It was Leon's first time visiting a city in the wizarding world, so he was curious about the shops run by supernaturals.
While following Angor's lead, they kept looking at the shops along the street.
One of the shops caught his attention.
It was a strange-looking iron house with two symmetrical chimneys on the roof, which looked like two ears. The shop's sign was also quite interesting. There was an outline of a cat's ear at the front.
At first glance, it looked quite cute.
"Bloodline Training Ground for Long Ears?" Leon looked at the words on the sign.
Leon could understand these phrases individually, but when they were put together, he was a little confused.
What was this shop for?
Leon suddenly heard a hoarse voice beside him. He turned around and saw Nausica talking to him. "Leon. Is it okay if I call you Leon?"
Leon nodded.
"You're interested in this shop?" Nausica looked at the strange-looking "Bloodline Training Ground for Long Ears".
"I saw the word 'bloodline' on it, so I'm curious," Leon said.
"This shop specializes in special training for people with bloodlines that have mutated ears." Nausica looked at Leon from head to toe. "You haven't fused with your bloodline yet, so you can't enter. Even if you do, you won't be able to enter. "
Nausica's words were a little contradictory.
Angor pointed at a notice board on the other side of the shop. Leon saw several words clearly written on it: "Bloodline Training Ground for Long Ears Only."
"That's the rule of Munshi's Magic Material Street," Angor said. "There are many shops here. If you don't meet certain requirements, you won't even be able to enter."
As expected, Leon followed Angor down the stairs and saw that most of the shops had mandatory requirements for entry.
"Wizard level only", "Male form not allowed", "Rune Sorcerers only" …
This was blatant discrimination in front of the shop's entrance.
Most importantly, Leon found that as long as there were hard conditions set, he basically did not meet any of them.
Apart from these, there were also some ideological ones.
For example, Leon saw an alchemy shop with several lines of words written in crimson blood on the door of the shop: "Do not enter my shop, or you will suffer the consequences. "
The Centrus School was the mainstream school of biological alchemy.
Of course, even if you agree with the Centrus Sect, it's fine as long as you don't show it. In any case, the conditions for this kind of ideology would depend on free evidence.
When they reached the middle of Munshi's Magic Material Street, he pointed at a nearby magic material shop and said, "I'm going to buy some materials. Wait for me."
If it was in the past, Leon would definitely have followed them in. However, after seeing all the weird requirements of the various shops along the way, Leon learned to look at the door prompts first.
"Fingernail Alchemy House." Leon first looked at the name of the shop, then turned his gaze and found that there were no restrictions at the entrance. "Could it be that this shop doesn't have any requirements to enter?"
Angor walked to the door and began talking to a wooden puppet in the shape of a human.
Leon had no idea what they were talking about. He only knew that they were talking about "enchantment".
A moment later, the puppet bowed to Angor and pointed inside the shop. "Sir, you've passed the test. Please come in."
So this was a test? Leon pondered.
Nausica explained what was going on. To enter the alchemy house, one had to pass several questions about alchemy knowledge. Otherwise, one would be rejected.
"Isn't this a shop that sells alchemy materials? Alchemists aren't the only ones who can use them, right? " Leon was a little confused. Only alchemists could go in and buy materials? That was too strict.
"If you're not an alchemist, you can tell the puppet what you want to buy, and it will send someone else to bring it out." Nausica paused. "But you can't go in."
"Why?"
"Because these alchemy houses have another function, which is to give alchemists a space to interact with each other. I heard that this Fingernail Alchemy House has a lot of apprentice alchemists talking inside, "Nausica explained." There are many other shops like this. "
"I think so. But do I have to go through this test every time?" Leon frowned. Wouldn't it be troublesome if he had to do this every time?
Nausica explained patiently, "If you have an ID card from Floating Mech City or Sky Tower, you can go through the test. Once you go in and register, you won't need to go through this test again. "
"I see. Angor didn't show his ID card before. Does he not have one?"
Nausica chuckled. "Of course he has an ID card. He just doesn't want to use it. I can't tell you the details. Why don't you ask him yourself when he comes out? "
…
Angor did not know that he was about to expose himself in front of Leon.
