"Welcome, young alchemist." A low and hoarse voice came from the mouth of a small old woman.
The old woman had a hunched back, and her height did not even reach Angor's waist. She was wearing a luxurious dress, and her silver hair looked neat and tidy.
Her silver hair was held in place by a fan-shaped hairpin that looked like a peacock's tail. This hairpin was very big, about half the size of her head. The "peacock plume" on it was especially special. It was a piece of brightly colored nail.
The nails on the hairpin were exactly the same as the ones on the old woman's hands.
The old woman was the owner of Fingernail Alchemy Hut, Granny Fingernail.
Angor saw this woman when he first came to Fingernail Alchemy Hut to buy materials. Back then, he already felt that Granny Fingernail was unfathomable.
Now that he saw her again, the feeling was still the same. In fact, it was even stronger than before.
Angor nodded to Granny Fingernail. "Good day. I need some materials that can nourish souls."
Granny Fingernail glanced at Angor and handed him a list of items from the counter.
Angor picked up the list and checked them one by one.
At this moment, Bo Li who was on the other side suddenly exclaimed, "Just now, the list that Granny Fingernail took out seemed to be golden?"
The man frowned when he heard Bo Li's words. "How is that possible?"
"You think I'm lying, Louis?" Bo Li glared at the man.
"I think you're mistaken. Golden lists are usually prepared for high-tier alchemists. How can an apprentice get them? "Louis said matter-of-factly.
Bo Li was speechless. She did not know how to respond. Louis was right. Angor was only an apprentice, so there was no way he could get a golden list.
She sneaked a peek at the materials on the list and found that they were all extremely valuable materials that could not be used by someone of her level.
Could it be that she really saw wrongly?
While Bo Li was still wondering, she heard the middle-aged man speaking to Granny Fingernail, "I need three standard units of Requiem Stone, a Last Soul Flower … and the bones of someone who has passed away."
When he mentioned these materials, Bo Li and Louis suddenly looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief and suspicion.
The Soul Calming Stone was one thing, but the following materials were each more amazing than the last, especially the last "Bones of the Dead", it was a top mid-grade magic material, its effect was comparable to a high-grade magic material.
While Bo Li and Louis were still in shock, the Thinkers behind them also noticed the situation. "Is he buying materials for another alchemist?" someone whispered.
"It's a waste for a low-level alchemist to use such materials. I hope Granny Fingernail won't sell them to someone who's too greedy!"
"It's not something you can make at your current level. Give it up!" Someone yelled at Angor.
However, neither Angor nor Granny Fingernail paid them any attention. It was as if they didn't exist at all.
"Granny Fingernail," Granny Fingernail.
Granny Fingernail nodded and said, "Yes, please wait for a moment. I'll ask the puppets to go to the storage to get the materials."
Granny Fingernail's reply made the person who had made a solemn vow feel embarrassed.
While waiting for the puppet to fetch the materials, Angor noticed something interesting on the list. Apart from magic materials, there were also some finished products, such as alchemy potions, perfumes, and even some scrolls made by Rune Warlocks.
However, Angor didn't see any of those scrolls that could be used for alchemy.
He looked at the scroll and thought of something. "Hey, Granny Fingernail. Do you have any scrolls that can increase luck?"
Granny Fingernail was busy with something when she heard Angor's question. She looked up and asked, "You want a scroll that increases luck? Are you planning to use it in alchemy?"
However, he wasn't planning to do it in the real world. Instead, he planned to experiment in the dream wasteland when he could do unlimited alchemy.
Angor nodded.
Granny Fingernail gave Angor a thoughtful look. Because this scene made her feel as if she had returned to over a thousand years ago in a daze.
At that time, there was also a genius alchemist who came to her in high spirits and said to her in an excited tone, "I found the way, I found the way! But there were too many obstacles, and I couldn't reach the other side. So I came up with a way. I can use a scroll that increases luck to help me with my alchemy. "
He happily shared his idea with Granny Fingernail.
Granny Fingernail was still young at the time, and she was convinced by him. He brought him to travel the four Sorcerer Worlds and finally found the Scroll of Fortune in the Northern Territory Sorcerer World.
Angor planned to make the scroll when he returned to the southern region.
However, on the way back to the Southern Domain, he couldn't hold back any longer.
