Angor still remembered Leon's old saying: "A man's romance is like a wild horse."
Vehicles were attractive to most men, and Angor was no exception. However, compared to Fast and Furious, he was more interested in whether he needed them or not.
At the very least, before he learned any flying techniques, a flying vehicle was something he urgently needed.
The closer he got to the center of Tree Spirit Garden, the more buildings there became. As Angor stepped into the central area, he saw many advanced apprentices. Every now and then, he could feel a strong aura coming from somewhere.
The most common thing in the central area was screams and conflicts.
Angor saw several pursuers flying over his head like flickering lights.
In such a violent area, more and more people were showing indifference on their faces. Not long ago, a man covered in blood was lying at the feet of a passerby. He reached out to the passerby for help, but the passerby did not even look at him.
Seeing such a scene, Angor suddenly felt that the apprentice town outside the city was like a paradise.
The Mission Hall was located right in front of the central square. Unlike the small houses around it, the Mission Hall was especially magnificent. It was inlaid with gold and stone, with gorgeous glass, and had a red roof like the peak of a mountain. It looked like a sacred church.
There were more people here. Everyone was in a hurry, coming and going like the wind.
He entered the questing hall and saw a dozen large, round counters. Each counter had a 360-degree screen above it, on which words and numbers were flashing rapidly. Behind the counters, there were attendants quickly recording the information about the quests they accepted.
The arc-shaped screen was filled with mission information.
On the walls on both sides of the hall, there were also giant glass screens about ten meters in length and width, which were showing the quest information. Angor also noticed that the screens were divided into sections. Quests issued by wizards and organizations were at the top section, while those issued by apprentices were at the bottom right section. The bottom left section was for more important information.
It was Angor's first time coming to the questing hall, so he was still unfamiliar with the process of accepting quests. So he simply found a remote corner and observed the other apprentices.
After observing for a while, Angor learned how to accept a quest. Most apprentices would read the quest information on the screen. When they saw a quest they were interested in, they would write down the number of the quest and register it with the attendant at the counter. Some of them would directly ask the attendant for more information.
Just like the others, Angor also checked the information on the screen.
He noticed that many high-cost quests disappeared as soon as they appeared on the screen. Most of the quests on the screen had low rewards or took a long time. For example, the quest to find talents from other continents was always on the screen. There were also missions with high rewards but high difficulty, such as exploring ruins, outposts in planar expeditions, and so on … Although these missions were for apprentices, they all knew that apprentices were basically cannon fodder for these missions.
There were also some quests with high rewards and short time, but no one was willing to accept them. Angor was confused at first, but when he saw who it was, he understood everything.
Dumartin Bayer, nicknamed "Miniature World". He was a sorcerer who was known for his cruel experiments on living creatures.
Dumartin's mission was: Find an apprentice who would cooperate with the experiment. The requirement was to have a Spiritual Power of 15 or above. Reward: 100 magic crystals per day.
There was another type of quest with a high reward, but still very few people accepted them. They were the quests that involved technical skills, such as magic arrays or alchemy. Angor also paid attention to them.
Since Brute Cavern did not have many alchemists, alchemy quests were the most common, and the rewards were always high. In fact, they were getting more and more expensive.
Angor saw someone buying "White Orchid Potion". The reward was 200 magic crystals a moment ago, and the next moment, it increased to 230 magic crystals. The seller already had the materials ready. All that was left was an Apothecary alchemist.
Angor did not know much about Apothecaries, but he remembered Mara once said that Morning Dew had the same effect as White Orchid Potion, which could help apprentices break through the bottleneck.
He still had a lot of Morning Dew left, but he did not plan to give it away.
Angor then checked some alchemy quests related to Tooling. Among them, there were several necessary experiment tools for wizards. Energy Stabilizers were on the list, which cost more than 300 magic crystals.
There were also many quests related to alchemy weapons.