After passing the test of the incense puppet, he walked into the nail alchemy house.
Of course, he did not need to do the test. He could simply tell the puppet what he wanted to buy and let it check the stock. However, as an alchemist, he wanted to see the materials with his own eyes. Besides, many rare materials might not be sold without asking the shop owner in person.
As soon as he entered the Fingernail Alchemy House, he was stopped by a short and chubby female apprentice.
"I don't think I've seen you before. Are you from outside?" Although the female apprentice was a little plump, her exposed skin was white and smooth. Coupled with her babyface, she did not look annoying. "I don't mean to interrogate you about your background. It's just that from your conversation with Neha, you seem to be on the path of enchantment?"
Neha was the Incense Puppet outside. Angor's test was based on his field of expertise. Neha's test was all about enchantment.
"I just came to Floating Mech City recently, and I'm studying enchantment." Angor tried to walk around her.
"I'm Bo Li. I don't mean any harm. I'm also an enchantment apprentice." Bo Li paused and explained why she stopped Angor. "There's a debate going on over there. It's about enchantment and reconciliation. Do you want to join?"
Angor looked around and saw two groups of people arguing fiercely.
Angor thought only alchemists would be involved in such an important debate. But it turned out they were all apprentice alchemists.
Among them, there were very few people who stood on the side of enchantment. The Harmony Faction had an overwhelming number of people and was mercilessly crushing the small fry.
But even so, the Enchantment Apprentice Alchemist didn't surrender.
Angor even heard his name being mentioned in the debate.
Perhaps they were using him as an example to prove their point.
Angor rubbed his nose. This was … a strange feeling.
Probably because there were too few enchantment apprentices, Bo Li overheard the conversation between Angor and Neha. She did not care who Angor was and wanted to drag him into the debate.
"May I?" Bo Li saw that Angor did not respond. "Maybe you're not used to this kind of debate. We're all like this in Floating Mech City. Only by thinking can we make progress. "
What Bo Li said made sense, but Angor still refused. "No, thanks. I have something else to do."
Enchantment and reconciliation was a classic debate in Tooling. But it was also a difficult debate. The only answer Angor could come up with was that reconciliation had a higher upper limit, while enchantment was easier.
Even a master alchemist could not solve such a classic debate, let alone a bunch of apprentice alchemists.
Bo Li was a little disappointed. She wanted to dissuade him, but at this time, a tall and handsome man walked forward. "Enchantment is a small path. No matter how many people you pull, it's useless."
The man looked at Angor from head to toe as he spoke.
The man's greasy clothes and unkempt face made him look unkempt. The man frowned and looked at Angor with disgust.
Bo Li continued, "You said reconciliation has a higher upper limit. Then let me ask you, is Mystery Domain a high upper limit? But give me an example. In the past thousand years, has any reconciliation school in the southern wizarding region ever touched Mystery Domain? No, right? "
"I know you're going to talk about Angor again. He's just an exception."
"Then there should be an exception for reconciliation?"
Angor frowned as he listened to the two people arguing about himself in front of him.
Actually, he did not think these two people were arguing about the right thing to do. This was because the debate on this kind of classic topic required a clash of thoughts, an elaboration of the density of knowledge, a discussion of technology, and the intertwining of classic cases. In the end, they pulled this kind of topic down from the altar and put it on the level of the market to debate.
Angor could see the man's disgust, but he did not feel uncomfortable at all. The man did not say anything too extreme, and Angor was not a hothead who would try to prove himself just because someone looked down on him.
He was glad that he rejected Bo Li's invitation. If he lost his mind and went to argue with them, it would be a real nightmare.
Angor ignored the argument and quickly walked to the counter not far away.
The man looked at Angor with even more disdain. He couldn't help but snort in disdain.
Bo Li sighed. This foreign apprentice alchemist could have used this chance to join the enchantment circle in Floating Mech City, but he rejected her invitation.
"Now that you've missed the chance, it'll be hard for you to join the circle again." Bo Li shook her head in disappointment.