In a remote world, he told Granny Fingernail that this place was very comfortable and filled him with inspiration. He was sure that he could make the scroll right away.
Granny Fingernail also understood the importance of environment and inspiration. So, she decided to help Angor as his assistant.
When the box appeared, a mysterious energy surged into the sky and shrouded the remote world.
It was Mystery energy.
From the very beginning, what he wanted to create was not an ordinary product, but a product that pointed directly to the realm of Mystery.
With the help of the scroll of luck, he succeeded.
However, the moment he succeeded was also the moment of his nightmare. This Mystery item was different from other Mystery items. As soon as it appeared, it began to erode the world around it. It changed the laws, ignored the laws, and created new ones.
Before Angor could feel the joy of becoming a Mystery alchemist, he was terrified by what he saw.
At the last moment, he used up all his strength to send Granny Fingernail away, and he was trapped in the sealed world.
He was trapped here forever, unable to escape.
Granny Fingernail wanted to save him, but no one could enter that world. All the prophecies pointed to his death.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Later, Granny Fingernail learned from a visitor from the origin world that not all Mystery items could be controlled. There were still Mystery items that went out of control in this world.
And every Mystery item that went out of control was a disaster.
Angor's Box of Rebirth also went out of control in the end.
…
Angor didn't know what Granny Fingernail was thinking. "What's wrong, Granny Fingernail? You don't have it here? "
Granny Fingernail came back to her senses and shook her head. "Magic scrolls that increase Luck are very rare. I don't have any here."
Angor wasn't disappointed. He didn't expect to find it so easily anyway. After all, Sunders spent a lot of effort to find it. How could he be so lucky?
Angor asked Granny Fingernail because he was inspired by the list.
"Do you know where I can find it, Granny Fingernail?"
Granny Fingernail stared at him for a while. "I don't know who has it, but I suggest you don't use it for alchemy."
"Why?"
"Luck is the infinite collapse of all the bad possibilities. The remaining probabilistic choices are the so-called opportunities. However, you might not be able to get what you want from the rest of the choices. Some of the positive opportunities might not be suitable for you, and they might not even be suitable for alchemy. "Granny Fingernail paused for a second.
"Especially when it's used in alchemy of Mystery items."
Angor abruptly looked up at Granny Fingernail.
The other apprentices also looked at Angor. They had been eavesdropping on Granny Fingernail, and they couldn't help but ask.
Why did Granny Fingernail say "especially when it comes to Mystery items"?
Did Granny mean that this sloppily dressed middle-aged man was going to refine a mysterious item? But, what right did he have?
"Is he —" Bo Li covered her mouth.
Bo Li didn't say it out loud, but everyone thought of one possibility.
There was only one alchemist in the entire southern wizardry region who was close to Mystery items. It was Angor, the famous alchemist.
Granny Fingernail couldn't be lying, so this was the only possibility left.
At the thought of this possibility, everyone's eyes were burning with passion. Even though they were arguing about Synthesis and Enchantment, and Angor was the representative of Enchantment, this didn't stop them from admiring Angor.
Louis, on the other hand, was a little stunned. He could not believe that things were going in such a strange direction … Although he was mumbling, it should not be possible, right? However, the scales in his mind began to sway.
On the other hand, Angor also realized that Granny Fingernail already knew who he was.
Angor was surprised. If Granny Fingernail could see through his disguise, she must be very powerful, or she must be a core member of Floating Mech City.
It was possible that she was both.
"I'm going to use the Scroll of Luck for alchemy, but I don't plan to make a Mystery item yet." Angor spoke slowly. "But I'm curious. You said that using the Scroll of Luck to make a Mystery item is risky even if it's a positive opportunity. Why is that?"
"Since you don't plan to make a Mystery item yet, you don't need to know." Granny Fingernail paused. "But try not to take too many steps. If you really want to make a Mystery item, I hope you can take it step by step until you reach the peak."
Granny Fingernail's words and Angor's "I don't plan to make a Mystery item yet" were enough to prove his identity.
The apprentice alchemists were in an uproar. They were prepared for this, but they still couldn't believe it.
Louis couldn't believe his eyes. The man he looked down on just now was a real master alchemist.
Bo Li's eyes lit up. No one knew what she was thinking.