A month ago, Dave mentioned that tiered alchemy weapons could cost as much as 200 magic crystals. Now, he realized that 200 magic crystals was only the lowest requirement. Most of the alchemy weapons sold for more than 300, and the most expensive ones even went as high as 1000.
Angor expected such a huge price increase.
When he heard that the purification garden was about to be opened, a random scythe he crafted was already sold for 400 magic crystals, not to mention other weapons.
Angor checked the quests with the highest reward and chose the ones he could accept.
He could craft some of the items that cost more than 1000 magic crystals. However, considering the problem of efficiency and the idea of keeping a low profile, he gave up on them.
Angor also noticed that the custom-made weapons were usually expensive. Even low-tiered weapons were sold for 50 magic crystals. As for tiered weapons, they cost more than 500 magic crystals.
He only had ten days, and he did not plan to meet the sellers one by one. So, he chose the ones that had fewer requirements, were easy to craft, and had the best materials he could bring himself.
Angor chose seven quests at a time, and the total reward was about 3000 magic crystals.
Angor did not go to the counter right away. Instead, he checked the bulletin board at the bottom left of the screen. Most of the information on the bulletin board was related to sorcerer-apprentices.
As expected, the purification garden was about to open.
Angor kept reading and saw that the second tunnel to the Moonfrost Moon was about to open.
Angor took a quick look at the screen and did not find anything else worth his attention. He turned around, picked a counter with fewer people, and walked over.
Most of the waiters were mortals, so they all showed enough respect to a supernatural.
Angor read out the number of the quests he chose.
There were many people who accepted multiple missions at once, so the staff didn't think much of it. "Sir, please show me your bone card."
A moment later, the waiter showed him a strange look. "Sir, your record is 0. If you want to accept a quest, you have to pay 10% of the reward as a deposit. And — "
A young man in a white robe with golden edges stepped out from behind Angor and continued, "Also, you'll have to pay for some quests that require the publisher to provide their own materials."
The waiter nodded. "You're right, sir."
Angor frowned and looked at the stranger.
The young man smiled. "Excuse me. I accidentally overheard your quest number, so I know it's an alchemy quest."
Accidentally overheard? Angor did not believe it. This person was definitely not behind him before. It was clear that this person walked towards him after the service staff took his bone card to check.
Angor sneered and glanced at the waiter, who lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.
As expected.
The young man did not mind that Angor saw through his trick. He kept smiling. "If you don't mind, sir, are you an alchemist?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Angor kept a straight face.
The young man did not mind Angor's coldness at all. "Don't be so cold to me. I respect alchemists very much. I used some tricks, but even if I don't, someone else will. You can ask him if you don't believe me. Every quest you take is being watched by countless people. "
The waiter who was named by the white-robed young man shuddered. After a long while, he said, "Indeed."
Angor's expression turned even darker. "Did you tell the others?"
The waiter shook his head. "Not yet."
The young man continued, "My price is much higher than the others, so I should be the first one to know. But I'm sure the others have noticed me talking to you. They'll notice you soon, sir."
"Just because I took an alchemy quest?" Angor frowned.
The young man admitted frankly, "That's right. You know how precious alchemists are in this place. My quest has been up for almost half a year, and no one took it. You can imagine why. But don't worry, sir. The others, including me, are just trying to get closer to alchemists. Apart from a very small number of people, no one will harm you. "
"You're one of the 'very small number'?"
The young man was surprised. Even if he asked those who wanted to harm Angor, they would probably not admit it. The young man finally noticed that Angor was too young. He was probably not even 16 years old. At this age, Angor had not completely fallen into darkness and still had hope for humanity. No wonder he would ask such a childish question.
"Of course not," the young man said, "So, are you willing to listen to me?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Again, are you an alchemist?"
Angor considered for a moment and nodded.
The young man's eyes brightened up. "Great! I'll get straight to the point. I saw that you took a tiered alchemy weapon quest. Are you interested in quest No. 5428? "
