holy Land's rules, and it was not a private fight. These were two completely different matters.
On the other hand, Elnic was in high spirits and felt extremely good. When Leo distributed the resources that should have belonged to him, he did not dare to make a sound. He had already imagined such a scene in his mind countless times. Unfortunately, even though he had given the order, the guards did not react at all. They stood there motionlessly like wooden statues.
Elnic was stunned. "Why are you standing there like a fool? Didn't you hear what I said?! Do it! "
"What a bad temper." A cold voice sounded behind him.
"Who the hell dares to …" Elnic was furious. As a 10-star metallurgist and the person in charge of the Alchemy Union's apprentice and alchemist assessment, how could he not have the right to speak here? He was too arrogant.
He turned his head abruptly, but his gaze froze, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat. He saw a middle-aged man with a dignified aura striding in with his hands behind his back.
With the appearance of this person, the originally quiet hall, as well as the examinees waiting for the assessment outside, all screamed.
"Great Master Murphy!"
"Oh my god, Teacher Murphy actually came to the novice assessment area?! Are my eyes playing tricks on me? "
"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Noraba's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Subconsciously, Noraba felt that things were going in a different direction. Yes, because this involved Wang Zhong. Damn it, could he really turn the tables???
This middle-aged metallurgist was too famous. He was Great Master Murphy, one of the three strongest metallurgist masters. Compared to many Heroic Soul Stage soldiers, he was the only one who forged weapons for Heroic Soul Stage soldiers.
As a result, Murphy had a supreme status in the Holy City, especially in the hearts of Heroic Soul Stage soldiers. Perhaps there were more amazing metallurgist masters than Murphy in the Holy City, but there was definitely no one more famous than him. His image was also made into a poster as the signboard of Murphy's Alchemy Workshop. It was plastered all over the streets and alleys of the Holy City, and it was hard not to recognize him. At the same time, he was also the vice-president of the Alchemy Union and had an absolutely pivotal position in the alchemy industry in the Holy City!
Elnic's mind was about to explode … Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for this person to appear here, and it was absolutely impossible for him to stand up for Leo. This … What was going on?
Elnic's mind was a little muddled, and Okuyama Domoto, who was beside him, was even more scared out of his wits. He didn't dare to say a word.
